  17. instead of
  18. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  19. ,#+BEGIN_backend
  20. ...
  21. ,#+END_backend
  22. #+END_SRC
  23. As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
  24. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  25. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
  26. #+END_SRC
  27. becomes
  28. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  29. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
  30. #+END_SRC
  31. The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
  32. using previous syntax:
  33. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  34. (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
  35. "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
  36. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  37. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  38. (back-end-re (regexp-opt
  39. '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
  40. "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
  41. t)))
  42. (org-with-wide-buffer
  43. (goto-char (point-min))
  44. (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
  45. (save-excursion
  46. (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
  47. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  48. (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
  49. (save-excursion
  50. (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
  51. (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
  52. (forward-char)
  53. (insert "EXPORT")
  54. (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
  55. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
  56. (let ((include-re
  57. (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
  58. (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
  59. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  60. (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
  61. (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
  62. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
  63. #+END_SRC
  64. Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~
  65. and ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to
  66. be removed.
  67. *** Footnotes
  68. **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
  69. Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
  70. it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
  71. constructs are now unsupported.
  72. If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them
  73. into =[fn:N]=.
  74. **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
  75. Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
  76. something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
  77. consider using =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
  78. In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
  79. exists.
  80. *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
  81. The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
  82. S-expressions. Replacing a S-expresion with an appropriate function
  83. is straightforward. For example
  84. : ("pdf" . (foo))
  85. becomes
  86. : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
  87. ** New features
  88. *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
  89. Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
  90. #+begin_example
  91. org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
  92. org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
  93. #+end_example
  94. Old-style links such as
  95. : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
  96. continue to be supported.
  97. If you have defined your own handler functions for
  98. ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
  99. list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
  100. ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into
  101. property lists.
  102. *** Org linter
  103. ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
  104. *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
  105. When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
  106. entries are added to last in the date tree.
  107. *** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
  108. This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
  109. a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
  110. *** New ~vbar~ entity
  111. ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionnally as a =|=,
  112. unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~|~ when using
  113. a HTML derived export back-end.
  114. *** Babel
  115. **** Support for SLY in Lisp blocks
  116. See ~org-babel-lisp-eval-fn~ to activate it.
  117. **** Support for Stan language
  118. New ob-stan.el library.
  119. Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
  120. 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
  121. This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
  122. allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
  123. 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
  124. This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
  125. ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
  126. that does not end in ".stan".
  127. For more information and usage examples, visit
  128. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
  129. **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
  130. =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
  131. database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
  132. mandatory):
  133. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  134. :engine oracle
  135. :dbhost <host.com>
  136. :dbport <1521>
  137. :dbuser <username>
  138. :database <database>
  139. :dbpassword <secret>
  140. #+END_EXAMPLE
  141. **** Support for additional plantuml output formats
  142. The support for output formats of [[http://plantuml.com/][plantuml]] has been extended to now
  143. include:
  144. All Diagrams:
  145. - png ::
  146. - svg ::
  147. - eps ::
  148. - pdf ::
  149. - vdx ::
  150. - txt :: ASCII art
  151. - utxt :: ASCII art using unicode characters
  152. Class Diagrams:
  153. - xmi ::
  154. - html ::
  155. State Diagrams:
  156. - scxml ::
  157. The output formats are determined by the file extension specified
  158. using the :file property, e.g.:
  159. #+begin_src plantuml :file diagram.png
  160. @startuml
  161. Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
  162. Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
  163. Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
  164. Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
  165. @enduml
  166. #+end_src
  167. Please note that *pdf* *does not work out of the box* and needss
  168. additional setup in addition to plantuml. See
  169. [[http://plantuml.com/pdf.html]] for details and setup information.
  170. *** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
  171. PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
  172. details.
  173. *** Rewrite of radio lists
  174. Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
  175. rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
  176. parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
  177. for details.
  178. *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
  179. Used like org-bbdb-anniversaries, it provides a few days warning
  180. for upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
  181. *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
  182. If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
  183. information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
  184. See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
  185. *** Support for ISO week trees
  186. ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
  187. by ISO week and not by month.
  188. For example:
  189. : * 2015
  190. : ** 2015-W35
  191. : ** 2015-W36
  192. : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
  193. They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
  194. ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
  195. *** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
  196. Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
  197. string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
  198. position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
  199. for more details.
  200. *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
  201. When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
  202. an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
  203. On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
  204. *** Columns view
  205. **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
  206. When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
  207. buffer unconditionally.
  208. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
  209. The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
  210. **** Allow custom summaries
  211. It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
  212. provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
  213. **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
  214. Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
  215. types.
  216. *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
  217. *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
  218. When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
  219. a git repository.
  220. *** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
  221. If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
  222. will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
  223. enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
  224. ~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
  225. ** New functions
  226. *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
  227. It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
  228. *** ~org-show-children~
  229. It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
  230. ** Removed functions
  231. *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
  232. Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
  233. *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
  234. Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
  235. *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
  236. Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
  237. *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
  238. Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
  239. *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
  240. Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
  241. The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
  242. *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
  243. Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
  244. *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
  245. A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
  246. now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
  247. *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
  248. Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
  249. *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
  250. It was not called by any org code since 2010.
  251. *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
  252. The affected functions are:
  253. - ~org-count~
  254. - ~org-remove-if~
  255. - ~org-remove-if-not~
  256. - ~org-reduce~
  257. - ~org-every~
  258. - ~org-some~
  259. Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
  260. the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
  261. end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
  262. ** Removed options
  263. *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
  264. This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
  265. Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
  266. let those libraries operate.
  267. *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
  268. Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
  269. plain list.
