  45. <h4>New keyword search agenda view</h4>
  46. <p>
  47. This is a special search that lets you select entries by keywords or
  48. regular expression, using a boolean logic. For example, the search
  49. string
  50. </p>
  51. <p>
  52. <pre>
  53. +computer +wifi -ethernet -{8\.11[bg]}
  54. </pre>
  55. </p>
  56. <p>
  57. will search for note entries that contain the keywords @code{computer}
  58. and @code{wifi}, but not the keyword @code{ethernet}, and which are also
  59. not matched by the regular expression @code{8\.11[bg]}, meaning to
  60. exclude both 8.11b and 8.11g. If the first character of the
  61. search string is an asteriks, the search will lonly look at
  62. headlines - otherwise it will look at the headine and the
  63. text below it, up to the next (possibly sub-) heading.
  64. </p>
  65. <p>
  66. The default key binding for this view is `C-c a s'.
  67. </p>
  68. <p>
  69. You can define a custom command to do such a search only in a
  70. limited number of files, like this:
  71. </p>
  72. <p>
  73. <pre>
  74. ("S" "Search notes" search ""
  75. ((org-agenda-files '("~/org/notes.org" "~/org/computer.org"))))
  76. </pre>
  77. </p>

  79. <div class="outline-4">
  80. <h4>Misc</h4>
  81. <ul>
  82. <li>
  83. M-RET can again be used to split a line so tha the rest of
  84. the line becomes the new heading. However, if you do this
  85. in a heading containing tags, the tags will stay in the old
  86. line.
  87. <p>
  88. Customize the variable `org-M-RET-may-split-line' if you
  89. don't want this command to split a line in the middle. The
  90. same variable also influences line splitting in items and in
  91. tables.

  103. The variable `org-log-done' is now less complex.

  105. <li>
  106. The in-buffer settings for logging have changed. Some
  107. options no longer exists, some new ones have been added.

  113. <h4>Changes to logging progress</h4>
  114. <p>
  115. There is now more control over which state changes are being
  116. logged in what way. Please read carefully the corresponding
  117. sections in the manual. Basically:
  118. </p>
  119. <ul>
  120. <li>
  121. The variable `org-log-done' has been simplified, it no
  122. longer influences logging state changes and clocking out.
  123. </li>
  124. <li>
  125. There is a new variable for triggering note-taking when
  126. clocking out an item: `org-log-note-clock-out'.
  127. </li>
  128. <li>
  129. Logging of state changes now has to be configured on a
  130. pre-keyword basis, either in `org-todo-keywords' or in the
  131. #+TODO in-buffer setting.
  132. </li>
  133. <li>
  134. These per-keyword settings allow more control. For example
  135. <p>
  136. <pre>
  137. WAIT(w@) Record a note when entering this state.
  138. WAIT(w!) Record a timestamp when entering this state.
  139. WAIT(w@/!) Recore a note when entering and timestamp
  140. when leaving this state. This is great for
  141. getting a record when switching *back* from
  142. WAIT to TODO.
  143. WAIT(/!) Record a timestamp when leaving this state.
  144. Here we not even define a fast access
  145. character, but just the logging stuff.
  146. </pre>
  147. </p>
  148. </li>
  149. </ul>
  150. <p>This was triggered by requests from Wanrong Lin and Bernt Hansen.

  154. <h4>Other</h4>
  155. <ul>
  156. <li>
  157. M-RET no longer brakes a line in the middle, it will make a

  250. <h4>Remember/Refile/Goto</h4>
  251. <ul>
  252. <li>
  253. The use of prefix arguments for the commands `org-remember'
  254. and `org-refile' has been normalized:
  255. <ul>
  256. <li>
  257. when called without prefix argument, the command does its
  258. normal job, starting a remember note or refiling a tree.
  259. </li>
  260. <li>
  261. when called with a single C-u prefix, these commands can be
  262. used to select a target location and to jump there. In
  263. the case of `org-remember', you will be prompted for a
  264. template and then Emacs jumps to the default target
  265. location or this template. In the case of `org-refile',
  266. you select a location from the refile target list and jump
  267. there.
  268. </li>
  269. <li>
  270. when called with two prefixes (`C-u C-u'), the command
  271. jumps to the location last used for storing a note or a
  272. moved tree.
  273. </li>
  274. </ul></li>
  275. <li>
  276. When the clock is running inside an remember buffer, storing
  277. the remember buffer with `C-c C-c' will automatically clock
  278. out. This was inspired by a request by Rainer Stengle.
  279. </li>
  280. <li>
  281. The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'
  282. introduced only in 5.19 is already obsolete. Please use
  283. `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead. This new
  284. variable does select the interface that is used to select
  285. the target for a remember note in an interactive way.
  286. Possible values are:
  287. <ul>
  288. <li>
  289. `outline': Use an outline of the document to select a
  290. location.
  291. </li>
  292. <li>
  293. `outline-path-completion': Use completion of an outline
  294. path to select a location.
  295. </li>
  296. <li>
  297. `refile': Offer the `org-refile-targets' as possible
  298. targets.
  299. </li>
  300. </ul></li>
  301. <li>
  302. It is no longer necessary to update the refiling targets -
  303. they are always current.
  304. </li>
  305. <li>
  306. In `org-goto', typing characters now automatically starts
  307. isearch from the beginning of the buffer. The isearch is
  308. special also because it only matches in headline. This
  309. goes some way toward saving org-goto from being removed
  310. from Org-mode. Thanks to Piotr Zielinski for the code, and
  311. sorry that it took me so long to put it in. If you prefer
  312. to use single letters n,p,f,b,u,q for navigation as before,
  313. configure the variable `org-goto-auto-isearch'.
  314. </li>
  315. <li>
  316. Outline-path-completion is now available as an alternative
  317. interface in the command `org-goto'. Please select the
  318. default interface you'd like to use with the new variable
  319. `org-goto-interface'. You can then select the alternative
  320. interface with a prefix argument to `C-c C-j' (org-goto). I
  321. am considering to make outline-path-completion the default
  322. interface. Comments?

  325. <div class="outline-4">
  326. <h4>Misc</h4>
  327. <ul>
  328. <li>
  329. Checkboxes now work hierarchically. When a plain-list item
  330. with a checkbox has children with checkboxes, the status of
  331. the item's checkbox is calculated from the children, each
  332. time a checkbox is toggled with C-c C-c. Thanks to Miguel
  333. A. Figueroa-Villanueva for a patch to this effect.
  334. </li>
  335. <li>
  336. There is a new variable `org-special-ctrl-k'. When set,
  337. `C-k' will behave specially in headlines:
  338. <ul>
  339. <li>
  340. When the cursor is at the beginning of a headline, kill
  341. the entire line and possible the folded subtree below the
  342. line.
  343. </li>
  344. <li>
  345. When in the middle of the headline text, kill the
  346. headline up to the tags.
  347. </li>
  348. <li>
  349. When after the headline text, kill the tags.
  350. </li>
  351. </ul>
  352. <p>This is following a proposal by Piotr Zielinski.
  353. </p>
  354. </li>
  355. <li>
  356. You can now also have a plain (as opposed to deadline or
  357. scheduled) repeater timestamp in a task. Switching the task
  358. to DONE will now also shift a plain time stamp. This was a
  359. request by Austin Frank.
  360. </li>
  361. <li>
  362. If an entry is clocked multiple times, it will now show up
  363. several times in the agenda and timeline buffers, when
  364. log-mode is on. This was a proposal by Jurgen Defurne.
  365. </li>
  366. <li>
  367. The clock table accepts a new parameter <code>:step</code>. This
  368. parameter can be `day' or `week' and will result in separate
  369. tables for each day or week in the requested time interval.
  370. This was triggered by a proposal by Sacha Chua in her <a href="http://sachachua.com/wp/2007/12/30/clocking-time-with-emacs-org/">blog</a>.
  371. </li>
  372. <li>
  373. A time-stamp with a repeater now no longer refers to the
  374. date <b>closest</b> to the current day. Instead, it means either
  375. today or the most recent match. This change makes sure that
  376. overdue scheduled or deadline items never disappear from the
  377. agenda. With the previous convention, an overdue scheduled
  378. item would disappear. For example, a weekly item scheduled
  379. for Sunday would appear as overdue until Wednesday, and the
  380. suddenly disappear until next Sunday. Now the item will
  381. show up as "Sched 7x" on Saturday. From Sunday on it will
  382. be in the list as "Scheduled", i.e. old sins will be
  383. forgiven. This follows a request by Warong, Dennis and
  384. Bernt.
  385. </li>
  386. <li>
  387. Archiving a subtree now creates an additional property,
  388. <code>ARCHIVE_OLPATH</code>. This property contains the "path" in the
  389. outline tree to the archived entry, as it was in the
  390. original file. For example, archiving <code>Fix the door</code> in the
  391. following hierarchy
  392. <p>
  393. <pre>
  394. * Tasks
  395. ** HOME
  396. *** Garage
  397. **** Fix the door
  398. </pre>
  399. </p>
  400. <p>
  401. will file is with the following property
  402. </p>
  403. <p>
  404. <pre>
  405. :ARCHIVE_PATH: Task/HOME/Garage
  406. </pre>
  407. </p>
  408. <p>
  409. Note that you can configure (i.e. limit) the information
  410. that gets stored upon archiving with the variable
  411. `org-archive-save-context-info'.
  412. </p>
  413. </li>
  414. <li>
  415. New file `org-mac-message.el' by John Wiegley to create

  467. </pre>
  468. </p>

  472. request by Bernt Hansen.
  473. </p>
  474. </li>
  475. <li>
  476. Storing remember notes can now use the `org-refile'
  477. interface instead of the `org-goto' interface (see the
  478. variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive').
  479. Nothing will change if the note is stored immediately after
  480. pressing `C-c C-c' in the <code>*Remember*</code> buffer. But if you
  481. have chosen (e.g. by pressing `C-u C-c C-c') to
  482. interactively select the filing location (file and
  483. headline), the refile interface will be used instead. I am
  484. excited about this change, because the `org-goto' interface
  485. is basically a failure, at least for this application. Note
  486. that in any case the refile interface has to be configured
  487. first by customizing `org-refile-targets'.
  488. </li>
  489. <li>
  490. Notes inserted with remember now remove any whitespace
  491. before and after the note before being pasted, so that there
  492. will be no empty lines inserted together with the note. We
  493. could invent special syntax in remember templates to allow
  494. creating empty lines before a note - is there anyone who'd
  495. want this?
  496. </li>
  497. <li>
  498. Moving subtrees now folds all siblings of the subtree. This
  499. is the only reasonably simple way I could find to avoid the
  500. reported inconsistencies in the folding state of the outline
  501. tree after moving entries. There are reasons to like this
  502. new behavior, because it easily visualizes where the tree is
  503. located after the move. Still, not everyone might be happy
  504. with this. Massive complaining would be needed to make me
  505. fix this.
  506. </li>
  507. <li>
  508. New variable `org-agenda-todo-keyword-format' to specify the
  509. width of the TODO keyword field in the agenda display. Use
  510. it to get things to line up better. This was a proposal by
  511. Rainer Stengele.
  512. </li>
  513. <li>
  514. If a link description inserted with `C-c C-l' contains
  515. brackets, the brackets will now be converted into curly
  516. braces. This looks similar enough. Supporting brackets in
  517. link descriptions is, for technical reasons too long to
  518. explain here, complex.
  519. </li>
  520. <li>
  521. The new option `org-clock-in-switch-to-state' can be set to
  522. a TODO state that will be enforced when the clock is started
  523. on an entry. This follows an idea by Sacha Chua.
  524. </li>
  525. <li>
  526. The EXPORT_FILE_NAME property may now also be an absolute

