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-ga34

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

Account Restriction

Having the ownership defined by account means that only users with access to that account can access its data. This can happen via users that belong to those accounts or managers of the accounts through Liferay Organizations related to that specific account.

Experience Building

 

Addition of CSS classes to fragments from the Page Editor

Friendly URLs for documents

Now users can define a friendlyURL to access a document, making it easier to identify. If not set by the user, the system will automatically fill it with the information from the document title.

Additionally, now documents embedded in other entities, such as pages, web content, etc, will use this friendlyURL to store the links. This friendlyURL share capabilities from other entities such as history of friendlyURLs so users that bookmarked the old url will be redirected to the new one. This also applies to your content, so now if you change the friendlyURL, title or filename of a document, the content that was referencing to this document will continue to display correctly the embedded assets.

Display page templates taking into account the history of friendlyURLs

Now users can define a friendlyURL to access a document, making it easier to identify. If not set by the user, the system will automatically fill it with the information from the document title.

Additionally to adding friendlyURLs to documents, the display page template framework has been improved to take into account the history of friendlyURLs, so users accessing a display page for a document with an old friendlyURL will be redirected to the document with the latest friendlyURL

Simplifying the DB modification developments during the upgrade

When a column needs to be added, dropped or modified or a new table has to be created for an existing service builder module, this new API provides the tools to carry those operations out in the easiest way (without the need of executing buildUpgradeTable command anymore). BuildUpgradeTable is now intended to be used only for creating new tables.