  270. *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  271. fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
  272. ** Miscellaneous
  273. *** Allow angular links within link descriptions
  274. It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
  275. ~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
  276. ~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
  277. is that spaces are allowed within the path.
  278. *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  279. *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
  280. Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
  281. current projet. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
  282. Org files.
  283. *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
  284. The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
  285. indentation.
  286. *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
  287. Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
  288. However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
  289. the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
  290. placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
  291. very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
  292. Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
  293. template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
  294. expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
  295. another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
  296. *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
  297. Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
  298. to the article's original group.
  299. *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
  300. The calling convention has changed.
  301. *** HTML export table row customization changes
  302. Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
  303. ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
  304. Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
  305. called with 6 parameters.
  306. *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
  307. *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
  308. The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
  309. *** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
  310. HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
  311. than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
  312. Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
  313. : <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  314. where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
  315. For most folks this file does not exist.
  316. Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
  317. : <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  318. All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other =gnu.org= manuals.
  319. * Version 8.3
  320. ** Incompatible changes
  321. *** Properties drawers syntax changes
  322. Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
  323. headline and its planning line, when applicable.
  324. It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
  325. logged before the property drawer.
  326. The following function will repair them:
  327. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  328. (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
  329. "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
  330. Ignore non Org buffers."
  331. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  332. (org-with-wide-buffer
  333. (goto-char (point-min))
  334. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  335. (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
  336. (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
  337. "END[ \t]*$"))))
  338. (org-map-entries
  339. (lambda ()
  340. (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
  341. (save-excursion
  342. (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
  343. (forward-line)
  344. (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
  345. (when (and (< (point) end)
  346. (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
  347. (save-excursion
  348. (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
  349. (eq (org-element-type
  350. (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
  351. 'drawer))))
  352. (insert (delete-and-extract-region
  353. (match-beginning 0)
  354. (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
  355. (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
  356. #+END_SRC
  357. *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
  358. If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
  359. exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
  360. is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
  361. into account when exporting.
  362. If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
  363. for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
  364. *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
  365. It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
  366. the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
  367. 5.14 (2008).
  368. =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
  369. properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
  370. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  371. ,* Headline
  372. :PROPERTIES:
  373. :CATEGORY: some category
  374. :END:
  375. #+END_SRC
  376. *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
  377. ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
  378. and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
  379. controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
  380. see.
  381. *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
  382. ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
  383. version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
  384. Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
  385. ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
  386. *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
  387. Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
  388. buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
  389. *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
  390. The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
  391. ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~ respectively,
  392. rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these functions. The Org
  393. version of these functions skips over inline tasks (and even-level
  394. headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
  395. *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
  396. ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
  397. =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
  398. *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
  399. If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
  400. org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
  401. org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
  402. *** Functions signature changes
  403. The following functions require an additional argument. See their
  404. docstring for more information.
  405. - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
  406. - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
  407. - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
  408. - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
  409. - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
  410. - ~org-link-search~
  411. ** New features
  412. *** Default lexical evaluation of emacs-lisp src blocks
  413. Emacs-lisp src blocks in babel are now evaluated using lexical scoping. There is a new header to control this behavior.
  414. The default results in an eval with lexical scoping.
  415. :lexical yes
  416. This turns lexical scoping off in the eval (the former behavior).
  417. :lexical no
  418. This uses the lexical environment with x=42 in the eval.
  419. :lexical '((x . 42))
  420. *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
  421. If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
  422. without changing the headline.
  423. *** Hierarchies of tags
  424. The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
  425. This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
  426. in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
  427. The following in-buffer definition:
  428. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  429. ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
  430. ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
  431. ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
  432. #+END_SRC
  433. Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
  434. - Group
  435. - SubOne
  436. - SubOne1
  437. - SubOne2
  438. - SubTwo
  439. - SubTwo1
  440. - SubTwo2
  441. Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
  442. on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
  443. There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
  444. *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
  445. Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
  446. don't have to be distinct on a heading.
  447. Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
  448. already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
  449. non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: {
  450. } can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the
  451. given tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
  452. [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
  453. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  454. ,* Test :sub1:sub2:
  455. #+END_SRC
  456. This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
  457. grouptags; { }.
  458. *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
  459. Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
  460. "sub-tags".
  461. The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
  462. Example use:
  463. : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
  464. Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
  465. regular expression matches for P@.+. Good for example if tags for a
  466. certain project is tagged with a common project-identifier,
  467. i.e. P@2014_OrgTags.
  468. *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
  469. Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filter all of the related tags.
  470. Exception if filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
  471. Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
  472. levels anymore.
  473. If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
  474. is also used as a filter.
  475. *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
  476. Now uses the argument arg and optional argument exclude instead of
  477. strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
  478. makes more sense than strip now. The term narrowing is changed to
  479. exclude.
  480. The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
  481. filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
  482. *** Babel: support for sed scripts
  483. Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
  484. *** Babel: support for Processing language
  485. New ob-processing.el library.
  486. This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
  487. of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
  488. external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
  489. Check the documentation for more.
  490. Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
  491. *** New behaviour for `org-toggle-latex-fragment'
  492. The new behaviour is the following:
  493. - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument
  494. when point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the
  495. whole buffer;
  496. - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
  497. subtree;
  498. - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
  499. - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
  500. *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  501. The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
  502. instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
  503. *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  504. Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
  505. possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
  506. more information.
  507. *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
  508. One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
  509. which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
  510. ~org-drawers~ variable.
  511. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
  512. Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
  513. mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
  514. "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
  515. configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
  516. *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
  517. If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
  518. argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
  519. representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
  520. default is =hline=.
