Changes in Liferay DXP

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

Breaking Changes	Description	References
Analytics Cloud API	The `impressionMade` event replaces the `previewed` event in the Analytics Cloud API. The new `impressionMadeMetric` consolidates impressions to include both the new `impressionMade` events and legacy `previewed` events.	LPD-61800
Button Text	Button text no longer creates escaped text when the user presses Enter.	LPD-62655
Duplicated Object Definitions and Entities	Object definitions and entities that share the same name now may appear multiple times in the UI.	LPD-62188
Exporting/Importing Site-Scoped Settings	Headless API now exposed and managed via export/import operations. The imported configuration now overrides existing site configurations with a matching site scope.	LPD-58493
Fragment Content Nested in a Collection Display	Content created within a nested fragment in a Collection Display fragment is no longer indexed.	LPD-63304
Importing Content with Parent Pages	Importing content referencing a non-existent parent page now creates an empty parent page with the `Empty` status. Pages with the `Empty` status now appear clearly labeled in the UI. These pages allow limited actions (adding children, editing, and moving) and are excluded from navigation, search, and item selectors.	LPD-56377, LPD-61845, LPD-65251
Mail Settings	The system-wide mail settings for Liferay DXP are moved from Server Administration to System Settings (under Email → Virtual Instance Scope). Instance-level mail settings inherit from the base system settings. Existing settings migrate during the database upgrade.	LPD-25567
Object Inheritance	Child object entries can now inherit from multiple parents, or have no parent. The object definition’s relationship field is now only required when an entry is created in a parent context. Standalone entries no longer inherit permissions or configurations from a root object.	LPD-47816
Previewing Display Page Templates and Content	The Review Changes screen for display page templates now shows the templates and content created with them.	LPD-58225, LPD-60040
Previewing Web Content Fields	The Review Changes screen for web content articles now shows all fields, including ones created with custom structures.	LPD-61221
SAML User Groups	User groups that exist in Liferay but not in a SAML service provider now sync automatically when a user in the group authenticates with SAML.	LPD-46627
Velocity Templates in Workflow	Velocity is no longer available in workflow.	LPD-66671

Ticket: LPD-68474
What changed: The abstract getTableAndPrimaryKeyColumnNames method is removed. Additionally, the new getTableNames method is added.
