  8. * Version 9.2
  9. ** Incompatible changes
  10. *** Change to Noweb expansion
  11. Expansion check =:noweb-ref= only if no matching named block is found
  12. in the buffer. As a consequence, any =:noweb-ref= value matching the
  13. name of a source block in the buffer is ignored. A simple fix is to
  14. give every concerned source-block, including the named one, a new,
  15. unique, Noweb reference.

  41. *** Change ~org-structure-template-alist~ value
  42. With the new template expansion mechanism (see
  43. [[*~org-insert-structure-template~]]), the variable changed its data type.
  44. See docstring for details.
  45. *** =align= STARTUP value no longer narrow table columns
  46. Columns narrowing (or shrinking) is now dynamic. See [[*Dynamically
  47. narrow table columns]] for details. In particular, it is decoupled from
  48. aligning.
  49. If you need to automatically shrink columns upon opening an Org
  50. document, use =shrink= value instead, or in addition to align:
  51. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  52. ,#+STARTUP: align shrink
  53. #+END_EXAMPLE
  54. ** New features
  55. *** Exclude unnumbered headlines from table of contents
  56. Set their =UNNUMBERED= property to the special =notoc= value. See
  57. manual for details.
  58. *** ~org-archive~ functions update status cookies
  59. Archiving headers through ~org-archive-subtree~ and
  60. ~org-archive-to-archive-sibling~ such as the ones listed below:
  61. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  62. ,* Top [1/2]
  63. ,** DONE Completed
  64. ,** TODO Working
  65. #+END_SRC
  66. Will update the status cookie in the top level header.
  67. *** Disable =org-agenda-overriding-header= by setting to empty string
  68. The ~org-agenda-overriding-header~ inserted into agenda views can now
  69. be disabled by setting it to an empty string.
  70. *** Dynamically narrow table columns
  71. With ~C-c TAB~, it is now possible to narrow a column to the width
  72. specified by a width cookie in the column, or to 1 character if there
  73. is no such cookie. The same keybinding expands a narrowed column to
  74. its previous state.
  75. Editing the column automatically expands the whole column to its full
  76. size.
  77. *** =org-columns-summary-types= entries can take an optional COLLECT function
  78. You can use this to make collection of a property from an entry
  79. conditional on another entry. E.g. given this configuration:
  80. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  81. (defun custom/org-collect-confirmed (property)
  82. "Return `PROPERTY' for `CONFIRMED' entries"
  83. (let ((prop (org-entry-get nil property))
  84. (confirmed (org-entry-get nil "CONFIRMED")))
  85. (if (and prop (string= "[X]" confirmed))
  86. prop
  87. "0")))
  88. (setq org-columns-summary-types
  89. '(("X+" org-columns--summary-sum
  90. custom/org-collect-confirmed)))
  91. #+END_SRC
  92. You can have a file =bananas.org= containing:
  93. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  94. ,#+columns: %ITEM %CONFIRMED %Bananas{+} %Bananas(Confirmed Bananas){X+}
  95. ,* All shipments
  96. ,** Shipment 1
  97. :PROPERTIES:
  98. :CONFIRMED: [X]
  99. :Bananas: 4
  100. :END:
  101. ,** Shipment 2
  102. :PROPERTIES:
  103. :CONFIRMED: [ ]
  104. :BANANAS: 7
  105. :END:
  106. #+END_SRC
  107. ... and when going to the top of that file and entering column view
  108. you should expect to see something like:
  109. | ITEM | CONFIRMED | Bananas | Confirmed Bananas |
  110. |-----------------+-----------+---------+-------------------|
  111. | All shipments | | 11 | 4 |
  112. | Shipment 1 | [X] | 4 | 4 |
  113. | Shipment 2 | [ ] | 7 | 7 |
  114. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  115. ,#+STARTUP: shrink
  116. #+END_EXAMPLE
  117. ** New functions
  118. *** ~org-insert-structure-template~
  119. This function can be used to wrap existing text of Org elements in
  120. a #+BEGIN_FOO/#+END_FOO block. Bound to C-c C-x w by default.
  121. *** ~org-export-excluded-from-toc-p~
  122. See docstring for details.
  123. ** Removed functions
  124. *** ~org-try-structure-completion~
  125. ** Removed variables
  126. *** org-babel-use-quick-and-dirty-noweb-expansion
  127. ** Miscellaneous
  128. *** ~org-publish-resolve-external-link~ accepts a new optional argument.
  129. *** ~org-irc.el~ now supports exporting =irc:= links properly
  130. Previously, irc links were exported by ~ox-md~ and ~ox-html~ as normal
  131. file links, which lead to them being broken in web browsers. Now both
  132. of these exporters will properly export to =irc:= links, which will
  133. open properly in irc clients from web browsers.
  134. * Version 9.1
  135. ** Incompatible changes
  136. *** Variables relative to clocksum duration are obsolete
  137. ~org-time-clocksum-format~, ~org-time-clocksum-use-fractional~ and
  138. ~org-time-clocksum-fractional-format~ are obsolete. If you changed
  139. them, consider modifying ~org-duration-format~ instead.
  140. Variable ~org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations~ is also obsolete.
  141. Consider setting ~org-duration-units~ instead.
  142. *** ~org-at-timestamp-p~ optional argument accepts different values
  143. See docstrings for the allowed values. For backward compatibility,
  144. ~(org-at-timestamp-p t)~ is still supported, but should be updated
  145. accordingly.
  146. *** ~org-capture-templates~ no longer accepts S-expressions as file names
  147. Since functions are allowed there, a straightforward way to migrate
  148. is to turn, e.g.,
  149. : (file (sexp))
  150. into
  151. : (file (lambda () (sexp)))
  152. *** Deleted contributed packages
  153. =org-ebib.el, =org-bullets.el= and =org-mime.el= have been deleted
  154. from the contrib/ directory.
  155. You can now find them here :
  156. - https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib
  157. - https://github.com/sabof/org-bullets
  158. - https://github.com/org-mime/org-mime
  159. *** Change ~org-texinfo-classes~ value
  160. The value cannot support functions to create sectioning commands
  161. anymore. Also, the sectioning commands should include commands for
  162. appendices. See the docstring for more information.
  163. *** Removal of ~:sitemap-sans-extension~
  164. The publishing property is no longer recognized, as a consequence of
  165. changes to site-map generation.
  166. You can get the same functionality by setting ~:sitemap-format-entry~
  167. to the following
  168. #+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  169. (lambda (entry style project)
  170. (cond ((not (directory-name-p entry))
  171. (format "[[file:%s][%s]]"
  172. (file-name-sans-extension entry)
  173. (org-publish-find-title entry project)))
  174. ((eq style 'tree) (file-name-nondirectory (directory-file-name entry)))
  175. (t entry)))
  176. #+END_SRC
  177. *** Change signature for ~:sitemap-function~
  178. ~:sitemap-function~ now expects to be called with two arguments. See
  179. ~org-publish-project-alist~ for details.
  180. *** Change signature for some properties in ~org-list-to-generic~
  181. ~:istart~, ~:icount~, ~:iend~ and ~:isep~ now expect the type of the
  182. list as their first argument.
  183. *** Change signature for ~org-get-repeater~
  184. The optional argument is now a string to extract the repeater from.
  185. See docstring for details.
  186. *** Change signature for ~org-time-string-to-time~
  187. See docstring for changes.
  188. *** Change order of items in ~org-agenda-time-grid~
  189. ~org-agenda-time-grid~ gained an extra item to allow users to customize
  190. the string displayed after times in the agenda. See docstring for
  191. details.
  192. *** ~tags-todo~ custom searches now include DONE keywords
  193. Use "/!" markup when filtering TODO keywords to get only not-done TODO
  194. keywords.
  195. *** ~org-split-string~ returns ~("")~ when called on an empty string
  196. It used to return nil.
  197. *** Removal of =ob-scala.el=
  198. See [[https://github.com/ensime/emacs-scala-mode/issues/114][this github issue]].
  199. You can use =ob-scala.el= as packaged in scala-mode, available from the
  200. MELPA repository.
  201. ** New features
  202. *** iCalendar export uses inheritance for TIMEZONE and LOCATION properties
  203. Both these properties can be inherited during iCalendar export,
  204. depending on the value of ~org-use-property-inheritance~.
  205. *** iCalendar export respects a TIMEZONE property
  206. Set the TIMEZONE property on an entry to specify a time zone for that
  207. entry only during iCalendar export. The property value should be
  208. specified as in "Europe/London".
  209. *** ~org-attach~ can move directory contents
  210. When setting a new directory for an entry, org-attach offers to move
  211. files over from the old directory. Using a prefix arg will reset the
  212. directory to old, ID based one.
  213. *** New Org duration library
  214. This new library implements tools to read and print time durations in
  215. various formats (e.g., "H:MM", or "1d 2h 3min"...).
  216. See ~org-duration-to-minutes~ and ~org-duration-from-minutes~
  217. docstrings.
  218. *** Agenda
  219. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~
  220. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~
  221. **** New variable : ~org-deadline-past-days~
  222. See docstring for details.
  223. **** Binding C-c C-x < for ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  224. **** New auto-align default setting for =org-agenda-tags-column=
  225. =org-agenda-tags-column= can now be set to =auto=, which will
  226. automatically align tags to the right edge of the window. This is now
  227. the default setting.
  228. *** New value for ~org-publish-sitemap-sort-folders~
  229. The new ~ignore~ value effectively allows toggling inclusion of
  230. directories in published site-maps.
