  7. * Version 8.3
  8. ** Incompatible changes
  9. *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
  10. ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
  11. version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
  12. Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
  13. ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
  14. *** Properties drawers syntax changes
  15. Properties drawers are now required to be located right after
  16. a headline and its planning line, when applicable.
  17. It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
  18. logged before the property drawer. The following function will repair
  19. them.
  20. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  21. (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
  22. "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
  23. Ignore non Org buffers."
  24. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  25. (org-with-wide-buffer
  26. (goto-char (point-min))
  27. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  28. (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
  29. (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
  30. "END[ \t]*$"))))

  49. #+END_SRC
  50. *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
  51. Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
  52. buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
  53. *** Signature changes
  54. The following functions require an additional argument. See their
  55. docstring for more information.
  56. - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
  57. - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
  58. - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
  59. - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
  60. *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
  61. The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
  62. ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-next-visible-heading~
  63. respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
  64. functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
  65. (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
  66. ** Removed functions
  67. *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
  68. Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
  69. *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
  70. This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
  71. current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
  72. it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
  73. accessible from the export dispatcher.
  74. *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
  75. ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
  76. ** Removed options
  77. *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
  78. It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
  79. compatibility.
  80. If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
  81. two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
  82. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
  83. This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
  84. at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
  85. value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
  86. To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
  87. this variable locally.
  88. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
  89. This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
  90. styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
  91. be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
  92. compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
  93. anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
  94. *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
  95. Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
  96. would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
  97. removed.
  98. ** New features
  99. *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  100. The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
  101. instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
  102. *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  103. Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
  104. possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
  105. more information.
  106. *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
  107. If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
  108. argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
  109. representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
  110. default is =hline=.
  111. *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
  112. One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
  113. which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
  114. ~org-drawers~ variable.
  115. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
  116. Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
  117. mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
  118. "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
  119. configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
  120. *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
  121. For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
  122. in a source block.
  123. *** New option in ASCII export
  124. Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
  125. ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
  126. *** New blocks in ASCII export
  127. ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
  128. =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
  129. *** More back-end specific publishing options
  130. The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
  131. increased. See manual for details.
  132. *** Export inline source blocks
  133. Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
  134. now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
  135. in the output, depending on the parameters.
  136. *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
  137. These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
  138. *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
  139. *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
  140. This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
  141. more features. See docstring for details.
  142. *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
  143. Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
  144. document, befor wrapping it within the template.
  145. *** Improve radio tables
  146. Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
  147. ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
  148. parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
  149. new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
  150. ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
  151. docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
  152. *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
  153. It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
  154. source blocks exported by the minted package.
  155. *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
  156. Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
  157. would throw an error. A new variable
  158. ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
  159. behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
  160. with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
  161. *** ASCII plot
  162. Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
  163. for details.
  164. *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
  165. This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
  166. on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
  167. *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
  168. When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
  169. *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
  170. This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
  171. now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
  172. special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
  173. *** Export unnumbered headlines
  174. Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
  175. exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
  176. property is inherited by children.
  177. *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
  178. It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
  179. through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
  180. keys, to sort a table.
  181. *** Table of contents can be local to a section
  182. The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See
  183. manual for details.
  184. *** Countdown timers can now be paused.
  185. ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
  186. countdown timers.
  187. *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
  188. When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
  189. displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
  190. ** Miscellaneous
  191. *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
  192. ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
  193. *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
  194. Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
  195. =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
  196. *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
  197. As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
  198. footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
  199. labels colliding.
  200. *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
  201. This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
  202. =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
  203. *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
  204. =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
  205. *** Select tests to perform with the build system
  206. The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
  207. regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
  208. This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
  209. particular test failure was introduced.
  210. * Version 8.2
  211. ** Incompatible changes
  212. *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
  213. This may require two changes in user config.
  214. 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
  215. 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
  216. to remove "sh" and include "shell".
