  6. Please send Org bug reports to mailto:emacs-orgmode@gnu.org.
  7. * Version 9.1
  8. ** Incompatible changes
  9. *** Variables relative to clocksum duration are obsolete
  10. ~org-time-clocksum-format~, ~org-time-clocksum-use-fractional~ and
  11. ~org-time-clocksum-fractional-format~ are obsolete. If you changed
  12. them, consider modifying ~org-duration-format~ instead.
  13. Variable ~org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations~ is also obsolete.
  14. Consider setting ~org-duration-units~ instead.
  15. *** ~org-at-timestamp-p~ optional argument accepts different values
  16. See docstrings for the allowed values. For backward compatibility,
  17. ~(org-at-timestamp-p t)~ is still supported, but should be updated
  18. accordingly.
  19. *** ~org-capture-templates~ no longer accepts S-expressions as file names
  20. Since functions are allowed there, a straightforward way to migrate
  21. is to turn, e.g.,
  22. : (file (sexp))
  23. into
  24. : (file (lambda () (sexp)))
  25. *** Deleted contributed packages
  26. =org-ebib.el, =org-bullets.el= and =org-mime.el= have been deleted
  27. from the contrib/ directory.
  28. You can now find them here :
  29. - https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib
  30. - https://github.com/sabof/org-bullets
  31. - https://github.com/org-mime/org-mime
  32. *** Change ~org-texinfo-classes~ value
  33. The value cannot support functions to create sectionning commands
  34. anymore. Also, the sectionning commands should include commands for
  35. appendices. See the docstring for more information.
  36. *** Removal of ~:sitemap-sans-extension~
  37. The publishing property is no longer recognized, as a consequence of
  38. changes to site-map generation.
  39. You can get the same functionality by setting ~:sitemap-format-entry~
  40. to the following
  41. #+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  42. (lambda (entry style project)
  43. (cond ((not (directory-name-p entry))
  44. (format "[[file:%s][%s]]"
  45. (file-name-sans-extension entry)
  46. (org-publish-find-title entry project)))
  47. ((eq style 'tree) (file-name-nondirectory (directory-file-name entry)))
  48. (t entry)))
  49. #+END_SRC
  50. *** Change signature for ~:sitemap-function~
  51. ~:sitemap-function~ now expects to be called with two arguments. See
  52. ~org-publish-project-alist~ for details.
  53. *** Change signature for some properties in ~org-list-to-generic~
  54. ~:istart~, ~:icount~, ~:iend~ and ~:isep~ now expect the type of the
  55. list as their first argument.
  56. *** Change signature for ~org-get-repeater~
  57. The optional argument is now a string to extract the repeater from.
  58. See docstring for details.
  59. *** Change signature for ~org-time-string-to-time~
  60. See docstring for changes.
  61. *** Change order of items in ~org-agenda-time-grid~
  62. ~org-agenda-time-grid~ gained an extra item to allow users to customize
  63. the string displayed after times in the agenda. See docstring for
  64. details.
  65. ** New features
  66. *** ~org-attach~ can move directory contents
  67. When setting a new directory for an entry, org-attach offers to move
  68. files over from the old directory. Using a prefix arg will reset the
  69. directory to old, ID based one.
  70. *** New Org duration library
  71. This new library implements tools to read and print time durations in
  72. various formats (e.g., "H:MM", or "1d 2h 3min"...).
  73. See ~org-duration-to-minutes~ and ~org-duration-from-minutes~
  74. docstrings.
  75. *** Agenda
  76. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~
  77. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~
  78. **** New variable : ~org-deadline-past-days~
  79. See docstring for details.
  80. **** Binding C-c C-x < for ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  81. *** New value for ~org-publish-sitemap-sort-folders~
  82. The new ~ignore~ value effectively allows toggling inclusion of
  83. directories in published site-maps.
  84. *** Babel
  85. **** Scheme: support for tables
  86. **** Scheme: new variable: ~org-babel-scheme-null-to~
  87. This new custom option allows to use a empty list or null symbol to
  88. format the table output, initially assigned to ~hlines~.
  89. **** Scheme: new header ~:prologue~
  90. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  91. developers to prepend code to the scheme block being processed.
  92. Multiple ~:prologue~ headers can be added each of them using a string
  93. with the content to be added.
  94. The scheme blocks are prepared by surronding the code in the block
  95. with a let form. The content of the ~:prologue~ headers are prepended
  96. before this let form.
  97. **** Support for hledger accounting reports added
  98. **** Clojure: new setting ~org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout~
  99. Creation of a new setting to specify the Cider timeout. By setting
  100. the =org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout= setting option. The value
  101. is in seconds and if set to =nil= then no timeout will occur.
  102. **** Clojure: new header ~:show-process~
  103. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  104. developers to output the process of an ongoing process into a new
  105. window/buffer.
  106. You can tell Org Babel to output the process of a running code block.
  107. To show that output you only have to specify the =:show-process=
  108. option in the code block's header like this:
  109. #+begin_example
  110. ,#+BEGIN_SRC clojure :results output :show-process t
  111. (dotimes [n 10]
  112. (println n ".")
  113. (Thread/sleep 500))
  114. ,#+END_SRC
  115. #+end_example
  116. If =:show-process= is specified that way, then when you will run the
  117. code using =C-c C-c= a new window will open in Emacs. Everything that
  118. is output by the REPL will immediately be added to that new window.
  119. When the processing of the code is finished, then the window and its
  120. buffer will be closed and the results will be reported in the
  121. =#+RESULTS= section.
  122. Note that the =:results= parameter's behavior is *not* changed. If
  123. =silent= is specified, then no result will be displayed. If =output=
  124. is specified then all the output from the window will appears in the
  125. results section. If =value= is specified, then only the last returned
  126. value of the code will be displayed in the results section.
  127. **** Maxima: new headers ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~
  128. Babel options ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~ have been implemented for
  129. Maxima src blocks which prepend and append, respectively, the given
  130. code strings. This can be useful for specifying formatting settings
  131. which would add clutter to exported code. For instance, you can use
  132. this ~:prologue "fpprintprec: 2; linel: 50;"~ for presenting Maxima
  133. results in a beamer presentation.
  134. **** PlantUML: add support for header arguments
  135. [[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
  136. [[http://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] header arguments.
  137. **** SQL: new engine added ~sqsh~
  138. A new engine was added to support ~sqsh~ command line utility for use
  139. against Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase SQL server.
  140. More information on ~sqsh~ can be found here: [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/sqsh/][sourceforge/sqsh]]
  141. To use ~sqsh~ in an *sql* =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  142. #+begin_example
  143. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine sqsh :dbhost my_host :dbuser master :dbpassword pass :database support
  144. Select * From Users
  145. Where clue > 0
  146. ,#+END_SRC
  147. #+end_example
  148. **** SQL: new engine added =vertica=
  149. A new engine was added to support vsql command line utility for use
  150. against HP Vertica.
  151. More information on =vsql= can be found here: [[https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.2.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/ConnectingToHPVertica/vsql/UsingVsql.htm][my.vertica.com]]
  152. To use =vertica= in an sql =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  153. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  154. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine vertica :dbhost my_host :dbuser dbadmin :dbpassword pw :database vmart
  155. SELECT * FROM nodes;
  156. ,#+END_SRC
  157. #+END_EXAMPLE
  158. **** C++: New header ~:namespaces~
  159. The new ~:namespaces~ export option can be used to specify namespaces
  160. to be used within a C++ org source block. Its usage is similar to
  161. ~:includes~, in that it can accept multiple, space-separated
  162. namespaces to use. This header is equivalent to adding ~using
  163. namespace <name>;~ in the source block. Here is a "Hello World" in C++
  164. using ~:namespaces~:
  165. #+begin_example
  166. ,#+BEGIN_SRC C++ :results output :namespaces std :includes <iostream>
  167. cout << "Hello World" << endl;
  168. ,#+END_SRC
  169. #+end_example
  170. **** Support for Vala language
  171. [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala][Vala]] language blocks support two special header arguments:
  172. - ~:flags~ passes arguments to the compiler
  173. - ~:cmdline~ passes commandline arguments to the generated executable
  174. Support for [[http://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] does not exist yet, also there is no [[http://orgmode.org/manual/session.html#session][~:session~]]
  175. support because Vala is a compiled language.
  176. The Vala compiler binary can be changed via the ~defcustom~
  177. ~org-babel-vala-compiler~.
  178. *** New ~function~ scope argument for the Clock Table
  179. Added a nullary function that returns a list of files as a possible
  180. argument for the scope of the clock table.
  181. *** Export
  182. **** Implement vernacular table of contents in Markdown exporter
  183. Global table of contents are generated using vanilla Markdown syntax
  184. instead of HTML. Also #+TOC keyword, including local table of
  185. contents, are now supported.
