  8. * Version 9.4 (not yet released)
  9. ** Incompatible changes
  10. *** Python session return values must be top-level expression statements
  11. Python blocks with ~:session :results value~ header arguments now only
  12. return a value if the last line is a top-level expression statement,
  13. otherwise the result is None. Also, None will now show up under
  14. "#+RESULTS:", as it already did with ~:results value~ for non-session
  15. blocks.
  16. *** In HTML export, change on how outline-container-* is set
  17. When the headline has a =CUSTOM_ID=, use this custom id to build the
  18. div id. For example, if you have =:CUSTOM_ID: my-headline= then the
  19. resulting <div> will be ~<div id="outline-container-my-headline">~.
  20. You may want to check whether your HTML files are rendered differently
  21. after this change.
  22. ** New features
  23. *** Numeric priorities are now allowed (up to 65)
  24. You can now set ~org-priority-highest/lowest/default~ to integers to
  25. use numeric priorities globally or set, for example
  26. #+PRIORITIES: 1 10 5
  27. to define a buffer-local range and default for priorities. Priority
  28. commands should work as usual. You cannot use numbers superior to 64
  29. for numeric priorities, as it would clash with priorities like [#A]
  30. where the "A" is internally converted to its numeric value of 65.
  31. *** New minor mode ~org-table-header-line-mode~
  32. Turn on the display of the first data row of the table at point in the
  33. window header line when this first row is not visible anymore in the
  34. buffer.
  35. You can activate this minor mode by default by setting the option
  36. ~org-table-header-line-p~ to =t=. You can also change the face for
  37. the header line by customizing the ~org-table-header~ face.
  38. *** New minor mode ~org-list-checkbox-radio-mode~
  39. When this minor mode is on, checkboxes behave as radio buttons: if a
  40. checkbox is turned on, other checkboxes at the same level are turned
  41. off.
  42. If you want to occasionally toggle a checkbox as a radio button
  43. without turning this minor mode on, you can use =<C-c C-x C-r>= to
  44. call ~org-toggle-radio-button~.
  45. You can also add =#+ATTR_ORG: :radio t= right before the list to tell
  46. Org to use radio buttons for this list only.
  47. *** Looping agenda commands over headlines
  48. ~org-agenda-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region~ allows you to loop
  49. agenda commands over the active region. When set to =t=, loop over
  50. all headlines. When set to ='start-level=, loop over headlines with
  51. the same level than the first headline in the region. When set to a
  52. string, loop over lines matching this regular expression.
  53. *** Property drawers allowed before first headline
  54. Property drawers are now allowed before the first headline.
  55. Org mode is moving more towards making things before the first
  56. headline behave just as if it was at outline level 0. Inheritance for
  57. properties will work also for this level. In other words: defining
  58. things in a property drawer before the first headline will make them
  59. "inheritable" for all headlines.
  60. *** Refinement in window behavior on exiting Org source buffer
  61. After editing a source block, Org will restore the window layout when
  62. ~org-src-window-setup~ is set to a value that modifies the layout.
  63. *** Display remote inline images
  64. Org now knows how to display remote images inline.
  65. Whether the images are actually displayed is controlled by the new
  66. option ~org-display-remote-inline-images~.
  67. *** New allowed value for ~org-adapt-indentation~
  68. ~org-adapt-indentation~ now accepts a new value, ='headline-data=.
  69. When set to this value, Org will only adapt indentation of headline
  70. data lines, such as planning/clock lines and property/logbook drawers.
  71. Also, with this setting, =org-indent-mode= will keep these data lines
  72. correctly aligned with the headline above.
  73. *** New option to resolve open clock at a provided time
  74. ~org-resolve-clocks~ now has a `t' option, which works just like the
  75. `k' option, but the user specifies a time of day, not a number of
  76. minutes.
  77. *** Babel: =ob-clojure.el= now supports executing ClojureScript
  78. You can now use =#+begin_src clojurescript= and execute ClojureScript
  79. code from Org files. You will need to put the file in an directory
  80. from where ClojureScript knows how to start a nrepl connection: e.g.
  81. you can put your Org file at the root of a figwheel-main directory.
  82. *** Babel: new header argument to pass Java command line arguments
  83. Babel Java blocks recognize header argument =:cmdargs= and pass its
  84. value in call to =java=.
  85. ** New commands
  86. *** ~org-table-header-line-mode~
  87. Turn on a minor mode to display the first data row of the table at
  88. point in the header-line when the beginning of the table is invisible.
  89. *** ~org-datetree-find-month-create~
  90. Find or create a month entry for a date.
  91. *** ~org-columns-toggle-or-columns-quit~
  92. =<C-c C-c>= bound to ~org-columns-toggle-or-columns-quit~ replaces the
  93. recent ~org-columns-set-tags-or-toggle~. Tag setting is still
  94. possible via column view value edit or with =<C-c C-q>=.
  95. *** ~org-agenda-ctrl-c-ctrl-c~
  96. =<C-c C-c>= in agenda calls ~org-agenda-set-tags~.
  97. ** New options
  98. *** New option ~org-clock-auto-clockout-timer~
  99. When this option is set to a number and the user configuration
  100. contains =(org-clock-auto-clockout-insinuate)=, Org will clock out the
  101. currently clocked in task after that number of seconds of idle time.
  102. This is useful when you often forget to clock out before being idle
  103. and don't want to have to manually set the clocking time to take into
  104. account.
  105. *** New option ~org-table-header-line-p~
  106. Setting this option to =t= will activate
  107. ~org-table-header-line-mode~ in org-mode buffers.
  108. *** New option to group captured datetime entries by month
  109. A new `:tree-type month' option was added to org-capture-templates to
  110. group new datetime entries by month.
  111. *** New option to show source buffers using "plain" display-buffer
  112. Added option ~plain~ to ~org-src-window-setup~ to show source buffers
  113. using ~display-buffer~. This allows users to control how source
  114. buffers are displayed by modifying ~display-buffer-alist~ or
  115. ~display-buffer-base-action~.
  116. *** New option ~org-archive-subtree-save-file-p~
  117. Archiving a subtree used to always save the target archive buffer.
  118. Commit [[https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/b186d1d7][b186d1d7]] changed this behavior by always not saving the target
  119. buffer, because batch archiving from agenda could take too much time.
  120. This new option ~org-archive-subtree-save-file-p~ defaults to the
  121. value =from-org= so that archiving a subtree will save the target
  122. buffer when done from an org-mode buffer, but not from the agenda.
  123. You can also set this option to =t= or to =from-agenda=.
  124. *** New option ~org-show-notification-timeout~
  125. This option will add a timeout to notifications.
  126. ** Removed or renamed functions and variables
  127. *** Renamed ~org-columns-set-tags-or-toggle~
  128. See [[*~org-columns-toggle-or-columns-quit~]].
  129. *** Renamed priority options
  130. From ~org-lowest-priority~ to ~org-priority-lowest~.
  131. From ~org-default-priority~ to ~org-priority-default~.
  132. From ~org-highest-priority~ to ~org-priority-highest~.
  133. From ~org-enable-priority-commands~ to ~org-priority-enable-commands~.
  134. From ~org-show-priority~ to ~org-priority-show~.
  135. ** Miscellaneous
  136. *** Duration can be read and written in compact form
  137. ~org-duration-to-minutes~ understands =1d3h5min= as a duration,
  138. whereas ~org-duration-from-minutes~ can output this compact form if
  139. the duration format contains the symbol ~compact~.
  140. *** Fontify whole TODO headlines
  141. This feature is the same as ~org-fontify-done-headline~, but for TODO
  142. headlines instead. This allows you to distinguish TODO headlines from
  143. normal headlines. The face can be customized via ~org-headline-todo~.
  144. *** C-n, C-p, SPC and DEL in agenda commands dispatch window
  145. You can now use =C-n=, =C-p=, =SPC= and =DEL= key to scroll up and
  146. down the agenda and attach dispatch window.
  147. *** =<C-c C-c>= in agenda calls ~org-agenda-set-tags~
  148. Both =<C-c C-q>= and =<C-c C-c>= set the tags of the headline in the
  149. Org buffer. Both keybindings are now available from the agenda too.
  150. *** New option in ~org-attach-store-link-p~
  151. ~org-attach-store-link-p~ has a new option to store a file link to the
  152. attachment.
  153. *** New default value for ~org-file-apps~
  154. The new value uses Emacs as the application for opening directory.
  155. *** Allowed empty HTML extension
  156. Using =(setq org-html-extension "")= or setting the HTML extension in
  157. any fashing will produce the expected output, with no trailing period
  158. to the resulting HTML file.
  159. *** New =org-refile.el= file
  160. Org refile variables and functions have been moved to a new file.
  161. *** The end of a 7 years old bug
  162. This bug [[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-08/msg00072.html][originally reported]] by Matt Lundin and investigated by Andrew
  163. Hyatt has been fixed. Thanks to both of them.
  164. * Version 9.3
  165. ** Incompatible changes
  166. *** Change bracket link escaping syntax
  167. Org used to percent-encode sensitive characters in the URI part of the
  168. bracket links.
  169. Now, escaping mechanism uses the usual backslash character, according
  170. to the following rules:
  171. 1. All =[= and =]= characters in the URI must be escaped;
  172. 2. Every =\= character preceding either =[= or =]= must be escaped;
  173. 3. Every =\= character at the end of the URI must be escaped.
  174. When in doubt, use the function ~org-link-escape~ in order to turn
  175. a link string into its properly escaped form.
  176. The following function will help switching your links to the new
  177. syntax:
  178. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  179. (defun org-update-link-syntax (&optional no-query)
  180. "Update syntax for links in current buffer.
  181. Query before replacing a link, unless optional argument NO-QUERY
  182. is non-nil."
  183. (interactive "P")
  184. (org-with-point-at 1
  185. (let ((case-fold-search t))
  186. (while (re-search-forward "\\[\\[[^]]*?%\\(?:2[05]\\|5[BD]\\)" nil t)
  187. (let ((object (save-match-data (org-element-context))))
  188. (when (and (eq 'link (org-element-type object))
  189. (= (match-beginning 0)
  190. (org-element-property :begin object)))
  191. (goto-char (org-element-property :end object))
  192. (let* ((uri-start (+ 2 (match-beginning 0)))
  193. (uri-end (save-excursion
  194. (goto-char uri-start)
  195. (re-search-forward "\\][][]" nil t)
  196. (match-beginning 0)))
  197. (uri (buffer-substring-no-properties uri-start uri-end)))
  198. (when (or no-query
  199. (y-or-n-p
  200. (format "Possibly obsolete URI syntax: %S. Fix? "
  201. uri)))
  202. (setf (buffer-substring uri-start uri-end)
  203. (org-link-escape (org-link-decode uri)))))))))))
  204. #+end_src
  205. The old ~org-link-escape~ and ~org-link-unescape~ functions have been
  206. renamed into ~org-link-encode~ and ~org-link-decode~.
  207. *** Change match group number in ~org-link-bracket-re~
  208. Link description, if any, is located in match group 2 instead of match
  209. group 3.
  210. *** ob-clojure does not auto prepend ~(ns ..)~ statement anymore
  211. When tangling, user usually just wants to tangle literally code instead
  212. of prepend inserting a ~(ns ..)~ statement before source block
  213. code. Now, when you have no ~:ns~ header argument specified, this
  214. behavior will not happen automatically.
  215. *** Change in behavior on exit from an Org edit buffer
  216. Org will no longer attempt to restore the window configuration in the
  217. frame to which the user returns after editing a source block with
  218. ~org-edit-src-code~. Instead, the window configuration will remain as
  219. it is.
  220. *** Change default value for ~org-email-link-description-format~
  221. When linking from a mail buffer, Org used to truncate the subject of
  222. the message to 30 characters in order to build the description of the
  223. link. This behavior was considered as too surprising. As
  224. a consequence, Org no longer truncates subjects.
  225. You can get the old behavior back with the following:
  226. : (setq org-email-link-description-format "Email %c: %.30s")
  227. *** ~:file~ header argument no longer assume "file" ~:results~
  228. The "file" ~:results~ value is now mandatory for a code block
  229. returning a link to a file. The ~:file~ or ~:file-ext~ header
  230. arguments no longer imply a "file" result is expected.
  231. *** Plain numbers are hours in Column View mode
  232. See [[git:3367ac9457]] for details.
  233. *** All LaTeX preview backends use now xcolor
  234. The dvipng backend was previously relying on fg and bg parameters to
  235. be passed to the CLI. This didn't work when xcolor was directly or
  236. indirectly used in the document (e.g. tkiz is a user of xcolor). Since
  237. every other backend was already using xcolor to set fg and bg, the CLI
  238. alternative was removed and there is no more a :use-xcolor options
  239. since now it's implicitly always true.
  240. *** Org-Attach Git commit
  241. [[*Org-Attach has been refactored and extended][Refactoring of Org-Attach]] affected the Git commit functionality. Not
  242. much, but the following changes are required if you still need to
  243. auto-commit attachments to git:
  244. - Customization of ~org-attach-annex-auto-get~ needs to be renamed to
  245. ~org-attach-git-annex-auto-get~.
  246. - Customization of ~org-attach-commit~ is no longer needed. Instead
  247. one need to require the =org-attach-git= module in the startup.
  248. ** New features
  249. *** New option to wrap source code lines in HTML export
  250. When new option ~html-wrap-src-lines~ (with variable
  251. ~org-html-wrap-src-lines~) is non-nil, HTML export wraps source code
  252. lines in HTML ~code~ elements.
  253. *** New option to handle schedules and deadlines in iCalendar export
  254. Export ignore done tasks with a deadline when
  255. ~org-icalendar-use-deadline~ contains ~event-if-todo-not-done~.
  256. Likewise, scheduled done tasks are also ignored when
  257. ~org-icalendar-use-scheduled~ contains the same symbol.
  258. *** Add ~split-window-right~ option for src block edit window placement
  259. Given the increasing popularity of wide screen monitors, splitting
  260. horizontally may make more sense than splitting vertically. An
  261. option, ~split-window-right~, to request horizontal splitting has been
  262. added to ~org-src-window-setup~.