  549. When cutting, pasting, or moving subtrees and items, the
  550. empty lines <b>before</b> the subtree/item now belong to the
  551. part and will be moved with it. There is one exception to
  552. this rule: If the first child is moved down (or,
  553. equivalently, the second is moved up), the amount of empty
  554. lines <b>above</b> the first child to be moved along with it is
  555. limited by the number of empty lines <b>below</b> it. This

  580. If you have `org-remember' on a key like `C-c r', then you

  582. C-c r'. This was a proposal by Rainer Stengele.

  584. <li>
  585. Template items that are being prompted for can now specify
  586. a default value and a completion table. Furthermore,
  587. previous inputs at a specific prompt are captured in a
  588. history variable. For example:
  589. <p>
  590. <pre>
  591. %^{Author|Roald Dahl|Thomas Mann|Larry Niven}
  592. </pre>
  593. </p>
  594. <p>
  595. will prompt for an author name. Pressing RET without
  596. typing anything will select "Roald Dahl". Completion will
  597. give you any of the three names. And a history will be
  598. kept, so you can use the arrow keys to get to previous
  599. input. The history is tied to the prompt. By using the
  600. same prompt in different templates, you can build a history
  601. across templates. The ideas for this came from proposals
  602. by Bastien and Adam.
  603. </p>

  605. <li>
  606. When a remember template contains the string `%!', the note

  636. <h4>Restriction lock on agenda scope</h4>
  637. <p>
  638. You can now permanently lock the agenda construction to a
  639. certain scope, like a file or a subtree. So instead of
  640. pressing "&lt;" for each command in the agenda dispatcher, you
  641. only once select a restriction scope. All subsequent agenda
  642. commands will than respect this restriction. For example,
  643. you can use this at work, to limit agendas to your work file
  644. or tree, and at home to limit to the home file or tree. Or
  645. you can use it during the day in order to focus in on certain
  646. projects.
  647. </p>
  648. <p>
  649. You select a scope with the command `C-c C-x &lt;', which
  650. restricts to the current subtree. When called with a `C-u'
  651. prefix, the restriction is to the current file. You can also
  652. make restrictions from the speedbar frame, see below.
  653. </p>
  654. <p>
  655. When making a new restriction and an agenda window is
  656. currently visible, it will immediately be updated to reflect
  657. the new scope. TO if you like you can display an agenda view
  658. and then watch it change in various scopes.
  659. </p>
  660. <p>
  661. To get rid of the restriction, use the command "C-c C-x &gt;".
  662. Or press "&gt;" in the agenda dispatcher. Also, and use of "&lt;"
  663. in the dispatcher will disable the restriction lock and
  664. select a new restriction.

  693. <li>

  697. set the lock and immediately update the agenda if it is

  849. (org-remember ?n))
  850. </pre>
  851. </p>
  852. <p>
  853. You need to modify this. The character selecting the template
  854. must now be the <i>second</i> argument to `org-remember':
  855. </p>
  856. <p>
  857. <pre>
  858. (defun my-remember-template-n ()

  873. <ul>
  874. <li>
  875. New command `org-refile' to quickly move a note to a
  876. different place. It is bound to `C-c C-w'. The foremost
  877. application might be to put a note or task captured with
  878. `remember' into the proper list or project. The command
  879. offers a list of possible refiling targets for completion.
  880. These are headings under which the entry will be inserted
  881. as a subitem. By default, this will offer all top-level
  882. headings in the current buffer, but you can configure the
  883. variable `org-refile-targets' to get more complex
  884. definitions. For example:
  885. <p>
  886. <pre>
  887. (setq org-refile-targets '((nil . (:level . 2))))
  888. </pre>
  889. </p>
  890. <p>
  891. selects all level 2 headlines in the current buffer as
  892. targets. And
  893. </p>
  894. <p>
  895. <pre>
  896. (setq org-refile-targets
  897. '((org-agenda-files . (:tag . "refile"))))
  898. </pre>
  899. </p>
  900. <p>
  901. searches all agenda files and selects headlines that are
  902. explicitly marked with the tag :refile: . Note that the
  903. list of targets is built upon first use only, to rebuilt
  904. it, call the command `C-c C-w' with a double prefix
  905. argument.
  906. </p>
  907. <p>
  908. This is based on an idea and example implementation by Max
  909. Mikhanosha. Many thanks Max.
  910. </p>
  911. </li>
  912. <li>
  913. You can now use a C-u prefix on `org-remember' to jump to
  914. the location where a specific templates stores its notes.
  915. For example, if you have `org-remember' bound to `C-c r',
  916. then `C-u C-c r n' will get you to the file and headline
  917. given in the template associated with the letter "n".
  918. <p>
  919. This was proposed by someone, but I have lost track who.
  920. Sorry, and thanks anyway.
  921. </p>
  922. </li>
  923. <li>
  924. New %-escapes in remember templates:
  925. <p>
  926. <pre>
  927. %c insert the current clipboard, like C-y would do
  928. %(..) evaluate Lisp expression and insert the result
  929. %[..] include file
  930. </pre>
  931. </p>
  932. <p>
  933. Thanks to Adam Spiers and Tim O'Callaghan.
  934. </p>
  935. </li>
  936. <li>
  937. New function `org-remember-insinuate' that makes is easier
  938. to set Org-mode specific values for remember variables.
  939. Thanks to Michael Olson for this proposal. It is
  940. equivalent to:
  941. <p>
  942. <pre>
  943. (require 'remember)
  944. (setq remember-annotation-functions '(org-remember-annotation))
  945. (setq remember-handler-functions '(org-remember-handler))
  946. (add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'org-remember-apply-template))
  947. </pre>
  948. </p>
  949. <p>
  950. You might still want to set `org-default-notes-file' to
  951. provide a default for templates without a file, and
  952. `org-directory' to show where to find other org files.

  957. <h4>Emphasis and Font-lock stuff</h4>
  958. <ul>
  959. <li>
  960. Stacked emphasis like */bold italic/* is no longer allowed.
  961. </li>
  962. <li>
  963. You may finally emphasize a single character like *a*.
  964. </li>
  965. <li>
  966. Font-lock now can hide the emphasis markers, just like Muse
  967. does. Configure the variable `org-hide-emphasis-markers'
  968. if you want this. Showing the characters continues to be
  969. the default in Org-mode.
  970. </li>
  971. <li>
  972. Text in the "=" emphasis is now exported verbatim, i.e. no
  973. further parsing and interpretation of this text takes place. So
  974. you can write =quoted *xxx* a_x = b=. This and the following
  975. point implement a request by Daniel Clemente.
  976. </li>
  977. <li>
  978. There is a new emphasis marker "~" which marks text to be
  979. exported verbatim, without special formatting. Inside an
  980. org-mode file, this text is highlighted with the org-verbatim
  981. face. I am not happy with the face yet (currently is is like
  982. org-code, but underlined), please suggest a better one.
  983. </li>
  984. <li>
  985. Whether an emphasis environment is verbatim or not is now an
  986. extra flag in the variable `org-emphasis-alist'. If you have
  987. configured this variable, do it again by first canceling your
  988. customization to revert to the default, and then adding it
  989. again.
  990. </li>
  991. <li>
  992. New variable `org-highlight-latex-fragments-and-specials'.
  993. When turned on, Org-mode will highlight all strings that
  994. are treated in a special way by the exporters. This is
  995. great for export-oriented writing, but maybe a bit noisy
  996. for note taking, so this feature is off by default.

  1001. <ul>

  1004. property names that should be treated with inheritance
  1005. during searches.
  1006. </li>
  1007. <li>
  1008. CATEGORY="work" can now be used in a tags/property search,
  1009. even if the category is not specified as a property in the
  1010. entry, but rather is inherited or derived from #+CATEGORY.
  1011. Thanks to Adam, Tim, and Bastien for an interesting
  1012. discussion around this issue.

  1014. <li>
  1015. Summary type improvements in column view.
  1016. <ul>
  1017. <li>
  1018. The {+} summary type can specify a printf-style output
  1019. format for computed values like this: {+;%5.2f}
  1020. This was triggered by a report by Levin.
  1021. </li>
  1022. <li>
  1023. New currency summary type {$}, which so far is just a
  1024. shorthand for {+;%.2f}. Do we need to have a currency
  1025. symbol in front of each value. Scott Jaderholm asked for
  1026. this, but I am not sure if this is already what he meant.

  1031. <h4>The date/time prompt</h4>
  1032. <p>
  1033. There have been several small but <b>very</b> useful additions to
  1034. the date prompt.
  1035. </p>
  1036. <ul>
  1037. <li>
  1038. While entering data at the date prompt, the current
  1039. interpretation of your input is shown next to your input in
  1040. the minibuffer. I find this great to understand how the
  1041. input works. If you find the extra stuff in the minibuffer
  1042. annoying, turn it off with `org-read-date-display-live'.
  1043. </li>
  1044. <li>
  1045. The date prompt now prefers to select the future. If you
  1046. enter a date without a month, and the day number is before
  1047. today (for example, on the 16th of the month you enter
  1048. "9"), Org-mode will assume next month. Similarly, if you
  1049. enter a month and no year, next year will be assumed if the
  1050. entered month is before the current, for example if you
  1051. enter "May" in September. Thanks to John Rakestraw for
  1052. this great suggestion. If you find it confusing, turn it
  1053. off with `org-read-date-prefer-future'.
  1054. </li>
  1055. <li>
  1056. When modifying an existing date using `C-c .' at the stamp,
  1057. the time or time range in the stamp are now offered as
  1058. default input at the prompt. This goes a long way to
  1059. simplifying the modification of an existing date. Thanks

  1241. <h4>Bug fixes and improvements in column view</h4>
  1242. <ul>
  1243. <li>
  1244. All the bugs described by Scott Jaderholm have been fixed
  1245. (at least I hope so&hellip;).
  1246. </li>
  1247. <li>
  1248. You can now capture a column view into a dynamic block, for
  1249. exporting or printing it. The column view can be
  1250. <ul>
  1251. <li>
  1252. global, i.e. for the entire file
  1253. </li>
  1254. <li>
  1255. local, i.e. for the subtree where the dynamic block is
  1256. </li>
  1257. <li>
  1258. from an entry with a specific :ID: property.
  1259. </li>
  1260. </ul>
  1261. <p>You can identify the entry whose column view you want to
  1262. capture by assigning an :ID: property, and use that property
  1263. in the dynamic block definition. For example:
  1264. </p>
  1265. <p>
  1266. <pre>
  1267. * Planning
  1268. :PROPERTIES:
  1269. :ID: planning-overview
  1270. :END:
  1271. [...]
  1272. * The column view
  1273. #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "planning-overview"
  1274. #+END:
  1275. </pre>
  1276. </p>
  1277. <p>
  1278. Use `C-c C-x r' to insert such a dynamic block, and you will
  1279. be prompted for the ID.
  1280. </p>
  1281. </li>
  1282. <li>
  1283. When the current column format displays TODO keyword,
  1284. priority or tags, these parts are stripped from the content
  1285. of the ITEM column, making for more compact and readable
  1286. entries. When any of these "properties" are not listed in
  1287. the current column format, they are instead retained in the
  1288. ITEM column.
  1289. </li>
  1290. <li>
  1291. You can now also edit the ITEM column with `e'.
  1292. </li>
  1293. </ul></div>
  1294. <div class="outline-4">
  1295. <h4>The agenda dispatcher</h4>
  1296. <ul>
  1297. <li>
  1298. Instead of pressing `1' to restrict an agenda command to
  1299. the current buffer, or `0' to restrict it to the current
  1300. subtree or region, you can now also press `&lt;' once or
  1301. twice, respectively. This frees up `1' and `0' for user
  1302. commands, a request by Bastien. In fact, "&lt;" cycles
  1303. through different restriction states. "1" and "0" are
  1304. still available for backward compatibility, until you bind
  1305. them to custom commands.
  1306. </li>
  1307. <li>
  1308. The access code to custom agenda commands can now contain
  1309. several characters, effectively allowing to bundle several
  1310. similar commands into a sub-keymap. This follows an
  1311. excellent proposal by Adam Spiers. For example:
  1312. <p>
  1313. <pre>
  1314. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  1315. '(("h" . "HOME + Name tag searches") ; describe prefix "h"
  1316. ("hl" tags "+HOME+Lisa")
  1317. ("hp" tags "+HOME+Peter")
  1318. ("hk" tags "+HOME+Kim")))
  1319. </pre>
  1320. </p>
  1321. </li>
  1322. <li>
  1323. The user function option in org-agenda-custom-commands may
  1324. now also be a lambda expression, following a request by
  1325. Adam Spiers.

