Feature Status Change

The AMD Loader are being deprecated and they will be removed in the future. Liferay DXP officially supports ESM, which is the official standardized module system for JavaScript, while AMD was a third-party solution.

By adopting ESM, products align with the language's native capabilities and future direction. Modern browsers now natively support ESM, allowing for direct use without transpilation or additional loaders. This can lead to reduced bundle sizes, faster initial page loads and simplified development workflows. This will imply also the deprecation of Liferay-CLI.

This release introduces a new Multishipping feature to the storefront, allowing customers to ship parts the same order to multiple addresses with a single checkout. Whether customers are sending gifts to different recipients or shipping products to various locations, the Multishipping feature offers a seamless and flexible shopping experience.

Administrators can allow multishipping in their site through a new configuration in the site’s Channel details page. The customers can access a new “Multishipping” tab in the Open Order Details page to easily manage the Delivery Groups and customize the quantity of each order item for every Delivery Group for the order before the checkout.

Please note that this feature is available through the existing “Commerce Classic Site Initializer” Beta feature flag. To enable it, open the Applications Menu → Control Panel → Instance Settings → Feature Flags → Beta.

Key benefits:

1. Easy to Setup: Multishipping can be activated for your site by enabling “Allow Multishipping” in your site’s Channel Details page.

2. Flexible Address and Delivery Management: Customers can easily set different shipping addresses or different delivery dates for the same address in the context of the same order.

Introducing new key improvements to the B2B Guest Checkout experience, enhancing the overall user journey and providing greater flexibility for both new and returning customers.

Guests now have the option to sign in or sign up during the checkout process, directly from the mini-cart. Once logged in, users can either select an existing account or create a new one, ensuring that they can move through the purchase flow smoothly without disruptions. Upon setting the account, guests, now logged-in users, will be redirected to the checkout, making the transition to completing the purchase seamless.

Additionally, if a guest decides to sign in without necessarily checking out, the guest cart will now be merged with their account after logging in. This ensures that any items added to the cart during the guest session are retained when they sign in or select an existing account, improving the continuity and experience for returning users.

Key benefits:

1. Enhanced User Experience: By allowing guests to sign in or create an account directly from the mini-cart, we provide a more intuitive and streamlined checkout process. Guests can complete their purchase with minimal steps, reducing friction and abandonment rates.

2. Cart Persistence: The ability to merge guest carts ensures that items are not lost when guests decide to sign in or register. This improves convenience for returning users and supports a smoother transition between sessions.

This feature focuses on rigorously aligning the User Management headless APIs with the established standards and best practices. This includes:

• Comprehensive Functionality Testing: Verifying that all API endpoints (PATCH/POST/PUT) correctly update the expected fields in user records.

• Custom Field Support: Ensuring seamless integration and proper functioning of custom fields within the API interactions.

• Error Handling: Thoroughly testing error handling mechanisms and verifying that informative and user-friendly error messages are returned in all relevant scenarios.

• Data Manipulation Capabilities: Confirming the correct and efficient functioning of sorting, filtering, and other data manipulation operations within the API.

Key benefits:

• Enhanced User Experience: By ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the User Management headless APIs, we provide a seamless and efficient user experience for developers and integrators.

• Increased Developer Productivity: Well-defined and documented APIs empower developers to build integrations quickly and confidently, reducing development time and effort.

• Improved System Stability: Rigorous testing and alignment with standards minimize the risk of unexpected errors and system disruptions, leading to a more stable and reliable user management system.

• Enhanced Data Integrity: By ensuring accurate data updates and consistent API behavior, we maintain the integrity and consistency of user data across the system.

This enhancement introduces configurable default permissions for newly created pages. Admins can set these permissions at both the instance and site levels. Instance-level settings are managed in a new Instance Settings panel, while site-specific overrides can be configured in the Site Configuration area.

During the publishing process, users can both define and manage permissions, as well as schedule publication dates for their web content. When creating content for the first time, users will have the opportunity to conveniently review and manage permissions. Furthermore, when editing previously created content, users can also adjust permissions directly from the editor view. Additionally, users can easily select the desired publication date for their content during the publishing process.

It is now possible to subscribe to documents and folders, allowing users to receive notifications when they are updated.

Highlights:

• Users can now subscribe to documents and folders through the “Subscribe” action and through the Subscribe icon in the Info Panel

• If a user subscribes to a folder, all documents and subfolders within it will be automatically subscribed to as well
