Feature Status Change

This feature ensures that theme CSS client extensions "just work" out of the box when referencing images from the base theme. It reduces friction in the development process, increases reliability, and provides a more seamless and predictable experience when customizing their Liferay environments.
 

How it works:

Simplified Image Management:

• Developers no longer need to manually handle or configure paths for images included in the base theme.

• Relative paths (e.g., ../images) can now directly reference these images, reducing complexity and errors.

Out-of-the-Box Compatibility:

• The feature ensures that theme images are automatically included during the build process via the assemble step.

• This means that after deploying the theme CSS client extension, image references work seamlessly without additional configuration.

The new Date Range and Range aggregation types unlock powerful search capabilities for your Liferay assets, including Web Content Structures and Objects.

By configuring any date or numeric index field, you can:

• Group and Filter Results: Create dynamic search filters based on specific dates or numeric ranges.
• Customize User Experience: Offer flexible search options with predefined ranges or custom input fields.
• Visualize Data Effectively: Leverage out-of-the-box display templates for a seamless user interface.

Think of Date Range as a versatile extension of the Modified Facet. You can now select any desired date field to refine search results precisely.

Note:
The functionality of the Date Facet widget was introduced under a Developer Feature Flag in LPS-153839 2024.Q1 has been integrated into the Custom Facet and is now available as GA. The Date Facet widget is no longer available.

We added the permissions assigned to Custom and Modifiable Object Entries to the Objects Entries APIs' nested fields. This will be useful when we export/import Object Entries with permissions through Batch.

Feature Status Change

A new out-of-the-box (OOTB) email notification template based on Objects. This template will be automatically sent to the order creator when an order status changes to 'pending'.

The notification includes:

• Order number

• Order date

• Account name

• Shipping address

• Order item summary

• Order total

We will move away from Commerce notifications and deprecate them and we will use Objects for the new ones.

Feature Status Change

Roles Managers can now define permissions for Object entries directly within the Roles UI. A new “Objects” main menu item has been added to the Define Permissions tab, listing all Custom Objects, allowing easier granular permission assignment.

Feature Status Change

This feature introduces the ability to create and manage custom picklists for product specifications. Users can now define specific values for product attributes, improving data consistency and efficiency. The feature includes the option to create new picklists or add existing ones directly on the specification page.

Create smooth multistep forms directly in the page builder with Liferay’s new fragment—making complex processes simple and intuitive!

Liferay DXP makes it easy to create dynamic, multi-step forms. Simply add a stepper fragment to any existing form to transform it into a multi-step journey. You can then organize your form into different steps, moving inputs between them as needed. Users can easily navigate through the steps using the step menu or form buttons, which you can customize to fit your needs.

Synonym Sets now also supports the following languages (locales) out of the box:

• Portuguese (Brazil): pt_BR

• Portuguese (Portugal): pt_PT

• Italian: it_IT

• Arabic (Saudi Arabia): ar_SA

• Catalan (Spain): ca_ES

• Catalan (Andorra): ca_AD

• Catalan (Spain, Valencian): ca_ES_VALENCIA

• Chinese (China): zh_CN

• Chinese (Taiwan): zh_TW

• Dutch (Netherlands): nl_NL

• Dutch (Belgium): nl_BE

• French (France): fr_FR

• French (Canadian): fr_CA

• German (Germany): de_DE

• Hungarian (Hungary): hu_HU

• Japanese (Japan): ja_JP

• Swedish (Sweden): sv_SE

Administrators are advised to review the Elasticsearch connector configuration and remove any customized field mappings and settings added previously for the above locales from the Override Type Mappings and the Additional Index Settings as now they are provided by the platform out-of-the-box. (Requires a Full or Concurrent Reindex!)
