  7. * Version 9.0
  8. ** Incompatible changes
  9. *** New syntax for export blocks
  10. Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
  11. disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
  12. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  13. ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
  14. ...
  15. ,#+END_EXPORT
  16. #+END_SRC
  17. instead of
  18. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  19. ,#+BEGIN_backend
  20. ...
  21. ,#+END_backend
  22. #+END_SRC
  23. As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
  24. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  25. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
  26. #+END_SRC
  27. becomes
  28. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  29. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
  30. #+END_SRC
  31. The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
  32. using previous syntax:
  33. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  34. (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
  35. "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
  36. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  37. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  38. (back-end-re (regexp-opt
  39. '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
  40. "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
  41. t)))
  42. (org-with-wide-buffer
  43. (goto-char (point-min))
  44. (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
  45. (save-excursion
  46. (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
  47. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  48. (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
  49. (save-excursion
  50. (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
  51. (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
  52. (forward-char)
  53. (insert "EXPORT")
  54. (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
  55. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
  56. (let ((include-re
  57. (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
  58. (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
  59. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  60. (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
  61. (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
  62. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
  63. #+END_SRC
  64. Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~
  65. and ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to
  66. be removed.
  67. *** Footnotes
  68. **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
  69. Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
  70. it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
  71. constructs are now unsupported.
  72. If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them
  73. into =[fn:N]=.
  74. **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
  75. Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
  76. something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
  77. consider using =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
  78. In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
  79. exists.
  80. *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
  81. The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
  82. S-expressions. Replacing a S-expresion with an appropriate function
  83. is straightforward. For example
  84. : ("pdf" . (foo))
  85. becomes
  86. : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
  87. *** The ~{{{modification-time}}}~ macro can obtain time via =vc=
  88. The modification time will be determined via =vc.el= if the second
  89. argument is non-nil. See the manual for details.
  90. *** Preparation and completion functions in publishing projects change signature
  91. Preparation and completion functions are now called with an argument,
  92. which is the project property list. It used to be dynamically scoped
  93. through the ~project-plist~ variable.
  94. ** New features
  95. *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
  96. Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
  97. #+begin_example
  98. org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
  99. org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
  100. #+end_example
  101. Old-style links such as
  102. : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
  103. continue to be supported.
  104. If you have defined your own handler functions for
  105. ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
  106. list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
  107. ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into
  108. property lists.
  109. *** Org linter
  110. ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
  111. *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
  112. When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
  113. entries are added to last in the date tree.
  114. *** New ~vbar~ entity
  115. ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionnally as a =|=,
  116. unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~|~ when using
  117. a HTML derived export back-end.
  118. *** Export
  119. **** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
  120. PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
  121. details.
  122. **** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
  123. This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
  124. a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
  125. **** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
  126. Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
  127. string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
  128. position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
  129. for more details.
  130. **** New Texinfo ~options~ attribute on special blocks
  131. Using ~:options~ as a Texinfo attribute, it is possible to add
  132. information to custom environments. See manual for details.
  133. **** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
  134. If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
  135. will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
  136. enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
  137. ~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
  138. **** Line Numbering in SRC/EXAMPLE blocks support arbitrary start number
  139. The ~-n~ option to ~SRC~ and ~EXAMPLE~ blocks can now take a numeric
  140. argument to specify the staring line number for the source or example
  141. block. The ~+n~ option can now take a numeric argument that will be
  142. added to the last line number from the previous block as the starting
  143. point for the SRC/EXAMPLE block.
  144. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  145. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp -n 20
  146. ;; this will export with line number 20
  147. (message "This is line 21")
  148. ,#+END_SRC
  149. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp +n 10
  150. ;; This will be listed as line 31
  151. (message "This is line 32")
  152. ,#+END_SRC
  153. #+END_SRC
  154. *** Babel
  155. **** Support for SLY in Lisp blocks
  156. See ~org-babel-lisp-eval-fn~ to activate it.
  157. **** Support for Stan language
  158. New ob-stan.el library.
  159. Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
  160. 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
  161. This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
  162. allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
  163. 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
  164. This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
  165. ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
  166. that does not end in ".stan".
  167. For more information and usage examples, visit
  168. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
  169. **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
  170. =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
  171. database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
  172. mandatory):
  173. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  174. :engine oracle
  175. :dbhost <host.com>
  176. :dbport <1521>
  177. :dbuser <username>
  178. :database <database>
  179. :dbpassword <secret>
  180. #+END_EXAMPLE
  181. **** Improved support to Microsoft SQL Server via ~sqlcmd~
  182. =ob-sql= library removes support to the ~msosql~ engine which uses the
  183. deprecated ~osql~ command line tool, and replaces it with ~mssql~
  184. engine which uses the ~sqlcmd~ command line tool. Use with properties
  185. like this:
  186. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  187. :engine mssql
  188. :dbhost <host.com>
  189. :dbuser <username>
  190. :dbpassword <secret>
  191. :database <database>
  192. #+END_EXAMPLE
  193. If you want to use the *trusted connection* feature, omit *both* the
  194. =dbuser= and =dbpassword= properties and add =cmdline -E= to the
  195. properties.
  196. If your Emacs is running in a Cygwin environment, the =ob-sql= library
  197. can pass the converted path to the =sqlcmd= tool.
  198. **** Support for additional plantuml output formats
  199. The support for output formats of [[http://plantuml.com/][plantuml]] has been extended to now
  200. include:
  201. All Diagrams:
  202. - png ::
  203. - svg ::
  204. - eps ::
  205. - pdf ::
  206. - vdx ::
  207. - txt :: ASCII art
  208. - utxt :: ASCII art using unicode characters
  209. Class Diagrams:
  210. - xmi ::
  211. - html ::
  212. State Diagrams:
  213. - scxml ::
  214. The output formats are determined by the file extension specified
  215. using the :file property, e.g.:
  216. #+begin_src plantuml :file diagram.png
  217. @startuml
  218. Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
  219. Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
  220. Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
  221. Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
  222. @enduml
  223. #+end_src
  224. Please note that *pdf* *does not work out of the box* and needss
  225. additional setup in addition to plantuml. See
  226. [[http://plantuml.com/pdf.html]] for details and setup information.