  263. *** Org-Attach has been refactored and extended
  264. Org attach has been refactored and the functionality extended. It
  265. should now be easier to understand how it works. A few improvements
  266. and extra options have been added as well.
  267. From the initial comment in org-attach source-code:
  268. - Attachments are managed either by using a custom property DIR or by
  269. using property ID from org-id. When DIR is defined, a location in
  270. the filesystem is directly attached to the outline node. When
  271. org-id is used, attachments are stored in a folder named after the
  272. ID, in a location defined by ~org-attach-id-dir~. DIR has
  273. precedence over ID when both parameters are defined for the current
  274. outline node (also when inherited parameters are taken into
  275. account).
  276. From now on inheritance requires no extra property and will adhere to
  277. ~org-attach-use-inheritance~ by default. Inheritance can be
  278. customized to always be activated or never be activated in
  279. ~org-attach-use-inheritance~.
  280. The ATTACH_DIR property is deprecated in favor of the shorter
  281. property DIR. Links to folders inside the DIR property can now be
  282. declared as relative links. This is not enabled by default, but can
  283. be set in ~org-attach-dir-relative~.
  284. When adding new attachment to the outline node the preferred way of
  285. doing so can be customized. Take a look at
  286. ~org-attach-preferred-new-method~. It defaults to using ID since that
  287. was the behavior before this change.
  288. If both DIR and ID properties are set on the same node, DIR has
  289. precedence and will be used.
  290. One can now also choose to build attachment-directory-paths in a
  291. customized way. This is an advanced topic, but in some case it makes
  292. sense to parse an ID in a different way than the default one. Create
  293. your own function and add it to the beginning of
  294. ~org-attach-id-to-path-function~list~ if you want to customize the ID
  295. based folder structure.
  296. If you've used ATTACH_DIR properties to manage attachments, use the
  297. following code to rename that property to DIR which supports the same
  298. functionality. ATTACH_DIR_INHERIT is no longer supported and is
  299. removed.
  300. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  301. (defun org-update-attach-properties ()
  302. "Change properties for Org-Attach."
  303. (interactive)
  304. (org-with-point-at 1
  305. (while (outline-next-heading)
  306. (let ((DIR (org--property-local-values "ATTACH_DIR" nil)))
  307. (when DIR
  308. (org-set-property "DIR" (car DIR))
  309. (org-delete-property "ATTACH_DIR"))))
  310. (org-delete-property-globally "ATTACH_DIR_INHERIT")))
  311. #+end_src
  312. For those who hate breaking changes, even though the changes are made
  313. to clean things up; fear not. ATTACH_DIR will still continue to work.
  314. It's just not documented any longer. When you get the chance, run the
  315. code above to clean things up anyways!
  316. **** New hooks
  317. Two hooks are added to org-attach:
  318. - org-attach-after-change-hook
  319. - org-attach-open-hook
  320. They are added mostly for internal restructuring purposes, but can
  321. ofc. be used for other things as well.
  322. *** New link-type: Attachment
  323. Attachment-links are now first-class citizens. They mimic file-links
  324. in everything they do but use the existing attachment-folder as a base
  325. when expanding the links. Both =DIR= and =ID= properties are used to
  326. try to resolve the links, in exactly the same way as Org-Attach uses
  327. those properties.
  328. *** Handle overlay specification for notes in Beamer export
  329. This aligns Beamer notes with slide overlays.
  330. *** Add support for lettered lists in Texinfo
  331. Using =:enum A= or =:enum a= Texinfo attribute switches an otherwise
  332. numbered list to a lettered list.
  333. *** Add a dispatcher command to insert dynamic blocks
  334. You can add new dynamic blocks with function
  335. ~org-dynamic-block-define~. All such dynamic blocks can be used by
  336. ~org-dynamic-block-insert-dblock~ command.
  337. *** Babel
  338. **** ob-emacs-lisp sets ~lexical-binding~ in Org edit buffers
  339. When editing an Elisp src block, the editing buffer's
  340. ~lexical-binding~ is set according to the src block's =:lexical=
  341. parameter.
  342. **** Add LaTeX output support in PlantUML
  343. *** New minor mode to display headline numbering
  344. Use =<M-x org-num-mode>= to get a visual indication of the numbering
  345. in the outline. The numbering is also automatically updated upon
  346. changes in the buffer.
  347. *** New property =HTML_HEADLINE_CLASS= in HTML export
  348. The new property =HTML_HEADLINE_CLASS= assigns a class attribute to
  349. a headline.
  350. *** Allow LaTeX attributes and captions for "table.el" tables
  351. Supported LaTeX attributes are ~:float~, ~:center~, ~:font~ and
  352. ~:caption~.
  353. *** Attach buffer contents to headline
  354. With =<b>= key from attachment dispatcher (=<C-c C-a>=), it is now
  355. possible to write the contents of a buffer to a file in the headline
  356. attachment directory.
  357. *** iCalendar export respects a =CLASS= property
  358. Set the =CLASS= property on an entry to specify a visibility class for
  359. that entry only during iCalendar export. The property can be set to
  360. anything the calendar server supports. The iCalendar standard defines
  361. the values =PUBLIC=, =CONFIDENTIAL=, =PRIVATE=, which can be
  362. interpreted as publicly visible, accessible to a specific group, and
  363. private respectively.
  364. This property can be inherited during iCalendar export, depending on
  365. the value of ~org-use-property-inheritance~.
  366. *** New parameter for =INCLUDE= keyword
  367. Add =:coding CODING-SYSTEM= to include files using a different coding
  368. system than the main Org document. For example:
  369. #+begin_example
  370. ,#+INCLUDE: "myfile.cmd" src cmd :coding cp850-dos
  371. #+end_example
  372. *** New values in clock tables' step: =month= and =year=
  373. *** ODT export handles numbers cookies in lists
  374. *** New cell movement functions in tables
  375. ~S-<UP>~, ~S-<DOWN>~, ~S-<RIGHT>~, and ~S-<LEFT>~ now move cells in
  376. the corresponding direction by swapping with the adjacent cell.
  377. *** New option to natively fontify LaTeX snippets and environments
  378. A 'native option was added to org-highlight-latex-and-related. It
  379. matches the same structures than 'latex but it calls
  380. org-src-font-lock-fontify-block instead, thus bringing about full
  381. LaTeX font locking.
  382. *** ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ learned to shift backward in time
  383. =<C-c C-x c>= (~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~) now takes a
  384. negative value as a valid repeater to shift time stamps in backward
  385. in cloned subtrees. You can give, for example, ‘-3d’ to shift three
  386. days in the past.
  387. *** Toggle display of all vs. undone scheduled habits conveniently
  388. =<C-u K>= (~org-habit-toggle-display-in-agenda~) in an agenda toggles
  389. the display of all habits to those which are undone and scheduled.
  390. This is a function for convenience.
  391. *** New parameter for SQL Babel blocks: ~:dbconnection~
  392. The new parameter ~:dbconnection~ allows to specify a connection name
  393. in a SQL block header: this name is used to look up connection
  394. parameters in ~sql-connection-alist~.
  395. *** New =:scale= attribute supported by LaTeX exporters
  396. The builtin "latex" exporters now accept and use a =:scale= attribute,
  397. which scales an image by a given factor.
  398. This attribute is wrapped around the =scale= parameter of LaTeX's
  399. =\includegraphics= (bitmap images) or a TiKZ's =\scalebox=.
  400. Therefore, its value should be some string palatable to LaTeX as
  401. a positive float Its default value is an empty string (i.e. disabled).
  402. This attribute overrides the =:width= and =:height= attributes.
  403. #+begin_example
  404. ,#+name: Beastie
  405. ,#+caption: I think I saw this curious horse already, but where ?
  406. ,#+LATEX_ATTR: :scale 2
  407. [[https://orgmode.org/img/org-mode-unicorn-logo.png]]
  408. #+end_example
  409. *** Allow specifying the target for a table of contents
  410. The =+TOC= keyword now accepts a =:target:= attribute that specifies
  411. the headline to use for making the table of contents.
  412. #+begin_example
  413. ,* Target
  414. :PROPERTIES:
  415. :CUSTOM_ID: TargetSection
  416. :END:
  417. ,** Heading A
  418. ,** Heading B
  419. ,* Another section
  420. ,#+TOC: headlines 1 :target "#TargetSection"
  421. #+end_example
  422. ** New functions
  423. *** ~org-dynamic-block-insert-dblock~
  424. Use default keybinding =<C-c C-x x>= to run command
  425. ~org-dynamic-block-insert-dblock~. It will prompt user to select
  426. dynamic block in ~org-dynamic-block-alist~.
  427. *** ~org-table-cell-up~
  428. *** ~org-table-cell-down~
  429. *** ~org-table-cell-left~
  430. *** ~org-table-cell-right~
  431. *** ~org-habit-toggle-display-in-agenda~
  432. ** Removed functions and variables
  433. *** Removed Org Drill
  434. You can install it back from MELPA.
  435. *** ~org-babel-set-current-result-hash~
  436. *** ~org-capture-insert-template-here~
  437. *** ~org-attach-directory~
  438. It has been deprecated in favor of ~org-attach-id-dir~ which is less
  439. ambiguous given the restructured org-attach.
  440. *** ~org-enable-fixed-width-editor~
  441. This variable was not used through the code base.
  442. ** Miscellaneous
  443. *** Change signature for ~org-list-to-subtree~
  444. The function now accepts the level of the subtree as an optional
  445. argument. It no longer deduces it from the current level.
  446. *** LaTeX preview is simplified
  447. Function ~org-latex-preview~, formerly known as
  448. ~org-toggle-latex-fragment~, has a hopefully simpler and more
  449. predictable behavior. See its docstring for details.
  450. *** ~org-table-copy-down~ supports patterns
  451. When ~org-table-copy-increment~ is non-nil, it is now possible to
  452. increment fields like =A1=, or =0A=, i.e., any string prefixed or
  453. suffixed with a whole number.
  454. *** No more special indentation for description items
  455. Descriptions items are indented like regular ones, i.e., text starts
  456. after the bullet. Special indentation used to introduce bugs when
  457. inserting sub-items in a description list.
  458. *** New hook: ~org-todo-repeat-hook~
  459. This hook was actually introduced in Org 9.2.1, but wasn't advertised.
  460. *** Org Table reads numbers starting with 0 as strings
  461. *** Disable fast tag selection interface via prefix arg
  462. A call of ~org-set-tags-command~ with prefix argument C-u C-u avoids
  463. the fast tag selection interface and instead offers the plain
  464. interface.
  465. *** ~:mkdirp~ now supports create directory for ~:dir~ path
  466. The ~:mkdirp~ header argument used to only work for ~:tangle~ tangle
  467. files. Now ~:mkdirp~ works for ~:dir~ too. This is more convenient for
  468. specify default directory and with ~:file~ header argument.
  469. *** New variable: ~org-agenda-breadcrumbs-separator~
  470. If breadcrumbs are showed in org-agenda with the help of "%b" format
  471. in ~org-agenda-prefix-format~, user can customize breadcrumbs's
  472. separator using ~org-agenda-breadcrumbs-separator~.
  473. *** New variable ~org-attach-commands~
  474. This variable makes it possible to customize the list of commands for
  475. the attachment dispatcher.
  476. *** New ID method based on timestamp
  477. If one chooses, it is now possible to create ID's based on timestamp
  478. (ISO8601) instead of UUID by changing org-id-method to ts.
  479. For an improved folder structure when using timestamp as ID, make sure
  480. to promote ~org-attach-id-ts-folder-format~ to the first element of
  481. ~org-attach-id-to-path-function-list~ in your configuration at the
  482. same time.
  483. *** New customization: ~org-id-locations-relative~
  484. New customization to make the persisting of org-id-locations between
  485. sessions to store links to files as relative instead of absolute. The
  486. links will be stored as relative to the path of org-id-locations-file.
  487. *** ~org-ctrl-c-tab~ is functional before the first headline
  488. I.e. treat the whole file as if it was a subtree.
  489. Also fold everything below the chosen level. Former behavior was to
  490. leave unfolded subtrees unfolded.
  491. *** ~org-kill-note-or-show-branches~ is functional before the first headline
  492. I.e. treat the whole file as if it was a subtree.
  493. *** Respect narrowing when agenda command is restricted to buffer
  494. * Version 9.2
  495. ** Incompatible changes
  496. *** Removal of OrgStruct mode mode and radio lists
  497. OrgStruct minor mode and radio lists mechanism (~org-list-send-list~
  498. and ~org-list-radio-lists-templates~) are removed from the code base.
  499. Note that only radio /lists/ have been removed, not radio tables.
  500. If you want to manipulate lists like in Org in other modes, we suggest
  501. to use =orgalist.el=, which you can install from GNU ELPA.
  502. If you want to use Org folding outside of Org buffers, you can have a
  503. look at the outshine package in the MELPA repository.
  504. *** Change in the structure template expansion
  505. Org 9.2 comes with a new template expansion mechanism, combining
  506. ~org-insert-structure-template~ bound to ~C-c C-,~.
  507. If you customized the ~org-structure-template-alist~ option manually,
  508. you probably need to update it, see the docstring for accepted values.
  509. If you prefer using previous patterns, e.g. =<s=, you can activate
  510. them again by requiring Org Tempo library:
  511. : (require 'org-tempo)
  512. or add it to ~org-modules~.
  513. If you need complex templates, look at the ~tempo-define-template~
  514. function or at solutions like Yasnippet.
  515. *** Change to Noweb expansion
  516. Expansion check =:noweb-ref= only if no matching named block is found
  517. in the buffer. As a consequence, any =:noweb-ref= value matching the
  518. name of a source block in the buffer is ignored. A simple fix is to
  519. give every concerned source-block, including the named one, a new,
  520. unique, Noweb reference.

  546. *** Default/accepted values of ~org-calendar-to-agenda-key~
  547. The default value and accepted value of ~org-calendar-to-agenda-key~
  548. changed. This is an excerpt of the new docstring:
  549. : When set to ‘default’, bind the function to ‘c’, but only if it is
  550. : available in the Calendar keymap. This is the default choice because
  551. : ‘c’ can then be used to switch back and forth between agenda and calendar.
