  7. * Version 9.1
  8. ** Incompatible changes
  9. *** Change signature for some properties in ~org-list-to-generic~
  10. ~:istart~, ~:icount~, ~:iend~ and ~:isep~ now expect the type of the
  11. list as their first argument.
  12. *** ~org-capture-templates~ no longer accepts S-expressions as file names
  13. Since functions are allowed there, a straightforward way to migrate
  14. is to turn, e.g.,
  15. : (file (sexp))
  16. into
  17. : (file (lambda () (sexp)))
  18. ** New features
  19. *** Agenda
  20. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~
  21. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~
  22. *** Babel
  23. **** Clojure: new setting ~org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout~
  24. Creation of a new setting to specify the Cider timeout. By setting
  25. the =org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout= setting option. The value
  26. is in seconds and if set to =nil= then no timeout will occur.
  27. **** Clojure: new header ~:show-process~
  28. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  29. developers to output the process of an ongoing process into a new
  30. window/buffer.
  31. You can tell Org Babel to output the process of a running code block.
  32. To show that output you only have to specify the =:show-process=
  33. option in the code block's header like this:
  34. #+begin_example
  35. ,#+BEGIN_SRC clojure :results output :show-process t
  36. (dotimes [n 10]
  37. (println n ".")
  38. (Thread/sleep 500))
  39. ,#+END_SRC
  40. #+end_example
  41. If =:show-process= is specified that way, then when you will run the
  42. code using =C-c C-c= a new window will open in Emacs. Everything that
  43. is output by the REPL will immediately be added to that new window.
  44. When the processing of the code is finished, then the window and its
  45. buffer will be closed and the results will be reported in the
  46. =#+RESULTS= section.
  47. Note that the =:results= parameter's behavior is *not* changed. If
  48. =silent= is specified, then no result will be displayed. If =output=
  49. is specified then all the output from the window will appears in the
  50. results section. If =value= is specified, then only the last returned
  51. value of the code will be displayed in the results section.
  52. **** SQL: new engine added ~sqsh~
  53. A new engine was added to support ~sqsh~ command line utility for use
  54. against Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase SQL server.
  55. More information on ~sqsh~ can be found here: [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/sqsh/][sourceforge/sqsh]]
  56. To use ~sqsh~ in an *sql* =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  57. #+begin_example
  58. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine sqsh :dbhost my_host :dbuser master :dbpassword pass :database support
  59. Select * From Users
  60. Where clue > 0
  61. ,#+END_SRC
  62. #+end_example
  63. **** PlantUML: add support for header arguments
  64. [[http://plantuml.com/][Plantuml]] source blocks now support the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/prologue.html#prologue][~:prologue~]], [[http://orgmode.org/manual/epilogue.html#epilogue][~:epilogue~]] and
  65. [[http://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] header arguments.
  66. *** Export
  67. **** Implement ~org-export-insert-image-links~
  68. This new function is meant to be used in back-ends supporting images
  69. as descriptions of links, a.k.a. image links. See its docstring for
  70. details.
  71. **** Horizontal rules are no longer ignored in LaTeX table math mode
  72. *** ~org-list-to-generic~ includes a new property: ~:ifmt~
  73. ~:ifmt~ is a function to be called on the body of each item. See
  74. ~org-list-to-generic~ documentation for details.
  75. *** New variable : ~org-bibtex-headline-format-function~
  76. This allow to use a different title than entry title.
  77. ** Removed functions
  78. *** Org Timeline
  79. This feature has been removed. Use a custom agenda view, possibly
  80. narrowed to current buffer to achieve a similar functionality.
  81. ** Removed options
  82. *** ~org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all~ is removed.
  83. For an equivalent to a ~nil~ value, set
  84. ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~ to nil and
  85. ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~ to ~t~.
  86. ** New functions
  87. *** ~org-list-to-org~
  88. It is the reciprocal of ~org-list-to-lisp~, which see.
  89. * Version 9.0
  90. ** Incompatible changes
  91. *** Emacs 23 support has been dropped
  92. From now on, Org expects at least Emacs 24.3, although Emacs 24.4 or
  93. above is suggested.
  94. *** XEmacs support has been dropped
  95. Incomplete compatibility layer with XEmacs has been removed. If you
  96. want to take over maintainance of this compatibility, please contact
  97. our mailing list.
  98. *** New syntax for export blocks
  99. Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
  100. disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
  101. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  102. ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
  103. ...
  104. ,#+END_EXPORT
  105. #+END_SRC
  106. instead of
  107. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  108. ,#+BEGIN_backend
  109. ...
  110. ,#+END_backend
  111. #+END_SRC
  112. As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
  113. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  114. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
  115. #+END_SRC
  116. becomes
  117. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  118. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
  119. #+END_SRC
  120. The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
  121. using previous syntax:
  122. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  123. (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
  124. "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
  125. (interactive)
  126. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  127. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  128. (back-end-re (regexp-opt
  129. '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
  130. "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
  131. t)))
  132. (org-with-wide-buffer
  133. (goto-char (point-min))
  134. (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
  135. (save-excursion
  136. (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
  137. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  138. (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
  139. (save-excursion
  140. (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
  141. (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
  142. (forward-char)
  143. (insert "EXPORT")
  144. (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
  145. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
  146. (let ((include-re
  147. (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
  148. (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
  149. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  150. (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
  151. (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
  152. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
  153. #+END_SRC
  154. Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~ and
  155. ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to be
  156. removed.
  157. *** Footnotes
  158. **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
  159. Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
  160. it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
  161. constructs are now unsupported.
  162. If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them into
  163. =[fn:N]=.
  164. **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
  165. Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
  166. something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
  167. consider using the =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
  168. In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
  169. exists.
  170. *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
  171. The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
  172. S-expressions. Replacing a S-expresion with an appropriate function
  173. is straightforward. For example
  174. : ("pdf" . (foo))
  175. becomes
  176. : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
  177. *** The ~{{{modification-time}}}~ macro can get time via =vc=
  178. The modification time will be determined via =vc.el= if the second
  179. argument is non-nil. See the manual for details.
  180. *** Preparation and completion functions in publishing projects change signature
  181. Preparation and completion functions are now called with an argument,
  182. which is the project property list. It used to be dynamically scoped
  183. through the ~project-plist~ variable.
  184. *** Old Babel header properties are no longer supported
  185. Using header arguments as property names is no longer possible. As
  186. such, the following
  187. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  188. ,* Headline
  189. :PROPERTIES:
  190. :exports: code
  191. :var: a=1 b=2
  192. :var+: c=3
  193. :END:
  194. #+END_EXAMPLE
  195. should be written instead
  196. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  197. ,* Headline
  198. :PROPERTIES:
  199. :header-args: :exports code
  200. :header-args: :var a=1 b=2
  201. :header-args+: :var c=3
  202. :END:
  203. #+END_EXAMPLE
  204. Please note that, however, old properties were defined at the source
  205. block definition. Current ones are defined where the block is called.
  206. ** New features
  207. *** ~org-eww~ has been moved into core
  208. *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
  209. Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
  210. #+begin_example
  211. org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
  212. org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
  213. #+end_example
  214. Old-style links such as
  215. : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
  216. continue to be supported.