  1329. <h4>Sorting improvements</h4>
  1330. <p>
  1331. We are using a new routine for sorting entries, courtesy of
  1332. John Wiegley. Many thanks to John.
  1333. </p>
  1334. <ul>
  1335. <li>
  1336. You can define your own function to extract a sorting key
  1337. and in this way sort entries by anything you like.
  1338. </li>
  1339. <li>
  1340. Entries can now be sorted according to the value of a
  1341. property.
  1342. </li>

  1348. <h4>HTML &lt;div&gt; structure</h4>
  1349. <p>
  1350. There is now a &lt;div&gt;-based structure in exported HTML.
  1351. </p>
  1352. <ul>
  1353. <li>
  1354. The table of context is wrapped into a div with a class
  1355. "table-of-contents".
  1356. </li>
  1357. <li>
  1358. The outline structure is embedded in &lt;div&gt; elements with
  1359. classes "outline-1", "outline-2" etc.
  1360. </li>
  1361. <li>
  1362. The postamble, containing the author information and the
  1363. date is wrapped into a div with class "postamble".
  1364. </li>
  1365. </ul>
  1366. <p>I am not sure if the class names are the best choice, let me
  1367. know if there are more "canonical" choices.
  1368. </p>
  1369. <p>
  1370. Thanks to Mike Newman and Cezar for input, and in particular
  1371. to Mike for his clearly formulated specification.

  1374. <div class="outline-4">
  1375. <h4>Other stuff</h4>
  1376. <ul>
  1377. <li>
  1378. New variable `org-agenda-window-frame-fractions' to
  1379. customize the size limits of the agenda window in the case
  1380. that you display the agenda window by reorganizing the
  1381. frame.
  1382. </li>
  1383. <li>
  1384. Drawers can be set on a per-file basis using

  1387. #+DRAWERS: HIDDEN STATE PROPERTIES
  1388. </pre>
  1389. </p>
  1390. <p>
  1391. This will define the drawers :HIDDEN: and :STATE:.
  1392. The :PROPERTY: drawer should always be part of this list, or
  1393. your properties will not be folded away.
  1394. Thanks to Richard G. Riley for this proposal.
  1395. </p>
  1396. </li>
  1397. <li>
  1398. `org-agenda-fontify-priorities' may now also be an
  1399. association list of priorities and faces, to specify the
  1400. faces of priorities in the agenda individually.
  1401. </li>
  1402. <li>
  1403. The variable `org-export-with-property-drawer' no longer
  1404. exists, please use `org-export-with-drawers' instead. Also,
  1405. the corresponding switch in the #+OPTIONS line has changed
  1406. from "p" to "d". Thanks to Bastien for pointing out that we
  1407. needed to handle not only the property drawer.
  1408. </li>
  1409. <li>
  1410. M-up and M-down now move the current line up and down (if
  1411. not at a headline, item or table). Among other things you
  1412. can use this to re-order properties in the drawer. This was
  1413. a proposal by Bastien.
  1414. </li>
  1415. <li>
  1416. New variable `org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date', based on a
  1417. request by Wanrong Lin.
  1418. </li>
  1419. <li>
  1420. Aborting remember template selection with C-g now kills the

  1475. Remember templates can now have a template name as the first
  1476. element. The name will be listed along with the selection
  1477. character when prompting for a template. It is best to have
  1478. the name start with the selection character, for example if

  1480. Thanks to Matiyam for this proposal.

  1482. <li>
  1483. `C-c C-k' will abort taking a note. You can use this in remember

  1485. change). Thanks to Bastien.
  1486. </li>
  1487. <li>

  1489. cut N sequential subtrees. This was a proposal by John.
  1490. </li>
  1491. <li>
  1492. Lines in the agenda are now bold if they have priority A and

  1495. John Wiegley for the idea and code.

  1497. <li>
  1498. New variable `org-scheduled-past-days' to set the number a
  1499. scheduled item will be listed after its date has passed.
  1500. Default is 10000, i.e. indefinitely.
  1501. </li>
  1502. <li>
  1503. New variables `org-agenda-deadline-leaders' and
  1504. `org-agenda-scheduled-leaders' to adjust the leading text o
  1505. scheduled items and deadline in the agenda. Thanks to John
  1506. Wiegley for a patch.
  1507. </li>
  1508. <li>
  1509. New sparse tree function `org-sparse-tree'. This is now the
  1510. default binding for `C-c /'. It requires one additional
  1511. keypress to select a command, but in return is provides a
  1512. single interface to all the different sparse tree commands,
  1513. with full completion support.
  1514. </li>
  1515. <li>
  1516. The variable `org-ellipsis' now defaults to the face
  1517. `org-link' because the visibility of the dots is really bad
  1518. and I have found this change very useful indeed.

  1525. <li>
  1526. New variable `org-use-property-inheritance'. Configure it

  1619. Org-ode continues to use cleaned-up version of the headline
  1620. and body as the summary and the description, respectively.
  1621. </li>
  1622. <li>
  1623. New function to go to the entry with the currently running
  1624. clock. Bound to `C-c C-x C-j', in agenda also to "J". If
  1625. you use this often, you might even want to assign a global
  1626. key. Thanks to Bernt and Bastien.
  1627. </li>
  1628. <li>
  1629. Clock entries can now have their own drawer, the :CLOCK:
  1630. drawer. Check out the variable `org-clock-into-drawer' for
  1631. configuration of this feature. The default is to create a
  1632. drawer when the second clocking line gets added to an entry.
  1633. Note that "CLOCK" has been added to the default value of
  1634. `org-drawers', but if you have configured that variable, you
  1635. must go back and add "CLOCK" yourself to get this drawer
  1636. folded away. Thanks to Tom Weissman for pointing out that
  1637. too many clock entries are visually annoying.
  1638. </li>
  1639. <li>
  1640. `C-c C-x C-r' no longer tries to find the first clocktable
  1641. in a buffer and then updates it. Instead, it will update
  1642. the clocktable at point if there is one (same as C-c C-c
  1643. will do if the cursor is in the "#+BEGIN" line of the
  1644. table). If there is none at point, a new one will be
  1645. inserted. This change was necessary because the new :scope
  1646. parameter allows to have several clocktables in a buffer.
  1647. Thanks to Bastien for pointing this out.
  1648. To update all dynamic blocks in a file, use `C-u C-c C-x C-u'.
  1649. </li>
  1650. <li>
  1651. The function `org-remember' can now be called with a
  1652. template selection key as argument. This helps to make key
  1653. bindings that go directly to a specific template without
  1654. being prompted for a template, like this:
  1655. <p>
  1656. <pre>
  1657. (global-set-key [f5] (lambda () (interactive) (org-remember "j")))
  1658. </pre>

  1661. Thanks to Richard G Riley for bringing this up.
  1662. </p>
  1663. </li>
  1664. <li>
  1665. `C-n' and `C-p' are back to their default binding
  1666. (next/previous line) in the agenda buffer. Enough people,
  1667. including recently Denis Bueno, have complained about this,
  1668. and I agree it is not good to break habits like that.
  1669. </li>
  1670. <li>
  1671. `C-x C-s' in an agenda buffer now saves all org-mode buffers
  1672. (also `s' does this).
  1673. </li>
  1674. <li>
  1675. Setting schedule or deadline dates from the agenda now
  1676. produces a note in the agenda, similarly to what happens
  1677. with S-left/right.
  1678. </li>
  1679. <li>
  1680. Using a prefix argument for `C-c C-d' or `C-c C-s' will
  1681. remove the deadline or scheduling date from an item. Thanks
  1682. to Wanrong Lin for this proposal.
  1683. </li>
  1684. <li>
  1685. New variable `org-agenda-compact-blocks'. When set, the
  1686. space between blocks in a block agenda is reduced as much as
  1687. possible, to show more items on a single screen.
  1688. </li>
  1689. <li>
  1690. The variable `org-agenda-tags-column' (renamed from
  1691. `org-agenda-align-tags-to-column') can now also be negative,

