We are happy to announce the availability of Liferay Portal CE 7.3 GA1. This is the first rolling release (announcement about this new release strategy coming soon) for the 7.3 series.

As we near the first GA of 7.3, one change we've managed to make was to migrate off Soy + Metal.js and fully onto React.js.

Participate in an Open Source project? Meaning ... do what exactly? The trouble with that phrase is that everyone puts their own meaning in it. Some will claim it’s not participation unless you write code. Others will claim that’s actually “contributing” (which IMHO is not less ambiguous word) and everything else is participation. For us, it’s simple - whatever you do to make our...

As expected (we wrote the redirect rules after all) and confirmed by our access logs, the documentation was the first place you discovered in the new Liferay Portal website. But did you notice what has changed apart from the URL? New documentation structure  The 7.2 developer docs are now organized in a new way - grouped by tasks you as developer may have:  ...

Have you been asked “What is Liferay Portal?” or “Why are you using it?” or similar questions? Given all the things it actually is and does, it is sometimes hard to find a simple and accurate answer! So we thought we would provide one for you: It’s The Java Platform for Busy Developers   At least, that is what we believe it is and we are working hard to make it easier...

It’s been almost two months now and most of you have probably managed to get used to the new websites and domain names. We invested a lot of time into making the right redirects and to not break your browsing habits. Given the very few issues reported it seems we succeeded. That said, you may have been focused only on the things relevant to you at the moment and missed the big...

The ultimate goal of this vision is to empower non-technical users to create stunning websites. To achieve that goal, we envisioned the role of the marketer and business users as specific personas...

I know some of you have been disappointed by my last post about discontinuing the Liferay 7.2 Community Beta Program. I understand. It was also hard for us to let it go. But I do believe there is much better way to have an open discussion with you other than setting time constraints and strict rules. As you all know, Liferay Portal CE is an Open Source product developed in...

Overview As many of you know, we announced that we were going to start the 7.2 Community Beta Program with the release of 7.2 Alpha 1.  Since then we have come to the conclusion that bug reporting and providing feedback should be a continuous engagement and not be limited to a program with a short life span.  With the newly compressed release cycle we found that we were...
