|
|
|
+*** New keyword search agenda view
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ `C-c a s' now invokes a special agenda view that can be used
|
|
|
+ to search notes by keyword and regular expressions. In
|
|
|
+ particular, it does not require a single regular expression
|
|
|
+ or string to search for, but it can search for a number
|
|
|
+ keywords or regexps that can occur in arbitrary sequence in
|
|
|
+ the entry. The search knows the boundaries of an entry, can
|
|
|
+ use simple Boolean logic and is reasonably fast. For
|
|
|
+ example, the search string
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : +computer +wifi -ethernet -{8\.11[bg]}
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ will search for note entries that contain the keywords
|
|
|
+ =computer= and =wifi=, but not the keyword =ethernet=, and
|
|
|
+ which are also not matched by the regular expression
|
|
|
+ "8\.11[bg]", meaning to exclude both 8.11b and 8.11g. If the
|
|
|
+ first character of the search string is an asterisk, the
|
|
|
+ search will only look at headlines - otherwise it will look
|
|
|
+ at the headine and the text below it, up to the next
|
|
|
+ (possibly sub-) heading.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The command searches all agenda files, and in addition the
|
|
|
+ files listed in =org-agenda-text-search-extra-files=.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ I find it very useful to define a custom command to do such
|
|
|
+ a search only in a limited number of files (my notes files),
|
|
|
+ like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : ("N" "Search notes" search ""
|
|
|
+ : ((org-agenda-files '("~/org/notes.org" "~/org/computer.org"))
|
|
|
+ : (org-agenda-text-search-extra-files nil)))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Many new extensions available in the CONTRIB directory
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Phil Jackson's /org-irc.el/ is now part of the Org-mode
|
|
|
+ core, which means it will become part of Emacs soon.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The new development model already starts to pay off, a
|
|
|
+ number of interesting extensions are now part of the
|
|
|
+ distribution. Check the file CONTRIB/README for a list.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - There is a new variable `org-default-extensions'.
|
|
|
+ Configuring this variable makes it *very* easy to load
|
|
|
+ these default extensions - eventually this will be expanded
|
|
|
+ to cover contributed extensions as well.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** New remember template option: pre-selection contexts
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Remember template definitions now allow six elements. The
|
|
|
+ last element defines the contexts in which the template
|
|
|
+ should be offered. It can be a list of major modes, a
|
|
|
+ function, =t= or =nil=. If it is a list of major-mode, the
|
|
|
+ template will be available only when =org-remember= is
|
|
|
+ called from a buffer in one of these modes. If it is a
|
|
|
+ function, the template will be offered only if the function
|
|
|
+ returns `t' when called in the current buffer. A value of
|
|
|
+ =t= or =nil= for this element means select this template in
|
|
|
+ any context.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ One possible application for this would be to have several
|
|
|
+ templates all using the same selection letter, and choosing
|
|
|
+ the right one based on context. For example, think of
|
|
|
+ tasks describing a bug in a source code file. With the
|
|
|
+ following configuration we make sure that the bug reports
|
|
|
+ are filed into the appropriate sections of the target file.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+: (setq org-remember-templates
|
|
|
+: '(("Elisp" ?b "* %a\n\n%i%?" "~/bugs.org" "Elisp bugs" (emacs-lisp-mode))
|
|
|
+: ("C Bugs" ?b "* %a\n\n%i%?" "~/bugs.org" "C bugs" (cc-mode))))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ See (info "(org)Remember templates") for details.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Modifying list/headline status of a line
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `C-c -' has now more functions:
|
|
|
+ + In a table, add a hline as before
|
|
|
+ + In an item list, cycle bullet type as before
|
|
|
+ + In a normal line, turn it into an item
|
|
|
+ + In a headline, turn it into an item
|
|
|
+ + If there is an active region, turn each line into an item.
|
|
|
+ But if the first region line is already an item, remove
|
|
|
+ item markers from all lines.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Based on proposals by Bastien.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `C-c *' has now more functions
|
|
|
+ + in a table, recompute, as before
|
|
|
+ + in a normal line, convert it to a sub heading.
|
|
|
+ + at an item, convert it into a subheading
|
|
|
+ + if there is an active region, convert all lines in the
|
|
|
+ region to headlines. However, if the first lie already is
|
|
|
+ a heading, remove the stars from all lines int he region.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Based on proposals by Bastien.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Changes related to time stamps
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The value variable =org-time-stamp-rounding-minutes= is now
|
|
|
+ a list of two values. The first applies when creating a new
|
|
|
+ time stamp. The second applies when modifying a timestamp
|
|
|
+ with S-up/down. The default for this new task is 5 minutes,
|
|
|
+ but 15 may also be a very good value for many people. If
|
|
|
+ S-up/down is used on a time stamp where the minute part is
|
|
|
+ not compatible with this granularity it will be made so.
|
|
|
+ You can bypass this by using a prefix argument to exactly
|
|
|
+ specify the number of minutes to shift.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This was a proposal by Adam Spiers.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New repeaters that shift a date relative to today, or that
|
|
|
+ make sure that the next date is in the future. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ :** TODO Call Father
|
|
|
+ : DEADLINE: <2008-02-10 Sun ++1w>
|
|
|
+ : Marking this DONE will shift the date by at least one week,
|
|
|
+ : but also by as many weeks as it takes to get this date into
|
|
|
+ : the future. However, it stays on a Sunday, even if you called
|
|
|
+ : and marked it done on Saturday.
|
|
|
+ :** TODO Check the batteries in the smoke detectors
|
|
|
+ : DEADLINE: <2005-11-01 Tue .+1m>
|
|
|
+ : Marking this DONE will shift the date to one month after
|
|
|
+ : today.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Proposed by Wanrong Lin and Rainer Stengle.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** New parameters for dynamic blocks ad the clock table
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - There is a new =:link= parameter for the clocktable. When
|
|
|
+ set, the headlines listed in the table will be links to the
|
|
|
+ original headlines.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - There is a new =:content= parameter that is passed to the
|
|
|
+ writer function of the dynamic block. Use this parameter
|
|
|
+ to pass the previous content of the block to the writer
|
|
|
+ function, in case you want to make the outcome dependent on
|
|
|
+ the previous content.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Limiting iCalendar export to fewer entries
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New way to limit iCalendar export to the entries captured in
|
|
|
+ an agenda view. This is done by "writing" the agenda view
|
|
|
+ using `C-x C-w' to a file with extension .ics.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This was a request by Kyle Sexton.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Misc
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Due to a popular revolt shortly after the 5.22 release,
|
|
|
+ =M-RET= can again be used to split a line so that the rest
|
|
|
+ of the line becomes the new heading. However, if you do
|
|
|
+ this in a heading containing tags, the tags will stay in the
|
|
|
+ old line.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Customize the variable =org-M-RET-may-split-line= if you
|
|
|
+ don't want this command to split a line in the middle. The
|
|
|
+ same variable also influences line splitting in items and in
|
|
|
+ tables.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - There are three new hooks:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ =org-follow-link-hook=: runs after following a link
|
|
|
+ =org-publish-before-export-hook=: runs before export
|
|
|
+ =org-publish-after-export-hook=: runs after export
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.22
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-log-done' is now less complex.
|
|
|
+ - The in-buffer settings for logging have changed. Some
|
|
|
+ options no longer exists, some new ones have been added.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Changes to logging progress
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ There is now more control over which state changes are being
|
|
|
+ logged in what way. Please read carefully the corresponding
|
|
|
+ sections in the manual. Basically:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-log-done' has been simplified, it no
|
|
|
+ longer influences logging state changes and clocking out.
|
|
|
+ - There is a new variable for triggering note-taking when
|
|
|
+ clocking out an item: `org-log-note-clock-out'.
|
|
|
+ - Logging of state changes now has to be configured on a
|
|
|
+ pre-keyword basis, either in `org-todo-keywords' or in the
|
|
|
+ #+TODO in-buffer setting.
|
|
|
+ - These per-keyword settings allow more control. For example
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : WAIT(w@) Record a note when entering this state.
|
|
|
+ : WAIT(w!) Record a timestamp when entering this state.
|
|
|
+ : WAIT(w@/!) Recore a note when entering and timestamp
|
|
|
+ : when leaving this state. This is great for
|
|
|
+ : getting a record when switching *back* from
|
|
|
+ : WAIT to TODO.
|
|
|
+ : WAIT(/!) Record a timestamp when leaving this state.
|
|
|
+ : Here we not even define a fast access
|
|
|
+ : character, but just the logging stuff.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This was triggered by requests from Wanrong Lin and Bernt Hansen.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Other
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - M-RET no longer brakes a line in the middle, it will make a
|
|
|
+ new line after the current or (if cursor is at the beginning
|
|
|
+ of the line) before the current line.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - RET, when executed in a headline after the main text and
|
|
|
+ before the tags will leave the tags in the current line and
|
|
|
+ create a new line below the current one.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.21
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Bug fixes, in particular the long-hunted bug about wrong window
|
|
|
+ positions after pressing SPACE in the agenda. Hopefully this
|
|
|
+ is really fixed.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.20
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Remember/Refile/Goto
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The use of prefix arguments for the commands `org-remember'
|
|
|
+ and `org-refile' has been normalized.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The clock can now safely be used in a remember buffer.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'
|
|
|
+ introduced only in 5.19 is already obsolete. Please use
|
|
|
+ `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - It is no longer necessary to update the refiling targets.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Automatic isearch in `org-goto'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Outline-path-completion as alternative org-goto interface.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Misc
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Checkboxes now work hierarchically.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `C-k' can now behave specially in headlines.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Repeater for tasks in plain timestamps.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - All clock intervals of an item show in agenda/timeline.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New parameter =:step= for clocktable, to get daily reports.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Never loose a repeaded scheduled item from the agenda.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Archiving a subtree now stores the outline path in a property.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Links to messages in Apple Mail.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible Changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'
|
|
|
+ introduced only in 5.19 is already obsolete. Please use
|
|
|
+ `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Remember/Refile/Goto
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The use of prefix arguments for the commands `org-remember'
|
|
|
+ and `org-refile' has been normalized:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + when called without prefix argument, the command does its
|
|
|
+ normal job, starting a remember note or refiling a tree.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + when called with a single C-u prefix, these commands can be
|
|
|
+ used to select a target location and to jump there. In
|
|
|
+ the case of `org-remember', you will be prompted for a
|
|
|
+ template and then Emacs jumps to the default target
|
|
|
+ location or this template. In the case of `org-refile',
|
|
|
+ you select a location from the refile target list and jump
|
|
|
+ there.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + when called with two prefixes (`C-u C-u'), the command
|
|
|
+ jumps to the location last used for storing a note or a
|
|
|
+ moved tree.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When the clock is running inside an remember buffer, storing
|
|
|
+ the remember buffer with `C-c C-c' will automatically clock
|
|
|
+ out. This was inspired by a request by Rainer Stengle.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'
|
|
|
+ introduced only in 5.19 is already obsolete. Please use
|
|
|
+ `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead. This new
|
|
|
+ variable does select the interface that is used to select
|
|
|
+ the target for a remember note in an interactive way.
|
|
|
+ Possible values are:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + `outline': Use an outline of the document to select a
|
|
|
+ location.
|
|
|
+ + `outline-path-completion': Use completion of an outline
|
|
|
+ path to select a location.
|
|
|
+ + `refile': Offer the `org-refile-targets' as possible
|
|
|
+ targets.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - It is no longer necessary to update the refiling targets -
|
|
|
+ they are always current.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - In `org-goto', typing characters now automatically starts
|
|
|
+ isearch from the beginning of the buffer. The isearch is
|
|
|
+ special also because it only matches in headline. This
|
|
|
+ goes some way toward saving org-goto from being removed
|
|
|
+ from Org-mode. Thanks to Piotr Zielinski for the code, and
|
|
|
+ sorry that it took me so long to put it in. If you prefer
|
|
|
+ to use single letters n,p,f,b,u,q for navigation as before,
|
|
|
+ configure the variable `org-goto-auto-isearch'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Outline-path-completion is now available as an alternative
|
|
|
+ interface in the command `org-goto'. Please select the
|
|
|
+ default interface you'd like to use with the new variable
|
|
|
+ `org-goto-interface'. You can then select the alternative
|
|
|
+ interface with a prefix argument to `C-c C-j' (org-goto). I
|
|
|
+ am considering to make outline-path-completion the default
|
|
|
+ interface. Comments?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Misc
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Checkboxes now work hierarchically. When a plain-list item
|
|
|
+ with a checkbox has children with checkboxes, the status of
|
|
|
+ the item's checkbox is calculated from the children, each
|
|
|
+ time a checkbox is toggled with C-c C-c. Thanks to Miguel
|
|
|
+ A. Figueroa-Villanueva for a patch to this effect.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - There is a new variable `org-special-ctrl-k'. When set,
|
|
|
+ `C-k' will behave specially in headlines:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + When the cursor is at the beginning of a headline, kill
|
|
|
+ the entire line and possible the folded subtree below the
|
|
|
+ line.
|
|
|
+ + When in the middle of the headline text, kill the
|
|
|
+ headline up to the tags.
|
|
|
+ + When after the headline text, kill the tags.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This is following a proposal by Piotr Zielinski.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now also have a plain (as opposed to deadline or
|
|
|
+ scheduled) repeater timestamp in a task. Switching the task
|
|
|
+ to DONE will now also shift a plain time stamp. This was a
|
|
|
+ request by Austin Frank.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - If an entry is clocked multiple times, it will now show up
|
|
|
+ several times in the agenda and timeline buffers, when
|
|
|
+ log-mode is on. This was a proposal by Jurgen Defurne.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The clock table accepts a new parameter =:step=. This
|
|
|
+ parameter can be `day' or `week' and will result in separate
|
|
|
+ tables for each day or week in the requested time interval.
|

+ This was triggered by a proposal by Sacha Chua in her [[http://sachachua.com/wp/2007/12/30/clocking-time-with-emacs-org/][blog]].