  521. *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
  522. For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
  523. in a source block.
  524. *** New option in ASCII export
  525. Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
  526. ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
  527. *** New blocks in ASCII export
  528. ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
  529. =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
  530. *** More back-end specific publishing options
  531. The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
  532. increased. See manual for details.
  533. *** Export inline source blocks
  534. Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
  535. now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
  536. in the output, depending on the parameters.
  537. *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
  538. These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
  539. *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
  540. *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
  541. *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
  542. This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
  543. more features. See docstring for details.
  544. *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
  545. *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
  546. Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
  547. document, befor wrapping it within the template.
  548. *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
  549. : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
  550. : #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  551. : This sentence is false.
  552. : #+END_EXAMPLE
  553. will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
  554. *** Various improvements on radio tables
  555. Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
  556. ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
  557. parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
  558. new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
  559. ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
  560. docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
  561. *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
  562. It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
  563. source blocks exported by the minted package.
  564. *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
  565. Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
  566. would throw an error. A new variable
  567. ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
  568. behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
  569. with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
  570. *** ASCII plot
  571. Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
  572. for details.
  573. *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
  574. This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
  575. on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
  576. *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
  577. When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
  578. *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
  579. This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
  580. now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
  581. special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
  582. *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  583. See docstring for more information.
  584. *** Export unnumbered headlines
  585. Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
  586. exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
  587. property is inherited by children.
  588. *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
  589. It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
  590. through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
  591. keys, to sort a table.
  592. *** Table of contents can be local to a section
  593. The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See
  594. manual for details.
  595. *** Countdown timers can now be paused
  596. ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
  597. countdown timers.
  598. *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
  599. When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
  600. displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
  601. *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
  602. It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
  603. ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
  604. *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
  605. It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
  606. ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
  607. manual for details.
  608. *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
  609. It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
  610. title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
  611. *** New entities family: "\_ "
  612. "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
  613. back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
  614. leading spaces within table cells.
  615. *** New MathJax configuration options
  616. Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
  617. of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
  618. *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
  619. When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
  620. `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
  621. `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
  622. However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
  623. =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
  624. value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
  625. keywords and properties.
  626. *** Viewport support in html export
  627. Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
  628. when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
  629. *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
  630. Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
  631. for details.
  632. *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
  633. Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
  634. allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in
  635. a dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
  636. *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
  637. Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
  638. added to headline text.
  639. *** Support for images in Texinfo export
  640. ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See manual for details.
  641. *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
  642. Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
  643. of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
  644. =#+TOC= keyword.
  645. *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
  646. In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
  647. set using the hh:mm:ss format.
  648. *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
  649. ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for
  650. the number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original
  651. subtree and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
  652. *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
  653. It encompasses all past closed clocks.
  654. *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
  655. See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
  656. ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
  657. *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
  658. *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
  659. ** Removed functions
  660. *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
  661. Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
  662. *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
  663. This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
  664. current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
  665. it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
  666. accessible from the export dispatcher.
  667. *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
  668. ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
  669. *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
  670. This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
  671. references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
  672. *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
  673. The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
  674. optional argument.
  675. *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
  676. These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
  677. anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
  678. ** Removed options
  679. *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
  680. It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
  681. compatibility.
  682. If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
  683. two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
  684. *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
  685. Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
  686. body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
  687. document instead.
  688. *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
  689. Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
  690. everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
  691. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
  692. This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
  693. at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
  694. value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
  695. To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
  696. this variable locally.
  697. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
  698. This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
  699. styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
  700. be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
  701. compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
  702. anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
  703. *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
  704. Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
  705. would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
  706. removed.
  707. *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
  708. Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
  709. *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
  710. This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
  711. *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
  712. This variable has no effect since August 2009.
  713. *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
  714. MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
  715. end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
  716. ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
  717. ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
  718. *** Removed comment-related filters
  719. ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
  720. ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
  721. anymore.
  722. ** Miscellaneous
  723. *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
  724. ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
  725. *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
  726. Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
  727. =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
  728. *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
  729. As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
  730. footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
  731. labels colliding.
  732. *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
  733. This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
  734. =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
  735. *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
  736. =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
  737. *** Select tests to perform with the build system
  738. The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
  739. regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
  740. This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
  741. particular test failure was introduced.
  742. *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
  743. Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
  744. the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as
  745. well as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~
  746. when ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
  747. *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
  748. New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
  749. Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
  750. *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  751. If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
  752. ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~
  753. now.
  754. *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
  755. This helps spotting wrong links.
  756. * Version 8.2
  757. ** Incompatible changes
  758. *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
  759. This may require two changes in user config.
  760. 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
  761. 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
  762. to remove "sh" and include "shell".
  763. *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
  764. Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
  765. 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
  766. need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
  767. Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
  768. =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
  769. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
  770. with this:
  771. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  772. *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
  773. Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
  774. t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
  775. option keywords like :html-include-style.
  776. So you need to replace
  777. : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
  778. by
  779. : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
  780. Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
  781. and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
  782. *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
  783. ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
  784. process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
  785. relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
  786. Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
  787. the other optional arguments accordingly.
  788. *** Export back-ends are now structures
  789. Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
  790. communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
  791. now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
  792. of a symbol.
  793. Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
  794. ** Important bugfixes
  795. *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
  796. *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
  797. *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
  798. You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
  799. this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
  800. separator starting a TOTO match string.
  801. ** New features
  802. *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
  803. See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
  804. of the list.
