  7. * Version 8.3
  8. ** Removed options
  9. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
  10. This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
  11. at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
  12. value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
  13. To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
  14. this variable locally.
  15. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
  16. This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
  17. styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
  18. be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
  19. compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
  20. anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
  21. ** New features
  22. *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  23. The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
  24. instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
  25. *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
  26. If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
  27. argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
  28. representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
  29. default is =hline=.
  30. ** Miscellaneous
  31. *** Select tests to perform with the build system
  32. The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
  33. regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
  34. This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
  35. particular test failure was introduced.
  36. * Version 8.2
  37. ** Incompatible changes
  38. *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
  39. This may require two changes in user config.
  40. 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
  41. 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
  42. to remove "sh" and include "shell".
  43. *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
  44. Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
  45. 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
  46. need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
  47. Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
  48. =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
  49. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
  50. with this:
  51. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  52. *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
  53. Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
  54. t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
  55. option keywords like :html-include-style.
  56. So you need to replace
  57. : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
  58. by
  59. : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
  60. Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
  61. and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
  62. *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
  63. ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
  64. process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
  65. relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
  66. Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
  67. the other optional arguments accordingly.
  68. *** Export back-ends are now structures
  69. Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
  70. communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
  71. now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
  72. of a symbol.
  73. Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
  74. ** Important bugfixes
  75. *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
  76. *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
  77. *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
  78. You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
  79. this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
  80. separator starting a TOTO match string.
  81. ** New features
  82. *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
  83. See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
  84. of the list.
  85. *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
  86. - Support SVG images
  87. - Support for .pgf files
  88. - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
  89. - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
  90. - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
  91. replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
  92. or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
  93. - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
  94. now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
  95. *** New functions for paragraph motion
  96. The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
  97. that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
  98. in a paragraph-like way.
  99. *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  100. Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
  101. dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
  102. leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
  103. preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
  104. check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
  105. *** Anonymous export back-ends
  106. ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
  107. which can then be passed to export functions like
  108. ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
  109. It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
  110. registering a new back-end.
  111. *** New agenda fortnight view
  112. The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
  113. views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
  114. ** New options
  115. *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
  116. This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
  117. *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
  118. This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
  119. See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
  120. *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
  121. This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
  122. the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
  123. Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
  124. allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
  125. library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
  126. so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
  127. t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
  128. of =ox-rss.el=.
  129. *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
  130. This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
  131. *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
  132. This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
  133. *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
  134. See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
  135. *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
  136. If you set this to the following
  137. : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
  138. then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
  139. *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
  140. This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
  141. =C-o= in tables.
  142. ** New contributed packages
  143. - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
  144. export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
  145. software.
  146. - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
  147. screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
  148. ** Miscellaneous
  149. *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
  150. "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
  151. starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
  152. a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
  153. the same with example blocks.
  154. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
  155. release.
  156. * Version 8.0.1
  157. ** Installation
  158. Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
  159. If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
  160. instructions:
  161. - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
  162. =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
  163. customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
  164. - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
  165. correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
  166. only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
  167. the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
  168. detailed explanations.
  169. - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
  170. you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
  171. function has been called already.
  172. When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
  173. installation.
  174. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
  175. ** Incompatible changes
  176. Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
  177. If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
  178. If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
  179. you will have to update them.
  180. Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
  181. See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
  182. this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
  183. **** New export engine
  184. Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
  185. export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
  186. already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
  187. /all/ export back-ends.
  188. The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
  189. keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
  190. built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
  191. directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
  192. [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
  193. More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
  194. corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
  195. If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
  196. rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
  197. option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
  198. manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
  199. **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
  200. : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
  201. should now be written
  202. : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
  203. Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
  204. respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
  205. each backend. See Org's manual for details.
  206. **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
  207. You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
  208. Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
  209. now fully removed.
  210. Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
  211. remember templates into capture templates.
  212. **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
  213. If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
  214. will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
  215. **** Note for third-party developers
  216. The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
  217. prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
  218. files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
  219. If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
  220. code.
  221. **** Packages moved from core to contrib
  222. Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
  223. to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
  224. moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
  225. The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
  226. is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
  227. included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
  228. user-base.
  229. - org-colview-xemacs.el
  230. - org-mac-message.el
  231. - org-mew.el
  232. - org-wl.el
  233. - ox-freedmind.el
  234. - ox-taskjuggler.el
  235. Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
  236. ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
  237. ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
  238. Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
  239. wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
  240. ** New packages in core

  263. Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
  264. Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
  265. for starting headlines.
