In order to add more flexibility to every execution in batch engine, we have added a new parameter ( batchExternalReferenceCode ) to be capable to send it to the backend without updating the ERC of the import task.

Key Benefits:

• Simplicity of execution with one parameter for each purpose.

• Add new capabilities for all entities that supports batch.

This feature provides a way for customers to consume object validations and manage the experience for end users as they require.

Key Benefits:

• In multi-step forms, end user data can be validated in each step without persisting the data

It’s going to be available without enabling the BETA flag, and from now it’s officially supported.

The Liferay Developer Studio installer now includes JDK 21 as a selectable option if it’s available, simplifying the initial setup and providing a more convenient and user-friendly experience for developers wanting to use the latest Java version supported by Liferay.

This feature aims to enable all fields of an object to be localizable and displayed according to the user's chosen locale settings.

Key Benefits:

• The localization feature will support all existing locales in the system

• Custom Object entries and Modifiable System Objects entries

• Localization settings are now managed at the individual field level

The JS Component Support Tabs (data-toggle="liferay-tabs" API ) is being deprecated and it is not included in the bundle unless deprecation FF LPD-47713 is enabled.

The Lodash library is being deprecated and it is not included in the bundle unless deprecation FF LPD-48975 is enabled.

Liferay DXP now allows on-demand migration of Virtual Instances across different installations, making existing environments portable and easier to manage—especially in cloud-based deployments. Whether you're moving from on-premise to Liferay SaaS, or just shifting between environments (like UAT to Production) on the same installation, this feature simplifies the process by allowing instances to be migrated, instead of the entire database.

Feature can be enabled with Beta Feature Flag: LPD-11342

Working with Global Services to identify pain points in Javascript resources distribution and unused code was the trigger to:

• Remove unused packages

• Deprecate old packages

• Set configurations to let users to not use/load some functionalities

• Create a JS size comparision report

• Create tooling to be able to split modules in smaller submodules
   

Key Benefits:

• Reduced total JS bundle size → Faster portal loading

• Reduced total exports → Faster portal loading

• Taking as example Masterclass home page:

  • Reduced JS Size in MB by 20%

  • Reduced number of request by 12 %

  • Mobile Lighthouse score from 52 to 56

  • Desktop Lighthouse score from 70 to 77

• Allow teams to divide modules to offer smaller entry points when they detect some part of the module is not commonly used.

• Size report tooling able to trigger risks.

The existing documentation for Clay components and the API Table has been inconsistent in quality, often lacking detailed explanations and practical examples. This inconsistency makes it difficult for developers to effectively utilise these components, leading to confusion and an increased number of support requests.

Key Benefits:

• Developers now have a better mechanism for generating API Tables for components, improving the overall understanding of component usage and available APIs. With detailed explanations and real-world examples.

• With this new standardised documentation practices we can ensure a uniform quality and completeness across all components.

• Clearer, more structured, and more practical documentation will reduce frustration and improve the development process.

• Clearer documentation minimizes the need for external support, freeing up resources and improving response times.

Field visibility can now be configured based on values within the same custom fragment. This enables fields to dynamically show or hide based on user input, supporting more responsive and context-aware interfaces.

This update gives teams more flexibility when building custom fragments, making it easier to support complex use cases without additional custom code.

With the release of Liferay DXP 2025.Q2, we are deprecating the Elasticsearch 7 compatibility due to the end-of-maintenance and upcoming EOL of the Elastic Stack 7.17. Liferay strongly recommends all customers with 7.17.x or earlier deployments to upgrade to the latest compatible version of Elasticsearch 8.x. Learn more. 

Customers very commonly deploy fragments through the deploy folder, we identified that we are missing one log once the fragment import finished. Until now Liferay added a message in the application server logs that show that the fragment import has started, but it never indicates when it finishes. Some advantages of logging when the import process finishes is that customers can check when the deployment is still in progress and when it ends, not only being informed in case of failures.

The Concurrent and Sync Reindex Modes, providing high-availability, introduced in Liferay DXP 7.4 Update 98 / Liferay DXP 2023.Q4 are now GA.

Reduce downtime, improve operational and resource utilization efficiency with the new Concurrent and Sync reindex execution modes providing high-availability in search capabilities while the operation is running.

The AMD Loader is being deprecated and it is not included in the bundle unless deprecation FF LPD-48372 is enabled.

As a result of the AMD Loader deprecation, the npm-bundler will stop working too, it is recommended to use standard bundling tools such as webpack, esbuild, vite, etc.

Allow users to modify only the first collection display item.

This feature enable the creation of multi steps forms in Page Editor.

This release introduces in-context translation for all the form fields directly within the page editor. This empowers content creators to easily create localized form experiences for their users, enabling them to complete forms in their preferred language. Only designated localizable form fields will be translated, ensuring precise control over localized content.

Key Benefits:

• Faster time to publish localized forms: Translating directly in the editor reduces the steps needed to launch forms in multiple languages.

• Reduces reliance on external tools or workflows: Content teams can manage translations within the same interface they use to build pages, simplifying the process.

• Improves accuracy and consistency: Only the form fields marked as translatable are included, so there's less risk of translating the wrong content or missing something important.

• Better experience for global audiences: Visitors can complete forms in their preferred language, which can increase completion rates and engagement.Gives teams more control over localization: Editors can choose exactly what gets translated and when, without needing developer support.