  227. *** Rewrite of radio lists
  228. Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
  229. rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
  230. parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
  231. for details.
  232. *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
  233. Used like org-bbdb-anniversaries, it provides a few days warning
  234. for upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
  235. *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
  236. If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
  237. information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
  238. See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
  239. *** Support for ISO week trees
  240. ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
  241. by ISO week and not by month.
  242. For example:
  243. : * 2015
  244. : ** 2015-W35
  245. : ** 2015-W36
  246. : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
  247. They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
  248. ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
  249. *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
  250. When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
  251. an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
  252. On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
  253. *** Columns view
  254. **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
  255. When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
  256. buffer unconditionally.
  257. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
  258. The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
  259. **** Allow custom summaries
  260. It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
  261. provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
  262. **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
  263. Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
  264. types.
  265. *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
  266. *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
  267. When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
  268. a git repository.
  269. *** Allow conditional case-fold searches in ~org-occur~
  270. When set to ~smart~, the new variable ~org-occur-case-fold-search~
  271. allows to mimic =isearch.el=: if the regexp searched contains any
  272. upper case character (or character class), the search is case
  273. sensitive. Otherwise, it is case insensitive.
  274. *** More robust repeated =ox-latex= footnote handling
  275. Repeated footnotes are now numbered by referring to a label in the
  276. first footnote.
  277. *** The ~org-block~ face is inherited by ~src-blocks~
  278. This works also when =org-src-fontify-natively= is non-nil. It is also
  279. possible to specify per-languages faces. See the manual for details.
  280. ** New functions
  281. *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
  282. It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
  283. *** ~org-show-children~
  284. It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
  285. ** Removed functions
  286. *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
  287. Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
  288. *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
  289. Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
  290. *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
  291. Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
  292. *** ~org-babel-trim~ is deprecated.
  293. Use ~org-trim~ instead.
  294. *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
  295. Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
  296. *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
  297. Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
  298. The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
  299. *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
  300. Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
  301. *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
  302. A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
  303. now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
  304. *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
  305. Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
  306. *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
  307. It was not called by any org code since 2010.
  308. *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
  309. The affected functions are:
  310. - ~org-count~
  311. - ~org-remove-if~
  312. - ~org-remove-if-not~
  313. - ~org-reduce~
  314. - ~org-every~
  315. - ~org-some~
  316. Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
  317. the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
  318. end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
  319. ** Removed options
  320. *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
  321. This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
  322. Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
  323. let those libraries operate.
  324. *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
  325. Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
  326. plain list.
  327. *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  328. fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
  329. ** Miscellaneous
  330. *** Allow multiple receiver locations in radio tables and lists
  331. *** Allow angular links within link descriptions
  332. It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
  333. ~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
  334. ~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
  335. is that spaces are allowed within the path.
  336. *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  337. *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
  338. Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
  339. current projet. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
  340. Org files.
  341. *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
  342. The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
  343. indentation.
  344. *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
  345. Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
  346. However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
  347. the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
  348. placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
  349. very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
  350. Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
  351. template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
  352. expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
  353. another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
  354. *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
  355. Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
  356. to the article's original group.
  357. *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
  358. The calling convention has changed.
  359. *** HTML export table row customization changes
  360. Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
  361. ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
  362. Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
  363. called with 6 parameters.
  364. *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
  365. *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
  366. The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
  367. *** ~org-trim~ can preserve leading indentation.
  368. When setting a new optional argument to a non-nil value, ~org-trim~
  369. preserves leading indentation while removing blank lines at the
  370. beginning of the string. The behavior is identical for white space at
  371. the end of the string.
  372. *** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
  373. HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
  374. than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
  375. Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
  376. : <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  377. where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
  378. For most folks this file does not exist.
  379. Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
  380. : <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  381. All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other =gnu.org= manuals.
  382. *** Repeaters with a ~++~ interval and a time can be shifted to later today
  383. Previously, if a recurring task had a timestamp of
  384. ~<2016-01-01 Fri 20:00 ++1d>~ and was completed on =2016-01-02= at
  385. =08:00=, the task would skip =2016-01-02= and would be rescheduled for
  386. =2016-01-03=. Timestamps with ~++~ cookies and a specific time will
  387. now shift to the first possible future occurrence, even if the
  388. occurrence is later the same day the task is completed. (Timestamps
  389. already in the future are still shifted one time further into the
  390. future.)
  391. * Version 8.3
  392. ** Incompatible changes
  393. *** Properties drawers syntax changes
  394. Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
  395. headline and its planning line, when applicable.
  396. It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
  397. logged before the property drawer.
  398. The following function will repair them:
  399. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  400. (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
  401. "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
  402. Ignore non Org buffers."
  403. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  404. (org-with-wide-buffer
  405. (goto-char (point-min))
  406. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  407. (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
  408. (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
  409. "END[ \t]*$"))))
  410. (org-map-entries
  411. (lambda ()
  412. (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
  413. (save-excursion
  414. (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
  415. (forward-line)
  416. (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
  417. (when (and (< (point) end)
  418. (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
  419. (save-excursion
  420. (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
  421. (eq (org-element-type
  422. (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
  423. 'drawer))))
  424. (insert (delete-and-extract-region
  425. (match-beginning 0)
  426. (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
  427. (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
  428. #+END_SRC
  429. *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
  430. If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
  431. exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
  432. is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
  433. into account when exporting.
  434. If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
  435. for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
  436. *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
  437. It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
  438. the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
  439. 5.14 (2008).
  440. =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
  441. properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
  442. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  443. ,* Headline
  444. :PROPERTIES:
  445. :CATEGORY: some category
  446. :END:
  447. #+END_SRC
  448. *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
  449. ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
  450. and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
  451. controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
  452. see.
  453. *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
  454. ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
  455. version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
  456. Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
  457. ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
  458. *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
  459. Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
  460. buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
  461. *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
  462. The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
  463. ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~ respectively,
  464. rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these functions. The Org
  465. version of these functions skips over inline tasks (and even-level
  466. headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
  467. *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
  468. ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
  469. =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
  470. *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
  471. If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
  472. org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
  473. org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
  474. *** Functions signature changes
  475. The following functions require an additional argument. See their
  476. docstring for more information.