  552. :
  553. : When nil, ‘org-calendar-goto-agenda’ is not bound to any key.
  554. Check the full docstring for more.
  555. *** Change the signature of the ~org-set-effort~ function
  556. Here is the new docstring:
  557. : (org-set-effort &optional INCREMENT VALUE)
  558. :
  559. : Set the effort property of the current entry.
  560. : If INCREMENT is non-nil, set the property to the next allowed
  561. : value. Otherwise, if optional argument VALUE is provided, use
  562. : it. Eventually, prompt for the new value if none of the previous
  563. : variables is set.
  564. *** Placeholders in =(eval ...)= macros are always strings
  565. Within =(eval ...)= macros, =$1=-like placeholders are always replaced
  566. with a string. As a consequence, they must not be enclosed within
  567. quotes. As an illustration, consider the following, now valid,
  568. examples:
  569. #+begin_example
  570. ,#+macro: join (eval (concat $1 $2))
  571. ,#+macro: sum (eval (+ (string-to-number $1) (string-to-number $2)))
  572. {{{join(a,b)}}} => ab
  573. {{{sum(1,2)}}} => 3
  574. #+end_example
  575. However, there is no change in non-eval macros:
  576. #+begin_example
  577. ,#+macro: disp argument: $1
  578. {{{disp(text)}}} => argument: text
  579. #+end_example
  580. *** =align= STARTUP value no longer narrow table columns
  581. Columns narrowing (or shrinking) is now dynamic. See [[*Dynamically
  582. narrow table columns]] for details. In particular, it is decoupled from
  583. aligning.
  584. If you need to automatically shrink columns upon opening an Org
  585. document, use =shrink= value instead, or in addition to align:
  586. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  587. ,#+STARTUP: align shrink
  588. #+END_EXAMPLE
  589. *** ~org-get-tags~ meaning change
  590. Function ~org-get-tags~ used to return local tags to the current
  591. headline. It now returns all the inherited tags in addition to the
  592. local tags. In order to get the old behavior back, you can use:
  593. : (org-get-tags nil t)
  594. *** Alphabetic sorting in tables and lists
  595. When sorting alphabetically, ~org-table-sort-lines~ and ~org-sort-list~
  596. now sort according to the locale’s collation rules instead of by
  597. code-point.
  598. *** Change the name of the :tags clocktable option to :match
  599. The =:match= (renamed from =:tags=) option allows to limit clock entries
  600. to those matching a todo-tags matcher.
  601. The old =:tags= option can be set to =t= to display a headline's tags in a
  602. dedicated column.
  603. This is consistent with the naming of =org-dblock-write:columnview=
  604. options, where =:match= is also used as a headlines filter.
  605. ** New features
  606. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-clojure for CIDER
  607. You can initialize source block session with Babel default keybinding
  608. =[C-c C-v C-z]= to use =sesman= session manager to link current
  609. project, directory or buffer with specific Clojure session, or
  610. =cider-jack-in= a new CIDER REPL if no CIDER REPLs available. In older
  611. CIDER version which has not =sesman= integrated, only has
  612. =cider-jack-in= without Clojure project is supported.
  613. #+begin_src clojure :session
  614. (dissoc Clojure 'JVM)
  615. (conj clojurists "stardiviner")
  616. #+end_src
  617. *** Add ~:results link~ support for Babel
  618. With this output format, create a link to the file specified in
  619. ~:file~ header argument, without actually writing any result to it:
  620. #+begin_example
  621. ,#+begin_src shell :dir "data/tmp" :results link :file "crackzor_1.0.c.gz"
  622. wget -c "http://ben.akrin.com/crackzor/crackzor_1.0.c.gz"
  623. ,#+end_src
  624. ,#+results:
  625. [[file:data/tmp/crackzor_1.0.c.gz]]
  626. #+end_example
  627. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-js for js-comint
  628. #+begin_src js :session "*Javascript REPL*"
  629. console.log("stardiviner")
  630. #+end_src
  631. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-js for Indium
  632. #+begin_src js :session "*JS REPL*"
  633. console.log("stardiviner")
  634. #+end_src
  635. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-js for skewer-mode
  636. #+begin_src js :session "*skewer-repl*"
  637. console.log("stardiviner")
  638. #+end_src
  639. *** Add support for links to LaTeX equations in HTML export
  640. Use MathJax links when enabled (by ~org-html-with-latex~), otherwise
  641. add a label to the rendered equation.
  642. *** Org Tempo may used for snippet expansion of structure template.
  643. See manual and the commentary section in ~org-tempo.el~ for details.
  644. *** Exclude unnumbered headlines from table of contents
  645. Set their =UNNUMBERED= property to the special =notoc= value. See
  646. manual for details.
  647. *** ~org-archive~ functions update status cookies
  648. Archiving headers through ~org-archive-subtree~ and
  649. ~org-archive-to-archive-sibling~ such as the ones listed below:
  650. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  651. ,* Top [1/2]
  652. ,** DONE Completed
  653. ,** TODO Working
  654. #+END_SRC
  655. Will update the status cookie in the top level header.
  656. *** Disable =org-agenda-overriding-header= by setting to empty string
  657. The ~org-agenda-overriding-header~ inserted into agenda views can now
  658. be disabled by setting it to an empty string.
  659. *** Dynamically narrow table columns
  660. With ~C-c TAB~, it is now possible to narrow a column to the width
  661. specified by a width cookie in the column, or to 1 character if there
  662. is no such cookie. The same keybinding expands a narrowed column to
  663. its previous state.
  664. Editing the column automatically expands the whole column to its full
  665. size.
  666. *** =org-columns-summary-types= entries can take an optional COLLECT function
  667. You can use this to make collection of a property from an entry
  668. conditional on another entry. E.g. given this configuration:
  669. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  670. (defun custom/org-collect-confirmed (property)
  671. "Return `PROPERTY' for `CONFIRMED' entries"
  672. (let ((prop (org-entry-get nil property))
  673. (confirmed (org-entry-get nil "CONFIRMED")))
  674. (if (and prop (string= "[X]" confirmed))
  675. prop
  676. "0")))
  677. (setq org-columns-summary-types
  678. '(("X+" org-columns--summary-sum
  679. custom/org-collect-confirmed)))
  680. #+END_SRC
  681. You can have a file =bananas.org= containing:
  682. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  683. ,#+columns: %ITEM %CONFIRMED %Bananas{+} %Bananas(Confirmed Bananas){X+}
  684. ,* All shipments
  685. ,** Shipment 1
  686. :PROPERTIES:
  687. :CONFIRMED: [X]
  688. :Bananas: 4
  689. :END:
  690. ,** Shipment 2
  691. :PROPERTIES:
  692. :CONFIRMED: [ ]
  693. :BANANAS: 7
  694. :END:
  695. #+END_SRC
  696. ... and when going to the top of that file and entering column view
  697. you should expect to see something like:
  698. | ITEM | CONFIRMED | Bananas | Confirmed Bananas |
  699. |---------------+-----------+---------+-------------------|
  700. | All shipments | | 11 | 4 |
  701. | Shipment 1 | [X] | 4 | 4 |
  702. | Shipment 2 | [ ] | 7 | 7 |
  703. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  704. ,#+STARTUP: shrink
  705. #+END_EXAMPLE
  706. *** Allow to filter by tags/property when capturing colview
  707. You can now use =:match= to filter entries using a todo/tags/properties
  708. matcher.
  709. *** Add support for Oracle's database alias in Babel blocks
  710. =ob-sql= library already support running SQL blocks against an Oracle
  711. database using ~sqlplus~. Now it's possible to use alias names
  712. defined in =TNSNAMES= file instead of specifying full connection
  713. parameters. See example below.
  714. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  715. you can use the previous full connection parameters
  716. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine oracle :dbuser me :dbpassword my_insecure_password :database my_db_name :dbhost my_db_host :dbport 1521
  717. select sysdate from dual;
  718. ,#+END_SRC
  719. or the alias defined in your TNSNAMES file
  720. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine oracle :dbuser me :dbpassword my_insecure_password :database my_tns_alias
  721. select sysdate from dual;
  722. ,#+END_SRC
  723. #+END_SRC
  724. *** ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock~ toggle agenda restriction at point
  725. You can set an agenda restriction lock with =C-x C-x <= or with =<= at the
  726. beginning of a headline when using Org speed commands. Now, if there
  727. is already a restriction at point, hitting =<= again (or =C-x C-x <=) will
  728. remove it.
  729. *** Headlines can now link to themselves in HTML export
  730. When enabling ~org-html-self-link-headlines~ the headlines exported to
  731. HTML contain a hyperlink to themselves.
  732. ** New commands and functions
  733. *** ~org-insert-structure-template~
  734. This function can be used to wrap existing text of Org elements in
  735. a #+BEGIN_FOO/#+END_FOO block. Bound to C-c C-x w by default.
  736. *** ~org-export-excluded-from-toc-p~
  737. See docstring for details.
  738. *** ~org-timestamp-to-time~
  739. *** ~org-timestamp-from-string~
  740. *** ~org-timestamp-from-time~
  741. *** ~org-attach-dired-to-subtree~
  742. See docstring for details.
  743. *** ~org-toggle-narrow-to-subtree~
  744. Toggle the narrowing state of the buffer: when in a narrowed state,
  745. widen, otherwise call ~org-narrow-to-subtree~ to narrow.
  746. This is attached to the "s" speed command, so that hitting "s" twice
  747. will go back to the widen state.
  748. *** ~org-browse-news~
  749. Browse https://orgmode.org/Changes.html to let users read information
  750. about the last major release.
  751. There is a new menu entry for this in the "Documentation" menu item.
  752. *** ~org-info-find-node~
  753. From an Org file or an agenda switch to a suitable info page depending
  754. on the context.
  755. The function is bound to =C-c C-x I=.
  756. ** Removed commands and functions
  757. *** ~org-outline-overlay-data~
  758. Use ~org-save-outline-visibility~ instead.
  759. *** ~org-set-outline-overlay-data~
  760. Use ~org-save-outline-visibility~ instead.
  761. *** ~org-get-string-indentation~
  762. It was not used throughout the code base.
  763. *** ~org-fix-indentation~
  764. It was not used throughout code base.
  765. *** ~org-context-p~
  766. Use ~org-element-at-point~ instead.
  767. *** ~org-preserve-lc~
  768. It is no longer used in the code base.
  769. *** ~org-try-structure-completion~
  770. Org Tempo may be used as a replacement. See details above.
  771. ** Removed options
  772. *** org-babel-use-quick-and-dirty-noweb-expansion
  773. See [[*Change to Noweb expansion][Change to Noweb expansion]] for explanations.
  774. ** Miscellaneous
  775. *** New default value for ~org-texinfo-table-scientific-notation~
  776. It is now nil, which means numbers in scientific notation are not
  777. handled specially by default.
  778. *** New default value for ~org-latex-table-scientific-notation~
  779. It is now nil, which means numbers in scientific notation are not
  780. handled specially by default.
  781. *** New face: ~org-upcoming-distant-deadline~
  782. It is meant to be used as the face for distant deadlines, see
  783. ~org-agenda-deadline-faces~
  784. *** ~org-paste-subtree~ no longer breaks sections
  785. Unless point is at the beginning of a headline, ~org-paste-subtree~
  786. now pastes the tree before the next visible headline. If you need to
  787. break the section, use ~org-yank~ instead.
  788. *** ~org-table-insert-column~ inserts a column to the right
  789. It used to insert it on the left. With this change,
  790. ~org-table-insert-column~ and ~org-table-delete-column~ are
  791. reciprocal.
  792. *** ~org-publish-resolve-external-link~ accepts a new optional argument.
  793. *** ~org-irc.el~ now supports exporting =irc:= links properly
  794. Previously, irc links were exported by ~ox-md~ and ~ox-html~ as normal
  795. file links, which lead to them being broken in web browsers. Now both
  796. of these exporters will properly export to =irc:= links, which will
  797. open properly in irc clients from web browsers.
  798. *** ~org-comment-dwim~ (bound to =M-;=) now comments headings, if point is on a heading
  799. *** Add support for open source block in window below
  800. Set option ~org-src-window-setup~ to ~split-window-below~.
  801. *** Alphabetic sorting in headings and tags now uses the locale’s sorting rules
  802. When sorting alphabetically, ~org-sort-entries~ and
  803. ~org-tags-sort-function~ now sort according to the locale’s collation
  804. rules instead of by code-point.
  805. *** New speed command "k" to kill (cut) the subtree at point
  806. * Version 9.1
  807. ** Incompatible changes
  808. *** Variables relative to clocksum duration are obsolete
  809. ~org-time-clocksum-format~, ~org-time-clocksum-use-fractional~ and
  810. ~org-time-clocksum-fractional-format~ are obsolete. If you changed
  811. them, consider modifying ~org-duration-format~ instead.
  812. Variable ~org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations~ is also obsolete.
  813. Consider setting ~org-duration-units~ instead.
  814. *** ~org-at-timestamp-p~ optional argument accepts different values
  815. See docstrings for the allowed values. For backward compatibility,
  816. ~(org-at-timestamp-p t)~ is still supported, but should be updated
  817. accordingly.
  818. *** ~org-capture-templates~ no longer accepts S-expressions as file names
  819. Since functions are allowed there, a straightforward way to migrate
  820. is to turn, e.g.,
  821. : (file (sexp))
  822. into
  823. : (file (lambda () (sexp)))
  824. *** Deleted contributed packages
  825. =org-ebib.el, =org-bullets.el= and =org-mime.el= have been deleted
  826. from the contrib/ directory.
  827. You can now find them here :
  828. - https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib
  829. - https://github.com/sabof/org-bullets
  830. - https://github.com/org-mime/org-mime
  831. *** Change ~org-texinfo-classes~ value
  832. The value cannot support functions to create sectioning commands
  833. anymore. Also, the sectioning commands should include commands for
  834. appendices. See the docstring for more information.
  835. *** Removal of ~:sitemap-sans-extension~
  836. The publishing property is no longer recognized, as a consequence of
  837. changes to site-map generation.
