  8. * Version 9.5 (not yet released)
  9. ** New options and settings
  10. *** Option ~org-hidden-keywords~ now also applies to #+SUBTITLE:
  11. The option ~org-hidden-keywords~ previously applied
  12. to #+TITLE:, #+AUTHOR:, #+DATE:, and #+EMAIL:. Now it can also be
  13. used to hide the #+SUBTITLE: keyword.
  14. *** New formatting directive ~%L~ for org-capture
  15. The new ~%L~ formatting directive contains the bare link target, and
  16. may be used to create links with programmatically generated
  17. descriptions.
  18. *** New option ~org-id-ts-format~
  19. Earlier, IDs generated using =ts= method had a hard-coded format (i.e. =20200923T160237.891616=).
  20. The new option allows user to customise the format.
  21. Defaults are unchanged.
  22. *** New argument for ~file-desc~ babel header
  23. It is now possible to provide the =file-desc= header argument for a
  24. babel source block but omit the description by passing an empty vector
  25. as an argument (i.e., :file-desc []). This can be useful because
  26. providing =file-desc= without an argument results in the result of
  27. =file= being used in the description. Previously, the only way to
  28. omit a file description was to omit the header argument entirely,
  29. which made it difficult/impossible to provide a default value for
  30. =file-desc=.
  31. *** New option to set ~org-link-file-path-type~ to a function
  32. ~org-link-file-path-type~ can now be set to a function that takes the
  33. full filename as an argument and returns the path to link to.
  34. For example, if you use ~project.el~, you can set this function to use
  35. relative links within a project as follows:
  36. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  37. (setq (org-link-file-path-type
  38. (lambda (path)

  45. ** New features
  46. *** =ob-python= improvements to =:return= header argument
  47. The =:return= header argument in =ob-python= now works for session
  48. blocks as well as non-session blocks. Also, it now works with the
  49. =:epilogue= header argument -- previously, setting the =:return=
  50. header would cause the =:epilogue= to be ignored.
  51. This change allows more easily moving boilerplate out of the main code
  52. block and into the header. For example, for plotting, we need to add
  53. boilerplate to save the figure to a file and return the
  54. filename. Instead of doing this within the code block, we can now
  55. handle it through the header arguments as follows:
  56. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  57. ,#+header: :var fname="/home/jack/tmp/plot.svg"
  58. ,#+header: :epilogue plt.savefig(fname)
  59. ,#+header: :return fname
  60. ,#+begin_src python :results value file
  61. import matplotlib, numpy
  62. import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  63. fig=plt.figure(figsize=(4,2))
  64. x=numpy.linspace(-15,15)
  65. plt.plot(numpy.sin(x)/x)
  66. fig.tight_layout()
  67. ,#+end_src
  68. ,#+RESULTS:
  69. [[file:/home/jack/tmp/plot.svg]]
  70. #+END_SRC
  71. As another example, we can use =:return= with the external [[https://pypi.org/project/tabulate/][tabulate]]
  72. package, to convert pandas Dataframes into orgmode tables:
  73. #+begin_src org
  74. ,#+header: :prologue from tabulate import tabulate
  75. ,#+header: :return tabulate(table, headers=table.columns, tablefmt="orgtbl")
  76. ,#+begin_src python :results value raw :session
  77. import pandas as pd
  78. table = pd.DataFrame({
  79. "a": [1,2,3],
  80. "b": [4,5,6]
  81. })
  82. ,#+end_src
  83. ,#+RESULTS:
  84. | | a | b |
  85. |---+---+---|
  86. | 0 | 1 | 4 |
  87. | 1 | 2 | 5 |
  88. | 2 | 3 | 6 |
  89. #+end_src
  90. ** Miscellaneous
  91. *** =org-goto-first-child= now works before first heading
  92. When point is before first heading =org-goto-first-child= will move
  93. point to the first child heading, or return nil if no heading exist
  94. in buffer. This is in line with the fact that everything before first
  95. heading is regarded as outline level 0, i.e. the parent level of all
  96. headings in the buffer.
  97. Previously =org-goto-first-child= would do nothing before first
  98. heading, except return nil.
  99. * Version 9.4
  100. ** Incompatible changes
  101. *** Possibly broken internal file links: please check and fix
  102. A bug has been affecting internal links to headlines, like
  103. : [[*Headline][A link to a headline]]
  104. Storing a link to a headline may have been broken in your setup and
  105. those links may appear as
  106. : [[*TODO Headline][A link to a headline]]
  107. Following the link above will result in an error: the TODO keyword
  108. should not be part of internal file links.
  109. You can use the following command to fix links in an Org buffer:
  110. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  111. (defun org-fix-links ()
  112. "Fix ill-formatted internal links.
  113. E.g. replace [[*TODO Headline][headline]] by [[*Headline][headline]].
  114. Go through the buffer and ask for the replacement."
  115. (interactive)
  116. (visible-mode 1)
  117. (save-excursion
  118. (goto-char (point-min))
  119. (let ((regexp (format "\\[\\[\\*%s\\s-+"
  120. (regexp-opt org-todo-keywords-1 t))))
  121. (while (re-search-forward regexp nil t)
  122. (when (and (save-excursion
  123. (goto-char (match-beginning 0))
  124. (looking-at-p org-link-bracket-re))
  125. (y-or-n-p "Fix link (remove TODO keyword)? "))
  126. (replace-match "[[*")))))
  127. (visible-mode -1))
  128. #+end_src
  129. *** Calling conventions changes when opening or exporting custom links
  130. This changes affects export back-ends, and libraries providing new
  131. link types.
  132. Function used in ~:follow~ link parameter is required to accept a
  133. second argument. Likewise, function used in ~:export~ parameter needs
  134. to accept a fourth argument. See ~org-link-set-parameters~ for
  135. details.
  136. Eventually, the function ~org-export-custom-protocol-maybe~ is now
  137. called with a fourth argument. Even though the 3-arguments definition
  138. is still supported, at least for now, we encourage back-end developers
  139. to switch to the new signature.
  140. *** Python session return values must be top-level expression statements
  141. Python blocks with ~:session :results value~ header arguments now only
  142. return a value if the last line is a top-level expression statement.
  143. Also, when a None value is returned, "None" will be printed under
  144. "#+RESULTS:", as it already did with ~:results value~ for non-session
  145. blocks.
  146. *** In HTML export, change on how outline-container-* is set
  147. When the headline has a =CUSTOM_ID=, use this custom id to build the
  148. div id. For example, if you have =:CUSTOM_ID: my-headline= then the
  149. resulting <div> will be ~<div id="outline-container-my-headline">~.
  150. You may want to check whether your HTML files are rendered differently
  151. after this change.
  152. *** New keybinding =<C-c C-TAB>= for ~org-force-cycle-archived~
  153. ~org-force-cycle-archived~ used to be associated with =<C-TAB>= but
  154. this keybinding is used in Emacs for navigating tabs in Emacs. The
  155. new keybinding is =<C-c C-TAB>=.
  156. ** New default settings for some options
  157. These options now default to =t=:
  158. - ~org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region~
  159. - ~org-fontify-done-headline~
  160. - ~org-src-tab-acts-natively~
  161. You may want to read the docstrings of these options to understand the
  162. consequences of this change.
  163. Also, ~org-startup-folded~ now defaults to ~showeverything~.
  164. ** New features
  165. *** Looping agenda commands over headlines
  166. ~org-agenda-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region~ allows you to loop
  167. agenda commands over the active region.
  168. When set to =t= (the default), loop over all headlines. When set to
  169. ='start-level=, loop over headlines with the same level as the first
  170. headline in the region. When set to a string, loop over lines
  171. matching this regular expression.
  172. *** New minor mode ~org-table-header-line-mode~
  173. Turn on the display of the first data row of the table at point in the
  174. window header line when this first row is not visible anymore in the
  175. buffer.
  176. You can activate this minor mode by default by setting the option
  177. ~org-table-header-line-p~ to =t=. You can also change the face for
  178. the header line by customizing the ~org-table-header~ face.
  179. *** New minor mode ~org-list-checkbox-radio-mode~
  180. When this minor mode is on, checkboxes behave as radio buttons: if a
  181. checkbox is turned on, other checkboxes at the same level are turned
  182. off.
  183. If you want to occasionally toggle a checkbox as a radio button
  184. without turning this minor mode on, you can use =<C-c C-x C-r>= to
  185. call ~org-toggle-radio-button~.
  186. You can also add =#+ATTR_ORG: :radio t= right before the list to tell
  187. Org to use radio buttons for this list only.
  188. *** New allowed value for ~org-adapt-indentation~
  189. ~org-adapt-indentation~ now accepts a new value, ='headline-data=.
  190. When set to this value, Org will only adapt indentation of headline
  191. data lines, such as planning/clock lines and property/logbook drawers.
  192. Also, with this setting, =org-indent-mode= will keep these data lines
  193. correctly aligned with the headline above.
  194. *** Numeric priorities are now allowed (up to 65)
  195. You can now set ~org-priority-highest/lowest/default~ to integers to
  196. use numeric priorities globally or set, for example
  197. #+PRIORITIES: 1 10 5
  198. to define a buffer-local range and default for priorities. Priority
  199. commands should work as usual. You cannot use numbers superior to 64
  200. for numeric priorities, as it would clash with priorities like [#A]
  201. where the "A" is internally converted to its numeric value of 65.
  202. *** Property drawers allowed before first headline
  203. Property drawers are now allowed before the first headline.
  204. Org mode is moving more towards making things before the first
  205. headline behave just as if it was at outline level 0. Inheritance for
  206. properties will work also for this level. In other words: defining
  207. things in a property drawer before the first headline will make them
  208. "inheritable" for all headlines.
  209. *** Refinement in window behavior on exiting Org source buffer
  210. After editing a source block, Org will restore the window layout when
  211. ~org-src-window-setup~ is set to a value that modifies the layout.
  212. *** Display remote inline images
  213. Org now knows how to display remote images inline.
  214. Whether the images are actually displayed is controlled by the new
  215. option ~org-display-remote-inline-images~.
  216. *** New option to resolve open clock at a provided time
  217. ~org-resolve-clocks~ now has a `t' option, which works just like the
  218. `k' option, but the user specifies a time of day, not a number of
  219. minutes.
  220. *** New step value =semimonth= accepted for clock tables
  221. *** Allow text rescaling in column view
  222. You can now use =C-x C-+= in column view: the columns face size will
  223. increase or decrease, together with the column header size.
  224. *** New startup option =#+startup: num=
  225. When this startup option is set, display headings as numerated.
  226. Use =#+startup: nonum= to turn this off.
  227. *** New tool for custom links
  228. Org provides a new tool ~org-link-open-as-file~, useful when defining
  229. new link types similar to "file"-type links. See docstring for
  230. details.
  231. *** New optional numeric argument for ~org-return~
  232. In situations where ~org-return~ calls ~newline~, multiple newlines
  233. can now be inserted with this prefix argument.
  234. *** New source code block header argument =:file-mode=
  235. Source code block header argument =:file-mode= can set file
  236. permissions if =:file= argument is provided.
  237. *** =RET= and =C-j= now obey ~electric-indent-mode~
  238. Since Emacs 24.4, ~electric-indent-mode~ is enabled by default. In
  239. most major modes, this causes =RET= to reindent the current line and
  240. indent the new line, and =C-j= to insert a newline without indenting.
  241. Org mode now obeys this minor mode: when ~electric-indent-mode~ is
  242. enabled, and point is neither in a table nor on a timestamp or a link:
  243. - =RET= (bound to ~org-return~) reindents the current line and indents
  244. the new line;
  245. - =C-j= (bound to the new command ~org-return-and-maybe-indent~)
  246. merely inserts a newline.
  247. To get the previous behaviour back, disable ~electric-indent-mode~
  248. explicitly:
  249. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  250. (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (electric-indent-local-mode -1)))
  251. #+end_src
  252. *** =ob-C.el= allows the inclusion of non-system header files
  253. In C and C++ blocks, ~:includes~ arguments that do not start with a
  254. ~<~ character will now be formatted as double-quoted ~#include~
  255. statements.
  256. *** =ob-clojure.el= supports inf-clojure.el and ClojureScript evaluation
  257. You can now set ~(setq org-babel-clojure-backend 'inf-clojure)~ and
  258. evaluate Clojure source blocks using [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/inf-clojure][inf-clojure]]. With a header
  259. argument like =:alias "alias"= the Clojure REPL will boot with
  260. =clojure -Aalias=. Otherwise Clojure will boot with =lein=, =boot= or
  261. =tools.deps=, depending on whether the current directory contains a
  262. =project.clj=, =build.boot= or =deps.edn=, falling back on
  263. ~inf-clojure-generic-cmd~ in case no such file is present.
  264. Also, when using [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider][cider]], you can now use =#+begin_src clojurescript= to
  265. execute ClojureScript code from Org files. Note that this works only
  266. if your Org file is associated with a cider session that knows how to
  267. run ClojureScript code. A bare =lein repl= session outside of a
  268. directory configured for ClojureScript will /not/ work.
  269. *** =ob-java.el= supports Java command line arguments
  270. Babel Java blocks recognize header argument =:cmdargs= and pass its
  271. value in call to =java=.
  272. *** =ob-screen.el= now accepts =:screenrc= header argument
  273. Screen blocks now recognize the =:screenrc= header argument and pass
  274. its value to the screen command via the "-c" option. The default
  275. remains =/dev/null= (i.e. a clean screen session)
  276. *** =ob-plantuml=: now supports using PlantUML executable to generate diagrams
  277. Set =org-plantuml-exec-mode= to ='plantuml= in order to use the
  278. executable instead of JAR. When using an executable it is also
  279. possible to configure executable location as well as arguments via:
  280. =org-plantuml-executable-path= and =org-plantuml-executable-args=.
  281. ** New commands
  282. *** ~org-table-header-line-mode~
  283. Turn on a minor mode to display the first data row of the table at
  284. point in the header-line when the beginning of the table is invisible.
  285. *** ~org-agenda-ctrl-c-ctrl-c~
  286. Hitting =<C-c C-c>= in an agenda view now calls ~org-agenda-set-tags~.
  287. *** ~org-hide-entry~
  288. This command is the counterpart of ~org-show-entry~.
  289. *** ~org-columns-toggle-or-columns-quit~
  290. =<C-c C-c>= bound to ~org-columns-toggle-or-columns-quit~ replaces the
  291. recent ~org-columns-set-tags-or-toggle~. Tag setting is still
  292. possible via column view value edit or with =<C-c C-q>=.
  293. *** ~org-datetree-find-month-create~
  294. Find or create a month entry for a date.
  295. ** New options and settings
  296. *** New option ~org-html-prefer-user-labels~
  297. When non-nil, use =NAME= affiliated keyword, or raw target values, to
  298. generate anchor's ID. Otherwise, consistently use internal naming
  299. scheme.
  300. =CUSTOM_ID= values are still always used, when available.
  301. *** New option for using tabs in ~org-agenda-window-setup~
  302. Choosing ~other-tab~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~ will open the
  303. agenda view in a new tab. This will work with versions of Emacs since
  304. 27.1 when ~tab-bar-mode~ was introduced.
  305. *** New option ~org-table-header-line-p~
  306. Setting this option to =t= will activate ~org-table-header-line-mode~
  307. in org-mode buffers.
  308. *** New option ~org-startup-numerated~
  309. When this option is =t=, Org files will start using ~(org-num-mode 1)~
  310. and headings will be visually numerated.
  311. You can turn this on/off on a per-file basis with =#+startup: num= or
  312. =#+startup: nonum=.
  313. *** New option ~org-clock-auto-clockout-timer~
  314. When this option is set to a number and the user configuration
  315. contains =(org-clock-auto-clockout-insinuate)=, Org will clock out the
  316. currently clocked in task after that number of seconds of idle time.
  317. This is useful when you often forget to clock out before being idle
  318. and don't want to have to manually set the clocking time to take into
  319. account.
  320. *** New option to group captured datetime entries by month
  321. A new `:tree-type month' option was added to org-capture-templates to
  322. group new datetime entries by month.
  323. *** New option to show source buffers using "plain" display-buffer
  324. There is a new option ~plain~ to ~org-src-window-setup~ to show source
  325. buffers using ~display-buffer~. This allows users to control how
  326. source buffers are displayed by modifying ~display-buffer-alist~ or
  327. ~display-buffer-base-action~.
