We are back on pace, introducing v0.18-dev, which will make you fall in love with Plane more and more. Improvements to Pages, a refreshed Kanban layout, scripts for instance admins on self-hosted instances, and much more. Plus, enhanced performance!

Features

A whole new experience on Plane Pages

We've enhanced Pages to be more beautiful, smooth, and intuitive in a single update. #4090, #4198.

• We've improved the typography—line-heights, margins, paddings, font weights, and sizes; headings; paragraphs; and more—for better readability and consistency.
• Tables as a feature—we've improved our tables with a new UI, row and column configuration, added scrollbars, and more.
• Face-lift to code-blocks—improved paddings, disabled slash commands, decreased tab indentation from 4 to 2, and added an option to copy the contents of code-blocks with a click.
• Support for dark mode—we've improved the colors in dark mode, including code colors, inline code colors, and font colors.
• Auto-merging of lists—ordered and unordered list items, including nested list items, now support auto-merging at every transaction. Tab indentation on lists functions as intended, even after merging two lists.
• Block-based editing—You can now drag and drop content blocks; just hover over a block and rearrange them based on your preferences.

New Kanban experience

https://github.com/makeplane/plane/assets/9498163/6e62c9d9-33c8-481d-9fce-bbbadaa76744

We've refactored our whole Kanban experience. #4189

• Enjoy quicker and more responsive interactions when dragging and dropping cards.
• We've improved both horizontal and vertical scrolling within the Kanban boards. Now, moving cards across different sections is more fluid.
• Each column now supports independent scrolling. This update allows you to navigate large boards with ease.

Create Instance Admin with a script

You can now add a script that you can use to create a new instance admin via the command line. Go to your backend shell and use the command: python manage.py create_instance_admin <email>. #4210

Improvements

• Lists and kanban cards are completely clickable, to navigate inside the issue detail. #4175, #4093
• We've improved the empty states for various pages across Plane to enhance clarity and education. #4145, #4202
• Bring existing issues onto the Calendar layout from the 'Add' icon on the calendar block. #4094
• Inbox now supports issue attachments. #4190

Fixes

• Fixed a data issue with the cycles dropdown on the Issue Create Modal. #4076
• Archived Cycles and Modules, now show analytics. #4191
• Fixed an issue where the API expiry date was always being set to null. It is now set to the assigned time. #4165.
• You can now comment with just people mentions. #4163
• Removed archived cycles and modules from the workspace-level dropdown to streamline the list and eliminate unnecessary items. #4126
• Resolved an issue where navigating from a parent issue to a child issue and back sometimes retained the description of the previous issue. #4157, #4159, #4143
• Fixed UI issues when there are lengthy changes in the activity feed. #4106