  231. *** Babel
  232. **** Scheme: support for tables
  233. **** Scheme: new variable: ~org-babel-scheme-null-to~
  234. This new custom option allows to use a empty list or null symbol to
  235. format the table output, initially assigned to ~hlines~.
  236. **** Scheme: new header ~:prologue~
  237. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  238. developers to prepend code to the scheme block being processed.
  239. Multiple ~:prologue~ headers can be added each of them using a string
  240. with the content to be added.
  241. The scheme blocks are prepared by surrounding the code in the block
  242. with a let form. The content of the ~:prologue~ headers are prepended
  243. before this let form.
  244. **** Support for hledger accounting reports added
  245. **** Clojure: new setting ~org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout~
  246. Creation of a new setting to specify the Cider timeout. By setting
  247. the =org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout= setting option. The value
  248. is in seconds and if set to =nil= then no timeout will occur.
  249. **** Clojure: new header ~:show-process~
  250. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  251. developers to output the process of an ongoing process into a new
  252. window/buffer.
  253. You can tell Org Babel to output the process of a running code block.
  254. To show that output you only have to specify the =:show-process=
  255. option in the code block's header like this:
  256. #+begin_example
  257. ,#+BEGIN_SRC clojure :results output :show-process t
  258. (dotimes [n 10]
  259. (println n ".")
  260. (Thread/sleep 500))
  261. ,#+END_SRC
  262. #+end_example
  263. If =:show-process= is specified that way, then when you will run the
  264. code using =C-c C-c= a new window will open in Emacs. Everything that
  265. is output by the REPL will immediately be added to that new window.
  266. When the processing of the code is finished, then the window and its
  267. buffer will be closed and the results will be reported in the
  268. =#+RESULTS= section.
  269. Note that the =:results= parameter's behavior is *not* changed. If
  270. =silent= is specified, then no result will be displayed. If =output=
  271. is specified then all the output from the window will appears in the
  272. results section. If =value= is specified, then only the last returned
  273. value of the code will be displayed in the results section.
  274. **** Maxima: new headers ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~
  275. Babel options ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~ have been implemented for
  276. Maxima src blocks which prepend and append, respectively, the given
  277. code strings. This can be useful for specifying formatting settings
  278. which would add clutter to exported code. For instance, you can use
  279. this ~:prologue "fpprintprec: 2; linel: 50;"~ for presenting Maxima
  280. results in a beamer presentation.
  281. **** PlantUML: add support for header arguments
  282. [[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
  283. [[http://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] header arguments.
  284. **** SQL: new engine added ~sqsh~
  285. A new engine was added to support ~sqsh~ command line utility for use
  286. against Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase SQL server.
  287. More information on ~sqsh~ can be found here: [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/sqsh/][sourceforge/sqsh]]
  288. To use ~sqsh~ in an *sql* =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  289. #+begin_example
  290. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine sqsh :dbhost my_host :dbuser master :dbpassword pass :database support
  291. Select * From Users
  292. Where clue > 0
  293. ,#+END_SRC
  294. #+end_example
  295. **** SQL: new engine added =vertica=
  296. A new engine was added to support vsql command line utility for use
  297. against HP Vertica.
  298. 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]]
  299. To use =vertica= in an sql =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  300. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  301. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine vertica :dbhost my_host :dbuser dbadmin :dbpassword pw :database vmart
  302. SELECT * FROM nodes;
  303. ,#+END_SRC
  304. #+END_EXAMPLE
  305. **** C++: New header ~:namespaces~
  306. The new ~:namespaces~ export option can be used to specify namespaces
  307. to be used within a C++ org source block. Its usage is similar to
  308. ~:includes~, in that it can accept multiple, space-separated
  309. namespaces to use. This header is equivalent to adding ~using
  310. namespace <name>;~ in the source block. Here is a "Hello World" in C++
  311. using ~:namespaces~:
  312. #+begin_example
  313. ,#+BEGIN_SRC C++ :results output :namespaces std :includes <iostream>
  314. cout << "Hello World" << endl;
  315. ,#+END_SRC
  316. #+end_example
  317. **** Support for Vala language
  318. [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala][Vala]] language blocks support two special header arguments:
  319. - ~:flags~ passes arguments to the compiler
  320. - ~:cmdline~ passes commandline arguments to the generated executable
  321. 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~]]
  322. support because Vala is a compiled language.
  323. The Vala compiler binary can be changed via the ~defcustom~
  324. ~org-babel-vala-compiler~.
  325. *** New ~function~ scope argument for the Clock Table
  326. Added a nullary function that returns a list of files as a possible
  327. argument for the scope of the clock table.
  328. *** Export
  329. **** Implement vernacular table of contents in Markdown exporter
  330. Global table of contents are generated using vanilla Markdown syntax
  331. instead of HTML. Also #+TOC keyword, including local table of
  332. contents, are now supported.
  333. **** Add Slovenian translations
  334. **** Implement ~org-export-insert-image-links~
  335. This new function is meant to be used in back-ends supporting images
  336. as descriptions of links, a.k.a. image links. See its docstring for
  337. details.
  338. **** New macro : ~{{{n}}}~
  339. This macro creates and increment multiple counters in a document. See
  340. manual for details.
  341. **** Add global macros through ~org-export-global-macros~
  342. With this variable, one can define macros available for all documents.
  343. **** New keyword ~#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME~
  344. Similarly to ~:EXPORT_FILE_NAME:~ property, this keyword allows the
  345. user to specify the name of the output file upon exporting the
  346. document. This also has an effect on publishing.
  347. **** Horizontal rules are no longer ignored in LaTeX table math mode
  348. **** Use ~compilation-mode~ for compilation output
  349. **** Plain lists accept a new ~:separator~ attribute in Texinfo
  350. The new ~:separator~ attribute splits a tag from a description list
  351. item into multiple parts. This allows to have two-column tables with
  352. multiple entries in the first column. See manual for more details.
  353. **** ~latex-environment~ elements support ~caption~ keywords for LaTeX export
  354. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit LaTeX environments
  355. Using ~C-c '~ on a LaTeX environment opens a sub-editing buffer. By
  356. default, major mode in that buffer is ~latex-mode~, but it can be
  357. changed by configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~.
  358. *** ~org-list-to-generic~ includes a new property: ~:ifmt~
  359. ~:ifmt~ is a function to be called on the body of each item. See
  360. ~org-list-to-generic~ documentation for details.
  361. *** New variable : ~org-bibtex-headline-format-function~
  362. This allow to use a different title than entry title.
  363. *** ~org-attach~ supports attaching files from URLs
  364. Using ~C-c C-a u~ prompts for a URL pointing to a file to be attached
  365. to the document.
  366. *** New option for ~org-refile-use-outline-path~
  367. ~org-refile-use-outline-path~ now supports the setting ~buffer-name~,
  368. which causes refile targets to be prefixed with the buffer’s
  369. name. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with
  370. ~uniquify.el~.
  371. *** ~org-file-contents~ now allows the FILE argument to be a URL.
  372. This allows ~#+SETUPFILE:~ to accept a URL instead of a local file
  373. path. The URL contents are auto-downloaded and saved to a temporary
  374. cache ~org--file-cache~. A new optional argument ~NOCACHE~ is added
  375. to ~org-file-contents~.
  376. *** ~org-mode-restart~ now resets the newly added ~org--file-cache~.
  377. Using ~C-c C-c~ on any keyword (like ~#+SETUPFILE~) will reset the
  378. that file cache.
  379. *** New option : ~org-table-duration-hour-zero-padding~
  380. This variable allow computed durations in tables to be zero-padded.
  381. *** New mode switch for table formulas : =U=
  382. This mode omits seconds in durations.
  383. ** Removed functions
  384. *** Org Timeline
  385. This feature has been removed. Use a custom agenda view, possibly
  386. narrowed to current buffer to achieve a similar functionality.
  387. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  388. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  389. *** ~org-agenda-skip-subtree-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  390. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  391. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches-in-subtree~ is obsolete
  392. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  393. *** ~org-minutes-to-clocksum-string~ is obsolete
  394. Use ~org-duration-from-minutes~ instead.
  395. *** ~org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  396. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  397. *** ~org-duration-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  398. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  399. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-cached-article-number~ is removed.
  400. This function relied on ~nnimap-group-overview-filename~, which was
  401. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  402. ** Removed options
  403. *** ~org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all~ is removed.
  404. For an equivalent to a ~nil~ value, set
  405. ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~ to nil and
  406. ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~ to ~t~.
  407. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-query-article-no-from-file~ is removed.
  408. This variable has no effect, as it was relying on a function that was
  409. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  410. *** ~org-usenet-links-prefer-google~ is obsolete.
  411. Use ~org-gnus-prefer-web-links~ instead.
  412. *** ~org-publish-sitemap-file-entry-format~ is deprecated
  413. One can provide new ~:sitemap-format-entry~ property for a function
  414. equivalent to the removed format string.
  415. *** ~org-enable-table-editor~ is removed.
  416. Setting it to a ~nil~ value broke some other features (e.g., speed
  417. keys).
  418. *** ~org-export-use-babel~ cannot be set to ~inline-only~
  419. The variable is now a boolean.
  420. *** ~org-texinfo-def-table-markup~ is obsolete
  421. Use ~org-texinfo-table-default-markup~ instead.
  422. ** New functions
  423. *** ~org-publish-find-property~
  424. This function can be used as a tool to format entries in a site-map,
  425. in addition to ~org-publish-find-title~ and ~org-publish-find-date~.