  477. - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
  478. - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
  479. - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
  480. - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
  481. - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
  482. - ~org-link-search~
  483. ** New features
  484. *** Default lexical evaluation of emacs-lisp src blocks
  485. Emacs-lisp src blocks in babel are now evaluated using lexical scoping. There is a new header to control this behavior.
  486. The default results in an eval with lexical scoping.
  487. :lexical yes
  488. This turns lexical scoping off in the eval (the former behavior).
  489. :lexical no
  490. This uses the lexical environment with x=42 in the eval.
  491. :lexical '((x . 42))
  492. *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
  493. If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
  494. without changing the headline.
  495. *** Hierarchies of tags
  496. The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
  497. This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
  498. in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
  499. The following in-buffer definition:
  500. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  501. ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
  502. ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
  503. ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
  504. #+END_SRC
  505. Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
  506. - Group
  507. - SubOne
  508. - SubOne1
  509. - SubOne2
  510. - SubTwo
  511. - SubTwo1
  512. - SubTwo2
  513. Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
  514. on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
  515. There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
  516. *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
  517. Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
  518. don't have to be distinct on a heading.
  519. Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
  520. already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
  521. non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: {
  522. } can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the
  523. given tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
  524. [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
  525. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  526. ,* Test :sub1:sub2:
  527. #+END_SRC
  528. This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
  529. grouptags; { }.
  530. *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
  531. Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
  532. "sub-tags".
  533. The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
  534. Example use:
  535. : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
  536. Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
  537. regular expression matches for P@.+. Good for example if tags for a
  538. certain project is tagged with a common project-identifier,
  539. i.e. P@2014_OrgTags.
  540. *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
  541. Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filter all of the related tags.
  542. Exception if filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
  543. Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
  544. levels anymore.
  545. If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
  546. is also used as a filter.
  547. *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
  548. Now uses the argument arg and optional argument exclude instead of
  549. strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
  550. makes more sense than strip now. The term narrowing is changed to
  551. exclude.
  552. The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
  553. filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
  554. *** Babel: support for sed scripts
  555. Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
  556. *** Babel: support for Processing language
  557. New ob-processing.el library.
  558. This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
  559. of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
  560. external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
  561. Check the documentation for more.
  562. Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
  563. *** New behaviour for `org-toggle-latex-fragment'
  564. The new behaviour is the following:
  565. - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument
  566. when point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the
  567. whole buffer;
  568. - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
  569. subtree;
  570. - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
  571. - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
  572. *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  573. The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
  574. instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
  575. *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  576. Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
  577. possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
  578. more information.
  579. *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
  580. One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
  581. which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
  582. ~org-drawers~ variable.
  583. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
  584. Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
  585. mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
  586. "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
  587. configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
  588. *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
  589. If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
  590. argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
  591. representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
  592. default is =hline=.
  593. *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
  594. For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
  595. in a source block.
  596. *** New option in ASCII export
  597. Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
  598. ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
  599. *** New blocks in ASCII export
  600. ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
  601. =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
  602. *** More back-end specific publishing options
  603. The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
  604. increased. See manual for details.
  605. *** Export inline source blocks
  606. Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
  607. now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
  608. in the output, depending on the parameters.
  609. *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
  610. These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
  611. *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
  612. *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
  613. *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
  614. This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
  615. more features. See docstring for details.
  616. *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
  617. *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
  618. Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
  619. document, befor wrapping it within the template.
  620. *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
  621. : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
  622. : #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  623. : This sentence is false.
  624. : #+END_EXAMPLE
  625. will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
  626. *** Various improvements on radio tables
  627. Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
  628. ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
  629. parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
  630. new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
  631. ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
  632. docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
  633. *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
  634. It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
  635. source blocks exported by the minted package.
  636. *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
  637. Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
  638. would throw an error. A new variable
  639. ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
  640. behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
  641. with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
  642. *** ASCII plot
  643. Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
  644. for details.
  645. *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
  646. This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
  647. on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
  648. *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
  649. When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
  650. *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
  651. This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
  652. now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
  653. special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
  654. *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  655. See docstring for more information.
  656. *** Export unnumbered headlines
  657. Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
  658. exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
  659. property is inherited by children.
  660. *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
  661. It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
  662. through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
  663. keys, to sort a table.
  664. *** Table of contents can be local to a section
  665. The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See
  666. manual for details.
  667. *** Countdown timers can now be paused
  668. ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
  669. countdown timers.
  670. *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
  671. When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
  672. displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
  673. *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
  674. It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
  675. ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
  676. *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
  677. It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
  678. ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
  679. manual for details.
  680. *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
  681. It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
  682. title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
  683. *** New entities family: "\_ "
  684. "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
  685. back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
  686. leading spaces within table cells.
  687. *** New MathJax configuration options
  688. Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
  689. of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
  690. *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
  691. When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
  692. `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
  693. `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
  694. However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
  695. =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
  696. value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
  697. keywords and properties.
  698. *** Viewport support in html export
  699. Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
  700. when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
  701. *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
  702. Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
  703. for details.
  704. *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
  705. Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
  706. allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in
  707. a dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
  708. *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
  709. Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
  710. added to headline text.
  711. *** Support for images in Texinfo export
  712. ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See manual for details.
  713. *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
  714. Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
  715. of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
  716. =#+TOC= keyword.
  717. *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
  718. In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
  719. set using the hh:mm:ss format.
  720. *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
  721. ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for
  722. the number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original
  723. subtree and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
  724. *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
  725. It encompasses all past closed clocks.
  726. *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
  727. See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
  728. ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
  729. *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
  730. *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
  731. ** Removed functions
  732. *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
  733. Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
  734. *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
  735. This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
  736. current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
  737. it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
  738. accessible from the export dispatcher.
  739. *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
  740. ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
  741. *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
  742. This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
  743. references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
  744. *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
  745. The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
  746. optional argument.
  747. *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
  748. These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
  749. anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
  750. ** Removed options
  751. *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
  752. It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
  753. compatibility.
  754. If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
  755. two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
  756. *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
  757. Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
  758. body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
  759. document instead.
  760. *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
  761. Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
  762. everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
  763. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
  764. This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
  765. at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
  766. value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
  767. To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
  768. this variable locally.
