Bundles and other download options

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-ga55

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

Features

Commerce

Create new accounts directly from the Account Selector when creating a new order

This new feature allows the Sales Agent create a new Account “in-flow” when creating a new Order. User no longer has to navigate away from the page they are working on to create a new account first. It speeds up drastically the Sales Agent’s order creation process for new Accounts.

Objects

New Objects Action Trigger (On Download)

Customers are now able to create actions to be triggered when the user download a file attached to an Object entry.

Publications

Having Publication support in headless apis

Our headless apis previously did not support publications.  This is exacerbated by the issue that the UI elements sometimes leverage these APIs to perform actions.  The users think they are in a publication but the action is performed in production.

From now our headless apis will support publications.
