  20. The variable `org-log-done' is now less complex.

  22. <li>
  23. The in-buffer settings for logging have changed. Some

  30. <h4>Changes to logging progress</h4>
  31. <p>
  32. There is now more control over which state changes are being
  33. logged in what way. Please read carefully the corresponding
  34. sections in the manual. Basically:
  35. </p>
  36. <ul>
  37. <li>
  38. The variable `org-log-done' has been simplified, it no
  39. longer influences logging state changes and clocking out.
  40. </li>
  41. <li>
  42. There is a new variable for triggering note-taking when
  43. clocking out an item: `org-log-note-clock-out'.
  44. </li>
  45. <li>
  46. Logging of state changes now has to be configured on a
  47. pre-keyword basis, either in `org-todo-keywords' or in the
  48. #+TODO in-buffer setting.
  49. </li>
  50. <li>
  51. These per-keyword settings allow more control. For example
  52. <p>
  53. <pre>
  54. WAIT(w@) Record a note when entering this state.
  55. WAIT(w!) Record a timestamp when entering this state.
  56. WAIT(w@/!) Recore a note when entering and timestamp
  57. when leaving this state. This is great for
  58. getting a record when switching *back* from
  59. WAIT to TODO.
  60. WAIT(/!) Record a timestamp when leaving this state.
  61. Here we not even define a fast access
  62. character, but just the logging stuff.

  71. <h4>Other</h4>

  74. M-RET no longer brakes a line in the middle, it will make a
  75. new line after the current or (if cursor is at the beginning
  76. of the line) before the current line.
  77. </li>
  78. <li>
  79. RET, when executed in a headline after the main text and
  80. before the tags will leave the tags in the current line and
  81. create a new line below the current one.

  170. The use of prefix arguments for the commands `org-remember'
  171. and `org-refile' has been normalized:
  172. <ul>
  173. <li>
  174. when called without prefix argument, the command does its

  177. <li>
  178. when called with a single C-u prefix, these commands can be
  179. used to select a target location and to jump there. In
  180. the case of `org-remember', you will be prompted for a
  181. template and then Emacs jumps to the default target
  182. location or this template. In the case of `org-refile',
  183. you select a location from the refile target list and jump
  184. there.

  186. <li>
  187. when called with two prefixes (`C-u C-u'), the command

  193. When the clock is running inside an remember buffer, storing
  194. the remember buffer with `C-c C-c' will automatically clock
  195. out. This was inspired by a request by Rainer Stengle.
  196. </li>
  197. <li>
  198. The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'
  199. introduced only in 5.19 is already obsolete. Please use
  200. `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead. This new
  201. variable does select the interface that is used to select
  202. the target for a remember note in an interactive way.
  203. Possible values are:
  204. <ul>
  205. <li>
  206. `outline': Use an outline of the document to select a
  207. location.
  208. </li>
  209. <li>
  210. `outline-path-completion': Use completion of an outline
  211. path to select a location.
  212. </li>
  213. <li>
  214. `refile': Offer the `org-refile-targets' as possible
  215. targets.
  216. </li>
  217. </ul></li>
  218. <li>
  219. It is no longer necessary to update the refiling targets -
  220. they are always current.
  221. </li>
  222. <li>
  223. In `org-goto', typing characters now automatically starts
  224. isearch from the beginning of the buffer. The isearch is
  225. special also because it only matches in headline. This
  226. goes some way toward saving org-goto from being removed
  227. from Org-mode. Thanks to Piotr Zielinski for the code, and
  228. sorry that it took me so long to put it in. If you prefer
  229. to use single letters n,p,f,b,u,q for navigation as before,
  230. configure the variable `org-goto-auto-isearch'.
  231. </li>
  232. <li>
  233. Outline-path-completion is now available as an alternative
  234. interface in the command `org-goto'. Please select the
  235. default interface you'd like to use with the new variable
  236. `org-goto-interface'. You can then select the alternative
  237. interface with a prefix argument to `C-c C-j' (org-goto). I
  238. am considering to make outline-path-completion the default
  239. interface. Comments?

  243. <h4>Misc</h4>
  244. <ul>
  245. <li>
  246. Checkboxes now work hierarchically. When a plain-list item
  247. with a checkbox has children with checkboxes, the status of
  248. the item's checkbox is calculated from the children, each
  249. time a checkbox is toggled with C-c C-c. Thanks to Miguel
  250. A. Figueroa-Villanueva for a patch to this effect.
  251. </li>
  252. <li>
  253. There is a new variable `org-special-ctrl-k'. When set,
  254. `C-k' will behave specially in headlines:
  255. <ul>
  256. <li>
  257. When the cursor is at the beginning of a headline, kill
  258. the entire line and possible the folded subtree below the
  259. line.
  260. </li>
  261. <li>
  262. When in the middle of the headline text, kill the
  263. headline up to the tags.
  264. </li>
  265. <li>
  266. When after the headline text, kill the tags.
  267. </li>
  268. </ul>
  269. <p>This is following a proposal by Piotr Zielinski.
  270. </p>
  271. </li>
  272. <li>
  273. You can now also have a plain (as opposed to deadline or
  274. scheduled) repeater timestamp in a task. Switching the task
  275. to DONE will now also shift a plain time stamp. This was a
  276. request by Austin Frank.
  277. </li>
  278. <li>
  279. If an entry is clocked multiple times, it will now show up
  280. several times in the agenda and timeline buffers, when
  281. log-mode is on. This was a proposal by Jurgen Defurne.
  282. </li>
  283. <li>
  284. The clock table accepts a new parameter <code>:step</code>. This
  285. parameter can be `day' or `week' and will result in separate
  286. tables for each day or week in the requested time interval.
  287. This was triggered by a proposal by Sacha Chua in her <a href="http://sachachua.com/wp/2007/12/30/clocking-time-with-emacs-org/">blog</a>.
  288. </li>
  289. <li>
  290. A time-stamp with a repeater now no longer refers to the
  291. date <b>closest</b> to the current day. Instead, it means either
  292. today or the most recent match. This change makes sure that
  293. overdue scheduled or deadline items never disappear from the
  294. agenda. With the previous convention, an overdue scheduled
  295. item would disappear. For example, a weekly item scheduled
  296. for Sunday would appear as overdue until Wednesday, and the
  297. suddenly disappear until next Sunday. Now the item will
  298. show up as "Sched 7x" on Saturday. From Sunday on it will
  299. be in the list as "Scheduled", i.e. old sins will be
  300. forgiven. This follows a request by Warong, Dennis and
  301. Bernt.
  302. </li>
  303. <li>
  304. Archiving a subtree now creates an additional property,
  305. <code>ARCHIVE_OLPATH</code>. This property contains the "path" in the
  306. outline tree to the archived entry, as it was in the
  307. original file. For example, archiving <code>Fix the door</code> in the
  308. following hierarchy
  309. <p>
  310. <pre>
  311. * Tasks
  312. ** HOME
  313. *** Garage
  314. **** Fix the door
  315. </pre>
  316. </p>
  317. <p>
  318. will file is with the following property
  319. </p>
  320. <p>
  321. <pre>
  322. :ARCHIVE_PATH: Task/HOME/Garage
  323. </pre>
  324. </p>
  325. <p>
  326. Note that you can configure (i.e. limit) the information
  327. that gets stored upon archiving with the variable
  328. `org-archive-save-context-info'.

  379. A new special column definition lists the sum of all CLOCK
  380. entries in a subtree. For example
  381. <p>
  382. <pre>
  383. #+COLUMNS: %20ITEM %10Time_Estimate{:} %CLOCKSUM
  384. </pre>
  385. </p>
  386. <p>
  387. will allow you to compare estimated times (as given in the
  388. Time_Estimate property) with the clocked times. This was a
  389. request by Bernt Hansen.
  390. </p>
  391. </li>
  392. <li>
  393. Storing remember notes can now use the `org-refile'
  394. interface instead of the `org-goto' interface (see the
  395. variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive').
  396. Nothing will change if the note is stored immediately after
  397. pressing `C-c C-c' in the <code>*Remember*</code> buffer. But if you
  398. have chosen (e.g. by pressing `C-u C-c C-c') to
  399. interactively select the filing location (file and
  400. headline), the refile interface will be used instead. I am
  401. excited about this change, because the `org-goto' interface
  402. is basically a failure, at least for this application. Note
  403. that in any case the refile interface has to be configured
  404. first by customizing `org-refile-targets'.
  405. </li>
  406. <li>
  407. Notes inserted with remember now remove any whitespace
  408. before and after the note before being pasted, so that there
  409. will be no empty lines inserted together with the note. We
  410. could invent special syntax in remember templates to allow
  411. creating empty lines before a note - is there anyone who'd
  412. want this?
  413. </li>
  414. <li>
  415. Moving subtrees now folds all siblings of the subtree. This
  416. is the only reasonably simple way I could find to avoid the
  417. reported inconsistencies in the folding state of the outline
  418. tree after moving entries. There are reasons to like this
  419. new behavior, because it easily visualizes where the tree is
  420. located after the move. Still, not everyone might be happy
  421. with this. Massive complaining would be needed to make me
  422. fix this.
  423. </li>
  424. <li>
  425. New variable `org-agenda-todo-keyword-format' to specify the
  426. width of the TODO keyword field in the agenda display. Use
  427. it to get things to line up better. This was a proposal by
  428. Rainer Stengele.
  429. </li>
  430. <li>
  431. If a link description inserted with `C-c C-l' contains
  432. brackets, the brackets will now be converted into curly
  433. braces. This looks similar enough. Supporting brackets in
  434. link descriptions is, for technical reasons too long to
  435. explain here, complex.
  436. </li>
  437. <li>
  438. The new option `org-clock-in-switch-to-state' can be set to
  439. a TODO state that will be enforced when the clock is started
  440. on an entry. This follows an idea by Sacha Chua.
  441. </li>
  442. <li>
  443. The EXPORT_FILE_NAME property may now also be an absolute
  444. file name, and it may contain abbreviations like "~" for the
  445. users home directory. This was requested by Adam Spiers.

  463. <h4>Whitespace</h4>
  464. <ul>
  465. <li>
  466. When cutting, pasting, or moving subtrees and items, the
  467. empty lines <b>before</b> the subtree/item now belong to the
  468. part and will be moved with it. There is one exception to
  469. this rule: If the first child is moved down (or,
  470. equivalently, the second is moved up), the amount of empty
  471. lines <b>above</b> the first child to be moved along with it is
  472. limited by the number of empty lines <b>below</b> it. This
  473. sounds complicated, but it allows to have extra empty space
  474. before the first child and still have good behavior of the
  475. subtree motion commands.
  476. </li>
  477. <li>
  478. Plain lists items work the same.

  480. </ul>
  481. <p>I believe we have finally nailed this one. Thanks to Daniel
  482. Pittman for bring this up again and to Eric Schulte for
  483. pointing out that it is the empty lines <b>before</b> an entry
  484. that really count.