  1740. Both the category and the archive location in a (sub)tree of
  1741. the buffer can now be specified using a property, for
  1742. example:
  1743. <p>
  1744. <pre>
  1745. * Tree with special properties
  1746. :PROPERTIES:
  1747. :CATEGORY: Examples
  1748. :ARCHIVE: /some/special/file::
  1749. :END:
  1750. </pre>
  1751. </p>
  1752. <p>
  1753. This is a much cleaner way of dealing with multiple
  1754. categories and archives in a single file. The preferred use
  1755. of the <code>#+CATEGORY</code> and <code>#+ARCHIVE</code> lines is now to set a
  1756. <b>single</b> default for the file which is then locally
  1757. overruled by properties. This was a proposal from Bastien
  1758. if I remember correctly. Multiple <code>#+</code> lines still work
  1759. and I don't plan to remove this support soon, but I
  1760. encourage you to stop using them.
  1761. </p>
  1762. </li>
  1763. <li>
  1764. The clocktable has a new <code>:scope</code> parameter that determines
  1765. the range in the file from which clock entries should be
  1766. taken. This can be anything from the local subtree to the
  1767. entire buffer to even the full list of agenda files. Legal
  1768. values are:
  1769. <table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups" frame="hsides">
  1770. <col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col>
  1771. <thead>
  1772. <tr><th>value</th><th>scope</th></tr>
  1773. </thead>
  1774. <tbody>
  1775. <tr><td>nil</td><td>the current buffer or narrowed region</td></tr>
  1776. <tr><td>file</td><td>the full current buffer</td></tr>
  1777. <tr><td>subtree</td><td>the subtree where the clocktable is located</td></tr>
  1778. <tr><td>treeN</td><td>the surrounding level N tree, for example tree3</td></tr>
  1779. <tr><td>tree</td><td>the surrounding level 1 tree</td></tr>
  1780. <tr><td>agenda</td><td>all agenda files</td></tr>
  1781. </tbody>
  1782. </table>
  1783. <p>
  1784. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer and Bernt Hansen for
  1785. inspiration. Thanks to cranreuch (what is you full name?)
  1786. for mentioning, at the right moment, that the clocktable is
  1787. not so bad - that remark made it seem worthwhile to add
  1788. features.
  1789. </p>
  1790. </li>
  1791. <li>
  1792. The commands to import a table and to convert a region to a
  1793. table can now handle comma-separated values (CSV). The
  1794. algorithm does not yet treat quoting correctly, but for
  1795. basic input it works.
  1796. </li>
  1797. <li>
  1798. When modifying an existing time stamp, or when entering the
  1799. second stamp of a range, the date prompt will now
  1800. consistently default to the date/time in the existing stamp.
  1801. This was triggered by Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
  1802. </li>
  1803. <li>
  1804. At the date/time prompt, there is a new way to specify a
  1805. range of hours, by using "+DURATION" after the time. For
  1806. example:
  1807. <p>
  1808. <pre>
  1809. 14:00+2 means 14:00-16:00
  1810. 2pm+2:30 means 14:00-16:30
  1811. </pre>
  1812. </p>
  1813. <p>
  1814. Again, Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
  1815. </p>
  1816. </li>
  1817. <li>
  1818. When you use the function `turn-on-orgstruct++' to turn on
  1819. orgstruct-mode, the special org-mode settings for
  1820. auto-filling, indentation and paragraphs are exported into
  1821. the buffer, so that typing list items with indentation works
  1822. better. This was Bastien's idea and request.
  1823. </li>
  1824. <li>
  1825. New variable `org-priority-start-cycle-with-default'. When
  1826. t (the default), priority cycling will initially set the
  1827. default priority and then increase or decrease. When nil,
  1828. the first priority set by cycling is already 1 different
  1829. from the default priority. This was mostly driven by
  1830. Bastien.
  1831. </li>
  1832. <li>
  1833. In column view: When an entry has a property for a summary
  1834. column defined, its value is normally overwritten by the sum
  1835. of all the children's values each time you enter column
  1836. view. Now there is an exception to this rule: If none of
  1837. the children has that particular property defined, the
  1838. parent's value stays. In this way you can still place TODO
  1839. items under such an entry without getting the property value
  1840. changed. Thanks to Russel Adams for pointing out that this
  1841. is a better way of doing things.
  1842. </li>
  1843. <li>
  1844. In column view, computed values are now bold face, and
  1845. trying to edit them is an error. I think this works, but
  1846. testing is appreciated.
  1847. </li>
  1848. <li>
  1849. New command `org-occur-in-agenda-files', this is basically
  1850. the quick command John Wiegley proposed the other day, but
  1851. it also works when the agenda files are not yet in buffers.
  1852. The key is `C-c C-x /', any better proposals?
  1853. </li>
  1854. <li>
  1855. Links containing a space will now be handled correctly when
  1856. calling the browser. Note that you need to enclose such
  1857. links in square or angular brackets.

  1920. and a note.
  1921. </p>
  1922. </li>
  1923. <li>
  1924. You can now set the format of the string for each day in the
  1925. agenda and timeline buffers. You can use a format string
  1926. interpreted by `format-time-string', or you can write your
  1927. own function. Configure the new variable
  1928. `org-agenda-format-date'. Thanks to Levin for triggering
  1929. this development with a patch.
  1930. </li>
  1931. <li>
  1932. The default for `org-remember-store-without-prompt' is now
  1933. t, in order to better match the original intent of
  1934. remember.el (storing a note with minimum interruption of
  1935. work flow). Since we can assign files and headlines to
  1936. templates, I guess this takes care of selecting a filing
  1937. location in most cases. For interactive filing, you now
  1938. need a prefix command when exiting `remember'.
  1939. </li>
  1940. <li>
  1941. `org-goto' (bound to `C-c C-j') now uses an indirect buffer
  1942. and has additional commands enabled: Org-occur with `C-c /'
  1943. or even faster with `/', and the commands needed to select
  1944. and copy a region. This make `org-goto' a more general
  1945. lookup command instead of only a jumping command. Remember
  1946. that you can exit with `Q' to go back to the original
  1947. location. Thanks to William Henney for this idea.
  1948. </li>
  1949. <li>
  1950. Setting the priority with S-up/down now cycles back to a
  1951. state where no priority is specified. This was requested by
  1952. Rick Moynihan.
  1953. </li>
  1954. <li>
  1955. You can store a remember note to the <b>last used</b> location.
  1956. So if you select a location interactively once, you can
  1957. re-use it without having to find it again. For this, exit
  1958. the remember buffer with `C-u C-u C-c C-c'. The leading
  1959. comment in the remember buffer will tell exactly where the
  1960. note goes if you exit with a particular command.
  1961. Thanks to Maxim Loginov for this idea.
  1962. </li>
  1963. <li>
  1964. On Emacs 23, the headline faces for org-mode are now
  1965. inherited from the outline faces. This is just a
  1966. convenience, so that you only have to configure one set of
  1967. faces, and that will then be outline-1 .. outline-8. You
  1968. will actually not see any difference in org-mode, because
  1969. Stefan Monnier has made the outline faces in Emacs 23 to
  1970. match the current org-mode faces.
  1971. <p>

  1990. There is now a separate interface for fast and directly
  1991. setting a TODO keyword. This interface kicks in when you
  1992. have configured keys for TODO keywords like
  1993. <p>
  1994. <pre>
  1995. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | DONE(d) CANCELED(c)
  1996. </pre>
  1997. </p>
  1998. <p>
  1999. C-c C-t still does the cycling thing, you need to use a
  2000. prefix argument to get to the fast interface. Or configure
  2001. the variable `org-use-fast-todo-selection' to t, then this
  2002. will be the default and the prefix argument will make the
  2003. command fall back to cycling.
  2004. </p>
  2005. <p>
  2006. The tag selection no longer does include TODO keywords -
  2007. Leo's arguments have convinced me that this is not a good
  2008. idea. If you'd like to see the TODO keywords in the tags
  2009. interface anyway, set the variable
  2010. `org-fast-tag-selection-include-todo'. Thanks to Leo and
  2011. others for input on this issue.
  2012. </p>
  2013. </li>
  2014. <li>
  2015. New variable `org-edit-timestamp-down-means-later'. When
  2016. set, `S-down' on a timestamp will change the timestamp to
  2017. later. Thanks to Raman for this idea.
  2018. </li>
  2019. <li>
  2020. Property names can now contain non-ascii word characters.
  2021. This follows a request from Daniel Clemente.
  2022. </li>
  2023. <li>
  2024. For export, the date that should be given in the exported
  2025. file can now be set to a specific value with a line like
  2026. <p>
  2027. <pre>
  2028. #+DATE: 15 November 2003
  2029. </pre>
  2030. </p>
  2031. <p>
  2032. If you want to use the date/time when the file was created,
  2033. use a format string that will be interpreted by
  2034. `format-time-string', for example:
  2035. </p>
  2036. <p>
  2037. <pre>
  2038. #+DATE: %Y/%m/%d %X
  2039. </pre>
  2040. </p>

  2042. <li>
  2043. The default of `org-deadline-warning-days' has changed to 14
  2044. days. 30 was really too much, I suspect most people (me
  2045. included) have changed this.
  2046. </li>
  2047. <li>
  2048. When a deadline has an individual lead time, this lead time
  2049. obviously overrules `org-deadline-warning-days'. However,
  2050. if you bind `org-deadline-warning-days' to a number &lt;=0, for
  2051. example during a custom agenda command, then the absolute
  2052. value of this number will be enforced also when a different
  2053. lead time has been specified. This is useful to get a list
  2054. of all deadlines coming up in the next N days.

  2100. You can now define different faces for different TODO
  2101. keywords. This request has come up frequently, so here it
  2102. is: Use the variable `org-todo-keyword-faces'.
  2103. <p>
  2104. A Here is a configuration example:
  2105. </p>
  2106. <p>
  2107. <pre>
  2108. (setq org-todo-keyword-faces
  2109. '(("TODO" . org-warning)
  2110. ("DEFERRED" . shadow)
  2111. ("CANCELED" . (:foreground "blue" :weight bold
  2112. :underline t))))
  2113. </pre>
  2114. </p>
  2115. <p>
  2116. Org-mode continue still use `org-todo' and `org-done' for
  2117. keywords that have no specific face assigned.
  2118. </p>
  2119. </li>
  2120. <li>
  2121. Some People use TODO states more like tags. For them the
  2122. TODO keywords mark special states and they like to quickly
  2123. switch between states in arbitrary sequence. The standard
  2124. TODO interface is not perfect for this, because it assumes
  2125. that the states are reached in sequence. However, the fast
  2126. tag setting interface is in fact perfect for this. You can
  2127. now "misuse" the TAG selection interface to also set TODO
  2128. states. All you need to do is to assign keys to the TODO
  2129. states, just like you also do for tags.
  2130. <p>
  2131. <pre>
  2132. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | CANCELED(c) DONE(d)
  2133. #+TAGS: @HOME(h) @OFFICE(o) @SHOP(s)
  2134. </pre>
  2135. </p>
  2136. <p>
  2137. Next time you try to set tags with C-c C-c, the todo states
  2138. will be offered as well, and the corresponding key will
  2139. switch the entry to that state.
  2140. </p>
  2141. </li>
  2142. <li>
  2143. New variable `org-archive-save-context-info' governs if
  2144. information that would be lost by moving a subtree to the
  2145. archive file, should be stored as special properties. For
  2146. example,
  2147. <p>
  2148. <pre>
  2149. (setq org-archive-save-context-info '(itags category))
  2150. </pre>
  2151. </p>
  2152. <p>
  2153. will store the inherited tags and the category in properties
  2154. ARCHIVE_ITAGS and ARCHIVE_CATEGORY, respectively. The
  2155. default setting for this variable is to save everything that
  2156. could be lost. This was a proposal by John Wiegley.
  2157. </p>
  2158. </li>
  2159. <li>
  2160. Sorting (`C-c ^') can use the use the priority to sort. Use
  2161. the "p" and "P" keys at the prompt. John Wiegley, again.
  2162. </li>
  2163. <li>
  2164. `Org-ellipsis' can now also be a face to make the folding
  2165. ellipsis more visible. This is based on a post by Tassilo
  2166. Horn. Since `org-ellipsis' only works in Org-mode, you
  2167. might want to use Tassilo Horn's hack directly in order to
  2168. affect the folding ellipsis globally.
  2169. </li>
  2170. <li>
  2171. Scheduling info is no longer removed when an entry is marked
  2172. CLOSED. This was a request by Brian van den Broek. Let me
  2173. know if this breaks anything for you - then it will become
  2174. an option.

  2197. (sub)tree (for example selected with `C-c @'), the title for
  2198. the exported document is taken to be the heading of the
  2199. subtree. The sublevels become top-level entries in the
  2200. export. Furthermore, if the head entry of the tree has or
  2201. inherits an EXPORT_FILE_NAME property, that file name (with
  2202. appropriately substituted extension) will be used for the
  2203. exported tree. Thanks to Patrick Drechsler and Jost Burkart
  2204. for these ideas.
  2205. </li>
  2206. <li>
  2207. org-special-ctrl-a/e has a third allowed value, `reversed'.
  2208. When it is set to this value, the first C-a or C-e command
  2209. behaves normally, i.e. it goes to the true beginning or end
  2210. of the line. Only when you press C-a or C-e immediately
  2211. again, the the "special" position will be found. Additional
  2212. presses of the same key jump between the two positions. I
  2213. like this a lot better than the `t' setting, because now the
  2214. keys behave more predictable and still give easy access to
  2215. the special locations.
  2216. </li>
  2217. <li>
  2218. New command to set or remove a tag from all headlines in a
  2219. region.
  2220. </li>
  2221. <li>
  2222. When Org-mode visits a file, it will initially hide all
  2223. drawers.
  2224. </li>
  2225. <li>
  2226. The default of the variable `org-cycle-global-at-bob' is now
  2227. nil, meaning that TAB no longer does global visibility
  2228. cycling at the beginning of the buffer.
  2229. </li>
  2230. <li>
  2231. Bug fixes, in particular the problems with scheduling and
  2232. deadlines introduced in 5.05. Please check carefully if
  2233. this works correctly again, and complain if not.