  186. **** Add Slovanian translations
  187. **** Implement ~org-export-insert-image-links~
  188. This new function is meant to be used in back-ends supporting images
  189. as descriptions of links, a.k.a. image links. See its docstring for
  190. details.
  191. **** New macro : ~{{{n}}}~
  192. This macro creates and increment multiple counters in a document. See
  193. manual for details.
  194. **** Add global macros through ~org-export-global-macros~
  195. With this variable, one can define macros available for all documents.
  196. **** New keyword ~#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME~
  197. Similarly to ~:EXPORT_FILE_NAME:~ property, this keyword allows the
  198. user to specify the name of the output file upon exporting the
  199. document. This also has an effect on publishing.
  200. **** Horizontal rules are no longer ignored in LaTeX table math mode
  201. **** Use ~compilation-mode~ for compilation output
  202. **** Plain lists accept a new ~:separator~ attribute in Texinfo
  203. The new ~:separator~ attribute splits a tag from a description list
  204. item into multiple parts. This allows to have two-column tables with
  205. multiple entries in the first column. See manual for more details.
  206. **** ~latex-environment~ elements support ~caption~ keywords for LaTeX export
  207. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit LaTeX environments
  208. Using ~C-c '~ on a LaTeX environment opens a sub-editing buffer. By
  209. default, major mode in that buffer is ~latex-mode~, but it can be
  210. changed by configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~.
  211. *** ~org-list-to-generic~ includes a new property: ~:ifmt~
  212. ~:ifmt~ is a function to be called on the body of each item. See
  213. ~org-list-to-generic~ documentation for details.
  214. *** New variable : ~org-bibtex-headline-format-function~
  215. This allow to use a different title than entry title.
  216. *** ~org-attach~ supports attaching files from URLs
  217. Using ~C-c C-a u~ prompts for a URL pointing to a file to be attached
  218. to the document.
  219. *** New option for ~org-refile-use-outline-path~
  220. ~org-refile-use-outline-path~ now supports the setting ~buffer-name~,
  221. which causes refile targets to be prefixed with the buffer’s
  222. name. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with
  223. ~uniquify.el~.
  224. *** ~org-file-contents~ now allows the FILE argument to be a URL.
  225. This allows ~#+SETUPFILE:~ to accept a URL instead of a local file
  226. path. The URL contents are auto-downloaded and saved to a temporary
  227. cache ~org--file-cache~. A new optional argument ~NOCACHE~ is added
  228. to ~org-file-contents~.
  229. *** ~org-mode-restart~ now resets the newly added ~org--file-cache~.
  230. Using ~C-c C-c~ on any keyword (like ~#+SETUPFILE~) will reset the
  231. that file cache.
  232. *** New option : ~org-table-duration-hour-zero-padding~
  233. This variable allow computed durations in tables to be zero-padded.
  234. *** New mode switch for table formulas : =U=
  235. This mode omits seconds in durations.
  236. ** Removed functions
  237. *** Org Timeline
  238. This feature has been removed. Use a custom agenda view, possibly
  239. narrowed to current buffer to achieve a similar functionality.
  240. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  241. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  242. *** ~org-agenda-skip-subtree-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  243. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  244. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches-in-subtree~ is obsolete
  245. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  246. *** ~org-minutes-to-clocksum-string~ is obsolete
  247. Use ~org-duration-from-minutes~ instead.
  248. *** ~org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  249. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  250. *** ~org-duration-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  251. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  252. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-cached-article-number~ is removed.
  253. This function relied on ~nnimap-group-overview-filename~, which was
  254. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  255. ** Removed options
  256. *** ~org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all~ is removed.
  257. For an equivalent to a ~nil~ value, set
  258. ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~ to nil and
  259. ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~ to ~t~.
  260. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-query-article-no-from-file~ is removed.
  261. This variable has no effect, as it was relying on a function that was
  262. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  263. *** ~org-usenet-links-prefer-google~ is obsolete.
  264. Use ~org-gnus-prefer-web-links~ instead.
  265. *** ~org-publish-sitemap-file-entry-format~ is deprecated
  266. One can provide new ~:sitemap-format-entry~ property for a function
  267. equivalent to the removed format string.
  268. *** ~org-texinfo-def-table-markup~ is obsolete
  269. Use ~org-texinfo-table-default-markup~ instead.
  270. ** New functions
  271. *** ~org-publish-find-property~
  272. This function can be used as a tool to format entries in a site-map,
  273. in addition to ~org-publish-find-title~ and ~org-publish-find-date~.
  274. *** ~org-list-to-org~
  275. It is the reciprocal of ~org-list-to-lisp~, which see.
  276. *** ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  277. Call ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock~ from the agenda.
  278. ** Miscellaneous
  279. *** Allow multiple columns view
  280. Columns view is not limited to a single buffer anymore.
  281. *** Org Attach obeys ~dired-dwim-target~
  282. When a Dired buffer is opened next to the Org document being edited,
  283. the prompt for file to attach can start in the Dired buffer's
  284. directory if `dired-dwim-target' in non-nil.
  285. *** ~org-fill-paragraph~ can now fill a whole region
  286. *** More specific anniversary descriptions
  287. Anniversary descriptions (used in the agenda view, for instance)
  288. include the point in time, when the anniversary appears. This is,
  289. in its most general form, just the date of the anniversary. Or
  290. more specific terms, like "today", "tomorrow" or "in n days" are
  291. used to describe the time span.
  292. This feature allows to automatically change the description of an
  293. anniversary, depending on if it occurs in the next few days or
  294. far away in the future.
  295. *** Computed dates in tables appear as inactive time stamps
  296. *** Save point before opening a file with an unknown search option
  297. When following a file link with a search option (e.g., =::#custom-id=)
  298. that doesn't exist in the target file, save positon before raising an
  299. error. As a consequence, it is possible to jump back to the original
  300. document with ~org-mark-ring-goto~ (default binding =C-c &=).
  301. *** ~org-get-heading~ accepts two more optional arguments
  302. See docstring for details.
  303. *** ~tags-todo~ custom searches now include DONE keywords
  304. ~tags-todo~ is now equivalent to ~C-c a m~ instead of ~C-c a M~ unless
  305. you use "/!" markup when filtering TODO keywords.
  306. *** New option ~org-babel-uppercase-example-markers~
  307. This variable is a ~defcustom~ and replaces the variable
  308. ~org-babel-capitalize-example-region-markers~, which is a ~defvar~ and
  309. is now obselete.
  310. *** =INCLUDE= keywords in commented trees are now ignored.
  311. *** Default value for ~org-texinfo-text-markup-alist~ changed.
  312. Now ~=...=~ markup uses ~@samp{}~ instead of ~@verb{}~. You can use
  313. ~@verb{}~ again by customizing the variable.
  314. *** Texinfo exports example blocks as ~@example~
  315. *** Texinfo exports inline src blocks as ~@code{}~
  316. *** Texinfo default table markup is ~@asis~
  317. It used to be ~@samp~ but ~@asis~ is neutral and, therefore, more
  318. suitable as a default value.
  319. *** Texinfo default process includes ~--no-split~ option
  320. *** New entities : ~\dollar~ and ~\USD~
  321. *** ~org-parse-time-string~ accepts a new optional argument
  322. =ZONE= specifies the current time zone.
  323. *** ~org-time-string-to-seconds~ now accepts an optional =ZONE= argument
  324. *** Support for date style URLs in =org-protocol://open-source=
  325. URLs like =https://cool-blog.com/2017/05/20/cool-post/= are
  326. covered by rewrite rules.
  327. * Version 9.0
  328. ** Incompatible changes
  329. *** Emacs 23 support has been dropped
  330. From now on, Org expects at least Emacs 24.3, although Emacs 24.4 or
  331. above is suggested.
  332. *** XEmacs support has been dropped
  333. Incomplete compatibility layer with XEmacs has been removed. If you
  334. want to take over maintenance of this compatibility, please contact
  335. our mailing list.
  336. *** New syntax for export blocks
  337. Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
  338. disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
  339. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  340. ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
  341. ...
  342. ,#+END_EXPORT
  343. #+END_SRC
  344. instead of
  345. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  346. ,#+BEGIN_backend
  347. ...
  348. ,#+END_backend
  349. #+END_SRC
  350. As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
  351. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  352. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
  353. #+END_SRC
  354. becomes
  355. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  356. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
  357. #+END_SRC
  358. The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
  359. using previous syntax:
  360. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  361. (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
  362. "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
  363. (interactive)
  364. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  365. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  366. (back-end-re (regexp-opt
  367. '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
  368. "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
  369. t)))
  370. (org-with-wide-buffer
  371. (goto-char (point-min))
  372. (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
  373. (save-excursion
  374. (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
  375. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  376. (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
  377. (save-excursion
  378. (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
  379. (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
  380. (forward-char)
  381. (insert "EXPORT")
  382. (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
  383. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
  384. (let ((include-re
  385. (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
  386. (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
  387. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  388. (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
  389. (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
  390. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
  391. #+END_SRC
  392. Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~ and
  393. ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to be
  394. removed.