  805. *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
  806. - Support SVG images
  807. - Support for .pgf files
  808. - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
  809. - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
  810. - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
  811. replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
  812. or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
  813. - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
  814. now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
  815. *** New functions for paragraph motion
  816. The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
  817. that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
  818. in a paragraph-like way.
  819. *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  820. Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
  821. dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
  822. leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
  823. preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
  824. check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
  825. *** Anonymous export back-ends
  826. ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
  827. which can then be passed to export functions like
  828. ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
  829. It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
  830. registering a new back-end.
  831. *** New agenda fortnight view
  832. The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
  833. views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
  834. ** New options
  835. *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
  836. This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
  837. *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
  838. This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
  839. See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
  840. *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
  841. This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
  842. the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
  843. Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
  844. allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
  845. library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
  846. so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
  847. t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
  848. of =ox-rss.el=.
  849. *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
  850. This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
  851. *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
  852. This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
  853. *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
  854. See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
  855. *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
  856. If you set this to the following
  857. : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
  858. then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
  859. *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
  860. This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
  861. =C-o= in tables.
  862. ** New contributed packages
  863. - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
  864. export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
  865. software.
  866. - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
  867. screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
  868. ** Miscellaneous
  869. *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
  870. "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
  871. starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
  872. a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
  873. the same with example blocks.
  874. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
  875. release.
  876. * Version 8.0.1
  877. ** Installation
  878. Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
  879. If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
  880. instructions:
  881. - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
  882. =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
  883. customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
  884. - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
  885. correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
  886. only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
  887. the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
  888. detailed explanations.
  889. - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
  890. you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
  891. function has been called already.
  892. When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
  893. installation.
  894. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
  895. ** Incompatible changes
  896. Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
  897. If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
  898. If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
  899. you will have to update them.
  900. Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
  901. See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
  902. this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
  903. **** New export engine
  904. Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
  905. export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
  906. already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
  907. /all/ export back-ends.
  908. The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
  909. keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
  910. built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
  911. directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
  912. [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
  913. More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
  914. corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
  915. If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
  916. rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
  917. option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
  918. manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
  919. **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
  920. : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
  921. should now be written
  922. : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
  923. Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
  924. respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
  925. each backend. See Org's manual for details.
  926. **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
  927. You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
  928. Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
  929. now fully removed.
  930. Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
  931. remember templates into capture templates.
  932. **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
  933. If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
  934. will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
  935. **** Note for third-party developers
  936. The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
  937. prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
  938. files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
  939. If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
  940. code.
  941. **** Packages moved from core to contrib
  942. Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
  943. to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
  944. moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
  945. The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
  946. is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
  947. included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
  948. user-base.
  949. - org-colview-xemacs.el
  950. - org-mac-message.el
  951. - org-mew.el
  952. - org-wl.el
  953. - ox-freedmind.el
  954. - ox-taskjuggler.el
  955. Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
  956. ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
  957. ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
  958. Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
  959. wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
  960. ** New packages in core
  961. *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
  962. =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
  963. *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
  964. =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
  965. *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
  966. =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
  967. vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
  968. *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
  969. =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
  970. ** New packages in contrib
  971. *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
  972. [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
  973. =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
  974. code.
  975. *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
  976. [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
  977. software, written entirely in the C programming language.
  978. ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
  979. entries.
  980. *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
  981. ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
  982. *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
  983. Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
  984. Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
  985. for starting headlines.
  986. *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
  987. ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
  988. locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
  989. the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
  990. [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
  991. *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
  992. ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
  993. *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
  994. [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
  995. presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  996. using =deck.js=.
  997. [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
  998. presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  999. using =s5=.
  1000. *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
  1001. The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
  1002. plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
  1003. output.
  1004. Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
  1005. conversion from Org files to groff.
  1006. *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
  1007. This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
  1008. *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
  1009. This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
  1010. with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
  1011. entirely with Org.
  1012. ** New features
  1013. *** Export
  1014. **** New export generic options
  1015. If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
  1016. it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
  1017. Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
  1018. - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
  1019. =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
  1020. You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
  1021. file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
  1022. - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
  1023. =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
  1024. now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
  1025. [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
  1026. new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
  1027. set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
  1028. standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
  1029. contains time-stamps.
  1030. To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
  1031. Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
  1032. the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
  1033. **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
  1034. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
  1035. **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
  1036. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
  1037. **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
  1038. **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
  1039. **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
  1040. *** Structure editing
  1041. **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
  1042. **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
  1043. [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
  1044. prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
  1045. **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
  1046. This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
  1047. would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
  1048. create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
  1049. an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
  1050. region.
  1051. **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
  1052. In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
  1053. _words__= will preserve markup.
  1054. **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
  1055. This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
  1056. is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
  1057. can slow down the flow of editing too much.
  1058. **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
  1059. These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
  1060. speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
  1061. **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
  1062. These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
  1063. now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
  1064. =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
  1065. forward and backward.
  1066. **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
  1067. **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
  1068. Now Org will sort this list
  1069. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  1070. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  1071. like this:
  1072. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  1073. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  1074. by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
  1075. Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
  1076. **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
  1077. For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
  1078. =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
  1079. states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
  1080. In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
  1081. local variable.
  1082. **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
  1083. The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
  1084. When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
  1085. time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
  1086. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
  1087. This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
  1088. restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
  1089. The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
  1090. restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
  1091. option to =nil=.
  1092. **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
  1093. When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
  1094. removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
  1095. information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
  1096. If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
  1097. TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
  1098. **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
  1099. This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
  1100. The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
  1101. fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
  1102. : #+attr_html: :width 300px
  1103. *** Scheduled/deadline
  1104. **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
  1105. If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
  1106. now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
  1107. task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
  1108. from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
  1109. Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
  1110. you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
  1111. display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
  1112. to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
  1113. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
  1114. occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
  1115. occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
  1116. and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
  1117. control this globally or per agenda.