  838. You can get the same functionality by setting ~:sitemap-format-entry~
  839. to the following
  840. #+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  841. (lambda (entry style project)
  842. (cond ((not (directory-name-p entry))
  843. (format "[[file:%s][%s]]"
  844. (file-name-sans-extension entry)
  845. (org-publish-find-title entry project)))
  846. ((eq style 'tree) (file-name-nondirectory (directory-file-name entry)))
  847. (t entry)))
  848. #+END_SRC
  849. *** Change signature for ~:sitemap-function~
  850. ~:sitemap-function~ now expects to be called with two arguments. See
  851. ~org-publish-project-alist~ for details.
  852. *** Change signature for some properties in ~org-list-to-generic~
  853. ~:istart~, ~:icount~, ~:iend~ and ~:isep~ now expect the type of the
  854. list as their first argument.
  855. *** Change signature for ~org-get-repeater~
  856. The optional argument is now a string to extract the repeater from.
  857. See docstring for details.
  858. *** Change signature for ~org-time-string-to-time~
  859. See docstring for changes.
  860. *** Change order of items in ~org-agenda-time-grid~
  861. ~org-agenda-time-grid~ gained an extra item to allow users to customize
  862. the string displayed after times in the agenda. See docstring for
  863. details.
  864. *** ~tags-todo~ custom searches now include DONE keywords
  865. Use "/!" markup when filtering TODO keywords to get only not-done TODO
  866. keywords.
  867. *** ~org-split-string~ returns ~("")~ when called on an empty string
  868. It used to return nil.
  869. *** Removal of =ob-scala.el=
  870. See [[https://github.com/ensime/emacs-scala-mode/issues/114][this github issue]].
  871. You can use =ob-scala.el= as packaged in scala-mode, available from the
  872. MELPA repository.
  873. ** New features
  874. *** iCalendar export uses inheritance for TIMEZONE and LOCATION properties
  875. Both these properties can be inherited during iCalendar export,
  876. depending on the value of ~org-use-property-inheritance~.
  877. *** iCalendar export respects a TIMEZONE property
  878. Set the TIMEZONE property on an entry to specify a time zone for that
  879. entry only during iCalendar export. The property value should be
  880. specified as in "Europe/London".
  881. *** ~org-attach~ can move directory contents
  882. When setting a new directory for an entry, org-attach offers to move
  883. files over from the old directory. Using a prefix arg will reset the
  884. directory to old, ID based one.
  885. *** New Org duration library
  886. This new library implements tools to read and print time durations in
  887. various formats (e.g., "H:MM", or "1d 2h 3min"...).
  888. See ~org-duration-to-minutes~ and ~org-duration-from-minutes~
  889. docstrings.
  890. *** Agenda
  891. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~
  892. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~
  893. **** New variable : ~org-deadline-past-days~
  894. See docstring for details.
  895. **** Binding C-c C-x < for ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  896. **** New auto-align default setting for =org-agenda-tags-column=
  897. =org-agenda-tags-column= can now be set to =auto=, which will
  898. automatically align tags to the right edge of the window. This is now
  899. the default setting.
  900. *** New value for ~org-publish-sitemap-sort-folders~
  901. The new ~ignore~ value effectively allows toggling inclusion of
  902. directories in published site-maps.
  903. *** Babel
  904. **** Scheme: support for tables
  905. **** Scheme: new variable: ~org-babel-scheme-null-to~
  906. This new custom option allows you to use an empty list or null symbol to
  907. format the table output, initially assigned to ~hlines~.
  908. **** Scheme: new header ~:prologue~
  909. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  910. developers to prepend code to the scheme block being processed.
  911. Multiple ~:prologue~ headers can be added each of them using a string
  912. with the content to be added.
  913. The scheme blocks are prepared by surrounding the code in the block
  914. with a let form. The content of the ~:prologue~ headers are prepended
  915. before this let form.
  916. **** Support for hledger accounting reports added
  917. **** Clojure: new setting ~org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout~
  918. Creation of a new setting to specify the Cider timeout. By setting
  919. the =org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout= setting option. The value
  920. is in seconds and if set to =nil= then no timeout will occur.
  921. **** Clojure: new header ~:show-process~
  922. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  923. developers to output the process of an ongoing process into a new
  924. window/buffer.
  925. You can tell Org Babel to output the process of a running code block.
  926. To show that output you only have to specify the =:show-process=
  927. option in the code block's header like this:
  928. #+begin_example
  929. ,#+BEGIN_SRC clojure :results output :show-process t
  930. (dotimes [n 10]
  931. (println n ".")
  932. (Thread/sleep 500))
  933. ,#+END_SRC
  934. #+end_example
  935. If =:show-process= is specified that way, then when you will run the
  936. code using =C-c C-c= a new window will open in Emacs. Everything that
  937. is output by the REPL will immediately be added to that new window.
  938. When the processing of the code is finished, then the window and its
  939. buffer will be closed and the results will be reported in the
  940. =#+RESULTS= section.
  941. Note that the =:results= parameter's behavior is *not* changed. If
  942. =silent= is specified, then no result will be displayed. If =output=
  943. is specified then all the output from the window will appears in the
  944. results section. If =value= is specified, then only the last returned
  945. value of the code will be displayed in the results section.
  946. **** Maxima: new headers ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~
  947. Babel options ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~ have been implemented for
  948. Maxima source blocks which prepend and append, respectively, the given
  949. code strings. This can be useful for specifying formatting settings
  950. which would add clutter to exported code. For instance, you can use
  951. this ~:prologue "fpprintprec: 2; linel: 50;"~ for presenting Maxima
  952. results in a beamer presentation.
  953. **** PlantUML: add support for header arguments
  954. [[http://plantuml.com/][Plantuml]] source blocks now support the [[https://orgmode.org/manual/prologue.html#prologue][~:prologue~]], [[https://orgmode.org/manual/epilogue.html#epilogue][~:epilogue~]] and
  955. [[https://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] header arguments.
  956. **** SQL: new engine added ~sqsh~
  957. A new engine was added to support ~sqsh~ command line utility for use
  958. against Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase SQL server.
  959. More information on ~sqsh~ can be found here: [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/sqsh/][sourceforge/sqsh]]
  960. To use ~sqsh~ in an *sql* =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  961. #+begin_example
  962. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine sqsh :dbhost my_host :dbuser master :dbpassword pass :database support
  963. Select * From Users
  964. Where clue > 0
  965. ,#+END_SRC
  966. #+end_example
  967. **** SQL: new engine added =vertica=
  968. A new engine was added to support vsql command line utility for use
  969. against HP Vertica.
  970. 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]]
  971. To use =vertica= in an sql =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  972. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  973. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine vertica :dbhost my_host :dbuser dbadmin :dbpassword pw :database vmart
  974. SELECT * FROM nodes;
  975. ,#+END_SRC
  976. #+END_EXAMPLE
  977. **** C++: New header ~:namespaces~
  978. The new ~:namespaces~ export option can be used to specify namespaces
  979. to be used within a C++ org source block. Its usage is similar to
  980. ~:includes~, in that it can accept multiple, space-separated
  981. namespaces to use. This header is equivalent to adding ~using
  982. namespace <name>;~ in the source block. Here is a "Hello World" in C++
  983. using ~:namespaces~:
  984. #+begin_example
  985. ,#+BEGIN_SRC C++ :results output :namespaces std :includes <iostream>
  986. cout << "Hello World" << endl;
  987. ,#+END_SRC
  988. #+end_example
  989. **** Support for Vala language
  990. [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala][Vala]] language blocks support two special header arguments:
  991. - ~:flags~ passes arguments to the compiler
  992. - ~:cmdline~ passes commandline arguments to the generated executable
  993. Support for [[https://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] does not exist yet, also there is no [[https://orgmode.org/manual/session.html#session][~:session~]]
  994. support because Vala is a compiled language.
  995. The Vala compiler binary can be changed via the ~defcustom~
  996. ~org-babel-vala-compiler~.
  997. *** New ~function~ scope argument for the Clock Table
  998. Added a nullary function that returns a list of files as a possible
  999. argument for the scope of the clock table.
  1000. *** Export
  1001. **** Implement vernacular table of contents in Markdown exporter
  1002. Global table of contents are generated using vanilla Markdown syntax
  1003. instead of HTML. Also #+TOC keyword, including local table of
  1004. contents, are now supported.
  1005. **** Add Slovenian translations
  1006. **** Implement ~org-export-insert-image-links~
  1007. This new function is meant to be used in back-ends supporting images
  1008. as descriptions of links, a.k.a. image links. See its docstring for
  1009. details.
  1010. **** New macro : ~{{{n}}}~
  1011. This macro creates and increment multiple counters in a document. See
  1012. manual for details.
  1013. **** Add global macros through ~org-export-global-macros~
  1014. With this variable, one can define macros available for all documents.
  1015. **** New keyword ~#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME~
  1016. Similarly to ~:EXPORT_FILE_NAME:~ property, this keyword allows the
  1017. user to specify the name of the output file upon exporting the
  1018. document. This also has an effect on publishing.
  1019. **** Horizontal rules are no longer ignored in LaTeX table math mode
  1020. **** Use ~compilation-mode~ for compilation output
  1021. **** Plain lists accept a new ~:separator~ attribute in Texinfo
  1022. The new ~:separator~ attribute splits a tag from a description list
  1023. item into multiple parts. This allows to have two-column tables with
  1024. multiple entries in the first column. See manual for more details.
  1025. **** ~latex-environment~ elements support ~caption~ keywords for LaTeX export
  1026. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit LaTeX environments
  1027. Using ~C-c '~ on a LaTeX environment opens a sub-editing buffer. By
  1028. default, major mode in that buffer is ~latex-mode~, but it can be
  1029. changed by configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~.
  1030. *** ~org-list-to-generic~ includes a new property: ~:ifmt~
  1031. ~:ifmt~ is a function to be called on the body of each item. See
  1032. ~org-list-to-generic~ documentation for details.
  1033. *** New variable : ~org-bibtex-headline-format-function~
  1034. This allow to use a different title than entry title.
  1035. *** ~org-attach~ supports attaching files from URLs
  1036. Using ~C-c C-a u~ prompts for a URL pointing to a file to be attached
  1037. to the document.
  1038. *** New option for ~org-refile-use-outline-path~
  1039. ~org-refile-use-outline-path~ now supports the setting ~buffer-name~,
  1040. which causes refile targets to be prefixed with the buffer’s
  1041. name. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with
  1042. ~uniquify.el~.
  1043. *** ~org-file-contents~ now allows the FILE argument to be a URL.
  1044. This allows ~#+SETUPFILE:~ to accept a URL instead of a local file
  1045. path. The URL contents are auto-downloaded and saved to a temporary
  1046. cache ~org--file-cache~. A new optional argument ~NOCACHE~ is added
  1047. to ~org-file-contents~.
  1048. *** ~org-mode-restart~ now resets the newly added ~org--file-cache~.
  1049. Using ~C-c C-c~ on any keyword (like ~#+SETUPFILE~) will reset the
  1050. that file cache.
  1051. *** New option : ~org-table-duration-hour-zero-padding~
  1052. This variable allow computed durations in tables to be zero-padded.
  1053. *** New mode switch for table formulas : =U=
  1054. This mode omits seconds in durations.
  1055. ** Removed functions
  1056. *** Org Timeline
  1057. This feature has been removed. Use a custom agenda view, possibly
  1058. narrowed to current buffer to achieve a similar functionality.
  1059. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  1060. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  1061. *** ~org-agenda-skip-subtree-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  1062. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  1063. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches-in-subtree~ is obsolete
  1064. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  1065. *** ~org-minutes-to-clocksum-string~ is obsolete
  1066. Use ~org-duration-from-minutes~ instead.
  1067. *** ~org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  1068. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  1069. *** ~org-duration-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  1070. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  1071. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-cached-article-number~ is removed.
  1072. This function relied on ~nnimap-group-overview-filename~, which was
  1073. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  1074. ** Removed options
  1075. *** ~org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all~ is removed.
  1076. For an equivalent to a =nil= value, set
  1077. ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~ to nil and
  1078. ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~ to =t=.
  1079. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-query-article-no-from-file~ is removed.
  1080. This variable has no effect, as it was relying on a function that was
  1081. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  1082. *** ~org-usenet-links-prefer-google~ is obsolete.
  1083. Use ~org-gnus-prefer-web-links~ instead.
  1084. *** ~org-publish-sitemap-file-entry-format~ is deprecated
  1085. One can provide new ~:sitemap-format-entry~ property for a function
  1086. equivalent to the removed format string.
  1087. *** ~org-enable-table-editor~ is removed.
  1088. Setting it to a =nil= value broke some other features (e.g., speed
  1089. keys).
  1090. *** ~org-export-use-babel~ cannot be set to ~inline-only~
  1091. The variable is now a boolean.
  1092. *** ~org-texinfo-def-table-markup~ is obsolete
  1093. Use ~org-texinfo-table-default-markup~ instead.
  1094. ** New functions
  1095. *** ~org-publish-find-property~
  1096. This function can be used as a tool to format entries in a site-map,
  1097. in addition to ~org-publish-find-title~ and ~org-publish-find-date~.
  1098. *** ~org-list-to-org~
  1099. It is the reciprocal of ~org-list-to-lisp~, which see.
  1100. *** ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  1101. Call ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock~ from the agenda.
  1102. ** Miscellaneous
  1103. *** The Library of Babel now on Worg
  1104. The library-of-babel.org used to be accessible from the =doc/=
  1105. directory, distributed with Org’s core. It is now accessible
  1106. from the Worg community-driven documentation [[https://orgmode.org/worg/library-of-babel.html][here]].
  1107. If you want to contribute to it, please see [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html][how to contribute]].
  1108. *** Allow multiple columns view
  1109. Columns view is not limited to a single buffer anymore.
  1110. *** Org Attach obeys ~dired-dwim-target~
  1111. When a Dired buffer is opened next to the Org document being edited,
  1112. the prompt for file to attach can start in the Dired buffer's
  1113. directory if `dired-dwim-target' in non-nil.
  1114. *** ~org-fill-paragraph~ can now fill a whole region
  1115. *** More specific anniversary descriptions
  1116. Anniversary descriptions (used in the agenda view, for instance)
  1117. include the point in time, when the anniversary appears. This is,
  1118. in its most general form, just the date of the anniversary. Or
  1119. more specific terms, like "today", "tomorrow" or "in n days" are
  1120. used to describe the time span.