  395. *** Footnotes
  396. **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
  397. Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
  398. it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
  399. constructs are now unsupported.
  400. If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them into
  401. =[fn:N]=.
  402. **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
  403. Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
  404. something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
  405. consider using the =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
  406. In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
  407. exists.
  408. *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
  409. The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
  410. S-expressions. Replacing an S-expression with an appropriate function
  411. is straightforward. For example
  412. : ("pdf" . (foo))
  413. becomes
  414. : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
  415. *** The ~{{{modification-time}}}~ macro can get time via =vc=
  416. The modification time will be determined via =vc.el= if the second
  417. argument is non-nil. See the manual for details.
  418. *** Preparation and completion functions in publishing projects change signature
  419. Preparation and completion functions are now called with an argument,
  420. which is the project property list. It used to be dynamically scoped
  421. through the ~project-plist~ variable.
  422. *** Old Babel header properties are no longer supported
  423. Using header arguments as property names is no longer possible. As
  424. such, the following
  425. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  426. ,* Headline
  427. :PROPERTIES:
  428. :exports: code
  429. :var: a=1 b=2
  430. :var+: c=3
  431. :END:
  432. #+END_EXAMPLE
  433. should be written instead
  434. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  435. ,* Headline
  436. :PROPERTIES:
  437. :header-args: :exports code
  438. :header-args+: :var a=1 b=2
  439. :header-args+: :var c=3
  440. :END:
  441. #+END_EXAMPLE
  442. Please note that, however, old properties were defined at the source
  443. block definition. Current ones are defined where the block is called.
  444. ** New features
  445. *** ~org-eww~ has been moved into core
  446. *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
  447. Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
  448. #+begin_example
  449. org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
  450. org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
  451. #+end_example
  452. Old-style links such as
  453. : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
  454. continue to be supported.
  455. If you have defined your own handler functions for
  456. ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
  457. list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
  458. ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into property
  459. lists.
  460. *** New Org linter library
  461. ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
  462. *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
  463. When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
  464. entries are added to last in the date tree.
  465. *** New ~vbar~ entity
  466. ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionally as a =|=,
  467. unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~&vert;~ when using
  468. a HTML derived export back-end.
  469. *** Export
  470. **** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
  471. PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
  472. details.
  473. **** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
  474. This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
  475. a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
  476. **** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
  477. Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
  478. string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
  479. position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
  480. for more details.
  481. **** New Texinfo ~options~ attribute on special blocks
  482. Using ~:options~ as a Texinfo attribute, it is possible to add
  483. information to custom environments. See manual for details.
  484. **** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
  485. If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
  486. will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
  487. enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
  488. ~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
  489. **** Listings with captions are now numbered in HTML export
  490. The class associated to the numbering is "listing-number". If you
  491. don't want these blocks to be numbered, as it was the case until now,
  492. You may want to add ~.listing-number { display: none; }~ to the CSS
  493. used.
  494. **** Line Numbering in SRC/EXAMPLE blocks support arbitrary start number
  495. The ~-n~ option to ~SRC~ and ~EXAMPLE~ blocks can now take a numeric
  496. argument to specify the staring line number for the source or example
  497. block. The ~+n~ option can now take a numeric argument that will be
  498. added to the last line number from the previous block as the starting
  499. point for the SRC/EXAMPLE block.
  500. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  501. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp -n 20
  502. ;; this will export with line number 20
  503. (message "This is line 21")
  504. ,#+END_SRC
  505. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp +n 10
  506. ;; This will be listed as line 31
  507. (message "This is line 32")
  508. ,#+END_SRC
  509. #+END_SRC
  510. **** Allow toggling center for images in LaTeX export
  511. With the global variable ~org-latex-images-centered~ or the local
  512. attribute ~:center~ it is now possible to center an image in LaTeX
  513. export.
  514. **** Default CSS class ~org-svg~ for SVG images in HTML export
  515. SVG images exported in HTML are now by default assigned a CSS class
  516. ~org-svg~ if no CSS class is specified with the ~:class~ attribute. By
  517. default, the CSS styling of class ~org-svg~ specifies an image width of
  518. 90\thinsp{}% of the container the image.
  519. **** Markdown footnote export customization
  520. Variables ~org-md-footnotes-section~ and ~org-md-footnote-format~
  521. introduced for =ox-md.el=. Both new variables define template strings
  522. which can be used to customize the format of the exported footnotes
  523. section and individual footnotes, respectively.
  524. *** Babel
  525. **** Blocks with coderefs labels can now be evaluated
  526. The labels are removed prior to evaluating the block.
  527. **** Support for Lua language
  528. **** Support for SLY in Lisp blocks
  529. See ~org-babel-lisp-eval-fn~ to activate it.
  530. **** Support for Stan language
  531. New ob-stan.el library.
  532. Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
  533. 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
  534. This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
  535. allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
  536. 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
  537. This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
  538. ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
  539. that does not end in ".stan".
  540. For more information and usage examples, visit
  541. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
  542. **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
  543. =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
  544. database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
  545. mandatory):
  546. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  547. :engine oracle
  548. :dbhost <host.com>
  549. :dbport <1521>
  550. :dbuser <username>
  551. :database <database>
  552. :dbpassword <secret>
  553. #+END_EXAMPLE
  554. **** Improved support to Microsoft SQL Server via ~sqlcmd~
  555. =ob-sql= library removes support to the ~msosql~ engine which uses the
  556. deprecated ~osql~ command line tool, and replaces it with ~mssql~
  557. engine which uses the ~sqlcmd~ command line tool. Use with properties
  558. like this:
  559. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  560. :engine mssql
  561. :dbhost <host.com>
  562. :dbuser <username>
  563. :dbpassword <secret>
  564. :database <database>
  565. #+END_EXAMPLE
  566. If you want to use the *trusted connection* feature, omit *both* the
  567. =dbuser= and =dbpassword= properties and add =cmdline -E= to the properties.
  568. If your Emacs is running in a Cygwin environment, the =ob-sql= library
  569. can pass the converted path to the =sqlcmd= tool.
  570. **** Improved support of header arguments for postgresql
  571. The postgresql engine in a sql code block supports now ~:dbport~ nd
  572. ~:dbpassword~ as header arguments.
  573. **** Support for additional plantuml output formats
  574. The support for output formats of [[http://plantuml.com/][plantuml]] has been extended to now
  575. include:
  576. All Diagrams:
  577. - png ::
  578. - svg ::
  579. - eps ::
  580. - pdf ::
  581. - vdx ::
  582. - txt :: ASCII art
  583. - utxt :: ASCII art using unicode characters
  584. Class Diagrams:
  585. - xmi ::
  586. - html ::
  587. State Diagrams:
  588. - scxml ::
  589. The output formats are determined by the file extension specified
  590. using the :file property, e.g.:
  591. #+begin_src plantuml :file diagram.png
  592. @startuml
  593. Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
  594. Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
  595. Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
  596. Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
  597. @enduml
  598. #+end_src
  599. Please note that *pdf* *does not work out of the box* and needs additional
  600. setup in addition to plantuml. See [[http://plantuml.com/pdf.html]] for
  601. details and setup information.
  602. *** Rewrite of radio lists
  603. Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
  604. rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
  605. parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
  606. for details.
  607. *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
  608. Used like ~org-bbdb-anniversaries~, it provides a few days warning for
  609. upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
  610. *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
  611. If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
  612. information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
  613. See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
  614. *** Support for ISO week trees
  615. ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
  616. by ISO week and not by month.
  617. For example:
  618. : * 2015
  619. : ** 2015-W35
  620. : ** 2015-W36
  621. : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
  622. They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
  623. ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
  624. *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
  625. When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
  626. an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
  627. On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
  628. *** Columns view
  629. **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
  630. When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
  631. buffer unconditionally.
  632. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
  633. The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
  634. **** Allow custom summaries
  635. It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
  636. provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
  637. **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
  638. Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
  639. types.
  640. *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
  641. *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
  642. When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
  643. a git repository.
  644. *** Allow conditional case-fold searches in ~org-occur~
  645. When set to ~smart~, the new variable ~org-occur-case-fold-search~ allows
  646. to mimic =isearch.el=: if the regexp searched contains any upper case
  647. character (or character class), the search is case sensitive.