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A time-stamp with a repeater now no longer refers to the
|
|
|
+ date *closest* to the current day. Instead, it means either
|
|
|
+ today or the most recent match. This change makes sure that
|
|
|
+ overdue scheduled or deadline items never disappear from the
|
|
|
+ agenda. With the previous convention, an overdue scheduled
|
|
|
+ item would disappear. For example, a weekly item scheduled
|
|
|
+ for Sunday would appear as overdue until Wednesday, and the
|
|
|
+ suddenly disappear until next Sunday. Now the item will
|
|
|
+ show up as "Sched 7x" on Saturday. From Sunday on it will
|
|
|
+ be in the list as "Scheduled", i.e. old sins will be
|
|
|
+ forgiven. This follows a request by Warong, Dennis and
|
|
|
+ Bernt.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Archiving a subtree now creates an additional property,
|
|
|
+ =ARCHIVE_OLPATH=. This property contains the "path" in the
|
|
|
+ outline tree to the archived entry, as it was in the
|
|
|
+ original file. For example, archiving =Fix the door= in the
|
|
|
+ following hierarchy
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : * Tasks
|
|
|
+ : ** HOME
|
|
|
+ : *** Garage
|
|
|
+ : **** Fix the door
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ will file is with the following property
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : :ARCHIVE_PATH: Task/HOME/Garage
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Note that you can configure (i.e. limit) the information
|
|
|
+ that gets stored upon archiving with the variable
|
|
|
+ `org-archive-save-context-info'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New file `org-mac-message.el' by John Wiegley to create
|
|
|
+ links for messages in Apple Mail, and to follow these
|
|
|
+ links.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.19
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Column view can list the clocked times of a subtree.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Storing remember notes can use the `org-refile' interface.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Storing remember notes no longer produced empty lines.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Moving subtrees now folds all siblings of the subtree.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-agenda-todo-keyword-format'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Hack to allow brackets in link descriptions.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Clocking into an entry can enforce a specific TODO state.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - EXPORT_FILE_NAME may be an absolute file name with "~".
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes, lots of them.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A new special column definition lists the sum of all CLOCK
|
|
|
+ entries in a subtree. For example
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : #+COLUMNS: %20ITEM %10Time_Estimate{:} %CLOCKSUM
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ will allow you to compare estimated times (as given in the
|
|
|
+ Time_Estimate property) with the clocked times. This was a
|
|
|
+ request by Bernt Hansen.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Storing remember notes can now use the `org-refile'
|
|
|
+ interface instead of the `org-goto' interface (see the
|
|
|
+ variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive').
|
|
|
+ Nothing will change if the note is stored immediately after
|
|
|
+ pressing `C-c C-c' in the =*Remember*= buffer. But if you
|
|
|
+ have chosen (e.g. by pressing `C-u C-c C-c') to
|
|
|
+ interactively select the filing location (file and
|
|
|
+ headline), the refile interface will be used instead. I am
|
|
|
+ excited about this change, because the `org-goto' interface
|
|
|
+ is basically a failure, at least for this application. Note
|
|
|
+ that in any case the refile interface has to be configured
|
|
|
+ first by customizing `org-refile-targets'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Notes inserted with remember now remove any whitespace
|
|
|
+ before and after the note before being pasted, so that there
|
|
|
+ will be no empty lines inserted together with the note. We
|
|
|
+ could invent special syntax in remember templates to allow
|
|
|
+ creating empty lines before a note - is there anyone who'd
|
|
|
+ want this?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Moving subtrees now folds all siblings of the subtree. This
|
|
|
+ is the only reasonably simple way I could find to avoid the
|
|
|
+ reported inconsistencies in the folding state of the outline
|
|
|
+ tree after moving entries. There are reasons to like this
|
|
|
+ new behavior, because it easily visualizes where the tree is
|
|
|
+ located after the move. Still, not everyone might be happy
|
|
|
+ with this. Massive complaining would be needed to make me
|
|
|
+ fix this.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-agenda-todo-keyword-format' to specify the
|
|
|
+ width of the TODO keyword field in the agenda display. Use
|
|
|
+ it to get things to line up better. This was a proposal by
|
|
|
+ Rainer Stengele.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - If a link description inserted with `C-c C-l' contains
|
|
|
+ brackets, the brackets will now be converted into curly
|
|
|
+ braces. This looks similar enough. Supporting brackets in
|
|
|
+ link descriptions is, for technical reasons too long to
|
|
|
+ explain here, complex.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The new option `org-clock-in-switch-to-state' can be set to
|
|
|
+ a TODO state that will be enforced when the clock is started
|
|
|
+ on an entry. This follows an idea by Sacha Chua.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The EXPORT_FILE_NAME property may now also be an absolute
|
|
|
+ file name, and it may contain abbreviations like "~" for the
|
|
|
+ users home directory. This was requested by Adam Spiers.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes, lots of them.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.18
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Minor fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.17
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Whitespace
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When cutting, pasting, or moving subtrees and items, the
|
|
|
+ empty lines *before* the subtree/item now belong to the
|
|
|
+ part and will be moved with it. There is one exception to
|
|
|
+ this rule: If the first child is moved down (or,
|
|
|
+ equivalently, the second is moved up), the amount of empty
|
|
|
+ lines *above* the first child to be moved along with it is
|
|
|
+ limited by the number of empty lines *below* it. This
|
|
|
+ sounds complicated, but it allows to have extra empty space
|
|
|
+ before the first child and still have good behavior of the
|
|
|
+ subtree motion commands.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Plain lists items work the same.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ I believe we have finally nailed this one. Thanks to Daniel
|
|
|
+ Pittman for bring this up again and to Eric Schulte for
|
|
|
+ pointing out that it is the empty lines *before* an entry
|
|
|
+ that really count.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This change was non-trivial, please give it a good test and
|
|
|
+ let me know about any problems.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Remember
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The new command `org-remember-goto-last-stored' will jump
|
|
|
+ to the location of the remember note stored most recently.
|
|
|
+ If you have `org-remember' on a key like `C-c r', then you
|
|
|
+ can go to the location with a double prefix arg: `C-u C-u
|
|
|
+ C-c r'. This was a proposal by Rainer Stengele.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Template items that are being prompted for can now specify
|
|
|
+ a default value and a completion table. Furthermore,
|
|
|
+ previous inputs at a specific prompt are captured in a
|
|
|
+ history variable. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : %^{Author|Roald Dahl|Thomas Mann|Larry Niven}
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ will prompt for an author name. Pressing RET without
|
|
|
+ typing anything will select "Roald Dahl". Completion will
|
|
|
+ give you any of the three names. And a history will be
|
|
|
+ kept, so you can use the arrow keys to get to previous
|
|
|
+ input. The history is tied to the prompt. By using the
|
|
|
+ same prompt in different templates, you can build a history
|
|
|
+ across templates. The ideas for this came from proposals
|
|
|
+ by Bastien and Adam.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When a remember template contains the string `%!', the note
|
|
|
+ will be stored immediately after all template parts have
|
|
|
+ been filled in, so you don't even have to press `C-c
|
|
|
+ C-c'. The was a proposal by Adam Spiers.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Refile
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `org-refile-targets' has a new parameter to specify a
|
|
|
+ maximum level for target selection. Thanks to Wanrong Lin
|
|
|
+ for this proposal.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When the new option `org-refile-use-outline-path' is set,
|
|
|
+ refile targets will be presented like a file path to the
|
|
|
+ completion interface: "level 1/level 2/level 3". This
|
|
|
+ may be the fastest interface yet to get to a certain
|
|
|
+ outline entry. Do we need to use this interface in other
|
|
|
+ places? Thanks to Jose Ruiz for this proposal.

|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Restriction lock on agenda scope
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ You can now permanently lock the agenda construction to a
|
|
|
+ certain scope, like a file or a subtree. So instead of
|
|
|
+ pressing "<" for each command in the agenda dispatcher, you
|
|
|
+ only once select a restriction scope. All subsequent agenda
|
|
|
+ commands will than respect this restriction. For example,
|
|
|
+ you can use this at work, to limit agendas to your work file
|
|
|
+ or tree, and at home to limit to the home file or tree. Or
|
|
|
+ you can use it during the day in order to focus in on certain
|
|
|
+ projects.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ You select a scope with the command `C-c C-x <', which
|
|
|
+ restricts to the current subtree. When called with a `C-u'
|
|
|
+ prefix, the restriction is to the current file. You can also
|
|
|
+ make restrictions from the speedbar frame, see below.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ When making a new restriction and an agenda window is
|
|
|
+ currently visible, it will immediately be updated to reflect
|
|
|
+ the new scope. If you like you can display an agenda view
|
|
|
+ and then watch it change in various scopes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ To get rid of the restriction, use the command "C-c C-x >".
|
|
|
+ Or press ">" in the agenda dispatcher. Also, and use of "<"
|
|
|
+ in the dispatcher will disable the restriction lock and
|
|
|
+ select a new restriction.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Rick Moynihan for triggering this development.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Imenu and Speedbar support
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Org-mode now supports Imenu. For example, with the setting
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
|
|
|
+ : (lambda () 'imenu-add-to-menubar "Imenu"))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ a menu will be created in each Org-mode buffer that
|
|
|
+ provides access to all level 1 and level 2 headings. The
|
|
|
+ depth of the menu can be set with the variable
|
|
|
+ `org-imenu-depth'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - org-mode now supports Speedbar. This means that you can
|
|
|
+ drill into the first and second level headlines of an
|
|
|
+ Org-mode file right from the speedbar frame.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can set a restriction lock for the Org-mode agenda to a
|
|
|
+ file or a subtree directly from the speedbar frame. Just
|
|
|
+ press "<" with the cursor on an Org-mode file or subtree to
|
|
|
+ set the lock and immediately update the agenda if it is
|
|
|
+ visible. Use ">" to get rid of the lock again.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.15
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - There are new special properties TIMESTAMP and TIMESTAMP_IA.
|
|
|
+ These can be used to access the first keyword-less active
|
|
|
+ and inactive timestamp in an entry, respectively.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-clock-heading-function'. It can be set to
|
|
|
+ a function that creates the string shown in the mode line
|
|
|
+ when a clock is running. Thanks to Tom Weissmann for this
|
|
|
+ idea.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.14
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + Remember and related stuff
|
|
|
+ - New command `org-refile' to quickly move a note.
|
|
|
+ - Easy way to jump to the target location of remember template.
|
|
|
+ - New %-escapes in remember templates: %c %(...) and %[...]
|
|
|
+ - `org-remember-insinuate' simplifies remember setup
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + Emphasis and Font-lock stuff
|
|
|
+ - Stacked emphasis is no longer allowed.
|
|
|
+ - You may finally emphasize a single character like ~*a*~.
|
|
|
+ - Font-lock now can hide the emphasis markers
|
|
|
+ - Text in the "=" emphasis is exported verbatim
|
|
|
+ - There is a new emphasis marker "~" for verbatim text
|
|
|
+ - Constructs treated specially by the exporters can be highlighted
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + Properties and Column view
|
|
|
+ - More control over which properties use inheritance
|
|
|
+ - CATEGORY="work" can now be used in a tags/property search
|
|
|
+ - the {+} summary type can specify a printf-style output format
|
|
|
+ - New currency summary type {$}
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + The date/time prompt
|
|
|
+ - While entering data, watch live the current interpretation.
|
|
|
+ - The date prompt now prefers to select the future
|
|
|
+ - Easier modification of time in an existing time stamp.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + Export
|
|
|
+ - You can now export some special strings in HTML, like "..."
|
|
|
+ - #+EMAIL: may contain several email addresses
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + Agenda
|
|
|
+ - In the agenda, a few keys have changed: `g', `G', and `e'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + Miscellaneous
|
|
|
+ - Class-dependent sectioning structures in LaTeX export.
|
|
|
+ - Radio-lists modeled after the radio tables.
|
|
|
+ - The default for `org-ellipsis' is back to nil
|
|
|
+ - Support for pabbrev-mode
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-show-entry-below'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - If you have customized the variable `org-emphasis-alist' or
|
|
|
+ org-export-emphasis-alist', you need to do it again by first
|
|
|
+ canceling your customization and then adding it again.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - I know that some people have defined their own private helper
|
|
|
+ functions to select a specific remember template, without being
|
|
|
+ prompted, like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : (defun my-remember-template-n ()
|
|
|
+ : (interactive)
|
|
|
+ : (org-remember ?n))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ You need to modify this. The character selecting the template
|
|
|
+ must now be the /second/ argument to `org-remember':
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : (defun my-remember-template-n ()
|
|
|
+ : (interactive)
|
|
|
+ : (org-remember nil ?n))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `C-c C-w' now refiles an entry. To get a sparse tree of
|
|
|
+ deadlines, use `C-c / d' instead.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Remember and related stuff
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New command `org-refile' to quickly move a note to a
|
|
|
+ different place. It is bound to `C-c C-w'. The foremost
|
|
|
+ application might be to put a note or task captured with
|
|
|
+ `remember' into the proper list or project. The command
|
|
|
+ offers a list of possible refiling targets for completion.
|
|
|
+ These are headings under which the entry will be inserted
|
|
|
+ as a subitem. By default, this will offer all top-level
|
|
|
+ headings in the current buffer, but you can configure the
|
|
|
+ variable `org-refile-targets' to get more complex
|
|
|
+ definitions. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : (setq org-refile-targets '((nil . (:level . 2))))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ selects all level 2 headlines in the current buffer as
|
|
|
+ targets. And
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : (setq org-refile-targets
|
|
|
+ : '((org-agenda-files . (:tag . "refile"))))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ searches all agenda files and selects headlines that are
|
|
|
+ explicitly marked with the tag :refile: . Note that the
|
|
|
+ list of targets is built upon first use only, to rebuilt
|
|
|
+ it, call the command `C-c C-w' with a double prefix
|
|
|
+ argument.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This is based on an idea and example implementation by Max
|
|
|
+ Mikhanosha. Many thanks Max.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now use a C-u prefix on `org-remember' to jump to
|
|
|
+ the location where a specific templates stores its notes.
|
|
|
+ For example, if you have `org-remember' bound to `C-c r',
|
|
|
+ then `C-u C-c r n' will get you to the file and headline
|
|
|
+ given in the template associated with the letter "n".
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This was proposed by someone, but I have lost track who.
|
|
|
+ Sorry, and thanks anyway.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New %-escapes in remember templates:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : %c insert the current clipboard, like C-y would do
|
|
|
+ : %(..) evaluate Lisp expression and insert the result
|
|
|
+ : %[..] include file
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Adam Spiers and Tim O'Callaghan.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New function `org-remember-insinuate' that makes is easier
|
|
|
+ to set Org-mode specific values for remember variables.