  217. If you have defined your own handler functions for
  218. ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
  219. list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
  220. ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into property
  221. lists.
  222. *** New Org linter library
  223. ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
  224. *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
  225. When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
  226. entries are added to last in the date tree.
  227. *** New ~vbar~ entity
  228. ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionnally as a =|=,
  229. unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~|~ when using
  230. a HTML derived export back-end.
  231. *** Export
  232. **** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
  233. PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
  234. details.
  235. **** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
  236. This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
  237. a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
  238. **** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
  239. Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
  240. string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
  241. position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
  242. for more details.
  243. **** New Texinfo ~options~ attribute on special blocks
  244. Using ~:options~ as a Texinfo attribute, it is possible to add
  245. information to custom environments. See manual for details.
  246. **** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
  247. If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
  248. will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
  249. enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
  250. ~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
  251. **** Listings with captions are now numbered in HTML export
  252. The class associated to the numbering is "listing-number". If you
  253. don't want these blocks to be numbered, as it was the case until now,
  254. You may want to add ~.listing-number { display: none; }~ to the CSS
  255. used.
  256. **** Line Numbering in SRC/EXAMPLE blocks support arbitrary start number
  257. The ~-n~ option to ~SRC~ and ~EXAMPLE~ blocks can now take a numeric
  258. argument to specify the staring line number for the source or example
  259. block. The ~+n~ option can now take a numeric argument that will be
  260. added to the last line number from the previous block as the starting
  261. point for the SRC/EXAMPLE block.
  262. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  263. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp -n 20
  264. ;; this will export with line number 20
  265. (message "This is line 21")
  266. ,#+END_SRC
  267. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp +n 10
  268. ;; This will be listed as line 31
  269. (message "This is line 32")
  270. ,#+END_SRC
  271. #+END_SRC
  272. **** Allow toggling center for images in LaTeX export
  273. With the global variable ~org-latex-images-centered~ or the local
  274. attribute ~:center~ it is now possible to center an image in LaTeX
  275. export.
  276. **** Default CSS class ~org-svg~ for SVG images in HTML export
  277. SVG images exported in HTML are now by default assigned a CSS class
  278. ~org-svg~ if no CSS class is specified with the ~:class~ attribute. By
  279. default, the CSS styling of class ~org-svg~ specifies an image width of
  280. 90\thinsp{}% of the container the image.
  281. **** Markdown footnote export customization
  282. Variables ~org-md-footnotes-section~ and ~org-md-footnote-format~
  283. introduced for =ox-md.el=. Both new variables define template strings
  284. which can be used to customize the format of the exported footnotes
  285. section and individual footnotes, respectively.
  286. *** Babel
  287. **** Blocks with coderefs labels can now be evaluated
  288. The labels are removed prior to evaluating the block.
  289. **** Support for Lua language
  290. **** Support for SLY in Lisp blocks
  291. See ~org-babel-lisp-eval-fn~ to activate it.
  292. **** Support for Stan language
  293. New ob-stan.el library.
  294. Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
  295. 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
  296. This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
  297. allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
  298. 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
  299. This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
  300. ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
  301. that does not end in ".stan".
  302. For more information and usage examples, visit
  303. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
  304. **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
  305. =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
  306. database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
  307. mandatory):
  308. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  309. :engine oracle
  310. :dbhost <host.com>
  311. :dbport <1521>
  312. :dbuser <username>
  313. :database <database>
  314. :dbpassword <secret>
  315. #+END_EXAMPLE
  316. **** Improved support to Microsoft SQL Server via ~sqlcmd~
  317. =ob-sql= library removes support to the ~msosql~ engine which uses the
  318. deprecated ~osql~ command line tool, and replaces it with ~mssql~
  319. engine which uses the ~sqlcmd~ command line tool. Use with properties
  320. like this:
  321. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  322. :engine mssql
  323. :dbhost <host.com>
  324. :dbuser <username>
  325. :dbpassword <secret>
  326. :database <database>
  327. #+END_EXAMPLE
  328. If you want to use the *trusted connection* feature, omit *both* the
  329. =dbuser= and =dbpassword= properties and add =cmdline -E= to the properties.
  330. If your Emacs is running in a Cygwin environment, the =ob-sql= library
  331. can pass the converted path to the =sqlcmd= tool.
  332. **** Improved support of header arguments for postgresql
  333. The postgresql engine in a sql code block supports now ~:dbport~ nd
  334. ~:dbpassword~ as header arguments.
  335. **** Support for additional plantuml output formats
  336. The support for output formats of [[http://plantuml.com/][plantuml]] has been extended to now
  337. include:
  338. All Diagrams:
  339. - png ::
  340. - svg ::
  341. - eps ::
  342. - pdf ::
  343. - vdx ::
  344. - txt :: ASCII art
  345. - utxt :: ASCII art using unicode characters
  346. Class Diagrams:
  347. - xmi ::
  348. - html ::
  349. State Diagrams:
  350. - scxml ::
  351. The output formats are determined by the file extension specified
  352. using the :file property, e.g.:
  353. #+begin_src plantuml :file diagram.png
  354. @startuml
  355. Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
  356. Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
  357. Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
  358. Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
  359. @enduml
  360. #+end_src
  361. Please note that *pdf* *does not work out of the box* and needs additional
  362. setup in addition to plantuml. See [[http://plantuml.com/pdf.html]] for
  363. details and setup information.
  364. *** Rewrite of radio lists
  365. Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
  366. rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
  367. parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
  368. for details.
  369. *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
  370. Used like ~org-bbdb-anniversaries~, it provides a few days warning for
  371. upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
  372. *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
  373. If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
  374. information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
  375. See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
  376. *** Support for ISO week trees
  377. ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
  378. by ISO week and not by month.
  379. For example:
  380. : * 2015
  381. : ** 2015-W35
  382. : ** 2015-W36
  383. : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
  384. They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
  385. ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
  386. *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
  387. When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
  388. an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
  389. On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
  390. *** Columns view
  391. **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
  392. When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
  393. buffer unconditionally.
  394. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
  395. The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
  396. **** Allow custom summaries
  397. It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
  398. provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
  399. **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
  400. Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
  401. types.
  402. *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
  403. *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
  404. When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
  405. a git repository.
  406. *** Allow conditional case-fold searches in ~org-occur~
  407. When set to ~smart~, the new variable ~org-occur-case-fold-search~ allows
  408. to mimic =isearch.el=: if the regexp searched contains any upper case
  409. character (or character class), the search is case sensitive.
  410. Otherwise, it is case insensitive.
  411. *** More robust repeated =ox-latex= footnote handling
  412. Repeated footnotes are now numbered by referring to a label in the
  413. first footnote.
  414. *** The ~org-block~ face is inherited by ~src-blocks~
  415. This works also when =org-src-fontify-natively= is non-nil. It is also
  416. possible to specify per-languages faces. See =org-src-block-faces= and
  417. the manual for details.
  418. *** Links are now customizable
  419. Links can now have custom colors, tooltips, keymaps, display behavior,
  420. etc. Links are now centralized in ~org-link-parameters~.
