 * **Unit Testing**
 
+  - Added support for test hierarchies (nested test suites) (`issue #4135 <https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/issues/4135>`_)
   - Provide more information when the native program crashed on a host (errored with a negative return code) (`issue #3429 <https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/issues/3429>`_)
   - Fixed an issue when command line parameters ("--ignore", "--filter") do not override values defined in the |PIOCONF| (`issue #3845 <https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/issues/3845>`_)