  648. Otherwise, it is case insensitive.
  649. *** More robust repeated =ox-latex= footnote handling
  650. Repeated footnotes are now numbered by referring to a label in the
  651. first footnote.
  652. *** The ~org-block~ face is inherited by ~src-blocks~
  653. This works also when =org-src-fontify-natively= is non-nil. It is also
  654. possible to specify per-languages faces. See =org-src-block-faces= and
  655. the manual for details.
  656. *** Links are now customizable
  657. Links can now have custom colors, tooltips, keymaps, display behavior,
  658. etc. Links are now centralized in ~org-link-parameters~.
  659. ** New functions
  660. *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
  661. It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
  662. *** ~org-show-children~
  663. It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
  664. ** Removed functions
  665. *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
  666. Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
  667. *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
  668. Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
  669. *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
  670. Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
  671. *** ~org-babel-trim~ is deprecated.
  672. Use ~org-trim~ instead.
  673. *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
  674. Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
  675. *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
  676. Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
  677. The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
  678. *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
  679. Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
  680. *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
  681. A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
  682. now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
  683. *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
  684. Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
  685. *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
  686. It was not called by any org code since 2010.
  687. *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
  688. The affected functions are:
  689. - ~org-count~
  690. - ~org-remove-if~
  691. - ~org-remove-if-not~
  692. - ~org-reduce~
  693. - ~org-every~
  694. - ~org-some~
  695. Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
  696. the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
  697. end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
  698. ** Removed options
  699. *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
  700. This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
  701. Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
  702. let those libraries operate.
  703. *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
  704. Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
  705. plain list.
  706. *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  707. fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
  708. ** Miscellaneous
  709. *** Add Icelandic smart quotes
  710. *** Allow multiple receiver locations in radio tables and lists
  711. *** Allow angular links within link descriptions
  712. It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
  713. ~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
  714. ~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
  715. is that spaces are allowed within the path.
  716. *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  717. *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
  718. Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
  719. current project. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
  720. Org files.
  721. *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
  722. The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
  723. indentation.
  724. *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
  725. Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
  726. However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
  727. the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
  728. placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
  729. very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
  730. Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
  731. template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
  732. expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
  733. another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
  734. *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
  735. Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
  736. to the article's original group.
  737. *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
  738. The calling convention has changed.
  739. *** HTML export table row customization changes
  740. Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
  741. ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
  742. Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
  743. called with 6 parameters.
  744. *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
  745. *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
  746. The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
  747. *** ~org-trim~ can preserve leading indentation.
  748. When setting a new optional argument to a non-nil value, ~org-trim~
  749. preserves leading indentation while removing blank lines at the
  750. beginning of the string. The behavior is identical for white space at
  751. the end of the string.
  752. *** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
  753. HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
  754. than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
  755. Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
  756. : <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  757. where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
  758. For most folks this file does not exist.
  759. Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
  760. : <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  761. All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other
  762. =gnu.org= manuals.
  763. *** Repeaters with a ~++~ interval and a time can be shifted to later today
  764. Previously, if a recurring task had a timestamp of
  765. ~<2016-01-01 Fri 20:00 ++1d>~ and was completed on =2016-01-02= at
  766. =08:00=, the task would skip =2016-01-02= and would be rescheduled for
  767. =2016-01-03=. Timestamps with ~++~ cookies and a specific time will
  768. now shift to the first possible future occurrence, even if the
  769. occurrence is later the same day the task is completed. (Timestamps
  770. already in the future are still shifted one time further into the
  771. future.)
  772. *** ~org-mobile-action-alist~ is now a defconst
  773. It used to be a defcustom, with a warning that it shouldn't be
  774. modified anyway.
  775. *** ~file+emacs~ and ~file+sys~ link types are deprecated
  776. They are still supported in Org 9.0 but will eventually be removed in
  777. a later release. Use ~file~ link type along with universal arguments
  778. to force opening it in either Emacs or with system application.
  779. *** New defcustom ~org-babel-J-command~ stores the j command
  780. *** New defalias ~org-babel-execute:j~
  781. Allows J source blocks be indicated by letter j. Previously the
  782. indication letter was solely J.
  783. *** ~org-open-line~ ignores tables at the very beginning of the buffer
  784. When ~org-special-ctrl-o~ is non-nil, it is impractical to create
  785. a blank line above a table at the beginning of the document. Now, as
  786. a special case, ~org-open-line~ behaves normally in this situation.
  787. *** ~org-babel-hash-show-time~ is now customizable
  788. The experimental variable used to be more or less confidential, as
  789. a ~defvar~.
  790. *** New ~:format~ property to parsed links
  791. It defines the format of the original link. Possible values are:
  792. ~plain~, ~bracket~ and ~angle~.
  793. * Version 8.3
  794. ** Incompatible changes
  795. *** Properties drawers syntax changes
  796. Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
  797. headline and its planning line, when applicable.
  798. It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
  799. logged before the property drawer.
  800. The following function will repair them:
  801. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  802. (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
  803. "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
  804. Ignore non Org buffers."
  805. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  806. (org-with-wide-buffer
  807. (goto-char (point-min))
  808. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  809. (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
  810. (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
  811. "END[ \t]*$"))))
  812. (org-map-entries
  813. (lambda ()
  814. (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
  815. (save-excursion
  816. (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
  817. (forward-line)
  818. (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
  819. (when (and (< (point) end)
  820. (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
  821. (save-excursion
  822. (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
  823. (eq (org-element-type
  824. (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
  825. 'drawer))))
  826. (insert (delete-and-extract-region
  827. (match-beginning 0)
  828. (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
  829. (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
  830. #+END_SRC
  831. *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
  832. If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
  833. exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
  834. is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
  835. into account when exporting.
  836. If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
  837. for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
  838. *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
  839. It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
  840. the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
  841. 5.14 (2008).
  842. =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
  843. properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
  844. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  845. ,* Headline
  846. :PROPERTIES:
  847. :CATEGORY: some category
  848. :END:
  849. #+END_SRC
  850. *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
  851. ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
  852. and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
  853. controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
  854. see.
  855. *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
  856. ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
  857. version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
  858. Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
  859. ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
  860. *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
  861. Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
  862. buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
  863. *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
  864. The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
  865. ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~
  866. respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
  867. functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
  868. (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
  869. *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
  870. ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
  871. =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
  872. *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
  873. If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
  874. org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
  875. org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
  876. *** Functions signature changes
  877. The following functions require an additional argument. See their
  878. docstring for more information.
  879. - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
  880. - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
  881. - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
  882. - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
  883. - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
  884. - ~org-link-search~
  885. ** New features
  886. *** Default lexical evaluation of emacs-lisp src blocks
  887. Emacs-lisp src blocks in babel are now evaluated using lexical
  888. scoping. There is a new header to control this behavior.
  889. The default results in an eval with lexical scoping.
  890. :lexical yes
  891. This turns lexical scoping off in the eval (the former behavior).
  892. :lexical no
  893. This uses the lexical environment with x=42 in the eval.
  894. :lexical '((x . 42))
  895. *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
  896. If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
  897. without changing the headline.
  898. *** Hierarchies of tags
  899. The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
  900. This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
  901. in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
  902. The following in-buffer definition:
  903. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  904. ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
  905. ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
  906. ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
  907. #+END_SRC
  908. Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
  909. - Group
  910. - SubOne
  911. - SubOne1
  912. - SubOne2
  913. - SubTwo
  914. - SubTwo1
  915. - SubTwo2
  916. Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
  917. on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
  918. There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
  919. *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
  920. Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
  921. don't have to be distinct on a heading.
  922. Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
  923. already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
  924. non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: { }
  925. can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the given
  926. tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
  927. [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
  928. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  929. ,* Test :sub1:sub2:
  930. #+END_SRC
  931. This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
  932. grouptags; { }.
  933. *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
  934. Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
  935. "sub-tags".
  936. The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
  937. Example use:
  938. : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
  939. Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
  940. regular expression matches for P@.+. This is good for example for
  941. projects tagged with a common identifier, i.e. P@2014_OrgTags.
  942. *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
  943. Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filters all of the related tags.
  944. Except if a filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
  945. Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
  946. levels anymore.
  947. If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
  948. is also used as a filter.
  949. *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
  950. Now uses the argument ARG and optional argument exclude instead of
  951. strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
  952. makes more sense than strip now. The term "narrowing" is changed to
  953. exclude.
  954. The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
  955. filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
  956. *** Babel: support for sed scripts
  957. Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
  958. *** Babel: support for Processing language
  959. New ob-processing.el library.
  960. This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
  961. of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
  962. external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
  963. Check the documentation for more details.
  964. Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
  965. *** New behaviour for ~org-toggle-latex-fragment~
  966. The new behaviour is the following:
  967. - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument when
  968. point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the whole
  969. buffer;
  970. - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
  971. subtree;
  972. - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
  973. - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
  974. *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  975. The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
  976. instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
  977. *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  978. Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
  979. possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
  980. more information.