  421. ** New functions
  422. *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
  423. It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
  424. *** ~org-show-children~
  425. It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
  426. ** Removed functions
  427. *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
  428. Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
  429. *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
  430. Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
  431. *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
  432. Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
  433. *** ~org-babel-trim~ is deprecated.
  434. Use ~org-trim~ instead.
  435. *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
  436. Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
  437. *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
  438. Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
  439. The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
  440. *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
  441. Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
  442. *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
  443. A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
  444. now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
  445. *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
  446. Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
  447. *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
  448. It was not called by any org code since 2010.
  449. *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
  450. The affected functions are:
  451. - ~org-count~
  452. - ~org-remove-if~
  453. - ~org-remove-if-not~
  454. - ~org-reduce~
  455. - ~org-every~
  456. - ~org-some~
  457. Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
  458. the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
  459. end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
  460. ** Removed options
  461. *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
  462. This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
  463. Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
  464. let those libraries operate.
  465. *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
  466. Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
  467. plain list.
  468. *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  469. fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
  470. ** Miscellaneous
  471. *** Add Icelandic smart quotes
  472. *** Allow multiple receiver locations in radio tables and lists
  473. *** Allow angular links within link descriptions
  474. It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
  475. ~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
  476. ~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
  477. is that spaces are allowed within the path.
  478. *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  479. *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
  480. Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
  481. current projet. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
  482. Org files.
  483. *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
  484. The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
  485. indentation.
  486. *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
  487. Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
  488. However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
  489. the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
  490. placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
  491. very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
  492. Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
  493. template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
  494. expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
  495. another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
  496. *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
  497. Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
  498. to the article's original group.
  499. *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
  500. The calling convention has changed.
  501. *** HTML export table row customization changes
  502. Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
  503. ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
  504. Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
  505. called with 6 parameters.
  506. *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
  507. *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
  508. The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
  509. *** ~org-trim~ can preserve leading indentation.
  510. When setting a new optional argument to a non-nil value, ~org-trim~
  511. preserves leading indentation while removing blank lines at the
  512. beginning of the string. The behavior is identical for white space at
  513. the end of the string.
  514. *** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
  515. HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
  516. than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
  517. Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
  518. : <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  519. where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
  520. For most folks this file does not exist.
  521. Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
  522. : <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  523. All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other
  524. =gnu.org= manuals.
  525. *** Repeaters with a ~++~ interval and a time can be shifted to later today
  526. Previously, if a recurring task had a timestamp of
  527. ~<2016-01-01 Fri 20:00 ++1d>~ and was completed on =2016-01-02= at
  528. =08:00=, the task would skip =2016-01-02= and would be rescheduled for
  529. =2016-01-03=. Timestamps with ~++~ cookies and a specific time will
  530. now shift to the first possible future occurrence, even if the
  531. occurrence is later the same day the task is completed. (Timestamps
  532. already in the future are still shifted one time further into the
  533. future.)
  534. *** ~org-mobile-action-alist~ is now a defconst
  535. It used to be a defcustom, with a warning that it shouldn't be
  536. modified anyway.
  537. *** ~file+emacs~ and ~file+sys~ link types are deprecated
  538. They are still supported in Org 9.0 but will eventually be removed in
  539. a later release. Use ~file~ link type along with universal arguments
  540. to force opening it in either Emacs or with system application.
  541. *** New defcustom ~org-babel-J-command~ stores the j command
  542. *** New defalias ~org-babel-execute:j~
  543. Allows J source blocks be indicated by letter j. Previously the
  544. indication letter was solely J.
  545. *** ~org-open-line~ ignores tables at the very beginning of the buffer
  546. When ~org-special-ctrl-o~ is non-nil, it is impractical to create
  547. a blank line above a table at the beginning of the document. Now, as
  548. a special case, ~org-open-line~ behaves normally in this situation.
  549. *** ~org-babel-hash-show-time~ is now customizable
  550. The experimental variable used to be more or less confidential, as
  551. a ~defvar~.
  552. *** New ~:format~ property to parsed links
  553. It defines the format of the original link. Possible values are:
  554. ~plain~, ~bracket~ and ~angle~.
  555. * Version 8.3
  556. ** Incompatible changes
  557. *** Properties drawers syntax changes
  558. Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
  559. headline and its planning line, when applicable.
  560. It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
  561. logged before the property drawer.
  562. The following function will repair them:
  563. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  564. (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
  565. "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
  566. Ignore non Org buffers."
  567. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  568. (org-with-wide-buffer
  569. (goto-char (point-min))
  570. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  571. (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
  572. (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
  573. "END[ \t]*$"))))
  574. (org-map-entries
  575. (lambda ()
  576. (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
  577. (save-excursion
  578. (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
  579. (forward-line)
  580. (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
  581. (when (and (< (point) end)
  582. (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
  583. (save-excursion
  584. (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
  585. (eq (org-element-type
  586. (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
  587. 'drawer))))
  588. (insert (delete-and-extract-region
  589. (match-beginning 0)
  590. (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
  591. (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
  592. #+END_SRC
  593. *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
  594. If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
  595. exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
  596. is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
  597. into account when exporting.
  598. If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
  599. for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
  600. *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
  601. It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
  602. the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
  603. 5.14 (2008).
  604. =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
  605. properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
  606. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  607. ,* Headline
  608. :PROPERTIES:
  609. :CATEGORY: some category
  610. :END:
  611. #+END_SRC
  612. *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
  613. ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
  614. and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
  615. controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
  616. see.
  617. *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
  618. ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
  619. version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
  620. Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
  621. ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
  622. *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
  623. Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
  624. buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
  625. *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
  626. The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
  627. ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~
  628. respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
  629. functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
  630. (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
  631. *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
  632. ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
  633. =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
  634. *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
  635. If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
  636. org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
  637. org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
  638. *** Functions signature changes
  639. The following functions require an additional argument. See their
  640. docstring for more information.
  641. - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
  642. - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
  643. - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
  644. - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
  645. - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
  646. - ~org-link-search~
  647. ** New features
  648. *** Default lexical evaluation of emacs-lisp src blocks
  649. Emacs-lisp src blocks in babel are now evaluated using lexical
  650. scoping. There is a new header to control this behavior.
  651. The default results in an eval with lexical scoping.
  652. :lexical yes
  653. This turns lexical scoping off in the eval (the former behavior).
  654. :lexical no
  655. This uses the lexical environment with x=42 in the eval.
  656. :lexical '((x . 42))
  657. *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
  658. If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
  659. without changing the headline.
  660. *** Hierarchies of tags
  661. The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
  662. This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
  663. in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
  664. The following in-buffer definition:
  665. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  666. ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
  667. ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
  668. ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
  669. #+END_SRC
  670. Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
  671. - Group
  672. - SubOne
  673. - SubOne1
  674. - SubOne2
  675. - SubTwo
  676. - SubTwo1
  677. - SubTwo2
  678. Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
  679. on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
  680. There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
  681. *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
  682. Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
  683. don't have to be distinct on a heading.