  426. *** ~org-list-to-org~
  427. It is the reciprocal of ~org-list-to-lisp~, which see.
  428. *** ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  429. Call ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock~ from the agenda.
  430. ** Miscellaneous
  431. *** The Library of Babel now on Worg
  432. The library-of-babel.org used to be accessible from the =doc/=
  433. directory, distributed with Org’s core. It is now accessible
  434. from the Worg community-driven documentation [[http://orgmode.org/worg/library-of-babel.html][here]].
  435. If you want to contribute to it, please see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html][how to contribute]].
  436. *** Allow multiple columns view
  437. Columns view is not limited to a single buffer anymore.
  438. *** Org Attach obeys ~dired-dwim-target~
  439. When a Dired buffer is opened next to the Org document being edited,
  440. the prompt for file to attach can start in the Dired buffer's
  441. directory if `dired-dwim-target' in non-nil.
  442. *** ~org-fill-paragraph~ can now fill a whole region
  443. *** More specific anniversary descriptions
  444. Anniversary descriptions (used in the agenda view, for instance)
  445. include the point in time, when the anniversary appears. This is,
  446. in its most general form, just the date of the anniversary. Or
  447. more specific terms, like "today", "tomorrow" or "in n days" are
  448. used to describe the time span.
  449. This feature allows to automatically change the description of an
  450. anniversary, depending on if it occurs in the next few days or
  451. far away in the future.
  452. *** Computed dates in tables appear as inactive time stamps
  453. *** Save point before opening a file with an unknown search option
  454. When following a file link with a search option (e.g., =::#custom-id=)
  455. that doesn't exist in the target file, save position before raising an
  456. error. As a consequence, it is possible to jump back to the original
  457. document with ~org-mark-ring-goto~ (default binding =C-c &=).
  458. *** ~org-get-heading~ accepts two more optional arguments
  459. See docstring for details.
  460. *** New option ~org-babel-uppercase-example-markers~
  461. This variable is a ~defcustom~ and replaces the variable
  462. ~org-babel-capitalize-example-region-markers~, which is a ~defvar~ and
  463. is now obsolete.
  464. *** =INCLUDE= keywords in commented trees are now ignored.
  465. *** Default value for ~org-texinfo-text-markup-alist~ changed.
  466. Now ~=...=~ markup uses ~@samp{}~ instead of ~@verb{}~. You can use
  467. ~@verb{}~ again by customizing the variable.
  468. *** Texinfo exports example blocks as ~@example~
  469. *** Texinfo exports inline src blocks as ~@code{}~
  470. *** Texinfo default table markup is ~@asis~
  471. It used to be ~@samp~ but ~@asis~ is neutral and, therefore, more
  472. suitable as a default value.
  473. *** Texinfo default process includes ~--no-split~ option
  474. *** New entities : ~\dollar~ and ~\USD~
  475. *** ~org-parse-time-string~ accepts a new optional argument
  476. =ZONE= specifies the current time zone.
  477. *** ~org-time-string-to-seconds~ now accepts an optional =ZONE= argument
  478. *** Support for date style URLs in =org-protocol://open-source=
  479. URLs like =https://cool-blog.com/2017/05/20/cool-post/= are
  480. covered by rewrite rules.
  481. *** Add (C) =COMMENT= support to ~org-structure-template-alist~
  482. * Version 9.0
  483. ** Incompatible changes
  484. *** Emacs 23 support has been dropped
  485. From now on, Org expects at least Emacs 24.3, although Emacs 24.4 or
  486. above is suggested.
  487. *** XEmacs support has been dropped
  488. Incomplete compatibility layer with XEmacs has been removed. If you
  489. want to take over maintenance of this compatibility, please contact
  490. our mailing list.
  491. *** New syntax for export blocks
  492. Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
  493. disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
  494. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  495. ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
  496. ...
  497. ,#+END_EXPORT
  498. #+END_SRC
  499. instead of
  500. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  501. ,#+BEGIN_backend
  502. ...
  503. ,#+END_backend
  504. #+END_SRC
  505. As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
  506. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  507. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
  508. #+END_SRC
  509. becomes
  510. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  511. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
  512. #+END_SRC
  513. The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
  514. using previous syntax:
  515. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  516. (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
  517. "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
  518. (interactive)
  519. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  520. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  521. (back-end-re (regexp-opt
  522. '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
  523. "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
  524. t)))
  525. (org-with-wide-buffer
  526. (goto-char (point-min))
  527. (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
  528. (save-excursion
  529. (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
  530. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  531. (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
  532. (save-excursion
  533. (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
  534. (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
  535. (forward-char)
  536. (insert "EXPORT")
  537. (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
  538. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
  539. (let ((include-re
  540. (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
  541. (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
  542. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  543. (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
  544. (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
  545. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
  546. #+END_SRC
  547. Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~ and
  548. ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to be
  549. removed.
  550. *** Footnotes
  551. **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
  552. Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
  553. it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
  554. constructs are now unsupported.
  555. If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them into
  556. =[fn:N]=.
  557. **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
  558. Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
  559. something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
  560. consider using the =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
  561. In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
  562. exists.
  563. *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
  564. The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
  565. S-expressions. Replacing an S-expression with an appropriate function
  566. is straightforward. For example
  567. : ("pdf" . (foo))
  568. becomes
  569. : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
  570. *** The ~{{{modification-time}}}~ macro can get time via =vc=
  571. The modification time will be determined via =vc.el= if the second
  572. argument is non-nil. See the manual for details.
  573. *** Preparation and completion functions in publishing projects change signature
  574. Preparation and completion functions are now called with an argument,
  575. which is the project property list. It used to be dynamically scoped
  576. through the ~project-plist~ variable.
  577. *** Old Babel header properties are no longer supported
  578. Using header arguments as property names is no longer possible. As
  579. such, the following
  580. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  581. ,* Headline
  582. :PROPERTIES:
  583. :exports: code
  584. :var: a=1 b=2
  585. :var+: c=3
  586. :END:
  587. #+END_EXAMPLE
  588. should be written instead
  589. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  590. ,* Headline
  591. :PROPERTIES:
  592. :header-args: :exports code
  593. :header-args+: :var a=1 b=2
  594. :header-args+: :var c=3
  595. :END:
  596. #+END_EXAMPLE
  597. Please note that, however, old properties were defined at the source
  598. block definition. Current ones are defined where the block is called.
  599. ** New features
  600. *** ~org-eww~ has been moved into core
  601. *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
  602. Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
  603. #+begin_example
  604. org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
  605. org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
  606. #+end_example
  607. Old-style links such as
  608. : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
  609. continue to be supported.
  610. If you have defined your own handler functions for
  611. ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
  612. list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
  613. ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into property
  614. lists.
  615. *** New Org linter library
  616. ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
  617. *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
  618. When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
  619. entries are added to last in the date tree.
  620. *** New ~vbar~ entity
  621. ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionally as a =|=,
  622. unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~&vert;~ when using
  623. a HTML derived export back-end.
  624. *** Export
  625. **** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
  626. PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
  627. details.
  628. **** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
  629. This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
  630. a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
  631. **** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
  632. Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
  633. string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
  634. position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
  635. for more details.
  636. **** New Texinfo ~options~ attribute on special blocks
  637. Using ~:options~ as a Texinfo attribute, it is possible to add
  638. information to custom environments. See manual for details.
  639. **** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
  640. If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
  641. will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
  642. enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
  643. ~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
  644. **** Listings with captions are now numbered in HTML export
  645. The class associated to the numbering is "listing-number". If you
  646. don't want these blocks to be numbered, as it was the case until now,
  647. You may want to add ~.listing-number { display: none; }~ to the CSS
  648. used.
  649. **** Line Numbering in SRC/EXAMPLE blocks support arbitrary start number
  650. The ~-n~ option to ~SRC~ and ~EXAMPLE~ blocks can now take a numeric
  651. argument to specify the staring line number for the source or example
  652. block. The ~+n~ option can now take a numeric argument that will be
  653. added to the last line number from the previous block as the starting
  654. point for the SRC/EXAMPLE block.
  655. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  656. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp -n 20
  657. ;; this will export with line number 20
  658. (message "This is line 21")
  659. ,#+END_SRC
  660. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp +n 10
  661. ;; This will be listed as line 31
  662. (message "This is line 32")
  663. ,#+END_SRC
  664. #+END_SRC
  665. **** Allow toggling center for images in LaTeX export
  666. With the global variable ~org-latex-images-centered~ or the local
  667. attribute ~:center~ it is now possible to center an image in LaTeX
  668. export.
  669. **** Default CSS class ~org-svg~ for SVG images in HTML export
  670. SVG images exported in HTML are now by default assigned a CSS class
  671. ~org-svg~ if no CSS class is specified with the ~:class~ attribute. By
  672. default, the CSS styling of class ~org-svg~ specifies an image width of
  673. 90\thinsp{}% of the container the image.
  674. **** Markdown footnote export customization
  675. Variables ~org-md-footnotes-section~ and ~org-md-footnote-format~
  676. introduced for =ox-md.el=. Both new variables define template strings
  677. which can be used to customize the format of the exported footnotes
  678. section and individual footnotes, respectively.
  679. *** Babel
  680. **** Blocks with coderefs labels can now be evaluated
  681. The labels are removed prior to evaluating the block.
  682. **** Support for Lua language
  683. **** Support for SLY in Lisp blocks
  684. See ~org-babel-lisp-eval-fn~ to activate it.
  685. **** Support for Stan language
  686. New ob-stan.el library.
  687. Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
  688. 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
  689. This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
  690. allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
  691. 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
  692. This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
  693. ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
  694. that does not end in ".stan".
