2024 Q2 Release

Changes in Liferay DXP

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

Breaking Change	Description	References
Commerce Countries Page Removed	The Countries page is removed from the Commerce menu because it’s no longer a Commerce-specific feature. Countries are now instead managed via the Countries Management page in the Control Panel.	LPD-15148
Translating Status for Web Content Articles	Translating any field in a web content article now changes the status to Translating. The article is only considered translated once all fields are translated.	LPD-6589
Confirming Permissions when Publishing Content	Users are prompted to confirm permissions for new content when initially published or saved, requiring an extra click. This is not required for updates or subsequent publishes.	LPD-6769
Date Shown in the Mine Content Filter	The Mine content filter displays creation dates for content instead of modified dates.	LPD-6830
Date Shown in the Recent Content Filter	The Recent content filter displays creation dates for content instead of modified dates.	LPD-6828
Virtual Hosts for Default Sites in Company XML Sitemaps	A new SEO menu is added to Instance Settings to select specific sites for the instance, and the default site cannot be removed from the list. If the default site has a Virtual Host defined, it is not added to the company’s XML sitemap (though it is in the description).	LPD-6672
Removed Configuration Screens for Utility Pages	Configuration screens not relevant to utility pages no longer appear when configuring them. The HTML Title, HTML Description, and SEO Configuration screens are still included.	LPD-4459
Clearing Facet Selections for New Searches	Searching with a new keyword (in the header’s search bar or a search bar widget) clears all selected facets. The old behavior of keeping selected facets can be enabled via the Retain Facet Selections Across Searches option in the Search Options widget.	LPD-19994
`com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.RemotePreference` API Removed	The `com.liferay.portal.kernel.util.RemotePreference` API is removed. Any custom code using the `User.getRemotePreference(String)` or `User.getRemotePreferences()` methods is impacted. Instead, get the necessary cookies from the request to get remote preferences.	LPD-20659
Localizations for Custom Objects	Users can now set the localization for custom objects. Translatable object fields now use the preferred Locale given by the `DTOConverterContext`. Depending on your use case, adjust your code to add or remove the `Accept-Language` header.	LPD-19561

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

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

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: Sep. 13, 2023
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.

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.

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.