  684. Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
  685. already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
  686. non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: { }
  687. can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the given
  688. tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
  689. [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
  690. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  691. ,* Test :sub1:sub2:
  692. #+END_SRC
  693. This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
  694. grouptags; { }.
  695. *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
  696. Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
  697. "sub-tags".
  698. The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
  699. Example use:
  700. : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
  701. Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
  702. regular expression matches for P@.+. This is good for example for
  703. projects tagged with a common identifier, i.e. P@2014_OrgTags.
  704. *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
  705. Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filters all of the related tags.
  706. Except if a filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
  707. Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
  708. levels anymore.
  709. If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
  710. is also used as a filter.
  711. *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
  712. Now uses the argument ARG and optional argument exclude instead of
  713. strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
  714. makes more sense than strip now. The term "narrowing" is changed to
  715. exclude.
  716. The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
  717. filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
  718. *** Babel: support for sed scripts
  719. Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
  720. *** Babel: support for Processing language
  721. New ob-processing.el library.
  722. This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
  723. of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
  724. external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
  725. Check the documentation for more details.
  726. Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
  727. *** New behaviour for ~org-toggle-latex-fragment~
  728. The new behaviour is the following:
  729. - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument when
  730. point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the whole
  731. buffer;
  732. - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
  733. subtree;
  734. - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
  735. - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
  736. *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  737. The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
  738. instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
  739. *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  740. Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
  741. possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
  742. more information.
  743. *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
  744. One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
  745. which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
  746. ~org-drawers~ variable.
  747. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
  748. Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
  749. mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
  750. "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
  751. configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
  752. *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
  753. If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
  754. argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
  755. representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
  756. default is =hline=.
  757. *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
  758. For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch in
  759. a source block.
  760. *** New option in ASCII export
  761. Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting ~org-ascii-list-margin~
  762. variable to an appopriate integer.
  763. *** New blocks in ASCII export
  764. ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT=
  765. blocks. See documentation for details.
  766. *** More back-end specific publishing options
  767. The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
  768. increased. See manual for details.
  769. *** Export inline source blocks
  770. Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
  771. now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
  772. in the output, depending on the parameters.
  773. *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
  774. These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
  775. *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
  776. *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
  777. *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
  778. This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
  779. more features. See docstring for details.
  780. *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
  781. *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
  782. Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
  783. document, befor wrapping it within the template.
  784. *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
  785. : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
  786. : #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  787. : This sentence is false.
  788. : #+END_EXAMPLE
  789. will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
  790. *** Various improvements on radio tables
  791. Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
  792. ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
  793. parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are new
  794. parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
  795. ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
  796. docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
  797. *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
  798. It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction
  799. with source blocks exported by the minted package.
  800. *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
  801. Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
  802. would throw an error. A new variable ~org-table-formula-create-columns~
  803. was added to adjust this behavior. It is now possible to silently add
  804. new columns, to do so with a warning or to explicitly ask the user
  805. each time.
  806. *** ASCII plot
  807. Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
  808. for details.
  809. *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
  810. This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
  811. on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
  812. *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
  813. When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
  814. *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
  815. This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is now
  816. deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
  817. special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
  818. *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  819. See the docstring for more information.
  820. *** Export unnumbered headlines
  821. Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
  822. exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
  823. property is inherited by children.
  824. *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
  825. It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
  826. through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~ keys,
  827. to sort a table.
  828. *** Table of contents can be local to a section
  829. The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See manual
  830. for details.
  831. *** Countdown timers can now be paused
  832. ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
  833. countdown timers.
  834. *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
  835. When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
  836. displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
  837. *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
  838. It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
  839. ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
  840. *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
  841. It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
  842. ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
  843. manual for details.
  844. *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
  845. It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
  846. title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
  847. *** New entities family: "\_ "
  848. "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
  849. back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
  850. leading spaces within table cells.
  851. *** New MathJax configuration options
  852. Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
  853. of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
  854. *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
  855. When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
  856. `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
  857. `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
  858. However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
  859. =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
  860. value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
  861. keywords and properties.
  862. *** Viewport support in html export
  863. Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
  864. when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
  865. *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
  866. Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
  867. for details.
  868. *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
  869. Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
  870. allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in a
  871. dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
  872. *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
  873. Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
  874. added to headline text.
  875. *** Support for images in Texinfo export
  876. ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See the manual for details.
  877. *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
  878. Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
  879. of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
  880. =#+TOC= keyword.
  881. *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
  882. In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
  883. set using the hh:mm:ss format.
  884. *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
  885. ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for the
  886. number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original subtree
  887. and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
  888. *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
  889. It encompasses all past closed clocks.
  890. *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
  891. See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
  892. ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
  893. *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
  894. *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
  895. ** Removed functions
  896. *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
  897. Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
  898. *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
  899. This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
  900. current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
  901. it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
  902. accessible from the export dispatcher.
  903. *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
  904. ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
  905. *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
  906. This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
  907. references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
  908. *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
  909. The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
  910. optional argument.
  911. *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
  912. These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
  913. anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
  914. ** Removed options
  915. *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
  916. It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
  917. compatibility.
  918. If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
  919. two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
  920. *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
  921. Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
  922. body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
  923. document instead.
  924. *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
  925. Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
  926. everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
  927. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
  928. This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name= at
  929. the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the value
  930. of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=. To chose
  931. a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind this
  932. variable locally.
  933. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
  934. This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
  935. styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
  936. be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
  937. compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
  938. anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
  939. *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
  940. Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
  941. would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
  942. removed.
  943. *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
  944. Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
  945. *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
  946. This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
  947. *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
  948. This variable has no effect since August 2009.
  949. *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
  950. MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
  951. end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
  952. ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
  953. ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
  954. *** Removed comment-related filters
  955. ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
  956. ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
  957. anymore.
  958. ** Miscellaneous
  959. *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
  960. ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
  961. *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
  962. Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
  963. =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
  964. *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
  965. As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
  966. footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
  967. labels colliding.
  968. *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
  969. This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
  970. =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
  971. *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
  972. =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
  973. *** Select tests to perform with the build system
  974. The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
  975. regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
  976. This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
  977. particular test failure was introduced.
  978. *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
  979. Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
  980. the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as well
  981. as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~ when
  982. ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
  983. *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
  984. New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
  985. Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
  986. *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  987. If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
  988. ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~ now.
  989. *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
  990. This helps spotting wrong links.
  991. * Version 8.2
  992. ** Incompatible changes
  993. *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
  994. This may require two changes in user config.
  995. 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
  996. 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
  997. to remove "sh" and include "shell".
  998. *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
  999. Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
  1000. 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
  1001. need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
  1002. Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
  1003. =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
  1004. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
  1005. with this:
  1006. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  1007. *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
  1008. Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
  1009. t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
  1010. option keywords like :html-include-style.
  1011. So you need to replace
  1012. : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
  1013. by
  1014. : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
  1015. Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
  1016. and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
  1017. *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
  1018. ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
  1019. process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
  1020. relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
  1021. Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
  1022. the other optional arguments accordingly.
  1023. *** Export back-ends are now structures
  1024. Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
  1025. communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
  1026. now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
  1027. of a symbol.