  217. *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
  218. Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
  219. 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
  220. need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
  221. Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
  222. =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
  223. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
  224. with this:
  225. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  226. *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
  227. Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
  228. t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
  229. option keywords like :html-include-style.
  230. So you need to replace
  231. : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
  232. by
  233. : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
  234. Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
  235. and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
  236. *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
  237. ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
  238. process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
  239. relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
  240. Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
  241. the other optional arguments accordingly.
  242. *** Export back-ends are now structures
  243. Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
  244. communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
  245. now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
  246. of a symbol.
  247. Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
  248. ** Important bugfixes
  249. *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
  250. *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
  251. *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
  252. You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
  253. this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
  254. separator starting a TOTO match string.
  255. ** New features
  256. *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
  257. See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
  258. of the list.
  259. *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
  260. - Support SVG images
  261. - Support for .pgf files
  262. - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
  263. - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
  264. - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
  265. replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
  266. or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
  267. - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
  268. now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
  269. *** New functions for paragraph motion
  270. The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
  271. that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
  272. in a paragraph-like way.
  273. *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  274. Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
  275. dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
  276. leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
  277. preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
  278. check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
  279. *** Anonymous export back-ends
  280. ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
  281. which can then be passed to export functions like
  282. ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
  283. It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
  284. registering a new back-end.
  285. *** New agenda fortnight view
  286. The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
  287. views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
  288. ** New options
  289. *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
  290. This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
  291. *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
  292. This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
  293. See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
  294. *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
  295. This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
  296. the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
  297. Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
  298. allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
  299. library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
  300. so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
  301. t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
  302. of =ox-rss.el=.
  303. *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
  304. This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
  305. *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
  306. This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
  307. *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
  308. See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
  309. *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
  310. If you set this to the following
  311. : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
  312. then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
  313. *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
  314. This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
  315. =C-o= in tables.
  316. ** New contributed packages
  317. - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
  318. export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
  319. software.
  320. - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
  321. screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
  322. ** Miscellaneous
  323. *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
  324. "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
  325. starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
  326. a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
  327. the same with example blocks.
  328. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
  329. release.
  330. * Version 8.0.1
  331. ** Installation
  332. Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
  333. If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
  334. instructions:
  335. - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
  336. =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
  337. customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
  338. - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
  339. correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
  340. only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
  341. the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
  342. detailed explanations.
  343. - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
  344. you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
  345. function has been called already.
  346. When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
  347. installation.
  348. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
  349. ** Incompatible changes
  350. Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
  351. If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
  352. If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
  353. you will have to update them.
  354. Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
  355. See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
  356. this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
  357. **** New export engine
  358. Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
  359. export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
  360. already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
  361. /all/ export back-ends.
  362. The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
  363. keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
  364. built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
  365. directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
  366. [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
  367. More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
  368. corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
  369. If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
  370. rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
  371. option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
  372. manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
  373. **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
  374. : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
  375. should now be written
  376. : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
  377. Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
  378. respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
  379. each backend. See Org's manual for details.
  380. **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
  381. You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
  382. Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
  383. now fully removed.
  384. Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
  385. remember templates into capture templates.
  386. **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
  387. If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
  388. will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
  389. **** Note for third-party developers
  390. The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
  391. prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
  392. files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
  393. If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
  394. code.
  395. **** Packages moved from core to contrib
  396. Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
  397. to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
  398. moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
  399. The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
  400. is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
  401. included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
  402. user-base.
  403. - org-colview-xemacs.el
  404. - org-mac-message.el
  405. - org-mew.el
  406. - org-wl.el
  407. - ox-freedmind.el
  408. - ox-taskjuggler.el
  409. Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
  410. ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
  411. ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
  412. Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
  413. wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
  414. ** New packages in core
  415. *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
  416. =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
  417. *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
  418. =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
  419. *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
  420. =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
  421. vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
  422. *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
  423. =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
  424. ** New packages in contrib
  425. *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
  426. [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
  427. =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
  428. code.