  695. For more information and usage examples, visit
  696. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
  697. **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
  698. =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
  699. database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
  700. mandatory):
  701. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  702. :engine oracle
  703. :dbhost <host.com>
  704. :dbport <1521>
  705. :dbuser <username>
  706. :database <database>
  707. :dbpassword <secret>
  708. #+END_EXAMPLE
  709. **** Improved support to Microsoft SQL Server via ~sqlcmd~
  710. =ob-sql= library removes support to the ~msosql~ engine which uses the
  711. deprecated ~osql~ command line tool, and replaces it with ~mssql~
  712. engine which uses the ~sqlcmd~ command line tool. Use with properties
  713. like this:
  714. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  715. :engine mssql
  716. :dbhost <host.com>
  717. :dbuser <username>
  718. :dbpassword <secret>
  719. :database <database>
  720. #+END_EXAMPLE
  721. If you want to use the *trusted connection* feature, omit *both* the
  722. =dbuser= and =dbpassword= properties and add =cmdline -E= to the properties.
  723. If your Emacs is running in a Cygwin environment, the =ob-sql= library
  724. can pass the converted path to the =sqlcmd= tool.
  725. **** Improved support of header arguments for postgresql
  726. The postgresql engine in a sql code block supports now ~:dbport~ nd
  727. ~:dbpassword~ as header arguments.
  728. **** Support for additional plantuml output formats
  729. The support for output formats of [[http://plantuml.com/][plantuml]] has been extended to now
  730. include:
  731. All Diagrams:
  732. - png ::
  733. - svg ::
  734. - eps ::
  735. - pdf ::
  736. - vdx ::
  737. - txt :: ASCII art
  738. - utxt :: ASCII art using unicode characters
  739. Class Diagrams:
  740. - xmi ::
  741. - html ::
  742. State Diagrams:
  743. - scxml ::
  744. The output formats are determined by the file extension specified
  745. using the :file property, e.g.:
  746. #+begin_src plantuml :file diagram.png
  747. @startuml
  748. Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
  749. Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
  750. Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
  751. Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
  752. @enduml
  753. #+end_src
  754. Please note that *pdf* *does not work out of the box* and needs additional
  755. setup in addition to plantuml. See [[http://plantuml.com/pdf.html]] for
  756. details and setup information.
  757. *** Rewrite of radio lists
  758. Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
  759. rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
  760. parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
  761. for details.
  762. *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
  763. Used like ~org-bbdb-anniversaries~, it provides a few days warning for
  764. upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
  765. *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
  766. If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
  767. information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
  768. See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
  769. *** Support for ISO week trees
  770. ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
  771. by ISO week and not by month.
  772. For example:
  773. : * 2015
  774. : ** 2015-W35
  775. : ** 2015-W36
  776. : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
  777. They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
  778. ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
  779. *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
  780. When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
  781. an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
  782. On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
  783. *** Columns view
  784. **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
  785. When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
  786. buffer unconditionally.
  787. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
  788. The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
  789. **** Allow custom summaries
  790. It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
  791. provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
  792. **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
  793. Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
  794. types.
  795. *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
  796. *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
  797. When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
  798. a git repository.
  799. *** Allow conditional case-fold searches in ~org-occur~
  800. When set to ~smart~, the new variable ~org-occur-case-fold-search~ allows
  801. to mimic =isearch.el=: if the regexp searched contains any upper case
  802. character (or character class), the search is case sensitive.
  803. Otherwise, it is case insensitive.
  804. *** More robust repeated =ox-latex= footnote handling
  805. Repeated footnotes are now numbered by referring to a label in the
  806. first footnote.
  807. *** The ~org-block~ face is inherited by ~src-blocks~
  808. This works also when =org-src-fontify-natively= is non-nil. It is also
  809. possible to specify per-languages faces. See =org-src-block-faces= and
  810. the manual for details.
  811. *** Links are now customizable
  812. Links can now have custom colors, tooltips, keymaps, display behavior,
  813. etc. Links are now centralized in ~org-link-parameters~.
  814. ** New functions
  815. *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
  816. It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
  817. *** ~org-show-children~
  818. It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
  819. ** Removed functions
  820. *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
  821. Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
  822. *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
  823. Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
  824. *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
  825. Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
  826. *** ~org-babel-trim~ is deprecated.
  827. Use ~org-trim~ instead.
  828. *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
  829. Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
  830. *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
  831. Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
  832. The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
  833. *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
  834. Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
  835. *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
  836. A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
  837. now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
  838. *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
  839. Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
  840. *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
  841. It was not called by any org code since 2010.
  842. *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
  843. The affected functions are:
  844. - ~org-count~
  845. - ~org-remove-if~
  846. - ~org-remove-if-not~
  847. - ~org-reduce~
  848. - ~org-every~
  849. - ~org-some~
  850. Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
  851. the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
  852. end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
  853. ** Removed options
  854. *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
  855. This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
  856. Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
  857. let those libraries operate.
  858. *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
  859. Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
  860. plain list.
  861. *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  862. fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
  863. ** Miscellaneous
  864. *** Add Icelandic smart quotes
  865. *** Allow multiple receiver locations in radio tables and lists
  866. *** Allow angular links within link descriptions
  867. It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
  868. ~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
  869. ~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
  870. is that spaces are allowed within the path.
  871. *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  872. *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
  873. Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
  874. current project. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
  875. Org files.
  876. *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
  877. The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
  878. indentation.
  879. *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
  880. Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
  881. However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
  882. the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
  883. placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
  884. very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
  885. Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
  886. template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
  887. expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
  888. another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
  889. *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
  890. Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
  891. to the article's original group.
  892. *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
  893. The calling convention has changed.
  894. *** HTML export table row customization changes
  895. Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
  896. ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
  897. Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
  898. called with 6 parameters.
  899. *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
  900. *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
  901. The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
  902. *** ~org-trim~ can preserve leading indentation.
  903. When setting a new optional argument to a non-nil value, ~org-trim~
  904. preserves leading indentation while removing blank lines at the
  905. beginning of the string. The behavior is identical for white space at
  906. the end of the string.
  907. *** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
  908. HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
  909. than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
  910. Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
  911. : <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  912. where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
  913. For most folks this file does not exist.
  914. Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
  915. : <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  916. All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other
  917. =gnu.org= manuals.
  918. *** Repeaters with a ~++~ interval and a time can be shifted to later today
  919. Previously, if a recurring task had a timestamp of
  920. ~<2016-01-01 Fri 20:00 ++1d>~ and was completed on =2016-01-02= at
  921. =08:00=, the task would skip =2016-01-02= and would be rescheduled for
  922. =2016-01-03=. Timestamps with ~++~ cookies and a specific time will
  923. now shift to the first possible future occurrence, even if the
  924. occurrence is later the same day the task is completed. (Timestamps
  925. already in the future are still shifted one time further into the
  926. future.)
  927. *** ~org-mobile-action-alist~ is now a defconst
  928. It used to be a defcustom, with a warning that it shouldn't be
  929. modified anyway.
  930. *** ~file+emacs~ and ~file+sys~ link types are deprecated
  931. They are still supported in Org 9.0 but will eventually be removed in
  932. a later release. Use ~file~ link type along with universal arguments
  933. to force opening it in either Emacs or with system application.
  934. *** New defcustom ~org-babel-J-command~ stores the j command
  935. *** New defalias ~org-babel-execute:j~
  936. Allows J source blocks be indicated by letter j. Previously the
  937. indication letter was solely J.
  938. *** ~org-open-line~ ignores tables at the very beginning of the buffer
  939. When ~org-special-ctrl-o~ is non-nil, it is impractical to create
  940. a blank line above a table at the beginning of the document. Now, as
  941. a special case, ~org-open-line~ behaves normally in this situation.
  942. *** ~org-babel-hash-show-time~ is now customizable
  943. The experimental variable used to be more or less confidential, as
  944. a ~defvar~.
  945. *** New ~:format~ property to parsed links
  946. It defines the format of the original link. Possible values are:
  947. ~plain~, ~bracket~ and ~angle~.
  948. * Version 8.3
  949. ** Incompatible changes
  950. *** Properties drawers syntax changes
  951. Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
  952. headline and its planning line, when applicable.
  953. It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
  954. logged before the property drawer.
  955. The following function will repair them:
  956. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  957. (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
  958. "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
  959. Ignore non Org buffers."
  960. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  961. (org-with-wide-buffer
  962. (goto-char (point-min))
  963. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  964. (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
  965. (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
  966. "END[ \t]*$"))))
  967. (org-map-entries
  968. (lambda ()
  969. (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
  970. (save-excursion
  971. (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
  972. (forward-line)
  973. (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
  974. (when (and (< (point) end)
  975. (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
  976. (save-excursion
  977. (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
  978. (eq (org-element-type
  979. (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
  980. 'drawer))))
  981. (insert (delete-and-extract-region
  982. (match-beginning 0)
  983. (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
  984. (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
  985. #+END_SRC
  986. *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
  987. If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
  988. exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
  989. is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
  990. into account when exporting.
  991. If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
  992. for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
  993. *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
  994. It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
  995. the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
  996. 5.14 (2008).
  997. =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
  998. properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
  999. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1000. ,* Headline
  1001. :PROPERTIES:
  1002. :CATEGORY: some category
  1003. :END:
  1004. #+END_SRC
  1005. *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
  1006. ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
  1007. and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
  1008. controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
  1009. see.
