-## 7-dev (TBD)
+## 7.0.0-dev (TBD)
 * add [#1009](https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js/issues/1009) Create sub-grids on the fly,
 by dragging items completely over others (nest) vs partially (push) using new flag `GridStackOptions.subGridDynamic=true`.
 Thank you [StephanP] for sponsoring it.<br>
 See [advance Nested](https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js/blob/master/demo/nested_advanced.html)
 * add - ability to pause drag&drop collision until the user stops moving - see `DDDragOpt.pause` (used for creating nested grids on the fly based on gesture).
+* add [#1943](https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js/issues/1943) you cna now drag sub-grids into other sub-grids
 
 ## 6.0.3-dev (2022-10-08)
 * fixed [#2055](https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js/issues/2055) maxRow=1 resize outside (broke in 6.0.1)