  1028. Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
  1029. ** Important bugfixes
  1030. *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
  1031. *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
  1032. *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
  1033. You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
  1034. this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
  1035. separator starting a TOTO match string.
  1036. ** New features
  1037. *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
  1038. See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
  1039. of the list.
  1040. *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
  1041. - Support SVG images
  1042. - Support for .pgf files
  1043. - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
  1044. - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
  1045. - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
  1046. replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
  1047. or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
  1048. - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
  1049. now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
  1050. *** New functions for paragraph motion
  1051. The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
  1052. that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
  1053. in a paragraph-like way.
  1054. *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  1055. Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
  1056. dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
  1057. leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
  1058. preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
  1059. check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
  1060. *** Anonymous export back-ends
  1061. ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
  1062. which can then be passed to export functions like
  1063. ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
  1064. It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
  1065. registering a new back-end.
  1066. *** New agenda fortnight view
  1067. The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
  1068. views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
  1069. ** New options
  1070. *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
  1071. This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
  1072. *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
  1073. This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
  1074. See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
  1075. *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
  1076. This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
  1077. the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
  1078. Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
  1079. allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
  1080. library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
  1081. so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
  1082. t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
  1083. of =ox-rss.el=.
  1084. *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
  1085. This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
  1086. *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
  1087. This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
  1088. *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
  1089. See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
  1090. *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
  1091. If you set this to the following
  1092. : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
  1093. then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
  1094. *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
  1095. This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
  1096. =C-o= in tables.
  1097. ** New contributed packages
  1098. - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
  1099. export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
  1100. software.
  1101. - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
  1102. screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
  1103. ** Miscellaneous
  1104. *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
  1105. "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
  1106. starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
  1107. a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
  1108. the same with example blocks.
  1109. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
  1110. release.
  1111. * Version 8.0.1
  1112. ** Installation
  1113. Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
  1114. If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
  1115. instructions:
  1116. - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
  1117. =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
  1118. customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
  1119. - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
  1120. correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
  1121. only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
  1122. the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
  1123. detailed explanations.
  1124. - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
  1125. you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
  1126. function has been called already.
  1127. When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
  1128. installation.
  1129. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
  1130. ** Incompatible changes
  1131. Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
  1132. If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
  1133. If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
  1134. you will have to update them.
  1135. Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
  1136. See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
  1137. this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
  1138. **** New export engine
  1139. Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
  1140. export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
  1141. already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
  1142. /all/ export back-ends.
  1143. The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
  1144. keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
  1145. built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
  1146. directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
  1147. [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
  1148. More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
  1149. corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
  1150. If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
  1151. rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
  1152. option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
  1153. manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
  1154. **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
  1155. : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
  1156. should now be written
  1157. : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
  1158. Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
  1159. respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
  1160. each backend. See Org's manual for details.
  1161. **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
  1162. You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
  1163. Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
  1164. now fully removed.
  1165. Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
  1166. remember templates into capture templates.
  1167. **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
  1168. If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
  1169. will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
  1170. **** Note for third-party developers
  1171. The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
  1172. prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
  1173. files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
  1174. If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
  1175. code.
  1176. **** Packages moved from core to contrib
  1177. Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
  1178. to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
  1179. moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
  1180. The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
  1181. is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
  1182. included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
  1183. user-base.
  1184. - org-colview-xemacs.el
  1185. - org-mac-message.el
  1186. - org-mew.el
  1187. - org-wl.el
  1188. - ox-freedmind.el
  1189. - ox-taskjuggler.el
  1190. Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
  1191. ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
  1192. ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
  1193. Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
  1194. wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
  1195. ** New packages in core
  1196. *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
  1197. =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
  1198. *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1199. =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
  1200. *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
  1201. =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
  1202. vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
  1203. *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
  1204. =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
  1205. ** New packages in contrib
  1206. *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
  1207. [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
  1208. =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
  1209. code.
  1210. *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1211. [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
  1212. software, written entirely in the C programming language.
  1213. ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
  1214. entries.
  1215. *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1216. ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
  1217. *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
  1218. Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
  1219. Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
  1220. for starting headlines.
  1221. *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
  1222. ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
  1223. locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
  1224. the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
  1225. [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
  1226. *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
  1227. ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
  1228. *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
  1229. [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
  1230. presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  1231. using =deck.js=.
  1232. [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
  1233. presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  1234. using =s5=.
  1235. *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
  1236. The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
  1237. plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
  1238. output.
  1239. Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
  1240. conversion from Org files to groff.
  1241. *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
  1242. This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
  1243. *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
  1244. This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
  1245. with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
  1246. entirely with Org.
  1247. ** New features
  1248. *** Export
  1249. **** New export generic options
  1250. If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
  1251. it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
  1252. Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
  1253. - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
  1254. =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
  1255. You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
  1256. file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
  1257. - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
  1258. =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
  1259. now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
  1260. [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
  1261. new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
  1262. set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
  1263. standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
  1264. contains time-stamps.
  1265. To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
  1266. Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
  1267. the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
  1268. **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
  1269. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
  1270. **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
  1271. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
  1272. **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
  1273. **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
  1274. **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
  1275. *** Structure editing
  1276. **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
  1277. **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
  1278. [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
  1279. prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
  1280. **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
  1281. This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
  1282. would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
  1283. create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
  1284. an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
  1285. region.
  1286. **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
  1287. In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
  1288. _words__= will preserve markup.
  1289. **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
  1290. This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
  1291. is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
  1292. can slow down the flow of editing too much.
  1293. **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
  1294. These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
  1295. speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
  1296. **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
  1297. These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
  1298. now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
  1299. =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
  1300. forward and backward.
  1301. **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
  1302. **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
  1303. Now Org will sort this list
  1304. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  1305. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  1306. like this:
  1307. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  1308. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  1309. by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
  1310. Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
  1311. **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
  1312. For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
  1313. =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
  1314. states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
  1315. In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
  1316. local variable.
  1317. **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
  1318. The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
  1319. When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
  1320. time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
  1321. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
  1322. This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
  1323. restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
  1324. The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
  1325. restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
  1326. option to =nil=.
  1327. **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
  1328. When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
  1329. removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
  1330. information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
  1331. If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
  1332. TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
  1333. **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
  1334. This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
  1335. The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
  1336. fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
  1337. : #+attr_html: :width 300px
  1338. *** Scheduled/deadline
  1339. **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
  1340. If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
  1341. now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
  1342. task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
  1343. from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
  1344. Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
  1345. you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
  1346. display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
  1347. to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
  1348. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
  1349. occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
  1350. occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
  1351. and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
  1352. control this globally or per agenda.
  1353. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
  1354. See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
  1355. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
  1356. =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
  1357. *** Calendar, diary and appts
  1358. **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
  1359. By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
  1360. normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
  1361. the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
  1362. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1363. ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
  1364. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
  1365. ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
  1366. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
  1367. (kbd "@")
  1368. (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
  1369. #+END_SRC
  1370. **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
  1371. This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
  1372. appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
  1373. call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
  1374. **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
  1375. [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
  1376. in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
  1377. only show their description, not the full links.