  494. <li>
  495. The new command `org-remember-goto-last-stored' will jump
  496. to the location of the remember note stored most recently.
  497. If you have `org-remember' on a key like `C-c r', then you
  498. can go to the location with a double prefix arg: `C-u C-u
  499. C-c r'. This was a proposal by Rainer Stengele.
  500. </li>
  501. <li>
  502. Template items that are being prompted for can now specify
  503. a default value and a completion table. Furthermore,
  504. previous inputs at a specific prompt are captured in a
  505. history variable. For example:
  506. <p>
  507. <pre>
  508. %^{Author|Roald Dahl|Thomas Mann|Larry Niven}
  509. </pre>
  510. </p>
  511. <p>
  512. will prompt for an author name. Pressing RET without
  513. typing anything will select "Roald Dahl". Completion will
  514. give you any of the three names. And a history will be
  515. kept, so you can use the arrow keys to get to previous
  516. input. The history is tied to the prompt. By using the
  517. same prompt in different templates, you can build a history
  518. across templates. The ideas for this came from proposals
  519. by Bastien and Adam.
  520. </p>
  521. </li>
  522. <li>
  523. When a remember template contains the string `%!', the note
  524. will be stored immediately after all template parts have
  525. been filled in, so you don't even have to press `C-c
  526. C-c'. The was a proposal by Adam Spiers.

  534. maximum level for target selection. Thanks to Wanrong Lin
  535. for this proposal.
  536. </li>
  537. <li>
  538. When the new option `org-refile-use-outline-path' is set,
  539. refile targets will be presented like a file path to the
  540. completion interface: "level 1/level 2/level 3". This
  541. may be the fastest interface yet to get to a certain
  542. outline entry. Do we need to use this interface in other
  543. places? Thanks to Jose Ruiz for this proposal.

  553. <h4>Restriction lock on agenda scope</h4>
  554. <p>
  555. You can now permanently lock the agenda construction to a
  556. certain scope, like a file or a subtree. So instead of
  557. pressing "&lt;" for each command in the agenda dispatcher, you
  558. only once select a restriction scope. All subsequent agenda
  559. commands will than respect this restriction. For example,
  560. you can use this at work, to limit agendas to your work file
  561. or tree, and at home to limit to the home file or tree. Or
  562. you can use it during the day in order to focus in on certain
  563. projects.
  564. </p>
  565. <p>
  566. You select a scope with the command `C-c C-x &lt;', which
  567. restricts to the current subtree. When called with a `C-u'
  568. prefix, the restriction is to the current file. You can also
  569. make restrictions from the speedbar frame, see below.
  570. </p>
  571. <p>
  572. When making a new restriction and an agenda window is
  573. currently visible, it will immediately be updated to reflect
  574. the new scope. TO if you like you can display an agenda view
  575. and then watch it change in various scopes.
  576. </p>
  577. <p>
  578. To get rid of the restriction, use the command "C-c C-x &gt;".
  579. Or press "&gt;" in the agenda dispatcher. Also, and use of "&lt;"
  580. in the dispatcher will disable the restriction lock and
  581. select a new restriction.

  610. <li>
  611. You can set a restriction lock for the Org-mode agenda to a
  612. file or a subtree directly from the speedbar frame. Just
  613. press "&lt;" with the cursor on an Org-mode file or subtree to
  614. set the lock and immediately update the agenda if it is

  751. <h3>Incompatible changes</h3>
  752. <ul>
  753. <li>
  754. If you have customized the variable `org-emphasis-alist' or
  755. org-export-emphasis-alist', you need to do it again by first
  756. canceling your customization and then adding it again.
  757. </li>
  758. <li>
  759. I know that some people have defined their own private helper
  760. functions to select a specific remember template, without being
  761. prompted, like this:
  762. <p>
  763. <pre>
  764. (defun my-remember-template-n ()
  765. (interactive)
  766. (org-remember ?n))
  767. </pre>
  768. </p>
  769. <p>
  770. You need to modify this. The character selecting the template
  771. must now be the <i>second</i> argument to `org-remember':
  772. </p>
  773. <p>
  774. <pre>
  775. (defun my-remember-template-n ()
  776. (interactive)
  777. (org-remember nil ?n))
  778. </pre>
  779. </p>
  780. </li>
  781. <li>
  782. `C-c C-w' now refiles an entry. To get a sparse tree of
  783. deadlines, use `C-c / d' instead.

  789. <h4>Remember and related stuff</h4>
  790. <ul>
  791. <li>
  792. New command `org-refile' to quickly move a note to a
  793. different place. It is bound to `C-c C-w'. The foremost
  794. application might be to put a note or task captured with
  795. `remember' into the proper list or project. The command
  796. offers a list of possible refiling targets for completion.
  797. These are headings under which the entry will be inserted
  798. as a subitem. By default, this will offer all top-level
  799. headings in the current buffer, but you can configure the
  800. variable `org-refile-targets' to get more complex
  801. definitions. For example:
  802. <p>
  803. <pre>
  804. (setq org-refile-targets '((nil . (:level . 2))))
  805. </pre>
  806. </p>
  807. <p>
  808. selects all level 2 headlines in the current buffer as
  809. targets. And
  810. </p>
  811. <p>
  812. <pre>
  813. (setq org-refile-targets
  814. '((org-agenda-files . (:tag . "refile"))))
  815. </pre>
  816. </p>
  817. <p>
  818. searches all agenda files and selects headlines that are
  819. explicitly marked with the tag :refile: . Note that the
  820. list of targets is built upon first use only, to rebuilt
  821. it, call the command `C-c C-w' with a double prefix
  822. argument.
  823. </p>
  824. <p>
  825. This is based on an idea and example implementation by Max
  826. Mikhanosha. Many thanks Max.
  827. </p>
  828. </li>
  829. <li>
  830. You can now use a C-u prefix on `org-remember' to jump to
  831. the location where a specific templates stores its notes.
  832. For example, if you have `org-remember' bound to `C-c r',
  833. then `C-u C-c r n' will get you to the file and headline
  834. given in the template associated with the letter "n".
  835. <p>
  836. This was proposed by someone, but I have lost track who.
  837. Sorry, and thanks anyway.
  838. </p>
  839. </li>
  840. <li>
  841. New %-escapes in remember templates:
  842. <p>
  843. <pre>
  844. %c insert the current clipboard, like C-y would do
  845. %(..) evaluate Lisp expression and insert the result
  846. %[..] include file
  847. </pre>
  848. </p>
  849. <p>
  850. Thanks to Adam Spiers and Tim O'Callaghan.
  851. </p>
  852. </li>
  853. <li>
  854. New function `org-remember-insinuate' that makes is easier
  855. to set Org-mode specific values for remember variables.
  856. Thanks to Michael Olson for this proposal. It is
  857. equivalent to:
  858. <p>
  859. <pre>
  860. (require 'remember)
  861. (setq remember-annotation-functions '(org-remember-annotation))
  862. (setq remember-handler-functions '(org-remember-handler))
  863. (add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'org-remember-apply-template))
  864. </pre>
  865. </p>
  866. <p>
  867. You might still want to set `org-default-notes-file' to
  868. provide a default for templates without a file, and
  869. `org-directory' to show where to find other org files.

  874. <h4>Emphasis and Font-lock stuff</h4>
  875. <ul>
  876. <li>
  877. Stacked emphasis like */bold italic/* is no longer allowed.
  878. </li>
  879. <li>
  880. You may finally emphasize a single character like *a*.
  881. </li>
  882. <li>
  883. Font-lock now can hide the emphasis markers, just like Muse
  884. does. Configure the variable `org-hide-emphasis-markers'
  885. if you want this. Showing the characters continues to be
  886. the default in Org-mode.
  887. </li>
  888. <li>
  889. Text in the "=" emphasis is now exported verbatim, i.e. no
  890. further parsing and interpretation of this text takes place. So
  891. you can write =quoted *xxx* a_x = b=. This and the following
  892. point implement a request by Daniel Clemente.
  893. </li>
  894. <li>
  895. There is a new emphasis marker "~" which marks text to be
  896. exported verbatim, without special formatting. Inside an
  897. org-mode file, this text is highlighted with the org-verbatim
  898. face. I am not happy with the face yet (currently is is like
  899. org-code, but underlined), please suggest a better one.
  900. </li>
  901. <li>
  902. Whether an emphasis environment is verbatim or not is now an
  903. extra flag in the variable `org-emphasis-alist'. If you have
  904. configured this variable, do it again by first canceling your
  905. customization to revert to the default, and then adding it
  906. again.
  907. </li>
  908. <li>
  909. New variable `org-highlight-latex-fragments-and-specials'.
  910. When turned on, Org-mode will highlight all strings that
  911. are treated in a special way by the exporters. This is
  912. great for export-oriented writing, but maybe a bit noisy
  913. for note taking, so this feature is off by default.

  917. <h4>Properties and Column view</h4>
  918. <ul>
  919. <li>
  920. `org-use-property-inheritance' may now also be a list of
  921. property names that should be treated with inheritance
  922. during searches.
  923. </li>
  924. <li>
  925. CATEGORY="work" can now be used in a tags/property search,
  926. even if the category is not specified as a property in the
  927. entry, but rather is inherited or derived from #+CATEGORY.
  928. Thanks to Adam, Tim, and Bastien for an interesting
  929. discussion around this issue.
  930. </li>
  931. <li>
  932. Summary type improvements in column view.
  933. <ul>
  934. <li>
  935. The {+} summary type can specify a printf-style output
  936. format for computed values like this: {+;%5.2f}
  937. This was triggered by a report by Levin.
  938. </li>
  939. <li>
  940. New currency summary type {$}, which so far is just a
  941. shorthand for {+;%.2f}. Do we need to have a currency
  942. symbol in front of each value. Scott Jaderholm asked for
  943. this, but I am not sure if this is already what he meant.

  948. <h4>The date/time prompt</h4>
  949. <p>
  950. There have been several small but <b>very</b> useful additions to
  951. the date prompt.
  952. </p>
  953. <ul>
  954. <li>
  955. While entering data at the date prompt, the current
  956. interpretation of your input is shown next to your input in
  957. the minibuffer. I find this great to understand how the
  958. input works. If you find the extra stuff in the minibuffer
  959. annoying, turn it off with `org-read-date-display-live'.
  960. </li>
  961. <li>
  962. The date prompt now prefers to select the future. If you
  963. enter a date without a month, and the day number is before
  964. today (for example, on the 16th of the month you enter
  965. "9"), Org-mode will assume next month. Similarly, if you
  966. enter a month and no year, next year will be assumed if the
  967. entered month is before the current, for example if you
  968. enter "May" in September. Thanks to John Rakestraw for
  969. this great suggestion. If you find it confusing, turn it
  970. off with `org-read-date-prefer-future'.
  971. </li>
  972. <li>
  973. When modifying an existing date using `C-c .' at the stamp,
  974. the time or time range in the stamp are now offered as
  975. default input at the prompt. This goes a long way to
  976. simplifying the modification of an existing date. Thanks
  977. to Adam Spiers for this proposal.