  769. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
  770. This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
  771. styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
  772. be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
  773. compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
  774. anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
  775. *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
  776. Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
  777. would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
  778. removed.
  779. *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
  780. Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
  781. *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
  782. This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
  783. *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
  784. This variable has no effect since August 2009.
  785. *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
  786. MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
  787. end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
  788. ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
  789. ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
  790. *** Removed comment-related filters
  791. ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
  792. ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
  793. anymore.
  794. ** Miscellaneous
  795. *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
  796. ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
  797. *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
  798. Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
  799. =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
  800. *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
  801. As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
  802. footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
  803. labels colliding.
  804. *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
  805. This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
  806. =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
  807. *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
  808. =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
  809. *** Select tests to perform with the build system
  810. The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
  811. regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
  812. This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
  813. particular test failure was introduced.
  814. *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
  815. Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
  816. the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as
  817. well as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~
  818. when ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
  819. *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
  820. New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
  821. Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
  822. *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  823. If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
  824. ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~
  825. now.
  826. *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
  827. This helps spotting wrong links.
  828. * Version 8.2
  829. ** Incompatible changes
  830. *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
  831. This may require two changes in user config.
  832. 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
  833. 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
  834. to remove "sh" and include "shell".
  835. *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
  836. Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
  837. 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
  838. need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
  839. Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
  840. =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
  841. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
  842. with this:
  843. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  844. *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
  845. Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
  846. t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
  847. option keywords like :html-include-style.
  848. So you need to replace
  849. : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
  850. by
  851. : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
  852. Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
  853. and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
  854. *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
  855. ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
  856. process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
  857. relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
  858. Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
  859. the other optional arguments accordingly.
  860. *** Export back-ends are now structures
  861. Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
  862. communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
  863. now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
  864. of a symbol.
  865. Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
  866. ** Important bugfixes
  867. *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
  868. *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
  869. *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
  870. You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
  871. this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
  872. separator starting a TOTO match string.
  873. ** New features
  874. *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
  875. See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
  876. of the list.
  877. *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
  878. - Support SVG images
  879. - Support for .pgf files
  880. - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
  881. - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
  882. - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
  883. replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
  884. or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
  885. - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
  886. now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
  887. *** New functions for paragraph motion
  888. The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
  889. that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
  890. in a paragraph-like way.
  891. *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  892. Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
  893. dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
  894. leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
  895. preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
  896. check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
  897. *** Anonymous export back-ends
  898. ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
  899. which can then be passed to export functions like
  900. ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
  901. It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
  902. registering a new back-end.
  903. *** New agenda fortnight view
  904. The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
  905. views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
  906. ** New options
  907. *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
  908. This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
  909. *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
  910. This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
  911. See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
  912. *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
  913. This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
  914. the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
  915. Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
  916. allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
  917. library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
  918. so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
  919. t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
  920. of =ox-rss.el=.
  921. *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
  922. This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
  923. *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
  924. This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
  925. *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
  926. See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
  927. *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
  928. If you set this to the following
  929. : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
  930. then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
  931. *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
  932. This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
  933. =C-o= in tables.
  934. ** New contributed packages
  935. - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
  936. export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
  937. software.
  938. - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
  939. screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
  940. ** Miscellaneous
  941. *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
  942. "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
  943. starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
  944. a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
  945. the same with example blocks.
  946. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
  947. release.
  948. * Version 8.0.1
  949. ** Installation
  950. Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
  951. If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
  952. instructions:
  953. - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
  954. =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
  955. customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
  956. - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
  957. correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
  958. only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
  959. the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
  960. detailed explanations.
  961. - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
  962. you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
  963. function has been called already.
  964. When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
  965. installation.
  966. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
  967. ** Incompatible changes
  968. Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
  969. If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
  970. If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
  971. you will have to update them.
  972. Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
  973. See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
  974. this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
  975. **** New export engine
  976. Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
  977. export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
  978. already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
  979. /all/ export back-ends.
  980. The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
  981. keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
  982. built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
  983. directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
  984. [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
  985. More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
  986. corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
  987. If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
  988. rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
  989. option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
  990. manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
  991. **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
  992. : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
  993. should now be written
  994. : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
  995. Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
  996. respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
  997. each backend. See Org's manual for details.
  998. **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
  999. You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
  1000. Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
  1001. now fully removed.
  1002. Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
  1003. remember templates into capture templates.
  1004. **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
  1005. If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
  1006. will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
  1007. **** Note for third-party developers
  1008. The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
  1009. prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
  1010. files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
  1011. If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
  1012. code.
  1013. **** Packages moved from core to contrib
  1014. Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
  1015. to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
  1016. moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
  1017. The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
  1018. is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
  1019. included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
  1020. user-base.
  1021. - org-colview-xemacs.el
  1022. - org-mac-message.el
  1023. - org-mew.el
  1024. - org-wl.el
  1025. - ox-freedmind.el
  1026. - ox-taskjuggler.el
  1027. Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
  1028. ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
  1029. ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
  1030. Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
  1031. wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
  1032. ** New packages in core
  1033. *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
  1034. =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
  1035. *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1036. =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
  1037. *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
  1038. =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
  1039. vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
  1040. *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
  1041. =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
  1042. ** New packages in contrib
  1043. *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
  1044. [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
  1045. =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
  1046. code.
  1047. *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1048. [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
  1049. software, written entirely in the C programming language.
  1050. ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
  1051. entries.
  1052. *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1053. ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
  1054. *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
  1055. Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
  1056. Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
  1057. for starting headlines.
  1058. *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
  1059. ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
  1060. locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
  1061. the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
  1062. [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
  1063. *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
  1064. ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
  1065. *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
  1066. [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
  1067. presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  1068. using =deck.js=.
  1069. [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
  1070. presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  1071. using =s5=.
  1072. *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
  1073. The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
  1074. plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
  1075. output.
  1076. Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
  1077. conversion from Org files to groff.
  1078. *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
  1079. This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
  1080. *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
  1081. This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
  1082. with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
  1083. entirely with Org.
