  8. * Version 9.2
  9. ** Incompatible changes
  10. *** =align= STARTUP value no longer narrow table columns
  11. Columns narrowing (or shrinking) is now dynamic. See [[*Dynamically
  12. narrow table columns]] for details. In particular, it is decoupled from
  13. aligning.
  14. If you need to automatically shrink columns upon opening an Org
  15. document, use =shrink= value instead, or in addition to align:
  16. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  17. ,#+STARTUP: align shrink
  18. #+END_EXAMPLE
  19. ** New features
  20. *** ~org-archive~ functions update status cookies
  21. Archiving headers through ~org-archive-subtree~ and
  22. ~org-archive-to-archive-sibling~ such as the ones listed below:
  23. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  24. ,* Top [1/2]
  25. ,** DONE Completed
  26. ,** TODO Working
  27. #+END_SRC
  28. Will update the status cookie in the top level header.
  29. *** Disable =org-agenda-overriding-header= by setting to empty string
  30. The ~org-agenda-overriding-header~ inserted into agenda views can now
  31. be disabled by setting it to an empty string.
  32. *** Dynamically narrow table columns
  33. With ~C-c TAB~, it is now possible to narrow a column to the width
  34. specified by a width cookie in the column, or to 1 character if there
  35. is no such cookie. The same keybinding expands a narrowed column to
  36. its previous state.
  37. Editing the column automatically expands the whole column to its full
  38. size.
  39. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  40. ,#+STARTUP: shrink
  41. #+END_EXAMPLE
  42. * Version 9.1
  43. ** Incompatible changes
  44. *** Variables relative to clocksum duration are obsolete
  45. ~org-time-clocksum-format~, ~org-time-clocksum-use-fractional~ and
  46. ~org-time-clocksum-fractional-format~ are obsolete. If you changed
  47. them, consider modifying ~org-duration-format~ instead.
  48. Variable ~org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations~ is also obsolete.
  49. Consider setting ~org-duration-units~ instead.
  50. *** ~org-at-timestamp-p~ optional argument accepts different values
  51. See docstrings for the allowed values. For backward compatibility,
  52. ~(org-at-timestamp-p t)~ is still supported, but should be updated
  53. accordingly.
  54. *** ~org-capture-templates~ no longer accepts S-expressions as file names
  55. Since functions are allowed there, a straightforward way to migrate
  56. is to turn, e.g.,
  57. : (file (sexp))
  58. into
  59. : (file (lambda () (sexp)))
  60. *** Deleted contributed packages
  61. =org-ebib.el, =org-bullets.el= and =org-mime.el= have been deleted
  62. from the contrib/ directory.
  63. You can now find them here :
  64. - https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib
  65. - https://github.com/sabof/org-bullets
  66. - https://github.com/org-mime/org-mime
  67. *** Change ~org-texinfo-classes~ value
  68. The value cannot support functions to create sectionning commands
  69. anymore. Also, the sectionning commands should include commands for
  70. appendices. See the docstring for more information.
  71. *** Removal of ~:sitemap-sans-extension~
  72. The publishing property is no longer recognized, as a consequence of
  73. changes to site-map generation.
  74. You can get the same functionality by setting ~:sitemap-format-entry~
  75. to the following
  76. #+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  77. (lambda (entry style project)
  78. (cond ((not (directory-name-p entry))
  79. (format "[[file:%s][%s]]"
  80. (file-name-sans-extension entry)
  81. (org-publish-find-title entry project)))
  82. ((eq style 'tree) (file-name-nondirectory (directory-file-name entry)))
  83. (t entry)))
  84. #+END_SRC
  85. *** Change signature for ~:sitemap-function~
  86. ~:sitemap-function~ now expects to be called with two arguments. See
  87. ~org-publish-project-alist~ for details.
  88. *** Change signature for some properties in ~org-list-to-generic~
  89. ~:istart~, ~:icount~, ~:iend~ and ~:isep~ now expect the type of the
  90. list as their first argument.
  91. *** Change signature for ~org-get-repeater~
  92. The optional argument is now a string to extract the repeater from.
  93. See docstring for details.
  94. *** Change signature for ~org-time-string-to-time~
  95. See docstring for changes.
  96. *** Change order of items in ~org-agenda-time-grid~
  97. ~org-agenda-time-grid~ gained an extra item to allow users to customize
  98. the string displayed after times in the agenda. See docstring for
  99. details.
  100. *** ~tags-todo~ custom searches now include DONE keywords
  101. Use "/!" markup when filtering TODO keywords to get only not-done TODO
  102. keywords.
  103. *** ~org-split-string~ returns ~("")~ when called on an empty string
  104. It used to return nil.
  105. *** Removal of =ob-scala.el=
  106. See [[https://github.com/ensime/emacs-scala-mode/issues/114][this github issue]].
  107. You can use =ob-scala.el= as packaged in scala-mode, available from the
  108. MELPA repository.
  109. ** New features
  110. *** iCalendar export uses inheritance for TIMEZONE and LOCATION properties
  111. Both these properties can be inherited during iCalendar export,
  112. depending on the value of ~org-use-property-inheritance~.
