Original Title: Plane v0.23 – Our Biggest Release Yet! 🆕 Introducing new Pages, Issue Intake, Inbox for Notifications, Performance Improvements, Real-Time Features, and much more. Self-hosted project management, deploys via Docker, or K8s.

GitHub:

Hi self-hosters,

This is Vihar from Plane, back after a month to share the big and the small with the latest for our Community Edition, but before we dive into that, let me head off a couple comments from the community here and in other destinations.

For folks who are seeing updates from us for the first time, Plane is simple, flexible, and extensible project management software. It has now come a long way since its inception almost two years ago and stands at parity with popular alternatives. Plane is available on mobile and desktop apps and can be self-hosted via Docker and K8s.

We’ve heard from folks that many of our essential features are locked behind paywalls. That, I can assure you, is not the case. We have carefully done our comparisons with the Free tiers of popular alternatives that have come up in comments and conversations and we are at least 40% more feature-rich on our Free tiers on all editions than any of them. That is factually true and I am happy to show those differences should someone be interested. DM, me. Conversely, we are also human and we may have missed out on a popular alternative. Enlighten us to their plans and show us how they are better.

In a global economic slowdown, while many companies are scaling back or shutting down, we’re doubling down on our open-source commitment. We’re delivering more features and updates to our Community Edition, which is trusted by large organizations in finance, education, and government with workspaces hosting over 500+ users. Our paid plans are designed to sustain us, enabling continued support for the Community Edition and providing even better tools to help you make progress.

Try the latest update for yourself and let us know what we can do better, create, and fix. Despite perceptions, we are listening.

Now, onto the banger of a release that brings real-time collab to Pages, a silck new sidebar, and a new Favorites section for easy nav to all your favorite destinations in Plane.

IMPORTANT! When upgrading to v0.23, make sure you are using the latest version of our Docker Compose. If you are on a custom Docker set-up, you’ll need RabbitMQ with .env variables specified.

Huge Pages update packing quite a few things you asked for

This update to Pages also starts us on real-time collab throughout the product.

• Real-time edits: Several members can now edit a page together without losing any change anyone made.
• Version history: Every automatic save on a page now goes to Version history. Go back in time and restore a version from the last 20 edits.
• Colors: Select text and change text or background colors.
• Bulk image uploads: Drag and drop several images together on to a page.
• Toggle page visibility: Switch between Public and Private pages anytime.
• Page info: See character count, reading time, paragraphs, and more.
• Page exports: Download your page as a PDF or Markdown file.
• Full-screen image view: Click an icon to the top-right of the image and save yourself three clicks + a browser tab just to get a bigger view.
• Improved drag handles and a far smoother drag experience: Drag. Drop. Or—and this is the big change—scroll past the page’s top and bottom margins without a hitch.

Images on Pages can be now viewed in full screen.

Real-time and version history support on Pages.

Inbox is now Intake and Notifications is now the new Inbox.

While significant, It’s not just a terms change. The new Inbox stacks up your notifications chronologically, shows you a Mentions tab, and lets you filter by anything you could wish for.

Intake also gets a glow-up with better Accept and Discard flows and a preview pane for each issue to let you quickly scan its content.

Mark projects, cycles, and modules as favorites, and organize them in folders the way you want.

Simpler roles

In line with your requests, Guests can no longer create issues in projects or edit existing issues. They can create Intake issues and see them through until they are closed.

Viewers, the role, now rolls up into Guests with an optional toggle that lets them view all issues in a project.

Admins of any kind can now edit other Admins’ roles at their level only. Meaning, a project’s admin can’t change a workspace admin’s role unless the project admin is also a workspace admin.

setup.sh for MacOS support

setup.sh now runs works on macOS and how!