  429. *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
  430. [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
  431. software, written entirely in the C programming language.
  432. ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
  433. entries.
  434. *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
  435. ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
  436. *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
  437. Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
  438. Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
  439. for starting headlines.
  440. *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
  441. ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
  442. locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
  443. the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
  444. [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
  445. *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
  446. ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
  447. *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
  448. [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
  449. presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  450. using =deck.js=.
  451. [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
  452. presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  453. using =s5=.
  454. *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
  455. The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
  456. plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
  457. output.
  458. Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
  459. conversion from Org files to groff.
  460. *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
  461. This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
  462. *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
  463. This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
  464. with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
  465. entirely with Org.
  466. ** New features
  467. *** Export
  468. **** New export generic options
  469. If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
  470. it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
  471. Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
  472. - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
  473. =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
  474. You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
  475. file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
  476. - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
  477. =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
  478. now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
  479. [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
  480. new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
  481. set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
  482. standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
  483. contains time-stamps.
  484. To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
  485. Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
  486. the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
  487. **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
  488. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
  489. **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
  490. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
  491. **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
  492. **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
  493. **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
  494. *** Structure editing
  495. **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
  496. **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
  497. [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
  498. prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
  499. **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
  500. This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
  501. would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
  502. create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
  503. an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
  504. region.
  505. **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
  506. In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
  507. _words__= will preserve markup.
  508. **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
  509. This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
  510. is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
  511. can slow down the flow of editing too much.
  512. **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
  513. These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
  514. speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
  515. **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
  516. These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
  517. now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
  518. =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
  519. forward and backward.
  520. **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
  521. **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
  522. Now Org will sort this list
  523. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  524. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  525. like this:
  526. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  527. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  528. by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
  529. Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
  530. **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
  531. For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
  532. =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
  533. states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
  534. In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
  535. local variable.
  536. **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
  537. The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
  538. When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
  539. time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
  540. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
  541. This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
  542. restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
  543. The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
  544. restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
  545. option to =nil=.
  546. **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
  547. When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
  548. removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
  549. information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
  550. If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
  551. TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
  552. **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
  553. This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
  554. The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
  555. fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
  556. : #+attr_html: :width 300px
  557. *** Scheduled/deadline
  558. **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
  559. If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
  560. now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
  561. task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
  562. from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
  563. Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
  564. you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
  565. display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
  566. to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
  567. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
  568. occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
  569. occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
  570. and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
  571. control this globally or per agenda.
  572. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
  573. See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
  574. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
  575. =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
  576. *** Calendar, diary and appts
  577. **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
  578. By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
  579. normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
  580. the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
  581. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  582. ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
  583. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
  584. ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
  585. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
  586. (kbd "@")
  587. (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
  588. #+END_SRC
  589. **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
  590. This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
  591. appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
  592. call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
  593. **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
  594. [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
  595. in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
  596. only show their description, not the full links.
  597. *** Agenda
  598. **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
  599. When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
  600. list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
  601. want to build a list of appointments.
  602. You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
  603. each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
  604. Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
  605. : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
  606. This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
  607. time value (i.e. appointments).
  608. **** New agenda sorting strategies
  609. [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
  610. | Strategy | Explanations |
  611. |----------------+------------------------------------------|
  612. | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
  613. | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
  614. | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
  615. | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
  616. | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
  617. | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
  618. | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
  619. | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
  620. | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
  621. | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
  622. **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
  623. You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
  624. different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
  625. while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
  626. These new options are available:
  627. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
  628. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
  629. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
  630. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
  631. For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
  632. view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
  633. without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
  634. When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
  635. to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
  636. no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
  637. to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
  638. show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
  639. non-tagged headlines.
  640. **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
  641. You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
  642. regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
  643. example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
  644. that take only =N= minutes.