  113. *** iCalendar export respects a TIMEZONE property
  114. Set the TIMEZONE property on an entry to specify a time zone for that
  115. entry only during iCalendar export. The property value should be
  116. specified as in "Europe/London".
  117. *** ~org-attach~ can move directory contents
  118. When setting a new directory for an entry, org-attach offers to move
  119. files over from the old directory. Using a prefix arg will reset the
  120. directory to old, ID based one.
  121. *** New Org duration library
  122. This new library implements tools to read and print time durations in
  123. various formats (e.g., "H:MM", or "1d 2h 3min"...).
  124. See ~org-duration-to-minutes~ and ~org-duration-from-minutes~
  125. docstrings.
  126. *** Agenda
  127. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~
  128. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~
  129. **** New variable : ~org-deadline-past-days~
  130. See docstring for details.
  131. **** Binding C-c C-x < for ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  132. **** New auto-align default setting for =org-agenda-tags-column=
  133. =org-agenda-tags-column= can now be set to =auto=, which will
  134. automatically align tags to the right edge of the window. This is now
  135. the default setting.
  136. *** New value for ~org-publish-sitemap-sort-folders~
  137. The new ~ignore~ value effectively allows toggling inclusion of
  138. directories in published site-maps.
  139. *** Babel
  140. **** Scheme: support for tables
  141. **** Scheme: new variable: ~org-babel-scheme-null-to~
  142. This new custom option allows to use a empty list or null symbol to
  143. format the table output, initially assigned to ~hlines~.
  144. **** Scheme: new header ~:prologue~
  145. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  146. developers to prepend code to the scheme block being processed.
  147. Multiple ~:prologue~ headers can be added each of them using a string
  148. with the content to be added.
  149. The scheme blocks are prepared by surronding the code in the block
  150. with a let form. The content of the ~:prologue~ headers are prepended
  151. before this let form.
  152. **** Support for hledger accounting reports added
  153. **** Clojure: new setting ~org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout~
  154. Creation of a new setting to specify the Cider timeout. By setting
  155. the =org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout= setting option. The value
  156. is in seconds and if set to =nil= then no timeout will occur.
  157. **** Clojure: new header ~:show-process~
  158. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  159. developers to output the process of an ongoing process into a new
  160. window/buffer.
  161. You can tell Org Babel to output the process of a running code block.
  162. To show that output you only have to specify the =:show-process=
  163. option in the code block's header like this:
  164. #+begin_example
  165. ,#+BEGIN_SRC clojure :results output :show-process t
  166. (dotimes [n 10]
  167. (println n ".")
  168. (Thread/sleep 500))
  169. ,#+END_SRC
  170. #+end_example
  171. If =:show-process= is specified that way, then when you will run the
  172. code using =C-c C-c= a new window will open in Emacs. Everything that
  173. is output by the REPL will immediately be added to that new window.
  174. When the processing of the code is finished, then the window and its
  175. buffer will be closed and the results will be reported in the
  176. =#+RESULTS= section.
  177. Note that the =:results= parameter's behavior is *not* changed. If
  178. =silent= is specified, then no result will be displayed. If =output=
  179. is specified then all the output from the window will appears in the
  180. results section. If =value= is specified, then only the last returned
  181. value of the code will be displayed in the results section.
  182. **** Maxima: new headers ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~
  183. Babel options ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~ have been implemented for
  184. Maxima src blocks which prepend and append, respectively, the given
  185. code strings. This can be useful for specifying formatting settings
  186. which would add clutter to exported code. For instance, you can use
  187. this ~:prologue "fpprintprec: 2; linel: 50;"~ for presenting Maxima
  188. results in a beamer presentation.
  189. **** PlantUML: add support for header arguments
  190. [[http://plantuml.com/][Plantuml]] source blocks now support the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/prologue.html#prologue][~:prologue~]], [[http://orgmode.org/manual/epilogue.html#epilogue][~:epilogue~]] and
  191. [[http://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] header arguments.
  192. **** SQL: new engine added ~sqsh~
  193. A new engine was added to support ~sqsh~ command line utility for use
  194. against Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase SQL server.
  195. More information on ~sqsh~ can be found here: [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/sqsh/][sourceforge/sqsh]]
  196. To use ~sqsh~ in an *sql* =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  197. #+begin_example
  198. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine sqsh :dbhost my_host :dbuser master :dbpassword pass :database support
  199. Select * From Users
  200. Where clue > 0
  201. ,#+END_SRC
  202. #+end_example
  203. **** SQL: new engine added =vertica=
  204. A new engine was added to support vsql command line utility for use
  205. against HP Vertica.
