Hi everyone, As I continue to get my feet well under the Community table, I'm trying to make liferay.dev a more engaging and generally more useful experience for you all. As of right now (like, a minute OK), I've launched a new experience for Blogs. This consists of two major changes: The Blogs listing page (liferay.dev/blogs) is now a Search Results page, rather...

I’m excited to share some great news: the Liferay DXP Bug Bounty Program is now open to the public! My colleague and friend Zsolt Balogh announced this recently, and I couldn’t agree more about how important this step is for our community. We’ve run a private program for a few years, but like many closed initiatives, the flow of new discoveries slowed over time. By going...

As I said a couple of weeks ago, Ask has played a hugely valuable role over the years but it's time has come. As of today I'm really excited to announce that the replacement to ask is now live - please let me introduce you to discuss.liferay.com!

Hi everyone! Firstly, a quick introduction from me - as I've just moved into the brand-new role of Principal Evangelist. You'll be hearing a lot more from me as I really get going with this role - so I won't reveal all just yet - suffice to say for now that Liferay is leaning into the Community in a big way, something that we've not done for a while now... The...

A real quick one today so everyone is aware. The next releases of Liferay, DXP 2025.Q1 and CE GA 134, will be built using JDK 17. This means that JDKs 8 and 11 will not be an option at all. You'll get class version exceptions at startup if you try using the JDK8 or JDK11 runtimes. The only option is going to be using the JDK17 or JDK21 runtimes. This will apply to...