  645. **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
  646. You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
  647. == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
  648. [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
  649. **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
  650. Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
  651. filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
  652. **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
  653. You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
  654. headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
  655. This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
  656. list of notes.
  657. **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
  658. It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
  659. your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
  660. =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
  661. This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
  662. change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
  663. **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
  664. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
  665. to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
  666. This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
  667. **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
  668. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
  669. display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
  670. outline tree.
  671. **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
  672. =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
  673. overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
  674. asks for a confirmation.
  675. **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
  676. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
  677. the mark of the entry at point.
  678. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
  679. toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
  680. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
  681. This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
  682. E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
  683. level 1.
  684. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
  685. This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
  686. options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
  687. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
  688. This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
  689. entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
  690. **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
  691. The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
  692. it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
  693. [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
  694. string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
  695. **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  696. When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
  697. =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
  698. repeated beyond the current deadline.
  699. **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
  700. This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
  701. which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
  702. prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
  703. deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
  704. Read the full docstring for details.
  705. **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
  706. For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
  707. : * Task
  708. : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
  709. *** Capture
  710. **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
  711. With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
  712. point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
  713. capture template.
  714. **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
  715. If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
  716. expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
  717. **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
  718. [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  719. allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
  720. be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
  721. check against the name of the buffer.
  722. *** Tag groups
  723. Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
  724. (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
  725. headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
  726. of those tags.)
  727. You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
  728. agenda views, and for filtering.
  729. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
  730. *** Links
  731. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
  732. Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
  733. other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
  734. through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
  735. Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
  736. as if the protocol was not known.
  737. You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
  738. **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
  739. Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
  740. Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
  741. RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
  742. active.
  743. **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
  744. =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
  745. description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
  746. with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
  747. **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
  748. When storing a link to a headline like
  749. : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
  750. [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
  751. It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
  752. there is no description.
  753. *** Table
  754. **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
  755. If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
  756. apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
  757. those other formulas.
  758. **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
  759. If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
  760. [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
  761. mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
  762. the end.
  763. **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
  764. If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
  765. english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
  766. internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
  767. doing computation.
  768. **** New lookup functions
  769. There are now three lookup functions:
  770. - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
  771. - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
  772. - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
  773. See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
  774. *** Startup keywords
  775. These new startup keywords are now available:
  776. | Startup keyword | Option |
  777. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  778. | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
  779. | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
  780. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  781. | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
  782. | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
  783. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  784. | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
  785. | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
  786. *** Clocking
  787. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
  788. E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
  789. clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
  790. 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
  791. your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
  792. **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
  793. When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
  794. day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
  795. for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
  796. the clocktable.
  797. See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
  798. [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
  799. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
  800. This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
  801. milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
  802. **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
  803. When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
  804. option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
  805. [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
  806. **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
  807. **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
  808. **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
  809. **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
  810. **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
  811. **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
  812. **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
  813. *** Babel
  814. **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
  815. This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
  816. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
  817. This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
  818. same target than the block at point.
  819. **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
  820. When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
  821. in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
  822. file under the same directory than the base Org file.
  823. When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
  824. the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
  825. time.
  826. **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
  827. This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
  828. code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
  829. manual for a usage example.
  830. **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
  831. If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
  832. the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
  833. collecting blocks for tangling.
  834. **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
  835. **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
  836. Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
  837. cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
  838. **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
  839. **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
  840. When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
  841. instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
  842. *** Faces
  843. - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
  844. - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
  845. - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
  846. - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags
  847. ** Miscellaneous
  848. - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
  849. - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
  850. - [[doc:org-export-html-table-tag][org-export-html-table-tag]] is replaced by [[doc:org-html-table-default-attributes][org-html-table-default-attributes]]
  851. - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
  852. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  853. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  854. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  855. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]

  867. ** Outside Org
  868. *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
  869. David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
  870. You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
  871. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  872. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  873. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  874. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  875. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  876. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  877. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  878. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  879. found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  880. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:

  883. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  884. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  885. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  886. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  887. * Version 7.9.3
  888. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  889. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  890. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  891. agenda views.)