  981. *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
  982. One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
  983. which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
  984. ~org-drawers~ variable.
  985. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
  986. Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
  987. mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
  988. "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
  989. configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
  990. *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
  991. If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
  992. argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
  993. representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
  994. default is =hline=.
  995. *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
  996. For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch in
  997. a source block.
  998. *** New option in ASCII export
  999. Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting ~org-ascii-list-margin~
  1000. variable to an appropriate integer.
  1001. *** New blocks in ASCII export
  1002. ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT=
  1003. blocks. See documentation for details.
  1004. *** More back-end specific publishing options
  1005. The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
  1006. increased. See manual for details.
  1007. *** Export inline source blocks
  1008. Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
  1009. now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
  1010. in the output, depending on the parameters.
  1011. *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
  1012. These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
  1013. *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
  1014. *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
  1015. *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
  1016. This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
  1017. more features. See docstring for details.
  1018. *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
  1019. *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
  1020. Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
  1021. document, before wrapping it within the template.
  1022. *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
  1023. : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
  1024. : #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1025. : This sentence is false.
  1026. : #+END_EXAMPLE
  1027. will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
  1028. *** Various improvements on radio tables
  1029. Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
  1030. ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
  1031. parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are new
  1032. parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
  1033. ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
  1034. docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
  1035. *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
  1036. It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction
  1037. with source blocks exported by the minted package.
  1038. *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
  1039. Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
  1040. would throw an error. A new variable ~org-table-formula-create-columns~
  1041. was added to adjust this behavior. It is now possible to silently add
  1042. new columns, to do so with a warning or to explicitly ask the user
  1043. each time.
  1044. *** ASCII plot
  1045. Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
  1046. for details.
  1047. *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
  1048. This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
  1049. on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
  1050. *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
  1051. When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
  1052. *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
  1053. This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is now
  1054. deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
  1055. special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
  1056. *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  1057. See the docstring for more information.
  1058. *** Export unnumbered headlines
  1059. Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
  1060. exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
  1061. property is inherited by children.
  1062. *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
  1063. It is now possible to specify a function, both programmatically,
  1064. through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~ keys,
  1065. to sort a table.
  1066. *** Table of contents can be local to a section
  1067. The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See manual
  1068. for details.
  1069. *** Countdown timers can now be paused
  1070. ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
  1071. countdown timers.
  1072. *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
  1073. When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
  1074. displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
  1075. *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
  1076. It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
  1077. ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
  1078. *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
  1079. It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
  1080. ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
  1081. manual for details.
  1082. *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
  1083. It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
  1084. title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
  1085. *** New entities family: "\_ "
  1086. "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
  1087. back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
  1088. leading spaces within table cells.
  1089. *** New MathJax configuration options
  1090. Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
  1091. of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
  1092. *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
  1093. When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
  1094. `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
  1095. `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
  1096. However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
  1097. =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
  1098. value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
  1099. keywords and properties.
  1100. *** Viewport support in html export
  1101. Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
  1102. when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
  1103. *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
  1104. Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
  1105. for details.
  1106. *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
  1107. Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
  1108. allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in a
  1109. dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
  1110. *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
  1111. Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
  1112. added to headline text.
  1113. *** Support for images in Texinfo export
  1114. ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See the manual for details.
  1115. *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
  1116. Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
  1117. of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
  1118. =#+TOC= keyword.
  1119. *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
  1120. In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
  1121. set using the hh:mm:ss format.
  1122. *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
  1123. ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for the
  1124. number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original subtree
  1125. and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
  1126. *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
  1127. It encompasses all past closed clocks.
  1128. *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
  1129. See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
  1130. ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
  1131. *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
  1132. *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
  1133. ** Removed functions
  1134. *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
  1135. Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
  1136. *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
  1137. This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
  1138. current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
  1139. it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
  1140. accessible from the export dispatcher.
  1141. *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
  1142. ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
  1143. *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
  1144. This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
  1145. references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
  1146. *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
  1147. The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
  1148. optional argument.
  1149. *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
  1150. These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
  1151. anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
  1152. ** Removed options
  1153. *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
  1154. It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
  1155. compatibility.
  1156. If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
  1157. two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
  1158. *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
  1159. Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
  1160. body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
  1161. document instead.
  1162. *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
  1163. Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
  1164. everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
  1165. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
  1166. This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name= at
  1167. the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the value
  1168. of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=. To chose
  1169. a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind this
  1170. variable locally.
  1171. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
  1172. This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
  1173. styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
  1174. be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
  1175. compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
  1176. anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
  1177. *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
  1178. Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
  1179. would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
  1180. removed.
  1181. *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
  1182. Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
  1183. *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
  1184. This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
  1185. *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
  1186. This variable has no effect since August 2009.
  1187. *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
  1188. MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
  1189. end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
  1190. ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
  1191. ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
  1192. *** Removed comment-related filters
  1193. ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
  1194. ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
  1195. anymore.
  1196. ** Miscellaneous
  1197. *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
  1198. ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
  1199. *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
  1200. Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
  1201. =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
  1202. *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
  1203. As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
  1204. footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
  1205. labels colliding.
  1206. *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
  1207. This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
  1208. =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
  1209. *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
  1210. =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
  1211. *** Select tests to perform with the build system
  1212. The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
  1213. regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
  1214. This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
  1215. particular test failure was introduced.
  1216. *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
  1217. Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
  1218. the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as well
  1219. as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~ when
  1220. ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
  1221. *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
  1222. New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
  1223. Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
  1224. *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  1225. If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
  1226. ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~ now.
  1227. *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
  1228. This helps spotting wrong links.
  1229. * Version 8.2
  1230. ** Incompatible changes
  1231. *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
  1232. This may require two changes in user config.
  1233. 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
  1234. 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
  1235. to remove "sh" and include "shell".
  1236. *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
  1237. Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
  1238. 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
  1239. need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
  1240. Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
  1241. =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
  1242. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
  1243. with this:
  1244. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  1245. *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
  1246. Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
  1247. t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
  1248. option keywords like :html-include-style.
  1249. So you need to replace
  1250. : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
  1251. by
  1252. : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
  1253. Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
  1254. and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
  1255. *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
  1256. ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
  1257. process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
  1258. relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
  1259. Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
  1260. the other optional arguments accordingly.
  1261. *** Export back-ends are now structures
  1262. Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
  1263. communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
  1264. now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
  1265. of a symbol.
  1266. Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
  1267. ** Important bugfixes
  1268. *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
  1269. *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
  1270. *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
  1271. You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
  1272. this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
  1273. separator starting a TOTO match string.
  1274. ** New features
  1275. *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
  1276. See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
  1277. of the list.
  1278. *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
  1279. - Support SVG images
  1280. - Support for .pgf files
  1281. - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
  1282. - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
  1283. - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
  1284. replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
  1285. or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
  1286. - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
  1287. now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
  1288. *** New functions for paragraph motion
  1289. The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
  1290. that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
  1291. in a paragraph-like way.
  1292. *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  1293. Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
  1294. dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
  1295. leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
  1296. preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
  1297. check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
  1298. *** Anonymous export back-ends
  1299. ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
  1300. which can then be passed to export functions like
  1301. ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
  1302. It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
  1303. registering a new back-end.
  1304. *** New agenda fortnight view
  1305. The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
  1306. views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
  1307. ** New options
  1308. *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
  1309. This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
  1310. *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
  1311. This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
  1312. See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
  1313. *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
  1314. This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
  1315. the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
  1316. Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
  1317. allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
  1318. library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
  1319. so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
  1320. t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
  1321. of =ox-rss.el=.
  1322. *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
  1323. This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
  1324. *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
  1325. This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
  1326. *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
  1327. See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
  1328. *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
  1329. If you set this to the following
  1330. : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
  1331. then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
  1332. *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
  1333. This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
  1334. =C-o= in tables.
  1335. ** New contributed packages
  1336. - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
  1337. export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
  1338. software.
  1339. - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
  1340. screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
  1341. ** Miscellaneous
  1342. *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
  1343. "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
  1344. starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
  1345. a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
  1346. the same with example blocks.
  1347. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
  1348. release.
  1349. * Version 8.0.1
  1350. ** Installation
  1351. Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
  1352. If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
  1353. instructions:
  1354. - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
  1355. =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
  1356. customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
  1357. - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
  1358. correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
  1359. only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
  1360. the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
  1361. detailed explanations.
  1362. - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
  1363. you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
  1364. function has been called already.
  1365. When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
  1366. installation.
  1367. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
  1368. ** Incompatible changes
  1369. Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
  1370. If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
  1371. If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
  1372. you will have to update them.
