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:
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-ga77
When using an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ all apis are
immediately available in autocomplete for immediate use.
Features
Experience Management
Page Builder support for displaying
Object Relationships
Now, when creating pages and display pages to visualize
object entries, users can easily display related object entries. To
enable this, we have added:
In a one-to-many or
many-to-many object relationships scenario, new
Related Item
collection providers to access information of the
“many” side of a one-to-many and many-to-many relationships.
Example: A Countries object, and a related “cities” object for
cities in those countries. This new capability allows to
easily list the cities that belong to a country, and
other data from each city, via a related item
collection provider.
In a one-to-many
object relationship, if we are listing or displaying the
items of the “many” side, information of the “one” side is
available for direct mapping as well. Example: a “Countries”
object, and a related object for cities in those countries.
When
listing the cities,
this new capability allows to easily display the country
each city belongs to.
Attachment field
attributes (such as download URL, of file size) are now available
for direct mapping.
(please see related Confluence
Page for additional info and demo video).
Deletion of property
upgrade.log.context.name. Now all upgrade related log
lines are tagged with the key upgrade.component
automatically, which provides more meaningful information.
Upgrade Report is now
compatible also with upgrade on startup, and it can be printed as
Log Thread Context information.
Upgrades log the result and the
type of upgrade that has taken place after all the upgrade
processes finish.
New mBean available with upgrade on
startup to obtain real time information about the status and the
result of the upgrade.
All documentation for Liferay Portal and Liferay Commerce can
now be found on our documentation site: learn.liferay.com. For more information
on upgrading to Liferay Portal 7.4 GA77 see refer to the Upgrade Overview.