  1084. ** New features
  1085. *** Export
  1086. **** New export generic options
  1087. If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
  1088. it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
  1089. Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
  1090. - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
  1091. =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
  1092. You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
  1093. file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
  1094. - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
  1095. =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
  1096. now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
  1097. [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
  1098. new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
  1099. set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
  1100. standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
  1101. contains time-stamps.
  1102. To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
  1103. Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
  1104. the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
  1105. **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
  1106. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
  1107. **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
  1108. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
  1109. **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
  1110. **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
  1111. **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
  1112. *** Structure editing
  1113. **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
  1114. **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
  1115. [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
  1116. prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
  1117. **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
  1118. This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
  1119. would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
  1120. create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
  1121. an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
  1122. region.
  1123. **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
  1124. In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
  1125. _words__= will preserve markup.
  1126. **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
  1127. This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
  1128. is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
  1129. can slow down the flow of editing too much.
  1130. **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
  1131. These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
  1132. speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
  1133. **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
  1134. These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
  1135. now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
  1136. =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
  1137. forward and backward.
  1138. **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
  1139. **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
  1140. Now Org will sort this list
  1141. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  1142. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  1143. like this:
  1144. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  1145. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  1146. by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
  1147. Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
  1148. **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
  1149. For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
  1150. =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
  1151. states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
  1152. In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
  1153. local variable.
  1154. **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
  1155. The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
  1156. When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
  1157. time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
  1158. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
  1159. This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
  1160. restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
  1161. The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
  1162. restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
  1163. option to =nil=.
  1164. **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
  1165. When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
  1166. removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
  1167. information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
  1168. If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
  1169. TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
  1170. **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
  1171. This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
  1172. The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
  1173. fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
  1174. : #+attr_html: :width 300px
  1175. *** Scheduled/deadline
  1176. **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
  1177. If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
  1178. now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
  1179. task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
  1180. from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
  1181. Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
  1182. you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
  1183. display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
  1184. to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
  1185. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
  1186. occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
  1187. occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
  1188. and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
  1189. control this globally or per agenda.
  1190. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
  1191. See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
  1192. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
  1193. =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
  1194. *** Calendar, diary and appts
  1195. **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
  1196. By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
  1197. normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
  1198. the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
  1199. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1200. ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
  1201. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
  1202. ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
  1203. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
  1204. (kbd "@")
  1205. (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
  1206. #+END_SRC
  1207. **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
  1208. This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
  1209. appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
  1210. call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
  1211. **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
  1212. [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
  1213. in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
  1214. only show their description, not the full links.
  1215. *** Agenda
  1216. **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
  1217. When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
  1218. list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
  1219. want to build a list of appointments.
  1220. You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
  1221. each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
  1222. Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
  1223. : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
  1224. This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
  1225. time value (i.e. appointments).
  1226. **** New agenda sorting strategies
  1227. [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
  1228. | Strategy | Explanations |
  1229. |----------------+------------------------------------------|
  1230. | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
  1231. | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
  1232. | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
  1233. | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
  1234. | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
  1235. | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
  1236. | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
  1237. | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
  1238. | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
  1239. | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
  1240. **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
  1241. You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
  1242. different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
  1243. while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
  1244. These new options are available:
  1245. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
  1246. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
  1247. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
  1248. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
  1249. For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
  1250. view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
  1251. without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
  1252. When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
  1253. to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
  1254. no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
  1255. to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
  1256. show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
  1257. non-tagged headlines.
  1258. **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
  1259. You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
  1260. regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
  1261. example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
  1262. that take only =N= minutes.
  1263. **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
  1264. You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
  1265. == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
  1266. [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
  1267. **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
  1268. Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
  1269. filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
  1270. **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
  1271. You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
  1272. headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
  1273. This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
  1274. list of notes.
  1275. **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
  1276. It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
  1277. your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
  1278. =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
  1279. This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
  1280. change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
  1281. **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
  1282. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
  1283. to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
  1284. This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
  1285. **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
  1286. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
  1287. display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
  1288. outline tree.
  1289. **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
  1290. =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
  1291. overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
  1292. asks for a confirmation.
  1293. **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
  1294. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
  1295. the mark of the entry at point.
  1296. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
  1297. toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
  1298. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
  1299. This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
  1300. E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
  1301. level 1.
  1302. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
  1303. This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
  1304. options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
  1305. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
  1306. This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
  1307. entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
  1308. **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
  1309. The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
  1310. it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
  1311. [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
  1312. string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
  1313. **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  1314. When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
  1315. =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
  1316. repeated beyond the current deadline.
  1317. **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
  1318. This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
  1319. which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
  1320. prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
  1321. deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
  1322. Read the full docstring for details.
  1323. **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
  1324. For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
  1325. : * Task
  1326. : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
  1327. *** Capture
  1328. **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
  1329. With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
  1330. point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
  1331. capture template.
  1332. **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
  1333. If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
  1334. expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
  1335. **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
  1336. [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  1337. allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
  1338. be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
  1339. check against the name of the buffer.
  1340. *** Tag groups
  1341. Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
  1342. (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
  1343. headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
  1344. of those tags.)
  1345. You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
  1346. agenda views, and for filtering.
  1347. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
  1348. *** Links
  1349. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
  1350. Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
  1351. other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
  1352. through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
  1353. Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
  1354. as if the protocol was not known.
  1355. You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
  1356. **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
  1357. Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
  1358. Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
  1359. RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
  1360. active.
  1361. **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
  1362. =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
  1363. description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
  1364. with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
  1365. **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
  1366. When storing a link to a headline like
  1367. : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
  1368. [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
  1369. It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
  1370. there is no description.
  1371. *** Table
  1372. **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
  1373. If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
  1374. apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
  1375. those other formulas.
  1376. **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
  1377. If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
  1378. [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
  1379. mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
  1380. the end.
  1381. **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
  1382. If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
  1383. english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
  1384. internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
  1385. doing computation.
  1386. **** New lookup functions
  1387. There are now three lookup functions:
  1388. - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
  1389. - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
  1390. - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
  1391. See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
  1392. *** Startup keywords
  1393. These new startup keywords are now available:
  1394. | Startup keyword | Option |
  1395. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1396. | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
  1397. | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
  1398. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1399. | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
  1400. | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
  1401. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1402. | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
  1403. | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
  1404. *** Clocking
  1405. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
  1406. E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
  1407. clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
  1408. 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
  1409. your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
  1410. **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
  1411. When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
  1412. day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
  1413. for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
  1414. the clocktable.