  1030. export by setting it either globally
  1031. (`org-export-latex-default-class') or locally in each Org
  1032. file (with #+LaTeX_CLASS: myclass). You can also customize
  1033. the list of available classes and their sectioning

  1041. tables. Check the documentation for details and examples.
  1042. </li>

  1162. (at least I hope so&hellip;).
  1163. </li>
  1164. <li>
  1165. You can now capture a column view into a dynamic block, for
  1166. exporting or printing it. The column view can be
  1167. <ul>
  1168. <li>
  1169. global, i.e. for the entire file
  1170. </li>
  1171. <li>
  1172. local, i.e. for the subtree where the dynamic block is
  1173. </li>
  1174. <li>
  1175. from an entry with a specific :ID: property.
  1176. </li>
  1177. </ul>
  1178. <p>You can identify the entry whose column view you want to
  1179. capture by assigning an :ID: property, and use that property
  1180. in the dynamic block definition. For example:
  1181. </p>
  1182. <p>
  1183. <pre>
  1184. * Planning
  1185. :PROPERTIES:
  1186. :ID: planning-overview
  1187. :END:
  1188. [...]
  1189. * The column view
  1190. #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "planning-overview"
  1191. #+END:
  1192. </pre>
  1193. </p>
  1194. <p>
  1195. Use `C-c C-x r' to insert such a dynamic block, and you will
  1196. be prompted for the ID.
  1197. </p>
  1198. </li>
  1199. <li>
  1200. When the current column format displays TODO keyword,
  1201. priority or tags, these parts are stripped from the content
  1202. of the ITEM column, making for more compact and readable
  1203. entries. When any of these "properties" are not listed in
  1204. the current column format, they are instead retained in the
  1205. ITEM column.
  1206. </li>
  1207. <li>
  1208. You can now also edit the ITEM column with `e'.

  1211. <div class="outline-4">
  1212. <h4>The agenda dispatcher</h4>
  1213. <ul>
  1214. <li>
  1215. Instead of pressing `1' to restrict an agenda command to
  1216. the current buffer, or `0' to restrict it to the current
  1217. subtree or region, you can now also press `&lt;' once or
  1218. twice, respectively. This frees up `1' and `0' for user
  1219. commands, a request by Bastien. In fact, "&lt;" cycles
  1220. through different restriction states. "1" and "0" are
  1221. still available for backward compatibility, until you bind
  1222. them to custom commands.
  1223. </li>
  1224. <li>
  1225. The access code to custom agenda commands can now contain
  1226. several characters, effectively allowing to bundle several
  1227. similar commands into a sub-keymap. This follows an
  1228. excellent proposal by Adam Spiers. For example:
  1229. <p>
  1230. <pre>
  1231. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  1232. '(("h" . "HOME + Name tag searches") ; describe prefix "h"
  1233. ("hl" tags "+HOME+Lisa")
  1234. ("hp" tags "+HOME+Peter")
  1235. ("hk" tags "+HOME+Kim")))
  1236. </pre>
  1237. </p>

  1246. <h4>Sorting improvements</h4>
  1247. <p>
  1248. We are using a new routine for sorting entries, courtesy of
  1249. John Wiegley. Many thanks to John.
  1250. </p>
  1251. <ul>
  1252. <li>
  1253. You can define your own function to extract a sorting key
  1254. and in this way sort entries by anything you like.
  1255. </li>
  1256. <li>
  1257. Entries can now be sorted according to the value of a
  1258. property.
  1259. </li>
  1260. <li>
  1261. Plain lists can be sorted.
  1262. </li>

  1265. <h4>HTML &lt;div&gt; structure</h4>
  1266. <p>
  1267. There is now a &lt;div&gt;-based structure in exported HTML.
  1268. </p>
  1269. <ul>
  1270. <li>
  1271. The table of context is wrapped into a div with a class
  1272. "table-of-contents".
  1273. </li>
  1274. <li>
  1275. The outline structure is embedded in &lt;div&gt; elements with
  1276. classes "outline-1", "outline-2" etc.
  1277. </li>
  1278. <li>
  1279. The postamble, containing the author information and the
  1280. date is wrapped into a div with class "postamble".
  1281. </li>
  1282. </ul>
  1283. <p>I am not sure if the class names are the best choice, let me
  1284. know if there are more "canonical" choices.
  1285. </p>
  1286. <p>
  1287. Thanks to Mike Newman and Cezar for input, and in particular
  1288. to Mike for his clearly formulated specification.

  1291. <div class="outline-4">
  1292. <h4>Other stuff</h4>
  1293. <ul>
  1294. <li>
  1295. New variable `org-agenda-window-frame-fractions' to
  1296. customize the size limits of the agenda window in the case
  1297. that you display the agenda window by reorganizing the
  1298. frame.
  1299. </li>
  1300. <li>
  1301. Drawers can be set on a per-file basis using
  1302. <p>
  1303. <pre>
  1304. #+DRAWERS: HIDDEN STATE PROPERTIES
  1305. </pre>
  1306. </p>
  1307. <p>
  1308. This will define the drawers :HIDDEN: and :STATE:.
  1309. The :PROPERTY: drawer should always be part of this list, or
  1310. your properties will not be folded away.
  1311. Thanks to Richard G. Riley for this proposal.
  1312. </p>
  1313. </li>
  1314. <li>
  1315. `org-agenda-fontify-priorities' may now also be an
  1316. association list of priorities and faces, to specify the
  1317. faces of priorities in the agenda individually.
  1318. </li>
  1319. <li>
  1320. The variable `org-export-with-property-drawer' no longer
  1321. exists, please use `org-export-with-drawers' instead. Also,
  1322. the corresponding switch in the #+OPTIONS line has changed
  1323. from "p" to "d". Thanks to Bastien for pointing out that we
  1324. needed to handle not only the property drawer.
  1325. </li>
  1326. <li>
  1327. M-up and M-down now move the current line up and down (if
  1328. not at a headline, item or table). Among other things you
  1329. can use this to re-order properties in the drawer. This was
  1330. a proposal by Bastien.
  1331. </li>
  1332. <li>
  1333. New variable `org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date', based on a
  1334. request by Wanrong Lin.
  1335. </li>
  1336. <li>
  1337. Aborting remember template selection with C-g now kills the
  1338. remember buffer and restores the old window configuration.
  1339. This was a request by Nuutti Kotivuori.

  1392. Remember templates can now have a template name as the first
  1393. element. The name will be listed along with the selection
  1394. character when prompting for a template. It is best to have
  1395. the name start with the selection character, for example if

  1397. Thanks to Matiyam for this proposal.

  1399. <li>
  1400. `C-c C-k' will abort taking a note. You can use this in remember
  1401. buffers and when taking a logging note (e.g. for a state
  1402. change). Thanks to Bastien.
  1403. </li>
  1404. <li>

  1407. </li>
  1408. <li>
  1409. Lines in the agenda are now bold if they have priority A and

  1412. John Wiegley for the idea and code.
  1413. </li>
  1414. <li>
  1415. New variable `org-scheduled-past-days' to set the number a
  1416. scheduled item will be listed after its date has passed.
  1417. Default is 10000, i.e. indefinitely.
  1418. </li>
  1419. <li>
  1420. New variables `org-agenda-deadline-leaders' and
  1421. `org-agenda-scheduled-leaders' to adjust the leading text o
  1422. scheduled items and deadline in the agenda. Thanks to John
  1423. Wiegley for a patch.
  1424. </li>
  1425. <li>
  1426. New sparse tree function `org-sparse-tree'. This is now the
  1427. default binding for `C-c /'. It requires one additional
  1428. keypress to select a command, but in return is provides a
  1429. single interface to all the different sparse tree commands,
  1430. with full completion support.
  1431. </li>
  1432. <li>
  1433. The variable `org-ellipsis' now defaults to the face
  1434. `org-link' because the visibility of the dots is really bad
  1435. and I have found this change very useful indeed.
  1436. </li>
  1437. <li>
  1438. The #+OPTIONS line has a new option "tags" which can be used

  1441. </li>
  1442. <li>
  1443. New variable `org-use-property-inheritance'. Configure it
  1444. to `t' if you want that searching for entries with certain

  1524. :END:

  1533. The properties SUMMARY, DESCRIPTION and LOCATION have
  1534. special meaning during iCalendar export, when they translate
  1535. to the corresponding VEVENT and VTODO fields. If not given,
  1536. Org-ode continues to use cleaned-up version of the headline
  1537. and body as the summary and the description, respectively.
  1538. </li>
  1539. <li>
  1540. New function to go to the entry with the currently running
  1541. clock. Bound to `C-c C-x C-j', in agenda also to "J". If
  1542. you use this often, you might even want to assign a global
  1543. key. Thanks to Bernt and Bastien.
  1544. </li>
  1545. <li>
  1546. Clock entries can now have their own drawer, the :CLOCK:
  1547. drawer. Check out the variable `org-clock-into-drawer' for
  1548. configuration of this feature. The default is to create a
  1549. drawer when the second clocking line gets added to an entry.
  1550. Note that "CLOCK" has been added to the default value of
  1551. `org-drawers', but if you have configured that variable, you
  1552. must go back and add "CLOCK" yourself to get this drawer
  1553. folded away. Thanks to Tom Weissman for pointing out that
  1554. too many clock entries are visually annoying.
  1555. </li>
  1556. <li>
  1557. `C-c C-x C-r' no longer tries to find the first clocktable
  1558. in a buffer and then updates it. Instead, it will update
  1559. the clocktable at point if there is one (same as C-c C-c
  1560. will do if the cursor is in the "#+BEGIN" line of the
  1561. table). If there is none at point, a new one will be
  1562. inserted. This change was necessary because the new :scope
  1563. parameter allows to have several clocktables in a buffer.
  1564. Thanks to Bastien for pointing this out.
  1565. To update all dynamic blocks in a file, use `C-u C-c C-x C-u'.
  1566. </li>
  1567. <li>
  1568. The function `org-remember' can now be called with a
  1569. template selection key as argument. This helps to make key
  1570. bindings that go directly to a specific template without
  1571. being prompted for a template, like this:
  1572. <p>
  1573. <pre>
  1574. (global-set-key [f5] (lambda () (interactive) (org-remember "j")))
  1575. </pre>

  1577. <p>
  1578. Thanks to Richard G Riley for bringing this up.
  1579. </p>
  1580. </li>
  1581. <li>
  1582. `C-n' and `C-p' are back to their default binding
  1583. (next/previous line) in the agenda buffer. Enough people,
  1584. including recently Denis Bueno, have complained about this,
  1585. and I agree it is not good to break habits like that.
  1586. </li>
  1587. <li>
  1588. `C-x C-s' in an agenda buffer now saves all org-mode buffers
  1589. (also `s' does this).
  1590. </li>
  1591. <li>
  1592. Setting schedule or deadline dates from the agenda now
  1593. produces a note in the agenda, similarly to what happens
  1594. with S-left/right.
  1595. </li>
  1596. <li>
  1597. Using a prefix argument for `C-c C-d' or `C-c C-s' will
  1598. remove the deadline or scheduling date from an item. Thanks
  1599. to Wanrong Lin for this proposal.
  1600. </li>
  1601. <li>
  1602. New variable `org-agenda-compact-blocks'. When set, the
  1603. space between blocks in a block agenda is reduced as much as
  1604. possible, to show more items on a single screen.
  1605. </li>
  1606. <li>
  1607. The variable `org-agenda-tags-column' (renamed from
  1608. `org-agenda-align-tags-to-column') can now also be negative,