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Michael Olson for this proposal. It is
|
|
|
+ equivalent to:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : (require 'remember)
|
|
|
+ : (setq remember-annotation-functions '(org-remember-annotation))
|
|
|
+ : (setq remember-handler-functions '(org-remember-handler))
|
|
|
+ : (add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'org-remember-apply-template))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ You might still want to set `org-default-notes-file' to
|
|
|
+ provide a default for templates without a file, and
|
|
|
+ `org-directory' to show where to find other org files.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Emphasis and Font-lock stuff
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Stacked emphasis like ~*/bold italic/*~ is no longer allowed.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You may finally emphasize a single character like ~*a*~.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Font-lock now can hide the emphasis markers, just like Muse
|
|
|
+ does. Configure the variable `org-hide-emphasis-markers'
|
|
|
+ if you want this. Showing the characters continues to be
|
|
|
+ the default in Org-mode.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Text in the "=" emphasis is now exported verbatim, i.e. no
|
|
|
+ further parsing and interpretation of this text takes place. So
|
|
|
+ you can write ~=quoted *xxx* a_x = b=~. This and the following
|
|
|
+ point implement a request by Daniel Clemente.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - There is a new emphasis marker "~" which marks text to be
|
|
|
+ exported verbatim, without special formatting. Inside an
|
|
|
+ org-mode file, this text is highlighted with the org-verbatim
|
|
|
+ face. I am not happy with the face yet (currently is is like
|
|
|
+ org-code, but underlined), please suggest a better one.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Whether an emphasis environment is verbatim or not is now an
|
|
|
+ extra flag in the variable `org-emphasis-alist'. If you have
|
|
|
+ configured this variable, do it again by first canceling your
|
|
|
+ customization to revert to the default, and then adding it
|
|
|
+ again.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-highlight-latex-fragments-and-specials'.
|
|
|
+ When turned on, Org-mode will highlight all strings that
|
|
|
+ are treated in a special way by the exporters. This is
|
|
|
+ great for export-oriented writing, but maybe a bit noisy
|
|
|
+ for note taking, so this feature is off by default.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Properties and Column view
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `org-use-property-inheritance' may now also be a list of
|
|
|
+ property names that should be treated with inheritance
|
|
|
+ during searches.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - CATEGORY="work" can now be used in a tags/property search,
|
|
|
+ even if the category is not specified as a property in the
|
|
|
+ entry, but rather is inherited or derived from #+CATEGORY.
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Adam, Tim, and Bastien for an interesting
|
|
|
+ discussion around this issue.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Summary type improvements in column view.
|
|
|
+ * The {+} summary type can specify a printf-style output
|
|
|
+ format for computed values like this: {+;%5.2f}
|
|
|
+ This was triggered by a report by Levin.
|
|
|
+ * New currency summary type {$}, which so far is just a
|
|
|
+ shorthand for {+;%.2f}. Do we need to have a currency
|
|
|
+ symbol in front of each value. Scott Jaderholm asked for
|
|
|
+ this, but I am not sure if this is already what he meant.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** The date/time prompt
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ There have been several small but *very* useful additions to
|
|
|
+ the date prompt.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - While entering data at the date prompt, the current
|
|
|
+ interpretation of your input is shown next to your input in
|
|
|
+ the minibuffer. I find this great to understand how the
|
|
|
+ input works. If you find the extra stuff in the minibuffer
|
|
|
+ annoying, turn it off with `org-read-date-display-live'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The date prompt now prefers to select the future. If you
|
|
|
+ enter a date without a month, and the day number is before
|
|
|
+ today (for example, on the 16th of the month you enter
|
|
|
+ "9"), Org-mode will assume next month. Similarly, if you
|
|
|
+ enter a month and no year, next year will be assumed if the
|
|
|
+ entered month is before the current, for example if you
|
|
|
+ enter "May" in September. Thanks to John Rakestraw for
|
|
|
+ this great suggestion. If you find it confusing, turn it
|
|
|
+ off with `org-read-date-prefer-future'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When modifying an existing date using `C-c .' at the stamp,
|
|
|
+ the time or time range in the stamp are now offered as
|
|
|
+ default input at the prompt. This goes a long way to
|
|
|
+ simplifying the modification of an existing date. Thanks
|
|
|
+ to Adam Spiers for this proposal.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Export (all implemented by Bastien...)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now export special strings in HTML. Here is the
|
|
|
+ list of newly performed conversions:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ | Org | Description | HTML |
|
|
|
+ |-----+------------------------------------+----------|
|
|
|
+ | ~\\-~ | double backslash followed by minus | ­ |
|
|
|
+ | ~--~ | two dashes (minuses) | – |
|
|
|
+ | ~---~ | three dashes (minuses) | — |
|
|
|
+ | ~...~ | three dots | … |
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ You can turn this globally on or off with
|
|
|
+ `org-export-with-special-strings' or locally with "-:t" or
|
|
|
+ "-:nil" in the #+OPTIONS line. Thanks to Adam Spiers for
|
|
|
+ starting the discussion, and thanks to Daniel Clemente and
|
|
|
+ William Henney for relevant inputs.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Comma-separated emails in #+EMAIL: are correctly exported.
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Raman for pointing out this omission.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Agenda
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - In the agenda, a few keys have changed
|
|
|
+ : g does now the same a "r", refresh current display,
|
|
|
+ : because "g" is the Emacs standard for "refresh"
|
|
|
+ : G toggle the time grid, used to be "g"
|
|
|
+ : e Execute another agenda command, pretty much the same as
|
|
|
+ : `C-c a', but shorter and keep the same agenda window.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Miscellaneous (much of it from Bastien)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now select the sectioning structure of your LaTeX
|
|
|
+ export by setting it either globally
|
|
|
+ (`org-export-latex-default-class') or locally in each Org
|
|
|
+ file (with #+LaTeX_CLASS: myclass). You can also customize
|
|
|
+ the list of available classes and their sectioning
|
|
|
+ structures through the new `org-export-latex-classes'
|
|
|
+ option. Thanks to Daniel for discussions and suggestion on
|
|
|
+ this issue.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can send and receive radio lists in HTML,
|
|
|
+ LaTeX or TeXInfo, just as you send and receive radio
|
|
|
+ tables. Check the documentation for details and examples.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The default for `org-ellipsis' is back to nil, some people
|
|
|
+ seem to have had problems with the face as a default.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Support for pabbrev-mode, needs pabbrev version 1.1. Thanks
|
|
|
+ to Phillip Lord for adapting his package to make this
|
|
|
+ possible.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-show-entry-below' to force context-showing
|
|
|
+ commands to expose the body of a headline that is being
|
|
|
+ shown. Thanks to Harald Weis for pointing out this omission.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.13i
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - On the date/time prompt, you can now also answer with
|
|
|
+ something like +2tue to pick the second tuesday from today.
|
|
|
+ This was a proposal by Sacha Chua.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When interpopating into Lisp formulas in the spreadsheet,
|
|
|
+ the values of constants and properties are no longer
|
|
|
+ enclosed into parenthesis. When interpolating for calc,
|
|
|
+ this still happens in order to allow expressions in
|
|
|
+ constants. This problem was reported by Eddward DeVilla.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When a directory is listed in `org-agenda-files', all files
|
|
|
+ with extension matched by the new variable
|
|
|
+ `org-agenda-file-regexp' in that directory will be agenda
|
|
|
+ files.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.13
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes and improvements in column view
|
|
|
+ + All known bugs fixed.
|
|
|
+ + A Column view can be captured into a dynamic block.
|
|
|
+ + The ITEM column is formatted core compactly.
|
|
|
+ + Also ITEM can be edited with `e'
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The agenda dispatcher
|
|
|
+ + `<' cycles through restriction states.
|
|
|
+ + Multi-character access codes to commands (= sub-keymaps).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Sorting improvements
|
|
|
+ + User-defined sorting keys.
|
|
|
+ + Sorting by properties.
|
|
|
+ + Sorting of plain lists.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - HTML <div> structure
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Other stuff
|
|
|
+ + New variables, several of them.
|
|
|
+ + Drawers can be set on a per-file basis.
|
|
|
+ + Better control over priority fontification in agenda.
|
|
|
+ + M-up and M-down now move the current line up and down.
|
|
|
+ + Abort remember template selection with C-g.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Bug fixes and improvements in column view
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - All the bugs described by Scott Jaderholm have been fixed
|
|
|
+ (at least I hope so...).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now capture a column view into a dynamic block, for
|
|
|
+ exporting or printing it. The column view can be
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + global, i.e. for the entire file
|
|
|
+ + local, i.e. for the subtree where the dynamic block is
|
|
|
+ + from an entry with a specific :ID: property.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ You can identify the entry whose column view you want to
|
|
|
+ capture by assigning an :ID: property, and use that property
|
|
|
+ in the dynamic block definition. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : * Planning
|
|
|
+ : :PROPERTIES:
|
|
|
+ : :ID: planning-overview
|
|
|
+ : :END:
|
|
|
+ :
|
|
|
+ : [...]
|
|
|
+ :
|
|
|
+ : * The column view
|
|
|
+ : #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "planning-overview"
|
|
|
+ :
|
|
|
+ : #+END:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Use `C-c C-x r' to insert such a dynamic block, and you will
|
|
|
+ be prompted for the ID.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When the current column format displays TODO keyword,
|
|
|
+ priority or tags, these parts are stripped from the content
|
|
|
+ of the ITEM column, making for more compact and readable
|
|
|
+ entries. When any of these "properties" are not listed in
|
|
|
+ the current column format, they are instead retained in the
|
|
|
+ ITEM column.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now also edit the ITEM column with `e'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** The agenda dispatcher
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Instead of pressing `1' to restrict an agenda command to
|
|
|
+ the current buffer, or `0' to restrict it to the current
|
|
|
+ subtree or region, you can now also press `<' once or
|
|
|
+ twice, respectively. This frees up `1' and `0' for user
|
|
|
+ commands, a request by Bastien. In fact, "<" cycles
|
|
|
+ through different restriction states. "1" and "0" are
|
|
|
+ still available for backward compatibility, until you bind
|
|
|
+ them to custom commands.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The access code to custom agenda commands can now contain
|
|
|
+ several characters, effectively allowing to bundle several
|
|
|
+ similar commands into a sub-keymap. This follows an
|
|
|
+ excellent proposal by Adam Spiers. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
|
|
|
+ : '(("h" . "HOME + Name tag searches") ; describe prefix "h"
|
|
|
+ : ("hl" tags "+HOME+Lisa")
|
|
|
+ : ("hp" tags "+HOME+Peter")
|
|
|
+ : ("hk" tags "+HOME+Kim")))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The user function option in org-agenda-custom-commands may
|
|
|
+ now also be a lambda expression, following a request by
|
|
|
+ Adam Spiers.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Sorting improvements
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ We are using a new routine for sorting entries, courtesy of
|
|
|
+ John Wiegley. Many thanks to John.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can define your own function to extract a sorting key
|
|
|
+ and in this way sort entries by anything you like.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Entries can now be sorted according to the value of a
|
|
|
+ property.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Plain lists can be sorted.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** HTML <div> structure
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ There is now a <div>-based structure in exported HTML.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The table of context is wrapped into a div with a class
|
|
|
+ "table-of-contents".
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The outline structure is embedded in <div> elements with
|
|
|
+ classes "outline-1", "outline-2" etc.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The postamble, containing the author information and the
|
|
|
+ date is wrapped into a div with class "postamble".
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ I am not sure if the class names are the best choice, let me
|
|
|
+ know if there are more "canonical" choices.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Mike Newman and Cezar for input, and in particular
|
|
|
+ to Mike for his clearly formulated specification.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Other stuff
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-agenda-window-frame-fractions' to
|
|
|
+ customize the size limits of the agenda window in the case
|
|
|
+ that you display the agenda window by reorganizing the
|
|
|
+ frame.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Drawers can be set on a per-file basis using
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : #+DRAWERS: HIDDEN STATE PROPERTIES
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This will define the drawers :HIDDEN: and :STATE:.
|
|
|
+ The :PROPERTY: drawer should always be part of this list, or
|
|
|
+ your properties will not be folded away.
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Richard G. Riley for this proposal.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `org-agenda-fontify-priorities' may now also be an
|
|
|
+ association list of priorities and faces, to specify the
|
|
|
+ faces of priorities in the agenda individually.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-export-with-property-drawer' no longer
|
|
|
+ exists, please use `org-export-with-drawers' instead. Also,
|
|
|
+ the corresponding switch in the #+OPTIONS line has changed
|
|
|
+ from "p" to "d". Thanks to Bastien for pointing out that we
|
|
|
+ needed to handle not only the property drawer.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - M-up and M-down now move the current line up and down (if
|
|
|
+ not at a headline, item or table). Among other things you
|
|
|
+ can use this to re-order properties in the drawer. This was
|
|
|
+ a proposal by Bastien.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date', based on a
|
|
|
+ request by Wanrong Lin.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Aborting remember template selection with C-g now kills the
|
|
|
+ remember buffer and restores the old window configuration.
|
|
|
+ This was a request by Nuutti Kotivuori.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.12
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Remember templates can now have name.
|
|
|
+ - `C-c C-k' will abort taking a note (remember of log)
|
|
|
+ - `C-c C-x C-w' and `C-c C-x M-w' now accept a prefix arg.
|
|
|
+ - Lines in the agenda can be fontified according to priority.
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-scheduled-past-days'.
|
|
|
+ - New variables `org-agenda-deadline-leaders' and
|
|
|
+ `org-agenda-scheduled-leaders'.
|
|
|
+ - New sparse tree function `org-sparse-tree'.
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-ellipsis' now defaults to `org-link'.
|
|
|
+ - The #+OPTIONS line has a new option "tags".
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-use-property-inheritance'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible Changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `C-c /' now calls `org-sparse-tree'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Remember templates can now have a template name as the first
|
|
|
+ element. The name will be listed along with the selection
|
|
|
+ character when prompting for a template. It is best to have
|
|
|
+ the name start with the selection character, for example if
|
|
|
+ you use ("Note" "n"), you will be prompted like "[n]ote".