  892. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  893. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  894. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  895. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  896. agenda type to this variable.
  897. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  898. generation.
  899. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  900. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  901. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  902. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  903. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  904. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  905. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  906. invisible) blocked tasks.
  907. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  908. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  909. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  910. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  911. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  912. ** No GPL manual anymore
  913. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  914. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  915. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  916. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  917. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  918. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  919. in most environments.
  920. * Version 7.9.2
  921. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  922. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  923. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  924. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  925. #+END_SRC
  926. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  927. available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  928. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  929. directory.)
  930. See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
  931. ** Overview of the new keybindings
  932. | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |

  947. ** New package and Babel language
  948. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  949. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  950. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  951. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  952. ** Incompatible changes
  953. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  954. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  955. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  956. instead.
  957. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  958. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  959. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  960. ** New features and user-visible changes
  961. *** Org Element
  962. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  963. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  964. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  965. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  966. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  967. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  968. See the docstrings for more details.
  969. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  970. on =org-element.el=.
  971. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  972. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  973. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  974. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  975. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  976. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  977. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  978. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  979. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  980. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  981. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  982. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  983. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  984. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  985. elements.
  986. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  987. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  988. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  989. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  990. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  991. item. Etc.
  992. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  993. the whole list.
  994. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  995. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  996. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  997. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  998. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  999. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  1000. the same level.
  1001. *** Org Agenda
  1002. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  1003. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  1004. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  1005. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  1006. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  1007. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  1008. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  1009. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  1010. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  1011. generating new ones.
  1012. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  1013. agenda buffer.
  1014. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  1015. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1016. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  1017. to this value
  1018. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1019. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  1020. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  1021. #+END_SRC
  1022. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  1023. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  1024. details on how to use this.
  1025. **** Changes in bulk actions
  1026. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  1027. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  1028. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  1029. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  1030. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  1031. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  1032. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  1033. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  1034. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  1035. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  1036. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  1037. =t=.
  1038. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  1039. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  1040. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  1041. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  1042. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  1043. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  1044. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  1045. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  1046. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  1047. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  1048. =f= or =w=).
  1049. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  1050. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  1051. of deadline.
  1052. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  1053. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  1054. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  1055. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  1056. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  1057. several times.
  1058. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  1059. See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  1060. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  1061. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  1062. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  1063. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  1064. filters and category filters.
  1065. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  1066. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  1067. configuration.
  1068. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  1069. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  1070. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  1071. point.
  1072. *** Org Links
  1073. **** Inserting links
  1074. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  1075. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  1076. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  1077. want to insert.
  1078. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  1079. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  1080. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  1081. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  1082. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  1083. highlighted.
  1084. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  1085. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  1086. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  1087. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  1088. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  1089. **** New link type =help=
  1090. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  1091. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  1092. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  1093. you go back to the same buffer.
  1094. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  1095. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  1096. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  1097. =org-stored-links=.
  1098. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  1099. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  1100. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  1101. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  1102. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  1103. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  1104. *** Org Editing
  1105. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  1106. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  1107. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  1108. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  1109. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  1110. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  1111. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  1112. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  1113. all headlines in the region.
  1114. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  1115. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  1116. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  1117. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  1118. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  1119. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  1120. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  1121. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  1122. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  1123. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  1124. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  1125. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  1126. undo RET=.
  1127. *** Org Clock
  1128. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  1129. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  1130. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  1131. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  1132. clocked entry, if any.
  1133. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  1134. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  1135. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  1136. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  1137. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  1138. out.
  1139. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  1140. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  1141. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  1142. arguments).
  1143. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  1144. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  1145. in.
  1146. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  1147. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  1148. cells in clockreport.
  1149. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  1150. time cells in clockreport.
  1151. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  1152. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  1153. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1154. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  1155. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1156. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  1157. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  1158. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  1159. space in the frame title.
