Dependency Management

For development using the Liferay Platform, update Liferay Workspace to use the  latest dependencies, by adding the following line to the build.gradle file:

dependencies {
	compileOnly group: "com.liferay.portal", name: "release.portal.api"
}

All portal dependencies are now defined with a single declaration. When using an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ all apis are immediately available in autocomplete for immediate use.  

By setting a product info key property it will be possible to update all dependencies to a new version by updating the liferay.workspace.product property in the liferay workspace projects gradle.property file:

liferay.workspace.product = portal-7.4-ga24

When using an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ all apis are immediately available in autocomplete for immediate use.

Features

Objects

Limiting the number of characters of text and long text fields

Now, power users can limit the number of characters that end users can in a field. This will be very useful when customers  need to add length validation to avoid very long text fields or to fit some business rules.

Audit Objects Modifications

Now admin users are able to track modifications in Objects. This will allow users to track each change in an Object, which can be a new entry, a field update, a new custom view creation, or even a deleted field (before the publication).
