/html/portal/css.jsp has been split into multiple files for easier customization
The file /html/portal/css_uniform.jsp has been moved to /html/portal/css/portal/uniform.jspf. If this file has been customized and /html/portal/css.jsp has not been customized, this file must be renamed.
Grammar mistake in custom CSS instructions
The language key "insert-custom-css-that-will-loaded-after-the-theme" has been changed to "insert-custom-css-that-will-be-loaded-after-the-theme". Custom code that uses the old language key should update to the new language key.
All portlets in a community is viewable regardless of permission
This update may cause some portlets which sets "add-default-resource" in liferay-portlet.xml to true to no longer work. To revert to the old behavior, set the following in portal(-ext).properties:
portlet.add.default.resource.check.enabled=false
Added CAS authentication by email address
This improvement may cause existing CAS authentication to stop working if the following appears in portal(-ext).properties:
company.security.auth.type=emailAddress
or if "How do users authenticate?" in the Control Panel's (Enterprise Admin portlet in 5.1 EE) settings section is set to "By Email Address". These settings were previously ignored when CAS is used. To ensure CAS continues to work correctly, please remove company.security.auth.type from portal(-ext).properties and set "How do users authenticate?" to "By Screen Name".
Redirect url attributes are not handled properly in windows
The following properties has been removed from portal(-ext).properties:
referer.url.security.mode
referer.url.domains.allowed
referer.url.ips.allowed
Please use the following properties instead:
redirect.url.security.mode
redirect.url.domains.allowed
redirect.url.ips.allowed
Moved ThemePreviewFilter's package to follow naming pattern
As a part of this update, in portal.properties,
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.theme.ThemePreviewFilter
has been renamed to
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.themepreview.ThemePreviewFilter
If you are using this property in your portal(-ext).properties file, you must update the property to enable theme preview.
Added a separate channel for ClusterLink control
The portal properties
cluster.link.channel.properties.X
has been renamed to
cluster.link.channel.properties.transport.X
For example, cluster.link.channel.properties.0 has been renamed to cluster.link.channel.properties.transport.0. If these properties has been set in portal(-ext).properties, they must be renamed or else cluster link may not work correctly.
Removed support for Friki
The Friki wiki engine has been removed and the friki.jar is no longer distributed with Liferay portal.
Service Builder generated soap services do not return primitive arrays
To fix this bug in the extension environment, Service Builder must be run again and the extension environment must be redeployed.