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Matiyam for this proposal.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `C-c C-k' will abort taking a note. You can use this in remember
|
|
|
+ buffers and when taking a logging note (e.g. for a state
|
|
|
+ change). Thanks to Bastien.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `C-c C-x C-w' and `C-c C-x M-w' now accept a prefix arg to
|
|
|
+ cut N sequential subtrees. This was a proposal by John.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Lines in the agenda are now bold if they have priority A and
|
|
|
+ italic if they have priority C. You can turn this off using
|
|
|
+ the variable `org-agenda-fontify-priorities'. Thanks to
|
|
|
+ John Wiegley for the idea and code.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-scheduled-past-days' to set the number a
|
|
|
+ scheduled item will be listed after its date has passed.
|
|
|
+ Default is 10000, i.e. indefinitely.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variables `org-agenda-deadline-leaders' and
|
|
|
+ `org-agenda-scheduled-leaders' to adjust the leading text o
|
|
|
+ scheduled items and deadline in the agenda. Thanks to John
|
|
|
+ Wiegley for a patch.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New sparse tree function `org-sparse-tree'. This is now the
|
|
|
+ default binding for `C-c /'. It requires one additional
|
|
|
+ keypress to select a command, but in return is provides a
|
|
|
+ single interface to all the different sparse tree commands,
|
|
|
+ with full completion support.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-ellipsis' now defaults to the face
|
|
|
+ `org-link' because the visibility of the dots is really bad
|
|
|
+ and I have found this change very useful indeed.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The #+OPTIONS line has a new option "tags" which can be used
|
|
|
+ to set `org-export-with-tags'. Thanks to Wanrong Lin for
|
|
|
+ this proposal.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-use-property-inheritance'. Configure it
|
|
|
+ to `t' if you want that searching for entries with certain
|
|
|
+ properties always should assume inheritance. This is not
|
|
|
+ well tested yet, please check it out.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes
|
|
|
+
|

|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - If you have customized `org-drawers', you need to add
|
|
|
+ "CLOCK" to the list of drawers.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-agenda-align-tags-to-column' has been
|
|
|
+ renamed to `org-agenda-tags-column'. The old name is still
|
|
|
+ an alias, in Emacs 22 and in XEmacs, but not in Emacs 21.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The default value for both `org-tags-column' and
|
|
|
+ `org-agenda-tags-column' is now -80.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable
|
|
|
+ `org-insert-labeled-timestamps-before-properties-drawer'
|
|
|
+ is now obsolete.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The LOGGING property allows to modify the settings for
|
|
|
+ progress logging for a single entry. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : :PROPERTIES:
|
|
|
+ : :LOGGING: nologging nologrepeat
|
|
|
+ : :END:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ turns off all progress logging for the current entry and its
|
|
|
+ children.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The properties SUMMARY, DESCRIPTION and LOCATION have
|
|
|
+ special meaning during iCalendar export, when they translate
|
|
|
+ to the corresponding VEVENT and VTODO fields. If not given,
|
|
|
+ Org-ode continues to use cleaned-up version of the headline
|
|
|
+ and body as the summary and the description, respectively.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New function to go to the entry with the currently running
|
|
|
+ clock. Bound to `C-c C-x C-j', in agenda also to "J". If
|
|
|
+ you use this often, you might even want to assign a global
|
|
|
+ key. Thanks to Bernt and Bastien.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Clock entries can now have their own drawer, the :CLOCK:
|
|
|
+ drawer. Check out the variable `org-clock-into-drawer' for
|
|
|
+ configuration of this feature. The default is to create a
|
|
|
+ drawer when the second clocking line gets added to an entry.
|
|
|
+ Note that "CLOCK" has been added to the default value of
|
|
|
+ `org-drawers', but if you have configured that variable, you
|
|
|
+ must go back and add "CLOCK" yourself to get this drawer
|
|
|
+ folded away. Thanks to Tom Weissman for pointing out that
|
|
|
+ too many clock entries are visually annoying.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `C-c C-x C-r' no longer tries to find the first clocktable
|
|
|
+ in a buffer and then updates it. Instead, it will update
|
|
|
+ the clocktable at point if there is one (same as C-c C-c
|
|
|
+ will do if the cursor is in the "#+BEGIN" line of the
|
|
|
+ table). If there is none at point, a new one will be
|
|
|
+ inserted. This change was necessary because the new :scope
|
|
|
+ parameter allows to have several clocktables in a buffer.
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Bastien for pointing this out.
|
|
|
+ To update all dynamic blocks in a file, use `C-u C-c C-x C-u'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The function `org-remember' can now be called with a
|
|
|
+ template selection key as argument. This helps to make key
|
|
|
+ bindings that go directly to a specific template without
|
|
|
+ being prompted for a template, like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : (global-set-key [f5] (lambda () (interactive) (org-remember "j")))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Richard G Riley for bringing this up.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `C-n' and `C-p' are back to their default binding
|
|
|
+ (next/previous line) in the agenda buffer. Enough people,
|
|
|
+ including recently Denis Bueno, have complained about this,
|
|
|
+ and I agree it is not good to break habits like that.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `C-x C-s' in an agenda buffer now saves all org-mode buffers
|
|
|
+ (also `s' does this).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Setting schedule or deadline dates from the agenda now
|
|
|
+ produces a note in the agenda, similarly to what happens
|
|
|
+ with S-left/right.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Using a prefix argument for `C-c C-d' or `C-c C-s' will
|
|
|
+ remove the deadline or scheduling date from an item. Thanks
|
|
|
+ to Wanrong Lin for this proposal.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-agenda-compact-blocks'. When set, the
|
|
|
+ space between blocks in a block agenda is reduced as much as
|
|
|
+ possible, to show more items on a single screen.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-agenda-tags-column' (renamed from
|
|
|
+ `org-agenda-align-tags-to-column') can now also be negative,
|
|
|
+ to mean alignment to the left. The new default is -80, just
|
|
|
+ like it is now for `org-tags-column'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.10
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Category and the archive location can be properties.
|
|
|
+ - The clocktable has a new =:scope= parameter.
|
|
|
+ - CSV support when importing a table.
|
|
|
+ - Better defaults when modifying a time stamp.
|
|
|
+ - New way to specify the duration of an appointment.
|
|
|
+ - More aggressive version of orgstruct-mode improved wrapping.
|
|
|
+ - Modifications to priority cycling.
|
|
|
+ - Modifications to computations in column view.
|
|
|
+ - New command `org-occur-in-agenda-files'.
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Both the category and the archive location in a (sub)tree of
|
|
|
+ the buffer can now be specified using a property, for
|
|
|
+ example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : * Tree with special properties
|
|
|
+ : :PROPERTIES:
|
|
|
+ : :CATEGORY: Examples
|
|
|
+ : :ARCHIVE: /some/special/file::
|
|
|
+ : :END:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This is a much cleaner way of dealing with multiple
|
|
|
+ categories and archives in a single file. The preferred use
|
|
|
+ of the =#+CATEGORY= and =#+ARCHIVE= lines is now to set a
|
|
|
+ *single* default for the file which is then locally
|
|
|
+ overruled by properties. This was a proposal from Bastien
|
|
|
+ if I remember correctly. Multiple =#+= lines still work
|
|
|
+ and I don't plan to remove this support soon, but I
|
|
|
+ encourage you to stop using them.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The clocktable has a new =:scope= parameter that determines
|
|
|
+ the range in the file from which clock entries should be
|
|
|
+ taken. This can be anything from the local subtree to the
|
|
|
+ entire buffer to even the full list of agenda files. Legal
|
|
|
+ values are:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ | value | scope |
|
|
|
+ |---------+-------------------------------------------------|
|
|
|
+ | nil | the current buffer or narrowed region |
|
|
|
+ | file | the full current buffer |
|
|
|
+ | subtree | the subtree where the clocktable is located |
|
|
|
+ | treeN | the surrounding level N tree, for example tree3 |
|
|
|
+ | tree | the surrounding level 1 tree |
|
|
|
+ | agenda | all agenda files |
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer and Bernt Hansen for
|
|
|
+ inspiration. Thanks to cranreuch (what is you full name?)
|
|
|
+ for mentioning, at the right moment, that the clocktable is
|
|
|
+ not so bad - that remark made it seem worthwhile to add
|
|
|
+ features.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The commands to import a table and to convert a region to a
|
|
|
+ table can now handle comma-separated values (CSV). The
|
|
|
+ algorithm does not yet treat quoting correctly, but for
|
|
|
+ basic input it works.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When modifying an existing time stamp, or when entering the
|
|
|
+ second stamp of a range, the date prompt will now
|
|
|
+ consistently default to the date/time in the existing stamp.
|
|
|
+ This was triggered by Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - At the date/time prompt, there is a new way to specify a
|
|
|
+ range of hours, by using "+DURATION" after the time. For
|
|
|
+ example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : 14:00+2 means 14:00-16:00
|
|
|
+ : 2pm+2:30 means 14:00-16:30
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Again, Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When you use the function `turn-on-orgstruct++' to turn on
|
|
|
+ orgstruct-mode, the special org-mode settings for
|
|
|
+ auto-filling, indentation and paragraphs are exported into
|
|
|
+ the buffer, so that typing list items with indentation works
|
|
|
+ better. This was Bastien's idea and request.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-priority-start-cycle-with-default'. When
|
|
|
+ t (the default), priority cycling will initially set the
|
|
|
+ default priority and then increase or decrease. When nil,
|
|
|
+ the first priority set by cycling is already 1 different
|
|
|
+ from the default priority. This was mostly driven by
|
|
|
+ Bastien.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - In column view: When an entry has a property for a summary
|
|
|
+ column defined, its value is normally overwritten by the sum
|
|
|
+ of all the children's values each time you enter column
|
|
|
+ view. Now there is an exception to this rule: If none of
|
|
|
+ the children has that particular property defined, the
|
|
|
+ parent's value stays. In this way you can still place TODO
|
|
|
+ items under such an entry without getting the property value
|
|
|
+ changed. Thanks to Russel Adams for pointing out that this
|
|
|
+ is a better way of doing things.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - In column view, computed values are now bold face, and
|
|
|
+ trying to edit them is an error. I think this works, but
|
|
|
+ testing is appreciated.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New command `org-occur-in-agenda-files', this is basically
|
|
|
+ the quick command John Wiegley proposed the other day, but
|
|
|
+ it also works when the agenda files are not yet in buffers.
|
|
|
+ The key is `C-c C-x /', any better proposals?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Links containing a space will now be handled correctly when
|
|
|
+ calling the browser. Note that you need to enclose such
|
|
|
+ links in square or angular brackets.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.09
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Taking a note upon TODO state changes can be restricted to
|
|
|
+ selected states.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The format in which dates are shown in the daily/weekly
|
|
|
+ agenda can be configured.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The default for `org-remember-store-without-prompt' is now t.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `org-goto' has been made into a general lookup command.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Priority cycling goes back to the nil state.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can store a remember note to the *last used* location.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - On Emacs 23, the headline faces for org-mode are now
|
|
|
+ inherited from the outline faces.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible Changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The default for `org-remember-store-without-prompt' is now
|
|
|
+ t, in order to better match the original intent of
|
|
|
+ remember.el (storing a note with minimum interruption of
|
|
|
+ work flow). I expect that many people will be hit by this
|
|
|
+ incompatible change - nevertheless I believe it is the right
|
|
|
+ thing to do.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now select specific states for recording a note when
|
|
|
+ switching to that state. With the setting
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) ORDERED(o@) INVOICE(i@) PAYED(p) | RECEIVED(r)
|
|
|
+ : #+STARTUP: lognotestate
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ only the states ORDERED and INVOICE will record a timestamp
|
|
|
+ and a note.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now set the format of the string for each day in the
|
|
|
+ agenda and timeline buffers. You can use a format string
|
|
|
+ interpreted by `format-time-string', or you can write your
|
|
|
+ own function. Configure the new variable
|
|
|
+ `org-agenda-format-date'. Thanks to Levin for triggering
|
|
|
+ this development with a patch.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The default for `org-remember-store-without-prompt' is now
|
|
|
+ t, in order to better match the original intent of
|
|
|
+ remember.el (storing a note with minimum interruption of
|
|
|
+ work flow). Since we can assign files and headlines to
|
|
|
+ templates, I guess this takes care of selecting a filing
|
|
|
+ location in most cases. For interactive filing, you now
|
|
|
+ need a prefix command when exiting `remember'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `org-goto' (bound to `C-c C-j') now uses an indirect buffer
|
|
|
+ and has additional commands enabled: Org-occur with `C-c /'
|
|
|
+ or even faster with `/', and the commands needed to select
|
|
|
+ and copy a region. This make `org-goto' a more general
|
|
|
+ lookup command instead of only a jumping command. Remember
|
|
|
+ that you can exit with `Q' to go back to the original
|
|
|
+ location. Thanks to William Henney for this idea.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Setting the priority with S-up/down now cycles back to a
|
|
|
+ state where no priority is specified. This was requested by
|
|
|
+ Rick Moynihan.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can store a remember note to the *last used* location.
|
|
|
+ So if you select a location interactively once, you can
|
|
|
+ re-use it without having to find it again. For this, exit
|
|
|
+ the remember buffer with `C-u C-u C-c C-c'. The leading
|
|
|
+ comment in the remember buffer will tell exactly where the
|
|
|
+ note goes if you exit with a particular command.
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Maxim Loginov for this idea.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - On Emacs 23, the headline faces for org-mode are now
|
|
|
+ inherited from the outline faces. This is just a
|
|
|
+ convenience, so that you only have to configure one set of
|
|
|
+ faces, and that will then be outline-1 .. outline-8. You
|
|
|
+ will actually not see any difference in org-mode, because
|
|
|
+ Stefan Monnier has made the outline faces in Emacs 23 to
|
|
|
+ match the current org-mode faces.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This change does not effect XEmacs, nor Emacs 21 and 22.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.08
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The default for `org-deadline-warning-days' is now 14.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - There is now a separate interface for fast and directly
|
|
|
+ setting a TODO keyword. This interface kicks in when you
|
|
|
+ have configured keys for TODO keywords like
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | DONE(d) CANCELED(c)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ C-c C-t still does the cycling thing, you need to use a
|
|
|
+ prefix argument to get to the fast interface. Or configure
|
|
|
+ the variable `org-use-fast-todo-selection' to t, then this
|
|
|
+ will be the default and the prefix argument will make the
|
|
|
+ command fall back to cycling.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The tag selection no longer does include TODO keywords -
|
|
|
+ Leo's arguments have convinced me that this is not a good
|
|
|
+ idea. If you'd like to see the TODO keywords in the tags
|
|
|
+ interface anyway, set the variable
|
|
|
+ `org-fast-tag-selection-include-todo'. Thanks to Leo and
|
|
|
+ others for input on this issue.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-edit-timestamp-down-means-later'. When
|
|
|
+ set, `S-down' on a timestamp will change the timestamp to
|
|
|
+ later. Thanks to Raman for this idea.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Property names can now contain non-ascii word characters.
|
|
|
+ This follows a request from Daniel Clemente.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - For export, the date that should be given in the exported
|
|
|
+ file can now be set to a specific value with a line like
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : #+DATE: 15 November 2003
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ If you want to use the date/time when the file was created,
|
|
|
+ use a format string that will be interpreted by
|
|
|
+ `format-time-string', for example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : #+DATE: %Y/%m/%d %X
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The default of `org-deadline-warning-days' has changed to 14
|
|
|
+ days. 30 was really too much, I suspect most people (me
|
|
|
+ included) have changed this.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When a deadline has an individual lead time, this lead time
|
|
|
+ obviously overrules `org-deadline-warning-days'. However,
|
|
|
+ if you bind `org-deadline-warning-days' to a number <=0, for
|
|
|
+ example during a custom agenda command, then the absolute
|
|
|
+ value of this number will be enforced also when a different
|
|
|
+ lead time has been specified. This is useful to get a list
|
|
|
+ of all deadlines coming up in the next N days.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.07
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Different faces for different TODO keywords.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Setting TODO states through the TAG setting interface.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Context information is stored when moving a tree to the archive.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Sorting can be done by priority.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `Org-ellipsis' can now also be a face.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Scheduling info is no longer removed entry is marked CLOSED.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Unavailable files in `org-agenda-files' can be skipped.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The time of archiving is now stored as a property.