  1121. This feature allows to automatically change the description of an
  1122. anniversary, depending on if it occurs in the next few days or
  1123. far away in the future.
  1124. *** Computed dates in tables appear as inactive time stamps
  1125. *** Save point before opening a file with an unknown search option
  1126. When following a file link with a search option (e.g., =::#custom-id=)
  1127. that doesn't exist in the target file, save position before raising an
  1128. error. As a consequence, it is possible to jump back to the original
  1129. document with ~org-mark-ring-goto~ (default binding =C-c &=).
  1130. *** ~org-get-heading~ accepts two more optional arguments
  1131. See docstring for details.
  1132. *** New option ~org-babel-uppercase-example-markers~
  1133. This variable is a ~defcustom~ and replaces the variable
  1134. ~org-babel-capitalize-example-region-markers~, which is a ~defvar~ and
  1135. is now obsolete.
  1136. *** =INCLUDE= keywords in commented trees are now ignored.
  1137. *** Default value for ~org-texinfo-text-markup-alist~ changed.
  1138. Now ~=...=~ markup uses ~@samp{}~ instead of ~@verb{}~. You can use
  1139. ~@verb{}~ again by customizing the variable.
  1140. *** Texinfo exports example blocks as ~@example~
  1141. *** Texinfo exports inline source blocks as ~@code{}~
  1142. *** Texinfo default table markup is ~@asis~
  1143. It used to be ~@samp~ but ~@asis~ is neutral and, therefore, more
  1144. suitable as a default value.
  1145. *** Texinfo default process includes ~--no-split~ option
  1146. *** New entities : ~\dollar~ and ~\USD~
  1147. *** Support for date style URLs in =org-protocol://open-source=
  1148. URLs like =https://cool-blog.com/2017/05/20/cool-post/= are
  1149. covered by rewrite rules.
  1150. *** Add (C) =COMMENT= support to ~org-structure-template-alist~
  1151. * Version 9.0
  1152. ** Incompatible changes
  1153. *** Emacs 23 support has been dropped
  1154. From now on, Org expects at least Emacs 24.3, although Emacs 24.4 or
  1155. above is suggested.
  1156. *** XEmacs support has been dropped
  1157. Incomplete compatibility layer with XEmacs has been removed. If you
  1158. want to take over maintenance of this compatibility, please contact
  1159. our mailing list.
  1160. *** New syntax for export blocks
  1161. Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
  1162. disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
  1163. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1164. ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
  1165. ...
  1166. ,#+END_EXPORT
  1167. #+END_SRC
  1168. instead of
  1169. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1170. ,#+BEGIN_backend
  1171. ...
  1172. ,#+END_backend
  1173. #+END_SRC
  1174. As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
  1175. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1176. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
  1177. #+END_SRC
  1178. becomes
  1179. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1180. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
  1181. #+END_SRC
  1182. The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
  1183. using previous syntax:
  1184. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1185. (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
  1186. "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
  1187. (interactive)
  1188. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  1189. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  1190. (back-end-re (regexp-opt
  1191. '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
  1192. "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
  1193. t)))
  1194. (org-with-wide-buffer
  1195. (goto-char (point-min))
  1196. (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
  1197. (save-excursion
  1198. (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
  1199. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  1200. (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
  1201. (save-excursion
  1202. (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
  1203. (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
  1204. (forward-char)
  1205. (insert "EXPORT")
  1206. (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
  1207. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
  1208. (let ((include-re
  1209. (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
  1210. (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
  1211. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  1212. (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
  1213. (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
  1214. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
  1215. #+END_SRC
  1216. Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~ and
  1217. ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to be
  1218. removed.
  1219. *** Footnotes
  1220. **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
  1221. Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
  1222. it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
  1223. constructs are now unsupported.
  1224. If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them into
  1225. =[fn:N]=.
  1226. **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
  1227. Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
  1228. something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
  1229. consider using the =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
  1230. In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
  1231. exists.
  1232. *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
  1233. The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
  1234. S-expressions. Replacing an S-expression with an appropriate function
  1235. is straightforward. For example
  1236. : ("pdf" . (foo))
  1237. becomes
  1238. : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
  1239. *** The ~{{{modification-time}}}~ macro can get time via =vc=
  1240. The modification time will be determined via =vc.el= if the second
  1241. argument is non-nil. See the manual for details.
  1242. *** Preparation and completion functions in publishing projects change signature
  1243. Preparation and completion functions are now called with an argument,
  1244. which is the project property list. It used to be dynamically scoped
  1245. through the ~project-plist~ variable.
  1246. *** Old Babel header properties are no longer supported
  1247. Using header arguments as property names is no longer possible. As
  1248. such, the following
  1249. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1250. ,* Headline
  1251. :PROPERTIES:
  1252. :exports: code
  1253. :var: a=1 b=2
  1254. :var+: c=3
  1255. :END:
  1256. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1257. should be written instead
  1258. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1259. ,* Headline
  1260. :PROPERTIES:
  1261. :header-args: :exports code
  1262. :header-args+: :var a=1 b=2
  1263. :header-args+: :var c=3
  1264. :END:
  1265. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1266. Please note that, however, old properties were defined at the source
  1267. block definition. Current ones are defined where the block is called.
  1268. ** New features
  1269. *** ~org-eww~ has been moved into core
  1270. *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
  1271. Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
  1272. #+begin_example
  1273. org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
  1274. org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
  1275. #+end_example
  1276. Old-style links such as
  1277. : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
  1278. continue to be supported.
  1279. If you have defined your own handler functions for
  1280. ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
  1281. list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
  1282. ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into property
  1283. lists.
  1284. *** New Org linter library
  1285. ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
  1286. *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
  1287. When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
  1288. entries are added to last in the date tree.
  1289. *** New ~vbar~ entity
  1290. ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionally as a =|=,
  1291. unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~&vert;~ when using
  1292. a HTML derived export back-end.
  1293. *** Export
  1294. **** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
  1295. PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
  1296. details.
  1297. **** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
  1298. This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
  1299. a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
  1300. **** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
  1301. Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
  1302. string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
  1303. position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
  1304. for more details.
  1305. **** New Texinfo ~options~ attribute on special blocks
  1306. Using ~:options~ as a Texinfo attribute, it is possible to add
  1307. information to custom environments. See manual for details.
  1308. **** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
  1309. If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
  1310. will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
  1311. enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
  1312. ~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
  1313. **** Listings with captions are now numbered in HTML export
  1314. The class associated to the numbering is "listing-number". If you
  1315. don't want these blocks to be numbered, as it was the case until now,
  1316. You may want to add ~.listing-number { display: none; }~ to the CSS
  1317. used.
  1318. **** Line Numbering in SRC/EXAMPLE blocks support arbitrary start number
  1319. The ~-n~ option to ~SRC~ and ~EXAMPLE~ blocks can now take a numeric
  1320. argument to specify the staring line number for the source or example
  1321. block. The ~+n~ option can now take a numeric argument that will be
  1322. added to the last line number from the previous block as the starting
  1323. point for the SRC/EXAMPLE block.
  1324. #+BEGIN_SRC org

  1334. **** Allow toggling center for images in LaTeX export
  1335. With the global variable ~org-latex-images-centered~ or the local
  1336. attribute ~:center~ it is now possible to center an image in LaTeX
  1337. export.
  1338. **** Default CSS class ~org-svg~ for SVG images in HTML export
  1339. SVG images exported in HTML are now by default assigned a CSS class
  1340. ~org-svg~ if no CSS class is specified with the ~:class~ attribute. By
  1341. default, the CSS styling of class ~org-svg~ specifies an image width of
  1342. 90\thinsp{}% of the container the image.
  1343. **** Markdown footnote export customization
  1344. Variables ~org-md-footnotes-section~ and ~org-md-footnote-format~
  1345. introduced for =ox-md.el=. Both new variables define template strings
  1346. which can be used to customize the format of the exported footnotes
  1347. section and individual footnotes, respectively.
  1348. *** Babel
  1349. **** Blocks with coderefs labels can now be evaluated
  1350. The labels are removed prior to evaluating the block.
  1351. **** Support for Lua language
  1352. **** Support for SLY in Lisp blocks
  1353. See ~org-babel-lisp-eval-fn~ to activate it.
  1354. **** Support for Stan language
  1355. New ob-stan.el library.
  1356. Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
  1357. 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
  1358. This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
  1359. allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
  1360. 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
  1361. This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
  1362. ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
  1363. that does not end in ".stan".
  1364. For more information and usage examples, visit
  1365. https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
  1366. **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
  1367. =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
  1368. database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
  1369. mandatory):
  1370. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1371. :engine oracle
  1372. :dbhost <host.com>
  1373. :dbport <1521>
  1374. :dbuser <username>
  1375. :database <database>
  1376. :dbpassword <secret>
  1377. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1378. **** Improved support to Microsoft SQL Server via ~sqlcmd~
  1379. =ob-sql= library removes support to the ~msosql~ engine which uses the
  1380. deprecated ~osql~ command line tool, and replaces it with ~mssql~
  1381. engine which uses the ~sqlcmd~ command line tool. Use with properties
  1382. like this:
  1383. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1384. :engine mssql
  1385. :dbhost <host.com>
  1386. :dbuser <username>
  1387. :dbpassword <secret>
  1388. :database <database>
  1389. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1390. If you want to use the *trusted connection* feature, omit *both* the
  1391. =dbuser= and =dbpassword= properties and add =cmdline -E= to the properties.
  1392. If your Emacs is running in a Cygwin environment, the =ob-sql= library
  1393. can pass the converted path to the =sqlcmd= tool.
  1394. **** Improved support of header arguments for postgresql
  1395. The postgresql engine in a sql code block supports now ~:dbport~ nd
  1396. ~:dbpassword~ as header arguments.
  1397. **** Support for additional plantuml output formats
  1398. The support for output formats of [[http://plantuml.com/][plantuml]] has been extended to now
  1399. include:
  1400. All Diagrams:
  1401. - png ::
  1402. - svg ::
  1403. - eps ::
  1404. - pdf ::
  1405. - vdx ::
  1406. - txt :: ASCII art
  1407. - utxt :: ASCII art using unicode characters
  1408. Class Diagrams:
  1409. - xmi ::
  1410. - html ::
  1411. State Diagrams:
  1412. - scxml ::
  1413. The output formats are determined by the file extension specified
  1414. using the :file property, e.g.:
  1415. #+begin_src plantuml :file diagram.png
  1416. @startuml
  1417. Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
  1418. Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
  1419. Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
  1420. Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
  1421. @enduml
  1422. #+end_src
  1423. Please note that *pdf* *does not work out of the box* and needs additional
  1424. setup in addition to plantuml. See [[http://plantuml.com/pdf.html]] for
  1425. details and setup information.
  1426. *** Rewrite of radio lists
  1427. Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
  1428. rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
  1429. parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
  1430. for details.
  1431. *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
  1432. Used like ~org-bbdb-anniversaries~, it provides a few days warning for
  1433. upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
  1434. *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
  1435. If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
  1436. information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
  1437. See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
  1438. *** Support for ISO week trees
  1439. ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
  1440. by ISO week and not by month.
  1441. For example:
  1442. : * 2015
  1443. : ** 2015-W35
  1444. : ** 2015-W36
  1445. : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
  1446. They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
  1447. ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
  1448. *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
  1449. When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
  1450. an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
  1451. On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
  1452. *** Columns view
  1453. **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
  1454. When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
  1455. buffer unconditionally.
  1456. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
  1457. The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
  1458. **** Allow custom summaries
  1459. It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
  1460. provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
  1461. **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
  1462. Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
  1463. types.
  1464. *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
  1465. *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
  1466. When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
  1467. a git repository.
  1468. *** Allow conditional case-fold searches in ~org-occur~
  1469. When set to ~smart~, the new variable ~org-occur-case-fold-search~ allows
  1470. to mimic =isearch.el=: if the regexp searched contains any upper case
  1471. character (or character class), the search is case sensitive.
  1472. Otherwise, it is case insensitive.
  1473. *** More robust repeated =ox-latex= footnote handling
  1474. Repeated footnotes are now numbered by referring to a label in the
  1475. first footnote.
  1476. *** The ~org-block~ face is inherited by ~src-blocks~
  1477. This works also when =org-src-fontify-natively= is non-nil. It is also
  1478. possible to specify per-languages faces. See =org-src-block-faces= and
  1479. the manual for details.
  1480. *** Links are now customizable
  1481. Links can now have custom colors, tooltips, keymaps, display behavior,
  1482. etc. Links are now centralized in ~org-link-parameters~.
  1483. ** New functions
  1484. *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
  1485. It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
  1486. *** ~org-show-children~
  1487. It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
  1488. ** Removed functions
  1489. *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
  1490. Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
  1491. *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
  1492. Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
  1493. *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
  1494. Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
  1495. *** ~org-babel-trim~ is deprecated.
  1496. Use ~org-trim~ instead.
  1497. *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
  1498. Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
  1499. *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
  1500. Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
  1501. The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
  1502. *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
  1503. Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
  1504. *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
  1505. A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
  1506. now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
  1507. *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
  1508. Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
  1509. *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
  1510. It was not called by any org code since 2010.
  1511. *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
  1512. The affected functions are:
  1513. - ~org-count~
  1514. - ~org-remove-if~
  1515. - ~org-remove-if-not~
  1516. - ~org-reduce~
  1517. - ~org-every~
  1518. - ~org-some~
  1519. Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
  1520. the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
  1521. end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
  1522. ** Removed options
  1523. *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
  1524. This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
  1525. Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
  1526. let those libraries operate.
  1527. *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
  1528. Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
  1529. plain list.
  1530. *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  1531. fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
  1532. ** Miscellaneous
  1533. *** Add Icelandic smart quotes
  1534. *** Allow multiple receiver locations in radio tables and lists
  1535. *** Allow angular links within link descriptions
  1536. It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
  1537. ~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
  1538. ~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
  1539. is that spaces are allowed within the path.
  1540. *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  1541. *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
  1542. Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
  1543. current project. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
  1544. Org files.
  1545. *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
  1546. The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
  1547. indentation.