  266. *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
  267. ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
  268. locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
  269. the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
  270. [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
  271. *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
  272. ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
  273. *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
  274. [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
  275. presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  276. using =deck.js=.
  277. [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
  278. presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  279. using =s5=.
  280. *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
  281. The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
  282. plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
  283. output.
  284. Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
  285. conversion from Org files to groff.
  286. *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
  287. This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
  288. *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
  289. This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
  290. with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
  291. entirely with Org.
  292. ** New features
  293. *** Export
  294. **** New export generic options
  295. If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
  296. it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
  297. Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
  298. - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
  299. =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
  300. You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
  301. file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
  302. - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
  303. =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
  304. now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
  305. [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
  306. new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
  307. set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
  308. standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
  309. contains time-stamps.
  310. To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
  311. Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
  312. the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
  313. **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
  314. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
  315. **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
  316. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
  317. **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
  318. **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
  319. **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
  320. *** Structure editing
  321. **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
  322. **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
  323. [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
  324. prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
  325. **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
  326. This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
  327. would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
  328. create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
  329. an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
  330. region.
  331. **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
  332. In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
  333. _words__= will preserve markup.
  334. **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
  335. This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
  336. is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
  337. can slow down the flow of editing too much.
  338. **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
  339. These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
  340. speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
  341. **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
  342. These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
  343. now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
  344. =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
  345. forward and backward.
  346. **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
  347. **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
  348. Now Org will sort this list
  349. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  350. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  351. like this:
  352. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  353. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  354. by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
  355. Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
  356. **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
  357. For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
  358. =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
  359. states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
  360. In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
  361. local variable.
  362. **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
  363. The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
  364. When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
  365. time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
  366. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
  367. This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
  368. restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
  369. The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
  370. restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
  371. option to =nil=.
  372. **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
  373. When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
  374. removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
  375. information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
  376. If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
  377. TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
  378. **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
  379. This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
  380. The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
  381. fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
  382. : #+attr_html: :width 300px
  383. *** Scheduled/deadline
  384. **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
  385. If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
  386. now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
  387. task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
  388. from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
  389. Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
  390. you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
  391. display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
  392. to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
  393. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
  394. occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
  395. occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
  396. and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
  397. control this globally or per agenda.
  398. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
  399. See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
  400. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
  401. =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
  402. *** Calendar, diary and appts
  403. **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
  404. By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
  405. normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
  406. the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
  407. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  408. ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
  409. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
  410. ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
  411. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
  412. (kbd "@")
  413. (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
  414. #+END_SRC
  415. **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
  416. This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
  417. appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
  418. call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
  419. **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
  420. [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
  421. in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
  422. only show their description, not the full links.
  423. *** Agenda
  424. **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
  425. When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
  426. list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
  427. want to build a list of appointments.
  428. You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
  429. each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
  430. Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
  431. : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
  432. This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
  433. time value (i.e. appointments).
  434. **** New agenda sorting strategies
  435. [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
  436. | Strategy | Explanations |
  437. |----------------+------------------------------------------|
  438. | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
  439. | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
  440. | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
  441. | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
  442. | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
  443. | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
  444. | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
  445. | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
  446. | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
  447. | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
  448. **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
  449. You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
  450. different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
  451. while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
  452. These new options are available:
  453. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
  454. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
  455. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
  456. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
  457. For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
  458. view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
  459. without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
  460. When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
  461. to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
  462. no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
  463. to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
  464. show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
  465. non-tagged headlines.
  466. **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
  467. You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
  468. regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
  469. example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
  470. that take only =N= minutes.
  471. **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
  472. You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
  473. == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
  474. [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
  475. **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
  476. Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
  477. filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
  478. **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
  479. You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
  480. headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
  481. This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
  482. list of notes.
  483. **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
  484. It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
  485. your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
  486. =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
  487. This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
  488. change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
  489. **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
  490. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
  491. to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
  492. This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
  493. **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
  494. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
  495. display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
  496. outline tree.
  497. **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
  498. =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
  499. overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
  500. asks for a confirmation.
  501. **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
  502. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
  503. the mark of the entry at point.
  504. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
  505. toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
  506. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
  507. This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
  508. E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
  509. level 1.