|
|
|
+ ARCHIVED is no longer a special time keyword.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Scheduling info is no longer removed entry is marked CLOSED.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now define different faces for different TODO
|
|
|
+ keywords. This request has come up frequently, so here it
|
|
|
+ is: Use the variable `org-todo-keyword-faces'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ A Here is a configuration example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : (setq org-todo-keyword-faces
|
|
|
+ : '(("TODO" . org-warning)
|
|
|
+ : ("DEFERRED" . shadow)
|
|
|
+ : ("CANCELED" . (:foreground "blue" :weight bold
|
|
|
+ : :underline t))))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Org-mode continue still use `org-todo' and `org-done' for
|
|
|
+ keywords that have no specific face assigned.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Some People use TODO states more like tags. For them the
|
|
|
+ TODO keywords mark special states and they like to quickly
|
|
|
+ switch between states in arbitrary sequence. The standard
|
|
|
+ TODO interface is not perfect for this, because it assumes
|
|
|
+ that the states are reached in sequence. However, the fast
|
|
|
+ tag setting interface is in fact perfect for this. You can
|
|
|
+ now "misuse" the TAG selection interface to also set TODO
|
|
|
+ states. All you need to do is to assign keys to the TODO
|
|
|
+ states, just like you also do for tags.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | CANCELED(c) DONE(d)
|
|
|
+ : #+TAGS: @HOME(h) @OFFICE(o) @SHOP(s)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Next time you try to set tags with C-c C-c, the todo states
|
|
|
+ will be offered as well, and the corresponding key will
|
|
|
+ switch the entry to that state.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-archive-save-context-info' governs if
|
|
|
+ information that would be lost by moving a subtree to the
|
|
|
+ archive file, should be stored as special properties. For
|
|
|
+ example,
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : (setq org-archive-save-context-info '(itags category))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ will store the inherited tags and the category in properties
|
|
|
+ ARCHIVE_ITAGS and ARCHIVE_CATEGORY, respectively. The
|
|
|
+ default setting for this variable is to save everything that
|
|
|
+ could be lost. This was a proposal by John Wiegley.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Sorting (`C-c ^') can use the use the priority to sort. Use
|
|
|
+ the "p" and "P" keys at the prompt. John Wiegley, again.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `Org-ellipsis' can now also be a face to make the folding
|
|
|
+ ellipsis more visible. This is based on a post by Tassilo
|
|
|
+ Horn. Since `org-ellipsis' only works in Org-mode, you
|
|
|
+ might want to use Tassilo Horn's hack directly in order to
|
|
|
+ affect the folding ellipsis globally.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Scheduling info is no longer removed when an entry is marked
|
|
|
+ CLOSED. This was a request by Brian van den Broek. Let me
|
|
|
+ know if this breaks anything for you - then it will become
|
|
|
+ an option.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New option `org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files'. Currently,
|
|
|
+ if a file does not exist, it will be removed from
|
|
|
+ `org-agenda-files' after a query. When this option is set,
|
|
|
+ the file will simply be skipped.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.06
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When exporting only a region and this region is a single
|
|
|
+ (sub)tree (for example selected with `C-c @'), the title for
|
|
|
+ the exported document is taken to be the heading of the
|
|
|
+ subtree. The sublevels become top-level entries in the
|
|
|
+ export. Furthermore, if the head entry of the tree has or
|
|
|
+ inherits an EXPORT_FILE_NAME property, that file name (with
|
|
|
+ appropriately substituted extension) will be used for the
|
|
|
+ exported tree. Thanks to Patrick Drechsler and Jost Burkart
|
|
|
+ for these ideas.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - org-special-ctrl-a/e has a third allowed value, `reversed'.
|
|
|
+ When it is set to this value, the first C-a or C-e command
|
|
|
+ behaves normally, i.e. it goes to the true beginning or end
|
|
|
+ of the line. Only when you press C-a or C-e immediately
|
|
|
+ again, the the "special" position will be found. Additional
|
|
|
+ presses of the same key jump between the two positions. I
|
|
|
+ like this a lot better than the `t' setting, because now the
|
|
|
+ keys behave more predictable and still give easy access to
|
|
|
+ the special locations.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New command to set or remove a tag from all headlines in a
|
|
|
+ region.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When Org-mode visits a file, it will initially hide all
|
|
|
+ drawers.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The default of the variable `org-cycle-global-at-bob' is now
|
|
|
+ nil, meaning that TAB no longer does global visibility
|
|
|
+ cycling at the beginning of the buffer.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes, in particular the problems with scheduling and
|
|
|
+ deadlines introduced in 5.05. Please check carefully if
|
|
|
+ this works correctly again, and complain if not.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.05
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - LaTeX export, finally, thanks to Bastien.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Extension mechanism for the hyperlink system.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Global access to commands inserting and following links.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Individual lead-times for deadlines.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Option to show only the next instance of repeating timestamp.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Store remember notes with only 2 keys: C-c C-c
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Appointment reminders from Org-mode.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Global values for selected properties.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bastien's `org-export-latex.el' is now part of the org-mode
|
|
|
+ distribution. You can export an Org-mode document to a
|
|
|
+ LaTeX file with `C-c C-e l'. For more options, see the
|
|
|
+ manual, and the commentary in the Lisp file. Kudos to
|
|
|
+ Bastien for contributing this frequently requested feature.
|
|
|
+ I am sure this has been tough because of the many different
|
|
|
+ ways I have been allowing LaTeX snippets and environments to
|
|
|
+ be incorporated in lazy free-format ways.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Org-mode has now an extension mechanism for the hyperlink
|
|
|
+ system. This should clear the road for all those mairix and
|
|
|
+ other ideas that have been floating around. Now it is on
|
|
|
+ *you* to write and share new link types for Org-mode. The
|
|
|
+ interface for adding a new link type is described in the
|
|
|
+ appendix of the manual, section A2. The unsolved problem is
|
|
|
+ currently how to handle the new link types for
|
|
|
+ export/publishing.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New *global* commands `org-open-at-point-global' and
|
|
|
+ `org-insert-link-global'. You can bind these commands to
|
|
|
+ global keys and use them to insert and follow Org-mode-like
|
|
|
+ links anywhere in Emacs. Thanks to Adam Spiers for this
|
|
|
+ excellent idea.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Each deadline timestamp may now specify its own interval of
|
|
|
+ lead-time display, given in days, weeks, months or years.
|
|
|
+ The syntax is like this
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : DEADLINE: <2007-08-13 Mon -5d>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ When combined with a repeater, the repeater has to come
|
|
|
+ first:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : DEADLINE: <2007-08-13 Mon +2w -5d>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ You may now also customize the faces that are used in the
|
|
|
+ agenda to indicate the distance of an approaching deadline.
|
|
|
+ See the new option `org-agenda-deadline-faces'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Pavel Chalmoviansky and John Wiegley proposals in
|
|
|
+ this direction.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New option `org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all'. When
|
|
|
+ set to nil, repeating time stamps will only show up once in
|
|
|
+ the agenda, either today or in the near future. Other
|
|
|
+ matches will be ignored. Thanks to John Wiegley for this
|
|
|
+ proposal.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-remember-store-without-prompt'. When set,
|
|
|
+ exiting the remember buffer with C-c C-c will store the note
|
|
|
+ without further prompts to the default location, and `C-u
|
|
|
+ C-c C-c' will get the prompts for file and location. So
|
|
|
+ this variable reverses the prefix-argument functionality for
|
|
|
+ storing remember notes. This follows a request from John
|
|
|
+ Wiegley.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A new function `org-agenda-to-appt' activates all
|
|
|
+ appointments for the current day so that Emacs will display
|
|
|
+ reminders. This uses appt.el. Thanks to Bastien for this
|
|
|
+ function.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now set default values for properties that can be
|
|
|
+ inherited by all entries in a buffer, or by all entries
|
|
|
+ globally. Global properties are set in the variable
|
|
|
+ `org-global-properties', like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ (setq org-global-properties '(("NAME" "This is the value")))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Buffer-local values are set like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ #+PROPERTY: NAME This is the value
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ When using org-entry-get to get the value of a property with
|
|
|
+ the `inherit' flag and the hierarchy above the entry does
|
|
|
+ not contain this property, the buffer-local and global lists
|
|
|
+ are checked as well. This is mostly useful (I think) to set
|
|
|
+ the list of allowed values for a property. Thanks to Bernt
|
|
|
+ Hansen and Bastien for these ideas.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.04
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variables `org-export-author-info' and
|
|
|
+ `org-export-time-stamp-file' to turn off inclusion of author
|
|
|
+ and time information into exported files. Thank to Patrick
|
|
|
+ Drechsler for pointing out that this would be useful.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable to avoid moving DEADLINE and SCHEDULED info
|
|
|
+ into the property drawer. The default is now to not move
|
|
|
+ this stuff into the drawer.
|
|
|
+ `org-insert-labeled-timestamps-before-properties-drawer'
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `org-archive-mark-done' can be a string now, to select a
|
|
|
+ specific keyword that should be used for archived entries.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New command "j" in agenda to jump to an arbitrary date.
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Bernt Hansen for the patch.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Lots of minor fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.03
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible Changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-special-ctrl-a' has been renamed to
|
|
|
+ `org-special-ctrl-a/e'. The old one is still an alias (but
|
|
|
+ not on Emacs 21 where variable aliases cannot be defined).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When the variable `org-special-ctrl-a/e' is set, C-e in a
|
|
|
+ headline first goes to the end of the headline ignoring the
|
|
|
+ tags. A second C-e then goes to after the tags.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Typing and removing single characters in a headline now
|
|
|
+ keeps the tags in the headline aligned. This could have a
|
|
|
+ little impact on performance while deleting stuff - let me
|
|
|
+ know if we need to make this customizable.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New option `org-n-level-faces' can be used to set the number
|
|
|
+ of different faces that are used for headlines. Default is
|
|
|
+ all 8 faces Org-mode defines for this purpose, level 9 uses
|
|
|
+ again the level-1 face. However, you can use fewer, and then
|
|
|
+ the level-1 face will be reused already for level N+1, etc.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Column View and hidestars now work together.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.02
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The interfaces for properties and column view are finished
|
|
|
+ now and work well.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Properties can be summaries, i.e. the parent nodes can
|
|
|
+ compute their value from the children's values.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Headlines finally require a space ofter the star(s). The
|
|
|
+ conflict with bold text at the beginning of the line is no
|
|
|
+ longer there.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible Changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bad news. It looks like it is going to be really hard to
|
|
|
+ make column view work on XEmacs and on Emacs 21. Emacs 22
|
|
|
+ is currently the only Emacs where this works. If you are
|
|
|
+ using Emacs 21 or XEmacs, you can still use properties, but
|
|
|
+ not column view.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Improvements for properties:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + There are interactive commands to insert and delete
|
|
|
+ properties. Read the manual chapter 7 for details.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + You can define /allowed values/ for a property. When
|
|
|
+ these are defined, you can change the value of a property
|
|
|
+ with S-left and S-right. And you may use completion when
|
|
|
+ inserting the property. This goes a long way to prevent
|
|
|
+ typos when entering properties.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Improvements for column view.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + In column view, you may use the keys S-left/right (and
|
|
|
+ also the keys `n' and `p') to switch from one allowed
|
|
|
+ value to the next.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + You can define summaries for columns. For example,
|
|
|
+ parents can contain the sum of all children values of a
|
|
|
+ property, or the parent node can have a check box property
|
|
|
+ that is automatically checked when all children's boxes are
|
|
|
+ checked.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + There are interactive commands to add and remove columns,
|
|
|
+ and to change the attributes of a column like the summary
|
|
|
+ type.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ These additions lead to the exciting fact that the example
|
|
|
+ from [[http://www.omnigroup.com/images/applications/omnioutliner/features/multicolumn.jpg][omni outliner]] posted by Scott Jaderholm can now be
|
|
|
+ accurately [[file:omni-org.jpg][reproduced by Org-mode]].
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The space after the stars is now required in a headline, in
|
|
|
+ order to remove the conflict with bold words at the
|
|
|
+ beginning of a line. So
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : * This is a level 1 headline
|
|
|
+ : *this is bold text*
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - S-up and S-down to navigate plain item lists are now also
|
|
|
+ available in orgstruct-mode.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 5.01
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A new minor mode, orgstruct-mode, exports the Org-mode
|
|
|
+ structure editing commands into any other mode.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - DRAWERS are a new level off folding for special sections
|
|
|
+ that should stay closed during visibility cycling and only
|
|
|
+ open if explicitly asked.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Entries can now have PROPERTIES.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A COLUMN VIEW implementation allows to easily view and edit
|
|
|
+ the properties of a hierarchy of entries (Emacs only, for
|
|
|
+ now).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Formula evaluation in the spreadsheet is more consistent
|
|
|
+ now. Properties and per-file constants can be used during
|
|
|
+ evaluation.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes and minor changes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When using LEVEL=N in a tags search, things have changed if
|
|
|
+ you are also using `org-odd-levels-only'. If you are using
|
|
|
+ only odd levels (i.e. 1 or 3 or 5... stars), LEVEL=2 will
|
|
|
+ now refer to 3 stars, LEVEL=3 to 5 stars etc. Many thanks
|
|
|
+ to Leo (or blame on him if you must) who has convinced me
|
|
|
+ that this is the better convention.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Orgstruct minor mode
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ There is a new minor mode, orgstruct-mode. This modes works
|
|
|
+ in a similar way as Orgtbl-mode. It can be used to export
|
|
|
+ the Org-mode structure-editing commands into arbitrary major
|
|
|
+ modes in Emacs. For example, you can use it in Mail-mode to
|
|
|
+ easily create lists.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The functionality in Orgstruct mode is only active, if the
|
|
|
+ cursor is in a line that looks either like a headline, or
|
|
|
+ like the first line of a plain list item. Then the commands
|
|
|
+ `TAB', `M-cursor', `M-S-cursor', `M-RET', `M-S-RET', `C-c ^',
|
|
|
+ `C-c C-c', and `C-c -' will do structure-related editing just
|
|
|
+ like in Org-mode. If the cursor is not in such a line, all
|
|
|
+ these keys will do whatever the major mode or other active
|
|
|
+ minor modes have assigned to them.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Orgstruct-mode is the result of a proposal by Raman, quite
|
|
|
+ some time ago. It has taken a long time, but here is finally
|
|
|
+ the promised implementation.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Drawers
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The new concept of /drawers/ allows to create sections
|
|
|
+ that remain folded during visibility cycling. Drawers need
|
|
|
+ to be configured using the variable `org-drawers'. A drawer
|
|
|
+ starts with a line containing only the name of the drawer
|
|
|
+ bracketed by colons. It ends with :END:. For example,
|
|
|
+ after setting
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : (setq org-drawers '("PROPERTIES" "HIDDEN"))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ you can then create drawers like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : :HIDDEN:
|
|
|
+ : here is some stuff that remains hidden
|
|
|
+ : unless TAB is pressed directly in that line
|
|
|
+ : :END:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The PROPERTIES drawer has special meaning for ORG-mode, it
|
|
|
+ contains properties of an entry (see below).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Properties and Column View
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Entries in Org-mode can now have arbitrary /properties/
|
|
|
+ associated with them. Org-mode handles some default
|
|
|
+ properties like the TODO state, the priority, the local
|
|
|
+ tags, and planning information like DEADLINE and SCHEDULED.
