🏊‍♀️ Introducing sub-groups in Kanban | #2262

With sub-groups on the Kanban layout, you can now group issues along two dimensions horizontally and vertically in three clicks.

Say, you want to group by states—Backlog, To-do , In-progress and so on—, but you also want to group by Assignee. Just group by States under Display, sub-group by Assignee, and done. You now have States vertically and Assignee horizontally.

📄 Write notes, docs, or a whole knowledge base with Pages | #2784

Pages are now armed to support all your writing needs.

• They now look like, well, a page. Bye, bye, blocks.
• All major formatting options are now supported. Use a title, then a head, then a sub-head, and so on. Format your pages like you see fit.
• A table of contents now makes navigating within a page easy.
• / brings up useful components that add that little extra you need to make your docs, knowledge base, or note presentable.
• You can lock pages for edits—cool when you are publishing a knowledge base for your project—or turn it private when you aren’t ready to showcase just yet.

🧏 @mention your team in issues and comments | #2358, #2544

Our upgraded editor experience now translates to two delights.

• For everyone using Plane, you can now @mention anyone in your team in issues and comments.

• Others @mentions show up in blue while yours show up in orange. #LittleBigDelights

• You can filter by mentions with names under Filters.

• For self-hosters, this works out of the box. No Tiptap libraries, no downloading extensions, no jumping through hoops.

  How did we do it?

  We took what you got with Tiptap and baked it into our editors. Thank you, Tiptap, for being open source.