  206. 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]]
  207. To use =vertica= in an sql =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  208. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  209. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine vertica :dbhost my_host :dbuser dbadmin :dbpassword pw :database vmart
  210. SELECT * FROM nodes;
  211. ,#+END_SRC
  212. #+END_EXAMPLE
  213. **** C++: New header ~:namespaces~
  214. The new ~:namespaces~ export option can be used to specify namespaces
  215. to be used within a C++ org source block. Its usage is similar to
  216. ~:includes~, in that it can accept multiple, space-separated
  217. namespaces to use. This header is equivalent to adding ~using
  218. namespace <name>;~ in the source block. Here is a "Hello World" in C++
  219. using ~:namespaces~:
  220. #+begin_example
  221. ,#+BEGIN_SRC C++ :results output :namespaces std :includes <iostream>
  222. cout << "Hello World" << endl;
  223. ,#+END_SRC
  224. #+end_example
  225. **** Support for Vala language
  226. [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala][Vala]] language blocks support two special header arguments:
  227. - ~:flags~ passes arguments to the compiler
  228. - ~:cmdline~ passes commandline arguments to the generated executable
  229. Support for [[http://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] does not exist yet, also there is no [[http://orgmode.org/manual/session.html#session][~:session~]]
  230. support because Vala is a compiled language.
  231. The Vala compiler binary can be changed via the ~defcustom~
  232. ~org-babel-vala-compiler~.
  233. *** New ~function~ scope argument for the Clock Table
  234. Added a nullary function that returns a list of files as a possible
  235. argument for the scope of the clock table.
  236. *** Export
  237. **** Implement vernacular table of contents in Markdown exporter
  238. Global table of contents are generated using vanilla Markdown syntax
  239. instead of HTML. Also #+TOC keyword, including local table of
  240. contents, are now supported.
  241. **** Add Slovanian translations
  242. **** Implement ~org-export-insert-image-links~
  243. This new function is meant to be used in back-ends supporting images
  244. as descriptions of links, a.k.a. image links. See its docstring for
  245. details.
  246. **** New macro : ~{{{n}}}~
  247. This macro creates and increment multiple counters in a document. See
  248. manual for details.
  249. **** Add global macros through ~org-export-global-macros~
  250. With this variable, one can define macros available for all documents.
  251. **** New keyword ~#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME~
  252. Similarly to ~:EXPORT_FILE_NAME:~ property, this keyword allows the
  253. user to specify the name of the output file upon exporting the
  254. document. This also has an effect on publishing.
  255. **** Horizontal rules are no longer ignored in LaTeX table math mode
  256. **** Use ~compilation-mode~ for compilation output
  257. **** Plain lists accept a new ~:separator~ attribute in Texinfo
  258. The new ~:separator~ attribute splits a tag from a description list
  259. item into multiple parts. This allows to have two-column tables with
  260. multiple entries in the first column. See manual for more details.
  261. **** ~latex-environment~ elements support ~caption~ keywords for LaTeX export
  262. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit LaTeX environments
  263. Using ~C-c '~ on a LaTeX environment opens a sub-editing buffer. By
  264. default, major mode in that buffer is ~latex-mode~, but it can be
  265. changed by configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~.
  266. *** ~org-list-to-generic~ includes a new property: ~:ifmt~
  267. ~:ifmt~ is a function to be called on the body of each item. See
  268. ~org-list-to-generic~ documentation for details.
  269. *** New variable : ~org-bibtex-headline-format-function~
  270. This allow to use a different title than entry title.
  271. *** ~org-attach~ supports attaching files from URLs
  272. Using ~C-c C-a u~ prompts for a URL pointing to a file to be attached
  273. to the document.
  274. *** New option for ~org-refile-use-outline-path~
  275. ~org-refile-use-outline-path~ now supports the setting ~buffer-name~,
  276. which causes refile targets to be prefixed with the buffer’s
  277. name. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with
  278. ~uniquify.el~.
  279. *** ~org-file-contents~ now allows the FILE argument to be a URL.
  280. This allows ~#+SETUPFILE:~ to accept a URL instead of a local file
  281. path. The URL contents are auto-downloaded and saved to a temporary
  282. cache ~org--file-cache~. A new optional argument ~NOCACHE~ is added
  283. to ~org-file-contents~.
  284. *** ~org-mode-restart~ now resets the newly added ~org--file-cache~.
  285. Using ~C-c C-c~ on any keyword (like ~#+SETUPFILE~) will reset the
  286. that file cache.
  287. *** New option : ~org-table-duration-hour-zero-padding~
  288. This variable allow computed durations in tables to be zero-padded.
  289. *** New mode switch for table formulas : =U=
  290. This mode omits seconds in durations.
  291. ** Removed functions
  292. *** Org Timeline
  293. This feature has been removed. Use a custom agenda view, possibly
  294. narrowed to current buffer to achieve a similar functionality.
