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-ga61

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

Features

Experience Building

Easier mapping of dates with the new editable of type date-time

With the new editable of type date-time, mapping and correctly formatting dates inside a fragment just became straightforward. Now, fragment developers can easily add the possibility to map dates, and content creators will have it easier than ever to format them correctly.

Better management of dropzones with dropzone IDs

Now fragment developers can use the new data-lfr-drop-zone-id for dropzones, to keep the fragments added related to a specific dropzone, even if new dropzones are added later on. Before, this was not happening and fragments were placed in dropzones based on the dropzones order in the layout, preventing users from adding new dropzones in between two already existing dropzones.