  1657. Both the category and the archive location in a (sub)tree of
  1658. the buffer can now be specified using a property, for
  1659. example:
  1660. <p>
  1661. <pre>
  1662. * Tree with special properties
  1663. :PROPERTIES:

  1666. :END:
  1667. </pre>
  1668. </p>
  1669. <p>
  1670. This is a much cleaner way of dealing with multiple
  1671. categories and archives in a single file. The preferred use
  1672. of the <code>#+CATEGORY</code> and <code>#+ARCHIVE</code> lines is now to set a
  1673. <b>single</b> default for the file which is then locally
  1674. overruled by properties. This was a proposal from Bastien
  1675. if I remember correctly. Multiple <code>#+</code> lines still work
  1676. and I don't plan to remove this support soon, but I
  1677. encourage you to stop using them.
  1678. </p>
  1679. </li>
  1680. <li>
  1681. The clocktable has a new <code>:scope</code> parameter that determines
  1682. the range in the file from which clock entries should be
  1683. taken. This can be anything from the local subtree to the
  1684. entire buffer to even the full list of agenda files. Legal
  1685. values are:
  1686. <table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups" frame="hsides">
  1687. <col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col>
  1688. <thead>

  1700. <p>
  1701. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer and Bernt Hansen for
  1702. inspiration. Thanks to cranreuch (what is you full name?)
  1703. for mentioning, at the right moment, that the clocktable is
  1704. not so bad - that remark made it seem worthwhile to add
  1705. features.
  1706. </p>
  1707. </li>
  1708. <li>
  1709. The commands to import a table and to convert a region to a
  1710. table can now handle comma-separated values (CSV). The
  1711. algorithm does not yet treat quoting correctly, but for
  1712. basic input it works.
  1713. </li>
  1714. <li>
  1715. When modifying an existing time stamp, or when entering the
  1716. second stamp of a range, the date prompt will now
  1717. consistently default to the date/time in the existing stamp.
  1718. This was triggered by Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
  1719. </li>
  1720. <li>
  1721. At the date/time prompt, there is a new way to specify a
  1722. range of hours, by using "+DURATION" after the time. For
  1723. example:
  1724. <p>
  1725. <pre>
  1726. 14:00+2 means 14:00-16:00
  1727. 2pm+2:30 means 14:00-16:30
  1728. </pre>

  1735. When you use the function `turn-on-orgstruct++' to turn on
  1736. orgstruct-mode, the special org-mode settings for
  1737. auto-filling, indentation and paragraphs are exported into
  1738. the buffer, so that typing list items with indentation works
  1739. better. This was Bastien's idea and request.
  1740. </li>
  1741. <li>
  1742. New variable `org-priority-start-cycle-with-default'. When
  1743. t (the default), priority cycling will initially set the
  1744. default priority and then increase or decrease. When nil,
  1745. the first priority set by cycling is already 1 different
  1746. from the default priority. This was mostly driven by
  1747. Bastien.
  1748. </li>
  1749. <li>
  1750. In column view: When an entry has a property for a summary
  1751. column defined, its value is normally overwritten by the sum
  1752. of all the children's values each time you enter column
  1753. view. Now there is an exception to this rule: If none of
  1754. the children has that particular property defined, the
  1755. parent's value stays. In this way you can still place TODO
  1756. items under such an entry without getting the property value
  1757. changed. Thanks to Russel Adams for pointing out that this
  1758. is a better way of doing things.
  1759. </li>
  1760. <li>
  1761. In column view, computed values are now bold face, and
  1762. trying to edit them is an error. I think this works, but
  1763. testing is appreciated.
  1764. </li>
  1765. <li>
  1766. New command `org-occur-in-agenda-files', this is basically
  1767. the quick command John Wiegley proposed the other day, but
  1768. it also works when the agenda files are not yet in buffers.
  1769. The key is `C-c C-x /', any better proposals?
  1770. </li>
  1771. <li>
  1772. Links containing a space will now be handled correctly when
  1773. calling the browser. Note that you need to enclose such

  1837. and a note.

  1839. </li>
  1840. <li>
  1841. You can now set the format of the string for each day in the
  1842. agenda and timeline buffers. You can use a format string
  1843. interpreted by `format-time-string', or you can write your
  1844. own function. Configure the new variable
  1845. `org-agenda-format-date'. Thanks to Levin for triggering
  1846. this development with a patch.
  1847. </li>
  1848. <li>
  1849. The default for `org-remember-store-without-prompt' is now
  1850. t, in order to better match the original intent of
  1851. remember.el (storing a note with minimum interruption of
  1852. work flow). Since we can assign files and headlines to
  1853. templates, I guess this takes care of selecting a filing
  1854. location in most cases. For interactive filing, you now
  1855. need a prefix command when exiting `remember'.
  1856. </li>
  1857. <li>
  1858. `org-goto' (bound to `C-c C-j') now uses an indirect buffer
  1859. and has additional commands enabled: Org-occur with `C-c /'
  1860. or even faster with `/', and the commands needed to select
  1861. and copy a region. This make `org-goto' a more general
  1862. lookup command instead of only a jumping command. Remember
  1863. that you can exit with `Q' to go back to the original
  1864. location. Thanks to William Henney for this idea.
  1865. </li>
  1866. <li>
  1867. Setting the priority with S-up/down now cycles back to a
  1868. state where no priority is specified. This was requested by
  1869. Rick Moynihan.
  1870. </li>
  1871. <li>
  1872. You can store a remember note to the <b>last used</b> location.
  1873. So if you select a location interactively once, you can
  1874. re-use it without having to find it again. For this, exit
  1875. the remember buffer with `C-u C-u C-c C-c'. The leading
  1876. comment in the remember buffer will tell exactly where the
  1877. note goes if you exit with a particular command.
  1878. Thanks to Maxim Loginov for this idea.
  1879. </li>
  1880. <li>
  1881. On Emacs 23, the headline faces for org-mode are now
  1882. inherited from the outline faces. This is just a
  1883. convenience, so that you only have to configure one set of
  1884. faces, and that will then be outline-1 .. outline-8. You
  1885. will actually not see any difference in org-mode, because
  1886. Stefan Monnier has made the outline faces in Emacs 23 to
  1887. match the current org-mode faces.
  1888. <p>
  1889. This change does not effect XEmacs, nor Emacs 21 and 22.

  1907. There is now a separate interface for fast and directly
  1908. setting a TODO keyword. This interface kicks in when you
  1909. have configured keys for TODO keywords like
  1910. <p>
  1911. <pre>
  1912. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | DONE(d) CANCELED(c)
  1913. </pre>
  1914. </p>
  1915. <p>
  1916. C-c C-t still does the cycling thing, you need to use a
  1917. prefix argument to get to the fast interface. Or configure
  1918. the variable `org-use-fast-todo-selection' to t, then this
  1919. will be the default and the prefix argument will make the
  1920. command fall back to cycling.
  1921. </p>
  1922. <p>
  1923. The tag selection no longer does include TODO keywords -
  1924. Leo's arguments have convinced me that this is not a good
  1925. idea. If you'd like to see the TODO keywords in the tags
  1926. interface anyway, set the variable
  1927. `org-fast-tag-selection-include-todo'. Thanks to Leo and
  1928. others for input on this issue.
  1929. </p>
  1930. </li>
  1931. <li>
  1932. New variable `org-edit-timestamp-down-means-later'. When
  1933. set, `S-down' on a timestamp will change the timestamp to
  1934. later. Thanks to Raman for this idea.
  1935. </li>
  1936. <li>
  1937. Property names can now contain non-ascii word characters.
  1938. This follows a request from Daniel Clemente.
  1939. </li>
  1940. <li>
  1941. For export, the date that should be given in the exported
  1942. file can now be set to a specific value with a line like
  1943. <p>
  1944. <pre>
  1945. #+DATE: 15 November 2003
  1946. </pre>
  1947. </p>
  1948. <p>
  1949. If you want to use the date/time when the file was created,
  1950. use a format string that will be interpreted by
  1951. `format-time-string', for example:
  1952. </p>
  1953. <p>
  1954. <pre>
  1955. #+DATE: %Y/%m/%d %X
  1956. </pre>
  1957. </p>
  1958. </li>
  1959. <li>
  1960. The default of `org-deadline-warning-days' has changed to 14
  1961. days. 30 was really too much, I suspect most people (me
  1962. included) have changed this.
  1963. </li>
  1964. <li>
  1965. When a deadline has an individual lead time, this lead time
  1966. obviously overrules `org-deadline-warning-days'. However,
  1967. if you bind `org-deadline-warning-days' to a number &lt;=0, for
  1968. example during a custom agenda command, then the absolute
  1969. value of this number will be enforced also when a different
  1970. lead time has been specified. This is useful to get a list
  1971. of all deadlines coming up in the next N days.