  1373. Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
  1374. See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
  1375. this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
  1376. **** New export engine
  1377. Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
  1378. export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
  1379. already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
  1380. /all/ export back-ends.
  1381. The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
  1382. keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
  1383. built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
  1384. directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
  1385. [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
  1386. More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
  1387. corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
  1388. If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
  1389. rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
  1390. option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
  1391. manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
  1392. **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
  1393. : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
  1394. should now be written
  1395. : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
  1396. Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
  1397. respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
  1398. each backend. See Org's manual for details.
  1399. **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
  1400. You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
  1401. Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
  1402. now fully removed.
  1403. Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
  1404. remember templates into capture templates.
  1405. **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
  1406. If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
  1407. will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
  1408. **** Note for third-party developers
  1409. The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
  1410. prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
  1411. files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
  1412. If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
  1413. code.
  1414. **** Packages moved from core to contrib
  1415. Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
  1416. to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
  1417. moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
  1418. The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
  1419. is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
  1420. included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
  1421. user-base.
  1422. - org-colview-xemacs.el
  1423. - org-mac-message.el
  1424. - org-mew.el
  1425. - org-wl.el
  1426. - ox-freedmind.el
  1427. - ox-taskjuggler.el
  1428. Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
  1429. ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
  1430. ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
  1431. Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
  1432. wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
  1433. ** New packages in core
  1434. *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
  1435. =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
  1436. *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1437. =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
  1438. *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
  1439. =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
  1440. vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
  1441. *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
  1442. =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
  1443. ** New packages in contrib
  1444. *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
  1445. [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
  1446. =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
  1447. code.
  1448. *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1449. [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
  1450. software, written entirely in the C programming language.
  1451. ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
  1452. entries.
  1453. *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1454. ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
  1455. *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
  1456. Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
  1457. Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
  1458. for starting headlines.
  1459. *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
  1460. ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
  1461. locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
  1462. the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
  1463. [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
  1464. *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
  1465. ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
  1466. *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
  1467. [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
  1468. presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  1469. using =deck.js=.
  1470. [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
  1471. presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  1472. using =s5=.
  1473. *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
  1474. The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
  1475. plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
  1476. output.
  1477. Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
  1478. conversion from Org files to groff.
  1479. *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
  1480. This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
  1481. *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
  1482. This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
  1483. with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
  1484. entirely with Org.
  1485. ** New features
  1486. *** Export
  1487. **** New export generic options
  1488. If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
  1489. it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
  1490. Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
  1491. - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
  1492. =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
  1493. You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
  1494. file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
  1495. - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
  1496. =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
  1497. now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
  1498. [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
  1499. new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
  1500. set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
  1501. standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
  1502. contains time-stamps.
  1503. To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
  1504. Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
  1505. the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
  1506. **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
  1507. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
  1508. **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
  1509. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
  1510. **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
  1511. **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
  1512. **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
  1513. *** Structure editing
  1514. **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
  1515. **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
  1516. [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
  1517. prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
  1518. **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
  1519. This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
  1520. would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
  1521. create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
  1522. an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
  1523. region.
  1524. **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
  1525. In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
  1526. _words__= will preserve markup.
  1527. **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
  1528. This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
  1529. is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
  1530. can slow down the flow of editing too much.
  1531. **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
  1532. These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
  1533. speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
  1534. **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
  1535. These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
  1536. now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
  1537. =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
  1538. forward and backward.
  1539. **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
  1540. **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
  1541. Now Org will sort this list
  1542. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  1543. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  1544. like this:
  1545. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  1546. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  1547. by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
  1548. Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
  1549. **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
  1550. For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
  1551. =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
  1552. states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
  1553. In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
  1554. local variable.
  1555. **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
  1556. The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
  1557. When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
  1558. time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
  1559. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
  1560. This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
  1561. restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
  1562. The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
  1563. restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
  1564. option to =nil=.
  1565. **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
  1566. When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
  1567. removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
  1568. information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
  1569. If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
  1570. TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
  1571. **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
  1572. This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
  1573. The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
  1574. fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
  1575. : #+attr_html: :width 300px
  1576. *** Scheduled/deadline
  1577. **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
  1578. If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
  1579. now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
  1580. task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
  1581. from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
  1582. Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
  1583. you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
  1584. display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
  1585. to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
  1586. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
  1587. occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
  1588. occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
  1589. and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
  1590. control this globally or per agenda.
  1591. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
  1592. See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
  1593. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
  1594. =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
  1595. *** Calendar, diary and appts
  1596. **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
  1597. By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
  1598. normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
  1599. the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
  1600. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1601. ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
  1602. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
  1603. ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
  1604. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
  1605. (kbd "@")
  1606. (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
  1607. #+END_SRC
  1608. **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
  1609. This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
  1610. appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
  1611. call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
  1612. **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
  1613. [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
  1614. in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
  1615. only show their description, not the full links.
  1616. *** Agenda
  1617. **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
  1618. When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
  1619. list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
  1620. want to build a list of appointments.
  1621. You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
  1622. each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
  1623. Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
  1624. : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
  1625. This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
  1626. time value (i.e. appointments).
  1627. **** New agenda sorting strategies
  1628. [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
  1629. | Strategy | Explanations |
  1630. |----------------+------------------------------------------|
  1631. | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
  1632. | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
  1633. | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
  1634. | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
  1635. | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
  1636. | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
  1637. | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
  1638. | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
  1639. | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
  1640. | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
  1641. **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
  1642. You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
  1643. different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
  1644. while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
  1645. These new options are available:
  1646. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
  1647. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
  1648. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
  1649. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
  1650. For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
  1651. view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
  1652. without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
  1653. When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
  1654. to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
  1655. no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
  1656. to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
  1657. show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
  1658. non-tagged headlines.
  1659. **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
  1660. You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
  1661. regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
  1662. example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
  1663. that take only =N= minutes.
  1664. **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
  1665. You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
  1666. == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
  1667. [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
  1668. **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
  1669. Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
  1670. filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
  1671. **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
  1672. You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
  1673. headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
  1674. This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
  1675. list of notes.
  1676. **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
  1677. It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
  1678. your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
  1679. =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
  1680. This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
  1681. change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
  1682. **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
  1683. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
  1684. to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
  1685. This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
  1686. **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
  1687. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
  1688. display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
  1689. outline tree.
  1690. **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
  1691. =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
  1692. overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
  1693. asks for a confirmation.
  1694. **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
  1695. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
  1696. the mark of the entry at point.
  1697. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
  1698. toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
  1699. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
  1700. This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
  1701. E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
  1702. level 1.
  1703. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
  1704. This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
  1705. options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
  1706. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
  1707. This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
  1708. entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
  1709. **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
  1710. The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
  1711. it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
  1712. [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
  1713. string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
  1714. **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  1715. When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
  1716. =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
  1717. repeated beyond the current deadline.
  1718. **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
  1719. This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
  1720. which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
  1721. prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
  1722. deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
  1723. Read the full docstring for details.
  1724. **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
  1725. For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
  1726. : * Task
  1727. : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
  1728. *** Capture
  1729. **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
  1730. With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
  1731. point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
  1732. capture template.
  1733. **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
  1734. If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
  1735. expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
  1736. **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
  1737. [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  1738. allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
  1739. be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
  1740. check against the name of the buffer.
  1741. *** Tag groups
  1742. Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
  1743. (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
  1744. headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
  1745. of those tags.)
  1746. You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
  1747. agenda views, and for filtering.
  1748. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
  1749. *** Links
  1750. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
  1751. Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
  1752. other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
  1753. through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
  1754. Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
  1755. as if the protocol was not known.
  1756. You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
  1757. **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
  1758. Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
  1759. Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
  1760. RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
  1761. active.
  1762. **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
  1763. =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
  1764. description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
  1765. with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
  1766. **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
  1767. When storing a link to a headline like
  1768. : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
  1769. [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
  1770. It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
  1771. there is no description.
  1772. *** Table
  1773. **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
  1774. If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
  1775. apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
  1776. those other formulas.
  1777. **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
  1778. If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
  1779. [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
  1780. mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
  1781. the end.
  1782. **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
  1783. If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
  1784. english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
  1785. internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
  1786. doing computation.
  1787. **** New lookup functions
  1788. There are now three lookup functions:
  1789. - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
  1790. - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
  1791. - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
  1792. See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
  1793. *** Startup keywords
  1794. These new startup keywords are now available:
  1795. | Startup keyword | Option |
  1796. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1797. | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
  1798. | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
  1799. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1800. | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
  1801. | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
  1802. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1803. | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
  1804. | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
  1805. *** Clocking
  1806. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
  1807. E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
  1808. clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
  1809. 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
  1810. your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
  1811. **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
  1812. When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
  1813. day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
  1814. for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
  1815. the clocktable.