  295. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  296. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  297. *** ~org-agenda-skip-subtree-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  298. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  299. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches-in-subtree~ is obsolete
  300. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  301. *** ~org-minutes-to-clocksum-string~ is obsolete
  302. Use ~org-duration-from-minutes~ instead.
  303. *** ~org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  304. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  305. *** ~org-duration-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  306. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  307. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-cached-article-number~ is removed.
  308. This function relied on ~nnimap-group-overview-filename~, which was
  309. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  310. ** Removed options
  311. *** ~org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all~ is removed.
  312. For an equivalent to a ~nil~ value, set
  313. ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~ to nil and
  314. ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~ to ~t~.
  315. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-query-article-no-from-file~ is removed.
  316. This variable has no effect, as it was relying on a function that was
  317. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  318. *** ~org-usenet-links-prefer-google~ is obsolete.
  319. Use ~org-gnus-prefer-web-links~ instead.
  320. *** ~org-publish-sitemap-file-entry-format~ is deprecated
  321. One can provide new ~:sitemap-format-entry~ property for a function
  322. equivalent to the removed format string.
  323. *** ~org-enable-table-editor~ is removed.
  324. Setting it to a ~nil~ value broke some other features (e.g., speed
  325. keys).
  326. *** ~org-export-use-babel~ cannot be set to ~inline-only~
  327. The variable is now a boolean.
  328. *** ~org-texinfo-def-table-markup~ is obsolete
  329. Use ~org-texinfo-table-default-markup~ instead.
  330. ** New functions
  331. *** ~org-publish-find-property~
  332. This function can be used as a tool to format entries in a site-map,
  333. in addition to ~org-publish-find-title~ and ~org-publish-find-date~.
  334. *** ~org-list-to-org~
  335. It is the reciprocal of ~org-list-to-lisp~, which see.
  336. *** ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  337. Call ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock~ from the agenda.
  338. ** Miscellaneous
  339. *** The Library of Babel now on Worg
  340. The library-of-babel.org used to be accessible from the =doc/=
  341. directory, distributed with Org’s core. It is now accessible
  342. from the Worg community-driven documentation [[http://orgmode.org/worg/library-of-babel.html][here]].
  343. If you want to contribute to it, please see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html][how to contribute]].
  344. *** Allow multiple columns view
  345. Columns view is not limited to a single buffer anymore.
  346. *** Org Attach obeys ~dired-dwim-target~
  347. When a Dired buffer is opened next to the Org document being edited,
  348. the prompt for file to attach can start in the Dired buffer's
  349. directory if `dired-dwim-target' in non-nil.
  350. *** ~org-fill-paragraph~ can now fill a whole region
  351. *** More specific anniversary descriptions
  352. Anniversary descriptions (used in the agenda view, for instance)
  353. include the point in time, when the anniversary appears. This is,
  354. in its most general form, just the date of the anniversary. Or
  355. more specific terms, like "today", "tomorrow" or "in n days" are
  356. used to describe the time span.
  357. This feature allows to automatically change the description of an
  358. anniversary, depending on if it occurs in the next few days or
  359. far away in the future.
  360. *** Computed dates in tables appear as inactive time stamps
  361. *** Save point before opening a file with an unknown search option
  362. When following a file link with a search option (e.g., =::#custom-id=)
  363. that doesn't exist in the target file, save positon before raising an
  364. error. As a consequence, it is possible to jump back to the original
  365. document with ~org-mark-ring-goto~ (default binding =C-c &=).
  366. *** ~org-get-heading~ accepts two more optional arguments
  367. See docstring for details.
  368. *** New option ~org-babel-uppercase-example-markers~
  369. This variable is a ~defcustom~ and replaces the variable
  370. ~org-babel-capitalize-example-region-markers~, which is a ~defvar~ and
  371. is now obselete.
  372. *** =INCLUDE= keywords in commented trees are now ignored.
  373. *** Default value for ~org-texinfo-text-markup-alist~ changed.
  374. Now ~=...=~ markup uses ~@samp{}~ instead of ~@verb{}~. You can use
  375. ~@verb{}~ again by customizing the variable.
  376. *** Texinfo exports example blocks as ~@example~
  377. *** Texinfo exports inline src blocks as ~@code{}~
  378. *** Texinfo default table markup is ~@asis~
  379. It used to be ~@samp~ but ~@asis~ is neutral and, therefore, more
  380. suitable as a default value.
  381. *** Texinfo default process includes ~--no-split~ option
  382. *** New entities : ~\dollar~ and ~\USD~
  383. *** ~org-parse-time-string~ accepts a new optional argument
  384. =ZONE= specifies the current time zone.
  385. *** ~org-time-string-to-seconds~ now accepts an optional =ZONE= argument
  386. *** Support for date style URLs in =org-protocol://open-source=
  387. URLs like =https://cool-blog.com/2017/05/20/cool-post/= are
  388. covered by rewrite rules.