  328. *** New option ~org-archive-subtree-save-file-p~
  329. Archiving a subtree used to always save the target archive buffer.
  330. Commit [[https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/b186d1d7][b186d1d7]] changed this behavior by always not saving the target
  331. buffer, because batch archiving from agenda could take too much time.
  332. This new option ~org-archive-subtree-save-file-p~ defaults to the
  333. value =from-org= so that archiving a subtree will save the target
  334. buffer when done from an org-mode buffer, but not from the agenda.
  335. You can also set this option to =t= or to =from-agenda=.
  336. *** New option ~org-show-notification-timeout~
  337. This option will add a timeout to notifications.
  338. *** New option ~org-latex-to-html-convert-command~
  339. This new option allows you to convert a LaTeX fragment directly into
  340. HTML.
  341. *** New option ~org-babel-shell-results-defaults-to-output~
  342. By default, source code blocks are executed in "functional mode": it
  343. means that the results of executing them are the value of their last
  344. statement (see [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Results-of-Evaluation.html][the documentation]].)
  345. The value of a shell script's execution is its exit code. But most
  346. users expect the results of executing a shell script to be its output,
  347. not its exit code.
  348. So we introduced this option, that you can set to =nil= if you want
  349. to stick using ~:results value~ as the implicit header.
  350. In all Babel libraries, the absence of a ~:results~ header should
  351. produce the same result than setting ~:results value~, unless there is
  352. an option to explicitly create an exception.
  353. See [[https://orgmode.org/list/CA+A2iZaziAfMeGpBqL6qGrzrWEVvLvC0DUw++T4gCF3NGuW-DQ@mail.gmail.com/][this thread]] for more context.
  354. *** New option in ~org-attach-store-link-p~
  355. ~org-attach-store-link-p~ has a new option to store a file link to the
  356. attachment.
  357. *** New option ~org-fontify-todo-headline~
  358. This feature is the same as ~org-fontify-done-headline~, but for TODO
  359. headlines instead. This allows you to distinguish TODO headlines from
  360. normal headlines. The face can be customized via ~org-headline-todo~.
  361. *** New default value for ~org-file-apps~
  362. The new value uses Emacs as the application for opening directory.
  363. *** New hook ~org-agenda-filter-hook~
  364. Functions in this hook are run after ~org-agenda-filter~ is called.
  365. ** Removed or renamed functions and variables
  366. *** Deprecated ~org-flag-drawer~ function
  367. Use ~org-hide-drawer-toggle~ instead.
  368. *** Deprecated ~org-hide-block-toggle-maybe~ function
  369. Use ~org-hide-block-toggle~ instead.
  370. *** Deprecated ~org-hide-block-toggle-all~ function
  371. This function was not used in the code base, and has no clear use
  372. either. It has been marked for future removal. Please contact the
  373. mailing list if you use this function.
  374. *** Deprecated ~org-return-indent~ function
  375. In Elisp code, use ~(org-return t)~ instead. Interactively, =C-j= is
  376. now bound to ~org-return-and-maybe-indent~, which indents the new line
  377. when ~electric-indent-mode~ is disabled.
  378. *** Removed ~org-maybe-keyword-time-regexp~
  379. The variable was not used in the code base.
  380. *** Removed ~org-export-special-keywords~
  381. The variable was not used in the code base.
  382. *** Renamed ~org-at-property-block-p~
  383. The new name is ~org-at-property-drawer-p~, which is less confusing.
  384. *** Renamed ~org-columns-set-tags-or-toggle~
  385. See [[*~org-columns-toggle-or-columns-quit~]].
  386. *** Renamed priority options
  387. From ~org-lowest-priority~ to ~org-priority-lowest~.
  388. From ~org-default-priority~ to ~org-priority-default~.
  389. From ~org-highest-priority~ to ~org-priority-highest~.
  390. From ~org-enable-priority-commands~ to ~org-priority-enable-commands~.
  391. From ~org-show-priority~ to ~org-priority-show~.
  392. ** Miscellaneous
  393. *** =ob-screen.el= now respects screen =:session= name
  394. Screen babel session are now named based on the =:session= header
  395. argument (defaults to ~default~).
  396. Previously all session names had ~org-babel-session-~ prepended.
  397. *** Forward/backward paragraph functions in line with the rest of Emacs
  398. ~org-forward-paragraph~ and ~org-backward-paragraph~, bound to
  399. ~<C-UP>~ and ~<C-DOWN>~ functions mimic more closely behaviour of
  400. ~forward-paragraph~ and ~backward-paragraph~ functions when
  401. available.
  402. They also accept an optional argument for multiple calls.
  403. See their docstring for details.
  404. *** ~org-table-to-lisp~ no longer checks if point is at a table
  405. The caller is now responsible for the check. It can use, e.g.,
  406. ~org-at-table-p~.
  407. The function is also much more efficient than it used to be, even on
  408. very large tables.
  409. *** New function ~org-collect-keywords~
  410. *** Drawers' folding use an API similar to block's
  411. Tooling for folding drawers interactively or programmatically is now
  412. on par with block folding. In particular, ~org-hide-drawer-toggle~,
  413. a new function, is the central place for drawer folding.
  414. *** Duration can be read and written in compact form
  415. ~org-duration-to-minutes~ understands =1d3h5min= as a duration,
  416. whereas ~org-duration-from-minutes~ can output this compact form if
  417. the duration format contains the symbol ~compact~.
  418. *** C-n, C-p, SPC and DEL in agenda commands dispatch window
  419. You can now use =<C-n>=, =<C-p>=, =<SPC>= and =<DEL>= key to scroll up
  420. and down the agenda and attach dispatch window.
  421. *** =<C-c C-c>= in agenda calls ~org-agenda-set-tags~
  422. Both =<C-c C-q>= and =<C-c C-c>= set the tags of the headline in the
  423. Org buffer. Both keybindings are now available from the agenda too.
  424. *** Allow to use an empty HTML extension
  425. Using =(setq org-html-extension "")= or setting the HTML extension in
  426. any fashion will produce the expected output, with no trailing period
  427. to the resulting HTML file.
  428. *** Handle repeated tasks with =.+= type and hours step
  429. A task using a =.+= repeater and hours step is repeated starting from
  430. now. E.g.,
  431. #+begin_example
  432. ,,** TODO Wash my hands
  433. DEADLINE: <2019-04-05 08:00 Sun .+1h>
  434. Marking this DONE shifts the date to exactly one hour from now.
  435. #+end_example
  436. *** The format of equation reference in HTML export can now be specified
  437. By default, HTML (via MathJax) and LaTeX export equation references
  438. using different commands. LaTeX must use ~\ref{%s}~ because it is used
  439. for all labels; however, HTML (via MathJax) uses ~\eqref{%s}~ for
  440. equations producing inconsistent output. New option
  441. ~org-html-equation-reference-format~ sets the command used in HTML
  442. export.
  443. *** =ob-haskell.el= supports compilation with =:compile= header argument
  444. By default, Haskell blocks are interpreted. By adding =:compile yes=
  445. to a Haskell source block, it will be compiled, executed and the
  446. results will be displayed.
  447. *** Support for ~org-edit-special~ with LaTeX fragments
  448. Calling ~org-edit-special~ on an inline LaTeX fragment calls a new
  449. function, ~org-edit-latex-fragment~. This functions in a comparable
  450. manner to editing inline source blocks, bringing up a minibuffer set
  451. to LaTeX mode. The math-mode deliminators are read only.
  452. *** ~org-capture-current-plist~ is now accessible during ~org-capture-mode-hook~
  453. *** New =org-refile.el= file
  454. Org refile variables and functions have been moved to a new file.
  455. *** The end of a 7 years old bug
  456. This bug [[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-08/msg00072.html][originally reported]] by Matt Lundin and investigated by Andrew
  457. Hyatt has been fixed. Thanks to both of them.
  458. * Version 9.3
  459. ** Incompatible changes
  460. *** Change bracket link escaping syntax
  461. Org used to percent-encode sensitive characters in the URI part of the
  462. bracket links.
  463. Now, escaping mechanism uses the usual backslash character, according
  464. to the following rules:
  465. 1. All =[= and =]= characters in the URI must be escaped;
  466. 2. Every =\= character preceding either =[= or =]= must be escaped;
  467. 3. Every =\= character at the end of the URI must be escaped.
  468. When in doubt, use the function ~org-link-escape~ in order to turn
  469. a link string into its properly escaped form.
  470. The following function will help switching your links to the new
  471. syntax:
  472. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  473. (defun org-update-link-syntax (&optional no-query)
  474. "Update syntax for links in current buffer.
  475. Query before replacing a link, unless optional argument NO-QUERY
  476. is non-nil."
  477. (interactive "P")
  478. (org-with-point-at 1
  479. (let ((case-fold-search t))
  480. (while (re-search-forward "\\[\\[[^]]*?%\\(?:2[05]\\|5[BD]\\)" nil t)
  481. (let ((object (save-match-data (org-element-context))))
  482. (when (and (eq 'link (org-element-type object))
  483. (= (match-beginning 0)
  484. (org-element-property :begin object)))
  485. (goto-char (org-element-property :end object))
  486. (let* ((uri-start (+ 2 (match-beginning 0)))
  487. (uri-end (save-excursion
  488. (goto-char uri-start)
  489. (re-search-forward "\\][][]" nil t)
  490. (match-beginning 0)))
  491. (uri (buffer-substring-no-properties uri-start uri-end)))
  492. (when (or no-query
  493. (y-or-n-p
  494. (format "Possibly obsolete URI syntax: %S. Fix? "
  495. uri)))
  496. (setf (buffer-substring uri-start uri-end)
  497. (org-link-escape (org-link-decode uri)))))))))))
  498. #+end_src
  499. The old ~org-link-escape~ and ~org-link-unescape~ functions have been
  500. renamed into ~org-link-encode~ and ~org-link-decode~.
  501. *** Change match group number in ~org-link-bracket-re~
  502. Link description, if any, is located in match group 2 instead of match
  503. group 3.
  504. *** ob-clojure does not auto prepend ~(ns ..)~ statement anymore
  505. When tangling, user usually just wants to tangle literally code instead
  506. of prepend inserting a ~(ns ..)~ statement before source block
  507. code. Now, when you have no ~:ns~ header argument specified, this
  508. behavior will not happen automatically.
  509. *** Change in behavior on exit from an Org edit buffer
  510. Org will no longer attempt to restore the window configuration in the
  511. frame to which the user returns after editing a source block with
  512. ~org-edit-src-code~. Instead, the window configuration will remain as
  513. it is.
  514. *** Change default value for ~org-email-link-description-format~
  515. When linking from a mail buffer, Org used to truncate the subject of
  516. the message to 30 characters in order to build the description of the
  517. link. This behavior was considered as too surprising. As
  518. a consequence, Org no longer truncates subjects.
  519. You can get the old behavior back with the following:
  520. : (setq org-email-link-description-format "Email %c: %.30s")
  521. *** ~:file~ header argument no longer assume "file" ~:results~
  522. The "file" ~:results~ value is now mandatory for a code block
  523. returning a link to a file. The ~:file~ or ~:file-ext~ header
  524. arguments no longer imply a "file" result is expected.
  525. *** Plain numbers are hours in Column View mode
  526. See [[git:3367ac9457]] for details.
  527. *** All LaTeX preview backends use now xcolor
  528. The dvipng backend was previously relying on fg and bg parameters to
  529. be passed to the CLI. This didn't work when xcolor was directly or
  530. indirectly used in the document (e.g. tkiz is a user of xcolor). Since
  531. every other backend was already using xcolor to set fg and bg, the CLI
  532. alternative was removed and there is no more a :use-xcolor options
  533. since now it's implicitly always true.
  534. *** Org-Attach Git commit
  535. [[*Org-Attach has been refactored and extended][Refactoring of Org-Attach]] affected the Git commit functionality. Not
  536. much, but the following changes are required if you still need to
  537. auto-commit attachments to git:
  538. - Customization of ~org-attach-annex-auto-get~ needs to be renamed to
  539. ~org-attach-git-annex-auto-get~.
  540. - Customization of ~org-attach-commit~ is no longer needed. Instead
  541. one need to require the =org-attach-git= module in the startup.
  542. ** New features
  543. *** New option to wrap source code lines in HTML export
  544. When new option ~html-wrap-src-lines~ (with variable
  545. ~org-html-wrap-src-lines~) is non-nil, HTML export wraps source code
  546. lines in HTML ~code~ elements.
  547. *** New option to handle schedules and deadlines in iCalendar export
  548. Export ignore done tasks with a deadline when
  549. ~org-icalendar-use-deadline~ contains ~event-if-todo-not-done~.
  550. Likewise, scheduled done tasks are also ignored when
  551. ~org-icalendar-use-scheduled~ contains the same symbol.
  552. *** Add ~split-window-right~ option for src block edit window placement
  553. Given the increasing popularity of wide screen monitors, splitting
  554. horizontally may make more sense than splitting vertically. An
  555. option, ~split-window-right~, to request horizontal splitting has been
  556. added to ~org-src-window-setup~.
  557. *** Org-Attach has been refactored and extended
  558. Org attach has been refactored and the functionality extended. It
  559. should now be easier to understand how it works. A few improvements
  560. and extra options have been added as well.
  561. From the initial comment in org-attach source-code:
  562. - Attachments are managed either by using a custom property DIR or by
  563. using property ID from org-id. When DIR is defined, a location in
  564. the filesystem is directly attached to the outline node. When
  565. org-id is used, attachments are stored in a folder named after the
  566. ID, in a location defined by ~org-attach-id-dir~. DIR has
  567. precedence over ID when both parameters are defined for the current
  568. outline node (also when inherited parameters are taken into
  569. account).
  570. From now on inheritance requires no extra property and will adhere to
  571. ~org-attach-use-inheritance~ by default. Inheritance can be
  572. customized to always be activated or never be activated in
  573. ~org-attach-use-inheritance~.
  574. The ATTACH_DIR property is deprecated in favor of the shorter
  575. property DIR. Links to folders inside the DIR property can now be
  576. declared as relative links. This is not enabled by default, but can
  577. be set in ~org-attach-dir-relative~.
  578. When adding new attachment to the outline node the preferred way of
  579. doing so can be customized. Take a look at
  580. ~org-attach-preferred-new-method~. It defaults to using ID since that
  581. was the behavior before this change.
  582. If both DIR and ID properties are set on the same node, DIR has
  583. precedence and will be used.
  584. One can now also choose to build attachment-directory-paths in a
  585. customized way. This is an advanced topic, but in some case it makes
  586. sense to parse an ID in a different way than the default one. Create
  587. your own function and add it to the beginning of
  588. ~org-attach-id-to-path-function~list~ if you want to customize the ID
  589. based folder structure.
  590. If you've used ATTACH_DIR properties to manage attachments, use the
  591. following code to rename that property to DIR which supports the same
  592. functionality. ATTACH_DIR_INHERIT is no longer supported and is
  593. removed.
  594. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  595. (defun org-update-attach-properties ()
  596. "Change properties for Org-Attach."
  597. (interactive)
  598. (org-with-point-at 1
  599. (while (outline-next-heading)
  600. (let ((DIR (org--property-local-values "ATTACH_DIR" nil)))
  601. (when DIR
  602. (org-set-property "DIR" (car DIR))
  603. (org-delete-property "ATTACH_DIR"))))
  604. (org-delete-property-globally "ATTACH_DIR_INHERIT")))
  605. #+end_src
  606. For those who hate breaking changes, even though the changes are made
  607. to clean things up; fear not. ATTACH_DIR will still continue to work.
  608. It's just not documented any longer. When you get the chance, run the
  609. code above to clean things up anyways!
  610. **** New hooks
  611. Two hooks are added to org-attach:
  612. - org-attach-after-change-hook
  613. - org-attach-open-hook
  614. They are added mostly for internal restructuring purposes, but can
  615. ofc. be used for other things as well.
  616. *** New link-type: Attachment
  617. Attachment-links are now first-class citizens. They mimic file-links
  618. in everything they do but use the existing attachment-folder as a base
  619. when expanding the links. Both =DIR= and =ID= properties are used to
  620. try to resolve the links, in exactly the same way as Org-Attach uses
  621. those properties.