  2017. You can now define different faces for different TODO
  2018. keywords. This request has come up frequently, so here it
  2019. is: Use the variable `org-todo-keyword-faces'.
  2020. <p>
  2021. A Here is a configuration example:
  2022. </p>
  2023. <p>
  2024. <pre>
  2025. (setq org-todo-keyword-faces
  2026. '(("TODO" . org-warning)
  2027. ("DEFERRED" . shadow)
  2028. ("CANCELED" . (:foreground "blue" :weight bold
  2029. :underline t))))
  2030. </pre>
  2031. </p>
  2032. <p>
  2033. Org-mode continue still use `org-todo' and `org-done' for
  2034. keywords that have no specific face assigned.
  2035. </p>
  2036. </li>
  2037. <li>
  2038. Some People use TODO states more like tags. For them the
  2039. TODO keywords mark special states and they like to quickly
  2040. switch between states in arbitrary sequence. The standard
  2041. TODO interface is not perfect for this, because it assumes
  2042. that the states are reached in sequence. However, the fast
  2043. tag setting interface is in fact perfect for this. You can
  2044. now "misuse" the TAG selection interface to also set TODO
  2045. states. All you need to do is to assign keys to the TODO
  2046. states, just like you also do for tags.
  2047. <p>
  2048. <pre>
  2049. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | CANCELED(c) DONE(d)
  2050. #+TAGS: @HOME(h) @OFFICE(o) @SHOP(s)
  2051. </pre>
  2052. </p>
  2053. <p>
  2054. Next time you try to set tags with C-c C-c, the todo states
  2055. will be offered as well, and the corresponding key will
  2056. switch the entry to that state.
  2057. </p>
  2058. </li>
  2059. <li>
  2060. New variable `org-archive-save-context-info' governs if
  2061. information that would be lost by moving a subtree to the
  2062. archive file, should be stored as special properties. For
  2063. example,
  2064. <p>
  2065. <pre>
  2066. (setq org-archive-save-context-info '(itags category))
  2067. </pre>
  2068. </p>
  2069. <p>
  2070. will store the inherited tags and the category in properties
  2071. ARCHIVE_ITAGS and ARCHIVE_CATEGORY, respectively. The
  2072. default setting for this variable is to save everything that
  2073. could be lost. This was a proposal by John Wiegley.
  2074. </p>
  2075. </li>
  2076. <li>
  2077. Sorting (`C-c ^') can use the use the priority to sort. Use
  2078. the "p" and "P" keys at the prompt. John Wiegley, again.
  2079. </li>
  2080. <li>
  2081. `Org-ellipsis' can now also be a face to make the folding
  2082. ellipsis more visible. This is based on a post by Tassilo
  2083. Horn. Since `org-ellipsis' only works in Org-mode, you
  2084. might want to use Tassilo Horn's hack directly in order to
  2085. affect the folding ellipsis globally.
  2086. </li>
  2087. <li>
  2088. Scheduling info is no longer removed when an entry is marked
  2089. CLOSED. This was a request by Brian van den Broek. Let me
  2090. know if this breaks anything for you - then it will become
  2091. an option.
  2092. </li>
  2093. <li>
  2094. New option `org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files'. Currently,
  2095. if a file does not exist, it will be removed from

  2113. When exporting only a region and this region is a single
  2114. (sub)tree (for example selected with `C-c @'), the title for
  2115. the exported document is taken to be the heading of the
  2116. subtree. The sublevels become top-level entries in the
  2117. export. Furthermore, if the head entry of the tree has or
  2118. inherits an EXPORT_FILE_NAME property, that file name (with
  2119. appropriately substituted extension) will be used for the
  2120. exported tree. Thanks to Patrick Drechsler and Jost Burkart

  2123. <li>
  2124. org-special-ctrl-a/e has a third allowed value, `reversed'.
  2125. When it is set to this value, the first C-a or C-e command
  2126. behaves normally, i.e. it goes to the true beginning or end
  2127. of the line. Only when you press C-a or C-e immediately
  2128. again, the the "special" position will be found. Additional
  2129. presses of the same key jump between the two positions. I
  2130. like this a lot better than the `t' setting, because now the

  2220. The syntax is like this
  2221. <p>
  2222. <pre>
  2223. DEADLINE: &lt;2007-08-13 Mon -5d&gt;
  2224. </pre>
  2225. </p>
  2226. <p>
  2227. When combined with a repeater, the repeater has to come
  2228. first:
  2229. </p>
  2230. <p>
  2231. <pre>
  2232. DEADLINE: &lt;2007-08-13 Mon +2w -5d&gt;
  2233. </pre>
  2234. </p>
  2235. <p>
  2236. You may now also customize the faces that are used in the
  2237. agenda to indicate the distance of an approaching deadline.
  2238. See the new option `org-agenda-deadline-faces'.
  2239. </p>
  2240. <p>
  2241. Thanks to Pavel Chalmoviansky and John Wiegley proposals in
  2242. this direction.
  2243. </p>
  2244. </li>
  2245. <li>
  2246. New option `org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all'. When
  2247. set to nil, repeating time stamps will only show up once in
  2248. the agenda, either today or in the near future. Other
  2249. matches will be ignored. Thanks to John Wiegley for this
  2250. proposal.
  2251. </li>
  2252. <li>
  2253. New variable `org-remember-store-without-prompt'. When set,
  2254. exiting the remember buffer with C-c C-c will store the note
  2255. without further prompts to the default location, and `C-u
  2256. C-c C-c' will get the prompts for file and location. So
  2257. this variable reverses the prefix-argument functionality for
  2258. storing remember notes. This follows a request from John
  2259. Wiegley.
  2260. </li>
  2261. <li>
  2262. A new function `org-agenda-to-appt' activates all
  2263. appointments for the current day so that Emacs will display
  2264. reminders. This uses appt.el. Thanks to Bastien for this
  2265. function.
  2266. </li>
  2267. <li>
  2268. You can now set default values for properties that can be
  2269. inherited by all entries in a buffer, or by all entries
  2270. globally. Global properties are set in the variable
  2271. `org-global-properties', like this:
  2272. <p>
  2273. (setq org-global-properties '(("NAME" "This is the value")))
  2274. </p>
  2275. <p>
  2276. Buffer-local values are set like this:
  2277. </p>
  2278. <p>
  2279. #+PROPERTY: NAME This is the value
  2280. </p>
  2281. <p>
  2282. When using org-entry-get to get the value of a property with
  2283. the `inherit' flag and the hierarchy above the entry does
  2284. not contain this property, the buffer-local and global lists
  2285. are checked as well. This is mostly useful (I think) to set
  2286. the list of allowed values for a property. Thanks to Bernt
  2287. Hansen and Bastien for these ideas.

  2403. properties. Read the manual chapter 7 for details.
  2404. </li>
  2405. <li>
  2406. You can define <i>allowed values</i> for a property. When
  2407. these are defined, you can change the value of a property
  2408. with S-left and S-right. And you may use completion when
  2409. inserting the property. This goes a long way to prevent
  2410. typos when entering properties.

  2417. In column view, you may use the keys S-left/right (and
  2418. also the keys `n' and `p') to switch from one allowed
  2419. value to the next.
  2420. </li>
  2421. <li>
  2422. You can define summaries for columns. For example,
  2423. parents can contain the sum of all children values of a
  2424. property, or the parent node can have a check box property
  2425. that is automatically checked when all children's boxes are
  2426. checked.
  2427. </li>

  2502. <h4>Orgstruct minor mode</h4>
  2503. <p>
  2504. There is a new minor mode, orgstruct-mode. This modes works
  2505. in a similar way as Orgtbl-mode. It can be used to export
  2506. the Org-mode structure-editing commands into arbitrary major
  2507. modes in Emacs. For example, you can use it in Mail-mode to
  2508. easily create lists.
  2509. </p>
  2510. <p>
  2511. The functionality in Orgstruct mode is only active, if the
  2512. cursor is in a line that looks either like a headline, or
  2513. like the first line of a plain list item. Then the commands
  2514. `TAB', `M-cursor', `M-S-cursor', `M-RET', `M-S-RET', `C-c ^',
  2515. `C-c C-c', and `C-c -' will do structure-related editing just
  2516. like in Org-mode. If the cursor is not in such a line, all
  2517. these keys will do whatever the major mode or other active
  2518. minor modes have assigned to them.
  2519. </p>
  2520. <p>
  2521. Orgstruct-mode is the result of a proposal by Raman, quite
  2522. some time ago. It has taken a long time, but here is finally
  2523. the promised implementation.

  2527. <h4>Drawers</h4>
  2528. <p>
  2529. The new concept of <i>drawers</i> allows to create sections
  2530. that remain folded during visibility cycling. Drawers need
  2531. to be configured using the variable `org-drawers'. A drawer
  2532. starts with a line containing only the name of the drawer
  2533. bracketed by colons. It ends with :END:. For example,
  2534. after setting
  2535. </p>
  2536. <p>
  2537. <pre>
  2538. (setq org-drawers '("PROPERTIES" "HIDDEN"))
  2539. </pre>
  2540. </p>
  2541. <p>
  2542. you can then create drawers like this:
  2543. </p>
  2544. <p>
  2545. <pre>
  2546. :HIDDEN:
  2547. here is some stuff that remains hidden
  2548. unless TAB is pressed directly in that line
  2549. :END:
  2550. </pre>
  2551. </p>
  2552. <p>
  2553. The PROPERTIES drawer has special meaning for ORG-mode, it
  2554. contains properties of an entry (see below).
  2555. </p>
  2556. </div>
  2557. <div class="outline-4">
  2558. <h4>Properties and Column View</h4>
  2559. <ul>
  2560. <li>
  2561. Entries in Org-mode can now have arbitrary <i>properties</i>
  2562. associated with them. Org-mode handles some default
  2563. properties like the TODO state, the priority, the local
  2564. tags, and planning information like DEADLINE and SCHEDULED.
  2565. In addition, you can assign arbitrary properties by creating
  2566. a property drawer and inserting a line like
  2567. <p>
  2568. <pre>
  2569. :PROPNAME: This is the value of the property
  2570. </pre>
  2571. </p>
  2572. <p>
  2573. Org-mode has an API for properties, if you want to write a
  2574. program using properties, use the functions
  2575. `org-entry-properties', `org-entry-get', `org-entry-put',
  2576. and `org-entry-delete'.
  2577. </p>
  2578. </li>
  2579. <li>
  2580. Planning information like DEADLINE can be hidden in the
  2581. properties drawer.
  2582. <p>
  2583. If the PROPERTIES drawer starts in the first line after a
  2584. headline, also the DEADLINE, SCHEDULED and CLOCK information
  2585. will be inserted inside the drawer. If no PROPERTIES drawer
  2586. is present, or if it does not start in the line right after
  2587. the headline, this information remains in the lines directly
  2588. after the headline, outside the drawer.
  2589. </p>
  2590. </li>
  2591. <li>
  2592. TAGS searches can now also query properties. For example,
  2593. the search
  2594. <p>
  2595. <pre>
  2596. LEVEL=3+BOSS+ASSIGNED="Hans"/WAITING
  2597. </pre>
  2598. </p>
  2599. <p>
  2600. will find entries that
  2601. </p><ul>
  2602. <li>
  2603. are level 3
  2604. </li>
  2605. <li>
  2606. have the tag BOSS
  2607. </li>
  2608. <li>
  2609. have an ASSIGNED property with the value "Hans"
  2610. </li>
  2611. <li>
  2612. are TODO status WAITING.
  2613. <p>
  2614. So here is an entry that will match:
  2615. </p>
  2616. <p>
  2617. <pre>
  2618. *** WAITING Clean up the factory :BOSS:
  2619. :PROPERTIES:
  2620. :ASSIGNED: Hans
  2621. :END:
  2622. </pre>
  2623. </p>
  2624. <p>
  2625. You may also use a regular expression to match against a
  2626. property value. For example, to find stuff assigned to Hans
  2627. or Sarah, use
  2628. </p>
  2629. <p>
  2630. <pre>
  2631. ASSIGNED={^\(Hans\|Sarah\)$}
  2632. </pre>
  2633. </p>
  2634. </li>
  2635. </ul></li>
  2636. <li>
  2637. Column View is a special way to look at property values in
  2638. tabular form. Column View can be used in any org-mode
  2639. file, and also in any agenda buffer. It works by placing
  2640. an overlay over each headline (or agenda line) that shows a
  2641. table of selected properties. You can look at and edit
  2642. properties from this view. Which properties are shown in
  2643. the table must be set up using the COLUMNS property. You
  2644. can set up different property columns on different levels
  2645. of an outline tree. For example:
  2646. <p>
  2647. <pre>
  2648. * People
  2649. :PROPERTIES:
  2650. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name
  2651. :END:
  2652. ** Family
  2653. :PROPERTIES:
  2654. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %3Age
  2655. :END:
  2656. *** Sam
  2657. Info about Sam, including a property list with Name and Age.
  2658. *** Sarah
  2659. Info about Sarah, including a property list with Name and Age.
  2660. ** Office
  2661. :PROPERTIES:
  2662. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %Function %Salary
  2663. :END:
  2664. *** Boss
  2665. Info about the Boss, including a property list with Name,
  2666. Function and Salary (if only we knew....).
  2667. </pre>
  2668. </p>
  2669. <p>
  2670. Now we have defined three different sets of columns. If
  2671. you switch to column view in the <i>Family</i> section, you
  2672. will get a different table than if you do it in the
  2673. <i>Office</i> section. However, if you switch to column
  2674. view with the cursor on the <i>People</i> section, the
  2675. table will cover all entries, but contain only the
  2676. <i>Name</i>.
  2677. </p>
  2678. <p>
  2679. Column view does, for the time being, only work on Emacs.
  2680. The XEmacs implementation needs a bit of work.
  2681. </p>
  2682. </li>
  2683. <li>
  2684. Properties can be used in table formulas. To access the
  2685. value of the property :XYZ:, use $PROP_XYZ. The property
  2686. needs to be defined in the hierarchy above the table, not
  2687. necessarily in the same entry as the table. This was a
  2688. request by Eddward. File-wide constants can be defined with
  2689. #+CONSTANTS, see below.