|
|
|
+ In addition, you can assign arbitrary properties by creating
|
|
|
+ a property drawer and inserting a line like
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : :PROPNAME: This is the value of the property
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Org-mode has an API for properties, if you want to write a
|
|
|
+ program using properties, use the functions
|
|
|
+ `org-entry-properties', `org-entry-get', `org-entry-put',
|
|
|
+ and `org-entry-delete'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Planning information like DEADLINE can be hidden in the
|
|
|
+ properties drawer.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ If the PROPERTIES drawer starts in the first line after a
|
|
|
+ headline, also the DEADLINE, SCHEDULED and CLOCK information
|
|
|
+ will be inserted inside the drawer. If no PROPERTIES drawer
|
|
|
+ is present, or if it does not start in the line right after
|
|
|
+ the headline, this information remains in the lines directly
|
|
|
+ after the headline, outside the drawer.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - TAGS searches can now also query properties. For example,
|
|
|
+ the search
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : LEVEL=3+BOSS+ASSIGNED="Hans"/WAITING
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ will find entries that
|
|
|
+ - are level 3
|
|
|
+ - have the tag BOSS
|
|
|
+ - have an ASSIGNED property with the value "Hans"
|
|
|
+ - are TODO status WAITING.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ So here is an entry that will match:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : *** WAITING Clean up the factory :BOSS:
|
|
|
+ : :PROPERTIES:
|
|
|
+ : :ASSIGNED: Hans
|
|
|
+ : :END:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ You may also use a regular expression to match against a
|
|
|
+ property value. For example, to find stuff assigned to Hans
|
|
|
+ or Sarah, use
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : ASSIGNED={^\(Hans\|Sarah\)$}
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Column View is a special way to look at property values in
|
|
|
+ tabular form. Column View can be used in any org-mode
|
|
|
+ file, and also in any agenda buffer. It works by placing
|
|
|
+ an overlay over each headline (or agenda line) that shows a
|
|
|
+ table of selected properties. You can look at and edit
|
|
|
+ properties from this view. Which properties are shown in
|
|
|
+ the table must be set up using the COLUMNS property. You
|
|
|
+ can set up different property columns on different levels
|
|
|
+ of an outline tree. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : * People
|
|
|
+ : :PROPERTIES:
|
|
|
+ : :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name
|
|
|
+ : :END:
|
|
|
+ : ** Family
|
|
|
+ : :PROPERTIES:
|
|
|
+ : :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %3Age
|
|
|
+ : :END:
|
|
|
+ : *** Sam
|
|
|
+ : Info about Sam, including a property list with Name and Age.
|
|
|
+ : *** Sarah
|
|
|
+ : Info about Sarah, including a property list with Name and Age.
|
|
|
+ : ** Office
|
|
|
+ : :PROPERTIES:
|
|
|
+ : :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %Function %Salary
|
|
|
+ : :END:
|
|
|
+ : *** Boss
|
|
|
+ : Info about the Boss, including a property list with Name,
|
|
|
+ : Function and Salary (if only we knew....).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Now we have defined three different sets of columns. If
|
|
|
+ you switch to column view in the /Family/ section, you
|
|
|
+ will get a different table than if you do it in the
|
|
|
+ /Office/ section. However, if you switch to column
|
|
|
+ view with the cursor on the /People/ section, the
|
|
|
+ table will cover all entries, but contain only the
|
|
|
+ /Name/.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Column view does, for the time being, only work on Emacs.
|
|
|
+ The XEmacs implementation needs a bit of work.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Properties can be used in table formulas. To access the
|
|
|
+ value of the property :XYZ:, use $PROP_XYZ. The property
|
|
|
+ needs to be defined in the hierarchy above the table, not
|
|
|
+ necessarily in the same entry as the table. This was a
|
|
|
+ request by Eddward. File-wide constants can be defined with
|
|
|
+ #+CONSTANTS, see below.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Things that still need to be sorted out about drawers,
|
|
|
+ properties and column view - comments and suggestions
|
|
|
+ welcome!
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + How to deal with drawers and properties in HTML and ASCII
|
|
|
+ export?
|
|
|
+ + What key could be used to insert an empty property drawer
|
|
|
+ into an entry?
|
|
|
+ + Right now column view is invoked through the command C-c
|
|
|
+ C-x C-c. It is too easy to type C-x C-c by mistake, and
|
|
|
+ that causes Emacs to quit. Suggestions for a different
|
|
|
+ key?
|
|
|
+ + Fontification of drawers and properties is not good yet.
|
|
|
+ Any suggestions for better defaults?
|
|
|
+ + Mouse support for editing properties in column view would
|
|
|
+ be nice - maybe Piotr is interested to add this to
|
|
|
+ org-mouse.el?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Spreadsheet
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - In the spreadsheet, the evaluation of formulas has changed.
|
|
|
+ Previously, first the column formulas would be evaluated
|
|
|
+ everywhere, and then the field formulas would kick in, and
|
|
|
+ in some cases overwrite the results of column formulas in
|
|
|
+ the appropriate fields. This had the side effect that some
|
|
|
+ formulas might always use the wrong, intermediate content of
|
|
|
+ a field that is computed both by a column and a field
|
|
|
+ formula.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ From now on, column formulas will no longer temporarily
|
|
|
+ overwrite field formulas. This gives much more consistent
|
|
|
+ results. For example you can now finally have a column of
|
|
|
+ increasing numbers by setting the first field to a fixed
|
|
|
+ number, and let the rest follow from a column formula.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Here is an example
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : | 1 |
|
|
|
+ : | 2 |
|
|
|
+ : | 3 |
|
|
|
+ : #+TBLFM: $1=@-1+1::@1$1=1
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Constants for formulas in spreadsheets are globally defined
|
|
|
+ with the variable `org-table-formula-constants'. File-local
|
|
|
+ constants can now be set with a line like:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : #+CONSTANTS: c=299792458. pi=3.14 eps=2.4e-6
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+*** Minor changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When entries are archived, a timestamp for the moment of
|
|
|
+ archiving is added to the line with planning information.
|
|
|
+ It looks like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : ARCHIVED: [2007-07-02 Mon 11:34]
|

|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Many bugs are fixed, as usually all the ones where I replied
|
|
|
+ "fixed" on emacs-orgmode. If you reported one of these
|
|
|
+ bugs, please check if it really has disappeared in the new
|
|
|
+ version, and complain if not. Thanks!

|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.79
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - We are back to a single file org.el that works both on Emacs
|
|
|
+ and on XEmacs. Merging comes at a speed penalty for you as
|
|
|
+ an XEmacs user, but *only if you do not compile* org.el.
|
|
|
+ Compilation completely removes the penalty.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New L flag for literal interpolation in Lisp formulas.
|
|
|
+ See manual section 3.5.3.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New options for turning off footnotes.
|
|
|
+ This was a request from Ignotus.
|
|
|
+ See the option `org-export-with-footnotes'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Default length for Agenda entries, but this is off by
|
|
|
+ default. This was a request from Micheal.
|
|
|
+ See the option `org-agenda-default-appointment-duration'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + org-agenda-date-later (Juraj Kubelka)
|
|
|
+ + letters off margin in orgcard.ps (Charles Cave)
|
|
|
+ + TODO export problems on XEmacs (ignotus@freemail.hu)
|
|
|
+ + args-out-of-range with table formulas (Cecil Westerhof)
|
|
|
+ + problem with org-file without a heading (Tim O'Callaghan)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.78
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Time stamps with a time range *included*, like
|
|
|
+ : <2007-06-18 Mon 17:33-18:23>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Clock times without clocking in/out: CLOCK: => 2:00
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Language-specific characters allowed in TAGS (Emacs only).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Promotion and demotion of items gets the indentation right.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Indenting lines with TAB is more intelligent.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - There is now a special version of `org.el' for XEmacs.
|
|
|
+ Before installation, as an XEmacs user you must rename the
|
|
|
+ file org_xemacs.el to org.el, i.e. you must overwrite org.el
|
|
|
+ with the xemacs version. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : mv org_xemacs.el org.el
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This is necessary so that I can make use of some features
|
|
|
+ that would be cumbersome to support in a single file. The
|
|
|
+ XEmacs version is derived from the Emacs version with a
|
|
|
+ program, so no reason to fear that I might be dropping
|
|
|
+ XEmacs support any time soon. Sorry for the trouble.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A time stamp may now contain a range of times. So you no
|
|
|
+ longer need to use two separate stamps to indicate a time
|
|
|
+ interval on a single day. For example
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : <2007-06-18 Mon 17:30-18:20>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This is now fully supported, including changing the time
|
|
|
+ with S-up/down while the cursor is on the end time. Also,
|
|
|
+ da the date/time prompt, you can simply write your time like
|
|
|
+ 12:00-14:00 and the range will be inserted.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This was proposed by Leo some time ago, and recently by
|
|
|
+ Michael.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You may specify clocking times by hand (i.e. without
|
|
|
+ clocking in and out) using this syntax.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : CLOCK: => 2:00
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Scott Jaderholm for this proposal.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - TAGS may now contain language-specific word characters, as
|
|
|
+ long as they are matched by the "[:alnum:]" regexp syntax.
|
|
|
+ This is for Emacs only, the XEmacs version continues to use
|
|
|
+ the character class "a-zA-Z0-9_@" for tag names. Thanks to
|
|
|
+ David Smith for a patch to this effect (a modified version
|
|
|
+ of that patch was applied). I am considering to make the
|
|
|
+ same change for TODO keywords, but not yet. Note that files
|
|
|
+ using localization features may not work correctly in the
|
|
|
+ Emacs configuration of another user, so if you are sharing
|
|
|
+ org-mode files with other users, it might still be best to
|
|
|
+ stick to the ASCII characters.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Promotion and demotion of plain list items (commands M-left,
|
|
|
+ M-right) no longer changes the indentation by just one
|
|
|
+ space. Instead, it uses intelligence gathered from the
|
|
|
+ surrounding list structure to do the right thing. Thanks to
|
|
|
+ William Henney for starting the discussion about this.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - TAB does now a better job of indenting lines.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + After tables and code segments (lines starting with ":"),
|
|
|
+ indentation goes back to what it was before (thanks to
|
|
|
+ William Henney for suggesting this behavior).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + When plain lists items are involved, we had a long
|
|
|
+ discussion on emacs-orgmode where I tried to show that a
|
|
|
+ too-sophisticated implementation will still be easily
|
|
|
+ fooled. Here is what I have implemented now - lets see
|
|
|
+ if we can agree on this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Indentation will flatten lists with the same bullet type,
|
|
|
+ but indent another bullet type further. The time when
|
|
|
+ this fails is in a nested list, when you want to get back
|
|
|
+ out to a previous level. For example
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : - item 1
|
|
|
+ : - item 2
|
|
|
+ : + item 2a
|
|
|
+ : + item 2b
|
|
|
+ : - item 3
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ When using TAB on every line in this list, the structure
|
|
|
+ will change to
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : - item 1
|
|
|
+ : - item 2
|
|
|
+ : + item 2a
|
|
|
+ : + item 2b
|
|
|
+ : - item 3
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ So you need to change the level of the last line by hand,
|
|
|
+ using promotion and demotion functions.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.77
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Vertical lines in exported tables.
|
|
|
+ - New default for `org-show-following-heading'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The default for `org-show-following-heading' is now nil.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now specify column groups in tables, to the effect
|
|
|
+ that the groups will be separated by vertical lines in HTML
|
|
|
+ and ASCII output. Column groups are specified by the
|
|
|
+ characters "<" and ">" in a special table row. "<" starts a
|
|
|
+ group, ">" ends a group (in each case including the the
|
|
|
+ column where the character is specified). You may also use
|
|
|
+ "<>" to make a group a single column wide. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+: | | N | N^2 | N^3 | N^4 | sqrt(n) | sqrt[4](N) |
|
|
|
+: |---+----+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
|
|
|
+: | / | <> | < | | > | < | > |
|
|
|
+: | # | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
|
|
|
+: | # | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 1.4142 | 1.1892 |
|
|
|
+: | # | 3 | 9 | 27 | 81 | 1.7321 | 1.3161 |
|
|
|
+: #+TBLFM: $3=$2^2::$4=$2^3::$5=$2^4::$6=sqrt($2)::$7=sqrt(sqrt(($2))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ A table row with with nothing but "/" in the first field is
|
|
|
+ never exported, but can be used to place column group
|
|
|
+ information into the table. In this table, we create a
|
|
|
+ group for column 2, one for columns 3-5 and one for columns
|
|
|
+ 6-7. HTML export will render a vertical line between these
|
|
|
+ groups.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Because HTML does not require closing <colgroup> tags with
|
|
|
+ </colgroup>), you can also simply start a new column
|
|
|
+ wherever you want a vertical line:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+: | N | N^2 | N^3 | N^4 | sqrt(n) | sqrt[4](N0 |
|
|
|
+: |---+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
|
|
|
+: | / | < | < | | < | |
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Vertical lines are now also omitted in ASCII export, unless
|
|
|
+ grouping explicitly requests these lines.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The default for `org-show-following-heading' is now nil,
|
|
|
+ meaning that sparse trees will be more compact. This has
|
|
|
+ become possible due to in important remark by Jason Dunsmore
|
|
|
+ who pointed out that TAB should behave differently in the
|
|
|
+ inconsistent trees produced by the sparse tree commands.
|
|
|
+ TAB does now make sure that the heading after a freshly
|
|
|
+ unfolded tree is made visible at all, removing the confusing
|
|
|
+ behavior we had before.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Several bugs fixed. In particular:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + Strings produced by agenda batch processing with
|
|
|
+ `org-batch-agenda' and `org-batch-agenda-csv' are now
|
|
|
+ properly encoded, so that you should be able to use
|
|
|
+ special characters in other languages as along as your
|
|
|
+ post-processing program handles them correctly. At least
|
|
|
+ for Emacs this should work now, but have not yet figured
|
|
|
+ out how to do this in XEmacs.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.76
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Exporting Footnotes to HTML
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Footnotes like =here[1]= are now exported to HTML
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ : [1]This is a footnote
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Scott Jaderholm for this proposal and a detailed
|
|
|
+ HTML example on how the exported text should look like.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Special version of the reference card, for letter paper.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Switching to OVERVIEW with S-TAB no loner moves the cursor,
|
|
|
+ so after three `S-TAB' commands, you will be back where you
|
|
|
+ started.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes, lots of them again.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.75
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Cyclic time stamps that repeat after an interval.
|
|
|
+ - Special timestamps for appointments like "every 2nd Thursday
|
|
|
+ in a month".
|
|
|
+ - Completion of link abbreviation prefixes inside `C-c C-l'.
|
|
|
+ - Replacing a region of org-mode syntax with HTML.
|
|
|
+ - iCalendar export now honors ARCHIVE etc.
|
|
|
+ - New command to add/change emphasis markers.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible Changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The REPEAT(...) cookie is no longer supported, the repeater
|
|
|
+ interval now goes directly into the time stamp.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Time stamps can contain a repeater code, like +1w for once
|
|
|
+ every week, +2d for every two days, etc. For example,
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <2007-05-16 Wed 12:30 +1w>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ will apply to every Wednesday, starting from the date given.
|
|
|
+ I believe this syntax was actually suggested by someone on
|
|
|
+ the mailing list, but I cannot find the email back. To
|
|
|
+ collect your credit, let me know!
