Changes in Liferay DXP

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

Breaking Changes	Description	References
AWS S3 Store: NTLM Proxy	Due to the AWS SDK upgrade to 2.0, NTLM proxy authentication no longer works to connect to AWS, because the `ntlmProxyDomain` and `ntlmProxyWorkstation` keys are no longer used. Either use standard (username/password) authentication, or switch to another proxy solution.	LPD-58512
AWS S3 Store: Custom Signer Overrides	Due to the AWS SDK upgrade to 2.0, the signer override behavior has changed. If you rely on signer override for compatibility with older S3-compatible devices, you must verify your compatibility with AWS SDK 2.0’s default signing behavior.	LPD-58512
AWS S3 Store: Explicit HTTP Protocols	Due to the AWS SDK upgrade to 2.0, the SDK now determines your connection protocol based on your endpoint configuration. If you were forcing HTTP (non-HTTPS) connections via `connectionProtocol`, this setting is now ignored.	LPD-58512
AWS SDK Version Upgrade	The AWS SDK for Java 2.0 is now the actively maintained solution for connection Liferay to AWS. Liferay’s Amazon AWS S3 store connector has migrated to using this version.	LPD-58512
Blade Version 8.0	Blade 8.0 is released, adding support for new AI tools. This version is not compatible with Gradle tasks using Java 8. If you require Java 8 to run Gradle tasks, you must downgrade your workspace Gradle plugin to version `14.0.1` or lower, in your workspace’s `settings.gradle` file.	LPD-78046
Database Upgrade Tool: Batch Insert Configurations	To improve upgrade performance, database connections are now automatically supplied with batch input optimization arguments. User-defined arguments are still preserved. These arguments are `reWriteBatchedInserts=true` for PostgreSQL, `rewriteBatchedStatements=true` for MySQL/MariaDB, and `useBulkCopyForBatchInsert=true` for SQL Server.	LPD-58512
Database Upgrade Tool: Configuration Files	The database upgrade tool now reads all configurations from `portal-upgrade-ext.properties`, consolidating them into one file. The `portal-upgrade-database.properties` file is now deprecated and ignored.	LPD-58512
Database Upgrade Tool: Database Configuration	The database upgrade tool now reads your database configuration from `portal-ext.properties` directly, instead of requiring re-entry. You can still override this value via `portal-upgrade-ext.properties`.	LPD-59502
Database Upgrade Tool: Default App Server Paths	The default application server directory paths shown in the template in `app-server.properties` are updated to use explicit path notation (e.g., `./bin` instead of `/bin`). This change reduces ambiguity about these paths.	LPD-59502
Database Upgrade Tool: Default Database	The database upgrade tool now uses PostgreSQL as its default database. PostgreSQL is now widely adopted and the recommended database for Liferay DXP. You can still choose other supported databases by entering a different value at the prompt.	LPD-59502
Database Upgrade Tool: Default Heap Memory	The database upgrade tool’s default max heap memory is increased from 2048 MB to 4096 MB. This improves upgrade stability because the previous default was insufficient for large upgrades. You can still adjust the tool’s max memory via the `--jvm-opts` argument.	LPD-59502
Database Upgrade Tool: Default JVM Arguments	Some JVM arguments are now supplied with default values instead of enforcing explicit entry. Unless otherwise specified, it now uses `-Dfile.encoding=UTF8`, `-Duser.country=US`, `-Duser.language=en`, `-Duser.timezone=GMT`, and `-Xmx4096m`.	LPD-59502
Database Upgrade Tool: Input Validation	The interactive upgrade tool setup now validates multiple fields to catch potential problems before the upgrade starts. It validates directory paths, as well as the database hostname and port (for valid values that can be resolved via the DNS).	LPD-59502
Data Cleanup and Removal	Data and module cleanup actions are now executed manually on-demand, via Server Administration → Resources* → System Cleanup Actions. Previously, these automatically ran during Liferay DXP upgrades, from configurations in System Settings → Upgrades → Data Cleanup/Data Removal. Those configurations are removed in favor of the manual experience in Server Administration.	LPD-62053
Editing Pages During Publication Review	The Edit and Edit in P1 actions in the Publications review screen now redirect to the appropriate editing experience depending on the page type: the Page Builder interface for content pages, the page editing interface for widget/portlet pages, the template editor for page templates, and a configuration screen for non-content pages (i.e., a panel, a URL, a page set, an embedded page, or a link to a page). This change smooths out the experience of making small changes during review.	LPD-68255
Elasticsearch 7	Elasticsearch 7 has reached its end-of-life, and it is no longer a supported search engine for Liferay. Liferay DXP 2026.Q1 ships with a native Elasticsearch 8 connector as the default bundled integration, so you can continue to use Liferay with Elasticsearch 8.19. If you are still using Elasticsearch 7, you must upgrade your Elastic stack to 8.19 before upgrading Liferay to 2026.Q1.	LPD-66887
Liferay Developer Studio: Liferay IDE AlloyUI	In the upcoming LDS release, development tooling for the AlloyUI framework will be removed. You can use the Web Tools Platform to provide similar functionality, though you must configure it to enable auto-complete and syntax highlighting for AlloyUI. You can also use third-party plugins on the Eclipse Marketplace with robust JavaScript support, using the tag metadata here. If needed, you can still keep your current LDS version until you complete your ongoing AlloyUI-related tasks.	LPD-74745
Liferay Developer Studio: Liferay Upgrade Planner	In the upcoming LDS release, the Liferay Upgrade Planner (for migrating cold from older versions of Liferay) will be removed. Instead, see the reference on Liferay Learn for breaking changes and deprecations, and use the `upgradeSourceCode` Blade command to help automate code migrations. If needed, you can still keep your current LDS version until you complete your ongoing code migration tasks.	LPD-74745
Liferay Developer Studio: XML Search	In the upcoming LDS release, the XPath-based search tab in the Search menu will be removed. If you need XPath-based search functionality for XML files, you can find third-party plugins on the Eclipse Marketplace.	LPD-74745
MCP Server SSE Transport	SSE is deprecated, so SSE transport is no longer supported for MCP servers. MCP server configurations now use `StreamableHTTTP` instead.	LPD-78158
Site Template Propagation	Site template propagation is no longer available. If you make changes to your site template, you must manually propagate the changes to sites based on it.	LPD-15134
Tomcat Directory Name	The tomcat directory’s name in `app-server.properties` is changed to `tomcat` (removing the version number). This reduces the need to adjust properties during DXP upgrades.	LPD-59502