  1010. *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
  1011. ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
  1012. version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
  1013. Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
  1014. ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
  1015. *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
  1016. Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
  1017. buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
  1018. *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
  1019. The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
  1020. ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~
  1021. respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
  1022. functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
  1023. (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
  1024. *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
  1025. ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
  1026. =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
  1027. *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
  1028. If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
  1029. org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
  1030. org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
  1031. *** Functions signature changes
  1032. The following functions require an additional argument. See their
  1033. docstring for more information.
  1034. - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
  1035. - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
  1036. - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
  1037. - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
  1038. - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
  1039. - ~org-link-search~
  1040. ** New features
  1041. *** Default lexical evaluation of emacs-lisp src blocks
  1042. Emacs-lisp src blocks in babel are now evaluated using lexical
  1043. scoping. There is a new header to control this behavior.
  1044. The default results in an eval with lexical scoping.
  1045. :lexical yes
  1046. This turns lexical scoping off in the eval (the former behavior).
  1047. :lexical no
  1048. This uses the lexical environment with x=42 in the eval.
  1049. :lexical '((x . 42))
  1050. *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
  1051. If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
  1052. without changing the headline.
  1053. *** Hierarchies of tags
  1054. The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
  1055. This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
  1056. in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
  1057. The following in-buffer definition:
  1058. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1059. ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
  1060. ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
  1061. ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
  1062. #+END_SRC
  1063. Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
  1064. - Group
  1065. - SubOne
  1066. - SubOne1
  1067. - SubOne2
  1068. - SubTwo
  1069. - SubTwo1
  1070. - SubTwo2
  1071. Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
  1072. on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
  1073. There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
  1074. *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
  1075. Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
  1076. don't have to be distinct on a heading.
  1077. Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
  1078. already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
  1079. non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: { }
  1080. can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the given
  1081. tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
  1082. [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
  1083. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1084. ,* Test :sub1:sub2:
  1085. #+END_SRC
  1086. This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
  1087. grouptags; { }.
  1088. *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
  1089. Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
  1090. "sub-tags".
  1091. The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
  1092. Example use:
  1093. : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
  1094. Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
  1095. regular expression matches for P@.+. This is good for example for
  1096. projects tagged with a common identifier, i.e. P@2014_OrgTags.
  1097. *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
  1098. Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filters all of the related tags.
  1099. Except if a filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
  1100. Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
  1101. levels anymore.
  1102. If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
  1103. is also used as a filter.
  1104. *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
  1105. Now uses the argument ARG and optional argument exclude instead of
  1106. strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
  1107. makes more sense than strip now. The term "narrowing" is changed to
  1108. exclude.
  1109. The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
  1110. filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
  1111. *** Babel: support for sed scripts
  1112. Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
  1113. *** Babel: support for Processing language
  1114. New ob-processing.el library.
  1115. This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
  1116. of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
  1117. external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
  1118. Check the documentation for more details.
  1119. Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
  1120. *** New behaviour for ~org-toggle-latex-fragment~
  1121. The new behaviour is the following:
  1122. - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument when
  1123. point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the whole
  1124. buffer;
  1125. - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
  1126. subtree;
  1127. - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
  1128. - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
  1129. *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  1130. The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
  1131. instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
  1132. *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  1133. Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
  1134. possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
  1135. more information.
  1136. *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
  1137. One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
  1138. which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
  1139. ~org-drawers~ variable.
  1140. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
  1141. Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
  1142. mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
  1143. "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
  1144. configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
  1145. *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
  1146. If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
  1147. argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
  1148. representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
  1149. default is =hline=.
  1150. *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
  1151. For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch in
  1152. a source block.
  1153. *** New option in ASCII export
  1154. Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting ~org-ascii-list-margin~
  1155. variable to an appropriate integer.
  1156. *** New blocks in ASCII export
  1157. ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT=
  1158. blocks. See documentation for details.
  1159. *** More back-end specific publishing options
  1160. The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
  1161. increased. See manual for details.
  1162. *** Export inline source blocks
  1163. Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
  1164. now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
  1165. in the output, depending on the parameters.
  1166. *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
  1167. These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
  1168. *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
  1169. *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
  1170. *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
  1171. This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
  1172. more features. See docstring for details.
  1173. *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
  1174. *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
  1175. Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
  1176. document, before wrapping it within the template.
  1177. *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
  1178. : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
  1179. : #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1180. : This sentence is false.
  1181. : #+END_EXAMPLE
  1182. will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
  1183. *** Various improvements on radio tables
  1184. Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
  1185. ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
  1186. parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are new
  1187. parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
  1188. ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
  1189. docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
  1190. *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
  1191. It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction
  1192. with source blocks exported by the minted package.
  1193. *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
  1194. Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
  1195. would throw an error. A new variable ~org-table-formula-create-columns~
  1196. was added to adjust this behavior. It is now possible to silently add
  1197. new columns, to do so with a warning or to explicitly ask the user
  1198. each time.
  1199. *** ASCII plot
  1200. Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
  1201. for details.
  1202. *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
  1203. This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
  1204. on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
  1205. *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
  1206. When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
  1207. *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
  1208. This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is now
  1209. deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
  1210. special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
  1211. *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  1212. See the docstring for more information.
  1213. *** Export unnumbered headlines
  1214. Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
  1215. exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
  1216. property is inherited by children.
  1217. *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
  1218. It is now possible to specify a function, both programmatically,
  1219. through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~ keys,
  1220. to sort a table.
  1221. *** Table of contents can be local to a section
  1222. The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See manual
  1223. for details.
  1224. *** Countdown timers can now be paused
  1225. ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
  1226. countdown timers.
  1227. *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
  1228. When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
  1229. displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
  1230. *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
  1231. It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
  1232. ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
  1233. *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
  1234. It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
  1235. ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
  1236. manual for details.
  1237. *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
  1238. It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
  1239. title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
  1240. *** New entities family: "\_ "
  1241. "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
  1242. back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
  1243. leading spaces within table cells.
  1244. *** New MathJax configuration options
  1245. Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
  1246. of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
  1247. *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
  1248. When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
  1249. `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
  1250. `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
  1251. However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
  1252. =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
  1253. value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
  1254. keywords and properties.
  1255. *** Viewport support in html export
  1256. Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
  1257. when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
  1258. *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
  1259. Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
  1260. for details.
  1261. *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
  1262. Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
  1263. allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in a
  1264. dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
  1265. *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
  1266. Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
  1267. added to headline text.
  1268. *** Support for images in Texinfo export
  1269. ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See the manual for details.
  1270. *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
  1271. Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
  1272. of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
  1273. =#+TOC= keyword.
  1274. *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
  1275. In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
  1276. set using the hh:mm:ss format.
  1277. *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
  1278. ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for the
  1279. number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original subtree
  1280. and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
  1281. *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
  1282. It encompasses all past closed clocks.
  1283. *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
  1284. See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
  1285. ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
  1286. *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
  1287. *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
  1288. ** Removed functions
  1289. *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
  1290. Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
  1291. *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
  1292. This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
  1293. current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
  1294. it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
  1295. accessible from the export dispatcher.
  1296. *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
  1297. ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
  1298. *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
  1299. This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
  1300. references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
  1301. *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
  1302. The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
  1303. optional argument.
  1304. *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
  1305. These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
  1306. anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
  1307. ** Removed options
  1308. *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
  1309. It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
  1310. compatibility.
  1311. If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
  1312. two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
  1313. *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
  1314. Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
  1315. body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
  1316. document instead.
  1317. *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
  1318. Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
  1319. everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
  1320. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
  1321. This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name= at
  1322. the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the value
  1323. of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=. To chose
  1324. a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind this
  1325. variable locally.
  1326. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
  1327. This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
  1328. styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
  1329. be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
  1330. compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
  1331. anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
  1332. *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
  1333. Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
  1334. would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
  1335. removed.
  1336. *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
  1337. Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
  1338. *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
  1339. This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
  1340. *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
  1341. This variable has no effect since August 2009.
  1342. *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
  1343. MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
  1344. end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
  1345. ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
  1346. ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
  1347. *** Removed comment-related filters
  1348. ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
  1349. ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
  1350. anymore.
  1351. ** Miscellaneous
  1352. *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
  1353. ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
  1354. *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
  1355. Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
  1356. =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
  1357. *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
  1358. As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
  1359. footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
  1360. labels colliding.
  1361. *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
  1362. This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
  1363. =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
  1364. *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
  1365. =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
  1366. *** Select tests to perform with the build system
  1367. The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
  1368. regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
  1369. This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
  1370. particular test failure was introduced.
  1371. *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
  1372. Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
  1373. the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as well
  1374. as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~ when
  1375. ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
  1376. *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
  1377. New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
  1378. Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
  1379. *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  1380. If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
  1381. ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~ now.
  1382. *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
  1383. This helps spotting wrong links.
  1384. * Version 8.2
  1385. ** Incompatible changes
  1386. *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
  1387. This may require two changes in user config.
  1388. 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
  1389. 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
  1390. to remove "sh" and include "shell".
  1391. *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
  1392. Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
  1393. 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
  1394. need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
  1395. Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
  1396. =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
  1397. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
  1398. with this:
  1399. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  1400. *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
  1401. Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
  1402. t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
  1403. option keywords like :html-include-style.
  1404. So you need to replace
  1405. : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
  1406. by
  1407. : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
  1408. Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
  1409. and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
  1410. *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
  1411. ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
  1412. process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
  1413. relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
  1414. Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
  1415. the other optional arguments accordingly.