  1118. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
  1119. See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
  1120. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
  1121. =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
  1122. *** Calendar, diary and appts
  1123. **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
  1124. By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
  1125. normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
  1126. the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
  1127. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1128. ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
  1129. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
  1130. ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
  1131. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
  1132. (kbd "@")
  1133. (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
  1134. #+END_SRC
  1135. **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
  1136. This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
  1137. appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
  1138. call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
  1139. **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
  1140. [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
  1141. in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
  1142. only show their description, not the full links.
  1143. *** Agenda
  1144. **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
  1145. When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
  1146. list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
  1147. want to build a list of appointments.
  1148. You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
  1149. each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
  1150. Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
  1151. : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
  1152. This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
  1153. time value (i.e. appointments).
  1154. **** New agenda sorting strategies
  1155. [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
  1156. | Strategy | Explanations |
  1157. |----------------+------------------------------------------|
  1158. | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
  1159. | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
  1160. | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
  1161. | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
  1162. | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
  1163. | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
  1164. | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
  1165. | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
  1166. | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
  1167. | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
  1168. **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
  1169. You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
  1170. different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
  1171. while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
  1172. These new options are available:
  1173. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
  1174. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
  1175. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
  1176. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
  1177. For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
  1178. view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
  1179. without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
  1180. When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
  1181. to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
  1182. no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
  1183. to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
  1184. show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
  1185. non-tagged headlines.
  1186. **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
  1187. You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
  1188. regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
  1189. example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
  1190. that take only =N= minutes.
  1191. **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
  1192. You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
  1193. == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
  1194. [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
  1195. **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
  1196. Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
  1197. filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
  1198. **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
  1199. You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
  1200. headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
  1201. This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
  1202. list of notes.
  1203. **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
  1204. It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
  1205. your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
  1206. =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
  1207. This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
  1208. change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
  1209. **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
  1210. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
  1211. to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
  1212. This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
  1213. **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
  1214. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
  1215. display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
  1216. outline tree.
  1217. **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
  1218. =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
  1219. overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
  1220. asks for a confirmation.
  1221. **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
  1222. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
  1223. the mark of the entry at point.
  1224. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
  1225. toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
  1226. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
  1227. This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
  1228. E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
  1229. level 1.
  1230. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
  1231. This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
  1232. options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
  1233. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
  1234. This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
  1235. entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
  1236. **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
  1237. The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
  1238. it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
  1239. [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
  1240. string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
  1241. **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  1242. When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
  1243. =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
  1244. repeated beyond the current deadline.
  1245. **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
  1246. This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
  1247. which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
  1248. prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
  1249. deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
  1250. Read the full docstring for details.
  1251. **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
  1252. For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
  1253. : * Task
  1254. : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
  1255. *** Capture
  1256. **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
  1257. With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
  1258. point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
  1259. capture template.
  1260. **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
  1261. If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
  1262. expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
  1263. **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
  1264. [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  1265. allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
  1266. be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
  1267. check against the name of the buffer.
  1268. *** Tag groups
  1269. Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
  1270. (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
  1271. headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
  1272. of those tags.)
  1273. You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
  1274. agenda views, and for filtering.
  1275. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
  1276. *** Links
  1277. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
  1278. Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
  1279. other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
  1280. through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
  1281. Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
  1282. as if the protocol was not known.
  1283. You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
  1284. **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
  1285. Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
  1286. Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
  1287. RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
  1288. active.
  1289. **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
  1290. =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
  1291. description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
  1292. with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
  1293. **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
  1294. When storing a link to a headline like
  1295. : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
  1296. [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
  1297. It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
  1298. there is no description.
  1299. *** Table
  1300. **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
  1301. If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
  1302. apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
  1303. those other formulas.
  1304. **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
  1305. If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
  1306. [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
  1307. mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
  1308. the end.
  1309. **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
  1310. If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
  1311. english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
  1312. internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
  1313. doing computation.
  1314. **** New lookup functions
  1315. There are now three lookup functions:
  1316. - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
  1317. - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
  1318. - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
  1319. See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
  1320. *** Startup keywords
  1321. These new startup keywords are now available:
  1322. | Startup keyword | Option |
  1323. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1324. | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
  1325. | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
  1326. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1327. | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
  1328. | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
  1329. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1330. | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
  1331. | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
  1332. *** Clocking
  1333. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
  1334. E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
  1335. clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
  1336. 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
  1337. your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
  1338. **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
  1339. When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
  1340. day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
  1341. for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
  1342. the clocktable.
  1343. See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
  1344. [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
  1345. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
  1346. This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
  1347. milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
  1348. **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
  1349. When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
  1350. option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
  1351. [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
  1352. **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
  1353. **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
  1354. **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
  1355. **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
  1356. **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
  1357. **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
  1358. **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
  1359. *** Babel
  1360. **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
  1361. This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
  1362. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
  1363. This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
  1364. same target than the block at point.
  1365. **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
  1366. When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
  1367. in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
  1368. file under the same directory than the base Org file.
  1369. When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
  1370. the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
  1371. time.
  1372. **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
  1373. This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
  1374. code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
  1375. manual for a usage example.
  1376. **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
  1377. If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
  1378. the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
  1379. collecting blocks for tangling.