  389. *** Add (C) =COMMENT= support to ~org-structure-template-alist~
  390. * Version 9.0
  391. ** Incompatible changes
  392. *** Emacs 23 support has been dropped
  393. From now on, Org expects at least Emacs 24.3, although Emacs 24.4 or
  394. above is suggested.
  395. *** XEmacs support has been dropped
  396. Incomplete compatibility layer with XEmacs has been removed. If you
  397. want to take over maintenance of this compatibility, please contact
  398. our mailing list.
  399. *** New syntax for export blocks
  400. Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
  401. disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
  402. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  403. ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
  404. ...
  405. ,#+END_EXPORT
  406. #+END_SRC
  407. instead of
  408. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  409. ,#+BEGIN_backend
  410. ...
  411. ,#+END_backend
  412. #+END_SRC
  413. As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
  414. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  415. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
  416. #+END_SRC
  417. becomes
  418. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  419. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
  420. #+END_SRC
  421. The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
  422. using previous syntax:
  423. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  424. (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
  425. "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
  426. (interactive)
  427. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  428. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  429. (back-end-re (regexp-opt
  430. '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
  431. "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
  432. t)))
  433. (org-with-wide-buffer
  434. (goto-char (point-min))
  435. (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
  436. (save-excursion
  437. (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
  438. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  439. (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
  440. (save-excursion
  441. (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
  442. (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
  443. (forward-char)
  444. (insert "EXPORT")
  445. (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
  446. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
  447. (let ((include-re
  448. (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
  449. (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
  450. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  451. (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
  452. (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
  453. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
  454. #+END_SRC
  455. Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~ and
  456. ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to be
  457. removed.
  458. *** Footnotes
  459. **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
  460. Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
  461. it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
  462. constructs are now unsupported.
  463. If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them into
  464. =[fn:N]=.
  465. **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
  466. Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
  467. something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
  468. consider using the =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
  469. In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
  470. exists.
  471. *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
  472. The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
  473. S-expressions. Replacing an S-expression with an appropriate function
  474. is straightforward. For example
  475. : ("pdf" . (foo))
  476. becomes
  477. : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
  478. *** The ~{{{modification-time}}}~ macro can get time via =vc=
  479. The modification time will be determined via =vc.el= if the second
  480. argument is non-nil. See the manual for details.
  481. *** Preparation and completion functions in publishing projects change signature
  482. Preparation and completion functions are now called with an argument,
  483. which is the project property list. It used to be dynamically scoped
  484. through the ~project-plist~ variable.
  485. *** Old Babel header properties are no longer supported
  486. Using header arguments as property names is no longer possible. As
  487. such, the following
  488. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  489. ,* Headline
  490. :PROPERTIES:
  491. :exports: code
  492. :var: a=1 b=2
  493. :var+: c=3
  494. :END:
  495. #+END_EXAMPLE
  496. should be written instead
  497. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  498. ,* Headline
  499. :PROPERTIES:
  500. :header-args: :exports code

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

  1931. - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
  1932. - [[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]]
  1933. - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
  1934. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  1935. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  1936. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  1937. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
  1938. - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
  1939. - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
  1940. - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
  1941. - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
  1942. - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
  1943. - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
  1944. - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
  1945. - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43

  1947. - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports OS X versions up to 10.8
  1948. - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
  1949. ** Outside Org
  1950. *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
  1951. David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
  1952. You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
  1953. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  1954. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  1955. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  1956. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  1957. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  1958. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  1959. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  1960. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  1961. found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  1962. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
  1963. - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
  1964. - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
  1965. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  1966. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  1967. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  1968. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  1969. * Version 7.9.3
  1970. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  1971. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  1972. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  1973. agenda views.)
  1974. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  1975. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  1976. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  1977. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  1978. agenda type to this variable.
  1979. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  1980. generation.
  1981. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  1982. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  1983. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  1984. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  1985. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  1986. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  1987. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  1988. invisible) blocked tasks.
  1989. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  1990. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  1991. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  1992. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  1993. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  1994. ** No GPL manual anymore
  1995. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  1996. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  1997. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  1998. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  1999. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  2000. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  2001. in most environments.
  2002. * Version 7.9.2
  2003. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  2004. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  2005. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2006. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  2007. #+END_SRC
  2008. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  2009. available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  2010. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  2011. directory.)
  2012. See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
  2013. ** Overview of the new keybindings
  2014. | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |

  2029. ** New package and Babel language
  2030. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  2031. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  2032. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  2033. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  2034. ** Incompatible changes
  2035. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  2036. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  2037. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  2038. instead.
  2039. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  2040. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  2041. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  2042. ** New features and user-visible changes
  2043. *** Org Element
  2044. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  2045. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  2046. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  2047. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  2048. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  2049. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  2050. See the docstrings for more details.