  1160. *** Org Appearance
  1161. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  1162. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  1163. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  1164. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  1165. don't want to see temporarily.
  1166. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  1167. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  1168. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  1169. There are these new entities:
  1170. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  1171. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  1172. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  1173. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  1174. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  1175. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  1176. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  1177. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  1178. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  1179. The face is back to a normal height.
  1180. *** Org Columns
  1181. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  1182. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  1183. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  1184. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  1185. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  1186. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  1187. block will use its value as the column format.
  1188. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  1189. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  1190. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  1191. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  1192. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  1193. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  1194. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  1195. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  1196. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  1197. You can now use
  1198. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  1199. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  1200. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  1201. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  1202. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  1203. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  1204. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  1205. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  1206. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  1207. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  1208. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  1209. *** Org Capture
  1210. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  1211. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  1212. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  1213. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  1214. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  1215. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  1216. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1217. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  1218. set to this value
  1219. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1220. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  1221. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  1222. #+END_SRC
  1223. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  1224. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  1225. more details on how to use this.
  1226. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  1227. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  1228. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  1229. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  1230. =nil=.
  1231. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  1232. See the manual for more explanations.
  1233. **** More control over empty lines
  1234. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  1235. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  1236. explanations.
  1237. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  1238. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  1239. *** Org Export
  1240. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  1241. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  1242. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  1243. available) to print beautiful tables.
  1244. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  1245. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  1246. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  1247. the table.
  1248. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  1249. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  1250. in the #+DATE option.
  1251. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  1252. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  1253. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  1254. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  1255. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  1256. More languages are always welcome.
  1257. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  1258. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  1259. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  1260. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  1261. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  1262. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  1263. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  1264. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  1265. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  1266. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  1267. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  1268. *** Org Babel
  1269. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  1270. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  1271. supported.
  1272. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  1273. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  1274. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  1275. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  1276. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  1277. It used to exports the results of the code.
  1278. *** Miscellaneous
  1279. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  1280. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  1281. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  1282. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  1283. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  1284. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  1285. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  1286. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  1287. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  1288. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  1289. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  1290. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  1291. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  1292. alarm.
  1293. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  1294. This will increment the effort value.
  1295. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  1296. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  1297. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  1298. attach symbolic links.
  1299. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  1300. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  1301. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  1302. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  1303. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  1304. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  1305. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  1306. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  1307. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  1308. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  1309. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  1310. all top level list items.
  1311. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  1312. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  1313. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  1314. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  1315. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  1316. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  1317. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  1318. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  1319. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  1320. first headline in the region.
  1321. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  1322. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  1323. agenda.
  1324. ** Important bug fixes
  1325. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  1326. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  1327. perform completion with meaningful values.
  1328. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  1329. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  1330. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  1331. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  1332. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  1333. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  1334. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  1335. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  1336. license.
  1337. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  1338. the code and the license to your needs.
  1339. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  1340. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  1341. * Version 7.8.11
  1342. ** Incompatible changes
  1343. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  1344. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  1345. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  1346. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  1347. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  1348. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  1349. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  1350. last-minute save.
  1351. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  1352. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  1353. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  1354. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  1355. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  1356. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  1357. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  1358. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  1359. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  1360. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  1361. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  1362. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  1363. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  1364. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  1365. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  1366. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  1367. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  1368. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  1369. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  1370. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  1371. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  1372. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  1373. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  1374. #+end_src
  1375. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  1376. setup./
  1377. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  1378. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  1379. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  1380. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  1381. The two new variables are:
  1382. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  1383. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  1384. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  1385. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  1386. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  1387. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  1388. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  1389. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  1390. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  1391. classes.