  1416. *** Export back-ends are now structures
  1417. Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
  1418. communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
  1419. now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
  1420. of a symbol.
  1421. Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
  1422. ** Important bugfixes
  1423. *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
  1424. *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
  1425. *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
  1426. You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
  1427. this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
  1428. separator starting a TOTO match string.
  1429. ** New features
  1430. *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
  1431. See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
  1432. of the list.
  1433. *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
  1434. - Support SVG images
  1435. - Support for .pgf files
  1436. - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
  1437. - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
  1438. - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
  1439. replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
  1440. or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
  1441. - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
  1442. now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
  1443. *** New functions for paragraph motion
  1444. The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
  1445. that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
  1446. in a paragraph-like way.
  1447. *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  1448. Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
  1449. dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
  1450. leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
  1451. preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
  1452. check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
  1453. *** Anonymous export back-ends
  1454. ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
  1455. which can then be passed to export functions like
  1456. ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
  1457. It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
  1458. registering a new back-end.
  1459. *** New agenda fortnight view
  1460. The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
  1461. views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
  1462. ** New options
  1463. *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
  1464. This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
  1465. *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
  1466. This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
  1467. See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
  1468. *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
  1469. This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
  1470. the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
  1471. Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
  1472. allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
  1473. library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
  1474. so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
  1475. t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
  1476. of =ox-rss.el=.
  1477. *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
  1478. This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
  1479. *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
  1480. This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
  1481. *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
  1482. See [[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
  1483. *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
  1484. If you set this to the following
  1485. : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
  1486. then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
  1487. *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
  1488. This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
  1489. =C-o= in tables.
  1490. ** New contributed packages
  1491. - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
  1492. export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
  1493. software.
  1494. - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
  1495. screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
  1496. ** Miscellaneous
  1497. *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
  1498. "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
  1499. starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
  1500. a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
  1501. the same with example blocks.
  1502. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
  1503. release.
  1504. * Version 8.0.1
  1505. ** Installation
  1506. Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
  1507. If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
  1508. instructions:
  1509. - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
  1510. =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
  1511. customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
  1512. - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
  1513. correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
  1514. only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
  1515. the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
  1516. detailed explanations.
  1517. - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
  1518. you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
  1519. function has been called already.
  1520. When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
  1521. installation.
  1522. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
  1523. ** Incompatible changes
  1524. Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
  1525. If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
  1526. If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
  1527. you will have to update them.
  1528. Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
  1529. See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
  1530. this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
  1531. **** New export engine
  1532. Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
  1533. export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
  1534. already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
  1535. /all/ export back-ends.
  1536. The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
  1537. keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
  1538. built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
  1539. directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
  1540. [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
  1541. More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
  1542. corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
  1543. If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
  1544. rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
  1545. option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
  1546. manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
  1547. **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
  1548. : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
  1549. should now be written
  1550. : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
  1551. Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
  1552. respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
  1553. each backend. See Org's manual for details.
  1554. **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
  1555. You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
  1556. Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
  1557. now fully removed.
  1558. Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
  1559. remember templates into capture templates.
  1560. **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
  1561. If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
  1562. will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
  1563. **** Note for third-party developers
  1564. The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
  1565. prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
  1566. files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
  1567. If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
  1568. code.
  1569. **** Packages moved from core to contrib
  1570. Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
  1571. to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
  1572. moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
  1573. The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
  1574. is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
  1575. included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
  1576. user-base.
  1577. - org-colview-xemacs.el
  1578. - org-mac-message.el
  1579. - org-mew.el
  1580. - org-wl.el
  1581. - ox-freedmind.el
  1582. - ox-taskjuggler.el
  1583. Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
  1584. ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
  1585. ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
  1586. Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
  1587. wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
  1588. ** New packages in core
  1589. *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
  1590. =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
  1591. *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1592. =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
  1593. *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
  1594. =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
  1595. vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
  1596. *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
  1597. =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
  1598. ** New packages in contrib
  1599. *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
  1600. [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
  1601. =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
  1602. code.
  1603. *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1604. [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
  1605. software, written entirely in the C programming language.
  1606. ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
  1607. entries.
  1608. *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
  1609. ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
  1610. *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
  1611. Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
  1612. Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
  1613. for starting headlines.
  1614. *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
  1615. ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
  1616. locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
  1617. the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
  1618. [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
  1619. *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
  1620. ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
  1621. *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
  1622. [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
  1623. presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  1624. using =deck.js=.
  1625. [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
  1626. presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  1627. using =s5=.
  1628. *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
  1629. The [[https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
  1630. plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
  1631. output.
  1632. Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
  1633. conversion from Org files to groff.
  1634. *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
  1635. This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
  1636. *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
  1637. This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
  1638. with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
  1639. entirely with Org.
  1640. ** New features
  1641. *** Export
  1642. **** New export generic options
  1643. If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
  1644. it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
  1645. Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
  1646. - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
  1647. =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
  1648. You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
  1649. file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
  1650. - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
  1651. =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
  1652. now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
  1653. [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
  1654. new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
  1655. set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
  1656. standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
  1657. contains time-stamps.
  1658. To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
  1659. Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
  1660. the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
  1661. **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
  1662. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
  1663. **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
  1664. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
  1665. **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
  1666. **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
  1667. **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
  1668. *** Structure editing
  1669. **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
  1670. **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
  1671. [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
  1672. prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
  1673. **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
  1674. This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
  1675. would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
  1676. create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
  1677. an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
  1678. region.
  1679. **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
  1680. In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
  1681. _words__= will preserve markup.
  1682. **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
  1683. This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
  1684. is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
  1685. can slow down the flow of editing too much.
  1686. **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
  1687. These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
  1688. speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
  1689. **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
  1690. These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
  1691. now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
  1692. =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
  1693. forward and backward.
  1694. **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
  1695. **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
  1696. Now Org will sort this list
  1697. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  1698. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  1699. like this:
  1700. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  1701. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  1702. by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
  1703. Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
  1704. **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
  1705. For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
  1706. =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
  1707. states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
  1708. In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
  1709. local variable.
  1710. **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
  1711. The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
  1712. When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
  1713. time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
  1714. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
  1715. This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
  1716. restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
  1717. The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
  1718. restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
  1719. option to =nil=.
  1720. **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
  1721. When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
  1722. removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
  1723. information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
  1724. If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
  1725. TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
  1726. **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
  1727. This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
  1728. The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
  1729. fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
  1730. : #+attr_html: :width 300px
  1731. *** Scheduled/deadline
  1732. **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
  1733. If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
  1734. now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
  1735. task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
  1736. from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
  1737. Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
  1738. you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
  1739. display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
  1740. to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
  1741. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
  1742. occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
  1743. occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
  1744. and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
  1745. control this globally or per agenda.
  1746. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
  1747. See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
  1748. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
  1749. =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
  1750. *** Calendar, diary and appts
  1751. **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
  1752. By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
  1753. normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
  1754. the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
  1755. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1756. ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
  1757. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
  1758. ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
  1759. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
  1760. (kbd "@")
  1761. (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
  1762. #+END_SRC
  1763. **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
  1764. This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
  1765. appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
  1766. call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
  1767. **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
  1768. [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
  1769. in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
  1770. only show their description, not the full links.
  1771. *** Agenda
  1772. **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
  1773. When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
  1774. list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
  1775. want to build a list of appointments.
  1776. You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
  1777. each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
  1778. Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
  1779. : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
  1780. This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
  1781. time value (i.e. appointments).
  1782. **** New agenda sorting strategies
  1783. [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
  1784. | Strategy | Explanations |
  1785. |----------------+------------------------------------------|
  1786. | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
  1787. | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
  1788. | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
  1789. | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
  1790. | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
  1791. | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
  1792. | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
  1793. | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
  1794. | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
  1795. | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
  1796. **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
  1797. You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
  1798. different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
  1799. while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
  1800. These new options are available:
  1801. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
  1802. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
  1803. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
  1804. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
  1805. For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
  1806. view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
  1807. without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
  1808. When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
  1809. to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
  1810. no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
  1811. to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
  1812. show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
  1813. non-tagged headlines.
  1814. **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
  1815. You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
  1816. regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
  1817. example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
  1818. that take only =N= minutes.
  1819. **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
  1820. You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
  1821. == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
  1822. [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
  1823. **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
  1824. Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
  1825. filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
  1826. **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
  1827. You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
  1828. headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
  1829. This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
  1830. list of notes.
  1831. **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
  1832. It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
  1833. your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
  1834. =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
  1835. This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
  1836. change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
  1837. **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
  1838. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
  1839. to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
  1840. This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
  1841. **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
  1842. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
  1843. display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
  1844. outline tree.
  1845. **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
  1846. =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
  1847. overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
  1848. asks for a confirmation.
  1849. **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
  1850. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
  1851. the mark of the entry at point.
  1852. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
  1853. toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
  1854. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
  1855. This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
  1856. E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
  1857. level 1.
  1858. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
  1859. This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
  1860. options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
  1861. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
  1862. This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
  1863. entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
  1864. **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
  1865. The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
  1866. it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
  1867. [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
  1868. string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
  1869. **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  1870. When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
  1871. =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
  1872. repeated beyond the current deadline.
  1873. **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
  1874. This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
  1875. which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
  1876. prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
  1877. deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
  1878. Read the full docstring for details.
  1879. **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
  1880. For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
  1881. : * Task
  1882. : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
  1883. *** Capture
  1884. **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
  1885. With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
  1886. point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
  1887. capture template.