  2274. Bastien's `org-export-latex.el' is now part of the org-mode
  2275. distribution. You can export an Org-mode document to a
  2276. LaTeX file with `C-c C-e l'. For more options, see the
  2277. manual, and the commentary in the Lisp file. Kudos to
  2278. Bastien for contributing this frequently requested feature.
  2279. I am sure this has been tough because of the many different
  2280. ways I have been allowing LaTeX snippets and environments to
  2281. be incorporated in lazy free-format ways.
  2282. </li>
  2283. <li>
  2284. Org-mode has now an extension mechanism for the hyperlink
  2285. system. This should clear the road for all those mairix and
  2286. other ideas that have been floating around. Now it is on
  2287. <b>you</b> to write and share new link types for Org-mode. The
  2288. interface for adding a new link type is described in the
  2289. appendix of the manual, section A2. The unsolved problem is
  2290. currently how to handle the new link types for
  2291. export/publishing.
  2292. </li>
  2293. <li>
  2294. New <b>global</b> commands `org-open-at-point-global' and
  2295. `org-insert-link-global'. You can bind these commands to
  2296. global keys and use them to insert and follow Org-mode-like
  2297. links anywhere in Emacs. Thanks to Adam Spiers for this
  2298. excellent idea.
  2299. </li>
  2300. <li>
  2301. Each deadline timestamp may now specify its own interval of
  2302. lead-time display, given in days, weeks, months or years.
  2303. The syntax is like this
  2304. <p>
  2305. <pre>
  2306. DEADLINE: &lt;2007-08-13 Mon -5d&gt;
  2307. </pre>
  2308. </p>
  2309. <p>
  2310. When combined with a repeater, the repeater has to come
  2311. first:
  2312. </p>
  2313. <p>
  2314. <pre>
  2315. DEADLINE: &lt;2007-08-13 Mon +2w -5d&gt;
  2316. </pre>
  2317. </p>
  2318. <p>
  2319. You may now also customize the faces that are used in the
  2320. agenda to indicate the distance of an approaching deadline.
  2321. See the new option `org-agenda-deadline-faces'.
  2322. </p>
  2323. <p>
  2324. Thanks to Pavel Chalmoviansky and John Wiegley proposals in
  2325. this direction.
  2326. </p>
  2327. </li>
  2328. <li>
  2329. New option `org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all'. When
  2330. set to nil, repeating time stamps will only show up once in
  2331. the agenda, either today or in the near future. Other
  2332. matches will be ignored. Thanks to John Wiegley for this
  2333. proposal.
  2334. </li>
  2335. <li>
  2336. New variable `org-remember-store-without-prompt'. When set,
  2337. exiting the remember buffer with C-c C-c will store the note
  2338. without further prompts to the default location, and `C-u
  2339. C-c C-c' will get the prompts for file and location. So
  2340. this variable reverses the prefix-argument functionality for
  2341. storing remember notes. This follows a request from John
  2342. Wiegley.
  2343. </li>
  2344. <li>
  2345. A new function `org-agenda-to-appt' activates all
  2346. appointments for the current day so that Emacs will display
  2347. reminders. This uses appt.el. Thanks to Bastien for this
  2348. function.
  2349. </li>
  2350. <li>
  2351. You can now set default values for properties that can be
  2352. inherited by all entries in a buffer, or by all entries
  2353. globally. Global properties are set in the variable
  2354. `org-global-properties', like this:
  2355. <p>
  2356. (setq org-global-properties '(("NAME" "This is the value")))
  2357. </p>
  2358. <p>
  2359. Buffer-local values are set like this:
  2360. </p>
  2361. <p>
  2362. #+PROPERTY: NAME This is the value
  2363. </p>
  2364. <p>
  2365. When using org-entry-get to get the value of a property with
  2366. the `inherit' flag and the hierarchy above the entry does
  2367. not contain this property, the buffer-local and global lists
  2368. are checked as well. This is mostly useful (I think) to set
  2369. the list of allowed values for a property. Thanks to Bernt
  2370. Hansen and Bastien for these ideas.

  2487. </li>
  2488. <li>
  2489. You can define <i>allowed values</i> for a property. When
  2490. these are defined, you can change the value of a property
  2491. with S-left and S-right. And you may use completion when
  2492. inserting the property. This goes a long way to prevent
  2493. typos when entering properties.

  2496. <li>
  2497. Improvements for column view.

  2499. <li>
  2500. In column view, you may use the keys S-left/right (and
  2501. also the keys `n' and `p') to switch from one allowed
  2502. value to the next.
  2503. </li>
  2504. <li>
  2505. You can define summaries for columns. For example,
  2506. parents can contain the sum of all children values of a
  2507. property, or the parent node can have a check box property
  2508. that is automatically checked when all children's boxes are
  2509. checked.
  2510. </li>

  2585. <h4>Orgstruct minor mode</h4>
  2586. <p>
  2587. There is a new minor mode, orgstruct-mode. This modes works
  2588. in a similar way as Orgtbl-mode. It can be used to export
  2589. the Org-mode structure-editing commands into arbitrary major
  2590. modes in Emacs. For example, you can use it in Mail-mode to
  2591. easily create lists.
  2592. </p>
  2593. <p>
  2594. The functionality in Orgstruct mode is only active, if the
  2595. cursor is in a line that looks either like a headline, or
  2596. like the first line of a plain list item. Then the commands
  2597. `TAB', `M-cursor', `M-S-cursor', `M-RET', `M-S-RET', `C-c ^',
  2598. `C-c C-c', and `C-c -' will do structure-related editing just
  2599. like in Org-mode. If the cursor is not in such a line, all
  2600. these keys will do whatever the major mode or other active
  2601. minor modes have assigned to them.
  2602. </p>
  2603. <p>
  2604. Orgstruct-mode is the result of a proposal by Raman, quite
  2605. some time ago. It has taken a long time, but here is finally
  2606. the promised implementation.

  2609. <div class="outline-4">
  2610. <h4>Drawers</h4>
  2611. <p>
  2612. The new concept of <i>drawers</i> allows to create sections
  2613. that remain folded during visibility cycling. Drawers need
  2614. to be configured using the variable `org-drawers'. A drawer
  2615. starts with a line containing only the name of the drawer
  2616. bracketed by colons. It ends with :END:. For example,
  2617. after setting
  2618. </p>
  2619. <p>
  2620. <pre>
  2621. (setq org-drawers '("PROPERTIES" "HIDDEN"))
  2622. </pre>
  2623. </p>
  2624. <p>
  2625. you can then create drawers like this:
  2626. </p>
  2627. <p>
  2628. <pre>
  2629. :HIDDEN:
  2630. here is some stuff that remains hidden
  2631. unless TAB is pressed directly in that line
  2632. :END:
  2633. </pre>
  2634. </p>
  2635. <p>
  2636. The PROPERTIES drawer has special meaning for ORG-mode, it
  2637. contains properties of an entry (see below).
  2638. </p>
  2639. </div>
  2640. <div class="outline-4">
  2641. <h4>Properties and Column View</h4>
  2642. <ul>
  2643. <li>
  2644. Entries in Org-mode can now have arbitrary <i>properties</i>
  2645. associated with them. Org-mode handles some default
  2646. properties like the TODO state, the priority, the local
  2647. tags, and planning information like DEADLINE and SCHEDULED.
  2648. In addition, you can assign arbitrary properties by creating
  2649. a property drawer and inserting a line like
  2650. <p>
  2651. <pre>
  2652. :PROPNAME: This is the value of the property
  2653. </pre>
  2654. </p>
  2655. <p>
  2656. Org-mode has an API for properties, if you want to write a
  2657. program using properties, use the functions
  2658. `org-entry-properties', `org-entry-get', `org-entry-put',
  2659. and `org-entry-delete'.
  2660. </p>
  2661. </li>
  2662. <li>
  2663. Planning information like DEADLINE can be hidden in the
  2664. properties drawer.
  2665. <p>
  2666. If the PROPERTIES drawer starts in the first line after a
  2667. headline, also the DEADLINE, SCHEDULED and CLOCK information
  2668. will be inserted inside the drawer. If no PROPERTIES drawer
  2669. is present, or if it does not start in the line right after
  2670. the headline, this information remains in the lines directly
  2671. after the headline, outside the drawer.
  2672. </p>
  2673. </li>
  2674. <li>
  2675. TAGS searches can now also query properties. For example,
  2676. the search
  2677. <p>
  2678. <pre>
  2679. LEVEL=3+BOSS+ASSIGNED="Hans"/WAITING
  2680. </pre>
  2681. </p>
  2682. <p>
  2683. will find entries that
  2684. </p><ul>
  2685. <li>
  2686. are level 3
  2687. </li>
  2688. <li>
  2689. have the tag BOSS

  2698. </p>
  2699. <p>
  2700. <pre>
  2701. *** WAITING Clean up the factory :BOSS:
  2702. :PROPERTIES:

  2704. :END:
  2705. </pre>
  2706. </p>
  2707. <p>
  2708. You may also use a regular expression to match against a
  2709. property value. For example, to find stuff assigned to Hans
  2710. or Sarah, use
  2711. </p>
  2712. <p>
  2713. <pre>
  2714. ASSIGNED={^\(Hans\|Sarah\)$}

  2720. Column View is a special way to look at property values in
  2721. tabular form. Column View can be used in any org-mode
  2722. file, and also in any agenda buffer. It works by placing
  2723. an overlay over each headline (or agenda line) that shows a
  2724. table of selected properties. You can look at and edit
  2725. properties from this view. Which properties are shown in
  2726. the table must be set up using the COLUMNS property. You
  2727. can set up different property columns on different levels
  2728. of an outline tree. For example:
  2729. <p>
  2730. <pre>
  2731. * People
  2732. :PROPERTIES:
  2733. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name
  2734. :END:
  2735. ** Family
  2736. :PROPERTIES:
  2737. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %3Age
  2738. :END:
  2739. *** Sam
  2740. Info about Sam, including a property list with Name and Age.
  2741. *** Sarah
  2742. Info about Sarah, including a property list with Name and Age.
  2743. ** Office
  2744. :PROPERTIES:
  2745. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %Function %Salary
  2746. :END:
  2747. *** Boss
  2748. Info about the Boss, including a property list with Name,
  2749. Function and Salary (if only we knew....).
  2750. </pre>
  2751. </p>
  2752. <p>
  2753. Now we have defined three different sets of columns. If
  2754. you switch to column view in the <i>Family</i> section, you
  2755. will get a different table than if you do it in the
  2756. <i>Office</i> section. However, if you switch to column
  2757. view with the cursor on the <i>People</i> section, the
  2758. table will cover all entries, but contain only the
  2759. <i>Name</i>.
  2760. </p>
  2761. <p>
  2762. Column view does, for the time being, only work on Emacs.
  2763. The XEmacs implementation needs a bit of work.
  2764. </p>
  2765. </li>
  2766. <li>
  2767. Properties can be used in table formulas. To access the
  2768. value of the property :XYZ:, use $PROP_XYZ. The property
  2769. needs to be defined in the hierarchy above the table, not
  2770. necessarily in the same entry as the table. This was a
  2771. request by Eddward. File-wide constants can be defined with
  2772. #+CONSTANTS, see below.