  1816. See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
  1817. [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
  1818. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
  1819. This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
  1820. milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
  1821. **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
  1822. When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
  1823. option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
  1824. [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
  1825. **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
  1826. **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
  1827. **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
  1828. **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
  1829. **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
  1830. **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
  1831. **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
  1832. *** Babel
  1833. **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
  1834. This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
  1835. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
  1836. This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
  1837. same target than the block at point.
  1838. **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
  1839. When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
  1840. in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
  1841. file under the same directory than the base Org file.
  1842. When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
  1843. the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
  1844. time.
  1845. **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
  1846. This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
  1847. code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
  1848. manual for a usage example.
  1849. **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
  1850. If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
  1851. the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
  1852. collecting blocks for tangling.
  1853. **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
  1854. **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
  1855. Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
  1856. cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
  1857. **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
  1858. **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
  1859. When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
  1860. instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
  1861. *** Faces
  1862. - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
  1863. - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
  1864. - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
  1865. - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags
  1866. ** Miscellaneous
  1867. - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
  1868. - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
  1869. - [[doc:org-export-html-table-tag][org-export-html-table-tag]] is replaced by [[doc:org-html-table-default-attributes][org-html-table-default-attributes]]
  1870. - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
  1871. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  1872. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  1873. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  1874. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
  1875. - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
  1876. - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
  1877. - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
  1878. - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
  1879. - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
  1880. - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
  1881. - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
  1882. - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
  1883. - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
  1884. - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports OS X versions up to 10.8
  1885. - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
  1886. ** Outside Org
  1887. *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
  1888. David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
  1889. You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
  1890. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  1891. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  1892. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  1893. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  1894. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  1895. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  1896. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  1897. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  1898. found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  1899. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
  1900. - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
  1901. - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
  1902. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  1903. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  1904. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  1905. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  1906. * Version 7.9.3
  1907. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  1908. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  1909. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  1910. agenda views.)
  1911. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  1912. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  1913. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  1914. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  1915. agenda type to this variable.
  1916. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  1917. generation.
  1918. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  1919. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  1920. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  1921. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  1922. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  1923. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  1924. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  1925. invisible) blocked tasks.
  1926. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  1927. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  1928. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  1929. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  1930. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  1931. ** No GPL manual anymore
  1932. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  1933. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  1934. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  1935. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  1936. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  1937. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  1938. in most environments.
  1939. * Version 7.9.2
  1940. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  1941. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  1942. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1943. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  1944. #+END_SRC
  1945. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  1946. available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  1947. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  1948. directory.)
  1949. See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
  1950. ** Overview of the new keybindings

  1966. ** New package and Babel language
  1967. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  1968. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  1969. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  1970. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  1971. ** Incompatible changes
  1972. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  1973. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  1974. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  1975. instead.
  1976. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  1977. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  1978. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  1979. ** New features and user-visible changes
  1980. *** Org Element
  1981. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  1982. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  1983. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  1984. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  1985. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  1986. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  1987. See the docstrings for more details.
  1988. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  1989. on =org-element.el=.
  1990. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  1991. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  1992. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  1993. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  1994. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  1995. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  1996. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  1997. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  1998. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  1999. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  2000. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  2001. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  2002. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  2003. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  2004. elements.
  2005. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  2006. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  2007. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  2008. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  2009. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  2010. item. Etc.
  2011. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  2012. the whole list.
  2013. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  2014. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  2015. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  2016. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  2017. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  2018. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  2019. the same level.
  2020. *** Org Agenda
  2021. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  2022. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  2023. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  2024. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  2025. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  2026. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  2027. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  2028. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  2029. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  2030. generating new ones.
  2031. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  2032. agenda buffer.
  2033. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  2034. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  2035. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  2036. to this value
  2037. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2038. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  2039. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  2040. #+END_SRC
  2041. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  2042. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  2043. details on how to use this.
  2044. **** Changes in bulk actions
  2045. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  2046. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  2047. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  2048. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  2049. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  2050. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  2051. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  2052. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  2053. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  2054. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  2055. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  2056. =t=.
  2057. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  2058. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  2059. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  2060. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  2061. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  2062. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  2063. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  2064. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  2065. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  2066. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  2067. =f= or =w=).
  2068. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  2069. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  2070. of deadline.
  2071. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  2072. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  2073. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  2074. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  2075. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  2076. several times.
  2077. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  2078. See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  2079. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  2080. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  2081. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  2082. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  2083. filters and category filters.
  2084. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  2085. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  2086. configuration.
  2087. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  2088. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  2089. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  2090. point.
  2091. *** Org Links
  2092. **** Inserting links
  2093. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  2094. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  2095. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  2096. want to insert.
  2097. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  2098. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  2099. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  2100. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  2101. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  2102. highlighted.
  2103. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  2104. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  2105. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  2106. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  2107. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  2108. **** New link type =help=
  2109. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  2110. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  2111. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  2112. you go back to the same buffer.
  2113. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  2114. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  2115. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  2116. =org-stored-links=.
  2117. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  2118. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  2119. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  2120. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  2121. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  2122. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  2123. *** Org Editing
  2124. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  2125. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  2126. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  2127. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  2128. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  2129. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  2130. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  2131. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  2132. all headlines in the region.
  2133. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  2134. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  2135. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  2136. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  2137. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  2138. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  2139. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  2140. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  2141. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  2142. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  2143. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  2144. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  2145. undo RET=.
  2146. *** Org Clock
  2147. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  2148. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  2149. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  2150. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  2151. clocked entry, if any.
  2152. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  2153. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  2154. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  2155. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  2156. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  2157. out.
  2158. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  2159. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  2160. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  2161. arguments).
  2162. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  2163. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  2164. in.
  2165. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  2166. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  2167. cells in clockreport.
  2168. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  2169. time cells in clockreport.
  2170. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  2171. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  2172. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  2173. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  2174. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  2175. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  2176. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  2177. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  2178. space in the frame title.
  2179. *** Org Appearance
  2180. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  2181. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  2182. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  2183. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  2184. don't want to see temporarily.
  2185. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  2186. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  2187. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  2188. There are these new entities:
  2189. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  2190. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  2191. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  2192. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  2193. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  2194. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  2195. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  2196. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  2197. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  2198. The face is back to a normal height.
  2199. *** Org Columns
  2200. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  2201. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  2202. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  2203. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  2204. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  2205. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  2206. block will use its value as the column format.
  2207. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  2208. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  2209. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  2210. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  2211. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  2212. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  2213. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  2214. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  2215. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  2216. You can now use
  2217. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  2218. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  2219. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  2220. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  2221. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  2222. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  2223. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  2224. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  2225. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  2226. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  2227. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  2228. *** Org Capture
  2229. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  2230. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  2231. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  2232. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  2233. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  2234. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  2235. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  2236. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  2237. set to this value
  2238. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2239. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  2240. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  2241. #+END_SRC
  2242. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  2243. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  2244. more details on how to use this.
  2245. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  2246. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  2247. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  2248. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  2249. =nil=.
  2250. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  2251. See the manual for more explanations.
  2252. **** More control over empty lines
  2253. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  2254. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  2255. explanations.
  2256. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  2257. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  2258. *** Org Export
  2259. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  2260. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  2261. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  2262. available) to print beautiful tables.
  2263. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  2264. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  2265. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  2266. the table.
  2267. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  2268. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  2269. in the #+DATE option.
  2270. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  2271. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  2272. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  2273. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  2274. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  2275. More languages are always welcome.
  2276. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  2277. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  2278. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  2279. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  2280. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  2281. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  2282. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  2283. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  2284. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  2285. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  2286. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  2287. *** Org Babel
  2288. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  2289. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  2290. supported.
  2291. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  2292. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  2293. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  2294. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  2295. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  2296. It used to exports the results of the code.
  2297. *** Miscellaneous
  2298. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  2299. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  2300. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  2301. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  2302. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  2303. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  2304. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  2305. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  2306. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  2307. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  2308. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  2309. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  2310. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  2311. alarm.
  2312. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  2313. This will increment the effort value.
  2314. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  2315. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  2316. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  2317. attach symbolic links.
  2318. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  2319. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  2320. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  2321. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  2322. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  2323. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  2324. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  2325. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  2326. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  2327. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  2328. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  2329. all top level list items.
  2330. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  2331. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  2332. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  2333. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  2334. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  2335. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  2336. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  2337. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  2338. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  2339. first headline in the region.
  2340. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  2341. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  2342. agenda.
  2343. ** Important bug fixes
  2344. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  2345. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  2346. perform completion with meaningful values.
  2347. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  2348. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  2349. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  2350. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  2351. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  2352. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  2353. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  2354. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  2355. license.