  2723. <ul>
  2724. <li>
  2725. In the spreadsheet, the evaluation of formulas has changed.
  2726. Previously, first the column formulas would be evaluated
  2727. everywhere, and then the field formulas would kick in, and
  2728. in some cases overwrite the results of column formulas in
  2729. the appropriate fields. This had the side effect that some
  2730. formulas might always use the wrong, intermediate content of
  2731. a field that is computed both by a column and a field
  2732. formula.
  2733. <p>
  2734. From now on, column formulas will no longer temporarily
  2735. overwrite field formulas. This gives much more consistent
  2736. results. For example you can now finally have a column of
  2737. increasing numbers by setting the first field to a fixed
  2738. number, and let the rest follow from a column formula.
  2739. </p>
  2740. <p>
  2741. Here is an example
  2742. </p>
  2743. <p>
  2744. <pre>
  2745. | 1 |

  2749. </pre>
  2750. </p>
  2751. </li>
  2752. <li>
  2753. Constants for formulas in spreadsheets are globally defined
  2754. with the variable `org-table-formula-constants'. File-local
  2755. constants can now be set with a line like:
  2756. <p>
  2757. <pre>
  2758. #+CONSTANTS: c=299792458. pi=3.14 eps=2.4e-6

  2766. <li>
  2767. When entries are archived, a timestamp for the moment of
  2768. archiving is added to the line with planning information.

  2863. <ul>
  2864. <li>
  2865. There is now a special version of `org.el' for XEmacs.
  2866. Before installation, as an XEmacs user you must rename the
  2867. file org_xemacs.el to org.el, i.e. you must overwrite org.el
  2868. with the xemacs version. For example:
  2869. <p>
  2870. <pre>
  2871. mv org_xemacs.el org.el
  2872. </pre>
  2873. </p>
  2874. <p>
  2875. This is necessary so that I can make use of some features
  2876. that would be cumbersome to support in a single file. The
  2877. XEmacs version is derived from the Emacs version with a
  2878. program, so no reason to fear that I might be dropping
  2879. XEmacs support any time soon. Sorry for the trouble.

  2884. <h3>Details</h3>
  2885. <ul>
  2886. <li>
  2887. A time stamp may now contain a range of times. So you no
  2888. longer need to use two separate stamps to indicate a time
  2889. interval on a single day. For example
  2890. <p>
  2891. <pre>
  2892. &lt;2007-06-18 Mon 17:30-18:20&gt;
  2893. </pre>
  2894. </p>
  2895. <p>
  2896. This is now fully supported, including changing the time
  2897. with S-up/down while the cursor is on the end time. Also,
  2898. da the date/time prompt, you can simply write your time like
  2899. 12:00-14:00 and the range will be inserted.
  2900. </p>
  2901. <p>
  2902. This was proposed by Leo some time ago, and recently by
  2903. Michael.
  2904. </p>
  2905. </li>
  2906. <li>
  2907. You may specify clocking times by hand (i.e. without
  2908. clocking in and out) using this syntax.
  2909. <p>
  2910. <pre>
  2911. CLOCK: =&gt; 2:00
  2912. </pre>
  2913. </p>
  2914. <p>
  2915. Thanks to Scott Jaderholm for this proposal.
  2916. </p>
  2917. </li>
  2918. <li>
  2919. TAGS may now contain language-specific word characters, as
  2920. long as they are matched by the "[:alnum:]" regexp syntax.
  2921. This is for Emacs only, the XEmacs version continues to use
  2922. the character class "a-zA-Z0-9_@" for tag names. Thanks to
  2923. David Smith for a patch to this effect (a modified version
  2924. of that patch was applied). I am considering to make the
  2925. same change for TODO keywords, but not yet. Note that files
  2926. using localization features may not work correctly in the
  2927. Emacs configuration of another user, so if you are sharing
  2928. org-mode files with other users, it might still be best to
  2929. stick to the ASCII characters.
  2930. </li>
  2931. <li>
  2932. Promotion and demotion of plain list items (commands M-left,
  2933. M-right) no longer changes the indentation by just one
  2934. space. Instead, it uses intelligence gathered from the
  2935. surrounding list structure to do the right thing. Thanks to
  2936. William Henney for starting the discussion about this.
  2937. </li>
  2938. <li>
  2939. TAB does now a better job of indenting lines.
  2940. <ul>
  2941. <li>
  2942. After tables and code segments (lines starting with ":"),
  2943. indentation goes back to what it was before (thanks to
  2944. William Henney for suggesting this behavior).
  2945. </li>
  2946. <li>
  2947. When plain lists items are involved, we had a long
  2948. discussion on emacs-orgmode where I tried to show that a
  2949. too-sophisticated implementation will still be easily
  2950. fooled. Here is what I have implemented now - lets see
  2951. if we can agree on this:
  2952. <p>
  2953. Indentation will flatten lists with the same bullet type,
  2954. but indent another bullet type further. The time when
  2955. this fails is in a nested list, when you want to get back
  2956. out to a previous level. For example
  2957. </p>
  2958. <p>
  2959. <pre>
  2960. - item 1
  2961. - item 2
  2962. + item 2a
  2963. + item 2b
  2964. - item 3
  2965. </pre>
  2966. </p>
  2967. <p>
  2968. When using TAB on every line in this list, the structure
  2969. will change to
  2970. </p>
  2971. <p>
  2972. <pre>
  2973. - item 1
  2974. - item 2
  2975. + item 2a
  2976. + item 2b
  2977. - item 3
  2978. </pre>
  2979. </p>
  2980. <p>
  2981. So you need to change the level of the last line by hand,
  2982. using promotion and demotion functions.

  3011. You can now specify column groups in tables, to the effect
  3012. that the groups will be separated by vertical lines in HTML
  3013. and ASCII output. Column groups are specified by the
  3014. characters "&lt;" and "&gt;" in a special table row. "&lt;" starts a
  3015. group, "&gt;" ends a group (in each case including the the
  3016. column where the character is specified). You may also use
  3017. "&lt;&gt;" to make a group a single column wide. For example:
  3018. <p>
  3019. <pre>
  3020. | | N | N^2 | N^3 | N^4 | sqrt(n) | sqrt[4](N) |
  3021. |---+----+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
  3022. | / | &lt;&gt; | &lt; | | &gt; | &lt; | &gt; |
  3023. | # | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
  3024. | # | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 1.4142 | 1.1892 |
  3025. | # | 3 | 9 | 27 | 81 | 1.7321 | 1.3161 |
  3026. #+TBLFM: $3=$2^2::$4=$2^3::$5=$2^4::$6=sqrt($2)::$7=sqrt(sqrt(($2))
  3027. </pre>
  3028. </p>
  3029. <p>
  3030. A table row with with nothing but "/" in the first field is
  3031. never exported, but can be used to place column group
  3032. information into the table. In this table, we create a
  3033. group for column 2, one for columns 3-5 and one for columns
  3034. 6-7. HTML export will render a vertical line between these
  3035. groups.
  3036. </p>
  3037. <p>
  3038. Because HTML does not require closing &lt;colgroup&gt; tags with
  3039. &lt;/colgroup&gt;), you can also simply start a new column
  3040. wherever you want a vertical line:
  3041. </p>
  3042. <p>
  3043. <pre>
  3044. | N | N^2 | N^3 | N^4 | sqrt(n) | sqrt[4](N0 |
  3045. |---+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
  3046. | / | &lt; | &lt; | | &lt; | |
  3047. </pre>
  3048. </p>
  3049. </li>
  3050. <li>
  3051. Vertical lines are now also omitted in ASCII export, unless
  3052. grouping explicitly requests these lines.
  3053. </li>
  3054. <li>
  3055. The default for `org-show-following-heading' is now nil,
  3056. meaning that sparse trees will be more compact. This has
  3057. become possible due to in important remark by Jason Dunsmore
  3058. who pointed out that TAB should behave differently in the
  3059. inconsistent trees produced by the sparse tree commands.
  3060. TAB does now make sure that the heading after a freshly
  3061. unfolded tree is made visible at all, removing the confusing
  3062. behavior we had before.
  3063. </li>
  3064. <li>
  3065. Several bugs fixed. In particular:
  3066. <ul>
  3067. <li>
  3068. Strings produced by agenda batch processing with
  3069. `org-batch-agenda' and `org-batch-agenda-csv' are now
  3070. properly encoded, so that you should be able to use
  3071. special characters in other languages as along as your
  3072. post-processing program handles them correctly. At least
  3073. for Emacs this should work now, but have not yet figured
  3074. out how to do this in XEmacs.