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can use an sexp diary entry (with the syntax used by the
|
|
|
+ Emacs calendar/diary) in a time stamp, like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ *** The nerd club meets on 2nd Thursday of every month
|
|
|
+ <%%(diary-float t 4 2)>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can put diary-style sexp entries directly into an
|
|
|
+ org-mode file, where they will be interpreted just like they
|
|
|
+ would in the diary. For example
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ * Birthdays and similar stuff
|
|
|
+ #+CATEGORY: Holiday
|
|
|
+ %%(org-calendar-holiday) ; special function for holiday names
|
|
|
+ #+CATEGORY: Ann
|
|
|
+ %%(diary-anniversary 14 5 1956) Artur Dent %d is years old
|

+ %%(diary-anniversary 2 10 1869) Mahatma Gandhi
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ These entries must start at column 0 to be evaluated.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ It turns out that evaluating the entries in an org-mode file
|
|
|
+ is actually faster than in the diary itself, because using
|
|
|
+ the diary has some overhead (creating fancy diary display,
|
|
|
+ then reading and re-interpreting the entries). I have moved
|
|
|
+ all the sexp entries from my diary into an org-mode file,
|
|
|
+ put in a few categories, and then turned off
|
|
|
+ `org-agenda-include-diary'. This has led to a noticeably
|
|
|
+ faster agenda display.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New command `org-replace-region-by-html' that converts the
|
|
|
+ current region from org-mode syntax into HTML. For example,
|
|
|
+ you might write an itemized list in plain text in an HTML
|
|
|
+ buffer, and then invoke this command to convert it. Thanks
|
|
|
+ to Raman for this idea.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When inserting a link with `C-c C-l', completion will now
|
|
|
+ fill in all valid link prefixes, like http or ftp, but also
|
|
|
+ link abbreviation prefixes. This is based on an idea by
|
|
|
+ Bastien.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Highest, lowest, and default priority can be set on a
|
|
|
+ per-file basis with #+PRIORITIES: H L D
|
|
|
+ For example, to use priorities from 1 to 9, you could use
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ #+PRIORITIES: 1 9 9
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Dmitri Minaev for a patch to this effect.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - iCalendar export now honors (i.e. skips) subtrees marked as
|
|
|
+ ARCHIVE, COMMENT, or QUOTE.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - There is a new command to add or change the emphasis (like
|
|
|
+ bold or italic) of a piece of text. For lack of better
|
|
|
+ available keys the command is at `C-c C-x C-f', but you may
|
|
|
+ well want to choose a more convenient key like `C-c f' in
|
|
|
+ your private setup:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ (add-hook 'org-load-hook
|
|
|
+ (lambda () (define-key org-mode-map "\C-cf" 'org-emphasize)))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The command will prompt for an emphasis type, and you may
|
|
|
+ reply either with the marker that triggers the emphasis, or
|
|
|
+ with the first letter of the corresponding HTML tag. For
|
|
|
+ example, to select italic, press either "/" or "i".
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ If there is an active region, the emphasis of this region
|
|
|
+ will be set or changed. If there is no region, only the
|
|
|
+ emphasis markers will be inserted and the cursor positioned
|
|
|
+ between them. Thanks to Bastien for proposing this feature.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes, everything where I have replied "fixed" on the
|
|
|
+ mailing list. Thanks to all of you for keeping these reports
|
|
|
+ coming.

|
|
+* Version 4.74
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This release is about exporting agenda views, to HTML, to
|
|
|
+ postscript for printing, and to a special format (CSV) for
|
|
|
+ further processing in scripts.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible Changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-agenda-remove-tags-when-in-prefix' has
|
|
|
+ been renamed to `org-agenda-remove-tags'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Agenda views can be exported as plain text, as HTML, and as
|
|
|
+ Postscript(R). This can simply be done from the agenda
|
|
|
+ buffer with `C-x C-w' and then specifying a filename like
|
|
|
+ `myagenda.html' or `myagenda.ps'. See section 8.6.4 of the
|
|
|
+ manual.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Each custom agenda view can specify a list of associated
|
|
|
+ files names. The command `C-c a e' then creates all views
|
|
|
+ that have associated file names and exports the views to
|
|
|
+ these files. This is great for producing paper versions of
|
|
|
+ your views, to take with you when you don't have your
|
|
|
+ computer. The manual has an example on how to do this, and
|
|
|
+ in particular on how to customize the format of the printed
|
|
|
+ version. See section 8.6.4 of the manual.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can produce a CSV format of agenda information with an
|
|
|
+ Emacs batch command. This is greate for further processing
|
|
|
+ in scipts. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for this idea.
|
|
|
+ See section 8.6.5 of the manual.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done'. When set,
|
|
|
+ a deadline associated with a DONE item will not be shown in
|
|
|
+ the agenda. This is based upon a report by Denis Bueno.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Quite a few bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.73
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Minor bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.72
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Control over blank lines between trees in collapsed view.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Info about the running clock is shown in the modeline.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - C-a can behave specially in headlines.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Better color and scaling defaults for LaTeX fragments.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Customizable list of keys in org-mode to be replaced.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Stuck project descriptions have been extended.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Emphasis code has been modified to fix some issues.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The option `org-format-latex-options' has changed. If you
|
|
|
+ have customized it, please revert to default and then redo
|
|
|
+ your customization.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - `org-CUA-compatible' no longer modifies S-RET by default,
|
|
|
+ because newer versions of CUA don't use this key anymore.
|
|
|
+ If you need this replacement, customize the variable
|
|
|
+ `org-disputed-keys'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The variable `org-CUA-compatible' is obsolete, please use
|
|
|
+ `org-replace-disputed-keys' instead. `org-CUA-compatible'
|
|
|
+ is still an alias for this new variable, though.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Better control over blank lines between trees in collapsed
|
|
|
+ view. This has come up several times in the past and most
|
|
|
+ recently by Scott Jaderholm. There is now a new variable
|
|
|
+ `org-cycle-separator-lines' with default value 2. It says
|
|
|
+ how many empty lines there need to be after the end of a
|
|
|
+ subtree to get an empty line in collapsed view. So with the
|
|
|
+ default, if you leave only one empty line it will disappear
|
|
|
+ in collapsed view. If you leave two, one empty line will
|
|
|
+ remain so that you can use double empty lines to structure
|
|
|
+ the collapsed views of a file. I love it, so many thanks to
|
|
|
+ Scott fro bringing this up again.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ One property of the new setup is that you will never get
|
|
|
+ more than one blank line in collapsed view. We could do
|
|
|
+ something special to allow *several* empty lines in
|
|
|
+ collapsed view, but I think this is counter-productive.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ In Emacs 22, if you want to make full use of this, make sure
|
|
|
+ that you have not set `outline-blank-line'.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When the clock is running, Org-mode will put info about it
|
|
|
+ into the modeline. The info consists of the elapsed time
|
|
|
+ and the heading of the clocked item. This was a proposal
|
|
|
+ from Bastien who got the idea from Muse.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - C-a can behave specially in headlines when you set the
|
|
|
+ variable `org-special-ctrl-a'. It will bring the cursor
|
|
|
+ first back only to the beginning of the headline *text*,
|
|
|
+ i.e. after the stars and the TODO keyword, if any. A second
|
|
|
+ C-a will then move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
|
|
|
+ If the cursor is already at the beginning of the line, C-a
|
|
|
+ will spring *forward* to the headline text. This was a
|
|
|
+ proposal from Leo, based on a request from Scott Jaderholm.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ I have not turned this turned this on by default, should I?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When LaTeX fragments are processed into images, there is now
|
|
|
+ more control and (hopefully) betters defaults for colors and
|
|
|
+ scaling. Special values can be set for HTML export, so that
|
|
|
+ these values can differ from what is used for display in an
|
|
|
+ emacs buffer. The default foreground and background colors
|
|
|
+ for images embedded in emacs are now taken from the default
|
|
|
+ emacs face. Thanks to Xiao-Yong Jin for proposing these
|
|
|
+ changes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - There is now a much better mechanism to change some keys in
|
|
|
+ org-mode if these keys clash with other modes you use. Turn
|
|
|
+ this on by setting `org-replace-disputed-keys' (aliased to
|
|
|
+ `org-CUA-compatible'). The list of keys to replace is now
|
|
|
+ fully customizable, see the option `org-disputed-keys'.
|
|
|
+ Many thanks to Meciej Katafiasz for a patch implementing
|
|
|
+ this.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Stuck project descriptions have been extended. You can now
|
|
|
+ use "*" as a TODO keyword or tag to say that *any* TODO
|
|
|
+ keyword or TAG marks a project as non-stuck. You also can
|
|
|
+ give an arbitrary regular expression that, if it matches,
|
|
|
+ indicates a non-stuck project.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The code for emphasis like bold, italic etc has been
|
|
|
+ modified - I might have broken something in the process,
|
|
|
+ please let me know if you find problems.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A number of bugs have been fixed - those where I have
|
|
|
+ replied "Fixed" on the mailing list.

|
|
+* Version 4.71
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variables to customize the header and data tags in
|
|
|
+ exported HTML. These are the variables
|
|
|
+ `org-export-table-header-tags' and
|
|
|
+ `org-export-table-data-tags'. This follows a request from
|
|
|
+ Scott Otterson.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New option `org-format-latex-header' for customizing the
|
|
|
+ header of the LaTeX file used to convert embedded LaTeX to
|
|
|
+ images. Thanks to `Matthieu Lemerre' for the suggestion.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The prefix version of `org-todo-list' works again. This
|
|
|
+ means that `C-1 C-c a t' produces the list of TODO entries
|
|
|
+ for the first TODO keyword. If you use different TODO setups
|
|
|
+ in different agenda files, be careful: This number now
|
|
|
+ refers to the list of *all* todo keywords used in files
|
|
|
+ that are scanned for the agenda.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Many bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.70
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Dust settles after revamp of TODO keyword system.
|
|
|
+ - The export title can be taken from the first text line.
|
|
|
+ - TTY replacement keys have changed.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Some TTY replacement keys are changed, see below.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Further development concerning TODO keywords.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + You can now have several DONE states in a sequence, like
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE DELEGATED
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The difference to the proposal discussed on the mailing
|
|
|
+ list (and which is also works!)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE
|
|
|
+ #+SEQ_TODO: | CANCELED
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ is that in the first case, the extra DONE states will be
|
|
|
+ reached with `C-c C-t' (or with `t' from the agenda), while
|
|
|
+ in the second case you need S-<right> to get to the special
|
|
|
+ states. I guess both ideas can be useful - I am leaning
|
|
|
+ toward using the latter.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + Setting up TODO keywords in Lisp previously used two
|
|
|
+ separate variables: `org-todo-keywords' and
|
|
|
+ `org-todo-interpretation'. The preferred way is now to use
|
|
|
+ only `org-todo-keywords', with a new structure:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ (setq org-todo-keywords
|
|
|
+ '((sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE")
|
|
|
+ (sequence "BUG" "KNOWNCAUSE" "|" "FIXED" "IGNORED")
|
|
|
+ (type "Fred" "Lisa" "Peter" "|" "DONE")
|
|
|
+ (sequence "CANCELED") ; for things we decide to not do.
|
|
|
+ ))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ If your setting has this new structure,
|
|
|
+ `org-todo-interpretation' will be ignored. This change
|
|
|
+ does not break backward compatibility. The old way of
|
|
|
+ using a flat list in `org-todo-keywords' and taking the
|
|
|
+ interpretation from the other variable still works.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + When listing *specific* TODO entries via a sparse tree
|
|
|
+ (`C-u C-c C-v') or via the agenda (`C-c a T' or `C-u C-c a
|
|
|
+ t'), you can now specify several keywords to be selected,
|
|
|
+ like "TODO|VERIFY|WAITING". This also works for custom
|
|
|
+ agenda commands. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for pointing
|
|
|
+ out this omission.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - If you have configured Org-mode to export also the text
|
|
|
+ before the first headline (this is done by setting the
|
|
|
+ variable `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil),
|
|
|
+ then the first normal text line in the buffer becomes the
|
|
|
+ title of the exported document. A title set with #+TITLE
|
|
|
+ overules this default, and the first line then belongs to the
|
|
|
+ normal text. Thanks to David House for this proposal.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - TTY replacement keys. Some of the key bindings used by
|
|
|
+ Org-mode do not work on a tty, so replacement key sequences
|
|
|
+ are provided on ttys. In version 4.70, there are some
|
|
|
+ changes in the tty replacements. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer
|
|
|
+ for coming up with the idea to use C-c <cursor> keys.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ | Command | | Old TTY | New TTY |
|
|
|
+ | org-..... | Main Key | Replacement | Replacement |

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.69
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This time the changes affect the following areas:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - TODO keywords: Multiple sequences in a single file.
|
|
|
+ - Export: More control over text before the first heading.
|
|
|
+ - Export: More control over sub/superscript interpretation.
|
|
|
+ - Plain lists: Option to let empty lines terminate lists.
|
|
|
+ - Tables: New command to insert hline and move into line below.
|
|
|
+ - REPEATing items: Turn of note taking.