Date: Dec. 13, 2025
Ticket: LPD-71333
What changed: The new getServletContextName method is added.
Reason: This method is needed to store and retrieve the servlet context name, to check whether the module to clean up is present. Originally, this was done before creating the DataCleanup object, but delaying it improves server startup performance.

rest-openapi.yaml modules/apps/headless/headless-admin-site/headless-admin-site-impl/rest-openapi.yaml

Date: Dec. 13, 2026
Ticket: LPD-72250
What changed: The FragmentStyle object is removed, instead included in the FragmentViewport.FragmentViewportStyle array.
Reason: The distinction between FragmentStyle and FragmentViewportStyle is unnecessary, because the desktop viewport is considered the same as any other viewport.

CPDefinitionFinderImpl.java modules/apps/commerce/commerce-product-service/src/main/java/com/liferay/commerce/product/service/persistence/impl/CPDefinitionFinderImpl.java

Date: Dec. 16, 2025
Ticket: LPD-74231
What changed: The CPDefinitionFinderImpl class is removed. Instead, use CPDefinitionLocalService.
Reason: The implementation logic for finding an expired CPDefinition is refactored into CPDefinitionLocalServiceImpl and now uses a DSL query. The old, custom SQL implementation is no longer needed. The other methods were no longer used, so they have no direct replacement.

frontend-data-set.tld modules/apps/frontend-data-set/frontend-data-set-taglib/src/main/resources/META-INF/frontend-data-set.tld

Date: Dec. 17, 2025
Ticket: LPD-9465
What changed: The customViewsEnabled attribute is replaced by the snapshotsEnabled attribute.
Reason: This change prevents confusion by clarifying this feature’s name, because custom and system data sets already exist.

S3Store.java modules/apps/portal-store/portal-store-s3/src/main/java/com/liferay/portal/store/s3/S3Store.java

Date: Dec. 17, 2025
Ticket: LPD-72206
What changed: The proxy settings configuration logic no longer sets ntlmProxyDomain or ntlmProxyWorkstation. Additionally, the activate method’s logic no longer configures a signer override or connection protocol. The default and recommended signer type to use is now SigV4 (i.e., AwsV4HttpSigner). When the S3 store is configured to use an endpoint via the s3Endpoint configuration property, use the s3Endpoint value to specify the connection protocol.
Reason: With AWS SDK v2, the S3Store uses an asynchronous HTTP client that doesn’t support NTLM configuration. Additionally, NTLM is considered a deprecated authentication protocol and will be removed (see LPD-9462). Signers supported in AWS SDK v1 are no longer supported in v2; AWS considers overriding the signer as an advanced configuration that should only be done if necessary. With AWS SDK v2, there is no direct equivalent for the ‘connectionProtocol’ property.

ExpandoBridgeIndexer.java modules/apps/portal-search/portal-search-api/src/main/java/com/liferay/portal/search/expando/ExpandoBridgeIndexer.java

Date: Dec. 18, 2025
Ticket: LPD-74740
What changed: The encodeFieldName and getNumericSuffix methods are moved into ExpandoBridgeUtil. Additionally, the addAttributes method now has a BaseModel parameter.
Reason: This change enforces consistent code organization standards. The moved methods are utility methods that aren’t tied to the ExpandoBridgeIndexer’s state.