  1378. *** Agenda
  1379. **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
  1380. When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
  1381. list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
  1382. want to build a list of appointments.
  1383. You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
  1384. each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
  1385. Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
  1386. : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
  1387. This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
  1388. time value (i.e. appointments).
  1389. **** New agenda sorting strategies
  1390. [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
  1391. | Strategy | Explanations |
  1392. |----------------+------------------------------------------|
  1393. | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
  1394. | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
  1395. | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
  1396. | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
  1397. | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
  1398. | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
  1399. | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
  1400. | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
  1401. | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
  1402. | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
  1403. **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
  1404. You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
  1405. different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
  1406. while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
  1407. These new options are available:
  1408. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
  1409. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
  1410. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
  1411. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
  1412. For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
  1413. view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
  1414. without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
  1415. When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
  1416. to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
  1417. no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
  1418. to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
  1419. show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
  1420. non-tagged headlines.
  1421. **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
  1422. You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
  1423. regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
  1424. example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
  1425. that take only =N= minutes.
  1426. **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
  1427. You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
  1428. == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
  1429. [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
  1430. **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
  1431. Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
  1432. filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
  1433. **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
  1434. You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
  1435. headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
  1436. This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
  1437. list of notes.
  1438. **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
  1439. It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
  1440. your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
  1441. =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
  1442. This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
  1443. change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
  1444. **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
  1445. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
  1446. to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
  1447. This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
  1448. **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
  1449. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
  1450. display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
  1451. outline tree.
  1452. **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
  1453. =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
  1454. overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
  1455. asks for a confirmation.
  1456. **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
  1457. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
  1458. the mark of the entry at point.
  1459. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
  1460. toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
  1461. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
  1462. This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
  1463. E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
  1464. level 1.
  1465. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
  1466. This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
  1467. options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
  1468. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
  1469. This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
  1470. entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
  1471. **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
  1472. The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
  1473. it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
  1474. [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
  1475. string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
  1476. **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  1477. When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
  1478. =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
  1479. repeated beyond the current deadline.
  1480. **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
  1481. This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
  1482. which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
  1483. prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
  1484. deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
  1485. Read the full docstring for details.
  1486. **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
  1487. For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
  1488. : * Task
  1489. : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
  1490. *** Capture
  1491. **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
  1492. With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
  1493. point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
  1494. capture template.
  1495. **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
  1496. If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
  1497. expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
  1498. **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
  1499. [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  1500. allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
  1501. be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
  1502. check against the name of the buffer.
  1503. *** Tag groups
  1504. Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
  1505. (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
  1506. headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
  1507. of those tags.)
  1508. You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
  1509. agenda views, and for filtering.
  1510. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
  1511. *** Links
  1512. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
  1513. Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
  1514. other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
  1515. through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
  1516. Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
  1517. as if the protocol was not known.
  1518. You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
  1519. **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
  1520. Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
  1521. Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
  1522. RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
  1523. active.
  1524. **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
  1525. =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
  1526. description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
  1527. with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
  1528. **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
  1529. When storing a link to a headline like
  1530. : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
  1531. [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
  1532. It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
  1533. there is no description.
  1534. *** Table
  1535. **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
  1536. If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
  1537. apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
  1538. those other formulas.
  1539. **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
  1540. If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
  1541. [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
  1542. mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
  1543. the end.
  1544. **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
  1545. If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
  1546. english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
  1547. internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
  1548. doing computation.
  1549. **** New lookup functions
  1550. There are now three lookup functions:
  1551. - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
  1552. - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
  1553. - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
  1554. See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
  1555. *** Startup keywords
  1556. These new startup keywords are now available:
  1557. | Startup keyword | Option |
  1558. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1559. | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
  1560. | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
  1561. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1562. | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
  1563. | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
  1564. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1565. | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
  1566. | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
  1567. *** Clocking
  1568. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
  1569. E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
  1570. clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
  1571. 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
  1572. your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
  1573. **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
  1574. When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
  1575. day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
  1576. for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
  1577. the clocktable.
  1578. See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
  1579. [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
  1580. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
  1581. This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
  1582. milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
  1583. **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
  1584. When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
  1585. option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
  1586. [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
  1587. **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
  1588. **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
  1589. **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
  1590. **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
  1591. **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
  1592. **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
  1593. **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
  1594. *** Babel
  1595. **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
  1596. This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
  1597. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
  1598. This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
  1599. same target than the block at point.
  1600. **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
  1601. When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
  1602. in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
  1603. file under the same directory than the base Org file.
  1604. When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
  1605. the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
  1606. time.
  1607. **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
  1608. This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
  1609. code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
  1610. manual for a usage example.
  1611. **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
  1612. If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
  1613. the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
  1614. collecting blocks for tangling.
  1615. **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
  1616. **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
  1617. Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
  1618. cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
  1619. **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
  1620. **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
  1621. When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
  1622. instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
  1623. *** Faces
  1624. - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
  1625. - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
  1626. - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
  1627. - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags

  1633. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  1634. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  1635. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  1636. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
  1637. - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
  1638. - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
  1639. - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
  1640. - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
  1641. - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
  1642. - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
  1643. - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=

  1652. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  1653. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  1654. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  1655. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  1656. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  1657. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  1658. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  1659. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  1660. found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  1661. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
  1662. - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]

  1664. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  1665. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  1666. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  1667. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  1668. * Version 7.9.3
  1669. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  1670. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  1671. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  1672. agenda views.)
  1673. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  1674. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  1675. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  1676. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  1677. agenda type to this variable.
  1678. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  1679. generation.
  1680. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  1681. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  1682. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  1683. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  1684. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  1685. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  1686. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  1687. invisible) blocked tasks.
  1688. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  1689. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  1690. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  1691. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  1692. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  1693. ** No GPL manual anymore
  1694. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  1695. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  1696. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  1697. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  1698. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  1699. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  1700. in most environments.
  1701. * Version 7.9.2
  1702. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  1703. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  1704. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1705. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  1706. #+END_SRC
  1707. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  1708. available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  1709. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  1710. directory.)
  1711. See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
  1712. ** Overview of the new keybindings
  1713. | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
  1714. |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|
  1715. | =C-c C-x C-z= | | [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]] |
  1716. | =C-c C-x C-q= | | [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]] |
  1717. | =C-c C-x C-x= | | [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] |

  1726. | =k= | | [[doc::org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] |
  1727. | C-c , | , | [[doc::org-priority][org-priority]] |
  1728. ** New package and Babel language
  1729. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  1730. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  1731. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  1732. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  1733. ** Incompatible changes
  1734. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  1735. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  1736. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  1737. instead.
  1738. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  1739. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  1740. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  1741. ** New features and user-visible changes
  1742. *** Org Element
  1743. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  1744. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  1745. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  1746. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  1747. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  1748. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  1749. See the docstrings for more details.
  1750. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  1751. on =org-element.el=.
  1752. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  1753. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  1754. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  1755. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  1756. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  1757. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  1758. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  1759. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  1760. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  1761. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  1762. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  1763. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  1764. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  1765. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  1766. elements.
  1767. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  1768. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  1769. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  1770. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  1771. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  1772. item. Etc.