  2805. <h4>Spreadsheet</h4>
  2806. <ul>
  2807. <li>
  2808. In the spreadsheet, the evaluation of formulas has changed.
  2809. Previously, first the column formulas would be evaluated
  2810. everywhere, and then the field formulas would kick in, and
  2811. in some cases overwrite the results of column formulas in
  2812. the appropriate fields. This had the side effect that some
  2813. formulas might always use the wrong, intermediate content of
  2814. a field that is computed both by a column and a field
  2815. formula.
  2816. <p>
  2817. From now on, column formulas will no longer temporarily
  2818. overwrite field formulas. This gives much more consistent
  2819. results. For example you can now finally have a column of
  2820. increasing numbers by setting the first field to a fixed
  2821. number, and let the rest follow from a column formula.
  2822. </p>
  2823. <p>
  2824. Here is an example
  2825. </p>
  2826. <p>
  2827. <pre>

  2832. </pre>
  2833. </p>
  2834. </li>
  2835. <li>
  2836. Constants for formulas in spreadsheets are globally defined
  2837. with the variable `org-table-formula-constants'. File-local
  2838. constants can now be set with a line like:
  2839. <p>
  2840. <pre>
  2841. #+CONSTANTS: c=299792458. pi=3.14 eps=2.4e-6

  2946. <ul>
  2947. <li>
  2948. There is now a special version of `org.el' for XEmacs.
  2949. Before installation, as an XEmacs user you must rename the
  2950. file org_xemacs.el to org.el, i.e. you must overwrite org.el
  2951. with the xemacs version. For example:
  2952. <p>
  2953. <pre>
  2954. mv org_xemacs.el org.el
  2955. </pre>
  2956. </p>
  2957. <p>
  2958. This is necessary so that I can make use of some features
  2959. that would be cumbersome to support in a single file. The
  2960. XEmacs version is derived from the Emacs version with a
  2961. program, so no reason to fear that I might be dropping
  2962. XEmacs support any time soon. Sorry for the trouble.
  2963. </p>
  2964. </li>
  2965. </ul></div>
  2966. <div class="outline-3">
  2967. <h3>Details</h3>
  2968. <ul>
  2969. <li>
  2970. A time stamp may now contain a range of times. So you no
  2971. longer need to use two separate stamps to indicate a time
  2972. interval on a single day. For example
  2973. <p>
  2974. <pre>
  2975. &lt;2007-06-18 Mon 17:30-18:20&gt;
  2976. </pre>
  2977. </p>
  2978. <p>
  2979. This is now fully supported, including changing the time
  2980. with S-up/down while the cursor is on the end time. Also,
  2981. da the date/time prompt, you can simply write your time like
  2982. 12:00-14:00 and the range will be inserted.
  2983. </p>
  2984. <p>
  2985. This was proposed by Leo some time ago, and recently by
  2986. Michael.
  2987. </p>
  2988. </li>
  2989. <li>
  2990. You may specify clocking times by hand (i.e. without
  2991. clocking in and out) using this syntax.
  2992. <p>
  2993. <pre>
  2994. CLOCK: =&gt; 2:00
  2995. </pre>
  2996. </p>
  2997. <p>
  2998. Thanks to Scott Jaderholm for this proposal.
  2999. </p>
  3000. </li>
  3001. <li>
  3002. TAGS may now contain language-specific word characters, as
  3003. long as they are matched by the "[:alnum:]" regexp syntax.
  3004. This is for Emacs only, the XEmacs version continues to use
  3005. the character class "a-zA-Z0-9_@" for tag names. Thanks to
  3006. David Smith for a patch to this effect (a modified version
  3007. of that patch was applied). I am considering to make the
  3008. same change for TODO keywords, but not yet. Note that files
  3009. using localization features may not work correctly in the
  3010. Emacs configuration of another user, so if you are sharing
  3011. org-mode files with other users, it might still be best to
  3012. stick to the ASCII characters.
  3013. </li>
  3014. <li>
  3015. Promotion and demotion of plain list items (commands M-left,
  3016. M-right) no longer changes the indentation by just one
  3017. space. Instead, it uses intelligence gathered from the
  3018. surrounding list structure to do the right thing. Thanks to
  3019. William Henney for starting the discussion about this.
  3020. </li>
  3021. <li>
  3022. TAB does now a better job of indenting lines.
  3023. <ul>
  3024. <li>
  3025. After tables and code segments (lines starting with ":"),
  3026. indentation goes back to what it was before (thanks to
  3027. William Henney for suggesting this behavior).
  3028. </li>
  3029. <li>
  3030. When plain lists items are involved, we had a long
  3031. discussion on emacs-orgmode where I tried to show that a
  3032. too-sophisticated implementation will still be easily
  3033. fooled. Here is what I have implemented now - lets see
  3034. if we can agree on this:
  3035. <p>
  3036. Indentation will flatten lists with the same bullet type,
  3037. but indent another bullet type further. The time when
  3038. this fails is in a nested list, when you want to get back
  3039. out to a previous level. For example
  3040. </p>
  3041. <p>
  3042. <pre>
  3043. - item 1
  3044. - item 2
  3045. + item 2a
  3046. + item 2b
  3047. - item 3
  3048. </pre>
  3049. </p>
  3050. <p>
  3051. When using TAB on every line in this list, the structure
  3052. will change to
  3053. </p>
  3054. <p>
  3055. <pre>
  3056. - item 1
  3057. - item 2
  3058. + item 2a
  3059. + item 2b
  3060. - item 3
  3061. </pre>
  3062. </p>
  3063. <p>
  3064. So you need to change the level of the last line by hand,
  3065. using promotion and demotion functions.

  3094. You can now specify column groups in tables, to the effect
  3095. that the groups will be separated by vertical lines in HTML
  3096. and ASCII output. Column groups are specified by the
  3097. characters "&lt;" and "&gt;" in a special table row. "&lt;" starts a
  3098. group, "&gt;" ends a group (in each case including the the
  3099. column where the character is specified). You may also use
  3100. "&lt;&gt;" to make a group a single column wide. For example:
  3101. <p>
  3102. <pre>
  3103. | | N | N^2 | N^3 | N^4 | sqrt(n) | sqrt[4](N) |
  3104. |---+----+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
  3105. | / | &lt;&gt; | &lt; | | &gt; | &lt; | &gt; |
  3106. | # | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
  3107. | # | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 1.4142 | 1.1892 |
  3108. | # | 3 | 9 | 27 | 81 | 1.7321 | 1.3161 |
  3109. #+TBLFM: $3=$2^2::$4=$2^3::$5=$2^4::$6=sqrt($2)::$7=sqrt(sqrt(($2))
  3110. </pre>
  3111. </p>
  3112. <p>
  3113. A table row with with nothing but "/" in the first field is
  3114. never exported, but can be used to place column group
  3115. information into the table. In this table, we create a
  3116. group for column 2, one for columns 3-5 and one for columns
  3117. 6-7. HTML export will render a vertical line between these
  3118. groups.
  3119. </p>
  3120. <p>
  3121. Because HTML does not require closing &lt;colgroup&gt; tags with
  3122. &lt;/colgroup&gt;), you can also simply start a new column
  3123. wherever you want a vertical line:
  3124. </p>
  3125. <p>
  3126. <pre>
  3127. | N | N^2 | N^3 | N^4 | sqrt(n) | sqrt[4](N0 |
  3128. |---+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
  3129. | / | &lt; | &lt; | | &lt; | |
  3130. </pre>
  3131. </p>
  3132. </li>
  3133. <li>
  3134. Vertical lines are now also omitted in ASCII export, unless
  3135. grouping explicitly requests these lines.
  3136. </li>
  3137. <li>
  3138. The default for `org-show-following-heading' is now nil,
  3139. meaning that sparse trees will be more compact. This has
  3140. become possible due to in important remark by Jason Dunsmore
  3141. who pointed out that TAB should behave differently in the
  3142. inconsistent trees produced by the sparse tree commands.
  3143. TAB does now make sure that the heading after a freshly
  3144. unfolded tree is made visible at all, removing the confusing
  3145. behavior we had before.
  3146. </li>
  3147. <li>
  3148. Several bugs fixed. In particular:
  3149. <ul>
  3150. <li>
  3151. Strings produced by agenda batch processing with
  3152. `org-batch-agenda' and `org-batch-agenda-csv' are now
  3153. properly encoded, so that you should be able to use
  3154. special characters in other languages as along as your
  3155. post-processing program handles them correctly. At least
  3156. for Emacs this should work now, but have not yet figured
  3157. out how to do this in XEmacs.

  3200. <li>
  3201. Cyclic time stamps that repeat after an interval.

  3232. Time stamps can contain a repeater code, like +1w for once
  3233. every week, +2d for every two days, etc. For example,
  3234. </li>
  3235. </ul>
  3236. <p><span class="timestamp">2007-05-16 Wed 12:30 +1w</span><br/>
  3237. </p>
  3238. <p>
  3239. will apply to every Wednesday, starting from the date given.
  3240. I believe this syntax was actually suggested by someone on
  3241. the mailing list, but I cannot find the email back. To
  3242. collect your credit, let me know!
  3243. </p>
  3244. <ul>
  3245. <li>
  3246. You can use an sexp diary entry (with the syntax used by the
  3247. Emacs calendar/diary) in a time stamp, like this:
  3248. <p>
  3249. *** The nerd club meets on 2nd Thursday of every month
  3250. </p></li>
  3251. </ul>
  3252. <p><span class="timestamp">%%(diary-float t 4 2)</span><br/>
  3253. </p>
  3254. <ul>
  3255. <li>
  3256. You can put diary-style sexp entries directly into an
  3257. org-mode file, where they will be interpreted just like they
  3258. would in the diary. For example
  3259. <ul>
  3260. <li>
  3261. Birthdays and similar stuff
  3262. </li>
  3263. </ul>
  3264. <p>#+CATEGORY: Holiday
  3265. %%(org-calendar-holiday) ; special function for holiday names
  3266. #+CATEGORY: Ann
  3267. %%(diary-anniversary 14 5 1956) Artur Dent %d is years old
  3268. %%(diary-anniversary 2 10 1869) Mahatma Gandhi
  3269. </p>
  3270. <p>
  3271. These entries must start at column 0 to be evaluated.
  3272. </p>
  3273. <p>
  3274. It turns out that evaluating the entries in an org-mode file
  3275. is actually faster than in the diary itself, because using
  3276. the diary has some overhead (creating fancy diary display,
  3277. then reading and re-interpreting the entries). I have moved
  3278. all the sexp entries from my diary into an org-mode file,
  3279. put in a few categories, and then turned off
  3280. `org-agenda-include-diary'. This has led to a noticeably
  3281. faster agenda display.
  3282. </p>
  3283. </li>
  3284. <li>
  3285. New command `org-replace-region-by-html' that converts the
  3286. current region from org-mode syntax into HTML. For example,
  3287. you might write an itemized list in plain text in an HTML
  3288. buffer, and then invoke this command to convert it. Thanks
  3289. to Raman for this idea.
  3290. </li>
  3291. <li>
  3292. When inserting a link with `C-c C-l', completion will now
  3293. fill in all valid link prefixes, like http or ftp, but also
  3294. link abbreviation prefixes. This is based on an idea by
  3295. Bastien.
  3296. </li>
  3297. <li>
  3298. Highest, lowest, and default priority can be set on a
  3299. per-file basis with #+PRIORITIES: H L D
  3300. For example, to use priorities from 1 to 9, you could use
  3301. <p>
  3302. #+PRIORITIES: 1 9 9
  3303. </p>
  3304. <p>
  3305. Thanks to Dmitri Minaev for a patch to this effect.
  3306. </p>
  3307. </li>
  3308. <li>
  3309. iCalendar export now honors (i.e. skips) subtrees marked as
  3310. ARCHIVE, COMMENT, or QUOTE.
  3311. </li>
  3312. <li>
  3313. There is a new command to add or change the emphasis (like
  3314. bold or italic) of a piece of text. For lack of better
  3315. available keys the command is at `C-c C-x C-f', but you may
  3316. well want to choose a more convenient key like `C-c f' in
  3317. your private setup:
  3318. <p>
  3319. (add-hook 'org-load-hook
  3320. (lambda () (define-key org-mode-map "\C-cf" 'org-emphasize)))
  3321. </p>
  3322. <p>
  3323. The command will prompt for an emphasis type, and you may
  3324. reply either with the marker that triggers the emphasis, or
  3325. with the first letter of the corresponding HTML tag. For
  3326. example, to select italic, press either "/" or "i".
  3327. </p>
  3328. <p>
  3329. If there is an active region, the emphasis of this region
  3330. will be set or changed. If there is no region, only the
  3331. emphasis markers will be inserted and the cursor positioned
  3332. between them. Thanks to Bastien for proposing this feature.
  3333. </p>
  3334. </li>
  3335. <li>
  3336. Bug fixes, everything where I have replied "fixed" on the
  3337. mailing list. Thanks to all of you for keeping these reports

  3345. <h3>Overview</h3>
  3346. <p>
  3347. This release is about exporting agenda views, to HTML, to
  3348. postscript for printing, and to a special format (CSV) for
  3349. further processing in scripts.