  622. *** Handle overlay specification for notes in Beamer export
  623. This aligns Beamer notes with slide overlays.
  624. *** Add support for lettered lists in Texinfo
  625. Using =:enum A= or =:enum a= Texinfo attribute switches an otherwise
  626. numbered list to a lettered list.
  627. *** Add a dispatcher command to insert dynamic blocks
  628. You can add new dynamic blocks with function
  629. ~org-dynamic-block-define~. All such dynamic blocks can be used by
  630. ~org-dynamic-block-insert-dblock~ command.
  631. *** Babel
  632. **** ob-emacs-lisp sets ~lexical-binding~ in Org edit buffers
  633. When editing an Elisp src block, the editing buffer's
  634. ~lexical-binding~ is set according to the src block's =:lexical=
  635. parameter.
  636. **** Add LaTeX output support in PlantUML
  637. *** New minor mode to display headline numbering
  638. Use =<M-x org-num-mode>= to get a visual indication of the numbering
  639. in the outline. The numbering is also automatically updated upon
  640. changes in the buffer.
  641. *** New property =HTML_HEADLINE_CLASS= in HTML export
  642. The new property =HTML_HEADLINE_CLASS= assigns a class attribute to
  643. a headline.
  644. *** Allow LaTeX attributes and captions for "table.el" tables
  645. Supported LaTeX attributes are ~:float~, ~:center~, ~:font~ and
  646. ~:caption~.
  647. *** Attach buffer contents to headline
  648. With =<b>= key from attachment dispatcher (=<C-c C-a>=), it is now
  649. possible to write the contents of a buffer to a file in the headline
  650. attachment directory.
  651. *** iCalendar export respects a =CLASS= property
  652. Set the =CLASS= property on an entry to specify a visibility class for
  653. that entry only during iCalendar export. The property can be set to
  654. anything the calendar server supports. The iCalendar standard defines
  655. the values =PUBLIC=, =CONFIDENTIAL=, =PRIVATE=, which can be
  656. interpreted as publicly visible, accessible to a specific group, and
  657. private respectively.
  658. This property can be inherited during iCalendar export, depending on
  659. the value of ~org-use-property-inheritance~.
  660. *** New parameter for =INCLUDE= keyword
  661. Add =:coding CODING-SYSTEM= to include files using a different coding
  662. system than the main Org document. For example:
  663. #+begin_example
  664. ,#+INCLUDE: "myfile.cmd" src cmd :coding cp850-dos
  665. #+end_example
  666. *** New values in clock tables' step: =month= and =year=
  667. *** ODT export handles numbers cookies in lists
  668. *** New cell movement functions in tables
  669. ~S-<UP>~, ~S-<DOWN>~, ~S-<RIGHT>~, and ~S-<LEFT>~ now move cells in
  670. the corresponding direction by swapping with the adjacent cell.
  671. *** New option to natively fontify LaTeX snippets and environments
  672. A 'native option was added to org-highlight-latex-and-related. It
  673. matches the same structures than 'latex but it calls
  674. org-src-font-lock-fontify-block instead, thus bringing about full
  675. LaTeX font locking.
  676. *** ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ learned to shift backward in time
  677. =<C-c C-x c>= (~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~) now takes a
  678. negative value as a valid repeater to shift time stamps in backward
  679. in cloned subtrees. You can give, for example, ‘-3d’ to shift three
  680. days in the past.
  681. *** Toggle display of all vs. undone scheduled habits conveniently
  682. =<C-u K>= (~org-habit-toggle-display-in-agenda~) in an agenda toggles
  683. the display of all habits to those which are undone and scheduled.
  684. This is a function for convenience.
  685. *** New parameter for SQL Babel blocks: ~:dbconnection~
  686. The new parameter ~:dbconnection~ allows to specify a connection name
  687. in a SQL block header: this name is used to look up connection
  688. parameters in ~sql-connection-alist~.
  689. *** New =:scale= attribute supported by LaTeX exporters
  690. The builtin "latex" exporters now accept and use a =:scale= attribute,
  691. which scales an image by a given factor.
  692. This attribute is wrapped around the =scale= parameter of LaTeX's
  693. =\includegraphics= (bitmap images) or a TiKZ's =\scalebox=.
  694. Therefore, its value should be some string palatable to LaTeX as
  695. a positive float Its default value is an empty string (i.e. disabled).
  696. This attribute overrides the =:width= and =:height= attributes.
  697. #+begin_example
  698. ,#+name: Beastie
  699. ,#+caption: I think I saw this curious horse already, but where ?
  700. ,#+LATEX_ATTR: :scale 2
  701. [[https://orgmode.org/img/org-mode-unicorn-logo.png]]
  702. #+end_example
  703. *** Allow specifying the target for a table of contents
  704. The =+TOC= keyword now accepts a =:target:= attribute that specifies
  705. the headline to use for making the table of contents.
  706. #+begin_example
  707. ,* Target
  708. :PROPERTIES:
  709. :CUSTOM_ID: TargetSection
  710. :END:
  711. ,** Heading A
  712. ,** Heading B
  713. ,* Another section
  714. ,#+TOC: headlines 1 :target "#TargetSection"
  715. #+end_example
  716. ** New functions
  717. *** ~org-dynamic-block-insert-dblock~
  718. Use default keybinding =<C-c C-x x>= to run command
  719. ~org-dynamic-block-insert-dblock~. It will prompt user to select
  720. dynamic block in ~org-dynamic-block-alist~.
  721. *** ~org-table-cell-up~
  722. *** ~org-table-cell-down~
  723. *** ~org-table-cell-left~
  724. *** ~org-table-cell-right~
  725. *** ~org-habit-toggle-display-in-agenda~
  726. ** Removed functions and variables
  727. *** Removed Org Drill
  728. You can install it back from MELPA.
  729. *** ~org-babel-set-current-result-hash~
  730. *** ~org-capture-insert-template-here~
  731. *** ~org-attach-directory~
  732. It has been deprecated in favor of ~org-attach-id-dir~ which is less
  733. ambiguous given the restructured org-attach.
  734. *** ~org-enable-fixed-width-editor~
  735. This variable was not used through the code base.
  736. ** Miscellaneous
  737. *** Change signature for ~org-list-to-subtree~
  738. The function now accepts the level of the subtree as an optional
  739. argument. It no longer deduces it from the current level.
  740. *** LaTeX preview is simplified
  741. Function ~org-latex-preview~, formerly known as
  742. ~org-toggle-latex-fragment~, has a hopefully simpler and more
  743. predictable behavior. See its docstring for details.
  744. *** ~org-table-copy-down~ supports patterns
  745. When ~org-table-copy-increment~ is non-nil, it is now possible to
  746. increment fields like =A1=, or =0A=, i.e., any string prefixed or
  747. suffixed with a whole number.
  748. *** No more special indentation for description items
  749. Descriptions items are indented like regular ones, i.e., text starts
  750. after the bullet. Special indentation used to introduce bugs when
  751. inserting sub-items in a description list.
  752. *** New hook: ~org-todo-repeat-hook~
  753. This hook was actually introduced in Org 9.2.1, but wasn't advertised.
  754. *** Org Table reads numbers starting with 0 as strings
  755. *** Disable fast tag selection interface via prefix arg
  756. A call of ~org-set-tags-command~ with prefix argument C-u C-u avoids
  757. the fast tag selection interface and instead offers the plain
  758. interface.
  759. *** ~:mkdirp~ now supports create directory for ~:dir~ path
  760. The ~:mkdirp~ header argument used to only work for ~:tangle~ tangle
  761. files. Now ~:mkdirp~ works for ~:dir~ too. This is more convenient for
  762. specify default directory and with ~:file~ header argument.
  763. *** New variable: ~org-agenda-breadcrumbs-separator~
  764. If breadcrumbs are showed in org-agenda with the help of "%b" format
  765. in ~org-agenda-prefix-format~, user can customize breadcrumbs's
  766. separator using ~org-agenda-breadcrumbs-separator~.
  767. *** New variable ~org-attach-commands~
  768. This variable makes it possible to customize the list of commands for
  769. the attachment dispatcher.
  770. *** New ID method based on timestamp
  771. If one chooses, it is now possible to create ID's based on timestamp
  772. (ISO8601) instead of UUID by changing org-id-method to ts.
  773. For an improved folder structure when using timestamp as ID, make sure
  774. to promote ~org-attach-id-ts-folder-format~ to the first element of
  775. ~org-attach-id-to-path-function-list~ in your configuration at the
  776. same time.
  777. *** New customization: ~org-id-locations-relative~
  778. New customization to make the persisting of org-id-locations between
  779. sessions to store links to files as relative instead of absolute. The
  780. links will be stored as relative to the path of org-id-locations-file.
  781. *** ~org-ctrl-c-tab~ is functional before the first headline
  782. I.e. treat the whole file as if it was a subtree.
  783. Also fold everything below the chosen level. Former behavior was to
  784. leave unfolded subtrees unfolded.
  785. *** ~org-kill-note-or-show-branches~ is functional before the first headline
  786. I.e. treat the whole file as if it was a subtree.
  787. *** Respect narrowing when agenda command is restricted to buffer
  788. *** ~org-table-insert-column~ inserts the column at point position
  789. Before, the new column was inserted to the right of the column at
  790. point position.
  791. *** Table column deletion now consistent with row deletion
  792. Point stays in the column at deletion, except when deleting the
  793. rightmost column.
  794. * Version 9.2
  795. ** Incompatible changes
  796. *** Removal of OrgStruct mode mode and radio lists
  797. OrgStruct minor mode and radio lists mechanism (~org-list-send-list~
  798. and ~org-list-radio-lists-templates~) are removed from the code base.
  799. Note that only radio /lists/ have been removed, not radio tables.
  800. If you want to manipulate lists like in Org in other modes, we suggest
  801. to use =orgalist.el=, which you can install from GNU ELPA.
  802. If you want to use Org folding outside of Org buffers, you can have a
  803. look at the outshine package in the MELPA repository.
  804. *** Change in the structure template expansion
  805. Org 9.2 comes with a new template expansion mechanism, combining
  806. ~org-insert-structure-template~ bound to ~C-c C-,~.
  807. If you customized the ~org-structure-template-alist~ option manually,
  808. you probably need to update it, see the docstring for accepted values.
  809. If you prefer using previous patterns, e.g. =<s=, you can activate
  810. them again by requiring Org Tempo library:
  811. : (require 'org-tempo)
  812. or add it to ~org-modules~.
  813. If you need complex templates, look at the ~tempo-define-template~
  814. function or at solutions like Yasnippet.
  815. *** Change to Noweb expansion
  816. Expansion check =:noweb-ref= only if no matching named block is found
  817. in the buffer. As a consequence, any =:noweb-ref= value matching the
  818. name of a source block in the buffer is ignored. A simple fix is to
  819. give every concerned source-block, including the named one, a new,
  820. unique, Noweb reference.

  846. *** Default/accepted values of ~org-calendar-to-agenda-key~
  847. The default value and accepted value of ~org-calendar-to-agenda-key~
  848. changed. This is an excerpt of the new docstring:
  849. : When set to ‘default’, bind the function to ‘c’, but only if it is
  850. : available in the Calendar keymap. This is the default choice because
  851. : ‘c’ can then be used to switch back and forth between agenda and calendar.
  852. :
  853. : When nil, ‘org-calendar-goto-agenda’ is not bound to any key.
  854. Check the full docstring for more.
  855. *** Change the signature of the ~org-set-effort~ function
  856. Here is the new docstring:
  857. : (org-set-effort &optional INCREMENT VALUE)
  858. :
  859. : Set the effort property of the current entry.
  860. : If INCREMENT is non-nil, set the property to the next allowed
  861. : value. Otherwise, if optional argument VALUE is provided, use
  862. : it. Eventually, prompt for the new value if none of the previous
  863. : variables is set.
  864. *** Placeholders in =(eval ...)= macros are always strings
  865. Within =(eval ...)= macros, =$1=-like placeholders are always replaced
  866. with a string. As a consequence, they must not be enclosed within
  867. quotes. As an illustration, consider the following, now valid,
  868. examples:
  869. #+begin_example
  870. ,#+macro: join (eval (concat $1 $2))
  871. ,#+macro: sum (eval (+ (string-to-number $1) (string-to-number $2)))
  872. {{{join(a,b)}}} => ab
  873. {{{sum(1,2)}}} => 3
  874. #+end_example
  875. However, there is no change in non-eval macros:
  876. #+begin_example
  877. ,#+macro: disp argument: $1
  878. {{{disp(text)}}} => argument: text
  879. #+end_example
  880. *** =align= STARTUP value no longer narrow table columns
  881. Columns narrowing (or shrinking) is now dynamic. See [[*Dynamically
  882. narrow table columns]] for details. In particular, it is decoupled from
  883. aligning.
  884. If you need to automatically shrink columns upon opening an Org
  885. document, use =shrink= value instead, or in addition to align:
  886. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  887. ,#+STARTUP: align shrink
  888. #+END_EXAMPLE
  889. *** ~org-get-tags~ meaning change
  890. Function ~org-get-tags~ used to return local tags to the current
  891. headline. It now returns all the inherited tags in addition to the
  892. local tags. In order to get the old behavior back, you can use:
  893. : (org-get-tags nil t)
  894. *** Alphabetic sorting in tables and lists
  895. When sorting alphabetically, ~org-table-sort-lines~ and ~org-sort-list~
  896. now sort according to the locale’s collation rules instead of by
  897. code-point.
  898. *** Change the name of the :tags clocktable option to :match
  899. The =:match= (renamed from =:tags=) option allows to limit clock entries
  900. to those matching a todo-tags matcher.
  901. The old =:tags= option can be set to =t= to display a headline's tags in a
  902. dedicated column.
  903. This is consistent with the naming of =org-dblock-write:columnview=
  904. options, where =:match= is also used as a headlines filter.
  905. ** New features
  906. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-clojure for CIDER
  907. You can initialize source block session with Babel default keybinding
  908. =[C-c C-v C-z]= to use =sesman= session manager to link current
  909. project, directory or buffer with specific Clojure session, or
  910. =cider-jack-in= a new CIDER REPL if no CIDER REPLs available. In older
  911. CIDER version which has not =sesman= integrated, only has
  912. =cider-jack-in= without Clojure project is supported.
  913. #+begin_src clojure :session
  914. (dissoc Clojure 'JVM)
  915. (conj clojurists "stardiviner")
  916. #+end_src
  917. *** Add ~:results link~ support for Babel
  918. With this output format, create a link to the file specified in
  919. ~:file~ header argument, without actually writing any result to it:
  920. #+begin_example
  921. ,#+begin_src shell :dir "data/tmp" :results link :file "crackzor_1.0.c.gz"
  922. wget -c "http://ben.akrin.com/crackzor/crackzor_1.0.c.gz"
  923. ,#+end_src
  924. ,#+results:
  925. [[file:data/tmp/crackzor_1.0.c.gz]]
  926. #+end_example
  927. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-js for js-comint
  928. #+begin_src js :session "*Javascript REPL*"
  929. console.log("stardiviner")
  930. #+end_src
  931. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-js for Indium
  932. #+begin_src js :session "*JS REPL*"
  933. console.log("stardiviner")
  934. #+end_src
  935. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-js for skewer-mode
  936. #+begin_src js :session "*skewer-repl*"
  937. console.log("stardiviner")
  938. #+end_src
  939. *** Add support for links to LaTeX equations in HTML export
  940. Use MathJax links when enabled (by ~org-html-with-latex~), otherwise
  941. add a label to the rendered equation.
  942. *** Org Tempo may used for snippet expansion of structure template.
  943. See manual and the commentary section in ~org-tempo.el~ for details.
  944. *** Exclude unnumbered headlines from table of contents
  945. Set their =UNNUMBERED= property to the special =notoc= value. See
  946. manual for details.
  947. *** ~org-archive~ functions update status cookies
  948. Archiving headers through ~org-archive-subtree~ and
  949. ~org-archive-to-archive-sibling~ such as the ones listed below:
  950. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  951. ,* Top [1/2]
  952. ,** DONE Completed
  953. ,** TODO Working
  954. #+END_SRC
  955. Will update the status cookie in the top level header.
  956. *** Disable =org-agenda-overriding-header= by setting to empty string
  957. The ~org-agenda-overriding-header~ inserted into agenda views can now
  958. be disabled by setting it to an empty string.