  2356. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  2357. the code and the license to your needs.
  2358. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  2359. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  2360. * Version 7.8.11
  2361. ** Incompatible changes
  2362. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  2363. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  2364. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  2365. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  2366. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  2367. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  2368. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  2369. last-minute save.
  2370. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  2371. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  2372. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  2373. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  2374. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  2375. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  2376. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  2377. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  2378. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  2379. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  2380. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  2381. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  2382. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  2383. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  2384. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  2385. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  2386. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  2387. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  2388. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  2389. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  2390. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  2391. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  2392. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  2393. #+end_src
  2394. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  2395. setup./
  2396. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  2397. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  2398. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  2399. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  2400. The two new variables are:
  2401. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  2402. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  2403. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  2404. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  2405. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  2406. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  2407. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  2408. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  2409. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  2410. classes.
  2411. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  2412. document are:
  2413. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  2414. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  2415. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  2416. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  2417. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  2418. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  2419. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  2420. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  2421. #+begin_example
  2422. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  2423. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  2424. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  2425. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  2426. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  2427. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  2428. #+end_example
  2429. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  2430. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  2431. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  2432. applies to the following packages:
  2433. - inputenc
  2434. - fontenc
  2435. - fixltx2e
  2436. - graphicx
  2437. - longtable
  2438. - float
  2439. - wrapfig
  2440. - soul
  2441. - t1enc
  2442. - textcomp
  2443. - marvosym
  2444. - wasysym
  2445. - latexsym
  2446. - amssymb
  2447. - hyperref
  2448. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  2449. you are using, you can remove it from
  2450. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  2451. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  2452. properly.
  2453. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  2454. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  2455. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  2456. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  2457. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  2458. the header.
  2459. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  2460. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  2461. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  2462. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  2463. code using it.
  2464. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  2465. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  2466. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  2467. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  2468. ** Important new features
  2469. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  2470. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  2471. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  2472. for more information on how to customize it.
  2473. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  2474. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  2475. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  2476. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  2477. section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  2478. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  2479. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  2480. [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  2481. To switch over to the new system:
  2482. 1. Run
  2483. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  2484. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  2485. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  2486. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  2487. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  2488. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  2489. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  2490. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  2491. customization.
  2492. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  2493. with org-remember:
  2494. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  2495. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  2496. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  2497. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  2498. with using both system in parallel.
  2499. ** New libraries
  2500. *** New Org libraries
  2501. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  2502. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  2503. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  2504. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  2505. To use, put the following in your init file:
  2506. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  2507. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  2508. #+END_EXAMPLE
  2509. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  2510. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  2511. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  2512. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  2513. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  2514. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  2515. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  2516. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  2517. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  2518. anything.
  2519. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  2520. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  2521. He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  2522. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  2523. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  2524. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  2525. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  2526. /org-ctags.el/.
  2527. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  2528. call function to do something special with text links.
  2529. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  2530. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  2531. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  2532. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  2533. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  2534. Org-mode manual:
  2535. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  2536. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  2537. *** New Babel libraries
  2538. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  2539. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  2540. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  2541. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  2542. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  2543. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  2544. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  2545. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  2546. *** Hyperlinks
  2547. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  2548. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  2549. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  2550. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  2551. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  2552. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  2553. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  2554. The key new functions are
  2555. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  2556. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  2557. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  2558. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  2559. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  2560. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  2561. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  2562. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  2563. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  2564. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  2565. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  2566. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  2567. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  2568. **** Modified link escaping
  2569. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  2570. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  2571. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  2572. : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
  2573. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  2574. : link).
  2575. :
  2576. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  2577. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  2578. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  2579. : percent escaped links are solved.
  2580. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  2581. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  2582. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  2583. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  2584. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  2585. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  2586. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  2587. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  2588. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  2589. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  2590. string to be executed.
  2591. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  2592. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  2593. to org-file-apps:
  2594. #+begin_example
  2595. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  2596. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  2597. #+end_example
  2598. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  2599. *** Dates and time
  2600. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  2601. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  2602. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  2603. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  2604. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  2605. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  2606. will work on the current entry.
  2607. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  2608. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  2609. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  2610. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  2611. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  2612. #+begin_example
  2613. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  2614. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  2615. #+end_example
  2616. *** Agenda
  2617. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  2618. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  2619. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  2620. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  2621. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  2622. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  2623. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  2624. entries using a function.
  2625. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  2626. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  2627. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  2628. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  2629. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  2630. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  2631. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  2632. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  2633. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  2634. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  2635. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  2636. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  2637. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  2638. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  2639. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  2640. *** Exporting
  2641. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  2642. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  2643. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  2644. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  2645. docstring of these variable for details about available
  2646. %-sequences.
  2647. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  2648. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  2649. formatting string will insert a string.
  2650. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  2651. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  2652. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  2653. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  2654. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  2655. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  2656. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  2657. C-e u=, respectively.
  2658. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  2659. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  2660. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  2661. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  2662. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  2663. your preference.
  2664. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  2665. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  2666. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  2667. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  2668. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  2669. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  2670. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  2671. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  2672. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  2673. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  2674. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  2675. section]] in the manual for more details.
  2676. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  2677. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  2678. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  2679. individual could.
  2680. *** Refiling
  2681. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  2682. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  2683. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  2684. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  2685. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  2686. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  2687. **** New logging support for refiling
  2688. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  2689. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  2690. =org-log-refile=.
  2691. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  2692. *** Completion
  2693. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  2694. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  2695. *** Tables
  2696. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  2697. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  2698. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  2699. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  2700. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  2701. the displayed in the buffer.
  2702. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  2703. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  2704. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  2705. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  2706. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  2707. |--------+--------+---------|
  2708. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  2709. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  2710. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  2711. optional.
  2712. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  2713. feedback on this.
  2714. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  2715. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  2716. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  2717. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  2718. : things like
  2719. :
  2720. : @3=
  2721. : @2$2..@5$7=
  2722. : @I$2..@II$4=
  2723. :
  2724. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  2725. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  2726. : table.
  2727. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  2728. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  2729. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  2730. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  2731. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  2732. *** Lists
  2733. **** Improved handling of lists
  2734. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  2735. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  2736. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  2737. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  2738. indented than it.
  2739. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  2740. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  2741. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  2742. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  2743. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  2744. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  2745. `org-list-export-context'.
  2746. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  2747. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  2748. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  2749. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  2750. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  2751. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  2752. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  2753. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  2754. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  2755. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  2756. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  2757. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  2758. *** Inline display of linked images
  2759. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  2760. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  2761. that have no description part will be inlined.
  2762. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  2763. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  2764. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  2765. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  2766. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  2767. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  2768. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  2769. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  2770. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  2771. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  2772. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  2773. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  2774. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  2775. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  2776. tangling
  2777. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  2778. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  2779. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  2780. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  2781. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  2782. properties or in tables.
  2783. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  2784. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  2785. names, and rownames across all languages.
  2786. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  2787. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  2788. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  2789. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  2790. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  2791. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  2792. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  2793. request by Scott Otterson.
  2794. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  2795. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  2796. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  2797. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  2798. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  2799. superscripts, see the variable
  2800. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  2801. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  2802. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  2803. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  2804. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  2805. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  2806. following new faces:
  2807. =org-document-title=
  2808. =org-document-info=
  2809. =org-document-info-keyword=
  2810. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  2811. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  2812. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  2813. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  2814. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  2815. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  2816. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  2817. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  2818. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  2819. property is affected by this setting.
  2820. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  2821. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  2822. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  2823. Requested by Michael Brand.
  2824. **** Better level cycling function
  2825. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  2826. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  2827. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  2828. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  2829. **** Adaptive filling
  2830. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  2831. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  2832. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  2833. comments to be filled correctly.
  2834. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  2835. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  2836. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  2837. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  2838. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  2839. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  2840. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  2841. *** Clocking
  2842. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  2843. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  2844. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  2845. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  2846. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  2847. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  2848. **** Localized clock tables
  2849. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  2850. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  2851. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  2852. available translated strings.
  2853. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  2854. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  2855. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  2856. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  2857. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  2858. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  2859. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  2860. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  2861. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  2862. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  2863. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  2864. =nil=.
  2865. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  2866. *** Misc
  2867. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  2868. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  2869. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  2870. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  2871. **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  2872. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  2873. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  2874. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  2875. property) back.
  2876. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  2877. change.
  2878. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  2879. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  2880. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  2881. #+begin_example
  2882. org-table-get
  2883. org-table-put
  2884. org-table-current-line
  2885. org-table-goto-line
  2886. #+end_example
  2887. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  2888. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  2889. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  2890. node.
  2891. This was requested by Tom.
  2892. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  2893. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  2894. example by viewing from the agenda.
  2895. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