  1380. **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
  1381. **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
  1382. Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
  1383. cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
  1384. **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
  1385. **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
  1386. When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
  1387. instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
  1388. *** Faces
  1389. - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
  1390. - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
  1391. - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
  1392. - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags
  1393. ** Miscellaneous
  1394. - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
  1395. - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
  1396. - [[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]]
  1397. - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
  1398. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  1399. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  1400. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  1401. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
  1402. - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
  1403. - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
  1404. - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
  1405. - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
  1406. - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
  1407. - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
  1408. - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
  1409. - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
  1410. - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
  1411. - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports MacOSX version up to 10.8
  1412. - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
  1413. ** Outside Org
  1414. *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
  1415. David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
  1416. You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
  1417. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  1418. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  1419. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  1420. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  1421. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  1422. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  1423. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  1424. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  1425. found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  1426. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
  1427. - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
  1428. - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
  1429. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  1430. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  1431. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  1432. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  1433. * Version 7.9.3
  1434. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  1435. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  1436. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  1437. agenda views.)
  1438. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  1439. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  1440. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  1441. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  1442. agenda type to this variable.
  1443. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  1444. generation.
  1445. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  1446. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  1447. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  1448. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  1449. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  1450. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  1451. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  1452. invisible) blocked tasks.
  1453. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  1454. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  1455. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  1456. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  1457. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  1458. ** No GPL manual anymore
  1459. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  1460. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  1461. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  1462. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  1463. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  1464. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  1465. in most environments.
  1466. * Version 7.9.2
  1467. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  1468. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  1469. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1470. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  1471. #+END_SRC
  1472. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  1473. available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  1474. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  1475. directory.)
  1476. See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
  1477. ** Overview of the new keybindings
  1478. | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
  1479. |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|

  1493. ** New package and Babel language
  1494. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  1495. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  1496. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  1497. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  1498. ** Incompatible changes
  1499. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  1500. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  1501. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  1502. instead.
  1503. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  1504. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  1505. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  1506. ** New features and user-visible changes
  1507. *** Org Element
  1508. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  1509. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  1510. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  1511. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  1512. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  1513. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  1514. See the docstrings for more details.
  1515. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  1516. on =org-element.el=.
  1517. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  1518. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  1519. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  1520. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  1521. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  1522. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  1523. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  1524. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  1525. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  1526. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  1527. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  1528. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  1529. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  1530. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  1531. elements.
  1532. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  1533. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  1534. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  1535. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  1536. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  1537. item. Etc.
  1538. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  1539. the whole list.
  1540. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  1541. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  1542. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  1543. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  1544. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  1545. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  1546. the same level.
  1547. *** Org Agenda
  1548. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  1549. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  1550. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  1551. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  1552. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  1553. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  1554. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  1555. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  1556. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  1557. generating new ones.
  1558. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  1559. agenda buffer.
  1560. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  1561. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1562. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  1563. to this value
  1564. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1565. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  1566. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  1567. #+END_SRC
  1568. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  1569. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  1570. details on how to use this.
  1571. **** Changes in bulk actions
  1572. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  1573. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  1574. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  1575. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  1576. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  1577. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  1578. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  1579. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  1580. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  1581. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  1582. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  1583. =t=.
  1584. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  1585. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  1586. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  1587. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  1588. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  1589. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  1590. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  1591. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  1592. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  1593. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  1594. =f= or =w=).
  1595. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  1596. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  1597. of deadline.
  1598. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  1599. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  1600. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  1601. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  1602. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  1603. several times.
  1604. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  1605. See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  1606. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  1607. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  1608. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  1609. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  1610. filters and category filters.
  1611. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  1612. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  1613. configuration.
  1614. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  1615. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  1616. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  1617. point.
  1618. *** Org Links
  1619. **** Inserting links
  1620. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  1621. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  1622. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  1623. want to insert.
  1624. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  1625. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  1626. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  1627. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  1628. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  1629. highlighted.
  1630. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  1631. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  1632. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  1633. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  1634. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  1635. **** New link type =help=
  1636. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  1637. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  1638. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  1639. you go back to the same buffer.
  1640. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  1641. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  1642. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  1643. =org-stored-links=.
  1644. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  1645. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  1646. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  1647. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  1648. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  1649. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  1650. *** Org Editing
  1651. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  1652. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  1653. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  1654. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  1655. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  1656. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  1657. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  1658. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  1659. all headlines in the region.
  1660. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  1661. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  1662. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  1663. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  1664. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  1665. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  1666. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  1667. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  1668. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  1669. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  1670. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  1671. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  1672. undo RET=.
  1673. *** Org Clock
  1674. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  1675. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  1676. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  1677. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  1678. clocked entry, if any.
  1679. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  1680. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  1681. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  1682. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  1683. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  1684. out.
  1685. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  1686. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  1687. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  1688. arguments).
  1689. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  1690. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  1691. in.
  1692. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  1693. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  1694. cells in clockreport.
  1695. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  1696. time cells in clockreport.
  1697. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  1698. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  1699. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1700. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  1701. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1702. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  1703. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  1704. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  1705. space in the frame title.
  1706. *** Org Appearance
  1707. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  1708. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  1709. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  1710. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  1711. don't want to see temporarily.
  1712. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  1713. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  1714. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  1715. There are these new entities:
  1716. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  1717. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  1718. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  1719. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  1720. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  1721. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  1722. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  1723. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  1724. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  1725. The face is back to a normal height.
  1726. *** Org Columns
  1727. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  1728. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  1729. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  1730. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  1731. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  1732. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  1733. block will use its value as the column format.