  959. *** Dynamically narrow table columns
  960. With ~C-c TAB~, it is now possible to narrow a column to the width
  961. specified by a width cookie in the column, or to 1 character if there
  962. is no such cookie. The same keybinding expands a narrowed column to
  963. its previous state.
  964. Editing the column automatically expands the whole column to its full
  965. size.
  966. *** =org-columns-summary-types= entries can take an optional COLLECT function
  967. You can use this to make collection of a property from an entry
  968. conditional on another entry. E.g. given this configuration:
  969. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  970. (defun custom/org-collect-confirmed (property)
  971. "Return `PROPERTY' for `CONFIRMED' entries"
  972. (let ((prop (org-entry-get nil property))
  973. (confirmed (org-entry-get nil "CONFIRMED")))
  974. (if (and prop (string= "[X]" confirmed))
  975. prop
  976. "0")))
  977. (setq org-columns-summary-types
  978. '(("X+" org-columns--summary-sum
  979. custom/org-collect-confirmed)))
  980. #+END_SRC
  981. You can have a file =bananas.org= containing:
  982. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  983. ,#+columns: %ITEM %CONFIRMED %Bananas{+} %Bananas(Confirmed Bananas){X+}
  984. ,* All shipments
  985. ,** Shipment 1
  986. :PROPERTIES:
  987. :CONFIRMED: [X]
  988. :Bananas: 4
  989. :END:
  990. ,** Shipment 2
  991. :PROPERTIES:
  992. :CONFIRMED: [ ]
  993. :BANANAS: 7
  994. :END:
  995. #+END_SRC
  996. ... and when going to the top of that file and entering column view
  997. you should expect to see something like:
  998. | ITEM | CONFIRMED | Bananas | Confirmed Bananas |
  999. |---------------+-----------+---------+-------------------|
  1000. | All shipments | | 11 | 4 |
  1001. | Shipment 1 | [X] | 4 | 4 |
  1002. | Shipment 2 | [ ] | 7 | 7 |
  1003. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1004. ,#+STARTUP: shrink
  1005. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1006. *** Allow to filter by tags/property when capturing colview
  1007. You can now use =:match= to filter entries using a todo/tags/properties
  1008. matcher.
  1009. *** Add support for Oracle's database alias in Babel blocks
  1010. =ob-sql= library already support running SQL blocks against an Oracle
  1011. database using ~sqlplus~. Now it's possible to use alias names
  1012. defined in =TNSNAMES= file instead of specifying full connection
  1013. parameters. See example below.
  1014. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1015. you can use the previous full connection parameters
  1016. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine oracle :dbuser me :dbpassword my_insecure_password :database my_db_name :dbhost my_db_host :dbport 1521
  1017. select sysdate from dual;
  1018. ,#+END_SRC
  1019. or the alias defined in your TNSNAMES file
  1020. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine oracle :dbuser me :dbpassword my_insecure_password :database my_tns_alias
  1021. select sysdate from dual;
  1022. ,#+END_SRC
  1023. #+END_SRC
  1024. *** ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock~ toggle agenda restriction at point
  1025. You can set an agenda restriction lock with =C-x C-x <= or with =<= at the
  1026. beginning of a headline when using Org speed commands. Now, if there
  1027. is already a restriction at point, hitting =<= again (or =C-x C-x <=) will
  1028. remove it.
  1029. *** Headlines can now link to themselves in HTML export
  1030. When enabling ~org-html-self-link-headlines~ the headlines exported to
  1031. HTML contain a hyperlink to themselves.
  1032. ** New commands and functions
  1033. *** ~org-insert-structure-template~
  1034. This function can be used to wrap existing text of Org elements in
  1035. a #+BEGIN_FOO/#+END_FOO block. Bound to C-c C-x w by default.
  1036. *** ~org-export-excluded-from-toc-p~
  1037. See docstring for details.
  1038. *** ~org-timestamp-to-time~
  1039. *** ~org-timestamp-from-string~
  1040. *** ~org-timestamp-from-time~
  1041. *** ~org-attach-dired-to-subtree~
  1042. See docstring for details.
  1043. *** ~org-toggle-narrow-to-subtree~
  1044. Toggle the narrowing state of the buffer: when in a narrowed state,
  1045. widen, otherwise call ~org-narrow-to-subtree~ to narrow.
  1046. This is attached to the "s" speed command, so that hitting "s" twice
  1047. will go back to the widen state.
  1048. *** ~org-browse-news~
  1049. Browse https://orgmode.org/Changes.html to let users read information
  1050. about the last major release.
  1051. There is a new menu entry for this in the "Documentation" menu item.
  1052. *** ~org-info-find-node~
  1053. From an Org file or an agenda switch to a suitable info page depending
  1054. on the context.
  1055. The function is bound to =C-c C-x I=.
  1056. ** Removed commands and functions
  1057. *** ~org-outline-overlay-data~
  1058. Use ~org-save-outline-visibility~ instead.
  1059. *** ~org-set-outline-overlay-data~
  1060. Use ~org-save-outline-visibility~ instead.
  1061. *** ~org-get-string-indentation~
  1062. It was not used throughout the code base.
  1063. *** ~org-fix-indentation~
  1064. It was not used throughout code base.
  1065. *** ~org-context-p~
  1066. Use ~org-element-at-point~ instead.
  1067. *** ~org-preserve-lc~
  1068. It is no longer used in the code base.
  1069. *** ~org-try-structure-completion~
  1070. Org Tempo may be used as a replacement. See details above.
  1071. ** Removed options
  1072. *** org-babel-use-quick-and-dirty-noweb-expansion
  1073. See [[*Change to Noweb expansion][Change to Noweb expansion]] for explanations.
  1074. ** Miscellaneous
  1075. *** New default value for ~org-texinfo-table-scientific-notation~
  1076. It is now nil, which means numbers in scientific notation are not
  1077. handled specially by default.
  1078. *** New default value for ~org-latex-table-scientific-notation~
  1079. It is now nil, which means numbers in scientific notation are not
  1080. handled specially by default.
  1081. *** New face: ~org-upcoming-distant-deadline~
  1082. It is meant to be used as the face for distant deadlines, see
  1083. ~org-agenda-deadline-faces~
  1084. *** ~org-paste-subtree~ no longer breaks sections
  1085. Unless point is at the beginning of a headline, ~org-paste-subtree~
  1086. now pastes the tree before the next visible headline. If you need to
  1087. break the section, use ~org-yank~ instead.
  1088. *** ~org-table-insert-column~ inserts a column to the right
  1089. It used to insert it on the left. With this change,
  1090. ~org-table-insert-column~ and ~org-table-delete-column~ are
  1091. reciprocal.
  1092. *** ~org-publish-resolve-external-link~ accepts a new optional argument.
  1093. *** ~org-irc.el~ now supports exporting =irc:= links properly
  1094. Previously, irc links were exported by ~ox-md~ and ~ox-html~ as normal
  1095. file links, which lead to them being broken in web browsers. Now both
  1096. of these exporters will properly export to =irc:= links, which will
  1097. open properly in irc clients from web browsers.
  1098. *** ~org-comment-dwim~ (bound to =M-;=) now comments headings, if point is on a heading
  1099. *** Add support for open source block in window below
  1100. Set option ~org-src-window-setup~ to ~split-window-below~.
  1101. *** Alphabetic sorting in headings and tags now uses the locale’s sorting rules
  1102. When sorting alphabetically, ~org-sort-entries~ and
  1103. ~org-tags-sort-function~ now sort according to the locale’s collation
  1104. rules instead of by code-point.
  1105. *** New speed command "k" to kill (cut) the subtree at point
  1106. * Version 9.1
  1107. ** Incompatible changes
  1108. *** Variables relative to clocksum duration are obsolete
  1109. ~org-time-clocksum-format~, ~org-time-clocksum-use-fractional~ and
  1110. ~org-time-clocksum-fractional-format~ are obsolete. If you changed
  1111. them, consider modifying ~org-duration-format~ instead.
  1112. Variable ~org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations~ is also obsolete.
  1113. Consider setting ~org-duration-units~ instead.
  1114. *** ~org-at-timestamp-p~ optional argument accepts different values
  1115. See docstrings for the allowed values. For backward compatibility,
  1116. ~(org-at-timestamp-p t)~ is still supported, but should be updated
  1117. accordingly.
  1118. *** ~org-capture-templates~ no longer accepts S-expressions as file names
  1119. Since functions are allowed there, a straightforward way to migrate
  1120. is to turn, e.g.,
  1121. : (file (sexp))
  1122. into
  1123. : (file (lambda () (sexp)))
  1124. *** Deleted contributed packages
  1125. =org-ebib.el, =org-bullets.el= and =org-mime.el= have been deleted
  1126. from the contrib/ directory.
  1127. You can now find them here :
  1128. - https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib
  1129. - https://github.com/sabof/org-bullets
  1130. - https://github.com/org-mime/org-mime
  1131. *** Change ~org-texinfo-classes~ value
  1132. The value cannot support functions to create sectioning commands
  1133. anymore. Also, the sectioning commands should include commands for
  1134. appendices. See the docstring for more information.
  1135. *** Removal of ~:sitemap-sans-extension~
  1136. The publishing property is no longer recognized, as a consequence of
  1137. changes to site-map generation.
  1138. You can get the same functionality by setting ~:sitemap-format-entry~
  1139. to the following
  1140. #+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  1141. (lambda (entry style project)
  1142. (cond ((not (directory-name-p entry))
  1143. (format "[[file:%s][%s]]"
  1144. (file-name-sans-extension entry)
  1145. (org-publish-find-title entry project)))
  1146. ((eq style 'tree) (file-name-nondirectory (directory-file-name entry)))
  1147. (t entry)))
  1148. #+END_SRC
  1149. *** Change signature for ~:sitemap-function~
  1150. ~:sitemap-function~ now expects to be called with two arguments. See
  1151. ~org-publish-project-alist~ for details.
  1152. *** Change signature for some properties in ~org-list-to-generic~
  1153. ~:istart~, ~:icount~, ~:iend~ and ~:isep~ now expect the type of the
  1154. list as their first argument.
  1155. *** Change signature for ~org-get-repeater~
  1156. The optional argument is now a string to extract the repeater from.
  1157. See docstring for details.
  1158. *** Change signature for ~org-time-string-to-time~
  1159. See docstring for changes.
  1160. *** Change order of items in ~org-agenda-time-grid~
  1161. ~org-agenda-time-grid~ gained an extra item to allow users to customize
  1162. the string displayed after times in the agenda. See docstring for
  1163. details.
  1164. *** ~tags-todo~ custom searches now include DONE keywords
  1165. Use "/!" markup when filtering TODO keywords to get only not-done TODO
  1166. keywords.
  1167. *** ~org-split-string~ returns ~("")~ when called on an empty string
  1168. It used to return nil.
  1169. *** Removal of =ob-scala.el=
  1170. See [[https://github.com/ensime/emacs-scala-mode/issues/114][this github issue]].
  1171. You can use =ob-scala.el= as packaged in scala-mode, available from the
  1172. MELPA repository.
  1173. ** New features
  1174. *** iCalendar export uses inheritance for TIMEZONE and LOCATION properties
  1175. Both these properties can be inherited during iCalendar export,
  1176. depending on the value of ~org-use-property-inheritance~.
  1177. *** iCalendar export respects a TIMEZONE property
  1178. Set the TIMEZONE property on an entry to specify a time zone for that
  1179. entry only during iCalendar export. The property value should be
  1180. specified as in "Europe/London".
  1181. *** ~org-attach~ can move directory contents
  1182. When setting a new directory for an entry, org-attach offers to move
  1183. files over from the old directory. Using a prefix arg will reset the
  1184. directory to old, ID based one.
  1185. *** New Org duration library
  1186. This new library implements tools to read and print time durations in
  1187. various formats (e.g., "H:MM", or "1d 2h 3min"...).
  1188. See ~org-duration-to-minutes~ and ~org-duration-from-minutes~
  1189. docstrings.
  1190. *** Agenda
  1191. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~
  1192. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~
  1193. **** New variable : ~org-deadline-past-days~
  1194. See docstring for details.
  1195. **** Binding C-c C-x < for ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  1196. **** New auto-align default setting for =org-agenda-tags-column=
  1197. =org-agenda-tags-column= can now be set to =auto=, which will
  1198. automatically align tags to the right edge of the window. This is now
  1199. the default setting.
  1200. *** New value for ~org-publish-sitemap-sort-folders~
  1201. The new ~ignore~ value effectively allows toggling inclusion of
  1202. directories in published site-maps.
  1203. *** Babel
  1204. **** Scheme: support for tables
  1205. **** Scheme: new variable: ~org-babel-scheme-null-to~
  1206. This new custom option allows you to use an empty list or null symbol to
  1207. format the table output, initially assigned to ~hlines~.
  1208. **** Scheme: new header ~:prologue~
  1209. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  1210. developers to prepend code to the scheme block being processed.
  1211. Multiple ~:prologue~ headers can be added each of them using a string
  1212. with the content to be added.
  1213. The scheme blocks are prepared by surrounding the code in the block
  1214. with a let form. The content of the ~:prologue~ headers are prepended
  1215. before this let form.
  1216. **** Support for hledger accounting reports added
  1217. **** Clojure: new setting ~org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout~
  1218. Creation of a new setting to specify the Cider timeout. By setting
  1219. the =org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout= setting option. The value
  1220. is in seconds and if set to =nil= then no timeout will occur.
  1221. **** Clojure: new header ~:show-process~
  1222. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  1223. developers to output the process of an ongoing process into a new
  1224. window/buffer.
  1225. You can tell Org Babel to output the process of a running code block.
  1226. To show that output you only have to specify the =:show-process=
  1227. option in the code block's header like this:
  1228. #+begin_example
  1229. ,#+BEGIN_SRC clojure :results output :show-process t
  1230. (dotimes [n 10]
  1231. (println n ".")
  1232. (Thread/sleep 500))
  1233. ,#+END_SRC
  1234. #+end_example
  1235. If =:show-process= is specified that way, then when you will run the
  1236. code using =C-c C-c= a new window will open in Emacs. Everything that
  1237. is output by the REPL will immediately be added to that new window.
  1238. When the processing of the code is finished, then the window and its
  1239. buffer will be closed and the results will be reported in the
  1240. =#+RESULTS= section.
  1241. Note that the =:results= parameter's behavior is *not* changed. If
  1242. =silent= is specified, then no result will be displayed. If =output=
  1243. is specified then all the output from the window will appears in the
  1244. results section. If =value= is specified, then only the last returned
  1245. value of the code will be displayed in the results section.
  1246. **** Maxima: new headers ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~
  1247. Babel options ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~ have been implemented for
  1248. Maxima source blocks which prepend and append, respectively, the given
  1249. code strings. This can be useful for specifying formatting settings
  1250. which would add clutter to exported code. For instance, you can use
  1251. this ~:prologue "fpprintprec: 2; linel: 50;"~ for presenting Maxima
  1252. results in a beamer presentation.
  1253. **** PlantUML: add support for header arguments
  1254. [[http://plantuml.com/][Plantuml]] source blocks now support the [[https://orgmode.org/manual/prologue.html#prologue][~:prologue~]], [[https://orgmode.org/manual/epilogue.html#epilogue][~:epilogue~]] and
  1255. [[https://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] header arguments.
  1256. **** SQL: new engine added ~sqsh~
  1257. A new engine was added to support ~sqsh~ command line utility for use
  1258. against Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase SQL server.
  1259. More information on ~sqsh~ can be found here: [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/sqsh/][sourceforge/sqsh]]
  1260. To use ~sqsh~ in an *sql* =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  1261. #+begin_example
  1262. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine sqsh :dbhost my_host :dbuser master :dbpassword pass :database support
  1263. Select * From Users
  1264. Where clue > 0
  1265. ,#+END_SRC
  1266. #+end_example
  1267. **** SQL: new engine added =vertica=
  1268. A new engine was added to support vsql command line utility for use
  1269. against HP Vertica.
