Changes in Liferay DXP

Here is a list of changes that break or significantly alter existing functionality within Liferay.

Breaking Change	Description	References
Selecting Guest Role for Segments	You can no longer select the Guest role when editing a Segment. The option was removed because selecting this role would not work properly.	LPS-199579
Breadcrumb Portlet Access to Sites for Guests	Guests can now access sites via the Breadcrumb portlet as long as they are accessible to Guests. Previously, the portlet incorrectly denied access if the site had restricted or private membership.	LPS-200487
Selecting Administrator Role for Segments	You can no longer assign regular administrators to Segments (like Site Administrators and Site Owners). Te option was removed because it caused some unexpected behaviors.	LPD-4335
Case-Sensitive Tags	Tag names are now case-sensitive.	LPD-6882
Filtering Web Content	All web content filters now only apply to the currently selected folder. This change makes web content filter behavior more consistent.	LPD-6710
Searching Web Content with Filters	If you have a filter applied when searching web content, performing a new search now clears the filter.	LPD-6710
Web Content Status Filter Names	The filter options for web content status have been renamed: “With approved versions” is now “Approved,” “With scheduled versions” is now “Scheduled,” and “With expired versions” is now “Expired.”	LPD-6709
Article ID in Web Content Template Editor	The `reserved-article-id` variable is renamed to `articleId` for web content templates. The `externalReferenceCode` and `resourcePrimKey` (i.e., the `structuredContentId`) variables are also added.	LPS-203949
Utility Page Configurations	The general configuration icon for utility pages no longer appears on the Page Design Options panel. You must now access them via the Actions menu on the Utility Pages page.	LPD-4459
Allow Manual Membership Management Option for New Sites	When creating a new site, the Allow Manual Membership Management option is disabled by default.	LPS-191374
Configuration for Auto-extending Session Timeouts	The `session.timeout.auto.extend` and `session.timeout.auto.extend.offset` portal properties are now configured in site, instance, or system settings instead.	LPS-199234

2023 Q4 Release

Changes in Liferay DXP

Here is a list of changes that break or significantly alter existing functionality within Liferay.

Breaking Change	Description	References
Minimum Compatible Elasticsearch Version	Elasticsearch must be updated to at least version 7.17. Liferay DXP no longer starts up with earlier versions (and a console error is shown).	Compatibility matrix
AB Testing	AB testing only supports one variant (in addition to the control). This prevents testing from taking exponentially longer time to complete.	LRAC-14353
Default Menu Display Configuration on Page Templates	By default, Menu Display widgets inherited from page templates have the Page Hierarchy configuration, even if private pages are enabled. This does not apply if the site has no pages.	LPS-194075
No Cache Option for DM File Downloads	By default, the new No Cache option is used for DM file downloads that do not have permission for Guest users.	LPS-174415
Support for Deploying Liferay with WebSphere	Deploying Liferay with an IBM WebSphere application server is deprecated. Support ends for this feature in one year (with the 2024 Q4 release).	TBA
Supported Java Versions	JDK 8 is deprecated and support for it ends in one year (with the 2024 Q4 release). Liferay DXP 7.4 must then use JDK 11.	TBA

2023 Q3 Release

Changes in Liferay DXP

Here is a list of changes that break or significantly alter existing functionality within Liferay.

Breaking Change	Description	References
Location of the Mark as Cacheable option for fragments	Mark (or unmark) fragments as cacheable in the Fragments menu (within the fragment’s Actions menu) instead of the editor. Now you can make this change separately from other edits to the fragment, which reduces the performance cost of propagating it to fragments in use. No implementation changes are necessary with this breaking change.	LPS-183735

Changes in Module Source Code

SolrClientManager.java modules/apps/portal-search-solr8/portal-search-solr8-impl/src/main/java/com/liferay/portal/search/solr8/internal/connection/SolrClientManager.java

Date: Aug. 17, 2023
Ticket: LPS-193926
What Changed: The HookHotDeployListener class no longer supports deploying a DLProcessor via hook. Instead, convert your DLProcessor into an OSGi implementation.
Reason: This prevents duplicated logic to register DLProcessor implementations between DLProcessorRegistryImpl and HookHotDeployListener.

portal.properties portal-impl/src/portal.properties

Date: Sep. 4, 2023
Ticket: LPS-194379
What Changed: The portal property discussion.subscribe is removed. Instead, set the same configuration in your instance settings in the UI.
Reason: Instance settings can be set specifically per instance and while Liferay is running, so it’s more flexible to configure it as an instance setting.

Ticket: LPS-195006
What Changed: The portal property discussion.comments.always.editable.by.owner is removed. Instead, configure the same setting in your instance settings in the UI.
Reason: Instance settings can be set specifically per instance and while Liferay is running, so it’s more flexible to configure it as an instance setting.

Changes in `portal-kernel` Classes

Document.java portal-kernel/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/search/Document.java

Date: Jul. 7, 2023
Ticket: LPS-188914
What Changed: These addFile methods are now deprecated: addFile(String, byte[], String), addFile(String, File, String), addFile(String, InputStream, String), and addFile(String, InputStream, String, int). Update your implementations by using an InputStream with the file’s data and calling the TextExtractor class’s extractText method. Then, call addFile(String, String) using the extractText call’s return value.
Reason: The deprecated addFile implementations are no longer used.

BaseModelPermissionChecker.java com.liferay.portal.kernel.security.permission.BaseModelPermissionChecker

Date: Aug. 11, 2023

Destination.java portal-kernel/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/messaging/Destination.java

Date: Sep. 1, 2023
Ticket: LPS-194337
What Changed: These methods are removed: copyMessageListeners, getMessageListenerCount, isRegistered, register, unregister. The MessageListenerRegistry interface is added to get message listeners associated with a provided destination name. Update your code by registering a MessageListener as an OSGi service, using the destination.name property.
Reason: This change simplifies the message bus code structure.

ConfigurationProvider.java portal-kernel/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/module/configuration/ConfigurationProvider.java

Date: Sep. 5, 2023
Ticket: LPS-188270
What Changed: The ConfigurationProvider class is moved into the portal-configuration-module-configuration-api module. Add portal-configuration-module-configuration-api as a build dependency to continue using the class.
Reason: The ConfigurationProvider class is only used for modules.

ConfigurationProviderUtil.java portal-kernel/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/module/configuration/ConfigurationProviderUtil.java

Date: Sep. 5, 2023
Ticket: LPS-188270
What Changed: The ConfigurationProviderUtil class is moved into the portal-configuration-module-configuration-api module. Add portal-configuration-module-configuration-api as a build dependency to continue using the class.
Reason: This class is being moved to ensure that the ConfigurationProvider class is always available to it.

PortletDisplay.java portal-kernel/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/theme/PortletDisplay.java

Date: Sep. 5, 2023
Ticket: LPS-188270
What Changed: The getPortletInstanceConfiguration(Class<T>) method is removed. Use the ConfigurationProviderUtil.getPortletInstanceConfiguration(Class<T>, ThemeDisplay) method or reference the ConfigurationProvider class for the same method instead.
Reason: The getPortletInstanceConfiguration method should be handled in ConfigurationProvider.

TriggerConfiguration.java portal-kernel/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/scheduler/TriggerConfiguration.java

Date: Sep. 11, 2023
Ticket: LPS-190994
What Changed: The scheduler framework no longer supports using an empty cron expression (or interval of 0) to disable a job. Instead, use the component blacklist to disable specific scheduler components. Check the required class names in the error message shown when using an empty cron expression.
Reason: If a job should not be bootstrapped, it should not be registered with the scheduler framework.