  1392. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  1393. document are:
  1394. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  1395. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  1396. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  1397. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  1398. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  1399. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  1400. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  1401. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  1402. #+begin_example
  1403. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  1404. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  1405. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  1406. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  1407. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  1408. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  1409. #+end_example
  1410. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  1411. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  1412. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  1413. applies to the following packages:
  1414. - inputenc
  1415. - fontenc
  1416. - fixltx2e
  1417. - graphicx
  1418. - longtable
  1419. - float
  1420. - wrapfig
  1421. - soul
  1422. - t1enc
  1423. - textcomp
  1424. - marvosym
  1425. - wasysym
  1426. - latexsym
  1427. - amssymb
  1428. - hyperref
  1429. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  1430. you are using, you can remove it from
  1431. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  1432. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  1433. properly.
  1434. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  1435. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  1436. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  1437. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  1438. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  1439. the header.
  1440. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  1441. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  1442. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  1443. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  1444. code using it.
  1445. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  1446. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  1447. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  1448. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  1449. ** Important new features
  1450. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  1451. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  1452. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  1453. for more information on how to customize it.
  1454. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  1455. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  1456. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  1457. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  1458. section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  1459. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  1460. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  1461. [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  1462. To switch over to the new system:
  1463. 1. Run
  1464. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  1465. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  1466. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  1467. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  1468. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  1469. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  1470. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  1471. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  1472. customization.
  1473. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  1474. with org-remember:
  1475. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  1476. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  1477. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  1478. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  1479. with using both system in parallel.
  1480. ** New libraries
  1481. *** New Org libraries
  1482. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  1483. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  1484. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  1485. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  1486. To use, put the following in your init file:
  1487. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1488. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  1489. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1490. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  1491. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  1492. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  1493. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  1494. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  1495. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  1496. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  1497. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  1498. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  1499. anything.
  1500. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  1501. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  1502. He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  1503. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  1504. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  1505. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  1506. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  1507. /org-ctags.el/.
  1508. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  1509. call function to do something special with text links.
  1510. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  1511. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  1512. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  1513. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  1514. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  1515. Org-mode manual:
  1516. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  1517. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  1518. *** New Babel libraries
  1519. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  1520. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  1521. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  1522. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  1523. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  1524. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  1525. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  1526. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  1527. *** Hyperlinks
  1528. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  1529. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  1530. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  1531. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  1532. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  1533. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  1534. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  1535. The key new functions are
  1536. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  1537. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  1538. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  1539. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  1540. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  1541. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  1542. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  1543. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  1544. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  1545. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  1546. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  1547. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  1548. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  1549. **** Modified link escaping
  1550. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  1551. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  1552. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  1553. : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
  1554. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  1555. : link).
  1556. :
  1557. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  1558. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  1559. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  1560. : percent escaped links are solved.
  1561. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  1562. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  1563. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  1564. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  1565. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  1566. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  1567. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  1568. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  1569. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  1570. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  1571. string to be executed.
  1572. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  1573. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  1574. to org-file-apps:
  1575. #+begin_example
  1576. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  1577. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  1578. #+end_example
  1579. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  1580. *** Dates and time
  1581. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  1582. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  1583. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  1584. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  1585. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  1586. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  1587. will work on the current entry.
  1588. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  1589. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  1590. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  1591. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  1592. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  1593. #+begin_example
  1594. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  1595. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  1596. #+end_example
  1597. *** Agenda
  1598. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  1599. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  1600. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  1601. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  1602. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  1603. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  1604. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  1605. entries using a function.
  1606. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  1607. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  1608. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  1609. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  1610. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  1611. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  1612. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  1613. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  1614. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  1615. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  1616. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  1617. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  1618. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  1619. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  1620. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  1621. *** Exporting
  1622. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  1623. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  1624. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  1625. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  1626. docstring of these variable for details about available
  1627. %-sequences.
  1628. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  1629. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  1630. formatting string will insert a string.
  1631. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  1632. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  1633. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  1634. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  1635. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  1636. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  1637. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  1638. C-e u=, respectively.
  1639. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  1640. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  1641. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  1642. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  1643. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  1644. your preference.
