The Xray team is proud to announce the release of **Xray 3.0.0**.

Xray v3.0 introduces hierarchical test organization both at the project level (via the [Test Repository](https://confluence.xpand-addons.com/display/XRAY30/Overview+of+the+Test+Repository)<span style="color: #000000">[)](https://confluence.xpand-addons.com/display/XRAY30/Overview+of+the+Test+Repository)</span> and at Test Plan level (via the [Test Plan Board](https://getxraydocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/XRAY/pages/301405051)). It can be enabled or disabled, and works alongside existing entities, including Test Sets.