  1415. See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
  1416. [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
  1417. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
  1418. This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
  1419. milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
  1420. **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
  1421. When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
  1422. option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
  1423. [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
  1424. **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
  1425. **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
  1426. **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
  1427. **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
  1428. **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
  1429. **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
  1430. **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
  1431. *** Babel
  1432. **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
  1433. This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
  1434. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
  1435. This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
  1436. same target than the block at point.
  1437. **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
  1438. When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
  1439. in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
  1440. file under the same directory than the base Org file.
  1441. When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
  1442. the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
  1443. time.
  1444. **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
  1445. This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
  1446. code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
  1447. manual for a usage example.
  1448. **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
  1449. If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
  1450. the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
  1451. collecting blocks for tangling.
  1452. **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
  1453. **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
  1454. Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
  1455. cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
  1456. **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
  1457. **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
  1458. When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
  1459. instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
  1460. *** Faces
  1461. - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
  1462. - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
  1463. - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
  1464. - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags
  1465. ** Miscellaneous
  1466. - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
  1467. - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
  1468. - [[doc:org-export-html-table-tag][org-export-html-table-tag]] is replaced by [[doc:org-html-table-default-attributes][org-html-table-default-attributes]]
  1469. - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
  1470. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  1471. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  1472. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  1473. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
  1474. - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
  1475. - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
  1476. - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
  1477. - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
  1478. - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
  1479. - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
  1480. - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
  1481. - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
  1482. - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
  1483. - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports MacOSX version up to 10.8
  1484. - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
  1485. ** Outside Org
  1486. *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
  1487. David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
  1488. You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
  1489. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  1490. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  1491. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  1492. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  1493. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  1494. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  1495. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  1496. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  1497. found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  1498. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
  1499. - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
  1500. - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
  1501. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  1502. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  1503. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  1504. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  1505. * Version 7.9.3
  1506. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  1507. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  1508. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  1509. agenda views.)
  1510. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  1511. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  1512. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  1513. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  1514. agenda type to this variable.
  1515. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  1516. generation.
  1517. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  1518. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  1519. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  1520. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  1521. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  1522. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  1523. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  1524. invisible) blocked tasks.
  1525. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  1526. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  1527. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  1528. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  1529. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  1530. ** No GPL manual anymore
  1531. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  1532. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  1533. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  1534. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  1535. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  1536. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  1537. in most environments.
  1538. * Version 7.9.2
  1539. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  1540. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  1541. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1542. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  1543. #+END_SRC
  1544. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  1545. available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  1546. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  1547. directory.)
  1548. See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
  1549. ** Overview of the new keybindings
  1550. | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
  1551. |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|
  1552. | =C-c C-x C-z= | | [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]] |
  1553. | =C-c C-x C-q= | | [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]] |
  1554. | =C-c C-x C-x= | | [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] |
  1555. | =M-h= | | [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] |
  1556. | =*= | | [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] |
  1557. | =C-c C-M-l= | | [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]] |
  1558. | =C-c C-x C-M-v= | | [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]] |
  1559. | =C-c C-x E= | =E= | [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]] |
  1560. | | =#= | [[doc::org-toggle-comment][org-toggle-comment]] |
  1561. | | =:= | [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]] |
  1562. | | =W= | Set =APPT_WARNTIME= |
  1563. | =k= | | [[doc::org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] |
  1564. | C-c , | , | [[doc::org-priority][org-priority]] |
  1565. ** New package and Babel language
  1566. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  1567. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  1568. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  1569. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  1570. ** Incompatible changes
  1571. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  1572. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  1573. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  1574. instead.
  1575. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  1576. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  1577. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  1578. ** New features and user-visible changes
  1579. *** Org Element
  1580. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  1581. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  1582. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  1583. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  1584. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  1585. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  1586. See the docstrings for more details.
  1587. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  1588. on =org-element.el=.
  1589. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  1590. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  1591. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  1592. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  1593. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  1594. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  1595. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  1596. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  1597. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  1598. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  1599. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  1600. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  1601. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  1602. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  1603. elements.
  1604. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  1605. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  1606. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  1607. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  1608. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  1609. item. Etc.
  1610. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  1611. the whole list.
  1612. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  1613. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  1614. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  1615. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  1616. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  1617. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  1618. the same level.
  1619. *** Org Agenda
  1620. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  1621. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  1622. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  1623. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  1624. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  1625. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  1626. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  1627. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  1628. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  1629. generating new ones.
  1630. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  1631. agenda buffer.
  1632. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  1633. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1634. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  1635. to this value
  1636. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1637. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  1638. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  1639. #+END_SRC
  1640. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  1641. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  1642. details on how to use this.
  1643. **** Changes in bulk actions
  1644. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  1645. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  1646. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  1647. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  1648. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  1649. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  1650. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  1651. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  1652. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  1653. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  1654. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  1655. =t=.
  1656. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  1657. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  1658. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  1659. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  1660. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  1661. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  1662. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  1663. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  1664. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  1665. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  1666. =f= or =w=).
  1667. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  1668. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  1669. of deadline.
  1670. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  1671. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  1672. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  1673. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  1674. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  1675. several times.
  1676. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  1677. See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  1678. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  1679. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  1680. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  1681. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  1682. filters and category filters.
  1683. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  1684. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  1685. configuration.
  1686. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  1687. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  1688. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  1689. point.
  1690. *** Org Links
  1691. **** Inserting links
  1692. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  1693. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  1694. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  1695. want to insert.
  1696. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  1697. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  1698. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  1699. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  1700. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  1701. highlighted.
  1702. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  1703. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  1704. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  1705. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  1706. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  1707. **** New link type =help=
  1708. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  1709. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  1710. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  1711. you go back to the same buffer.
  1712. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  1713. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  1714. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  1715. =org-stored-links=.
  1716. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  1717. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  1718. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  1719. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  1720. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  1721. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  1722. *** Org Editing
  1723. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  1724. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  1725. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  1726. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  1727. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  1728. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  1729. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  1730. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  1731. all headlines in the region.