  2051. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  2052. on =org-element.el=.
  2053. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  2054. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  2055. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  2056. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  2057. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  2058. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  2059. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  2060. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  2061. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  2062. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  2063. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  2064. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  2065. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  2066. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  2067. elements.
  2068. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  2069. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  2070. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  2071. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  2072. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  2073. item. Etc.
  2074. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  2075. the whole list.
  2076. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  2077. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  2078. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  2079. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  2080. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  2081. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  2082. the same level.
  2083. *** Org Agenda
  2084. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  2085. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  2086. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  2087. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  2088. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  2089. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  2090. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  2091. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  2092. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  2093. generating new ones.
  2094. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  2095. agenda buffer.
  2096. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  2097. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  2098. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  2099. to this value
  2100. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2101. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  2102. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  2103. #+END_SRC
  2104. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  2105. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  2106. details on how to use this.
  2107. **** Changes in bulk actions
  2108. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  2109. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  2110. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  2111. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  2112. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  2113. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  2114. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  2115. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  2116. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  2117. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  2118. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  2119. =t=.
  2120. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  2121. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  2122. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  2123. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  2124. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  2125. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  2126. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  2127. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  2128. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  2129. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  2130. =f= or =w=).
  2131. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  2132. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  2133. of deadline.
  2134. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  2135. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  2136. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  2137. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  2138. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  2139. several times.
  2140. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  2141. See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  2142. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  2143. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  2144. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  2145. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  2146. filters and category filters.
  2147. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  2148. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  2149. configuration.
  2150. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  2151. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  2152. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  2153. point.
  2154. *** Org Links
  2155. **** Inserting links
  2156. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  2157. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  2158. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  2159. want to insert.
  2160. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  2161. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  2162. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  2163. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  2164. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  2165. highlighted.
  2166. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  2167. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  2168. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  2169. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  2170. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  2171. **** New link type =help=
  2172. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  2173. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  2174. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  2175. you go back to the same buffer.
  2176. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  2177. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  2178. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  2179. =org-stored-links=.
  2180. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  2181. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  2182. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  2183. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  2184. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  2185. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  2186. *** Org Editing
  2187. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  2188. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  2189. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  2190. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  2191. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  2192. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  2193. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  2194. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  2195. all headlines in the region.
  2196. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  2197. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  2198. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  2199. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  2200. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  2201. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  2202. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  2203. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  2204. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  2205. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  2206. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  2207. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  2208. undo RET=.
  2209. *** Org Clock
  2210. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  2211. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  2212. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  2213. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  2214. clocked entry, if any.
  2215. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  2216. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  2217. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  2218. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  2219. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  2220. out.
  2221. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  2222. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  2223. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  2224. arguments).
  2225. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  2226. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  2227. in.
  2228. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  2229. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  2230. cells in clockreport.
  2231. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  2232. time cells in clockreport.
  2233. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  2234. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  2235. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  2236. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  2237. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  2238. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  2239. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  2240. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  2241. space in the frame title.
  2242. *** Org Appearance
  2243. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  2244. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  2245. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  2246. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  2247. don't want to see temporarily.
  2248. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  2249. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  2250. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  2251. There are these new entities:
  2252. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  2253. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  2254. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  2255. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  2256. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  2257. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  2258. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  2259. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  2260. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  2261. The face is back to a normal height.
  2262. *** Org Columns
  2263. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  2264. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  2265. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  2266. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  2267. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  2268. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  2269. block will use its value as the column format.
  2270. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  2271. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  2272. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  2273. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  2274. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  2275. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  2276. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  2277. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  2278. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  2279. You can now use
  2280. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  2281. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  2282. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  2283. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  2284. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  2285. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  2286. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  2287. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  2288. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  2289. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  2290. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  2291. *** Org Capture
  2292. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  2293. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  2294. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  2295. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  2296. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  2297. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  2298. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  2299. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  2300. set to this value
  2301. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2302. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  2303. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  2304. #+END_SRC
  2305. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  2306. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  2307. more details on how to use this.
  2308. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  2309. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  2310. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  2311. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  2312. =nil=.
  2313. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  2314. See the manual for more explanations.
  2315. **** More control over empty lines
  2316. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  2317. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  2318. explanations.
  2319. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  2320. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  2321. *** Org Export
  2322. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  2323. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  2324. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  2325. available) to print beautiful tables.
  2326. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  2327. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  2328. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  2329. the table.
  2330. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  2331. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  2332. in the #+DATE option.
  2333. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  2334. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  2335. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  2336. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  2337. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  2338. More languages are always welcome.
  2339. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  2340. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  2341. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  2342. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  2343. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  2344. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  2345. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  2346. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  2347. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  2348. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  2349. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  2350. *** Org Babel
  2351. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  2352. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  2353. supported.
  2354. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  2355. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  2356. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  2357. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  2358. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  2359. It used to exports the results of the code.
