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-ga25

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

Features

Commerce

Add to Card button to better handle constraints

The quantity selector will have a "danger status" when the quantity is not valid for an order. A popup will show the unsatisfied constrains where minimum quantity is required. The quantity selector will be on focus, which together provides a better user experience for the buyer in guidance on next steps.

Experience Building

Search for Widget Pages

Now users can search for widget pages using the search widget. The widget pages content is not indexed, but so it does its title and categories. This way widget pages are also retrieved as search results.

Objects

Upload files to a specific folder in Doc and Media

Now admin users can also manage files collectively and define a specific path to store the files uploaded for objects directly from the end-user computer. This folder will be available on Documents & Medias and can be accessed by the allowed users.
Additionally, admin users still have the possibility to configure the file type and size allowed for the object.