  1270. More information on =vsql= can be found here: [[https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.2.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/ConnectingToHPVertica/vsql/UsingVsql.htm][my.vertica.com]]
  1271. To use =vertica= in an sql =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  1272. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1273. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine vertica :dbhost my_host :dbuser dbadmin :dbpassword pw :database vmart
  1274. SELECT * FROM nodes;
  1275. ,#+END_SRC
  1276. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1277. **** C++: New header ~:namespaces~
  1278. The new ~:namespaces~ export option can be used to specify namespaces
  1279. to be used within a C++ org source block. Its usage is similar to
  1280. ~:includes~, in that it can accept multiple, space-separated
  1281. namespaces to use. This header is equivalent to adding ~using
  1282. namespace <name>;~ in the source block. Here is a "Hello World" in C++
  1283. using ~:namespaces~:
  1284. #+begin_example
  1285. ,#+BEGIN_SRC C++ :results output :namespaces std :includes <iostream>
  1286. cout << "Hello World" << endl;
  1287. ,#+END_SRC
  1288. #+end_example
  1289. **** Support for Vala language
  1290. [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala][Vala]] language blocks support two special header arguments:
  1291. - ~:flags~ passes arguments to the compiler
  1292. - ~:cmdline~ passes commandline arguments to the generated executable
  1293. Support for [[https://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] does not exist yet, also there is no [[https://orgmode.org/manual/session.html#session][~:session~]]
  1294. support because Vala is a compiled language.
  1295. The Vala compiler binary can be changed via the ~defcustom~
  1296. ~org-babel-vala-compiler~.
  1297. *** New ~function~ scope argument for the Clock Table
  1298. Added a nullary function that returns a list of files as a possible
  1299. argument for the scope of the clock table.
  1300. *** Export
  1301. **** Implement vernacular table of contents in Markdown exporter
  1302. Global table of contents are generated using vanilla Markdown syntax
  1303. instead of HTML. Also #+TOC keyword, including local table of
  1304. contents, are now supported.
  1305. **** Add Slovenian translations
  1306. **** Implement ~org-export-insert-image-links~
  1307. This new function is meant to be used in back-ends supporting images
  1308. as descriptions of links, a.k.a. image links. See its docstring for
  1309. details.
  1310. **** New macro : ~{{{n}}}~
  1311. This macro creates and increment multiple counters in a document. See
  1312. manual for details.
  1313. **** Add global macros through ~org-export-global-macros~
  1314. With this variable, one can define macros available for all documents.
  1315. **** New keyword ~#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME~
  1316. Similarly to ~:EXPORT_FILE_NAME:~ property, this keyword allows the
  1317. user to specify the name of the output file upon exporting the
  1318. document. This also has an effect on publishing.
  1319. **** Horizontal rules are no longer ignored in LaTeX table math mode
  1320. **** Use ~compilation-mode~ for compilation output
  1321. **** Plain lists accept a new ~:separator~ attribute in Texinfo
  1322. The new ~:separator~ attribute splits a tag from a description list
  1323. item into multiple parts. This allows to have two-column tables with
  1324. multiple entries in the first column. See manual for more details.
  1325. **** ~latex-environment~ elements support ~caption~ keywords for LaTeX export
  1326. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit LaTeX environments
  1327. Using ~C-c '~ on a LaTeX environment opens a sub-editing buffer. By
  1328. default, major mode in that buffer is ~latex-mode~, but it can be
  1329. changed by configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~.
  1330. *** ~org-list-to-generic~ includes a new property: ~:ifmt~
  1331. ~:ifmt~ is a function to be called on the body of each item. See
  1332. ~org-list-to-generic~ documentation for details.
  1333. *** New variable : ~org-bibtex-headline-format-function~
  1334. This allow to use a different title than entry title.
  1335. *** ~org-attach~ supports attaching files from URLs
  1336. Using ~C-c C-a u~ prompts for a URL pointing to a file to be attached
  1337. to the document.
  1338. *** New option for ~org-refile-use-outline-path~
  1339. ~org-refile-use-outline-path~ now supports the setting ~buffer-name~,
  1340. which causes refile targets to be prefixed with the buffer’s
  1341. name. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with
  1342. ~uniquify.el~.
  1343. *** ~org-file-contents~ now allows the FILE argument to be a URL.
  1344. This allows ~#+SETUPFILE:~ to accept a URL instead of a local file
  1345. path. The URL contents are auto-downloaded and saved to a temporary
  1346. cache ~org--file-cache~. A new optional argument ~NOCACHE~ is added
  1347. to ~org-file-contents~.
  1348. *** ~org-mode-restart~ now resets the newly added ~org--file-cache~.
  1349. Using ~C-c C-c~ on any keyword (like ~#+SETUPFILE~) will reset the
  1350. that file cache.
  1351. *** New option : ~org-table-duration-hour-zero-padding~
  1352. This variable allow computed durations in tables to be zero-padded.
  1353. *** New mode switch for table formulas : =U=
  1354. This mode omits seconds in durations.
  1355. ** Removed functions
  1356. *** Org Timeline
  1357. This feature has been removed. Use a custom agenda view, possibly
  1358. narrowed to current buffer to achieve a similar functionality.
  1359. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  1360. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  1361. *** ~org-agenda-skip-subtree-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  1362. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  1363. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches-in-subtree~ is obsolete
  1364. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  1365. *** ~org-minutes-to-clocksum-string~ is obsolete
  1366. Use ~org-duration-from-minutes~ instead.
  1367. *** ~org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  1368. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  1369. *** ~org-duration-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  1370. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  1371. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-cached-article-number~ is removed.
  1372. This function relied on ~nnimap-group-overview-filename~, which was
  1373. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  1374. ** Removed options
  1375. *** ~org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all~ is removed.
  1376. For an equivalent to a =nil= value, set
  1377. ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~ to nil and
  1378. ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~ to =t=.
  1379. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-query-article-no-from-file~ is removed.
  1380. This variable has no effect, as it was relying on a function that was
  1381. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  1382. *** ~org-usenet-links-prefer-google~ is obsolete.
  1383. Use ~org-gnus-prefer-web-links~ instead.
  1384. *** ~org-publish-sitemap-file-entry-format~ is deprecated
  1385. One can provide new ~:sitemap-format-entry~ property for a function
  1386. equivalent to the removed format string.
  1387. *** ~org-enable-table-editor~ is removed.
  1388. Setting it to a =nil= value broke some other features (e.g., speed
  1389. keys).
  1390. *** ~org-export-use-babel~ cannot be set to ~inline-only~
  1391. The variable is now a boolean.
  1392. *** ~org-texinfo-def-table-markup~ is obsolete
  1393. Use ~org-texinfo-table-default-markup~ instead.
  1394. ** New functions
  1395. *** ~org-publish-find-property~
  1396. This function can be used as a tool to format entries in a site-map,
  1397. in addition to ~org-publish-find-title~ and ~org-publish-find-date~.
  1398. *** ~org-list-to-org~
  1399. It is the reciprocal of ~org-list-to-lisp~, which see.
  1400. *** ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  1401. Call ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock~ from the agenda.
  1402. ** Miscellaneous
  1403. *** The Library of Babel now on Worg
  1404. The library-of-babel.org used to be accessible from the =doc/=
  1405. directory, distributed with Org’s core. It is now accessible
  1406. from the Worg community-driven documentation [[https://orgmode.org/worg/library-of-babel.html][here]].
  1407. If you want to contribute to it, please see [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html][how to contribute]].
  1408. *** Allow multiple columns view
  1409. Columns view is not limited to a single buffer anymore.
  1410. *** Org Attach obeys ~dired-dwim-target~
  1411. When a Dired buffer is opened next to the Org document being edited,
  1412. the prompt for file to attach can start in the Dired buffer's
  1413. directory if `dired-dwim-target' in non-nil.
  1414. *** ~org-fill-paragraph~ can now fill a whole region
  1415. *** More specific anniversary descriptions
  1416. Anniversary descriptions (used in the agenda view, for instance)
  1417. include the point in time, when the anniversary appears. This is,
  1418. in its most general form, just the date of the anniversary. Or
  1419. more specific terms, like "today", "tomorrow" or "in n days" are
  1420. used to describe the time span.
  1421. This feature allows to automatically change the description of an
  1422. anniversary, depending on if it occurs in the next few days or
  1423. far away in the future.
  1424. *** Computed dates in tables appear as inactive time stamps
  1425. *** Save point before opening a file with an unknown search option
  1426. When following a file link with a search option (e.g., =::#custom-id=)
  1427. that doesn't exist in the target file, save position before raising an
  1428. error. As a consequence, it is possible to jump back to the original
  1429. document with ~org-mark-ring-goto~ (default binding =C-c &=).
  1430. *** ~org-get-heading~ accepts two more optional arguments
  1431. See docstring for details.
  1432. *** New option ~org-babel-uppercase-example-markers~
  1433. This variable is a ~defcustom~ and replaces the variable
  1434. ~org-babel-capitalize-example-region-markers~, which is a ~defvar~ and
  1435. is now obsolete.
  1436. *** =INCLUDE= keywords in commented trees are now ignored.
  1437. *** Default value for ~org-texinfo-text-markup-alist~ changed.
  1438. Now ~=...=~ markup uses ~@samp{}~ instead of ~@verb{}~. You can use
  1439. ~@verb{}~ again by customizing the variable.
  1440. *** Texinfo exports example blocks as ~@example~
  1441. *** Texinfo exports inline source blocks as ~@code{}~
  1442. *** Texinfo default table markup is ~@asis~
  1443. It used to be ~@samp~ but ~@asis~ is neutral and, therefore, more
  1444. suitable as a default value.
  1445. *** Texinfo default process includes ~--no-split~ option
  1446. *** New entities : ~\dollar~ and ~\USD~
  1447. *** Support for date style URLs in =org-protocol://open-source=
  1448. URLs like =https://cool-blog.com/2017/05/20/cool-post/= are covered by
  1449. rewrite rules.
  1450. *** Add (C) =COMMENT= support to ~org-structure-template-alist~
  1451. * Version 9.0
  1452. ** Incompatible changes
  1453. *** Emacs 23 support has been dropped
  1454. From now on, Org expects at least Emacs 24.3, although Emacs 24.4 or
  1455. above is suggested.
  1456. *** XEmacs support has been dropped
  1457. Incomplete compatibility layer with XEmacs has been removed. If you
  1458. want to take over maintenance of this compatibility, please contact
  1459. our mailing list.
  1460. *** New syntax for export blocks
  1461. Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
  1462. disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
  1463. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1464. ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
  1465. ...
  1466. ,#+END_EXPORT
  1467. #+END_SRC
  1468. instead of
  1469. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1470. ,#+BEGIN_backend
  1471. ...
  1472. ,#+END_backend
  1473. #+END_SRC
  1474. As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
  1475. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1476. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
  1477. #+END_SRC
  1478. becomes
  1479. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1480. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
  1481. #+END_SRC
  1482. The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
  1483. using previous syntax:
  1484. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1485. (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
  1486. "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
  1487. (interactive)
  1488. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  1489. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  1490. (back-end-re (regexp-opt
  1491. '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
  1492. "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
  1493. t)))
  1494. (org-with-wide-buffer
  1495. (goto-char (point-min))
  1496. (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
  1497. (save-excursion
  1498. (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
  1499. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  1500. (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
  1501. (save-excursion
  1502. (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
  1503. (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
  1504. (forward-char)
  1505. (insert "EXPORT")
  1506. (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
  1507. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
  1508. (let ((include-re
  1509. (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
  1510. (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
  1511. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  1512. (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
  1513. (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
  1514. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
  1515. #+END_SRC
  1516. Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~ and
  1517. ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to be
  1518. removed.
  1519. *** Footnotes changes
  1520. **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
  1521. Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
  1522. it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
  1523. constructs are now unsupported.
  1524. If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them into
  1525. =[fn:N]=.
  1526. **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
  1527. Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
  1528. something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
  1529. consider using the =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
  1530. In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
  1531. exists.
  1532. *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
  1533. The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
  1534. S-expressions. Replacing an S-expression with an appropriate function
  1535. is straightforward. For example
  1536. : ("pdf" . (foo))
  1537. becomes
  1538. : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
  1539. *** The ~{{{modification-time}}}~ macro can get time via =vc=
  1540. The modification time will be determined via =vc.el= if the second
  1541. argument is non-nil. See the manual for details.
  1542. *** Preparation and completion functions in publishing projects change signature
  1543. Preparation and completion functions are now called with an argument,
  1544. which is the project property list. It used to be dynamically scoped
  1545. through the ~project-plist~ variable.
  1546. *** Old Babel header properties are no longer supported
  1547. Using header arguments as property names is no longer possible. As
  1548. such, the following
  1549. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1550. ,* Headline
  1551. :PROPERTIES:
  1552. :exports: code
  1553. :var: a=1 b=2
  1554. :var+: c=3
  1555. :END:
  1556. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1557. should be written instead
  1558. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1559. ,* Headline
  1560. :PROPERTIES:
  1561. :header-args: :exports code
  1562. :header-args+: :var a=1 b=2
  1563. :header-args+: :var c=3
  1564. :END:
  1565. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1566. Please note that, however, old properties were defined at the source
  1567. block definition. Current ones are defined where the block is called.
  1568. ** New features
  1569. *** ~org-eww~ has been moved into core
  1570. *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
  1571. Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
  1572. #+begin_example
  1573. org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
  1574. org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
  1575. #+end_example
  1576. Old-style links such as
  1577. : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
  1578. continue to be supported.
  1579. If you have defined your own handler functions for
  1580. ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
  1581. list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
  1582. ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into property
  1583. lists.
  1584. *** New Org linter library
  1585. ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
  1586. *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
  1587. When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
  1588. entries are added to last in the date tree.
  1589. *** New ~vbar~ entity
  1590. ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionally as a =|=,
  1591. unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~&vert;~ when using
  1592. a HTML derived export back-end.
  1593. *** Export
  1594. **** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
  1595. PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
  1596. details.
  1597. **** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
  1598. This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
  1599. a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
  1600. **** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
  1601. Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
  1602. string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
  1603. position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
  1604. for more details.
  1605. **** New Texinfo ~options~ attribute on special blocks
  1606. Using ~:options~ as a Texinfo attribute, it is possible to add
  1607. information to custom environments. See manual for details.
  1608. **** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
  1609. If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
  1610. will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
  1611. enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
  1612. ~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
  1613. **** Listings with captions are now numbered in HTML export
  1614. The class associated to the numbering is "listing-number". If you
  1615. don't want these blocks to be numbered, as it was the case until now,
  1616. You may want to add ~.listing-number { display: none; }~ to the CSS
  1617. used.
  1618. **** Line Numbering in SRC/EXAMPLE blocks support arbitrary start number
  1619. The ~-n~ option to ~SRC~ and ~EXAMPLE~ blocks can now take a numeric
  1620. argument to specify the staring line number for the source or example
  1621. block. The ~+n~ option can now take a numeric argument that will be
  1622. added to the last line number from the previous block as the starting
  1623. point for the SRC/EXAMPLE block.
  1624. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1625. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp -n 20
  1626. ;; this will export with line number 20
  1627. (message "This is line 21")
  1628. ,#+END_SRC
  1629. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp +n 10
  1630. ;; This will be listed as line 31
  1631. (message "This is line 32")
  1632. ,#+END_SRC
  1633. #+END_SRC
  1634. **** Allow toggling center for images in LaTeX export
  1635. With the global variable ~org-latex-images-centered~ or the local
  1636. attribute ~:center~ it is now possible to center an image in LaTeX
  1637. export.
  1638. **** Default CSS class ~org-svg~ for SVG images in HTML export
  1639. SVG images exported in HTML are now by default assigned a CSS class
  1640. ~org-svg~ if no CSS class is specified with the ~:class~ attribute. By
  1641. default, the CSS styling of class ~org-svg~ specifies an image width of
  1642. 90\thinsp{}% of the container the image.
  1643. **** Markdown footnote export customization
  1644. Variables ~org-md-footnotes-section~ and ~org-md-footnote-format~
  1645. introduced for =ox-md.el=. Both new variables define template strings
  1646. which can be used to customize the format of the exported footnotes
  1647. section and individual footnotes, respectively.