  3362. <ul>
  3363. <li>
  3364. Agenda views can be exported as plain text, as HTML, and as
  3365. Postscript(R). This can simply be done from the agenda
  3366. buffer with `C-x C-w' and then specifying a filename like
  3367. `myagenda.html' or `myagenda.ps'. See section 8.6.4 of the
  3368. manual.
  3369. </li>
  3370. <li>
  3371. Each custom agenda view can specify a list of associated
  3372. files names. The command `C-c a e' then creates all views
  3373. that have associated file names and exports the views to
  3374. these files. This is great for producing paper versions of
  3375. your views, to take with you when you don't have your
  3376. computer. The manual has an example on how to do this, and
  3377. in particular on how to customize the format of the printed
  3378. version. See section 8.6.4 of the manual.
  3379. </li>
  3380. <li>
  3381. You can produce a CSV format of agenda information with an
  3382. Emacs batch command. This is greate for further processing
  3383. in scipts. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for this idea.
  3384. See section 8.6.5 of the manual.
  3385. </li>
  3386. <li>
  3387. New variable `org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done'. When set,
  3388. a deadline associated with a DONE item will not be shown in
  3389. the agenda. This is based upon a report by Denis Bueno.

  3436. The option `org-format-latex-options' has changed. If you

  3438. your customization.
  3439. </li>
  3440. <li>
  3441. `org-CUA-compatible' no longer modifies S-RET by default,

  3444. `org-disputed-keys'.

  3446. <li>
  3447. The variable `org-CUA-compatible' is obsolete, please use
  3448. `org-replace-disputed-keys' instead. `org-CUA-compatible'
  3449. is still an alias for this new variable, though.

  3454. <ul>
  3455. <li>
  3456. Better control over blank lines between trees in collapsed
  3457. view. This has come up several times in the past and most
  3458. recently by Scott Jaderholm. There is now a new variable
  3459. `org-cycle-separator-lines' with default value 2. It says
  3460. how many empty lines there need to be after the end of a
  3461. subtree to get an empty line in collapsed view. So with the
  3462. default, if you leave only one empty line it will disappear
  3463. in collapsed view. If you leave two, one empty line will
  3464. remain so that you can use double empty lines to structure
  3465. the collapsed views of a file. I love it, so many thanks to
  3466. Scott fro bringing this up again.
  3467. <p>
  3468. One property of the new setup is that you will never get
  3469. more than one blank line in collapsed view. We could do
  3470. something special to allow <b>several</b> empty lines in
  3471. collapsed view, but I think this is counter-productive.
  3472. </p>
  3473. <p>
  3474. In Emacs 22, if you want to make full use of this, make sure
  3475. that you have not set `outline-blank-line'.
  3476. </p>
  3477. </li>
  3478. <li>
  3479. When the clock is running, Org-mode will put info about it
  3480. into the modeline. The info consists of the elapsed time
  3481. and the heading of the clocked item. This was a proposal
  3482. from Bastien who got the idea from Muse.
  3483. </li>
  3484. <li>
  3485. C-a can behave specially in headlines when you set the
  3486. variable `org-special-ctrl-a'. It will bring the cursor
  3487. first back only to the beginning of the headline <b>text</b>,
  3488. i.e. after the stars and the TODO keyword, if any. A second
  3489. C-a will then move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
  3490. If the cursor is already at the beginning of the line, C-a
  3491. will spring <b>forward</b> to the headline text. This was a
  3492. proposal from Leo, based on a request from Scott Jaderholm.
  3493. <p>
  3494. I have not turned this turned this on by default, should I?
  3495. </p>
  3496. </li>
  3497. <li>
  3498. When LaTeX fragments are processed into images, there is now
  3499. more control and (hopefully) betters defaults for colors and
  3500. scaling. Special values can be set for HTML export, so that
  3501. these values can differ from what is used for display in an
  3502. emacs buffer. The default foreground and background colors
  3503. for images embedded in emacs are now taken from the default
  3504. emacs face. Thanks to Xiao-Yong Jin for proposing these
  3505. changes.
  3506. </li>
  3507. <li>
  3508. There is now a much better mechanism to change some keys in
  3509. org-mode if these keys clash with other modes you use. Turn
  3510. this on by setting `org-replace-disputed-keys' (aliased to
  3511. `org-CUA-compatible'). The list of keys to replace is now
  3512. fully customizable, see the option `org-disputed-keys'.
  3513. Many thanks to Meciej Katafiasz for a patch implementing
  3514. this.
  3515. </li>
  3516. <li>
  3517. Stuck project descriptions have been extended. You can now
  3518. use "*" as a TODO keyword or tag to say that <b>any</b> TODO
  3519. keyword or TAG marks a project as non-stuck. You also can
  3520. give an arbitrary regular expression that, if it matches,
  3521. indicates a non-stuck project.
  3522. </li>
  3523. <li>
  3524. The code for emphasis like bold, italic etc has been
  3525. modified - I might have broken something in the process,
  3526. please let me know if you find problems.

  3547. exported HTML. These are the variables
  3548. `org-export-table-header-tags' and
  3549. `org-export-table-data-tags'. This follows a request from

  3556. </li>
  3557. <li>
  3558. The prefix version of `org-todo-list' works again. This
  3559. means that `C-1 C-c a t' produces the list of TODO entries
  3560. for the first TODO keyword. If you use different TODO setups
  3561. in different agenda files, be careful: This number now
  3562. refers to the list of <b>all</b> todo keywords used in files
  3563. that are scanned for the agenda.

  3596. Further development concerning TODO keywords.
  3597. <ul>
  3598. <li>
  3599. You can now have several DONE states in a sequence, like
  3600. <p>
  3601. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE DELEGATED
  3602. </p>
  3603. <p>
  3604. The difference to the proposal discussed on the mailing
  3605. list (and which is also works!)
  3606. </p>
  3607. <p>
  3608. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE
  3609. #+SEQ_TODO: | CANCELED
  3610. </p>
  3611. <p>
  3612. is that in the first case, the extra DONE states will be
  3613. reached with `C-c C-t' (or with `t' from the agenda), while
  3614. in the second case you need S-&lt;right&gt; to get to the special
  3615. states. I guess both ideas can be useful - I am leaning
  3616. toward using the latter.
  3617. </p>
  3618. </li>
  3619. <li>
  3620. Setting up TODO keywords in Lisp previously used two
  3621. separate variables: `org-todo-keywords' and
  3622. `org-todo-interpretation'. The preferred way is now to use
  3623. only `org-todo-keywords', with a new structure:
  3624. <p>
  3625. (setq org-todo-keywords
  3626. '((sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE")
  3627. (sequence "BUG" "KNOWNCAUSE" "|" "FIXED" "IGNORED")
  3628. (type "Fred" "Lisa" "Peter" "|" "DONE")
  3629. (sequence "CANCELED") ; for things we decide to not do.
  3630. ))
  3631. </p>
  3632. <p>
  3633. If your setting has this new structure,
  3634. `org-todo-interpretation' will be ignored. This change
  3635. does not break backward compatibility. The old way of
  3636. using a flat list in `org-todo-keywords' and taking the
  3637. interpretation from the other variable still works.
  3638. </p>
  3639. </li>
  3640. <li>
  3641. When listing <b>specific</b> TODO entries via a sparse tree
  3642. (`C-u C-c C-v') or via the agenda (`C-c a T' or `C-u C-c a
  3643. t'), you can now specify several keywords to be selected,
  3644. like "TODO|VERIFY|WAITING". This also works for custom
  3645. agenda commands. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for pointing
  3646. out this omission.
  3647. </li>
  3648. </ul></li>
  3649. <li>
  3650. If you have configured Org-mode to export also the text
  3651. before the first headline (this is done by setting the
  3652. variable `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil),
  3653. then the first normal text line in the buffer becomes the
  3654. title of the exported document. A title set with #+TITLE
  3655. overules this default, and the first line then belongs to the
  3656. normal text. Thanks to David House for this proposal.
  3657. </li>
  3658. <li>
  3659. TTY replacement keys. Some of the key bindings used by
  3660. Org-mode do not work on a tty, so replacement key sequences
  3661. are provided on ttys. In version 4.70, there are some
  3662. changes in the tty replacements. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer
  3663. for coming up with the idea to use C-c &lt;cursor&gt; keys.

  3685. <h3>Overview</h3>
  3686. <p>
  3687. This time the changes affect the following areas:
  3688. </p>
  3689. <ul>
  3690. <li>
  3691. TODO keywords: Multiple sequences in a single file.
  3692. </li>
  3693. <li>
  3694. Export: More control over text before the first heading.
  3695. </li>
  3696. <li>
  3697. Export: More control over sub/superscript interpretation.
  3698. </li>
  3699. <li>
  3700. Plain lists: Option to let empty lines terminate lists.
  3701. </li>
  3702. <li>
  3703. Tables: New command to insert hline and move into line below.
  3704. </li>
  3705. <li>
  3706. REPEATing items: Turn of note taking.
  3707. </li>
  3708. <li>
  3709. Bug fixes.

