v0.12-dev

We have just published our August updates, and a day later, we are excited to introduce our latest release, Plane v0.12-dev. This release is packed with power, taking Plane Deploy to a whole new level. But that's not all; there's more to it, including time zone enhancements, improved Gantt charts, table support for our issue detail-rich text editor, and much more. Dig in to learn more.

New Features

🌠 Face-lift to Plane Deploy

We’ve made some significant upgrades to Plane Deploy, with the goal of making customer feedback process smoother and faster. Here are the upgrades ⬇️

• Commenting on Public Boards: When your boards are made public with commenting enabled, external users can start adding comments to the issues.

  Note that, users need to sign in on the boards in order to comment. Also, when these users add comments they’ll not be added as the project members but instead added as contributors to your project.

• Upvotes and Downvotes: Contributors who have logged in to your public board can also upvote or downvote issues to help prioritize tasks within your project.

• View Issues with Peek-Overview: Users or contributors can now view issue details on your public boards using a "peek-overview" mode. Please note that not all information will be visible. The attributes that can be seen are as follows: Title, Description, Priority, Due Date, Public Comments, Upvotes/Downvotes, and Reactions.

• Reactions: Just like upvotes, users can react with emoji’s.

• A new sidebar to spot issues quickly.
• Left and right navigators to jump to an issue that’s out of timeline.

👀 Peek overviews for Spreadsheet layout

We've introduced a new feature, Peek Overview, which provides a quick look at your issues. This view is compatible with the spreadsheet layout and is also available for deployed public projects.

• Occupies half of your screen, providing you with a view of activity related to other issues.
• Allows users to edit issues directly within the Peek Overview, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple pages.
• Fast and highly responsive.

🕝 Better comms with Timezones

With the integration of time zones, all activities on Planes are now more accurately recorded. Update your time zone settings in your user profile to enhance communication with your project members.

• Local time can be displayed based on the time zone set in user profiles.
• Activities related to issues are logged according to the time zone specified by the user.

(#2002, #2009, #2089)

🚀 New attribute to Issues: start date

You can now add a start date to issues, facilitating better planning and estimation. This addition also aids in filtering and sorting issues.

• Helps view your issues based on timelines on the gantt layout.
• Filter or order issues based on the start-date attribute.
• [coming-soon] notifications for issues based on start-date.

(#1813, #1955, #2007)

😉 Tables on the Text

In our previous release, we unveiled a comprehensive revamp of our Rich Text Editor for issue details. Expanding on that, we now offer the ability to include tables within those details.

• Generate tables using slash commands.
• Add or remove rows and columns with ease.
• Supports adding headers for better column identification.