  1773. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  1774. the whole list.
  1775. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  1776. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  1777. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  1778. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  1779. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  1780. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  1781. the same level.
  1782. *** Org Agenda
  1783. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  1784. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  1785. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  1786. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  1787. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  1788. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  1789. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  1790. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  1791. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  1792. generating new ones.
  1793. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  1794. agenda buffer.
  1795. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  1796. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1797. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  1798. to this value
  1799. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1800. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  1801. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  1802. #+END_SRC
  1803. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  1804. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  1805. details on how to use this.
  1806. **** Changes in bulk actions
  1807. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  1808. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  1809. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  1810. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  1811. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  1812. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  1813. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  1814. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  1815. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  1816. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  1817. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  1818. =t=.
  1819. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  1820. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  1821. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  1822. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  1823. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  1824. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  1825. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  1826. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  1827. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  1828. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  1829. =f= or =w=).
  1830. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  1831. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  1832. of deadline.
  1833. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  1834. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  1835. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  1836. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  1837. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  1838. several times.
  1839. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  1840. See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  1841. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  1842. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  1843. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  1844. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  1845. filters and category filters.
  1846. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  1847. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  1848. configuration.
  1849. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  1850. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  1851. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  1852. point.
  1853. *** Org Links
  1854. **** Inserting links
  1855. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  1856. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  1857. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  1858. want to insert.
  1859. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  1860. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  1861. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  1862. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  1863. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  1864. highlighted.
  1865. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  1866. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  1867. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  1868. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  1869. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  1870. **** New link type =help=
  1871. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  1872. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  1873. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  1874. you go back to the same buffer.
  1875. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  1876. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  1877. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  1878. =org-stored-links=.
  1879. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  1880. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  1881. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  1882. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  1883. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  1884. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  1885. *** Org Editing
  1886. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  1887. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  1888. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  1889. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  1890. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  1891. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  1892. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  1893. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  1894. all headlines in the region.
  1895. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  1896. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  1897. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  1898. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  1899. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  1900. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  1901. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  1902. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  1903. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  1904. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  1905. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  1906. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  1907. undo RET=.
  1908. *** Org Clock
  1909. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  1910. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  1911. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  1912. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  1913. clocked entry, if any.
  1914. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  1915. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  1916. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  1917. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  1918. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  1919. out.
  1920. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  1921. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  1922. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  1923. arguments).
  1924. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  1925. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  1926. in.
  1927. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  1928. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  1929. cells in clockreport.
  1930. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  1931. time cells in clockreport.
  1932. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  1933. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  1934. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1935. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  1936. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1937. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  1938. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  1939. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  1940. space in the frame title.
  1941. *** Org Appearance
  1942. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  1943. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  1944. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  1945. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  1946. don't want to see temporarily.
  1947. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  1948. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  1949. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  1950. There are these new entities:
  1951. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  1952. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  1953. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  1954. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  1955. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  1956. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  1957. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  1958. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  1959. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  1960. The face is back to a normal height.
  1961. *** Org Columns
  1962. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  1963. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  1964. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  1965. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  1966. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  1967. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  1968. block will use its value as the column format.
  1969. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  1970. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  1971. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  1972. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  1973. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  1974. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  1975. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  1976. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  1977. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  1978. You can now use
  1979. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  1980. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  1981. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  1982. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  1983. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  1984. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  1985. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  1986. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  1987. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  1988. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  1989. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  1990. *** Org Capture
  1991. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  1992. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  1993. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  1994. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  1995. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  1996. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  1997. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1998. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  1999. set to this value
  2000. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2001. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  2002. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  2003. #+END_SRC
  2004. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  2005. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  2006. more details on how to use this.
  2007. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  2008. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  2009. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  2010. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  2011. =nil=.
  2012. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  2013. See the manual for more explanations.
  2014. **** More control over empty lines
  2015. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  2016. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  2017. explanations.
  2018. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  2019. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  2020. *** Org Export
  2021. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  2022. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  2023. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  2024. available) to print beautiful tables.
  2025. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  2026. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  2027. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  2028. the table.
  2029. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  2030. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  2031. in the #+DATE option.
  2032. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  2033. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  2034. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  2035. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  2036. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  2037. More languages are always welcome.
  2038. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  2039. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  2040. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  2041. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  2042. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  2043. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  2044. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  2045. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  2046. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  2047. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  2048. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  2049. *** Org Babel
  2050. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  2051. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  2052. supported.
  2053. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  2054. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  2055. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  2056. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  2057. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  2058. It used to exports the results of the code.
  2059. *** Miscellaneous
  2060. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  2061. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  2062. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  2063. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  2064. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  2065. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  2066. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  2067. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  2068. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  2069. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  2070. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  2071. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  2072. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  2073. alarm.
  2074. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  2075. This will increment the effort value.
  2076. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  2077. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  2078. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  2079. attach symbolic links.
  2080. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  2081. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  2082. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  2083. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  2084. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  2085. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  2086. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  2087. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  2088. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  2089. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  2090. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  2091. all top level list items.
  2092. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  2093. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  2094. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  2095. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  2096. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  2097. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  2098. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  2099. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  2100. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  2101. first headline in the region.
  2102. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  2103. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  2104. agenda.
  2105. ** Important bug fixes
  2106. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  2107. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  2108. perform completion with meaningful values.
  2109. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  2110. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  2111. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  2112. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  2113. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  2114. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  2115. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  2116. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  2117. license.
  2118. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  2119. the code and the license to your needs.
  2120. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  2121. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  2122. * Version 7.8.11
  2123. ** Incompatible changes
  2124. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  2125. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  2126. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  2127. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  2128. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  2129. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  2130. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  2131. last-minute save.
  2132. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  2133. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  2134. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  2135. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  2136. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  2137. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  2138. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  2139. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  2140. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  2141. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  2142. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  2143. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  2144. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  2145. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  2146. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  2147. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  2148. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  2149. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  2150. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  2151. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  2152. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  2153. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  2154. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  2155. #+end_src
  2156. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  2157. setup./
  2158. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  2159. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  2160. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  2161. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  2162. The two new variables are:
  2163. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  2164. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  2165. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  2166. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  2167. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  2168. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  2169. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  2170. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  2171. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  2172. classes.
  2173. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  2174. document are:
  2175. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  2176. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  2177. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  2178. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  2179. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  2180. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  2181. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  2182. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  2183. #+begin_example
  2184. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  2185. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  2186. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  2187. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  2188. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  2189. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  2190. #+end_example
  2191. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  2192. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  2193. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  2194. applies to the following packages:
  2195. - inputenc
  2196. - fontenc
  2197. - fixltx2e
  2198. - graphicx
  2199. - longtable
  2200. - float
  2201. - wrapfig
  2202. - soul
  2203. - t1enc
  2204. - textcomp
  2205. - marvosym
  2206. - wasysym
  2207. - latexsym
  2208. - amssymb
  2209. - hyperref
  2210. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  2211. you are using, you can remove it from
  2212. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  2213. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  2214. properly.
  2215. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  2216. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  2217. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  2218. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  2219. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  2220. the header.
