What’s New in Liferay Portal Version 6.1
Liferay released version 6.1 of its Community Edition in early January. Now, little over a month later, Liferay is releasing the Enterprise Edition. The release fixes several defects and introduces some impressive new features that make using the portal more efficient. Many of the new features are targeted at non-technical end users. These users can now create workflows, forms and custom data lists to support their business processes without involving a developer.
The platform also includes several improvements that make it easier for users to collaboratively edit content and personalize their portal experience such as:
- User Customizable Sites: Administrators can now designate certain pages and sections of a page to be personalized by users.
- Multiple Website Versions: Multiple site versions can be edited simultaneously and scheduled for publication.
- Affiliated Sites Management: Liferay pages and websites maintain links to their original site templates, making it easier to propagate changes to associated sites and pages.
The latest release also introduces drag and drop document and media libraries and file previews that allow user to preview content before downloading it.
