Announcements

Hey everyone :waving_hand:

A lot has shipped on the self-hosted side since our v2.4.0 Plane AI announcement. Rolling up v2.5.0, v2.5.1, and v2.5.2 into one post so you can upgrade with the full picture.

:sparkles: v2.5.0 — Project Labels, Columns in Pages & more (17 Mar)

The headline release of this cycle.

  • Columns in Pages — Pages now support multi-column layouts for richer doc and wiki structures.

  • Project Labels — Add workspace-level labels to projects and organize them by team, function, priority, or any structure that fits. Labels show up on Gallery cards, List blocks, Initiative items, and the project sidebar, and Board/List layouts can now group projects by label.

  • SSO for God Mode — Instance admins can sign in to God Mode via Keycloak OIDC, Keycloak SAML, and LDAP, alongside the existing email login.

  • Instance user management — A dedicated User Management section in Instance Admin to view and manage every user across your instance.

  • AWS Bedrock for Plane AI — Self-hosted instances can now connect custom LLMs through AWS Bedrock in addition to OpenAI-compatible APIs. Two new env vars control this: CUSTOM_LLM_PROVIDER (openai or bedrock) and CUSTOM_LLM_AWS_REGION.

:hammer_and_wrench: Patches on top of v2.5.0 (v2.5.1 · 24 Mar and v2.5.2 · 31 Mar)

  • Swagger UI & OpenAPI spec on self-hosted — Enable Swagger UI directly on your instance and download the OpenAPI spec for your own tooling.

  • Confluence import, leveled up — Point the importer at an S3 URL instead of uploading a ZIP (much nicer for large migrations), and when you do upload, the ZIP size limit is higher.

  • Broader embedding model support for Plane AI — Embedding dimensions are now configurable, so you can plug in a wider set of embedding models.

  • Editor ZIP uploads — The editor now accepts ZIP file attachments.

  • Fixes worth calling out: paid-plan seat count when members are imported via CSV, SSR metadata on published pages/projects for Docker AIO deployments, LaTeX equation rendering, and Initiative epic count showing 0.

:inbox_tray: To upgrade: follow the usual flow here → https://developers.plane.so/self-hosting/manage/upgrade-plane. If you’re enabling Bedrock or tweaking embeddings, double-check your plane.env against variables-upgrade.env for the new variables.

Hit reply if anything breaks or feels off — we’re listening.