  3161. <ul>
  3162. <li>
  3163. You can use an sexp diary entry (with the syntax used by the
  3164. Emacs calendar/diary) in a time stamp, like this:
  3165. <p>
  3166. *** The nerd club meets on 2nd Thursday of every month
  3167. </p></li>
  3168. </ul>

  3170. </p>
  3171. <ul>
  3172. <li>
  3173. You can put diary-style sexp entries directly into an
  3174. org-mode file, where they will be interpreted just like they
  3175. would in the diary. For example
  3176. <ul>
  3177. <li>
  3178. Birthdays and similar stuff
  3179. </li>
  3180. </ul>
  3181. <p>#+CATEGORY: Holiday
  3182. %%(org-calendar-holiday) ; special function for holiday names
  3183. #+CATEGORY: Ann
  3184. %%(diary-anniversary 14 5 1956) Artur Dent %d is years old
  3185. %%(diary-anniversary 2 10 1869) Mahatma Gandhi
  3186. </p>
  3187. <p>
  3188. These entries must start at column 0 to be evaluated.
  3189. </p>
  3190. <p>
  3191. It turns out that evaluating the entries in an org-mode file
  3192. is actually faster than in the diary itself, because using
  3193. the diary has some overhead (creating fancy diary display,
  3194. then reading and re-interpreting the entries). I have moved
  3195. all the sexp entries from my diary into an org-mode file,
  3196. put in a few categories, and then turned off
  3197. `org-agenda-include-diary'. This has led to a noticeably
  3198. faster agenda display.
  3199. </p>
  3200. </li>
  3201. <li>
  3202. New command `org-replace-region-by-html' that converts the
  3203. current region from org-mode syntax into HTML. For example,
  3204. you might write an itemized list in plain text in an HTML
  3205. buffer, and then invoke this command to convert it. Thanks
  3206. to Raman for this idea.
  3207. </li>
  3208. <li>
  3209. When inserting a link with `C-c C-l', completion will now
  3210. fill in all valid link prefixes, like http or ftp, but also
  3211. link abbreviation prefixes. This is based on an idea by
  3212. Bastien.

  3215. Highest, lowest, and default priority can be set on a
  3216. per-file basis with #+PRIORITIES: H L D
  3217. For example, to use priorities from 1 to 9, you could use
  3218. <p>
  3219. #+PRIORITIES: 1 9 9

  3221. <p>
  3222. Thanks to Dmitri Minaev for a patch to this effect.
  3223. </p>

  3225. <li>
  3226. iCalendar export now honors (i.e. skips) subtrees marked as
  3227. ARCHIVE, COMMENT, or QUOTE.
  3228. </li>
  3229. <li>
  3230. There is a new command to add or change the emphasis (like
  3231. bold or italic) of a piece of text. For lack of better
  3232. available keys the command is at `C-c C-x C-f', but you may
  3233. well want to choose a more convenient key like `C-c f' in
  3234. your private setup:
  3235. <p>
  3236. (add-hook 'org-load-hook
  3237. (lambda () (define-key org-mode-map "\C-cf" 'org-emphasize)))
  3238. </p>
  3239. <p>
  3240. The command will prompt for an emphasis type, and you may
  3241. reply either with the marker that triggers the emphasis, or
  3242. with the first letter of the corresponding HTML tag. For
  3243. example, to select italic, press either "/" or "i".
  3244. </p>
  3245. <p>
  3246. If there is an active region, the emphasis of this region
  3247. will be set or changed. If there is no region, only the
  3248. emphasis markers will be inserted and the cursor positioned
  3249. between them. Thanks to Bastien for proposing this feature.
  3250. </p>
  3251. </li>
  3252. <li>
  3253. Bug fixes, everything where I have replied "fixed" on the
  3254. mailing list. Thanks to all of you for keeping these reports
  3255. coming.

  3262. <h3>Overview</h3>
  3263. <p>
  3264. This release is about exporting agenda views, to HTML, to
  3265. postscript for printing, and to a special format (CSV) for
  3266. further processing in scripts.

  3279. <ul>
  3280. <li>
  3281. Agenda views can be exported as plain text, as HTML, and as
  3282. Postscript(R). This can simply be done from the agenda
  3283. buffer with `C-x C-w' and then specifying a filename like
  3284. `myagenda.html' or `myagenda.ps'. See section 8.6.4 of the
  3285. manual.
  3286. </li>
  3287. <li>
  3288. Each custom agenda view can specify a list of associated
  3289. files names. The command `C-c a e' then creates all views
  3290. that have associated file names and exports the views to
  3291. these files. This is great for producing paper versions of
  3292. your views, to take with you when you don't have your
  3293. computer. The manual has an example on how to do this, and
  3294. in particular on how to customize the format of the printed
  3295. version. See section 8.6.4 of the manual.
  3296. </li>
  3297. <li>
  3298. You can produce a CSV format of agenda information with an
  3299. Emacs batch command. This is greate for further processing
  3300. in scipts. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for this idea.
  3301. See section 8.6.5 of the manual.
  3302. </li>
  3303. <li>
  3304. New variable `org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done'. When set,
  3305. a deadline associated with a DONE item will not be shown in
  3306. the agenda. This is based upon a report by Denis Bueno.

  3352. <li>
  3353. The option `org-format-latex-options' has changed. If you
  3354. have customized it, please revert to default and then redo
  3355. your customization.
  3356. </li>
  3357. <li>
  3358. `org-CUA-compatible' no longer modifies S-RET by default,
  3359. because newer versions of CUA don't use this key anymore.
  3360. If you need this replacement, customize the variable
  3361. `org-disputed-keys'.
  3362. </li>
  3363. <li>
  3364. The variable `org-CUA-compatible' is obsolete, please use
  3365. `org-replace-disputed-keys' instead. `org-CUA-compatible'
  3366. is still an alias for this new variable, though.

  3369. <div class="outline-3">
  3370. <h3>Details</h3>
  3371. <ul>
  3372. <li>
  3373. Better control over blank lines between trees in collapsed
  3374. view. This has come up several times in the past and most
  3375. recently by Scott Jaderholm. There is now a new variable
  3376. `org-cycle-separator-lines' with default value 2. It says
  3377. how many empty lines there need to be after the end of a
  3378. subtree to get an empty line in collapsed view. So with the
  3379. default, if you leave only one empty line it will disappear
  3380. in collapsed view. If you leave two, one empty line will
  3381. remain so that you can use double empty lines to structure
  3382. the collapsed views of a file. I love it, so many thanks to
  3383. Scott fro bringing this up again.
  3384. <p>
  3385. One property of the new setup is that you will never get
  3386. more than one blank line in collapsed view. We could do
  3387. something special to allow <b>several</b> empty lines in
  3388. collapsed view, but I think this is counter-productive.
  3389. </p>
  3390. <p>
  3391. In Emacs 22, if you want to make full use of this, make sure
  3392. that you have not set `outline-blank-line'.
  3393. </p>
  3394. </li>
  3395. <li>
  3396. When the clock is running, Org-mode will put info about it
  3397. into the modeline. The info consists of the elapsed time
  3398. and the heading of the clocked item. This was a proposal
  3399. from Bastien who got the idea from Muse.
  3400. </li>
  3401. <li>
  3402. C-a can behave specially in headlines when you set the
  3403. variable `org-special-ctrl-a'. It will bring the cursor
  3404. first back only to the beginning of the headline <b>text</b>,
  3405. i.e. after the stars and the TODO keyword, if any. A second
  3406. C-a will then move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
  3407. If the cursor is already at the beginning of the line, C-a
  3408. will spring <b>forward</b> to the headline text. This was a
  3409. proposal from Leo, based on a request from Scott Jaderholm.
  3410. <p>
  3411. I have not turned this turned this on by default, should I?
  3412. </p>
  3413. </li>
  3414. <li>
  3415. When LaTeX fragments are processed into images, there is now
  3416. more control and (hopefully) betters defaults for colors and
  3417. scaling. Special values can be set for HTML export, so that
  3418. these values can differ from what is used for display in an
  3419. emacs buffer. The default foreground and background colors
  3420. for images embedded in emacs are now taken from the default
  3421. emacs face. Thanks to Xiao-Yong Jin for proposing these
  3422. changes.
  3423. </li>
  3424. <li>
  3425. There is now a much better mechanism to change some keys in
  3426. org-mode if these keys clash with other modes you use. Turn
  3427. this on by setting `org-replace-disputed-keys' (aliased to
  3428. `org-CUA-compatible'). The list of keys to replace is now
  3429. fully customizable, see the option `org-disputed-keys'.
  3430. Many thanks to Meciej Katafiasz for a patch implementing
  3431. this.
  3432. </li>
  3433. <li>
  3434. Stuck project descriptions have been extended. You can now
  3435. use "*" as a TODO keyword or tag to say that <b>any</b> TODO
  3436. keyword or TAG marks a project as non-stuck. You also can
  3437. give an arbitrary regular expression that, if it matches,
  3438. indicates a non-stuck project.
  3439. </li>
  3440. <li>
  3441. The code for emphasis like bold, italic etc has been
  3442. modified - I might have broken something in the process,
  3443. please let me know if you find problems.
  3444. </li>
  3445. <li>

  3475. The prefix version of `org-todo-list' works again. This
  3476. means that `C-1 C-c a t' produces the list of TODO entries
  3477. for the first TODO keyword. If you use different TODO setups
  3478. in different agenda files, be careful: This number now
  3479. refers to the list of <b>all</b> todo keywords used in files

  3513. Further development concerning TODO keywords.
  3514. <ul>
  3515. <li>
  3516. You can now have several DONE states in a sequence, like
  3517. <p>
  3518. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE DELEGATED
  3519. </p>
  3520. <p>
  3521. The difference to the proposal discussed on the mailing
  3522. list (and which is also works!)
  3523. </p>
  3524. <p>
  3525. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE
  3526. #+SEQ_TODO: | CANCELED
  3527. </p>
  3528. <p>
  3529. is that in the first case, the extra DONE states will be
  3530. reached with `C-c C-t' (or with `t' from the agenda), while
  3531. in the second case you need S-&lt;right&gt; to get to the special
  3532. states. I guess both ideas can be useful - I am leaning
  3533. toward using the latter.
  3534. </p>
  3535. </li>
  3536. <li>
  3537. Setting up TODO keywords in Lisp previously used two
  3538. separate variables: `org-todo-keywords' and
  3539. `org-todo-interpretation'. The preferred way is now to use
  3540. only `org-todo-keywords', with a new structure:
  3541. <p>
  3542. (setq org-todo-keywords
  3543. '((sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE")
  3544. (sequence "BUG" "KNOWNCAUSE" "|" "FIXED" "IGNORED")
  3545. (type "Fred" "Lisa" "Peter" "|" "DONE")
  3546. (sequence "CANCELED") ; for things we decide to not do.
  3547. ))
  3548. </p>
  3549. <p>
  3550. If your setting has this new structure,
  3551. `org-todo-interpretation' will be ignored. This change
  3552. does not break backward compatibility. The old way of
  3553. using a flat list in `org-todo-keywords' and taking the
  3554. interpretation from the other variable still works.
  3555. </p>
  3556. </li>
  3557. <li>
  3558. When listing <b>specific</b> TODO entries via a sparse tree
  3559. (`C-u C-c C-v') or via the agenda (`C-c a T' or `C-u C-c a
  3560. t'), you can now specify several keywords to be selected,
  3561. like "TODO|VERIFY|WAITING". This also works for custom
  3562. agenda commands. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for pointing
  3563. out this omission.
  3564. </li>
  3565. </ul></li>
  3566. <li>
  3567. If you have configured Org-mode to export also the text
  3568. before the first headline (this is done by setting the
  3569. variable `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil),
  3570. then the first normal text line in the buffer becomes the
  3571. title of the exported document. A title set with #+TITLE
  3572. overules this default, and the first line then belongs to the
  3573. normal text. Thanks to David House for this proposal.
  3574. </li>
  3575. <li>
  3576. TTY replacement keys. Some of the key bindings used by
  3577. Org-mode do not work on a tty, so replacement key sequences
  3578. are provided on ttys. In version 4.70, there are some
  3579. changes in the tty replacements. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer
  3580. for coming up with the idea to use C-c &lt;cursor&gt; keys.