  3711. </ul></div>
  3712. <div class="outline-3">
  3713. <h3>Incompatible changes</h3>
  3714. <ul>
  3715. <li>
  3716. It used to be possible to spread the list of TODO keywords
  3717. over several lines, like
  3718. <p>
  3719. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO
  3720. #+SEQ_TODO: PROGRESS
  3721. #+SEQ_TODO: DONE
  3722. </p>
  3723. <p>
  3724. This is no longer possible. Each such line now specifies an
  3725. independent set of TODO keywords, with its own DONE state.
  3726. See below for details.
  3727. </p>
  3728. </li>
  3729. <li>
  3730. The #+TEXT construct has been used to insert unchanged HTML
  3731. into an exported file. This is no longer possible, the TEXT
  3732. lines will be processed like any other lines. However,
  3733. there are now much better ways of getting quoted HTML into
  3734. the exported file.
  3735. </li>
  3736. </ul></div>
  3737. <div class="outline-3">
  3738. <h3>Details</h3>
  3739. <ul>
  3740. <li>
  3741. You can now use multiple sets of TODO keywords in the same
  3742. buffer. For example, you may put the following three lines
  3743. into a file:
  3744. <p>
  3745. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE
  3746. #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED
  3747. #+TYP_TODO: Fred Laura Peter Me OK
  3748. </p>
  3749. <p>
  3750. Each sub-sequence has its own DONE state. It is best to use
  3751. different keywords in all sequences, to make sure Org-mode
  3752. does not loose track in which specific sequence it is
  3753. working. You could use the same word for all DONE states,
  3754. but then cycling through to a TODO state might not bring you
  3755. where you want to be.
  3756. </p>
  3757. <p>
  3758. After initially setting a keyword, `C-c C-t' cycles through
  3759. a sublist, i.e. is cycles from TODO to DONE or from
  3760. KNOWNCAUSE to RESOLVED and further to (nothing) and back to
  3761. REPORT.
  3762. </p>
  3763. <p>
  3764. S-right and S-left allow to select any keyword, so they move
  3765. from DONE to REPORT and from RESOLVED to Fred.
  3766. </p>
  3767. <p>
  3768. C-S-right and C-S-left jump from one sub-sequence to the
  3769. next, for example from TODO or DONE to REPORT to Fred.
  3770. </p>
  3771. <p>
  3772. Thanks to Rick Moynihan for triggering this development.
  3773. </p>
  3774. </li>
  3775. <li>
  3776. Text before the first headline can now be exported if you
  3777. configure Org-mode accordingly. Either set the variable
  3778. `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil, or use the
  3779. new in-buffer option
  3780. <p>
  3781. #+OPTION: skip:nil
  3782. </p>
  3783. </li>
  3784. <li>
  3785. Export content specified via the #+TEXT construct is now
  3786. fully processed, i.e. links, emphasis etc. are all
  3787. interpreted. #+TEXT lines may include
  3788. #+BEGIN_HTML&hellip;#+END_HTML sections to embed literal HTML.
  3789. </li>
  3790. <li>
  3791. During HTML export, you can request to have a<sub>b</sub>
  3792. interpreted as a subscript, but to leave a_b as it is. This
  3793. can be done by setting the variable
  3794. org-export-sub-superscript to the symbol `{}' with
  3795. <p>
  3796. (setq org-export-sub-superscript '{})
  3797. </p>
  3798. <p>
  3799. or by using
  3800. </p>
  3801. <p>
  3802. #+OPTIONS: ^:{}
  3803. </p>
  3804. <p>
  3805. Thanks to Eddward DeVilla for this idea.
  3806. </p>
  3807. </li>
  3808. <li>
  3809. New variable `org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
  3810. Default is nil, meaning that empty lines are part of the
  3811. previous list item, and that you can have several paragraphs
  3812. in one such item. Set this to t if you want an empty line
  3813. terminate all levels of plain list items.
  3814. <p>
  3815. Thanks to Mike Newman for triggering this development.
  3816. </p>
  3817. </li>
  3818. <li>
  3819. C-c RET does insert a horizontal separator line and move the
  3820. cursor into the table line below it. Thanks to Bastien for
  3821. this proposal.
  3822. </li>
  3823. <li>
  3824. Org-mode always offers you to record a note when a TODO item
  3825. automatically repeats, even if you are not logging state
  3826. changes. The new variable `org-log-repeat' allows to turn
  3827. this off, so that notes are really only been taken if you
  3828. are logging all state changes.
  3829. </li>
  3830. <li>

  3870. <li>
  3871. Improvements to the date/time prompt.
  3872. <ul>
  3873. <li>
  3874. When you move (using S-cursor keys) the cursor in the pop-up
  3875. calendar window while responding to a date/time prompt, the
  3876. prompt is updated with the new default date (Emacs only).
  3877. </li>
  3878. <li>
  3879. You can now enter AM/PM times at this prompt.
  3880. </li>

  3882. <li>
  3883. Changes in the spreadsheet
  3884. <ul>
  3885. <li>
  3886. You can now also write B4 instead of @4$2 as a reference in
  3887. formulas. The column references without specified row can be
  3888. written as C&amp; instead of $3. Such references make formulas
  3889. easier to read and are now the default way how references are
  3890. shown when you edit existing formulas. To get the old behavior
  3891. back (i.e. only @row$col references), set the variable
  3892. `org-table-use-standard-references' to nil.
  3893. <p>
  3894. Relative references like @-3$-2 or @II..III continue to use the
  3895. internal format.
  3896. </p>

  3908. <li>
  3909. When starting the formula editor with "C-c '", the cursor
  3910. immediately moves to the formula for the current field.
  3911. </li>
  3912. <li>
  3913. With the cursor on a reference in the formula, you can use
  3914. S-cursor keys to change the field being referenced.

  3966. Thanks to "redblue" for reporting this bug.
  3967. </li>
  3968. <li>
  3969. When entering date and time at the prompt, you can now mix
  3970. entering text and selecting something in the calendar. For
  3971. example, enter 22:15 at the prompt without pressing RET, and then
  3972. click on a date in the calendar. Both pieces of information will
  3973. be included in the resulting time stamp. You can also use

  3989. <li>
  3990. iCalendar export of TODO items fixed, see also the variable
  3991. `org-icalendar-include-todo'. Thanks to Philipp Raschdorf.
  3992. </li>
  3993. <li>
  3994. The number of levels in the table of contents of an exported
  3995. document can now be set independently of the number of headline
  3996. levels. For example:
  3997. <p>
  3998. #+OPTIONS: H:4 toc:2
  3999. </p>
  4000. </li>
  4001. <li>
  4002. The command `C-c }' toggles the display of row and column numbers
  4003. the the current table, to aid constructing formulas. To try it,
  4004. move the cursor to a table and press `C-c }', or use the menu
  4005. entry.
  4006. </li>
  4007. <li>
  4008. Orgtbl translation functions (introduced in 4.65) have been
  4009. simplified using a generic function `orgtbl-to-generic' that can
  4010. be used for very general languanges. Writing your own translator
  4011. should be very easy now. More info in the manual.
  4012. </li>
  4013. <li>
  4014. CONTENTS visibility can be limited to a certain level. The

  4043. <ul>
  4044. <li>
  4045. You can use orgtbl mode to maintain a LaTeX table, or pretty much
  4046. any table in any mode.
  4047. <p>
  4048. This does <b>not</b> work by making Orgtbl aware of LaTeX syntax. That
  4049. would be a box of Pandora I am not willing to open. Instead, you
  4050. use a normal Orgtbl-mode table, and a converter program to
  4051. automatically place a LaTeX version of the table into the correct
  4052. spot in the LaTeX file. The orgtbl-mode table can be maintained
  4053. inside the same file, in a block comment.
  4054. </p>
  4055. <p>
  4056. I am providing translators for LaTeX, HTML, and TeXInfo. For
  4057. other applications, you need to write one yourself - but that is
  4058. not hard if you start from the LaTeX version and just modify it.
  4059. Thanks to Thomas Baumann for triggering this development through
  4060. a request for a table-to-LaTeX converter.
  4061. </p>
  4062. </li>
  4063. <li>
  4064. In the special buffer to edit the formulas of a table (created
  4065. with "C-c '"), there is now better support for editing Lisp
  4066. formulas. TAB and M-TAB work like in an Emacs Lisp buffer,
  4067. indenting lines and completing lisp symbols. With the cursor on
  4068. a line defining a complex Lisp formula, a first press on TAB will
  4069. convert the formula into a pretty-printed version with proper
  4070. linebreaks and indentation. A second TAB folds the line back to
  4071. the compact form.
  4072. </li>
  4073. <li>
  4074. Tables in HTML export have now additional structure elements
  4075. defined. The header (before the first hline) is wrapped into
  4076. &lt;thead&gt;..&lt;/thead&gt;, and each part of the body (as separated in
  4077. org-mode by hlines) is wrapped into &lt;tbody&gt;..&lt;/tbody&gt; tags. I
  4078. have also changed the CSS style for &lt;td&gt; fields and the value of
  4079. `org-export-html-table-tag' to get cleaner tables. Basically,
  4080. tables now have horizontal lines only where needed, and no
  4081. vertical lines at all, as generally recommended for tables in
  4082. printed text. I like the new look, but I am not sure if this
  4083. change will find general approval, please throw in your view if
  4084. you like. Thanks to Scott for driving this, and to goud-H for
  4085. pointing me to the row grouping in tables.
  4086. </li>
  4087. <li>
  4088. In a table with calculation markers in the first column, you can
  4089. now also put "/" into the first column. It indicates that this
  4090. line should not be exported. The foremost application for this
  4091. are lines containing only "&lt;N&gt;" markers for narrowing columns.

  4120. The descriptive part of links to email messages can be configured
  4121. using the variable `org-email-link-description-format'. The new
  4122. default is "Email %c: %.30s" and leads to
  4123. <p>
  4124. Email from NAME: SUBJECT

  4126. <p>
  4127. If you configure the variable `org-from-is-user-regexp'
  4128. correctly, then for email you <b>sent</b> this will actually change to
  4129. </p>
  4130. <p>
  4131. Email to NAME: SUBJECT
  4132. </p>
  4133. <p>
  4134. The subject is limited to 30 characters. If you have become
  4135. attached to the previous default (look twice, the new one is
  4136. better), use "%f on: %s" as your format.

  4140. Selecting text before entering a new link with C-c C-l now really

  4142. link. Requested by Scott, buggy 4.62 implementation is now fixed.
  4143. </li>
  4144. <li>
  4145. Stored links are part of the history list for C-c C-l, so to
  4146. reach them, you can use up/down rather than completion. Thanks
  4147. to Raman for this excellent idea.
  4148. </li>

  4158. remember. It will automatically detect if there is an active
  4159. region and use it as initial content (we will probably make
  4160. remember.el work like this as well).
  4161. Also, when calling `org-remember' in a remember buffer that
  4162. was created with a template, you will again be asked to
  4163. select a template. The buffer is then re-created with the
  4164. new template, but the old context information. This is
  4165. useful if you change your mind about the template to use
  4166. (Leo's idea).
  4167. </li>
  4168. <li>
  4169. Besides specifying a default <b>target</b> file for a note, you
  4170. can also give a default <b>heading</b> of which the note should
  4171. become a subitem. In many cases this avoids or speeds up
  4172. navigating to the right location. Both file and heading can
  4173. be different for each template. Both are non-binding, you
  4174. can change them while storing the note. However, when you
  4175. exit remember with C-u C-c C-c, these defaults will be used
  4176. without interaction.
  4177. </li>
  4178. <li>
  4179. Templates can specify interactive fields. During expansion
  4180. of the template, you will be prompted for the information in
  4181. that field. For example %^t will pop up a calendar and ask
  4182. you to select a date. This new feature follows a proposal
  4183. from Leo, who in the mean time has said he does not need it
  4184. anymore. But I liked it, so here it is :-)
  4185. </li>
  4186. <li>
  4187. Templates can access information specific to the link type
  4188. created, for example the author and subject of an email.
  4189. Syntax is %:fromname, %:fromaddress, %:subject etc, details
  4190. in the manual. Proposed by Peder O. Klingenberg.
  4191. </li>
  4192. <li>
  4193. I have been considering to move, at some stage, the template
  4194. functionality into remember.el itself - which would of course
  4195. require consent of the remember.el maintainers. I am not
  4196. sure how well this would work though, since some things like
  4197. the interactive time stamps are org.el specific, so treating
  4198. them would require special hooks. Comments?
