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-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).

Core Upgrades

Improvements on the Upgrade logging
​​​​​​​

• 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.