  3604. This time the changes affect the following areas:
  3605. </p>
  3606. <ul>
  3607. <li>
  3608. TODO keywords: Multiple sequences in a single file.

  3630. <h3>Incompatible changes</h3>
  3631. <ul>
  3632. <li>
  3633. It used to be possible to spread the list of TODO keywords
  3634. over several lines, like
  3635. <p>
  3636. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO
  3637. #+SEQ_TODO: PROGRESS
  3638. #+SEQ_TODO: DONE
  3639. </p>
  3640. <p>
  3641. This is no longer possible. Each such line now specifies an
  3642. independent set of TODO keywords, with its own DONE state.
  3643. See below for details.
  3644. </p>
  3645. </li>
  3646. <li>
  3647. The #+TEXT construct has been used to insert unchanged HTML
  3648. into an exported file. This is no longer possible, the TEXT
  3649. lines will be processed like any other lines. However,
  3650. there are now much better ways of getting quoted HTML into
  3651. the exported file.
  3652. </li>
  3653. </ul></div>
  3654. <div class="outline-3">
  3655. <h3>Details</h3>
  3656. <ul>
  3657. <li>
  3658. You can now use multiple sets of TODO keywords in the same
  3659. buffer. For example, you may put the following three lines
  3660. into a file:
  3661. <p>
  3662. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE
  3663. #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED
  3664. #+TYP_TODO: Fred Laura Peter Me OK
  3665. </p>
  3666. <p>
  3667. Each sub-sequence has its own DONE state. It is best to use
  3668. different keywords in all sequences, to make sure Org-mode
  3669. does not loose track in which specific sequence it is
  3670. working. You could use the same word for all DONE states,
  3671. but then cycling through to a TODO state might not bring you
  3672. where you want to be.
  3673. </p>
  3674. <p>
  3675. After initially setting a keyword, `C-c C-t' cycles through
  3676. a sublist, i.e. is cycles from TODO to DONE or from
  3677. KNOWNCAUSE to RESOLVED and further to (nothing) and back to
  3678. REPORT.
  3679. </p>
  3680. <p>
  3681. S-right and S-left allow to select any keyword, so they move
  3682. from DONE to REPORT and from RESOLVED to Fred.
  3683. </p>
  3684. <p>
  3685. C-S-right and C-S-left jump from one sub-sequence to the
  3686. next, for example from TODO or DONE to REPORT to Fred.
  3687. </p>
  3688. <p>
  3689. Thanks to Rick Moynihan for triggering this development.

  3693. Text before the first headline can now be exported if you
  3694. configure Org-mode accordingly. Either set the variable
  3695. `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil, or use the
  3696. new in-buffer option

  3700. </li>
  3701. <li>
  3702. Export content specified via the #+TEXT construct is now
  3703. fully processed, i.e. links, emphasis etc. are all
  3704. interpreted. #+TEXT lines may include
  3705. #+BEGIN_HTML&hellip;#+END_HTML sections to embed literal HTML.
  3706. </li>
  3707. <li>
  3708. During HTML export, you can request to have a<sub>b</sub>
  3709. interpreted as a subscript, but to leave a_b as it is. This
  3710. can be done by setting the variable
  3711. org-export-sub-superscript to the symbol `{}' with
  3712. <p>
  3713. (setq org-export-sub-superscript '{})

  3725. <li>
  3726. New variable `org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
  3727. Default is nil, meaning that empty lines are part of the
  3728. previous list item, and that you can have several paragraphs
  3729. in one such item. Set this to t if you want an empty line
  3730. terminate all levels of plain list items.
  3731. <p>
  3732. Thanks to Mike Newman for triggering this development.
  3733. </p>
  3734. </li>
  3735. <li>
  3736. C-c RET does insert a horizontal separator line and move the
  3737. cursor into the table line below it. Thanks to Bastien for
  3738. this proposal.
  3739. </li>
  3740. <li>
  3741. Org-mode always offers you to record a note when a TODO item
  3742. automatically repeats, even if you are not logging state
  3743. changes. The new variable `org-log-repeat' allows to turn
  3744. this off, so that notes are really only been taken if you
  3745. are logging all state changes.

  3915. #+OPTIONS: H:4 toc:2
  3916. </p>

  3918. <li>
  3919. The command `C-c }' toggles the display of row and column numbers
  3920. the the current table, to aid constructing formulas. To try it,
  3921. move the cursor to a table and press `C-c }', or use the menu
  3922. entry.

  3924. <li>
  3925. Orgtbl translation functions (introduced in 4.65) have been
  3926. simplified using a generic function `orgtbl-to-generic' that can

  3928. should be very easy now. More info in the manual.

  3959. <h3>Detailed description of changes</h3>
  3960. <ul>
  3961. <li>
  3962. You can use orgtbl mode to maintain a LaTeX table, or pretty much
  3963. any table in any mode.
  3964. <p>
  3965. This does <b>not</b> work by making Orgtbl aware of LaTeX syntax. That
  3966. would be a box of Pandora I am not willing to open. Instead, you
  3967. use a normal Orgtbl-mode table, and a converter program to
  3968. automatically place a LaTeX version of the table into the correct
  3969. spot in the LaTeX file. The orgtbl-mode table can be maintained
  3970. inside the same file, in a block comment.
  3971. </p>
  3972. <p>
  3973. I am providing translators for LaTeX, HTML, and TeXInfo. For
  3974. other applications, you need to write one yourself - but that is
  3975. not hard if you start from the LaTeX version and just modify it.
  3976. Thanks to Thomas Baumann for triggering this development through
  3977. a request for a table-to-LaTeX converter.
  3978. </p>
  3979. </li>
  3980. <li>
  3981. In the special buffer to edit the formulas of a table (created
  3982. with "C-c '"), there is now better support for editing Lisp
  3983. formulas. TAB and M-TAB work like in an Emacs Lisp buffer,
  3984. indenting lines and completing lisp symbols. With the cursor on
  3985. a line defining a complex Lisp formula, a first press on TAB will
  3986. convert the formula into a pretty-printed version with proper
  3987. linebreaks and indentation. A second TAB folds the line back to
  3988. the compact form.
  3989. </li>
  3990. <li>
  3991. Tables in HTML export have now additional structure elements
  3992. defined. The header (before the first hline) is wrapped into
  3993. &lt;thead&gt;..&lt;/thead&gt;, and each part of the body (as separated in
  3994. org-mode by hlines) is wrapped into &lt;tbody&gt;..&lt;/tbody&gt; tags. I
  3995. have also changed the CSS style for &lt;td&gt; fields and the value of
  3996. `org-export-html-table-tag' to get cleaner tables. Basically,
  3997. tables now have horizontal lines only where needed, and no
  3998. vertical lines at all, as generally recommended for tables in
  3999. printed text. I like the new look, but I am not sure if this
  4000. change will find general approval, please throw in your view if
  4001. you like. Thanks to Scott for driving this, and to goud-H for
  4002. pointing me to the row grouping in tables.
  4003. </li>
  4004. <li>
  4005. In a table with calculation markers in the first column, you can
  4006. now also put "/" into the first column. It indicates that this
  4007. line should not be exported. The foremost application for this
  4008. are lines containing only "&lt;N&gt;" markers for narrowing columns.

  4036. <li>
  4037. The descriptive part of links to email messages can be configured
  4038. using the variable `org-email-link-description-format'. The new
  4039. default is "Email %c: %.30s" and leads to
  4040. <p>
  4041. Email from NAME: SUBJECT
  4042. </p>
  4043. <p>
  4044. If you configure the variable `org-from-is-user-regexp'
  4045. correctly, then for email you <b>sent</b> this will actually change to
  4046. </p>
  4047. <p>
  4048. Email to NAME: SUBJECT
  4049. </p>
  4050. <p>
  4051. The subject is limited to 30 characters. If you have become
  4052. attached to the previous default (look twice, the new one is
  4053. better), use "%f on: %s" as your format.
  4054. </p>
  4055. </li>
  4056. <li>
  4057. Selecting text before entering a new link with C-c C-l now really
  4058. works, the selected text becomes the description part of the
  4059. link. Requested by Scott, buggy 4.62 implementation is now fixed.
  4060. </li>
  4061. <li>
  4062. Stored links are part of the history list for C-c C-l, so to
  4063. reach them, you can use up/down rather than completion. Thanks
  4064. to Raman for this excellent idea.
  4065. </li>
  4066. <li>
  4067. A line consisting only of "-", and at least 5 of them, is
  4068. exported into HTML as &lt;hr/&gt;, as proposed by Giovanni Ridolfi.
  4069. </li>
  4070. <li>
  4071. Several changes to org &lt;-&gt; remember integration
  4072. <ul>
  4073. <li>
  4074. You can use `org-remember' as your default command to start
  4075. remember. It will automatically detect if there is an active
  4076. region and use it as initial content (we will probably make
  4077. remember.el work like this as well).
  4078. Also, when calling `org-remember' in a remember buffer that
  4079. was created with a template, you will again be asked to
  4080. select a template. The buffer is then re-created with the
  4081. new template, but the old context information. This is
  4082. useful if you change your mind about the template to use
  4083. (Leo's idea).
  4084. </li>
  4085. <li>
  4086. Besides specifying a default <b>target</b> file for a note, you
  4087. can also give a default <b>heading</b> of which the note should
  4088. become a subitem. In many cases this avoids or speeds up
  4089. navigating to the right location. Both file and heading can
  4090. be different for each template. Both are non-binding, you
  4091. can change them while storing the note. However, when you
  4092. exit remember with C-u C-c C-c, these defaults will be used
  4093. without interaction.
  4094. </li>
  4095. <li>
  4096. Templates can specify interactive fields. During expansion
  4097. of the template, you will be prompted for the information in
  4098. that field. For example %^t will pop up a calendar and ask
  4099. you to select a date. This new feature follows a proposal
  4100. from Leo, who in the mean time has said he does not need it
  4101. anymore. But I liked it, so here it is :-)
  4102. </li>
  4103. <li>
  4104. Templates can access information specific to the link type
  4105. created, for example the author and subject of an email.
  4106. Syntax is %:fromname, %:fromaddress, %:subject etc, details
  4107. in the manual. Proposed by Peder O. Klingenberg.
  4108. </li>
  4109. <li>
  4110. I have been considering to move, at some stage, the template
  4111. functionality into remember.el itself - which would of course
  4112. require consent of the remember.el maintainers. I am not
  4113. sure how well this would work though, since some things like
  4114. the interactive time stamps are org.el specific, so treating
  4115. them would require special hooks. Comments?