  2360. *** Miscellaneous
  2361. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  2362. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  2363. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  2364. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  2365. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  2366. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  2367. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  2368. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  2369. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  2370. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  2371. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  2372. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  2373. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  2374. alarm.
  2375. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  2376. This will increment the effort value.
  2377. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  2378. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  2379. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  2380. attach symbolic links.
  2381. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  2382. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  2383. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  2384. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  2385. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  2386. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  2387. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  2388. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  2389. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  2390. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  2391. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  2392. all top level list items.
  2393. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  2394. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  2395. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  2396. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  2397. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  2398. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  2399. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  2400. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  2401. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  2402. first headline in the region.
  2403. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  2404. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  2405. agenda.
  2406. ** Important bug fixes
  2407. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  2408. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  2409. perform completion with meaningful values.
  2410. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  2411. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  2412. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  2413. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  2414. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  2415. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  2416. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  2417. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  2418. license.
  2419. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  2420. the code and the license to your needs.
  2421. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  2422. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  2423. * Version 7.8.11
  2424. ** Incompatible changes
  2425. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  2426. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  2427. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  2428. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  2429. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  2430. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  2431. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  2432. last-minute save.
  2433. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  2434. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  2435. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  2436. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  2437. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  2438. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  2439. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  2440. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  2441. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  2442. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  2443. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  2444. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  2445. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  2446. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  2447. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  2448. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  2449. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  2450. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  2451. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  2452. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  2453. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  2454. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  2455. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  2456. #+end_src
  2457. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  2458. setup./
  2459. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  2460. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  2461. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  2462. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  2463. The two new variables are:
  2464. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  2465. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  2466. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  2467. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  2468. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  2469. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  2470. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  2471. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  2472. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  2473. classes.
  2474. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  2475. document are:
  2476. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  2477. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  2478. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  2479. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  2480. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  2481. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  2482. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  2483. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  2484. #+begin_example
  2485. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  2486. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  2487. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  2488. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  2489. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  2490. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  2491. #+end_example
  2492. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  2493. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  2494. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  2495. applies to the following packages:
  2496. - inputenc
  2497. - fontenc
  2498. - fixltx2e
  2499. - graphicx
  2500. - longtable
  2501. - float
  2502. - wrapfig
  2503. - soul
  2504. - t1enc
  2505. - textcomp
  2506. - marvosym
  2507. - wasysym
  2508. - latexsym
  2509. - amssymb
  2510. - hyperref
  2511. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  2512. you are using, you can remove it from
  2513. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  2514. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  2515. properly.
  2516. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  2517. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  2518. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  2519. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  2520. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  2521. the header.
  2522. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  2523. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  2524. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  2525. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  2526. code using it.
  2527. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  2528. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  2529. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  2530. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  2531. ** Important new features
  2532. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  2533. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  2534. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  2535. for more information on how to customize it.
  2536. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  2537. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  2538. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  2539. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  2540. section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  2541. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  2542. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  2543. [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  2544. To switch over to the new system:
  2545. 1. Run
  2546. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  2547. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  2548. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  2549. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  2550. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  2551. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  2552. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  2553. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  2554. customization.
  2555. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  2556. with org-remember:
  2557. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  2558. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  2559. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  2560. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  2561. with using both system in parallel.
  2562. ** New libraries
  2563. *** New Org libraries
  2564. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  2565. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  2566. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  2567. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  2568. To use, put the following in your init file:
  2569. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  2570. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  2571. #+END_EXAMPLE
  2572. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  2573. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  2574. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  2575. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  2576. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  2577. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  2578. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  2579. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  2580. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  2581. anything.
  2582. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  2583. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  2584. He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  2585. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  2586. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  2587. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  2588. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  2589. /org-ctags.el/.
  2590. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  2591. call function to do something special with text links.
  2592. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  2593. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  2594. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  2595. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  2596. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  2597. Org-mode manual:
  2598. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  2599. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  2600. *** New Babel libraries
  2601. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  2602. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  2603. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  2604. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  2605. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  2606. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  2607. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  2608. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  2609. *** Hyperlinks
  2610. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  2611. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  2612. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  2613. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  2614. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  2615. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  2616. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  2617. The key new functions are
  2618. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  2619. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  2620. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  2621. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  2622. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  2623. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  2624. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  2625. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  2626. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  2627. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  2628. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  2629. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  2630. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  2631. **** Modified link escaping
  2632. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  2633. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  2634. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  2635. : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
  2636. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  2637. : link).
  2638. :
  2639. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  2640. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  2641. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  2642. : percent escaped links are solved.
  2643. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  2644. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  2645. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  2646. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  2647. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  2648. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  2649. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  2650. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  2651. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  2652. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  2653. string to be executed.
  2654. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  2655. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  2656. to org-file-apps:
  2657. #+begin_example
  2658. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  2659. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  2660. #+end_example
  2661. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  2662. *** Dates and time
  2663. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  2664. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  2665. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  2666. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  2667. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  2668. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  2669. will work on the current entry.