Date: Dec. 18, 2025
Ticket: LPD-74740
What changed: The getEntityFields method’s ExpandoBridgeIndexer parameter is removed.
Reason: This parameter is no longer used.

ExpandoBridgeRetriever.java modules/apps/portal-search/portal-search-spi/src/main/java/com/liferay/portal/search/spi/model/index/contributor/ExpandoBridgeRetriever.java

Date: Dec. 18, 2025
Ticket: LPD-74740
What changed: The ExpandoBridgeRetriever class is removed.
Reason: The adaptation logic from DLFileEntry to DLFileVersion is already handled by DLFileEntryImpl#getExpandoBridge, so this interface is no longer needed.

DLFileEntryExpandoBridgeRetriever.java modules/apps/document-library/document-library-service/src/main/java/com/liferay/document/library/internal/search/DLFileEntryExpandoBridgeRetriever.java

Date: Dec. 18, 2025
Ticket: LPD-74740
What changed: The DLFileEntryExpandoBridgeRetriever class is removed.
Reason: The adaptation logic from DLFileEntry to DLFileVersion is already handled by DLFileEntryImpl#getExpandoBridge, so this class is no longer needed.

Date: Dec. 23, 2025
Ticket: LPD-74428
What changed: The FORMAT_SOURCE_UPGRADE_TASK_NAME value is renamed to UPGRADE_CODE_TASK_NAME.
Reason: This change reflects the task’s name changing from formatSourceUpgrade to upgradeCode.

LayoutStructureRulesHelper.java modules/apps/layout/layout-api/src/main/java/com/liferay/layout/helper/structure/LayoutStructureRulesHelper.java

Date: Dec. 23, 2025
Ticket: LPD-74698
What changed: The processLayoutStructureRules(long, LayoutStructure, PermissionChecker, long[]) has new InfoItemFIeldValues and Locale parameters.
Reason: This change is needed to support advanced rules.

SystemFDSEntry.java modules/apps/frontend-data-set/frontend-data-set-api/src/main/java/com/liferay/frontend/data/set/SystemFDSEntry.java

Date: Dec. 23, 2025
Ticket: LPD-74816
What changed: The new getSnapshotsEnabled method is added.
Reason: This method is needed to retrieve the serialized value of the snapshotsEnabled property.

DLURLHelper.java modules/apps/document-library/document-library-api/src/main/java/com/liferay/document/library/util/DLURLHelper.java

Date: Jan. 12, 2026
Ticket: LPD-72635
What changed: The new getPreviewURL(String fileEntryFriendlyURL, String groupFriendlyURL) method is added.
Reason: This method is needed to calculate preview URLs for files using a the friendly URL of the file entry and group. Imports are still able to complete even if the file entry doesn’t exist.

Reason: This change simplifies calling these methods.

TaskResource.java modules/dxp/apps/ai-hub/ai-hub-rest-api/src/main/java/com/liferay/ai/hub/rest/resource/v1_0/TaskResource.java

Date: Jan. 16, 2026
Ticket: LPD-69638
What changed: The postByExternalReferenceCodeTask(String, Task) method has its String (external reference code) parameter removed.
Reason: This change enforces code clarity. The parameter passed to this method was an SSE event sink key, not an external reference code.

Task.java modules/dxp/apps/ai-hub/ai-hub-rest-api/src/main/java/com/liferay/ai/hub/rest/dto/v1_0/Task.java

Date: Jan. 16, 2026
Ticket: LPD-69638
What changed: The new sseEventSinkKey field is added, along with corresponding getter and setter methods.
Reason: This change was made to pass the SSE event sink key in the request body, because it’s not in the request parameter anymore.

DefaultObjectEntryManager.java modules/apps/object/object-rest-api/src/main/java/com/liferay/object/rest/manager/v1_0/DefaultObjectEntryManager.java

Date: Jan. 16, 2026
Ticket: LPD-75084
What changed: The expireObjectEntry(DTOConverterContext, long) method is removed. Its logic is refactored into expireObjectEntry(DTOConverterContext, String, ObjectDefinition, String).
Reason: This change enforces exposing object entry external reference codes instead of their IDs.

ObjectEntryResource.java modules/apps/object/object-rest-api/src/main/java/com/liferay/object/rest/resource/v1_0/ObjectEntryResource.java

Date: Jan. 16, 2026
Ticket: LPD-75084

Date: Feb. 4, 2026
Ticket: LPD-78273
What changed: The MoreLikeThisQuery constructor’s companyId parameter is replaced with an indexName parameter.
Reason: When the MoreLikeThisQuery is executed, the company ID is converted to an index name, so it’s better to accept it as a parameter beforehand.

QueryTranslator.java portal-kernel/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/search/query/QueryTranslator.java

Date: Feb. 10, 2026
Ticket: LPD-78663