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Incompatible changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - It used to be possible to spread the list of TODO keywords
|
|
|
+ over several lines, like
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ #+SEQ_TODO: TODO
|
|
|
+ #+SEQ_TODO: PROGRESS
|
|
|
+ #+SEQ_TODO: DONE
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This is no longer possible. Each such line now specifies an
|
|
|
+ independent set of TODO keywords, with its own DONE state.
|
|
|
+ See below for details.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The #+TEXT construct has been used to insert unchanged HTML
|
|
|
+ into an exported file. This is no longer possible, the TEXT
|
|
|
+ lines will be processed like any other lines. However,
|
|
|
+ there are now much better ways of getting quoted HTML into
|
|
|
+ the exported file.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can now use multiple sets of TODO keywords in the same
|
|
|
+ buffer. For example, you may put the following three lines
|
|
|
+ into a file:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE
|
|
|
+ #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED
|
|
|
+ #+TYP_TODO: Fred Laura Peter Me OK
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Each sub-sequence has its own DONE state. It is best to use
|
|
|
+ different keywords in all sequences, to make sure Org-mode
|
|
|
+ does not loose track in which specific sequence it is
|
|
|
+ working. You could use the same word for all DONE states,
|
|
|
+ but then cycling through to a TODO state might not bring you
|
|
|
+ where you want to be.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ After initially setting a keyword, `C-c C-t' cycles through
|
|
|
+ a sublist, i.e. is cycles from TODO to DONE or from
|
|
|
+ KNOWNCAUSE to RESOLVED and further to (nothing) and back to
|
|
|
+ REPORT.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ S-right and S-left allow to select any keyword, so they move
|
|
|
+ from DONE to REPORT and from RESOLVED to Fred.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ C-S-right and C-S-left jump from one sub-sequence to the
|
|
|
+ next, for example from TODO or DONE to REPORT to Fred.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Rick Moynihan for triggering this development.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Text before the first headline can now be exported if you
|
|
|
+ configure Org-mode accordingly. Either set the variable
|
|
|
+ `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil, or use the
|
|
|
+ new in-buffer option
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ #+OPTION: skip:nil
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Export content specified via the #+TEXT construct is now
|
|
|
+ fully processed, i.e. links, emphasis etc. are all
|
|
|
+ interpreted. #+TEXT lines may include
|
|
|
+ #+BEGIN_HTML...#+END_HTML sections to embed literal HTML.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - During HTML export, you can request to have a_{b}
|
|
|
+ interpreted as a subscript, but to leave a_b as it is. This
|
|
|
+ can be done by setting the variable
|
|
|
+ org-export-sub-superscript to the symbol `{}' with
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ (setq org-export-sub-superscript '{})
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ or by using
|
|
|

|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Eddward DeVilla for this idea.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - New variable `org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
|
|
|
+ Default is nil, meaning that empty lines are part of the
|
|
|
+ previous list item, and that you can have several paragraphs
|
|
|
+ in one such item. Set this to t if you want an empty line
|
|
|
+ terminate all levels of plain list items.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Mike Newman for triggering this development.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - C-c RET does insert a horizontal separator line and move the
|
|
|
+ cursor into the table line below it. Thanks to Bastien for
|
|
|
+ this proposal.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Org-mode always offers you to record a note when a TODO item
|
|
|
+ automatically repeats, even if you are not logging state
|
|
|
+ changes. The new variable `org-log-repeat' allows to turn
|
|
|
+ this off, so that notes are really only been taken if you
|
|
|
+ are logging all state changes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Various Bug fixes, thanks to everyone who reported.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.68
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+ - Priority handling in the tags view
|
|
|
+ - Date/time prompt follows the popup calender, and accepts AM/PM times.
|
|
|
+ - Standard references like B4 in the spreadsheet.
|
|
|
+ - Improvements to the formula editor.
|
|
|
+ - C-j does better indentation.
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Details
|
|
|
+ - Priority handling in the tags view
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + Agenda lists selected by tag are now sorted by priority.
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Andrew Korty for reporting this omission.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Improvements to the date/time prompt.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + When you move (using S-cursor keys) the cursor in the pop-up
|
|
|
+ calendar window while responding to a date/time prompt, the
|
|
|
+ prompt is updated with the new default date (Emacs only).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + You can now enter AM/PM times at this prompt.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Changes in the spreadsheet
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + You can now also write B4 instead of @4$2 as a reference in
|
|
|
+ formulas. The column references without specified row can be
|
|
|
+ written as C& instead of $3. Such references make formulas
|
|
|
+ easier to read and are now the default way how references are
|
|
|
+ shown when you edit existing formulas. To get the old behavior
|
|
|
+ back (i.e. only @row$col references), set the variable
|
|
|
+ `org-table-use-standard-references' to nil.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Relative references like @-3$-2 or @II..III continue to use the
|
|
|
+ internal format.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Changes in the formula editor (the one you get with "C-c '")
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + The formulas are organized in a more logical way.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + There is now a menu with commands.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + When starting the formula editor with "C-c '", the cursor
|
|
|
+ immediately moves to the formula for the current field.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + With the cursor on a reference in the formula, you can use
|
|
|
+ S-cursor keys to change the field being referenced.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - C-j indents the following line correctly whe used in a headline
|
|
|
+ or in aplain list item. Thanks to Leo for this suggestion.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + Flyspell now knows about special org-mode commands.
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Vinod Valsalam for reporting this problem, and to
|
|
|
+ Andrew Korty for showing how to fix it.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ + Most other bugs discussed recently on emacs-orgmode@gnu.org
|
|
|
+ should be fixed, except the problem with non-ASCII characters
|
|
|
+ in tags....
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.67
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Expert mode for fast tag selection.
|
|
|
+ When org-fast-tag-selection-single-key is `expert', not even
|
|
|
+ the selection window is shown, only the prompt. One more C-c
|
|
|
+ gets you the window, another one goes to multiple selection mode.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Synchronized with Emacs once more: Emacs CVS has now org-mode
|
|
|
+ 4.67. At least until it causes a problem, then the Emacs people
|
|
|
+ will switch back to 4.56. Lets hope there will be no problem.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Code cleanup
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.66
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Sorting of top-level entries works now if the region contains
|
|
|
+ top-level entries, or if the cursor is before the first headline.
|
|
|
+ Thanks to "redblue" for reporting this bug.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When entering date and time at the prompt, you can now mix
|
|
|
+ entering text and selecting something in the calendar. For
|
|
|
+ example, enter 22:15 at the prompt without pressing RET, and then
|
|
|
+ click on a date in the calendar. Both pieces of information will
|
|
|
+ be included in the resulting time stamp. You can also use
|
|
|
+ S-curser to move the cursor in the calendar to the desired date
|
|
|
+ and then enter 22:15 and press RET at the prompt.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - When setting a deadline or a schedule, entering a time now
|
|
|
+ automatically selects the time stamp format that includes the
|
|
|
+ time. Bug report (by means of a question) from Bastre.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - C-c C-l can be used to convert a plain link into a bracket link.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Internal links now match inside (the visible part of) other
|
|
|
+ links. Thanks to Scott Otterson for reporting this bug.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - iCalendar export of TODO items fixed, see also the variable
|
|
|
+ `org-icalendar-include-todo'. Thanks to Philipp Raschdorf.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The number of levels in the table of contents of an exported
|
|
|
+ document can now be set independently of the number of headline
|
|
|
+ levels. For example:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ #+OPTIONS: H:4 toc:2
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The command `C-c }' toggles the display of row and column numbers
|
|
|
+ the the current table, to aid constructing formulas. To try it,
|
|
|
+ move the cursor to a table and press `C-c }', or use the menu
|
|
|
+ entry.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Orgtbl translation functions (introduced in 4.65) have been
|
|
|
+ simplified using a generic function `orgtbl-to-generic' that can
|
|
|
+ be used for very general languanges. Writing your own translator
|
|
|
+ should be very easy now. More info in the manual.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - CONTENTS visibility can be limited to a certain level. The
|
|
|
+ command `C-3 S-TAB' will switch to CONTENTS view and show the
|
|
|
+ first 3 levels.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.65
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Orgtbl can be used to maintain tables in LaTeX, and in any other mode
|
|
|
+ - Editing Lisp formulas for tables improved.
|
|
|
+ - Better structure for HTML exported tables.
|
|
|
+ - New "calculation" marker "/" to mark lines that should not be exported.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Detailed description of changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can use orgtbl mode to maintain a LaTeX table, or pretty much
|
|
|
+ any table in any mode.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ This does *not* work by making Orgtbl aware of LaTeX syntax. That
|
|
|
+ would be a box of Pandora I am not willing to open. Instead, you
|
|
|
+ use a normal Orgtbl-mode table, and a converter program to
|
|
|
+ automatically place a LaTeX version of the table into the correct
|
|
|
+ spot in the LaTeX file. The orgtbl-mode table can be maintained
|
|
|
+ inside the same file, in a block comment.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ I am providing translators for LaTeX, HTML, and TeXInfo. For
|
|
|
+ other applications, you need to write one yourself - but that is
|
|
|
+ not hard if you start from the LaTeX version and just modify it.
|
|
|
+ Thanks to Thomas Baumann for triggering this development through
|
|
|
+ a request for a table-to-LaTeX converter.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - In the special buffer to edit the formulas of a table (created
|
|
|
+ with "C-c '"), there is now better support for editing Lisp
|
|
|
+ formulas. TAB and M-TAB work like in an Emacs Lisp buffer,
|
|
|
+ indenting lines and completing lisp symbols. With the cursor on
|
|
|
+ a line defining a complex Lisp formula, a first press on TAB will
|
|
|
+ convert the formula into a pretty-printed version with proper
|
|
|
+ linebreaks and indentation. A second TAB folds the line back to
|
|
|
+ the compact form.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Tables in HTML export have now additional structure elements
|
|
|
+ defined. The header (before the first hline) is wrapped into
|
|
|
+ <thead>..</thead>, and each part of the body (as separated in
|
|
|
+ org-mode by hlines) is wrapped into <tbody>..</tbody> tags. I
|
|
|
+ have also changed the CSS style for <td> fields and the value of
|
|
|
+ `org-export-html-table-tag' to get cleaner tables. Basically,
|
|
|
+ tables now have horizontal lines only where needed, and no
|
|
|
+ vertical lines at all, as generally recommended for tables in
|
|
|
+ printed text. I like the new look, but I am not sure if this
|
|
|
+ change will find general approval, please throw in your view if
|
|
|
+ you like. Thanks to Scott for driving this, and to goud-H for
|
|
|
+ pointing me to the row grouping in tables.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - In a table with calculation markers in the first column, you can
|
|
|
+ now also put "/" into the first column. It indicates that this
|
|
|
+ line should not be exported. The foremost application for this
|
|
|
+ are lines containing only "<N>" markers for narrowing columns.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.64
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Overview
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Email links get better, configurable descriptions
|
|
|
+ - When inserting a link, selected text becomes the description
|
|
|
+ - Easier access to the list of stored links.
|
|
|
+ - Horizontal lines in HTML export.
|
|
|
+ - Remember templates and storing of notes improved.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+** Detailed description of changes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - The descriptive part of links to email messages can be configured
|
|
|
+ using the variable `org-email-link-description-format'. The new
|
|
|
+ default is "Email %c: %.30s" and leads to
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Email from NAME: SUBJECT
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ If you configure the variable `org-from-is-user-regexp'
|
|
|
+ correctly, then for email you *sent* this will actually change to
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Email to NAME: SUBJECT
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The subject is limited to 30 characters. If you have become
|
|
|
+ attached to the previous default (look twice, the new one is
|
|
|
+ better), use "%f on: %s" as your format.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Selecting text before entering a new link with C-c C-l now really
|
|
|
+ works, the selected text becomes the description part of the
|
|
|
+ link. Requested by Scott, buggy 4.62 implementation is now fixed.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Stored links are part of the history list for C-c C-l, so to
|
|
|
+ reach them, you can use up/down rather than completion. Thanks
|
|
|
+ to Raman for this excellent idea.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - A line consisting only of "-", and at least 5 of them, is
|
|
|
+ exported into HTML as <hr/>, as proposed by Giovanni Ridolfi.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Several changes to org <-> remember integration
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - You can use `org-remember' as your default command to start
|
|
|
+ remember. It will automatically detect if there is an active
|
|
|
+ region and use it as initial content (we will probably make
|
|
|
+ remember.el work like this as well).
|
|
|
+ Also, when calling `org-remember' in a remember buffer that
|
|
|
+ was created with a template, you will again be asked to
|
|
|
+ select a template. The buffer is then re-created with the
|
|
|
+ new template, but the old context information. This is
|
|
|
+ useful if you change your mind about the template to use
|
|
|
+ (Leo's idea).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Besides specifying a default *target* file for a note, you
|
|
|
+ can also give a default *heading* of which the note should
|
|
|
+ become a subitem. In many cases this avoids or speeds up
|
|
|
+ navigating to the right location. Both file and heading can
|
|
|
+ be different for each template. Both are non-binding, you
|
|
|
+ can change them while storing the note. However, when you
|
|
|
+ exit remember with C-u C-c C-c, these defaults will be used
|
|
|
+ without interaction.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Templates can specify interactive fields. During expansion
|
|
|
+ of the template, you will be prompted for the information in
|
|
|
+ that field. For example %^t will pop up a calendar and ask
|
|
|
+ you to select a date. This new feature follows a proposal
|
|
|
+ from Leo, who in the mean time has said he does not need it
|
|
|
+ anymore. But I liked it, so here it is :-)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - Templates can access information specific to the link type
|
|
|
+ created, for example the author and subject of an email.
|
|
|
+ Syntax is %:fromname, %:fromaddress, %:subject etc, details
|
|
|
+ in the manual. Proposed by Peder O. Klingenberg.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ - I have been considering to move, at some stage, the template
|
|
|
+ functionality into remember.el itself - which would of course
|
|
|
+ require consent of the remember.el maintainers. I am not
|
|
|
+ sure how well this would work though, since some things like
|
|
|
+ the interactive time stamps are org.el specific, so treating
|
|
|
+ them would require special hooks. Comments?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.63
|
|
|
+ - Bug fixes
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Version 4.62
|
|
|
+ - Many changes to the spreadsheet functions in the table editor.

|
+ - Sorting tables automatically selects line range between hlines.
|
|
|

+ - new option `org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done'.
|
|
|
+ - Agenda and sparse tree construction using tag matches can now
|
|
|
+ use regular expressions.
|