  2670. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  2671. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  2672. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  2673. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  2674. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  2675. #+begin_example
  2676. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  2677. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  2678. #+end_example
  2679. *** Agenda
  2680. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  2681. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  2682. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  2683. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  2684. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  2685. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  2686. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  2687. entries using a function.
  2688. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  2689. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  2690. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  2691. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  2692. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  2693. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  2694. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  2695. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  2696. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  2697. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  2698. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  2699. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  2700. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  2701. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  2702. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  2703. *** Exporting
  2704. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  2705. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  2706. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  2707. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  2708. docstring of these variable for details about available
  2709. %-sequences.
  2710. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  2711. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  2712. formatting string will insert a string.
  2713. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  2714. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  2715. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  2716. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  2717. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  2718. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  2719. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  2720. C-e u=, respectively.
  2721. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  2722. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  2723. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  2724. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  2725. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  2726. your preference.
  2727. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  2728. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  2729. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  2730. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  2731. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  2732. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  2733. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  2734. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  2735. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  2736. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  2737. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  2738. section]] in the manual for more details.
  2739. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  2740. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  2741. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  2742. individual could.
  2743. *** Refiling
  2744. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  2745. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  2746. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  2747. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  2748. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  2749. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  2750. **** New logging support for refiling
  2751. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  2752. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  2753. =org-log-refile=.
  2754. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  2755. *** Completion
  2756. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  2757. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  2758. *** Tables
  2759. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  2760. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  2761. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  2762. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  2763. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  2764. the displayed in the buffer.
  2765. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  2766. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  2767. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  2768. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  2769. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  2770. |--------+--------+---------|
  2771. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  2772. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  2773. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  2774. optional.
  2775. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  2776. feedback on this.
  2777. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  2778. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  2779. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  2780. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  2781. : things like
  2782. :
  2783. : @3=
  2784. : @2$2..@5$7=
  2785. : @I$2..@II$4=
  2786. :
  2787. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  2788. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  2789. : table.
  2790. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  2791. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  2792. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  2793. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  2794. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  2795. *** Lists
  2796. **** Improved handling of lists
  2797. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  2798. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  2799. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  2800. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  2801. indented than it.
  2802. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  2803. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  2804. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  2805. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  2806. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  2807. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  2808. `org-list-export-context'.
  2809. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  2810. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  2811. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  2812. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  2813. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  2814. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  2815. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  2816. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  2817. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  2818. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  2819. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  2820. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  2821. *** Inline display of linked images
  2822. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  2823. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  2824. that have no description part will be inlined.
  2825. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  2826. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  2827. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  2828. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  2829. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  2830. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  2831. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  2832. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  2833. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  2834. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  2835. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  2836. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  2837. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  2838. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  2839. tangling
  2840. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  2841. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  2842. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  2843. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  2844. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  2845. properties or in tables.
  2846. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  2847. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  2848. names, and rownames across all languages.
  2849. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  2850. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  2851. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  2852. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  2853. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  2854. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  2855. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  2856. request by Scott Otterson.
  2857. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  2858. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  2859. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  2860. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  2861. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  2862. superscripts, see the variable
  2863. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  2864. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  2865. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  2866. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  2867. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  2868. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  2869. following new faces:
  2870. =org-document-title=
  2871. =org-document-info=
  2872. =org-document-info-keyword=
  2873. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  2874. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  2875. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  2876. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  2877. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  2878. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  2879. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  2880. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  2881. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  2882. property is affected by this setting.
  2883. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  2884. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  2885. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  2886. Requested by Michael Brand.
  2887. **** Better level cycling function
  2888. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  2889. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  2890. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  2891. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  2892. **** Adaptive filling
  2893. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  2894. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  2895. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  2896. comments to be filled correctly.
  2897. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  2898. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  2899. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  2900. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  2901. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  2902. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  2903. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  2904. *** Clocking
  2905. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  2906. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  2907. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  2908. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  2909. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  2910. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  2911. **** Localized clock tables
  2912. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  2913. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  2914. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  2915. available translated strings.
  2916. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  2917. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  2918. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  2919. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  2920. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  2921. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  2922. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  2923. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  2924. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  2925. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  2926. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  2927. =nil=.
  2928. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  2929. *** Misc
  2930. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  2931. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  2932. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  2933. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  2934. **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  2935. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  2936. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  2937. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  2938. property) back.
  2939. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  2940. change.
  2941. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  2942. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  2943. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  2944. #+begin_example
  2945. org-table-get
  2946. org-table-put
  2947. org-table-current-line
  2948. org-table-goto-line
  2949. #+end_example
  2950. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  2951. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  2952. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  2953. node.
  2954. This was requested by Tom.
  2955. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  2956. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  2957. example by viewing from the agenda.
  2958. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