  1548. *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
  1549. Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
  1550. However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
  1551. the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
  1552. placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
  1553. very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
  1554. Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
  1555. template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
  1556. expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
  1557. another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
  1558. *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
  1559. Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
  1560. to the article's original group.
  1561. *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
  1562. The calling convention has changed.
  1563. *** HTML export table row customization changes
  1564. Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
  1565. ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
  1566. Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
  1567. called with 6 parameters.
  1568. *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
  1569. *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
  1570. The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
  1571. *** ~org-trim~ can preserve leading indentation.
  1572. When setting a new optional argument to a non-nil value, ~org-trim~
  1573. preserves leading indentation while removing blank lines at the
  1574. beginning of the string. The behavior is identical for white space at
  1575. the end of the string.
  1576. *** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
  1577. HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
  1578. than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
  1579. Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
  1580. : <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  1581. where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
  1582. For most folks this file does not exist.
  1583. Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
  1584. : <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  1585. All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other
  1586. =gnu.org= manuals.
  1587. *** Repeaters with a ~++~ interval and a time can be shifted to later today
  1588. Previously, if a recurring task had a timestamp of
  1589. ~<2016-01-01 Fri 20:00 ++1d>~ and was completed on =2016-01-02= at
  1590. =08:00=, the task would skip =2016-01-02= and would be rescheduled for
  1591. =2016-01-03=. Timestamps with ~++~ cookies and a specific time will
  1592. now shift to the first possible future occurrence, even if the
  1593. occurrence is later the same day the task is completed. (Timestamps
  1594. already in the future are still shifted one time further into the
  1595. future.)
  1596. *** ~org-mobile-action-alist~ is now a defconst
  1597. It used to be a defcustom, with a warning that it shouldn't be
  1598. modified anyway.
  1599. *** ~file+emacs~ and ~file+sys~ link types are deprecated
  1600. They are still supported in Org 9.0 but will eventually be removed in
  1601. a later release. Use ~file~ link type along with universal arguments
  1602. to force opening it in either Emacs or with system application.
  1603. *** New defcustom ~org-babel-J-command~ stores the j command
  1604. *** New defalias ~org-babel-execute:j~
  1605. Allows J source blocks be indicated by letter j. Previously the
  1606. indication letter was solely J.
  1607. *** ~org-open-line~ ignores tables at the very beginning of the buffer
  1608. When ~org-special-ctrl-o~ is non-nil, it is impractical to create
  1609. a blank line above a table at the beginning of the document. Now, as
  1610. a special case, ~org-open-line~ behaves normally in this situation.
  1611. *** ~org-babel-hash-show-time~ is now customizable
  1612. The experimental variable used to be more or less confidential, as
  1613. a ~defvar~.
  1614. *** New ~:format~ property to parsed links
  1615. It defines the format of the original link. Possible values are:
  1616. ~plain~, ~bracket~ and ~angle~.
  1617. * Version 8.3
  1618. ** Incompatible changes
  1619. *** Properties drawers syntax changes
  1620. Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
  1621. headline and its planning line, when applicable.
  1622. It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
  1623. logged before the property drawer.
  1624. The following function will repair them:
  1625. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1626. (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
  1627. "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
  1628. Ignore non Org buffers."
  1629. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  1630. (org-with-wide-buffer
  1631. (goto-char (point-min))
  1632. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  1633. (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
  1634. (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
  1635. "END[ \t]*$"))))
  1636. (org-map-entries
  1637. (lambda ()
  1638. (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
  1639. (save-excursion
  1640. (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
  1641. (forward-line)
  1642. (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
  1643. (when (and (< (point) end)
  1644. (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
  1645. (save-excursion
  1646. (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
  1647. (eq (org-element-type
  1648. (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
  1649. 'drawer))))
  1650. (insert (delete-and-extract-region
  1651. (match-beginning 0)
  1652. (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
  1653. (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
  1654. #+END_SRC
  1655. *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
  1656. If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
  1657. exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
  1658. is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
  1659. into account when exporting.
  1660. If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
  1661. for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
  1662. *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
  1663. It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
  1664. the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
  1665. 5.14 (2008).
  1666. =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
  1667. properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
  1668. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1669. ,* Headline
  1670. :PROPERTIES:
  1671. :CATEGORY: some category
  1672. :END:
  1673. #+END_SRC
  1674. *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
  1675. ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
  1676. and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
  1677. controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
  1678. see.
  1679. *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
  1680. ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
  1681. version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
  1682. Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
  1683. ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
  1684. *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
  1685. Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
  1686. buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
  1687. *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
  1688. The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
  1689. ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~
  1690. respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
  1691. functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
  1692. (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
  1693. *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
  1694. ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
  1695. =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
  1696. *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
  1697. If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
  1698. org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
  1699. org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
  1700. *** Functions signature changes
  1701. The following functions require an additional argument. See their
  1702. docstring for more information.
  1703. - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
  1704. - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
  1705. - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
  1706. - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
  1707. - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
  1708. - ~org-link-search~
  1709. ** New features
  1710. *** Default lexical evaluation of emacs-lisp source blocks
  1711. Emacs-lisp source blocks in Babel are now evaluated using lexical
  1712. scoping. There is a new header to control this behavior.
  1713. The default results in an eval with lexical scoping.
  1714. :lexical yes
  1715. This turns lexical scoping off in the eval (the former behavior).
  1716. :lexical no
  1717. This uses the lexical environment with x=42 in the eval.
  1718. :lexical '((x . 42))
  1719. *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
  1720. If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
  1721. without changing the headline.
  1722. *** Hierarchies of tags
  1723. The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to Org mode.
  1724. This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
  1725. in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
  1726. The following in-buffer definition:
  1727. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1728. ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
  1729. ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
  1730. ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
  1731. #+END_SRC
  1732. Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
  1733. - Group
  1734. - SubOne
  1735. - SubOne1
  1736. - SubOne2
  1737. - SubTwo
  1738. - SubTwo1
  1739. - SubTwo2
  1740. Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
  1741. on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
  1742. There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
  1743. *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
  1744. Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
  1745. don't have to be distinct on a heading.
  1746. Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
  1747. already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
  1748. non-exclusive syntax. This behavior is achieved with [ ]. Note: { }
  1749. can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the given
  1750. tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
  1751. [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
  1752. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1753. ,* Test :sub1:sub2:
  1754. #+END_SRC
  1755. This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
  1756. grouptags; { }.
  1757. *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
  1758. Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
  1759. "sub-tags".
  1760. The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
  1761. Example use:
  1762. : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
  1763. Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
  1764. regular expression matches for P@.+. This is good for example for
  1765. projects tagged with a common identifier, i.e. P@2014_OrgTags.
  1766. *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
  1767. Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filters all of the related tags.
  1768. Except if a filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
  1769. Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
  1770. levels anymore.
  1771. If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
  1772. is also used as a filter.
  1773. *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
  1774. Now uses the argument ARG and optional argument exclude instead of
  1775. strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
  1776. makes more sense than strip now. The term "narrowing" is changed to
  1777. exclude.
  1778. The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
  1779. filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
  1780. *** Babel: support for sed scripts
  1781. Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
  1782. *** Babel: support for Processing language
  1783. New ob-processing.el library.
  1784. This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
  1785. of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
  1786. external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
  1787. Check the documentation for more details.
  1788. Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
  1789. *** New behavior for ~org-toggle-latex-fragment~
  1790. The new behavior is the following:
  1791. - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument when
  1792. point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the whole
  1793. buffer;
  1794. - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
  1795. subtree;
  1796. - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
  1797. - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
  1798. *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  1799. The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
  1800. instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
  1801. *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  1802. Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
  1803. possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
  1804. more information.
  1805. *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
  1806. One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
  1807. which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
  1808. ~org-drawers~ variable.
  1809. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
  1810. Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
  1811. mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
  1812. "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
  1813. configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
  1814. *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
  1815. If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
  1816. argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
  1817. representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
  1818. default is =hline=.
  1819. *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
  1820. For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch in
  1821. a source block.
  1822. *** New option in ASCII export
  1823. Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting ~org-ascii-list-margin~
  1824. variable to an appropriate integer.
  1825. *** New blocks in ASCII export
  1826. ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT=
  1827. blocks. See documentation for details.
  1828. *** More back-end specific publishing options
  1829. The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
  1830. increased. See manual for details.
  1831. *** Export inline source blocks
  1832. Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
  1833. now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
  1834. in the output, depending on the parameters.
  1835. *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
  1836. These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
  1837. *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
  1838. *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
  1839. *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
  1840. This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
  1841. more features. See docstring for details.
  1842. *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
  1843. *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
  1844. Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
  1845. document, before wrapping it within the template.
  1846. *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
  1847. : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
  1848. : #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1849. : This sentence is false.
  1850. : #+END_EXAMPLE
  1851. will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
  1852. *** Various improvements on radio tables
  1853. Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
  1854. ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
  1855. parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are new
  1856. parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
  1857. ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
  1858. docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
  1859. *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
  1860. It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction
  1861. with source blocks exported by the minted package.
  1862. *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
  1863. Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
  1864. would throw an error. A new variable ~org-table-formula-create-columns~
  1865. was added to adjust this behavior. It is now possible to silently add
  1866. new columns, to do so with a warning or to explicitly ask the user
  1867. each time.
  1868. *** ASCII plot
  1869. Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
  1870. for details.
  1871. *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
  1872. This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
  1873. on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
  1874. *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
  1875. When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
  1876. *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
  1877. This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is now
  1878. deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
  1879. special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
  1880. *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  1881. See the docstring for more information.
  1882. *** Export unnumbered headlines
  1883. Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
  1884. exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
  1885. property is inherited by children.
  1886. *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
  1887. It is now possible to specify a function, both programmatically,
  1888. through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~ keys,
  1889. to sort a table.
  1890. *** Table of contents can be local to a section
  1891. The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See manual
  1892. for details.
  1893. *** Countdown timers can now be paused
  1894. ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
  1895. countdown timers.
  1896. *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
  1897. When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
  1898. displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
  1899. *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
  1900. It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
  1901. ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
  1902. *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
  1903. It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
  1904. ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
  1905. manual for details.
  1906. *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
  1907. It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
  1908. title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
  1909. *** New entities family: "\_ "
  1910. "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
  1911. back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
  1912. leading spaces within table cells.
  1913. *** New MathJax configuration options
  1914. Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
  1915. of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
  1916. *** New behavior in `org-export-options-alist'
  1917. When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
  1918. `parse' behavior on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
  1919. `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
  1920. However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
  1921. =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
  1922. value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
  1923. keywords and properties.
  1924. *** Viewport support in html export
  1925. Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
  1926. when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
  1927. *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
  1928. Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
  1929. for details.
  1930. *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
  1931. Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
  1932. allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in a
  1933. dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
  1934. *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
  1935. Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
  1936. added to headline text.
  1937. *** Support for images in Texinfo export
  1938. ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See the manual for details.
  1939. *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
  1940. Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
  1941. of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
  1942. =#+TOC= keyword.
  1943. *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
  1944. In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
  1945. set using the hh:mm:ss format.
  1946. *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
  1947. ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for the
  1948. number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original subtree
  1949. and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
  1950. *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
  1951. It encompasses all past closed clocks.
  1952. *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
  1953. See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
  1954. ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
  1955. *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
  1956. *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
  1957. ** Removed functions
  1958. *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
  1959. Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
  1960. *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
  1961. This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
  1962. current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
  1963. it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
  1964. accessible from the export dispatcher.
  1965. *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
  1966. ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
  1967. *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
  1968. This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
  1969. references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
  1970. *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
  1971. The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
  1972. optional argument.
  1973. *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
  1974. These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
  1975. anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
  1976. ** Removed options
  1977. *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
  1978. It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
  1979. compatibility.
  1980. If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
  1981. two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
  1982. *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
  1983. Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
  1984. body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
  1985. document instead.
  1986. *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
  1987. Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
  1988. everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
  1989. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
  1990. This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name= at
  1991. the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behavior is to use the value
  1992. of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell language is =shell=. To chose
  1993. a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind this
  1994. variable locally.
  1995. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
  1996. This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
  1997. styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
  1998. be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
  1999. compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
  2000. anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
  2001. *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
  2002. Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
  2003. would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
  2004. removed.
  2005. *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
  2006. Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
  2007. *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
  2008. This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
  2009. *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
  2010. This variable has no effect since August 2009.
  2011. *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
  2012. MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
  2013. end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
  2014. ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
  2015. ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
  2016. *** Removed comment-related filters
  2017. ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
  2018. ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
  2019. anymore.
  2020. ** Miscellaneous
  2021. *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
  2022. ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
  2023. *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
  2024. Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
  2025. =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
  2026. *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
  2027. As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
  2028. footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
  2029. labels colliding.
  2030. *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
  2031. This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
  2032. =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
  2033. *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
  2034. =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
  2035. *** Select tests to perform with the build system
  2036. The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
  2037. regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
  2038. This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
  2039. particular test failure was introduced.
  2040. *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
  2041. Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
  2042. the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as well
  2043. as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~ when
  2044. ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
  2045. *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
  2046. New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
  2047. Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
  2048. *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  2049. If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
  2050. ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~ now.
  2051. *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
  2052. This helps spotting wrong links.
  2053. * Version 8.2
  2054. ** Incompatible changes
  2055. *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
  2056. This may require two changes in user config.
  2057. 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
  2058. 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
  2059. to remove "sh" and include "shell".
  2060. *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
  2061. Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
  2062. 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
  2063. need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
  2064. Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
  2065. =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
  2066. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
  2067. with this:
  2068. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  2069. *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
  2070. Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
  2071. t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
  2072. option keywords like :html-include-style.
  2073. So you need to replace
  2074. : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
  2075. by
  2076. : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
  2077. Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
  2078. and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
  2079. *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
  2080. ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
  2081. process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
  2082. relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
  2083. Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
  2084. the other optional arguments accordingly.
  2085. *** Export back-ends are now structures
  2086. Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
  2087. communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
  2088. now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
  2089. of a symbol.
  2090. Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
  2091. ** Important bugfixes
  2092. *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
  2093. *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
  2094. *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
  2095. You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
  2096. this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
  2097. separator starting a TOTO match string.