  1648. *** Babel
  1649. **** Blocks with coderefs labels can now be evaluated
  1650. The labels are removed prior to evaluating the block.
  1651. **** Support for Lua language
  1652. **** Support for SLY in Lisp blocks
  1653. See ~org-babel-lisp-eval-fn~ to activate it.
  1654. **** Support for Stan language
  1655. New ob-stan.el library.
  1656. Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
  1657. 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
  1658. This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
  1659. allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
  1660. 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
  1661. This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
  1662. ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
  1663. that does not end in ".stan".
  1664. For more information and usage examples, visit
  1665. https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
  1666. **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
  1667. =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
  1668. database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
  1669. mandatory):
  1670. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1671. :engine oracle
  1672. :dbhost <host.com>
  1673. :dbport <1521>
  1674. :dbuser <username>
  1675. :database <database>
  1676. :dbpassword <secret>
  1677. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1678. **** Improved support to Microsoft SQL Server via ~sqlcmd~
  1679. =ob-sql= library removes support to the ~msosql~ engine which uses the
  1680. deprecated ~osql~ command line tool, and replaces it with ~mssql~
  1681. engine which uses the ~sqlcmd~ command line tool. Use with properties
  1682. like this:
  1683. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1684. :engine mssql
  1685. :dbhost <host.com>
  1686. :dbuser <username>
  1687. :dbpassword <secret>
  1688. :database <database>
  1689. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1690. If you want to use the *trusted connection* feature, omit *both* the
  1691. =dbuser= and =dbpassword= properties and add =cmdline -E= to the properties.
  1692. If your Emacs is running in a Cygwin environment, the =ob-sql= library
  1693. can pass the converted path to the =sqlcmd= tool.
  1694. **** Improved support of header arguments for postgresql
  1695. The postgresql engine in a sql code block supports now ~:dbport~ nd
  1696. ~:dbpassword~ as header arguments.
  1697. **** Support for additional plantuml output formats
  1698. The support for output formats of [[http://plantuml.com/][plantuml]] has been extended to now
  1699. include:
  1700. All Diagrams:
  1701. - png ::
  1702. - svg ::
  1703. - eps ::
  1704. - pdf ::
  1705. - vdx ::
  1706. - txt :: ASCII art
  1707. - utxt :: ASCII art using unicode characters
  1708. Class Diagrams:
  1709. - xmi ::
  1710. - html ::
  1711. State Diagrams:
  1712. - scxml ::
  1713. The output formats are determined by the file extension specified
  1714. using the :file property, e.g.:
  1715. #+begin_src plantuml :file diagram.png
  1716. @startuml
  1717. Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
  1718. Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
  1719. Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
  1720. Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
  1721. @enduml
  1722. #+end_src
  1723. Please note that *pdf* *does not work out of the box* and needs additional
  1724. setup in addition to plantuml. See [[http://plantuml.com/pdf.html]] for
  1725. details and setup information.
  1726. *** Rewrite of radio lists
  1727. Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
  1728. rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
  1729. parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
  1730. for details.
  1731. *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
  1732. Used like ~org-bbdb-anniversaries~, it provides a few days warning for
  1733. upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
  1734. *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
  1735. If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
  1736. information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
  1737. See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
  1738. *** Support for ISO week trees
  1739. ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
  1740. by ISO week and not by month.
  1741. For example:
  1742. : * 2015
  1743. : ** 2015-W35
  1744. : ** 2015-W36
  1745. : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
  1746. They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
  1747. ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
  1748. *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
  1749. When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
  1750. an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
  1751. On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
  1752. *** Columns view
  1753. **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
  1754. When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
  1755. buffer unconditionally.
  1756. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
  1757. The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
  1758. **** Allow custom summaries
  1759. It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
  1760. provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
  1761. **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
  1762. Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
  1763. types.
  1764. *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
  1765. *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
  1766. When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
  1767. a git repository.
  1768. *** Allow conditional case-fold searches in ~org-occur~
  1769. When set to ~smart~, the new variable ~org-occur-case-fold-search~ allows
  1770. to mimic =isearch.el=: if the regexp searched contains any upper case
  1771. character (or character class), the search is case sensitive.
  1772. Otherwise, it is case insensitive.
  1773. *** More robust repeated =ox-latex= footnote handling
  1774. Repeated footnotes are now numbered by referring to a label in the
  1775. first footnote.
  1776. *** The ~org-block~ face is inherited by ~src-blocks~
  1777. This works also when =org-src-fontify-natively= is non-nil. It is also
  1778. possible to specify per-languages faces. See =org-src-block-faces= and
  1779. the manual for details.
  1780. *** Links are now customizable
  1781. Links can now have custom colors, tooltips, keymaps, display behavior,
  1782. etc. Links are now centralized in ~org-link-parameters~.
  1783. ** New functions
  1784. *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
  1785. It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
  1786. *** ~org-show-children~
  1787. It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
  1788. ** Removed functions
  1789. *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
  1790. Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
  1791. *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
  1792. Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
  1793. *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
  1794. Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
  1795. *** ~org-babel-trim~ is deprecated.
  1796. Use ~org-trim~ instead.
  1797. *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
  1798. Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
  1799. *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
  1800. Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
  1801. The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
  1802. *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
  1803. Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
  1804. *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
  1805. A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
  1806. now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
  1807. *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
  1808. Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
  1809. *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
  1810. It was not called by any org code since 2010.
  1811. *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
  1812. The affected functions are:
  1813. - ~org-count~
  1814. - ~org-remove-if~
  1815. - ~org-remove-if-not~
  1816. - ~org-reduce~
  1817. - ~org-every~
  1818. - ~org-some~
  1819. Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
  1820. the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
  1821. end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
  1822. ** Removed options
  1823. *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
  1824. This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
  1825. Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
  1826. let those libraries operate.
  1827. *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
  1828. Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
  1829. plain list.
  1830. *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  1831. fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
  1832. ** Miscellaneous
  1833. *** Add Icelandic smart quotes
  1834. *** Allow multiple receiver locations in radio tables and lists
  1835. *** Allow angular links within link descriptions
  1836. It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
  1837. ~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
  1838. ~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
  1839. is that spaces are allowed within the path.
  1840. *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  1841. *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
  1842. Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
  1843. current project. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
  1844. Org files.
  1845. *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
  1846. The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
  1847. indentation.
  1848. *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
  1849. Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
  1850. However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
  1851. the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
  1852. placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
  1853. very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
  1854. Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
  1855. template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
  1856. expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
  1857. another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
  1858. *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
  1859. Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
  1860. to the article's original group.
  1861. *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
  1862. The calling convention has changed.
  1863. *** HTML export table row customization changes
  1864. Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
  1865. ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
  1866. Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
  1867. called with 6 parameters.
  1868. *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
  1869. *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
  1870. The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
  1871. *** ~org-trim~ can preserve leading indentation.
  1872. When setting a new optional argument to a non-nil value, ~org-trim~
  1873. preserves leading indentation while removing blank lines at the
  1874. beginning of the string. The behavior is identical for white space at
  1875. the end of the string.
  1876. *** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
  1877. HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
  1878. than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
  1879. Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
  1880. : <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  1881. where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
  1882. For most folks this file does not exist.
  1883. Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
  1884. : <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  1885. All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other
  1886. =gnu.org= manuals.
  1887. *** Repeaters with a ~++~ interval and a time can be shifted to later today
  1888. Previously, if a recurring task had a timestamp of
  1889. ~<2016-01-01 Fri 20:00 ++1d>~ and was completed on =2016-01-02= at
  1890. =08:00=, the task would skip =2016-01-02= and would be rescheduled for
  1891. =2016-01-03=. Timestamps with ~++~ cookies and a specific time will
  1892. now shift to the first possible future occurrence, even if the
  1893. occurrence is later the same day the task is completed. (Timestamps
  1894. already in the future are still shifted one time further into the
  1895. future.)
  1896. *** ~org-mobile-action-alist~ is now a defconst
  1897. It used to be a defcustom, with a warning that it shouldn't be
  1898. modified anyway.
  1899. *** ~file+emacs~ and ~file+sys~ link types are deprecated
  1900. They are still supported in Org 9.0 but will eventually be removed in
  1901. a later release. Use ~file~ link type along with universal arguments
  1902. to force opening it in either Emacs or with system application.
  1903. *** New defcustom ~org-babel-J-command~ stores the j command
  1904. *** New defalias ~org-babel-execute:j~
  1905. Allows J source blocks be indicated by letter j. Previously the
  1906. indication letter was solely J.
  1907. *** ~org-open-line~ ignores tables at the very beginning of the buffer
  1908. When ~org-special-ctrl-o~ is non-nil, it is impractical to create
  1909. a blank line above a table at the beginning of the document. Now, as
  1910. a special case, ~org-open-line~ behaves normally in this situation.
  1911. *** ~org-babel-hash-show-time~ is now customizable
  1912. The experimental variable used to be more or less confidential, as
  1913. a ~defvar~.
  1914. *** New ~:format~ property to parsed links
  1915. It defines the format of the original link. Possible values are:
  1916. ~plain~, ~bracket~ and ~angle~.
  1917. * Version 8.3
  1918. ** Incompatible changes
  1919. *** Properties drawers syntax changes
  1920. Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
  1921. headline and its planning line, when applicable.
  1922. It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
  1923. logged before the property drawer.
  1924. The following function will repair them:
  1925. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1926. (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
  1927. "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
  1928. Ignore non Org buffers."
  1929. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  1930. (org-with-wide-buffer
  1931. (goto-char (point-min))
  1932. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  1933. (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
  1934. (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
  1935. "END[ \t]*$"))))
  1936. (org-map-entries
  1937. (lambda ()
  1938. (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
  1939. (save-excursion
  1940. (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
  1941. (forward-line)
  1942. (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
  1943. (when (and (< (point) end)
  1944. (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
  1945. (save-excursion
  1946. (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
  1947. (eq (org-element-type
  1948. (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
  1949. 'drawer))))
  1950. (insert (delete-and-extract-region
  1951. (match-beginning 0)
  1952. (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
  1953. (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
  1954. #+END_SRC
  1955. *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
  1956. If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
  1957. exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
  1958. is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
  1959. into account when exporting.
  1960. If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
  1961. for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
  1962. *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
  1963. It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
  1964. the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
  1965. 5.14 (2008).
  1966. =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
  1967. properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
  1968. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1969. ,* Headline
  1970. :PROPERTIES:
  1971. :CATEGORY: some category
  1972. :END:
  1973. #+END_SRC
  1974. *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
  1975. ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
  1976. and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
  1977. controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
  1978. see.
  1979. *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
  1980. ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
  1981. version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
  1982. Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
  1983. ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
  1984. *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
  1985. Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
  1986. buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
  1987. *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
  1988. The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
  1989. ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~
  1990. respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
  1991. functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
  1992. (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
  1993. *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
  1994. ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
  1995. =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
  1996. *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
  1997. If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
  1998. org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
  1999. org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
  2000. *** Functions signature changes
  2001. The following functions require an additional argument. See their
  2002. docstring for more information.
  2003. - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
  2004. - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
  2005. - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
  2006. - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
  2007. - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
  2008. - ~org-link-search~
  2009. ** New features
  2010. *** Default lexical evaluation of emacs-lisp source blocks
  2011. Emacs-lisp source blocks in Babel are now evaluated using lexical
  2012. scoping. There is a new header to control this behavior.
  2013. The default results in an eval with lexical scoping.
  2014. :lexical yes
  2015. This turns lexical scoping off in the eval (the former behavior).
  2016. :lexical no
  2017. This uses the lexical environment with x=42 in the eval.
  2018. :lexical '((x . 42))
  2019. *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
  2020. If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
  2021. without changing the headline.
  2022. *** Hierarchies of tags
  2023. The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to Org mode.
  2024. This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
  2025. in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
  2026. The following in-buffer definition:
  2027. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  2028. ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
  2029. ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
  2030. ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
  2031. #+END_SRC
  2032. Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
  2033. - Group
  2034. - SubOne
  2035. - SubOne1
  2036. - SubOne2
  2037. - SubTwo
  2038. - SubTwo1
  2039. - SubTwo2
  2040. Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
  2041. on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
  2042. There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
  2043. *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
  2044. Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
  2045. don't have to be distinct on a heading.
  2046. Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
  2047. already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
  2048. non-exclusive syntax. This behavior is achieved with [ ]. Note: { }
  2049. can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the given
  2050. tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
  2051. [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
  2052. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  2053. ,* Test :sub1:sub2:
  2054. #+END_SRC
  2055. This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
  2056. grouptags; { }.
  2057. *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
  2058. Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
  2059. "sub-tags".
  2060. The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
  2061. Example use:
  2062. : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
  2063. Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
  2064. regular expression matches for P@.+. This is good for example for
  2065. projects tagged with a common identifier, i.e. P@2014_OrgTags.
  2066. *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
  2067. Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filters all of the related tags.
  2068. Except if a filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
  2069. Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
  2070. levels anymore.
  2071. If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
  2072. is also used as a filter.
  2073. *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
  2074. Now uses the argument ARG and optional argument exclude instead of
  2075. strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
  2076. makes more sense than strip now. The term "narrowing" is changed to
  2077. exclude.
  2078. The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
  2079. filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
  2080. *** Babel: support for sed scripts
  2081. Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
  2082. *** Babel: support for Processing language
  2083. New ob-processing.el library.
  2084. This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
  2085. of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
  2086. external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
  2087. Check the documentation for more details.
  2088. Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
  2089. *** New behavior for ~org-toggle-latex-fragment~
  2090. The new behavior is the following:
  2091. - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument when
  2092. point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the whole
  2093. buffer;
  2094. - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
  2095. subtree;
  2096. - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
  2097. - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
  2098. *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  2099. The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
  2100. instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
  2101. *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  2102. Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
  2103. possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
  2104. more information.
  2105. *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
  2106. One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
  2107. which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
  2108. ~org-drawers~ variable.
  2109. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
  2110. Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
  2111. mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
  2112. "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
  2113. configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
  2114. *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
  2115. If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
  2116. argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
  2117. representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
  2118. default is =hline=.
  2119. *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
  2120. For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch in
  2121. a source block.
  2122. *** New option in ASCII export
  2123. Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting ~org-ascii-list-margin~
  2124. variable to an appropriate integer.
  2125. *** New blocks in ASCII export
  2126. ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT=
  2127. blocks. See documentation for details.
  2128. *** More back-end specific publishing options
  2129. The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
  2130. increased. See manual for details.
  2131. *** Export inline source blocks
  2132. Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
  2133. now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
  2134. in the output, depending on the parameters.
  2135. *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
  2136. These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
  2137. *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
  2138. *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
  2139. *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
  2140. This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
  2141. more features. See docstring for details.
  2142. *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
  2143. *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
  2144. Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
  2145. document, before wrapping it within the template.
  2146. *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
  2147. : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
  2148. : #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  2149. : This sentence is false.
  2150. : #+END_EXAMPLE
  2151. will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
  2152. *** Various improvements on radio tables
  2153. Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
  2154. ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
  2155. parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are new
  2156. parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
  2157. ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
  2158. docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
  2159. *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
  2160. It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction
  2161. with source blocks exported by the minted package.
  2162. *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
  2163. Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
  2164. would throw an error. A new variable ~org-table-formula-create-columns~
  2165. was added to adjust this behavior. It is now possible to silently add
  2166. new columns, to do so with a warning or to explicitly ask the user
  2167. each time.
  2168. *** ASCII plot
  2169. Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
  2170. for details.
  2171. *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
  2172. This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
  2173. on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
  2174. *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
  2175. When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
  2176. *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
  2177. This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is now
  2178. deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
  2179. special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
  2180. *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  2181. See the docstring for more information.
  2182. *** Export unnumbered headlines
  2183. Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
  2184. exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
  2185. property is inherited by children.
  2186. *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
  2187. It is now possible to specify a function, both programmatically,
  2188. through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~ keys,
  2189. to sort a table.
  2190. *** Table of contents can be local to a section
  2191. The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See manual
  2192. for details.
  2193. *** Countdown timers can now be paused
  2194. ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
  2195. countdown timers.
  2196. *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
  2197. When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
  2198. displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
  2199. *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
  2200. It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
  2201. ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
  2202. *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
  2203. It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
  2204. ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
  2205. manual for details.