  1645. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  1646. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  1647. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  1648. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  1649. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  1650. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  1651. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  1652. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  1653. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  1654. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  1655. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  1656. section]] in the manual for more details.
  1657. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  1658. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  1659. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  1660. individual could.
  1661. *** Refiling
  1662. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  1663. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  1664. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  1665. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  1666. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  1667. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  1668. **** New logging support for refiling
  1669. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  1670. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  1671. =org-log-refile=.
  1672. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  1673. *** Completion
  1674. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  1675. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  1676. *** Tables
  1677. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  1678. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  1679. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  1680. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  1681. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  1682. the displayed in the buffer.
  1683. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  1684. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  1685. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  1686. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  1687. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  1688. |--------+--------+---------|
  1689. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  1690. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  1691. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  1692. optional.
  1693. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  1694. feedback on this.
  1695. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  1696. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  1697. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  1698. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  1699. : things like
  1700. :
  1701. : @3=
  1702. : @2$2..@5$7=
  1703. : @I$2..@II$4=
  1704. :
  1705. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  1706. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  1707. : table.
  1708. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  1709. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  1710. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  1711. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  1712. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  1713. *** Lists
  1714. **** Improved handling of lists
  1715. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  1716. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  1717. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  1718. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  1719. indented than it.
  1720. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  1721. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  1722. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  1723. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  1724. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  1725. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  1726. `org-list-export-context'.
  1727. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  1728. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  1729. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  1730. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  1731. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  1732. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  1733. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  1734. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  1735. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  1736. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  1737. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  1738. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  1739. *** Inline display of linked images
  1740. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  1741. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  1742. that have no description part will be inlined.
  1743. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  1744. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  1745. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  1746. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  1747. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  1748. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  1749. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  1750. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  1751. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  1752. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  1753. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  1754. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  1755. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  1756. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  1757. tangling
  1758. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  1759. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  1760. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  1761. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  1762. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  1763. properties or in tables.
  1764. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  1765. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  1766. names, and rownames across all languages.
  1767. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  1768. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  1769. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  1770. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  1771. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  1772. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  1773. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  1774. request by Scott Otterson.
  1775. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  1776. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  1777. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  1778. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  1779. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  1780. superscripts, see the variable
  1781. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  1782. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  1783. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  1784. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  1785. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  1786. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  1787. following new faces:
  1788. =org-document-title=
  1789. =org-document-info=
  1790. =org-document-info-keyword=
  1791. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  1792. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  1793. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  1794. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  1795. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  1796. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  1797. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  1798. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  1799. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  1800. property is affected by this setting.
  1801. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  1802. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  1803. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  1804. Requested by Michael Brand.
  1805. **** Better level cycling function
  1806. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  1807. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  1808. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  1809. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  1810. **** Adaptive filling
  1811. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  1812. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  1813. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  1814. comments to be filled correctly.
  1815. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  1816. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  1817. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  1818. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  1819. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  1820. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  1821. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  1822. *** Clocking
  1823. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  1824. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  1825. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  1826. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  1827. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  1828. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  1829. **** Localized clock tables
  1830. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  1831. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  1832. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  1833. available translated strings.
  1834. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  1835. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  1836. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  1837. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  1838. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  1839. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  1840. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  1841. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  1842. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  1843. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  1844. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  1845. =nil=.
  1846. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  1847. *** Misc
  1848. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  1849. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  1850. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  1851. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  1852. **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  1853. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  1854. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  1855. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  1856. property) back.
  1857. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  1858. change.
  1859. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  1860. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  1861. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  1862. #+begin_example
  1863. org-table-get
  1864. org-table-put
  1865. org-table-current-line
  1866. org-table-goto-line
  1867. #+end_example
  1868. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  1869. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  1870. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  1871. node.
  1872. This was requested by Tom.
  1873. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  1874. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  1875. example by viewing from the agenda.
  1876. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
