The "Save as Draft" and "Cancel" options are no longer visible when editing Web Content. Instead, the content is automatically saved as a draft.
With the implementation of autosaving, users no longer need to worry about losing their progress when editing content. Autosaving ensures that all changes are continuously saved in the background, providing peace of mind and reducing the risk of data loss due to unexpected interruptions.

Fixed a bug that was causing some 404 redirects to direct back to the previous page instead of to the 404 error page.
If any implementations were relying on users being redirected back to the previous page, they might need to be updated to account for the new redirect to the 404 page.
What changed?
From Liferay DXP 2024.Q2 onwards, localizable object entry fields now default to the instance's language setting, replacing the previous user-language default.
Why was this change made? Is the new behavior better for users?
This change was implemented to ensure consistent language configuration. The new behavior is indeed better for users because:
It prevents discrepancies that could occur when users with different language settings interacted with the same object entry fields.
It provides a unified experience across all user interactions.
Who is affected?
Customers using or upgrading from versions prior to Liferay DXP 2024.Q2 are affected by this change.
How should I update my features or implementation to better adopt the breaking change?
To adapt to the new behavior:
Check your existing localizable object entries' default language settings.
Adjust these settings to match the instance language if needed.
This ensures consistent language defaults and creates a uniform experience for all users.
The AMBackwardsCompatibilityHtmlContentTransformer class was introduced in the Adaptive Media release (~7 years ago) to manage content created before Adaptive Media was implemented. This approach helped to avoid a costly upgrade at the time. However, since much time has passed and newer content no longer requires this processing, we are disabling the AM backward compatibility HTML content transformer by default.
The primary reason for this change is performance: the content transformer can consume significant CPU resources, especially under heavy traffic.
The content transformer can be enabled in Instance Settings > Adaptive Media if necessary.
The JVM java.locale.providers
setting for DXP has been restored to the default value to account for the move to Java JDK 17 and 21.
Previously, DXP and Portal shipped with and recommended setting java.locale.providers=JRE,COMPAT,CLDR
to provide consistent locale behavior for Java 8 and 11 since JRE was previously the default provider. With Java 17 and 21, JRE is now deprecated and the CLDR locale provider becomes the default and recommended provider. See further information from Oracle.
The new recommended value is java.locale.providers=CLDR,COMPAT
as it is the new JVM default. The Liferay Tomcat bundles for 2024.Q4 will ship without this JVM property set, since we are using the default.
With this change the default provider, some locale information in the system might display with modified formatting. For example, a Date and Time display may have previously shown as “9/12/24 9:10 PM” but now displays as “9/12/24, 9:10 PM”. This is the expected result from moving to the latest Java locale provider that meets modern language standards.
This is a breaking change for Data Sets that are under BETA FF
Anybody who created data sets before this epic will not be able to see them in Data Set Manager anymore.
Data Set fragment configuration will no longer display previous data sets as options.
Data Set fragment placed on a page will no longer show anything.
The Data Set Views have been removed. From now on a Data Set has only a view.
New Data Set endpoints are available and working under
datas-et-admin
(ex: http://localhost:8080/o/api?endpoint=http://localhost:8080/o/data-set-admin/data-sets/openapi.json)All Data Set endpoints are still available and working under
data-set-manager
but not used by the Data Set Manager or Frontend Data Set. Information from created Data Sets before this change is stored in them (ex: http://localhost:8080/o/api?endpoint=http://localhost:8080/o/data-set-manager/data-sets/openapi.json)

What changed?
Javascript from fragments is now included in the page using a <script> of type module, instead of embedding the code in a functionWhy was this change made?
We wanted to leverage all the features available in the javascript modules: JavaScript modules - JavaScript | MDN
For example: the ability to use import statementsWhat is affected?
Code that is not supported directly in a <script> tag of type module
For example:return
statements outside the scope of a functionAutomatic variable declaration, for example
myVariable = 'value'
How should I update my features or implementation to better adopt the breaking change?
Code should be fairly easy to migrate, just remove any return statement, and for the variable declaration you either uselet
orconst
next to the variable nameconst myVariable = 'value'
As a temporary workaround (would be removed soon), we have added disable to this feature. You have to go to Instance Settings -> Page Fragments -> Fragment Javascript and disable the checkbox
Changed the methods of adding a Collection to specify the ERC when is created. If a customer has Java code that is using these services they should modify it to specify the ERC (or Null) when is called.
The functionality of the Date Facet widget introduced under a Developer FF in LPS-153839 in 2024.Q1, has been integrated into the Custom Facet and now available as GA. The Date Facet widget is no longer available.
Refer to the Date Range and Range Aggregation in the Custom Facet under Search for more details.