  1732. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  1733. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  1734. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  1735. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  1736. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  1737. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  1738. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  1739. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  1740. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  1741. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  1742. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  1743. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  1744. undo RET=.
  1745. *** Org Clock
  1746. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  1747. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  1748. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  1749. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  1750. clocked entry, if any.
  1751. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  1752. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  1753. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  1754. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  1755. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  1756. out.
  1757. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  1758. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  1759. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  1760. arguments).
  1761. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  1762. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  1763. in.
  1764. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  1765. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  1766. cells in clockreport.
  1767. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  1768. time cells in clockreport.
  1769. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  1770. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  1771. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1772. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  1773. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1774. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  1775. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  1776. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  1777. space in the frame title.
  1778. *** Org Appearance
  1779. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  1780. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  1781. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  1782. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  1783. don't want to see temporarily.
  1784. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  1785. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  1786. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  1787. There are these new entities:
  1788. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  1789. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  1790. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  1791. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  1792. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  1793. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  1794. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  1795. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  1796. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  1797. The face is back to a normal height.
  1798. *** Org Columns
  1799. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  1800. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  1801. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  1802. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  1803. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  1804. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  1805. block will use its value as the column format.
  1806. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  1807. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  1808. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  1809. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  1810. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  1811. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  1812. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  1813. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  1814. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  1815. You can now use
  1816. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  1817. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  1818. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  1819. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  1820. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  1821. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  1822. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  1823. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  1824. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  1825. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  1826. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  1827. *** Org Capture
  1828. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  1829. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  1830. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  1831. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  1832. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  1833. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  1834. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1835. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  1836. set to this value
  1837. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1838. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  1839. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  1840. #+END_SRC
  1841. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  1842. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  1843. more details on how to use this.
  1844. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  1845. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  1846. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  1847. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  1848. =nil=.
  1849. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  1850. See the manual for more explanations.
  1851. **** More control over empty lines
  1852. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  1853. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  1854. explanations.
  1855. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  1856. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  1857. *** Org Export
  1858. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  1859. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  1860. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  1861. available) to print beautiful tables.
  1862. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  1863. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  1864. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  1865. the table.
  1866. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  1867. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  1868. in the #+DATE option.
  1869. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  1870. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  1871. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  1872. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  1873. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  1874. More languages are always welcome.
  1875. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  1876. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  1877. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  1878. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  1879. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  1880. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  1881. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  1882. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  1883. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  1884. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  1885. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  1886. *** Org Babel
  1887. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  1888. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  1889. supported.
  1890. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  1891. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  1892. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  1893. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  1894. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  1895. It used to exports the results of the code.
  1896. *** Miscellaneous
  1897. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  1898. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  1899. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  1900. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  1901. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  1902. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  1903. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  1904. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  1905. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  1906. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  1907. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  1908. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  1909. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  1910. alarm.
  1911. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  1912. This will increment the effort value.
  1913. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  1914. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  1915. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  1916. attach symbolic links.
  1917. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  1918. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  1919. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  1920. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  1921. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  1922. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  1923. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  1924. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  1925. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  1926. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  1927. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  1928. all top level list items.
  1929. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  1930. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  1931. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  1932. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  1933. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  1934. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  1935. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  1936. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  1937. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  1938. first headline in the region.
  1939. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  1940. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  1941. agenda.
  1942. ** Important bug fixes
  1943. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  1944. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  1945. perform completion with meaningful values.
  1946. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  1947. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  1948. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  1949. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  1950. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  1951. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  1952. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  1953. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  1954. license.
  1955. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  1956. the code and the license to your needs.
  1957. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  1958. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  1959. * Version 7.8.11
  1960. ** Incompatible changes
  1961. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  1962. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  1963. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  1964. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  1965. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  1966. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  1967. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  1968. last-minute save.
  1969. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  1970. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  1971. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  1972. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  1973. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  1974. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  1975. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  1976. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  1977. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  1978. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  1979. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  1980. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  1981. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  1982. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  1983. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  1984. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  1985. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  1986. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  1987. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  1988. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  1989. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  1990. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  1991. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  1992. #+end_src
  1993. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  1994. setup./
  1995. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  1996. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  1997. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  1998. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  1999. The two new variables are:
  2000. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  2001. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  2002. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  2003. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  2004. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  2005. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  2006. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  2007. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  2008. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  2009. classes.
  2010. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  2011. document are:
  2012. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  2013. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  2014. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  2015. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  2016. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  2017. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  2018. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  2019. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  2020. #+begin_example
  2021. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  2022. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  2023. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  2024. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  2025. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  2026. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  2027. #+end_example
  2028. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  2029. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  2030. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  2031. applies to the following packages:
  2032. - inputenc
  2033. - fontenc
  2034. - fixltx2e
  2035. - graphicx
  2036. - longtable
  2037. - float
  2038. - wrapfig
  2039. - soul
  2040. - t1enc
  2041. - textcomp
  2042. - marvosym
  2043. - wasysym
  2044. - latexsym
  2045. - amssymb
  2046. - hyperref
  2047. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  2048. you are using, you can remove it from
  2049. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  2050. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  2051. properly.
  2052. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  2053. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  2054. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  2055. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  2056. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  2057. the header.
  2058. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  2059. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  2060. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  2061. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  2062. code using it.
  2063. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  2064. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  2065. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  2066. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  2067. ** Important new features
  2068. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  2069. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  2070. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  2071. for more information on how to customize it.
  2072. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  2073. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  2074. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  2075. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  2076. section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  2077. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  2078. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  2079. [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  2080. To switch over to the new system:
  2081. 1. Run
  2082. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  2083. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  2084. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  2085. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  2086. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  2087. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  2088. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  2089. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  2090. customization.
  2091. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  2092. with org-remember:
  2093. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  2094. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  2095. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  2096. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  2097. with using both system in parallel.
  2098. ** New libraries
  2099. *** New Org libraries
  2100. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  2101. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  2102. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  2103. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  2104. To use, put the following in your init file:
  2105. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  2106. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  2107. #+END_EXAMPLE
  2108. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  2109. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  2110. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  2111. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  2112. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  2113. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  2114. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  2115. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  2116. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  2117. anything.