  2206. *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
  2207. It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
  2208. title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
  2209. *** New entities family: "\_ "
  2210. "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
  2211. back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
  2212. leading spaces within table cells.
  2213. *** New MathJax configuration options
  2214. Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
  2215. of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
  2216. *** New behavior in `org-export-options-alist'
  2217. When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
  2218. `parse' behavior on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
  2219. `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
  2220. However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
  2221. =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
  2222. value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
  2223. keywords and properties.
  2224. *** Viewport support in html export
  2225. Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
  2226. when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
  2227. *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
  2228. Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
  2229. for details.
  2230. *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
  2231. Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
  2232. allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in a
  2233. dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
  2234. *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
  2235. Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
  2236. added to headline text.
  2237. *** Support for images in Texinfo export
  2238. ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See the manual for details.
  2239. *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
  2240. Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
  2241. of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
  2242. =#+TOC= keyword.
  2243. *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
  2244. In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
  2245. set using the hh:mm:ss format.
  2246. *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
  2247. ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for the
  2248. number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original subtree
  2249. and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
  2250. *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
  2251. It encompasses all past closed clocks.
  2252. *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
  2253. See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
  2254. ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
  2255. *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
  2256. *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
  2257. ** Removed functions
  2258. *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
  2259. Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
  2260. *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
  2261. This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
  2262. current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
  2263. it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
  2264. accessible from the export dispatcher.
  2265. *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
  2266. ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
  2267. *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
  2268. This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
  2269. references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
  2270. *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
  2271. The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
  2272. optional argument.
  2273. *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
  2274. These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
  2275. anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
  2276. ** Removed options
  2277. *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
  2278. It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
  2279. compatibility.
  2280. If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
  2281. two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
  2282. *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
  2283. Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
  2284. body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
  2285. document instead.
  2286. *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
  2287. Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
  2288. everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
  2289. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
  2290. This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name= at
  2291. the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behavior is to use the value
  2292. of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell language is =shell=. To chose
  2293. a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind this
  2294. variable locally.
  2295. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
  2296. This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
  2297. styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
  2298. be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
  2299. compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
  2300. anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
  2301. *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
  2302. Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
  2303. would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
  2304. removed.
  2305. *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
  2306. Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
  2307. *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
  2308. This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
  2309. *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
  2310. This variable has no effect since August 2009.
  2311. *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
  2312. MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
  2313. end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
  2314. ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
  2315. ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
  2316. *** Removed comment-related filters
  2317. ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
  2318. ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
  2319. anymore.
  2320. ** Miscellaneous
  2321. *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
  2322. ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
  2323. *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
  2324. Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
  2325. =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
  2326. *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
  2327. As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
  2328. footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
  2329. labels colliding.
  2330. *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
  2331. This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
  2332. =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
  2333. *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
  2334. =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
  2335. *** Select tests to perform with the build system
  2336. The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
  2337. regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
  2338. This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
  2339. particular test failure was introduced.
  2340. *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
  2341. Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
  2342. the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as well
  2343. as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~ when
  2344. ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
  2345. *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
  2346. New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
  2347. Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
  2348. *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  2349. If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
  2350. ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~ now.
  2351. *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
  2352. This helps spotting wrong links.
  2353. * Version 8.2
  2354. ** Incompatible changes
  2355. *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
  2356. This may require two changes in user config.
  2357. 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
  2358. 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
  2359. to remove "sh" and include "shell".
  2360. *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
  2361. Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
  2362. 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
  2363. need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
  2364. Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
  2365. =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
  2366. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
  2367. with this:
  2368. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  2369. *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
  2370. Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
  2371. t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
  2372. option keywords like :html-include-style.
  2373. So you need to replace
  2374. : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
  2375. by
  2376. : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
  2377. Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
  2378. and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
  2379. *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
  2380. ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
  2381. process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
  2382. relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
  2383. Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
  2384. the other optional arguments accordingly.
  2385. *** Export back-ends are now structures
  2386. Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
  2387. communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
  2388. now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
  2389. of a symbol.
  2390. Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
  2391. ** Important bugfixes
  2392. *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
  2393. *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
  2394. *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
  2395. You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
  2396. this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
  2397. separator starting a TOTO match string.
  2398. ** New features
  2399. *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
  2400. See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
  2401. of the list.
  2402. *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
  2403. - Support SVG images
  2404. - Support for .pgf files
  2405. - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
  2406. - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
  2407. - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
  2408. replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
  2409. or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
  2410. - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
  2411. now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
  2412. *** New functions for paragraph motion
  2413. The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
  2414. that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
  2415. in a paragraph-like way.
  2416. *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  2417. Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
  2418. dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
  2419. leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
  2420. preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
  2421. check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
  2422. *** Anonymous export back-ends
  2423. ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
  2424. which can then be passed to export functions like
  2425. ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
  2426. It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
  2427. registering a new back-end.
  2428. *** New agenda fortnight view
  2429. The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
  2430. views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
  2431. ** New options
  2432. *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
  2433. This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
  2434. *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
  2435. This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
  2436. See https://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
  2437. *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
  2438. This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
  2439. the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
  2440. Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
  2441. allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
  2442. library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
  2443. so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
  2444. t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
  2445. of =ox-rss.el=.
  2446. *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
  2447. This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
  2448. *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
  2449. This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
  2450. *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
  2451. See [[https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
  2452. *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
  2453. If you set this to the following
  2454. : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
  2455. then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
  2456. *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
  2457. This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
  2458. =C-o= in tables.
  2459. ** New contributed packages
  2460. - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
  2461. export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
  2462. software.
  2463. - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
  2464. screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
  2465. ** Miscellaneous
  2466. *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
  2467. "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
  2468. starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
  2469. a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
  2470. the same with example blocks.
  2471. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
  2472. release.
  2473. * Version 8.0.1
  2474. ** Installation
  2475. Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
  2476. If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
  2477. instructions:
  2478. - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
  2479. =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
  2480. customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
  2481. - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
  2482. correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
  2483. only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
  2484. the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
  2485. detailed explanations.
  2486. - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
  2487. you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
  2488. function has been called already.
  2489. When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
  2490. installation.
  2491. See https://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
  2492. ** Incompatible changes
  2493. Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
  2494. If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
  2495. If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
  2496. you will have to update them.
  2497. Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
  2498. See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
  2499. this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
  2500. **** New export engine
  2501. Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
  2502. export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
  2503. already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
  2504. /all/ export back-ends.
  2505. The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
  2506. keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
  2507. built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
  2508. directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
  2509. [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
  2510. More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
  2511. corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
  2512. If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
  2513. rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
  2514. option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
  2515. manual for details and check [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
  2516. **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
  2517. : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
  2518. should now be written
  2519. : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
  2520. Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
  2521. respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
  2522. each backend. See Org's manual for details.
  2523. **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
  2524. You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
  2525. Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
  2526. now fully removed.
  2527. Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
  2528. remember templates into capture templates.
  2529. **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
  2530. If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
  2531. will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
  2532. **** Note for third-party developers
  2533. The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
  2534. prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
  2535. files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
  2536. If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
  2537. code.
  2538. **** Packages moved from core to contrib
  2539. Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
  2540. to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
  2541. moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
  2542. The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
  2543. is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
  2544. included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
  2545. user-base.
  2546. - org-colview-xemacs.el
  2547. - org-mac-message.el
  2548. - org-mew.el
  2549. - org-wl.el
  2550. - ox-freedmind.el
  2551. - ox-taskjuggler.el
  2552. Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
  2553. ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
  2554. ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
  2555. Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
  2556. wrote [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
  2557. ** New packages in core
  2558. *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
  2559. =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
  2560. *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
  2561. =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
  2562. *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
  2563. =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
  2564. vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
  2565. *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
  2566. =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
  2567. ** New packages in contrib
  2568. *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
  2569. [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
  2570. =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
  2571. code.
  2572. *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
  2573. [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
  2574. software, written entirely in the C programming language.
  2575. ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
  2576. entries.
  2577. *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
  2578. ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
  2579. *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
  2580. Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
  2581. Also see [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
  2582. for starting headlines.
  2583. *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
  2584. ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
  2585. locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
  2586. the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
  2587. [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
  2588. *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
  2589. ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
  2590. *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
  2591. [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
  2592. presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  2593. using =deck.js=.
  2594. [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
  2595. presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  2596. using =s5=.
  2597. *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
  2598. The [[https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
  2599. plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
  2600. output.
  2601. Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
  2602. conversion from Org files to groff.
  2603. *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
  2604. This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
  2605. *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
  2606. This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
  2607. with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
  2608. entirely with Org.
  2609. ** New features
  2610. *** Export
  2611. **** New export generic options
  2612. If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
  2613. it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
  2614. Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
  2615. - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
  2616. =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
  2617. You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
  2618. file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
  2619. - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
  2620. =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
  2621. now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
  2622. [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
  2623. new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
  2624. set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
  2625. standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
  2626. contains time-stamps.
  2627. To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
  2628. Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
  2629. the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
  2630. **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
  2631. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
  2632. **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
  2633. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
  2634. **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
  2635. **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
  2636. **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
  2637. *** Structure editing
  2638. **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
  2639. **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
  2640. [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
  2641. prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
  2642. **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
  2643. This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
  2644. would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
  2645. create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
  2646. an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
  2647. region.
  2648. **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
  2649. In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
  2650. _words__= will preserve markup.
  2651. **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
  2652. This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
  2653. is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
  2654. can slow down the flow of editing too much.
  2655. **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
  2656. These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
  2657. speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
  2658. **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
  2659. These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
  2660. now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
  2661. =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
  2662. forward and backward.
  2663. **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
  2664. **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
  2665. Now Org will sort this list
  2666. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  2667. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  2668. like this:
  2669. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  2670. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  2671. by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
  2672. Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
  2673. **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
  2674. For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
  2675. =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
  2676. states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
  2677. In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
  2678. local variable.
  2679. **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
  2680. The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
  2681. When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
  2682. time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
  2683. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
  2684. This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
  2685. restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
  2686. The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
  2687. restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
  2688. option to =nil=.
  2689. **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
  2690. When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
  2691. removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
  2692. information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
  2693. If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
  2694. TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
  2695. **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
  2696. This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
  2697. The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
  2698. fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
  2699. : #+attr_html: :width 300px
  2700. *** Scheduled/deadline
  2701. **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
  2702. If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
  2703. now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
  2704. task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
  2705. from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
  2706. Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
  2707. you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
  2708. display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
  2709. to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
  2710. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
  2711. occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
  2712. occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
  2713. and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
  2714. control this globally or per agenda.
  2715. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
  2716. See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
  2717. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
  2718. =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
  2719. *** Calendar, diary and appts
  2720. **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
  2721. By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
  2722. normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
  2723. the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
  2724. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2725. ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
  2726. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
  2727. ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
  2728. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
  2729. (kbd "@")
  2730. (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
  2731. #+END_SRC
  2732. **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
  2733. This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
  2734. appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
  2735. call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
  2736. **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
  2737. [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
  2738. in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
  2739. only show their description, not the full links.
  2740. *** Agenda
  2741. **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
  2742. When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
  2743. list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
  2744. want to build a list of appointments.
  2745. You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
  2746. each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
  2747. Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
  2748. : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
  2749. This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
  2750. time value (i.e. appointments).
  2751. **** New agenda sorting strategies
  2752. [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
  2753. | Strategy | Explanations |
  2754. |----------------+------------------------------------------|
  2755. | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
  2756. | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
  2757. | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
  2758. | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
  2759. | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
  2760. | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
  2761. | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
  2762. | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
  2763. | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
  2764. | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
  2765. **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
  2766. You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
  2767. different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
  2768. while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
  2769. These new options are available:
  2770. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
  2771. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
  2772. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
  2773. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
  2774. For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
  2775. view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
  2776. without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
  2777. When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
  2778. to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
  2779. no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
  2780. to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
  2781. show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
  2782. non-tagged headlines.
  2783. **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
  2784. You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
  2785. regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
  2786. example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
  2787. that take only =N= minutes.
  2788. **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
  2789. You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
  2790. == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
  2791. [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
  2792. **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
  2793. Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
  2794. filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
  2795. **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
  2796. You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
  2797. headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
  2798. This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
  2799. list of notes.
  2800. **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
  2801. It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
  2802. your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
  2803. =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
  2804. This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
  2805. change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
  2806. **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
  2807. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
  2808. to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
  2809. This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
  2810. **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
  2811. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
  2812. display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
  2813. outline tree.
  2814. **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
  2815. =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
  2816. overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
  2817. asks for a confirmation.
  2818. **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
  2819. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
  2820. the mark of the entry at point.
  2821. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
  2822. toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
  2823. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
  2824. This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
  2825. E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
  2826. level 1.
  2827. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
  2828. This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
  2829. options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
  2830. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
  2831. This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
  2832. entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
  2833. **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
  2834. The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
  2835. it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
  2836. [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
  2837. string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
  2838. **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  2839. When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
  2840. =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
  2841. repeated beyond the current deadline.
  2842. **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
  2843. This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
  2844. which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
  2845. prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
  2846. deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
  2847. Read the full docstring for details.
  2848. **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
  2849. For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
  2850. : * Task
  2851. : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
  2852. *** Capture
  2853. **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
  2854. With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
  2855. point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
  2856. capture template.
  2857. **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
  2858. If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
  2859. expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
  2860. **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
  2861. [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  2862. allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
  2863. be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
  2864. check against the name of the buffer.
  2865. *** Tag groups
  2866. Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
  2867. (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
  2868. headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
  2869. of those tags.)
  2870. You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
  2871. agenda views, and for filtering.
  2872. See https://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
  2873. *** Links
  2874. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
  2875. Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
  2876. other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
  2877. through new link protocols (see [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
  2878. Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
  2879. as if the protocol was not known.
  2880. You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
  2881. **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
  2882. Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
  2883. Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
  2884. RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
  2885. active.
  2886. **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
  2887. =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
  2888. description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
  2889. with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
  2890. **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
  2891. When storing a link to a headline like
  2892. : * See [[https://orgmode.org][Org website]]
  2893. [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
  2894. It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
  2895. there is no description.
  2896. *** Table
  2897. **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
  2898. If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
  2899. apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
  2900. those other formulas.
  2901. **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
  2902. If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
  2903. [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
  2904. mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
  2905. the end.
  2906. **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
  2907. If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
  2908. english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
  2909. internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
  2910. doing computation.
  2911. **** New lookup functions
  2912. There are now three lookup functions:
  2913. - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
  2914. - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
  2915. - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
  2916. See [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
  2917. *** Startup keywords
  2918. These new startup keywords are now available:
  2919. | Startup keyword | Option |
  2920. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  2921. | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
  2922. | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
  2923. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  2924. | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
  2925. | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
  2926. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  2927. | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
  2928. | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
  2929. *** Clocking
  2930. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
  2931. E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
  2932. clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
  2933. 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
  2934. your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
  2935. **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
  2936. When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
  2937. day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
  2938. for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
  2939. the clocktable.
  2940. See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
  2941. [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
  2942. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
  2943. This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
  2944. milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
  2945. **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
  2946. When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
  2947. option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
  2948. [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
  2949. **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
  2950. **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
  2951. **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
  2952. **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
  2953. **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
  2954. **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
  2955. **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
  2956. *** Babel
  2957. **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
  2958. This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
  2959. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
  2960. This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
  2961. same target than the block at point.
  2962. **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
  2963. When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
  2964. in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
  2965. file under the same directory than the base Org file.
  2966. When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
  2967. the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
  2968. time.
  2969. **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
  2970. This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
  2971. code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
  2972. manual for a usage example.
  2973. **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
  2974. If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
  2975. the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
  2976. collecting blocks for tangling.
  2977. **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
  2978. **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
  2979. Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
  2980. cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
  2981. **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
  2982. **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
  2983. When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
  2984. instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
  2985. *** Faces
  2986. - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
  2987. - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
  2988. - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
  2989. - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags
  2990. ** Miscellaneous
  2991. - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
  2992. - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
  2993. - [[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]]
  2994. - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
  2995. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  2996. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  2997. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  2998. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
  2999. - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
  3000. - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
  3001. - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
  3002. - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
  3003. - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
  3004. - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
  3005. - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
  3006. - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
  3007. - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
  3008. - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports OS X versions up to 10.8
  3009. - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
  3010. ** Outside Org
  3011. *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
  3012. David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
  3013. You can read the [[https://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
  3014. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  3015. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  3016. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  3017. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  3018. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  3019. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  3020. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  3021. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  3022. found here: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  3023. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
  3024. - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
  3025. - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
  3026. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  3027. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  3028. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  3029. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  3030. * Version 7.9.3
  3031. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  3032. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  3033. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  3034. agenda views.)