  2221. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  2222. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  2223. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  2224. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  2225. code using it.
  2226. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  2227. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  2228. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  2229. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  2230. ** Important new features
  2231. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  2232. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  2233. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  2234. for more information on how to customize it.
  2235. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  2236. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  2237. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  2238. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  2239. section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  2240. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  2241. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  2242. [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  2243. To switch over to the new system:
  2244. 1. Run
  2245. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  2246. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  2247. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  2248. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  2249. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  2250. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  2251. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  2252. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  2253. customization.
  2254. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  2255. with org-remember:
  2256. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  2257. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  2258. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  2259. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  2260. with using both system in parallel.
  2261. ** New libraries
  2262. *** New Org libraries
  2263. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  2264. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  2265. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  2266. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  2267. To use, put the following in your init file:
  2268. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  2269. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  2270. #+END_EXAMPLE
  2271. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  2272. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  2273. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  2274. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  2275. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  2276. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  2277. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  2278. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  2279. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  2280. anything.
  2281. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  2282. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  2283. He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  2284. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  2285. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  2286. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  2287. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  2288. /org-ctags.el/.
  2289. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  2290. call function to do something special with text links.
  2291. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  2292. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  2293. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  2294. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  2295. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  2296. Org-mode manual:
  2297. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  2298. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  2299. *** New Babel libraries
  2300. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  2301. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  2302. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  2303. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  2304. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  2305. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  2306. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  2307. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  2308. *** Hyperlinks
  2309. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  2310. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  2311. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  2312. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  2313. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  2314. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  2315. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  2316. The key new functions are
  2317. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  2318. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  2319. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  2320. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  2321. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  2322. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  2323. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  2324. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  2325. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  2326. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  2327. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  2328. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  2329. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  2330. **** Modified link escaping
  2331. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  2332. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  2333. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  2334. : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
  2335. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  2336. : link).
  2337. :
  2338. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  2339. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  2340. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  2341. : percent escaped links are solved.
  2342. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  2343. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  2344. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  2345. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  2346. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  2347. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  2348. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  2349. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  2350. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  2351. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  2352. string to be executed.
  2353. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  2354. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  2355. to org-file-apps:
  2356. #+begin_example
  2357. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  2358. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  2359. #+end_example
  2360. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  2361. *** Dates and time
  2362. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  2363. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  2364. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  2365. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  2366. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  2367. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  2368. will work on the current entry.
  2369. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  2370. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  2371. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  2372. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  2373. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  2374. #+begin_example
  2375. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  2376. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  2377. #+end_example
  2378. *** Agenda
  2379. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  2380. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  2381. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  2382. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  2383. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  2384. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  2385. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  2386. entries using a function.
  2387. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  2388. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  2389. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  2390. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  2391. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  2392. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  2393. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  2394. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  2395. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  2396. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  2397. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  2398. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  2399. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  2400. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  2401. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  2402. *** Exporting
  2403. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  2404. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  2405. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  2406. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  2407. docstring of these variable for details about available
  2408. %-sequences.
  2409. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  2410. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  2411. formatting string will insert a string.
  2412. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  2413. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  2414. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  2415. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  2416. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  2417. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  2418. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  2419. C-e u=, respectively.
  2420. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  2421. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  2422. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  2423. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  2424. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  2425. your preference.
  2426. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  2427. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  2428. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  2429. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  2430. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  2431. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  2432. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  2433. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  2434. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  2435. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  2436. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  2437. section]] in the manual for more details.
  2438. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  2439. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  2440. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  2441. individual could.
  2442. *** Refiling
  2443. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  2444. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  2445. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  2446. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  2447. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  2448. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  2449. **** New logging support for refiling
  2450. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  2451. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  2452. =org-log-refile=.
  2453. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  2454. *** Completion
  2455. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  2456. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  2457. *** Tables
  2458. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  2459. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  2460. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  2461. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  2462. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  2463. the displayed in the buffer.
  2464. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  2465. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  2466. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  2467. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  2468. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  2469. |--------+--------+---------|
  2470. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  2471. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  2472. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  2473. optional.
  2474. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  2475. feedback on this.
  2476. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  2477. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  2478. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  2479. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  2480. : things like
  2481. :
  2482. : @3=
  2483. : @2$2..@5$7=
  2484. : @I$2..@II$4=
  2485. :
  2486. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  2487. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  2488. : table.
  2489. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  2490. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  2491. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  2492. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  2493. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  2494. *** Lists
  2495. **** Improved handling of lists
  2496. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  2497. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  2498. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  2499. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  2500. indented than it.
  2501. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  2502. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  2503. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  2504. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  2505. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  2506. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  2507. `org-list-export-context'.
  2508. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  2509. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  2510. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  2511. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  2512. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  2513. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  2514. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  2515. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  2516. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  2517. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  2518. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  2519. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  2520. *** Inline display of linked images
  2521. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  2522. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  2523. that have no description part will be inlined.
  2524. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  2525. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  2526. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  2527. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  2528. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  2529. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  2530. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  2531. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  2532. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  2533. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  2534. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  2535. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  2536. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  2537. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  2538. tangling
  2539. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  2540. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  2541. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  2542. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  2543. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  2544. properties or in tables.
  2545. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  2546. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  2547. names, and rownames across all languages.
  2548. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  2549. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  2550. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  2551. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  2552. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  2553. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  2554. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  2555. request by Scott Otterson.
  2556. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  2557. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  2558. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  2559. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  2560. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  2561. superscripts, see the variable
  2562. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  2563. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  2564. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  2565. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  2566. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  2567. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  2568. following new faces:
  2569. =org-document-title=
  2570. =org-document-info=
  2571. =org-document-info-keyword=
  2572. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  2573. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  2574. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  2575. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  2576. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  2577. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  2578. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  2579. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  2580. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  2581. property is affected by this setting.
  2582. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  2583. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  2584. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  2585. Requested by Michael Brand.
  2586. **** Better level cycling function
  2587. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  2588. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  2589. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  2590. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  2591. **** Adaptive filling
  2592. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  2593. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  2594. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  2595. comments to be filled correctly.
  2596. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  2597. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  2598. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  2599. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  2600. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  2601. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  2602. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  2603. *** Clocking
  2604. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  2605. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  2606. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  2607. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  2608. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  2609. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  2610. **** Localized clock tables
  2611. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  2612. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  2613. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  2614. available translated strings.
  2615. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  2616. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  2617. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  2618. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  2619. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  2620. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  2621. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  2622. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  2623. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  2624. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  2625. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  2626. =nil=.
  2627. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  2628. *** Misc
  2629. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  2630. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  2631. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  2632. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  2633. **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  2634. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  2635. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  2636. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  2637. property) back.
  2638. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  2639. change.
  2640. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  2641. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  2642. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  2643. #+begin_example
  2644. org-table-get
  2645. org-table-put
  2646. org-table-current-line
  2647. org-table-goto-line
  2648. #+end_example
  2649. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  2650. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  2651. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  2652. node.
  2653. This was requested by Tom.
  2654. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  2655. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  2656. example by viewing from the agenda.
  2657. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