  1734. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  1735. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  1736. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  1737. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  1738. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  1739. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  1740. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  1741. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  1742. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  1743. You can now use
  1744. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  1745. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  1746. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  1747. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  1748. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  1749. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  1750. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  1751. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  1752. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  1753. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  1754. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  1755. *** Org Capture
  1756. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  1757. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  1758. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  1759. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  1760. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  1761. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  1762. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1763. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  1764. set to this value
  1765. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1766. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  1767. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  1768. #+END_SRC
  1769. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  1770. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  1771. more details on how to use this.
  1772. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  1773. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  1774. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  1775. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  1776. =nil=.
  1777. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  1778. See the manual for more explanations.
  1779. **** More control over empty lines
  1780. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  1781. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  1782. explanations.
  1783. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  1784. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  1785. *** Org Export
  1786. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  1787. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  1788. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  1789. available) to print beautiful tables.
  1790. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  1791. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  1792. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  1793. the table.
  1794. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  1795. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  1796. in the #+DATE option.
  1797. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  1798. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  1799. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  1800. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  1801. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  1802. More languages are always welcome.
  1803. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  1804. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  1805. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  1806. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  1807. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  1808. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  1809. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  1810. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  1811. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  1812. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  1813. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  1814. *** Org Babel
  1815. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  1816. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  1817. supported.
  1818. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  1819. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  1820. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  1821. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  1822. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  1823. It used to exports the results of the code.
  1824. *** Miscellaneous
  1825. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  1826. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  1827. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  1828. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  1829. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  1830. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  1831. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  1832. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  1833. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  1834. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  1835. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  1836. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  1837. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  1838. alarm.
  1839. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  1840. This will increment the effort value.
  1841. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  1842. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  1843. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  1844. attach symbolic links.
  1845. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  1846. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  1847. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  1848. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  1849. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  1850. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  1851. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  1852. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  1853. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  1854. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  1855. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  1856. all top level list items.
  1857. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  1858. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  1859. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  1860. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  1861. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  1862. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  1863. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  1864. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  1865. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  1866. first headline in the region.
  1867. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  1868. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  1869. agenda.
  1870. ** Important bug fixes
  1871. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  1872. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  1873. perform completion with meaningful values.
  1874. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  1875. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  1876. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  1877. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  1878. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  1879. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  1880. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  1881. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  1882. license.
  1883. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  1884. the code and the license to your needs.
  1885. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  1886. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  1887. * Version 7.8.11
  1888. ** Incompatible changes
  1889. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  1890. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  1891. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  1892. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  1893. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  1894. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  1895. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  1896. last-minute save.
  1897. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  1898. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  1899. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  1900. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  1901. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  1902. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  1903. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  1904. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  1905. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  1906. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  1907. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  1908. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  1909. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  1910. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  1911. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  1912. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  1913. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  1914. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  1915. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  1916. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  1917. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  1918. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  1919. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  1920. #+end_src
  1921. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  1922. setup./
  1923. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  1924. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  1925. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  1926. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  1927. The two new variables are:
  1928. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  1929. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  1930. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  1931. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  1932. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  1933. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  1934. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  1935. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  1936. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  1937. classes.
  1938. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  1939. document are:
  1940. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  1941. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  1942. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  1943. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  1944. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  1945. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  1946. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  1947. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  1948. #+begin_example
  1949. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  1950. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  1951. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  1952. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  1953. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  1954. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  1955. #+end_example
  1956. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  1957. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  1958. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  1959. applies to the following packages:
  1960. - inputenc
  1961. - fontenc
  1962. - fixltx2e
  1963. - graphicx
  1964. - longtable
  1965. - float
  1966. - wrapfig
  1967. - soul
  1968. - t1enc
  1969. - textcomp
  1970. - marvosym
  1971. - wasysym
  1972. - latexsym
  1973. - amssymb
  1974. - hyperref
  1975. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  1976. you are using, you can remove it from
  1977. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  1978. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  1979. properly.
  1980. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  1981. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  1982. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  1983. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  1984. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  1985. the header.
  1986. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  1987. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  1988. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  1989. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  1990. code using it.
  1991. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  1992. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  1993. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  1994. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  1995. ** Important new features
  1996. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  1997. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  1998. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  1999. for more information on how to customize it.
  2000. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  2001. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  2002. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  2003. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  2004. section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  2005. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  2006. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  2007. [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  2008. To switch over to the new system:
  2009. 1. Run
  2010. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  2011. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  2012. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  2013. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  2014. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  2015. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  2016. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  2017. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  2018. customization.
  2019. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  2020. with org-remember:
  2021. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  2022. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  2023. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  2024. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  2025. with using both system in parallel.
  2026. ** New libraries
  2027. *** New Org libraries
  2028. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  2029. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  2030. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  2031. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  2032. To use, put the following in your init file:
  2033. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  2034. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  2035. #+END_EXAMPLE
  2036. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  2037. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  2038. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  2039. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  2040. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  2041. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  2042. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  2043. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  2044. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  2045. anything.
  2046. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  2047. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  2048. He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  2049. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  2050. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  2051. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  2052. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  2053. /org-ctags.el/.
  2054. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  2055. call function to do something special with text links.
  2056. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  2057. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  2058. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  2059. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  2060. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  2061. Org-mode manual:
  2062. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  2063. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  2064. *** New Babel libraries
  2065. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  2066. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  2067. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  2068. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  2069. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  2070. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  2071. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  2072. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  2073. *** Hyperlinks
  2074. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  2075. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  2076. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  2077. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  2078. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  2079. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  2080. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  2081. The key new functions are
  2082. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  2083. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  2084. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  2085. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  2086. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  2087. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  2088. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  2089. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  2090. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  2091. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  2092. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  2093. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  2094. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  2095. **** Modified link escaping
  2096. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  2097. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  2098. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  2099. : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
  2100. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  2101. : link).