  3035. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  3036. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  3037. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  3038. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  3039. agenda type to this variable.
  3040. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  3041. generation.
  3042. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  3043. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  3044. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  3045. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  3046. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  3047. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  3048. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  3049. invisible) blocked tasks.
  3050. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  3051. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  3052. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  3053. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  3054. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  3055. ** No GPL manual anymore
  3056. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  3057. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  3058. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  3059. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  3060. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  3061. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  3062. in most environments.
  3063. * Version 7.9.2
  3064. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  3065. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  3066. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  3067. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  3068. #+END_SRC
  3069. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  3070. available through https://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  3071. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  3072. directory.)
  3073. See https://orgmode.org/elpa/
  3074. ** Overview of the new keybindings
  3075. | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |

  3090. ** New package and Babel language
  3091. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  3092. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  3093. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  3094. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  3095. ** Incompatible changes
  3096. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  3097. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  3098. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  3099. instead.
  3100. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  3101. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  3102. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  3103. ** New features and user-visible changes
  3104. *** Org Element
  3105. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  3106. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  3107. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  3108. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  3109. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  3110. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  3111. See the docstrings for more details.
  3112. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  3113. on =org-element.el=.
  3114. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  3115. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  3116. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  3117. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  3118. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  3119. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  3120. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  3121. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  3122. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  3123. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  3124. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  3125. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  3126. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  3127. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  3128. elements.
  3129. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  3130. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  3131. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  3132. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  3133. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  3134. item. Etc.
  3135. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  3136. the whole list.
  3137. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  3138. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  3139. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  3140. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  3141. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  3142. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  3143. the same level.
  3144. *** Org Agenda
  3145. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  3146. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  3147. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  3148. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  3149. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  3150. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  3151. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  3152. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  3153. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  3154. generating new ones.
  3155. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  3156. agenda buffer.
  3157. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  3158. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  3159. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  3160. to this value
  3161. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  3162. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  3163. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  3164. #+END_SRC
  3165. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  3166. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  3167. details on how to use this.
  3168. **** Changes in bulk actions
  3169. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  3170. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  3171. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  3172. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  3173. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  3174. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  3175. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  3176. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  3177. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  3178. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  3179. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  3180. =t=.
  3181. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  3182. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  3183. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  3184. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  3185. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  3186. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  3187. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  3188. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  3189. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  3190. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  3191. =f= or =w=).
  3192. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  3193. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  3194. of deadline.
  3195. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  3196. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  3197. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  3198. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  3199. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  3200. several times.
  3201. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  3202. See the [[https://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  3203. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  3204. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  3205. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  3206. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  3207. filters and category filters.
  3208. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  3209. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  3210. configuration.
  3211. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  3212. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  3213. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  3214. point.
  3215. *** Org Links
  3216. **** Inserting links
  3217. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  3218. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  3219. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  3220. want to insert.
  3221. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  3222. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  3223. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  3224. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  3225. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  3226. highlighted.
  3227. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  3228. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  3229. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  3230. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  3231. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  3232. **** New link type =help=
  3233. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  3234. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  3235. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  3236. you go back to the same buffer.
  3237. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  3238. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  3239. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  3240. =org-stored-links=.
  3241. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  3242. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  3243. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  3244. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  3245. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  3246. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  3247. *** Org Editing
  3248. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  3249. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  3250. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  3251. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  3252. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  3253. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  3254. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  3255. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  3256. all headlines in the region.
  3257. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  3258. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  3259. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  3260. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  3261. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  3262. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  3263. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  3264. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  3265. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  3266. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  3267. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  3268. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  3269. undo RET=.
  3270. *** Org Clock
  3271. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  3272. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  3273. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  3274. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  3275. clocked entry, if any.
  3276. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  3277. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  3278. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  3279. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  3280. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  3281. out.
  3282. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  3283. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  3284. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  3285. arguments).
  3286. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  3287. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  3288. in.
  3289. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  3290. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  3291. cells in clockreport.
  3292. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  3293. time cells in clockreport.
  3294. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  3295. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  3296. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  3297. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  3298. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  3299. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  3300. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  3301. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  3302. space in the frame title.
  3303. *** Org Appearance
  3304. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  3305. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  3306. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  3307. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  3308. don't want to see temporarily.
  3309. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  3310. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  3311. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  3312. There are these new entities:
  3313. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  3314. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  3315. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  3316. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  3317. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  3318. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  3319. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  3320. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  3321. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  3322. The face is back to a normal height.
  3323. *** Org Columns
  3324. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  3325. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  3326. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  3327. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  3328. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  3329. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  3330. block will use its value as the column format.
  3331. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  3332. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  3333. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  3334. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  3335. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  3336. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  3337. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  3338. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  3339. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  3340. You can now use
  3341. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  3342. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  3343. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  3344. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  3345. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  3346. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  3347. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  3348. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  3349. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  3350. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  3351. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  3352. *** Org Capture
  3353. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  3354. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  3355. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  3356. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  3357. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  3358. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  3359. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  3360. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  3361. set to this value
  3362. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  3363. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  3364. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  3365. #+END_SRC
  3366. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  3367. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  3368. more details on how to use this.
  3369. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  3370. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  3371. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  3372. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  3373. =nil=.
  3374. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  3375. See the manual for more explanations.
  3376. **** More control over empty lines
  3377. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  3378. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  3379. explanations.
  3380. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  3381. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  3382. *** Org Export
  3383. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  3384. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  3385. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  3386. available) to print beautiful tables.
  3387. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  3388. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  3389. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  3390. the table.
  3391. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  3392. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  3393. in the #+DATE option.
  3394. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  3395. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  3396. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  3397. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  3398. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  3399. More languages are always welcome.
  3400. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  3401. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  3402. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  3403. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  3404. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[https://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  3405. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  3406. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  3407. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  3408. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  3409. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  3410. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  3411. *** Org Babel
  3412. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  3413. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  3414. supported.
  3415. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  3416. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  3417. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  3418. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  3419. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  3420. It used to exports the results of the code.
  3421. *** Miscellaneous
  3422. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  3423. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  3424. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  3425. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  3426. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  3427. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  3428. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  3429. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  3430. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  3431. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  3432. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  3433. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  3434. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  3435. alarm.
  3436. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  3437. This will increment the effort value.
  3438. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  3439. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  3440. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  3441. attach symbolic links.
  3442. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  3443. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  3444. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  3445. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  3446. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  3447. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  3448. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  3449. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  3450. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  3451. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  3452. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  3453. all top level list items.
  3454. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  3455. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  3456. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  3457. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  3458. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  3459. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  3460. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  3461. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  3462. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  3463. first headline in the region.
  3464. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  3465. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  3466. agenda.
  3467. ** Important bug fixes
  3468. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  3469. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  3470. perform completion with meaningful values.
  3471. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  3472. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  3473. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  3474. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  3475. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  3476. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  3477. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  3478. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  3479. license.
  3480. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  3481. the code and the license to your needs.
  3482. See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  3483. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  3484. * Version 7.8.11
  3485. ** Incompatible changes
  3486. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  3487. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[https://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  3488. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  3489. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  3490. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  3491. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  3492. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  3493. last-minute save.
  3494. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  3495. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  3496. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  3497. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  3498. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  3499. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  3500. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  3501. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  3502. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  3503. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  3504. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  3505. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  3506. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  3507. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  3508. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  3509. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  3510. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  3511. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  3512. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  3513. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  3514. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  3515. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  3516. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  3517. #+end_src
  3518. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  3519. setup./
  3520. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  3521. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  3522. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  3523. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  3524. The two new variables are:
  3525. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  3526. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  3527. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  3528. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  3529. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  3530. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  3531. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  3532. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  3533. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  3534. classes.
  3535. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  3536. document are:
  3537. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  3538. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  3539. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  3540. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  3541. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  3542. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  3543. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  3544. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  3545. #+begin_example
  3546. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  3547. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  3548. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  3549. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  3550. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  3551. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  3552. #+end_example
  3553. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  3554. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  3555. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  3556. applies to the following packages:
  3557. - inputenc
  3558. - fontenc
  3559. - fixltx2e
  3560. - graphicx
  3561. - longtable
  3562. - float
  3563. - wrapfig
  3564. - soul
  3565. - t1enc
  3566. - textcomp
  3567. - marvosym
  3568. - wasysym
  3569. - latexsym
  3570. - amssymb
  3571. - hyperref
  3572. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  3573. you are using, you can remove it from
  3574. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  3575. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  3576. properly.
  3577. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  3578. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  3579. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  3580. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  3581. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  3582. the header.
  3583. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  3584. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  3585. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  3586. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  3587. code using it.
  3588. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  3589. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  3590. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  3591. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  3592. ** Important new features
  3593. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  3594. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  3595. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  3596. for more information on how to customize it.
  3597. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  3598. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  3599. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  3600. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  3601. section [[https://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  3602. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  3603. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  3604. [[https://orgmode.org/list/C46F10DC-DE51-43D4-AFFE-F71E440D1E1F@gmail.com][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  3605. To switch over to the new system:
  3606. 1. Run
  3607. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  3608. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  3609. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  3610. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  3611. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  3612. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  3613. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  3614. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  3615. customization.
  3616. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  3617. with org-remember:
  3618. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  3619. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  3620. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  3621. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  3622. with using both system in parallel.
  3623. ** New libraries
  3624. *** New Org libraries
  3625. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  3626. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  3627. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  3628. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  3629. To use, put the following in your init file:
  3630. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  3631. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  3632. #+END_EXAMPLE
  3633. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  3634. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  3635. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  3636. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  3637. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  3638. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  3639. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  3640. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  3641. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  3642. anything.
  3643. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  3644. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  3645. He also wrote a [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  3646. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  3647. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  3648. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  3649. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  3650. /org-ctags.el/.
  3651. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  3652. call function to do something special with text links.
  3653. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  3654. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  3655. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  3656. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  3657. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  3658. Org-mode manual:
  3659. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  3660. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  3661. *** New Babel libraries
  3662. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  3663. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  3664. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  3665. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  3666. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  3667. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  3668. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  3669. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  3670. *** Hyperlinks
  3671. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  3672. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  3673. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  3674. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  3675. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  3676. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  3677. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  3678. The key new functions are
  3679. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  3680. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  3681. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  3682. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  3683. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  3684. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  3685. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  3686. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  3687. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  3688. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  3689. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  3690. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  3691. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  3692. **** Modified link escaping
  3693. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[https://orgmode.org/list/87k4gysacq.wl%dmaus@ictsoc.de][his message]]:
  3694. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  3695. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  3696. : in link target or description) or are not allowed to appear in
  3697. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  3698. : link).
  3699. :
  3700. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  3701. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  3702. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  3703. : percent escaped links are solved.
  3704. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  3705. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  3706. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  3707. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  3708. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  3709. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  3710. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  3711. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  3712. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  3713. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  3714. string to be executed.
  3715. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  3716. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  3717. to org-file-apps:
  3718. #+begin_example
  3719. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  3720. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  3721. #+end_example
  3722. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  3723. *** Dates and time
  3724. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  3725. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  3726. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  3727. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  3728. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  3729. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  3730. will work on the current entry.
  3731. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  3732. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  3733. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  3734. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  3735. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  3736. #+begin_example
  3737. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  3738. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  3739. #+end_example
  3740. *** Agenda
  3741. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  3742. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  3743. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  3744. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  3745. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  3746. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  3747. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  3748. entries using a function.
  3749. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  3750. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  3751. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  3752. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  3753. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  3754. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  3755. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  3756. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  3757. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  3758. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  3759. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  3760. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  3761. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  3762. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  3763. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  3764. *** Exporting
  3765. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  3766. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  3767. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  3768. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  3769. docstring of these variable for details about available
  3770. %-sequences.
  3771. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  3772. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  3773. formatting string will insert a string.
  3774. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  3775. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  3776. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  3777. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  3778. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  3779. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  3780. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  3781. C-e u=, respectively.
  3782. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  3783. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  3784. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  3785. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  3786. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  3787. your preference.
  3788. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  3789. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  3790. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  3791. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  3792. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  3793. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  3794. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  3795. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  3796. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  3797. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  3798. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  3799. section]] in the manual for more details.
  3800. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  3801. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  3802. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  3803. individual could.
  3804. *** Refiling
  3805. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  3806. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  3807. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  3808. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  3809. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  3810. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  3811. **** New logging support for refiling
  3812. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  3813. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  3814. =org-log-refile=.
  3815. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  3816. *** Completion
  3817. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  3818. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  3819. *** Tables
  3820. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  3821. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  3822. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  3823. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  3824. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  3825. the displayed in the buffer.
  3826. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  3827. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  3828. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  3829. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  3830. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  3831. |--------+--------+---------|
  3832. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  3833. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  3834. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  3835. optional.
  3836. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  3837. feedback on this.
  3838. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  3839. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  3840. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  3841. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  3842. : things like
  3843. :
  3844. : @3=
  3845. : @2$2..@5$7=
  3846. : @I$2..@II$4=
  3847. :
  3848. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  3849. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  3850. : table.
  3851. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  3852. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  3853. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  3854. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  3855. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  3856. *** Lists
  3857. **** Improved handling of lists
  3858. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  3859. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  3860. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  3861. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  3862. indented than it.
  3863. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  3864. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  3865. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  3866. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  3867. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  3868. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  3869. `org-list-export-context'.
  3870. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  3871. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  3872. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  3873. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  3874. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  3875. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  3876. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  3877. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  3878. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  3879. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  3880. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  3881. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  3882. *** Inline display of linked images
  3883. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  3884. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  3885. that have no description part will be inlined.
  3886. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  3887. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  3888. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  3889. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  3890. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  3891. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  3892. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  3893. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  3894. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  3895. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  3896. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  3897. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  3898. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  3899. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  3900. tangling
  3901. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  3902. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  3903. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  3904. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  3905. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  3906. properties or in tables.
  3907. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  3908. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  3909. names, and rownames across all languages.
  3910. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  3911. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  3912. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  3913. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  3914. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  3915. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  3916. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  3917. request by Scott Otterson.
  3918. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  3919. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  3920. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  3921. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  3922. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  3923. superscripts, see the variable
  3924. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  3925. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  3926. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  3927. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  3928. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  3929. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  3930. following new faces:
  3931. =org-document-title=
  3932. =org-document-info=
  3933. =org-document-info-keyword=
  3934. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  3935. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  3936. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  3937. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  3938. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  3939. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  3940. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  3941. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  3942. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  3943. property is affected by this setting.
  3944. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  3945. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  3946. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  3947. Requested by Michael Brand.
  3948. **** Better level cycling function
  3949. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  3950. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  3951. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  3952. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  3953. **** Adaptive filling
  3954. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  3955. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  3956. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  3957. comments to be filled correctly.
  3958. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  3959. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  3960. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  3961. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  3962. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  3963. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  3964. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  3965. *** Clocking
  3966. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  3967. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  3968. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  3969. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  3970. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  3971. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  3972. **** Localized clock tables
  3973. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  3974. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  3975. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  3976. available translated strings.
  3977. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  3978. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  3979. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  3980. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  3981. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  3982. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  3983. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  3984. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  3985. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  3986. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  3987. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  3988. =nil=.
  3989. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  3990. *** Misc
  3991. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  3992. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  3993. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  3994. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  3995. **** A property value of =nil= now means to unset a property
  3996. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  3997. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  3998. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  3999. property) back.
  4000. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  4001. change.
  4002. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  4003. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  4004. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  4005. #+begin_example
  4006. org-table-get
  4007. org-table-put
  4008. org-table-current-line
  4009. org-table-goto-line
  4010. #+end_example
  4011. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  4012. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  4013. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  4014. node.
  4015. This was requested by Tom.
  4016. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  4017. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  4018. example by viewing from the agenda.
  4019. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