  510. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
  511. This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
  512. options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
  513. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
  514. This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
  515. entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
  516. **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
  517. The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
  518. it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
  519. [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
  520. string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
  521. **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  522. When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
  523. =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
  524. repeated beyond the current deadline.
  525. **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
  526. This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
  527. which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
  528. prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
  529. deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
  530. Read the full docstring for details.
  531. **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
  532. For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
  533. : * Task
  534. : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
  535. *** Capture
  536. **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
  537. With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
  538. point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
  539. capture template.
  540. **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
  541. If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
  542. expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
  543. **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
  544. [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  545. allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
  546. be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
  547. check against the name of the buffer.
  548. *** Tag groups
  549. Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
  550. (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
  551. headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
  552. of those tags.)
  553. You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
  554. agenda views, and for filtering.
  555. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
  556. *** Links
  557. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
  558. Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
  559. other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
  560. through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
  561. Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
  562. as if the protocol was not known.
  563. You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
  564. **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
  565. Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
  566. Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
  567. RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
  568. active.
  569. **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
  570. =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
  571. description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
  572. with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
  573. **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
  574. When storing a link to a headline like
  575. : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
  576. [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
  577. It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
  578. there is no description.
  579. *** Table
  580. **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
  581. If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
  582. apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
  583. those other formulas.
  584. **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
  585. If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
  586. [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
  587. mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
  588. the end.
  589. **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
  590. If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
  591. english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
  592. internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
  593. doing computation.
  594. **** New lookup functions
  595. There are now three lookup functions:
  596. - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
  597. - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
  598. - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
  599. See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
  600. *** Startup keywords
  601. These new startup keywords are now available:
  602. | Startup keyword | Option |
  603. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  604. | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
  605. | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
  606. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  607. | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
  608. | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
  609. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  610. | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
  611. | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
  612. *** Clocking
  613. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
  614. E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
  615. clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
  616. 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
  617. your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
  618. **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
  619. When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
  620. day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
  621. for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
  622. the clocktable.
  623. See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
  624. [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
  625. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
  626. This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
  627. milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
  628. **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
  629. When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
  630. option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
  631. [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
  632. **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
  633. **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
  634. **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
  635. **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
  636. **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
  637. **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
  638. **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
  639. *** Babel
  640. **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
  641. This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
  642. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
  643. This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
  644. same target than the block at point.
  645. **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
  646. When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
  647. in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
  648. file under the same directory than the base Org file.
  649. When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
  650. the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
  651. time.
  652. **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
  653. This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
  654. code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
  655. manual for a usage example.
  656. **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
  657. If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
  658. the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
  659. collecting blocks for tangling.
  660. **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
  661. **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
  662. Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
  663. cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
  664. **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
  665. **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
  666. When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
  667. instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
  668. *** Faces
  669. - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
  670. - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
  671. - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
  672. - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags
  673. ** Miscellaneous
  674. - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
  675. - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
  676. - [[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]]
  677. - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
  678. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  679. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  680. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  681. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
  682. - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
  683. - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
  684. - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
  685. - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
  686. - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
  687. - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
  688. - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
  689. - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
  690. - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
  691. - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports MacOSX version up to 10.8
  692. - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
  693. ** Outside Org
  694. *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
  695. David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
  696. You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
  697. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  698. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  699. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  700. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  701. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  702. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  703. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  704. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  705. found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  706. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
  707. - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
  708. - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
  709. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  710. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  711. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  712. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  713. * Version 7.9.3
  714. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  715. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  716. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  717. agenda views.)
  718. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  719. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  720. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  721. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  722. agenda type to this variable.
  723. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  724. generation.
  725. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  726. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  727. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  728. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  729. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  730. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  731. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  732. invisible) blocked tasks.
  733. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  734. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  735. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  736. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  737. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  738. ** No GPL manual anymore
  739. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  740. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  741. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  742. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  743. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  744. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  745. in most environments.
  746. * Version 7.9.2
  747. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  748. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  749. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  750. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  751. #+END_SRC
  752. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  753. available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  754. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  755. directory.)
  756. See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
  757. ** Overview of the new keybindings
  758. | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
  759. |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|
  760. | =C-c C-x C-z= | | [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]] |
  761. | =C-c C-x C-q= | | [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]] |
  762. | =C-c C-x C-x= | | [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] |

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