  1888. **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
  1889. If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
  1890. expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
  1891. **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
  1892. [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  1893. allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
  1894. be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
  1895. check against the name of the buffer.
  1896. *** Tag groups
  1897. Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
  1898. (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
  1899. headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
  1900. of those tags.)
  1901. You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
  1902. agenda views, and for filtering.
  1903. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
  1904. *** Links
  1905. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
  1906. Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
  1907. other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
  1908. through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
  1909. Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
  1910. as if the protocol was not known.
  1911. You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
  1912. **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
  1913. Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
  1914. Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
  1915. RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
  1916. active.
  1917. **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
  1918. =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
  1919. description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
  1920. with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
  1921. **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
  1922. When storing a link to a headline like
  1923. : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
  1924. [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
  1925. It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
  1926. there is no description.
  1927. *** Table
  1928. **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
  1929. If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
  1930. apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
  1931. those other formulas.
  1932. **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
  1933. If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
  1934. [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
  1935. mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
  1936. the end.
  1937. **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
  1938. If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
  1939. english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
  1940. internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
  1941. doing computation.
  1942. **** New lookup functions
  1943. There are now three lookup functions:
  1944. - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
  1945. - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
  1946. - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
  1947. See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
  1948. *** Startup keywords
  1949. These new startup keywords are now available:
  1950. | Startup keyword | Option |
  1951. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1952. | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
  1953. | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
  1954. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1955. | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
  1956. | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
  1957. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1958. | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
  1959. | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
  1960. *** Clocking
  1961. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
  1962. E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
  1963. clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
  1964. 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
  1965. your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
  1966. **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
  1967. When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
  1968. day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
  1969. for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
  1970. the clocktable.
  1971. See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
  1972. [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
  1973. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
  1974. This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
  1975. milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
  1976. **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
  1977. When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
  1978. option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
  1979. [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
  1980. **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
  1981. **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
  1982. **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
  1983. **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
  1984. **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
  1985. **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
  1986. **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
  1987. *** Babel
  1988. **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
  1989. This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
  1990. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
  1991. This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
  1992. same target than the block at point.
  1993. **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
  1994. When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
  1995. in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
  1996. file under the same directory than the base Org file.
  1997. When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
  1998. the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
  1999. time.
  2000. **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
  2001. This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
  2002. code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
  2003. manual for a usage example.
  2004. **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
  2005. If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
  2006. the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
  2007. collecting blocks for tangling.
  2008. **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
  2009. **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
  2010. Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
  2011. cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
  2012. **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
  2013. **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
  2014. When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
  2015. instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
  2016. *** Faces
  2017. - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
  2018. - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords

  2026. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  2027. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  2028. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  2029. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
  2030. - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
  2031. - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
  2032. - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
  2033. - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
  2034. - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
  2035. - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks

  2041. ** Outside Org
  2042. *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
  2043. David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
  2044. You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
  2045. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  2046. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  2047. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  2048. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  2049. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  2050. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  2051. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  2052. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  2053. found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  2054. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
  2055. - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
  2056. - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
  2057. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  2058. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  2059. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  2060. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  2061. * Version 7.9.3
  2062. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  2063. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  2064. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  2065. agenda views.)
  2066. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  2067. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  2068. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  2069. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  2070. agenda type to this variable.
  2071. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  2072. generation.
  2073. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  2074. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  2075. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  2076. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  2077. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  2078. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  2079. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  2080. invisible) blocked tasks.
  2081. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  2082. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  2083. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  2084. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  2085. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  2086. ** No GPL manual anymore
  2087. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  2088. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  2089. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  2090. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  2091. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  2092. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  2093. in most environments.
  2094. * Version 7.9.2
  2095. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  2096. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  2097. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2098. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  2099. #+END_SRC
  2100. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  2101. available through https://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  2102. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  2103. directory.)
  2104. See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
  2105. ** Overview of the new keybindings
  2106. | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
  2107. |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|
  2108. | =C-c C-x C-z= | | [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]] |
  2109. | =C-c C-x C-q= | | [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]] |
  2110. | =C-c C-x C-x= | | [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] |

  2119. | =k= | | [[doc::org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] |
  2120. | C-c , | , | [[doc::org-priority][org-priority]] |
  2121. ** New package and Babel language
  2122. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  2123. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  2124. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  2125. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  2126. ** Incompatible changes
  2127. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  2128. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  2129. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  2130. instead.
  2131. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  2132. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  2133. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  2134. ** New features and user-visible changes
  2135. *** Org Element
  2136. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  2137. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  2138. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  2139. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  2140. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  2141. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  2142. See the docstrings for more details.
  2143. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  2144. on =org-element.el=.
  2145. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  2146. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  2147. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  2148. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  2149. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  2150. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  2151. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  2152. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  2153. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  2154. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  2155. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  2156. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  2157. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  2158. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  2159. elements.
  2160. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  2161. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  2162. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  2163. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  2164. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  2165. item. Etc.
  2166. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  2167. the whole list.
  2168. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  2169. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  2170. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  2171. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  2172. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  2173. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  2174. the same level.
  2175. *** Org Agenda
  2176. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  2177. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  2178. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  2179. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  2180. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  2181. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  2182. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  2183. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  2184. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  2185. generating new ones.
  2186. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  2187. agenda buffer.
  2188. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  2189. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  2190. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  2191. to this value
  2192. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2193. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  2194. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  2195. #+END_SRC
  2196. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  2197. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  2198. details on how to use this.
  2199. **** Changes in bulk actions
  2200. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  2201. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  2202. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  2203. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  2204. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  2205. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  2206. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  2207. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  2208. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  2209. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  2210. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  2211. =t=.
  2212. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  2213. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  2214. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  2215. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  2216. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  2217. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  2218. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  2219. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  2220. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  2221. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  2222. =f= or =w=).
  2223. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  2224. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  2225. of deadline.
  2226. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  2227. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  2228. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  2229. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  2230. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  2231. several times.
  2232. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  2233. See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  2234. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  2235. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  2236. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  2237. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  2238. filters and category filters.
  2239. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  2240. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  2241. configuration.
  2242. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  2243. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  2244. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  2245. point.
  2246. *** Org Links
  2247. **** Inserting links
  2248. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  2249. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  2250. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  2251. want to insert.
  2252. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  2253. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  2254. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  2255. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  2256. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  2257. highlighted.
  2258. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  2259. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  2260. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  2261. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  2262. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  2263. **** New link type =help=
  2264. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  2265. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  2266. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  2267. you go back to the same buffer.
  2268. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  2269. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  2270. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  2271. =org-stored-links=.
  2272. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  2273. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  2274. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  2275. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  2276. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  2277. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  2278. *** Org Editing
  2279. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  2280. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  2281. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  2282. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  2283. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  2284. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  2285. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  2286. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  2287. all headlines in the region.
  2288. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  2289. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  2290. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  2291. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  2292. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  2293. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  2294. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  2295. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  2296. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  2297. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  2298. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  2299. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  2300. undo RET=.
  2301. *** Org Clock
  2302. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  2303. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  2304. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  2305. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  2306. clocked entry, if any.
  2307. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  2308. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  2309. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  2310. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  2311. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  2312. out.
  2313. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  2314. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  2315. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  2316. arguments).
  2317. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  2318. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  2319. in.
  2320. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  2321. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  2322. cells in clockreport.
  2323. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  2324. time cells in clockreport.
  2325. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  2326. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  2327. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  2328. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  2329. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  2330. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  2331. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  2332. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  2333. space in the frame title.
  2334. *** Org Appearance
  2335. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  2336. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  2337. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  2338. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  2339. don't want to see temporarily.
  2340. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  2341. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  2342. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  2343. There are these new entities:
  2344. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  2345. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  2346. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  2347. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  2348. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  2349. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  2350. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  2351. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  2352. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  2353. The face is back to a normal height.
  2354. *** Org Columns
  2355. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  2356. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  2357. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  2358. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  2359. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  2360. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  2361. block will use its value as the column format.
  2362. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  2363. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  2364. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  2365. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  2366. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  2367. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  2368. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  2369. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  2370. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  2371. You can now use
  2372. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  2373. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  2374. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  2375. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  2376. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  2377. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  2378. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  2379. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  2380. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  2381. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  2382. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  2383. *** Org Capture
  2384. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  2385. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  2386. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  2387. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  2388. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  2389. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  2390. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  2391. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  2392. set to this value
  2393. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2394. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  2395. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  2396. #+END_SRC
  2397. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  2398. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  2399. more details on how to use this.
  2400. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  2401. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  2402. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  2403. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  2404. =nil=.
  2405. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  2406. See the manual for more explanations.
  2407. **** More control over empty lines
  2408. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  2409. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  2410. explanations.
  2411. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  2412. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  2413. *** Org Export
  2414. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  2415. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  2416. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  2417. available) to print beautiful tables.
  2418. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  2419. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  2420. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  2421. the table.
  2422. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  2423. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  2424. in the #+DATE option.
  2425. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  2426. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  2427. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  2428. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  2429. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  2430. More languages are always welcome.
  2431. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  2432. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  2433. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  2434. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  2435. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  2436. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  2437. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  2438. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  2439. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  2440. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  2441. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  2442. *** Org Babel
  2443. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  2444. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  2445. supported.
  2446. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  2447. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  2448. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  2449. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  2450. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  2451. It used to exports the results of the code.
  2452. *** Miscellaneous
  2453. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  2454. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  2455. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  2456. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  2457. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  2458. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  2459. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  2460. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  2461. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  2462. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  2463. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  2464. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  2465. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  2466. alarm.