  2118. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  2119. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  2120. He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  2121. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  2122. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  2123. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  2124. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  2125. /org-ctags.el/.
  2126. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  2127. call function to do something special with text links.
  2128. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  2129. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  2130. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  2131. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  2132. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  2133. Org-mode manual:
  2134. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  2135. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  2136. *** New Babel libraries
  2137. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  2138. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  2139. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  2140. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  2141. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  2142. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  2143. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  2144. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  2145. *** Hyperlinks
  2146. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  2147. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  2148. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  2149. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  2150. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  2151. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  2152. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  2153. The key new functions are
  2154. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  2155. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  2156. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  2157. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  2158. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  2159. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  2160. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  2161. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  2162. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  2163. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  2164. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  2165. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  2166. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  2167. **** Modified link escaping
  2168. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  2169. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  2170. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  2171. : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
  2172. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  2173. : link).
  2174. :
  2175. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  2176. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  2177. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  2178. : percent escaped links are solved.
  2179. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  2180. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  2181. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  2182. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  2183. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  2184. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  2185. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  2186. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  2187. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  2188. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  2189. string to be executed.
  2190. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  2191. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  2192. to org-file-apps:
  2193. #+begin_example
  2194. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  2195. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  2196. #+end_example
  2197. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  2198. *** Dates and time
  2199. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  2200. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  2201. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  2202. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  2203. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  2204. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  2205. will work on the current entry.
  2206. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  2207. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  2208. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  2209. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  2210. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  2211. #+begin_example
  2212. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  2213. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  2214. #+end_example
  2215. *** Agenda
  2216. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  2217. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  2218. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  2219. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  2220. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  2221. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  2222. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  2223. entries using a function.
  2224. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  2225. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  2226. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  2227. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  2228. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  2229. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  2230. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  2231. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  2232. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  2233. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  2234. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  2235. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  2236. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  2237. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  2238. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  2239. *** Exporting
  2240. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  2241. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  2242. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  2243. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  2244. docstring of these variable for details about available
  2245. %-sequences.
  2246. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  2247. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  2248. formatting string will insert a string.
  2249. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  2250. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  2251. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  2252. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  2253. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  2254. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  2255. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  2256. C-e u=, respectively.
  2257. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  2258. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  2259. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  2260. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  2261. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  2262. your preference.
  2263. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  2264. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  2265. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  2266. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  2267. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  2268. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  2269. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  2270. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  2271. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  2272. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  2273. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  2274. section]] in the manual for more details.
  2275. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  2276. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  2277. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  2278. individual could.
  2279. *** Refiling
  2280. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  2281. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  2282. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  2283. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  2284. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  2285. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  2286. **** New logging support for refiling
  2287. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  2288. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  2289. =org-log-refile=.
  2290. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  2291. *** Completion
  2292. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  2293. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  2294. *** Tables
  2295. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  2296. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  2297. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  2298. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  2299. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  2300. the displayed in the buffer.
  2301. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  2302. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  2303. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  2304. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  2305. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  2306. |--------+--------+---------|
  2307. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  2308. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  2309. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  2310. optional.
  2311. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  2312. feedback on this.
  2313. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  2314. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  2315. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  2316. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  2317. : things like
  2318. :
  2319. : @3=
  2320. : @2$2..@5$7=
  2321. : @I$2..@II$4=
  2322. :
  2323. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  2324. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  2325. : table.
  2326. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  2327. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  2328. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  2329. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  2330. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  2331. *** Lists
  2332. **** Improved handling of lists
  2333. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  2334. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  2335. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  2336. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  2337. indented than it.
  2338. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  2339. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  2340. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  2341. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  2342. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  2343. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  2344. `org-list-export-context'.
  2345. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  2346. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  2347. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  2348. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  2349. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  2350. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  2351. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  2352. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  2353. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  2354. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  2355. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  2356. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  2357. *** Inline display of linked images
  2358. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  2359. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  2360. that have no description part will be inlined.
  2361. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  2362. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  2363. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  2364. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  2365. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  2366. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  2367. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  2368. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  2369. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  2370. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  2371. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  2372. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  2373. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  2374. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  2375. tangling
  2376. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  2377. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  2378. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  2379. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  2380. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  2381. properties or in tables.
  2382. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  2383. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  2384. names, and rownames across all languages.
  2385. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  2386. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  2387. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  2388. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  2389. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  2390. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  2391. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  2392. request by Scott Otterson.
  2393. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  2394. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  2395. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  2396. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  2397. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  2398. superscripts, see the variable
  2399. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  2400. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  2401. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  2402. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  2403. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  2404. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  2405. following new faces:
  2406. =org-document-title=
  2407. =org-document-info=
  2408. =org-document-info-keyword=
  2409. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  2410. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  2411. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  2412. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  2413. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  2414. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  2415. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  2416. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  2417. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  2418. property is affected by this setting.
  2419. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  2420. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  2421. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  2422. Requested by Michael Brand.
  2423. **** Better level cycling function
  2424. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  2425. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  2426. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  2427. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  2428. **** Adaptive filling
  2429. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  2430. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  2431. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  2432. comments to be filled correctly.
  2433. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  2434. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  2435. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  2436. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  2437. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  2438. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  2439. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  2440. *** Clocking
  2441. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  2442. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  2443. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  2444. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  2445. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  2446. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  2447. **** Localized clock tables
  2448. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  2449. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  2450. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  2451. available translated strings.
  2452. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  2453. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  2454. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  2455. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  2456. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  2457. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  2458. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  2459. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  2460. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  2461. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  2462. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  2463. =nil=.
  2464. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  2465. *** Misc
  2466. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  2467. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  2468. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  2469. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  2470. **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  2471. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  2472. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  2473. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  2474. property) back.
  2475. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  2476. change.
  2477. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  2478. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  2479. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  2480. #+begin_example
  2481. org-table-get
  2482. org-table-put
  2483. org-table-current-line
  2484. org-table-goto-line
  2485. #+end_example
  2486. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  2487. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  2488. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  2489. node.
  2490. This was requested by Tom.
  2491. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  2492. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  2493. example by viewing from the agenda.
  2494. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
