Compatibility with Java JDK 8 runtime has been deprecated as of Q4.2023. Java JDK 11 is now the recommended runtime environment. All Java Technical Compatibility Kit (TCK) compliant builds of Java 11 are certified. DXP source compile and runtime compatibility for a higher Java JDK is expected in 2024.
Release Notes
Proxy Objects allows users to manipulate data directly in external systems, such as Salesforce. This feature provides the ability to always interact with live data, avoiding duplicating and conflicts between the systems.
Now, Liferay includes a connector to Salesforce for proxy objects. With it, you can integrate your proxy object with custom Salesforce objects, using Salesforce as an external storage system
Now the “Theme SVG Spritemap” frontend client extensions is enabled by default.
Now, users can build forms and content pages configuring them to trigger stand-alone actions with a click from the content page UI through the Page Builder.
We have added a new type of mapping that is available for editable type Action: you can see for example in a button fragment general options. To provide this out-of-the-box, we have evolved the button fragment to contain a configuration to switch between Link and Action buttons.
Before, changing cacheable
configuration of a fragment would imply a "save" action and potentially a changes propagation action (no changes indeed if only the cache configuration was changed). This caused problems in performance and other aspects (such as wrong modification date).
From now on, and to avoid that, Fragments Cacheable
property is managed in the Fragment options ellipsis menu: Fragment Sub-Elements Reference
This prevents fragment save + propagation when this configuration is modified, making it more efficient and resistant to issues.
In addition to that, we have added a cached label to better indicate which fragments have active cache.
IMPORTANT: BREAKING CHANGE as customers might expect the Cacheable configuration to be inside Fragments Editor, and now it’s placed in a different position.
Now it is faster to implement experiences that rely on forms to interact with a business process, specifically in scenarios in which our customers decide to create their own custom form fragments according to their own look & feel or behavior.
We have added a configuration for the user to decide which form fragments will be automatically mapped to each Object field type, when a form container is mapped to an object.
Improves the overall usability of the application and also the ability to reorder and add items. Also improve the accessibility of functionality:
- Now it is possible to move the items in a navigation menu using the keyboard.
- There is more flexibility when adding items to the navigation menu since you can now select the place where you want to add them to.
This feature allows developers to add email notifications directly into the notifications queue. It is useful when the email notification templates do not support a necessary custom logic that the template requires without requiring customers to re-write the entire email engine logic.