  2467. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  2468. This will increment the effort value.
  2469. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  2470. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  2471. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  2472. attach symbolic links.
  2473. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  2474. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  2475. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  2476. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  2477. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  2478. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  2479. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  2480. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  2481. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  2482. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  2483. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  2484. all top level list items.
  2485. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  2486. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  2487. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  2488. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  2489. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  2490. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  2491. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  2492. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  2493. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  2494. first headline in the region.
  2495. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  2496. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  2497. agenda.
  2498. ** Important bug fixes
  2499. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  2500. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  2501. perform completion with meaningful values.
  2502. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  2503. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  2504. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  2505. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  2506. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  2507. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  2508. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  2509. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  2510. license.
  2511. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  2512. the code and the license to your needs.
  2513. See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  2514. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  2515. * Version 7.8.11
  2516. ** Incompatible changes
  2517. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  2518. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  2519. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  2520. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  2521. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  2522. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  2523. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  2524. last-minute save.
  2525. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  2526. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  2527. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  2528. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  2529. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  2530. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  2531. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  2532. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  2533. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  2534. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  2535. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  2536. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  2537. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  2538. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  2539. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  2540. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  2541. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  2542. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  2543. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  2544. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  2545. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  2546. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  2547. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  2548. #+end_src
  2549. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  2550. setup./
  2551. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  2552. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  2553. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  2554. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  2555. The two new variables are:
  2556. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  2557. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  2558. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  2559. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  2560. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  2561. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  2562. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  2563. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  2564. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  2565. classes.
  2566. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  2567. document are:
  2568. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  2569. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  2570. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  2571. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  2572. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  2573. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  2574. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  2575. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  2576. #+begin_example
  2577. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  2578. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  2579. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  2580. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  2581. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  2582. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  2583. #+end_example
  2584. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  2585. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  2586. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  2587. applies to the following packages:
  2588. - inputenc
  2589. - fontenc
  2590. - fixltx2e
  2591. - graphicx
  2592. - longtable
  2593. - float
  2594. - wrapfig
  2595. - soul
  2596. - t1enc
  2597. - textcomp
  2598. - marvosym
  2599. - wasysym
  2600. - latexsym
  2601. - amssymb
  2602. - hyperref
  2603. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  2604. you are using, you can remove it from
  2605. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  2606. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  2607. properly.
  2608. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  2609. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  2610. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  2611. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  2612. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  2613. the header.
  2614. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  2615. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  2616. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  2617. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  2618. code using it.
  2619. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  2620. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  2621. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  2622. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  2623. ** Important new features
  2624. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  2625. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  2626. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  2627. for more information on how to customize it.
  2628. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  2629. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  2630. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  2631. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  2632. section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  2633. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  2634. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  2635. [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  2636. To switch over to the new system:
  2637. 1. Run
  2638. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  2639. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  2640. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  2641. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  2642. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  2643. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  2644. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  2645. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  2646. customization.
  2647. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  2648. with org-remember:
  2649. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  2650. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  2651. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  2652. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  2653. with using both system in parallel.
  2654. ** New libraries
  2655. *** New Org libraries
  2656. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  2657. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  2658. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  2659. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  2660. To use, put the following in your init file:
  2661. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  2662. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  2663. #+END_EXAMPLE
  2664. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  2665. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  2666. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  2667. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  2668. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  2669. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  2670. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  2671. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  2672. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  2673. anything.
  2674. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  2675. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  2676. He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  2677. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  2678. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  2679. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  2680. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  2681. /org-ctags.el/.
  2682. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  2683. call function to do something special with text links.
  2684. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  2685. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  2686. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  2687. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  2688. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  2689. Org-mode manual:
  2690. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  2691. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  2692. *** New Babel libraries
  2693. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  2694. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  2695. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  2696. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  2697. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  2698. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  2699. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  2700. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  2701. *** Hyperlinks
  2702. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  2703. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  2704. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  2705. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  2706. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  2707. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  2708. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  2709. The key new functions are
  2710. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  2711. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  2712. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  2713. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  2714. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  2715. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  2716. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  2717. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  2718. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  2719. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  2720. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  2721. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  2722. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  2723. **** Modified link escaping
  2724. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  2725. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  2726. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  2727. : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
  2728. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  2729. : link).
  2730. :
  2731. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  2732. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  2733. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  2734. : percent escaped links are solved.
  2735. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  2736. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  2737. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  2738. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  2739. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  2740. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  2741. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  2742. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  2743. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  2744. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  2745. string to be executed.
  2746. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  2747. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  2748. to org-file-apps:
  2749. #+begin_example
  2750. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  2751. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  2752. #+end_example
  2753. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  2754. *** Dates and time
  2755. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  2756. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  2757. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  2758. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  2759. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  2760. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  2761. will work on the current entry.
  2762. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  2763. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  2764. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  2765. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  2766. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  2767. #+begin_example
  2768. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  2769. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  2770. #+end_example
  2771. *** Agenda
  2772. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  2773. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  2774. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  2775. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  2776. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  2777. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  2778. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  2779. entries using a function.
  2780. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  2781. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  2782. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  2783. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  2784. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  2785. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  2786. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  2787. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  2788. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  2789. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  2790. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  2791. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  2792. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  2793. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  2794. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  2795. *** Exporting
  2796. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  2797. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  2798. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  2799. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  2800. docstring of these variable for details about available
  2801. %-sequences.
  2802. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  2803. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  2804. formatting string will insert a string.
  2805. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  2806. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  2807. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  2808. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  2809. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  2810. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  2811. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  2812. C-e u=, respectively.
  2813. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  2814. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  2815. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  2816. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  2817. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  2818. your preference.
  2819. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  2820. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  2821. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  2822. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  2823. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  2824. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  2825. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  2826. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  2827. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  2828. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  2829. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  2830. section]] in the manual for more details.
  2831. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  2832. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  2833. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  2834. individual could.
  2835. *** Refiling
  2836. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  2837. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  2838. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  2839. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  2840. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  2841. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  2842. **** New logging support for refiling
  2843. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  2844. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  2845. =org-log-refile=.
  2846. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  2847. *** Completion
  2848. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  2849. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  2850. *** Tables
  2851. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  2852. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  2853. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  2854. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  2855. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  2856. the displayed in the buffer.
  2857. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  2858. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  2859. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  2860. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  2861. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  2862. |--------+--------+---------|
  2863. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  2864. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  2865. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  2866. optional.
  2867. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  2868. feedback on this.
  2869. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  2870. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  2871. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  2872. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  2873. : things like
  2874. :
  2875. : @3=
  2876. : @2$2..@5$7=
  2877. : @I$2..@II$4=
  2878. :
  2879. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  2880. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  2881. : table.
  2882. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  2883. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  2884. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  2885. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  2886. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  2887. *** Lists
  2888. **** Improved handling of lists
  2889. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  2890. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  2891. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  2892. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  2893. indented than it.
  2894. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  2895. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  2896. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  2897. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  2898. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  2899. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  2900. `org-list-export-context'.
  2901. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  2902. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  2903. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  2904. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  2905. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  2906. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  2907. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  2908. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  2909. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  2910. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  2911. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  2912. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  2913. *** Inline display of linked images
  2914. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  2915. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  2916. that have no description part will be inlined.
  2917. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  2918. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  2919. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  2920. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  2921. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  2922. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  2923. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  2924. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  2925. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  2926. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  2927. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  2928. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  2929. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  2930. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  2931. tangling
  2932. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  2933. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  2934. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  2935. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  2936. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  2937. properties or in tables.
  2938. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  2939. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  2940. names, and rownames across all languages.
  2941. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  2942. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  2943. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  2944. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  2945. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  2946. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  2947. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  2948. request by Scott Otterson.
  2949. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  2950. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  2951. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  2952. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  2953. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  2954. superscripts, see the variable
  2955. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  2956. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  2957. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  2958. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  2959. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  2960. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  2961. following new faces:
  2962. =org-document-title=
  2963. =org-document-info=
  2964. =org-document-info-keyword=
  2965. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  2966. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  2967. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  2968. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  2969. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  2970. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  2971. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  2972. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  2973. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  2974. property is affected by this setting.
  2975. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  2976. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  2977. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  2978. Requested by Michael Brand.
  2979. **** Better level cycling function
  2980. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  2981. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  2982. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  2983. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  2984. **** Adaptive filling
  2985. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  2986. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  2987. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  2988. comments to be filled correctly.
  2989. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  2990. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  2991. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  2992. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  2993. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  2994. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  2995. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  2996. *** Clocking
  2997. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  2998. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  2999. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  3000. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  3001. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  3002. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  3003. **** Localized clock tables
  3004. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  3005. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  3006. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  3007. available translated strings.
  3008. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  3009. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  3010. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  3011. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  3012. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  3013. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  3014. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  3015. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  3016. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  3017. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  3018. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  3019. =nil=.
  3020. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  3021. *** Misc
  3022. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  3023. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  3024. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  3025. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  3026. **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  3027. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  3028. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  3029. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  3030. property) back.
  3031. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  3032. change.
  3033. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  3034. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  3035. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  3036. #+begin_example
  3037. org-table-get
  3038. org-table-put
  3039. org-table-current-line
  3040. org-table-goto-line
  3041. #+end_example
  3042. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  3043. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  3044. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  3045. node.
  3046. This was requested by Tom.
  3047. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  3048. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  3049. example by viewing from the agenda.
  3050. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
