Liferay launches v4 with new features, but same weaknesses

Last week saw the release of version 4 of the open source Liferay portal. This major new release introduces improved security, enterprise taxonomy, velocity template support, JSR-170 compliance, theme (a.k.a. skin) enhancements, and more documentation. As Enterprise Portal Report readers know, Liferay is comparatively weaker in clustering, personalization, and WebDAV support. Unfortunately these areas were not addressed by the new release.