  2102. :
  2103. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  2104. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  2105. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  2106. : percent escaped links are solved.
  2107. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  2108. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  2109. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  2110. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  2111. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  2112. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  2113. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  2114. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  2115. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  2116. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  2117. string to be executed.
  2118. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  2119. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  2120. to org-file-apps:
  2121. #+begin_example
  2122. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  2123. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  2124. #+end_example
  2125. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  2126. *** Dates and time
  2127. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  2128. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  2129. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  2130. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  2131. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  2132. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  2133. will work on the current entry.
  2134. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  2135. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  2136. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  2137. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  2138. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  2139. #+begin_example
  2140. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  2141. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  2142. #+end_example
  2143. *** Agenda
  2144. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  2145. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  2146. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  2147. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  2148. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  2149. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  2150. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  2151. entries using a function.
  2152. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  2153. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  2154. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  2155. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  2156. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  2157. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  2158. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  2159. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  2160. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  2161. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  2162. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  2163. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  2164. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  2165. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  2166. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  2167. *** Exporting
  2168. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  2169. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  2170. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  2171. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  2172. docstring of these variable for details about available
  2173. %-sequences.
  2174. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  2175. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  2176. formatting string will insert a string.
  2177. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  2178. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  2179. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  2180. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  2181. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  2182. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  2183. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  2184. C-e u=, respectively.
  2185. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  2186. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  2187. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  2188. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  2189. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  2190. your preference.
  2191. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  2192. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  2193. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  2194. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  2195. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  2196. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  2197. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  2198. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  2199. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  2200. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  2201. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  2202. section]] in the manual for more details.
  2203. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  2204. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  2205. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  2206. individual could.
  2207. *** Refiling
  2208. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  2209. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  2210. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  2211. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  2212. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  2213. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  2214. **** New logging support for refiling
  2215. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  2216. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  2217. =org-log-refile=.
  2218. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  2219. *** Completion
  2220. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  2221. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  2222. *** Tables
  2223. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  2224. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  2225. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  2226. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  2227. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  2228. the displayed in the buffer.
  2229. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  2230. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  2231. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  2232. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  2233. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  2234. |--------+--------+---------|
  2235. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  2236. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  2237. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  2238. optional.
  2239. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  2240. feedback on this.
  2241. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  2242. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  2243. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  2244. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  2245. : things like
  2246. :
  2247. : @3=
  2248. : @2$2..@5$7=
  2249. : @I$2..@II$4=
  2250. :
  2251. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  2252. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  2253. : table.
  2254. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  2255. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  2256. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  2257. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  2258. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  2259. *** Lists
  2260. **** Improved handling of lists
  2261. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  2262. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  2263. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  2264. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  2265. indented than it.
  2266. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  2267. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  2268. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  2269. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  2270. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  2271. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  2272. `org-list-export-context'.
  2273. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  2274. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  2275. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  2276. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  2277. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  2278. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  2279. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  2280. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  2281. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  2282. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  2283. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  2284. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  2285. *** Inline display of linked images
  2286. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  2287. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  2288. that have no description part will be inlined.
  2289. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  2290. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  2291. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  2292. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  2293. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  2294. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  2295. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  2296. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  2297. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  2298. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  2299. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  2300. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  2301. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  2302. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  2303. tangling
  2304. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  2305. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  2306. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  2307. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  2308. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  2309. properties or in tables.
  2310. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  2311. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  2312. names, and rownames across all languages.
  2313. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  2314. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  2315. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  2316. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  2317. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  2318. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  2319. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  2320. request by Scott Otterson.
  2321. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  2322. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  2323. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  2324. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  2325. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  2326. superscripts, see the variable
  2327. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  2328. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  2329. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  2330. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  2331. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  2332. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  2333. following new faces:
  2334. =org-document-title=
  2335. =org-document-info=
  2336. =org-document-info-keyword=
  2337. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  2338. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  2339. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  2340. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  2341. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  2342. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  2343. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  2344. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  2345. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  2346. property is affected by this setting.
  2347. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  2348. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  2349. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  2350. Requested by Michael Brand.
  2351. **** Better level cycling function
  2352. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  2353. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  2354. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  2355. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  2356. **** Adaptive filling
  2357. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  2358. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  2359. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  2360. comments to be filled correctly.
  2361. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  2362. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  2363. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  2364. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  2365. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  2366. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  2367. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  2368. *** Clocking
  2369. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  2370. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  2371. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  2372. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  2373. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  2374. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  2375. **** Localized clock tables
  2376. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  2377. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  2378. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  2379. available translated strings.
  2380. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  2381. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  2382. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  2383. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  2384. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  2385. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  2386. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  2387. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  2388. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  2389. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  2390. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  2391. =nil=.
  2392. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  2393. *** Misc
  2394. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  2395. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  2396. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  2397. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  2398. **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  2399. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  2400. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  2401. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  2402. property) back.
  2403. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  2404. change.
  2405. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  2406. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  2407. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  2408. #+begin_example
  2409. org-table-get
  2410. org-table-put
  2411. org-table-current-line
  2412. org-table-goto-line
  2413. #+end_example
  2414. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  2415. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  2416. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  2417. node.
  2418. This was requested by Tom.
  2419. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  2420. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  2421. example by viewing from the agenda.
  2422. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