  2098. ** New features
  2099. *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
  2100. See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
  2101. of the list.
  2102. *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
  2103. - Support SVG images
  2104. - Support for .pgf files
  2105. - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
  2106. - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
  2107. - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
  2108. replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
  2109. or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
  2110. - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
  2111. now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
  2112. *** New functions for paragraph motion
  2113. The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
  2114. that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
  2115. in a paragraph-like way.
  2116. *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  2117. Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
  2118. dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
  2119. leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
  2120. preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
  2121. check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
  2122. *** Anonymous export back-ends
  2123. ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
  2124. which can then be passed to export functions like
  2125. ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
  2126. It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
  2127. registering a new back-end.
  2128. *** New agenda fortnight view
  2129. The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
  2130. views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
  2131. ** New options
  2132. *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
  2133. This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
  2134. *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
  2135. This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
  2136. See https://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
  2137. *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
  2138. This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
  2139. the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
  2140. Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
  2141. allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
  2142. library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
  2143. so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
  2144. t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
  2145. of =ox-rss.el=.
  2146. *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
  2147. This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
  2148. *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
  2149. This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
  2150. *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
  2151. See [[https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
  2152. *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
  2153. If you set this to the following
  2154. : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
  2155. then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
  2156. *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
  2157. This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
  2158. =C-o= in tables.
  2159. ** New contributed packages
  2160. - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
  2161. export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
  2162. software.
  2163. - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
  2164. screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
  2165. ** Miscellaneous
  2166. *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
  2167. "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
  2168. starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
  2169. a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
  2170. the same with example blocks.
  2171. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
  2172. release.
  2173. * Version 8.0.1
  2174. ** Installation
  2175. Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
  2176. If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
  2177. instructions:
  2178. - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
  2179. =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
  2180. customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
  2181. - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
  2182. correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
  2183. only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
  2184. the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
  2185. detailed explanations.
  2186. - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
  2187. you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
  2188. function has been called already.
  2189. When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
  2190. installation.
  2191. See https://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
  2192. ** Incompatible changes
  2193. Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
  2194. If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
  2195. If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
  2196. you will have to update them.
  2197. Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
  2198. See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
  2199. this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
  2200. **** New export engine
  2201. Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
  2202. export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
  2203. already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
  2204. /all/ export back-ends.
  2205. The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
  2206. keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
  2207. built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
  2208. directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
  2209. [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
  2210. More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
  2211. corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
  2212. If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
  2213. rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
  2214. option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
  2215. manual for details and check [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
  2216. **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
  2217. : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
  2218. should now be written
  2219. : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
  2220. Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
  2221. respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
  2222. each backend. See Org's manual for details.
  2223. **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
  2224. You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
  2225. Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
  2226. now fully removed.
  2227. Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
  2228. remember templates into capture templates.
  2229. **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
  2230. If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
  2231. will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
  2232. **** Note for third-party developers
  2233. The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
  2234. prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
  2235. files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
  2236. If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
  2237. code.
  2238. **** Packages moved from core to contrib
  2239. Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
  2240. to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
  2241. moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
  2242. The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
  2243. is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
  2244. included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
  2245. user-base.
  2246. - org-colview-xemacs.el
  2247. - org-mac-message.el
  2248. - org-mew.el
  2249. - org-wl.el
  2250. - ox-freedmind.el
  2251. - ox-taskjuggler.el
  2252. Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
  2253. ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
  2254. ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
  2255. Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
  2256. wrote [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
  2257. ** New packages in core
  2258. *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
  2259. =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
  2260. *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
  2261. =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
  2262. *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
  2263. =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
  2264. vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
  2265. *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
  2266. =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
  2267. ** New packages in contrib
  2268. *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
  2269. [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
  2270. =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
  2271. code.
  2272. *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
  2273. [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
  2274. software, written entirely in the C programming language.
  2275. ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
  2276. entries.
  2277. *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
  2278. ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
  2279. *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
  2280. Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
  2281. Also see [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
  2282. for starting headlines.
  2283. *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
  2284. ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
  2285. locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
  2286. the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
  2287. [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
  2288. *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
  2289. ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
  2290. *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
  2291. [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
  2292. presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  2293. using =deck.js=.
  2294. [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
  2295. presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  2296. using =s5=.
  2297. *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
  2298. The [[https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
  2299. plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
  2300. output.
  2301. Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
  2302. conversion from Org files to groff.
  2303. *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
  2304. This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
  2305. *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
  2306. This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
  2307. with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
  2308. entirely with Org.
  2309. ** New features
  2310. *** Export
  2311. **** New export generic options
  2312. If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
  2313. it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
  2314. Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
  2315. - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
  2316. =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
  2317. You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
  2318. file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
  2319. - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
  2320. =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
  2321. now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
  2322. [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
  2323. new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
  2324. set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
  2325. standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
  2326. contains time-stamps.
  2327. To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
  2328. Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
  2329. the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
  2330. **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
  2331. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
  2332. **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
  2333. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
  2334. **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
  2335. **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
  2336. **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
  2337. *** Structure editing
  2338. **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
  2339. **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
  2340. [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
  2341. prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
  2342. **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
  2343. This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
  2344. would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
  2345. create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
  2346. an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
  2347. region.
  2348. **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
  2349. In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
  2350. _words__= will preserve markup.
  2351. **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
  2352. This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
  2353. is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
  2354. can slow down the flow of editing too much.
  2355. **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
  2356. These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
  2357. speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
  2358. **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
  2359. These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
  2360. now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
  2361. =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
  2362. forward and backward.
  2363. **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
  2364. **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
  2365. Now Org will sort this list
  2366. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  2367. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  2368. like this:
  2369. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  2370. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  2371. by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
  2372. Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
  2373. **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
  2374. For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
  2375. =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
  2376. states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
  2377. In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
  2378. local variable.
  2379. **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
  2380. The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
  2381. When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
  2382. time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
  2383. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
  2384. This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
  2385. restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
  2386. The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
  2387. restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
  2388. option to =nil=.
  2389. **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
  2390. When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
  2391. removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
  2392. information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
  2393. If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
  2394. TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
  2395. **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
  2396. This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
  2397. The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
  2398. fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
  2399. : #+attr_html: :width 300px
  2400. *** Scheduled/deadline
  2401. **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
  2402. If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
  2403. now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
  2404. task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
  2405. from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
  2406. Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
  2407. you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
  2408. display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
  2409. to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
  2410. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
  2411. occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
  2412. occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
  2413. and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
  2414. control this globally or per agenda.
  2415. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
  2416. See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
  2417. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
  2418. =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
  2419. *** Calendar, diary and appts
  2420. **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
  2421. By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
  2422. normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
  2423. the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
  2424. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2425. ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
  2426. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
  2427. ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
  2428. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
  2429. (kbd "@")
  2430. (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
  2431. #+END_SRC
  2432. **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
  2433. This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
  2434. appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
  2435. call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
  2436. **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
  2437. [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
  2438. in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
  2439. only show their description, not the full links.
  2440. *** Agenda
  2441. **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
  2442. When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
  2443. list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
  2444. want to build a list of appointments.
  2445. You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
  2446. each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
  2447. Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
  2448. : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
  2449. This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
  2450. time value (i.e. appointments).
  2451. **** New agenda sorting strategies
  2452. [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
  2453. | Strategy | Explanations |
  2454. |----------------+------------------------------------------|
  2455. | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
  2456. | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
  2457. | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
  2458. | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
  2459. | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
  2460. | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
  2461. | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
  2462. | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
  2463. | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
  2464. | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
  2465. **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
  2466. You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
  2467. different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
  2468. while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
  2469. These new options are available:
  2470. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
  2471. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
  2472. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
  2473. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
  2474. For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
  2475. view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
  2476. without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
  2477. When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
  2478. to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
  2479. no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
  2480. to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
  2481. show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
  2482. non-tagged headlines.
  2483. **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
  2484. You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
  2485. regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
  2486. example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
  2487. that take only =N= minutes.
  2488. **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
  2489. You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
  2490. == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
  2491. [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
  2492. **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
  2493. Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
  2494. filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
  2495. **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
  2496. You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
  2497. headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
  2498. This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
  2499. list of notes.
  2500. **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
  2501. It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
  2502. your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
  2503. =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
  2504. This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
  2505. change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
  2506. **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
  2507. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
  2508. to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
  2509. This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
  2510. **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
  2511. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
  2512. display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
  2513. outline tree.
  2514. **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
  2515. =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
  2516. overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
  2517. asks for a confirmation.
  2518. **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
  2519. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
  2520. the mark of the entry at point.
  2521. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
  2522. toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
  2523. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
  2524. This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
  2525. E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
  2526. level 1.
  2527. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
  2528. This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
  2529. options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
  2530. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
  2531. This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
  2532. entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
  2533. **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
  2534. The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
  2535. it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
  2536. [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
  2537. string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
  2538. **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  2539. When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
  2540. =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
  2541. repeated beyond the current deadline.
  2542. **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
  2543. This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
  2544. which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
  2545. prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
  2546. deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
  2547. Read the full docstring for details.
  2548. **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
  2549. For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
  2550. : * Task
  2551. : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
  2552. *** Capture
  2553. **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
  2554. With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
  2555. point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
  2556. capture template.
  2557. **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
  2558. If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
  2559. expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
  2560. **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
  2561. [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  2562. allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
  2563. be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
  2564. check against the name of the buffer.
  2565. *** Tag groups
  2566. Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
  2567. (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
  2568. headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
  2569. of those tags.)
  2570. You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
  2571. agenda views, and for filtering.
  2572. See https://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
  2573. *** Links
  2574. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
  2575. Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
  2576. other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
  2577. through new link protocols (see [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
  2578. Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
  2579. as if the protocol was not known.
  2580. You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
  2581. **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
  2582. Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
  2583. Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
  2584. RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
  2585. active.
  2586. **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
  2587. =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
  2588. description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
  2589. with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
  2590. **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
  2591. When storing a link to a headline like
  2592. : * See [[https://orgmode.org][Org website]]
  2593. [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
  2594. It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
  2595. there is no description.
  2596. *** Table
  2597. **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
  2598. If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
  2599. apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
  2600. those other formulas.
  2601. **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
  2602. If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
  2603. [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
  2604. mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
  2605. the end.
  2606. **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
  2607. If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
  2608. english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
  2609. internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
  2610. doing computation.
  2611. **** New lookup functions
  2612. There are now three lookup functions:
  2613. - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
  2614. - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
  2615. - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
  2616. See [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
  2617. *** Startup keywords
  2618. These new startup keywords are now available:
  2619. | Startup keyword | Option |
  2620. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  2621. | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
  2622. | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
  2623. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  2624. | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
  2625. | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
  2626. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  2627. | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
  2628. | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
  2629. *** Clocking
  2630. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
  2631. E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
  2632. clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
  2633. 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
  2634. your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
  2635. **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
  2636. When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
  2637. day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
  2638. for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
  2639. the clocktable.
  2640. See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
  2641. [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
  2642. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
  2643. This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
  2644. milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
  2645. **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
  2646. When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
  2647. option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
  2648. [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
  2649. **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
  2650. **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
  2651. **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
  2652. **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
  2653. **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
  2654. **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
  2655. **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
  2656. *** Babel
  2657. **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
  2658. This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
  2659. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
  2660. This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
  2661. same target than the block at point.
  2662. **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
  2663. When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
  2664. in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
  2665. file under the same directory than the base Org file.
  2666. When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
  2667. the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
  2668. time.
  2669. **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
  2670. This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
  2671. code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
  2672. manual for a usage example.
  2673. **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
  2674. If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
  2675. the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
  2676. collecting blocks for tangling.
  2677. **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
  2678. **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
  2679. Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
  2680. cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
  2681. **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
  2682. **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
  2683. When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
  2684. instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
  2685. *** Faces
  2686. - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
  2687. - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
  2688. - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
  2689. - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags
  2690. ** Miscellaneous
  2691. - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
  2692. - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
  2693. - [[doc:org-export-html-table-tag][org-export-html-table-tag]] is replaced by [[doc:org-html-table-default-attributes][org-html-table-default-attributes]]
  2694. - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
  2695. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  2696. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  2697. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  2698. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
  2699. - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
  2700. - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
  2701. - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
  2702. - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
  2703. - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
  2704. - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
  2705. - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
  2706. - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
  2707. - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
  2708. - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports OS X versions up to 10.8
  2709. - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
  2710. ** Outside Org
  2711. *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
  2712. David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
  2713. You can read the [[https://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
  2714. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  2715. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  2716. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  2717. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  2718. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  2719. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  2720. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  2721. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  2722. found here: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  2723. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
  2724. - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
  2725. - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
  2726. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  2727. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  2728. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  2729. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  2730. * Version 7.9.3
  2731. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  2732. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  2733. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  2734. agenda views.)
  2735. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  2736. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  2737. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  2738. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  2739. agenda type to this variable.
  2740. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  2741. generation.
  2742. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  2743. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  2744. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  2745. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  2746. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  2747. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  2748. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  2749. invisible) blocked tasks.
  2750. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  2751. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  2752. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  2753. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  2754. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  2755. ** No GPL manual anymore
  2756. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  2757. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  2758. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  2759. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  2760. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  2761. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  2762. in most environments.
  2763. * Version 7.9.2
  2764. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  2765. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  2766. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2767. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  2768. #+END_SRC
  2769. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  2770. available through https://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  2771. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  2772. directory.)
  2773. See https://orgmode.org/elpa/
  2774. ** Overview of the new keybindings

  2790. ** New package and Babel language
  2791. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  2792. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  2793. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  2794. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  2795. ** Incompatible changes
  2796. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  2797. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  2798. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  2799. instead.
  2800. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  2801. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  2802. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  2803. ** New features and user-visible changes
  2804. *** Org Element
  2805. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  2806. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  2807. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  2808. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  2809. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  2810. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  2811. See the docstrings for more details.
  2812. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  2813. on =org-element.el=.
  2814. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  2815. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  2816. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  2817. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  2818. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  2819. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  2820. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  2821. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  2822. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  2823. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  2824. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  2825. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  2826. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  2827. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  2828. elements.
  2829. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  2830. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  2831. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  2832. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  2833. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  2834. item. Etc.
  2835. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  2836. the whole list.
  2837. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  2838. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  2839. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  2840. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  2841. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  2842. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  2843. the same level.
  2844. *** Org Agenda
  2845. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  2846. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  2847. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  2848. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  2849. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  2850. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  2851. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  2852. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  2853. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  2854. generating new ones.
  2855. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  2856. agenda buffer.
  2857. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  2858. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  2859. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  2860. to this value
  2861. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2862. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  2863. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  2864. #+END_SRC
  2865. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  2866. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  2867. details on how to use this.
  2868. **** Changes in bulk actions
  2869. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  2870. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  2871. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  2872. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  2873. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  2874. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  2875. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  2876. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  2877. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  2878. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  2879. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  2880. =t=.
  2881. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  2882. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  2883. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  2884. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  2885. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  2886. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  2887. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  2888. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  2889. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  2890. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  2891. =f= or =w=).
  2892. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  2893. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  2894. of deadline.
  2895. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  2896. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  2897. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  2898. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  2899. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  2900. several times.
  2901. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  2902. See the [[https://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  2903. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  2904. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  2905. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  2906. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  2907. filters and category filters.
  2908. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  2909. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  2910. configuration.
  2911. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  2912. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  2913. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  2914. point.
  2915. *** Org Links
  2916. **** Inserting links
  2917. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  2918. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  2919. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  2920. want to insert.
  2921. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  2922. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  2923. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  2924. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  2925. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  2926. highlighted.
  2927. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  2928. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  2929. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  2930. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  2931. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  2932. **** New link type =help=
  2933. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  2934. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  2935. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  2936. you go back to the same buffer.
  2937. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  2938. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  2939. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  2940. =org-stored-links=.
  2941. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  2942. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  2943. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  2944. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  2945. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  2946. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  2947. *** Org Editing
  2948. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  2949. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  2950. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  2951. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  2952. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  2953. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  2954. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  2955. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  2956. all headlines in the region.
  2957. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  2958. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  2959. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  2960. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  2961. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  2962. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  2963. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  2964. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  2965. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  2966. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  2967. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  2968. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  2969. undo RET=.
  2970. *** Org Clock
  2971. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  2972. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  2973. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  2974. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  2975. clocked entry, if any.
  2976. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  2977. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  2978. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  2979. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  2980. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  2981. out.
  2982. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  2983. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  2984. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  2985. arguments).
  2986. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  2987. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  2988. in.
  2989. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  2990. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  2991. cells in clockreport.
  2992. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  2993. time cells in clockreport.
  2994. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  2995. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  2996. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  2997. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  2998. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  2999. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  3000. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  3001. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  3002. space in the frame title.
  3003. *** Org Appearance
  3004. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  3005. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  3006. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  3007. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  3008. don't want to see temporarily.
  3009. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  3010. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  3011. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  3012. There are these new entities:
  3013. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  3014. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  3015. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  3016. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  3017. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  3018. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  3019. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  3020. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  3021. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  3022. The face is back to a normal height.
  3023. *** Org Columns
  3024. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  3025. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  3026. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  3027. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  3028. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  3029. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  3030. block will use its value as the column format.
  3031. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  3032. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  3033. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  3034. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  3035. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  3036. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  3037. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  3038. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  3039. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  3040. You can now use
  3041. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  3042. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  3043. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  3044. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  3045. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  3046. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  3047. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  3048. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  3049. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  3050. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  3051. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  3052. *** Org Capture
  3053. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  3054. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  3055. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  3056. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  3057. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  3058. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  3059. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  3060. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  3061. set to this value
  3062. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  3063. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  3064. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  3065. #+END_SRC
  3066. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  3067. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  3068. more details on how to use this.
  3069. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  3070. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  3071. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  3072. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  3073. =nil=.
  3074. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  3075. See the manual for more explanations.
  3076. **** More control over empty lines
  3077. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  3078. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  3079. explanations.
  3080. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  3081. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  3082. *** Org Export
  3083. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  3084. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  3085. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  3086. available) to print beautiful tables.
  3087. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  3088. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  3089. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  3090. the table.
  3091. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  3092. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  3093. in the #+DATE option.
  3094. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  3095. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  3096. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  3097. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  3098. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  3099. More languages are always welcome.
  3100. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  3101. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  3102. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  3103. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  3104. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[https://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  3105. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  3106. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  3107. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  3108. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  3109. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  3110. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  3111. *** Org Babel
  3112. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  3113. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  3114. supported.
  3115. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  3116. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  3117. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  3118. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  3119. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  3120. It used to exports the results of the code.
  3121. *** Miscellaneous
  3122. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  3123. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  3124. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  3125. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  3126. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  3127. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  3128. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  3129. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  3130. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  3131. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  3132. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  3133. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  3134. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  3135. alarm.
  3136. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  3137. This will increment the effort value.
  3138. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  3139. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  3140. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  3141. attach symbolic links.
  3142. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  3143. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  3144. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  3145. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  3146. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  3147. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  3148. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  3149. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  3150. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  3151. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  3152. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  3153. all top level list items.
  3154. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  3155. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  3156. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  3157. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  3158. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  3159. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  3160. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  3161. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  3162. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  3163. first headline in the region.
  3164. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  3165. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  3166. agenda.
  3167. ** Important bug fixes
  3168. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  3169. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  3170. perform completion with meaningful values.
  3171. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  3172. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  3173. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  3174. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  3175. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  3176. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  3177. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  3178. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  3179. license.
  3180. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  3181. the code and the license to your needs.
  3182. See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  3183. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  3184. * Version 7.8.11
  3185. ** Incompatible changes
  3186. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  3187. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[https://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  3188. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  3189. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  3190. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  3191. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  3192. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  3193. last-minute save.
  3194. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  3195. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  3196. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  3197. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  3198. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  3199. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  3200. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  3201. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  3202. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  3203. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  3204. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  3205. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  3206. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  3207. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  3208. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  3209. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  3210. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  3211. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  3212. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  3213. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  3214. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  3215. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  3216. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  3217. #+end_src
  3218. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  3219. setup./
  3220. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  3221. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  3222. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  3223. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  3224. The two new variables are:
  3225. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  3226. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  3227. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  3228. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  3229. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  3230. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  3231. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  3232. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  3233. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  3234. classes.
  3235. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  3236. document are:
  3237. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  3238. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  3239. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  3240. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  3241. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  3242. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  3243. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  3244. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  3245. #+begin_example
  3246. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  3247. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  3248. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  3249. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  3250. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  3251. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  3252. #+end_example
  3253. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  3254. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  3255. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  3256. applies to the following packages:
  3257. - inputenc
  3258. - fontenc
  3259. - fixltx2e
  3260. - graphicx
  3261. - longtable
  3262. - float
  3263. - wrapfig
  3264. - soul
  3265. - t1enc
  3266. - textcomp
  3267. - marvosym
  3268. - wasysym
  3269. - latexsym
  3270. - amssymb
  3271. - hyperref
  3272. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  3273. you are using, you can remove it from
  3274. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  3275. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  3276. properly.
  3277. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  3278. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  3279. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  3280. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  3281. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  3282. the header.
  3283. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  3284. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  3285. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  3286. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  3287. code using it.
  3288. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  3289. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  3290. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  3291. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  3292. ** Important new features
  3293. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  3294. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  3295. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  3296. for more information on how to customize it.
  3297. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  3298. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  3299. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  3300. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  3301. section [[https://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  3302. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  3303. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  3304. [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  3305. To switch over to the new system:
  3306. 1. Run
  3307. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  3308. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  3309. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  3310. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  3311. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  3312. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  3313. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  3314. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  3315. customization.
  3316. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  3317. with org-remember:
  3318. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  3319. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  3320. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  3321. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  3322. with using both system in parallel.
  3323. ** New libraries
  3324. *** New Org libraries
  3325. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  3326. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  3327. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  3328. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  3329. To use, put the following in your init file:
  3330. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  3331. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  3332. #+END_EXAMPLE
  3333. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  3334. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  3335. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  3336. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  3337. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  3338. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  3339. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  3340. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  3341. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  3342. anything.
  3343. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  3344. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  3345. He also wrote a [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  3346. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  3347. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  3348. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  3349. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  3350. /org-ctags.el/.
  3351. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  3352. call function to do something special with text links.
  3353. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  3354. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  3355. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  3356. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  3357. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  3358. Org-mode manual:
  3359. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  3360. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  3361. *** New Babel libraries
  3362. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  3363. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  3364. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  3365. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  3366. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  3367. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  3368. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  3369. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  3370. *** Hyperlinks
  3371. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  3372. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  3373. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  3374. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  3375. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  3376. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  3377. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  3378. The key new functions are
  3379. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  3380. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  3381. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  3382. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  3383. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  3384. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  3385. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  3386. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  3387. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  3388. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  3389. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  3390. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  3391. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  3392. **** Modified link escaping
  3393. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  3394. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  3395. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  3396. : in link target or description) or are not allowed to appear in
  3397. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  3398. : link).
  3399. :
  3400. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  3401. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  3402. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  3403. : percent escaped links are solved.
  3404. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  3405. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  3406. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  3407. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  3408. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  3409. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  3410. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  3411. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  3412. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  3413. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  3414. string to be executed.
  3415. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  3416. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  3417. to org-file-apps:
  3418. #+begin_example
  3419. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  3420. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  3421. #+end_example
  3422. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  3423. *** Dates and time
  3424. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  3425. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  3426. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  3427. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  3428. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  3429. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  3430. will work on the current entry.
  3431. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  3432. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  3433. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  3434. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  3435. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  3436. #+begin_example
  3437. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  3438. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  3439. #+end_example
  3440. *** Agenda
  3441. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  3442. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  3443. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  3444. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  3445. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  3446. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  3447. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  3448. entries using a function.
  3449. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  3450. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  3451. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  3452. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  3453. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  3454. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  3455. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  3456. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  3457. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  3458. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  3459. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  3460. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  3461. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  3462. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  3463. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  3464. *** Exporting
  3465. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  3466. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  3467. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  3468. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  3469. docstring of these variable for details about available
  3470. %-sequences.
  3471. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  3472. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  3473. formatting string will insert a string.
  3474. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  3475. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  3476. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  3477. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  3478. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  3479. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  3480. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  3481. C-e u=, respectively.
  3482. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  3483. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  3484. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  3485. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  3486. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  3487. your preference.
  3488. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  3489. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  3490. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  3491. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  3492. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  3493. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  3494. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  3495. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  3496. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  3497. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  3498. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  3499. section]] in the manual for more details.
  3500. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  3501. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  3502. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  3503. individual could.
  3504. *** Refiling
  3505. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  3506. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  3507. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  3508. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  3509. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  3510. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  3511. **** New logging support for refiling
  3512. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  3513. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  3514. =org-log-refile=.
  3515. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  3516. *** Completion
  3517. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  3518. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  3519. *** Tables
  3520. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  3521. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  3522. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  3523. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  3524. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  3525. the displayed in the buffer.
  3526. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  3527. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  3528. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  3529. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  3530. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  3531. |--------+--------+---------|
  3532. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  3533. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  3534. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  3535. optional.
  3536. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  3537. feedback on this.
  3538. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  3539. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  3540. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  3541. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  3542. : things like
  3543. :
  3544. : @3=
  3545. : @2$2..@5$7=
  3546. : @I$2..@II$4=
  3547. :
  3548. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  3549. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  3550. : table.
  3551. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  3552. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  3553. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  3554. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  3555. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  3556. *** Lists
  3557. **** Improved handling of lists
  3558. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  3559. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  3560. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  3561. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  3562. indented than it.
  3563. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  3564. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  3565. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  3566. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  3567. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  3568. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  3569. `org-list-export-context'.
  3570. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  3571. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  3572. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  3573. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  3574. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  3575. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  3576. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  3577. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  3578. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  3579. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  3580. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  3581. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  3582. *** Inline display of linked images
  3583. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  3584. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  3585. that have no description part will be inlined.
  3586. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  3587. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  3588. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  3589. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  3590. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  3591. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  3592. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  3593. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  3594. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  3595. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  3596. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  3597. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  3598. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  3599. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  3600. tangling
  3601. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  3602. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  3603. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  3604. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  3605. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  3606. properties or in tables.
  3607. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  3608. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  3609. names, and rownames across all languages.
  3610. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  3611. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  3612. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  3613. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  3614. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  3615. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  3616. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  3617. request by Scott Otterson.
  3618. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  3619. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  3620. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  3621. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  3622. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  3623. superscripts, see the variable
  3624. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  3625. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  3626. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  3627. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  3628. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  3629. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  3630. following new faces:
  3631. =org-document-title=
  3632. =org-document-info=
  3633. =org-document-info-keyword=
  3634. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  3635. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  3636. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  3637. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  3638. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  3639. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  3640. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  3641. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  3642. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  3643. property is affected by this setting.
  3644. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  3645. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  3646. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  3647. Requested by Michael Brand.
  3648. **** Better level cycling function
  3649. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  3650. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  3651. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  3652. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  3653. **** Adaptive filling
  3654. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  3655. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  3656. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  3657. comments to be filled correctly.
  3658. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  3659. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  3660. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  3661. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  3662. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  3663. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  3664. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  3665. *** Clocking
  3666. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  3667. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  3668. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  3669. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  3670. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  3671. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  3672. **** Localized clock tables
  3673. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  3674. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  3675. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  3676. available translated strings.
  3677. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  3678. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  3679. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  3680. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  3681. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  3682. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  3683. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  3684. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  3685. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  3686. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  3687. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  3688. =nil=.
  3689. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  3690. *** Misc
  3691. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  3692. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  3693. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  3694. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  3695. **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  3696. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  3697. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  3698. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  3699. property) back.
  3700. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  3701. change.
  3702. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  3703. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  3704. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  3705. #+begin_example
  3706. org-table-get
  3707. org-table-put
  3708. org-table-current-line
  3709. org-table-goto-line
  3710. #+end_example
  3711. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  3712. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  3713. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  3714. node.
  3715. This was requested by Tom.
  3716. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  3717. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  3718. example by viewing from the agenda.
  3719. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
