  8. * Version 9.4 (not yet released)
  9. ** Incompatible changes
  10. *** Python session return values must be top-level expression statements
  11. Python blocks with ~:session :results value~ header arguments now only
  12. return a value if the last line is a top-level expression statement,
  13. otherwise the result is None. Also, None will now show up under
  14. "#+RESULTS:", as it already did with ~:results value~ for non-session
  15. blocks.
  16. *** In HTML export, change on how outline-container-* is set
  17. When the headline has a =CUSTOM_ID=, use this custom id to build the
  18. div id. For example, if you have =:CUSTOM_ID: my-headline= then the
  19. resulting <div> will be ~<div id="outline-container-my-headline">~.
  20. You may want to check whether your HTML files are rendered differently
  21. after this change.
  22. ** New features
  23. *** Looping agenda commands over headlines
  24. ~org-agenda-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region~ allows you to loop
  25. agenda commands over the active region. When set to =t=, loop over
  26. all headlines. When set to ='start-level=, loop over headlines with
  27. the same level than the first headline in the region. When set to a
  28. string, loop over lines matching this regular expression.
  29. *** New minor mode ~org-table-header-line-mode~
  30. Turn on the display of the first data row of the table at point in the
  31. window header line when this first row is not visible anymore in the
  32. buffer.
  33. You can activate this minor mode by default by setting the option
  34. ~org-table-header-line-p~ to =t=. You can also change the face for
  35. the header line by customizing the ~org-table-header~ face.
  36. *** New minor mode ~org-list-checkbox-radio-mode~
  37. When this minor mode is on, checkboxes behave as radio buttons: if a
  38. checkbox is turned on, other checkboxes at the same level are turned
  39. off.
  40. If you want to occasionally toggle a checkbox as a radio button
  41. without turning this minor mode on, you can use =<C-c C-x C-r>= to
  42. call ~org-toggle-radio-button~.
  43. You can also add =#+ATTR_ORG: :radio t= right before the list to tell
  44. Org to use radio buttons for this list only.
  45. *** New allowed value for ~org-adapt-indentation~
  46. ~org-adapt-indentation~ now accepts a new value, ='headline-data=.
  47. When set to this value, Org will only adapt indentation of headline
  48. data lines, such as planning/clock lines and property/logbook drawers.
  49. Also, with this setting, =org-indent-mode= will keep these data lines
  50. correctly aligned with the headline above.
  51. *** Numeric priorities are now allowed (up to 65)
  52. You can now set ~org-priority-highest/lowest/default~ to integers to
  53. use numeric priorities globally or set, for example
  54. #+PRIORITIES: 1 10 5
  55. to define a buffer-local range and default for priorities. Priority
  56. commands should work as usual. You cannot use numbers superior to 64
  57. for numeric priorities, as it would clash with priorities like [#A]
  58. where the "A" is internally converted to its numeric value of 65.
  59. *** Property drawers allowed before first headline
  60. Property drawers are now allowed before the first headline.
  61. Org mode is moving more towards making things before the first
  62. headline behave just as if it was at outline level 0. Inheritance for
  63. properties will work also for this level. In other words: defining
  64. things in a property drawer before the first headline will make them
  65. "inheritable" for all headlines.
  66. *** Refinement in window behavior on exiting Org source buffer
  67. After editing a source block, Org will restore the window layout when
  68. ~org-src-window-setup~ is set to a value that modifies the layout.
  69. *** Display remote inline images
  70. Org now knows how to display remote images inline.
  71. Whether the images are actually displayed is controlled by the new
  72. option ~org-display-remote-inline-images~.
  73. *** New option to resolve open clock at a provided time
  74. ~org-resolve-clocks~ now has a `t' option, which works just like the
  75. `k' option, but the user specifies a time of day, not a number of
  76. minutes.
  77. *** =ob-clojure.el= supports inf-clojure.el and ClojureScript evaluation
  78. You can now use ~(setq org-babel-clojure-backend 'inf-clojure)~ and
  79. evaluate Clojure source blocks using [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/inf-clojure][inf-clojure]].
  80. Also, when using [[https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider][cider]], you can now use =#+begin_src clojurescript= to
  81. execute ClojureScript code from Org files. Note that this works only
  82. your Org file is associated with a cider session that knows how to run
  83. ClojureScript code---a bare =lein repl= session outside of a directory
  84. configured for ClojureScript will /not/ work.
  85. *** =ob-java.el=: you can now pass Java command line arguments
  86. Babel Java blocks recognize header argument =:cmdargs= and pass its
  87. value in call to =java=.
  88. ** New commands
  89. *** ~org-table-header-line-mode~
  90. Turn on a minor mode to display the first data row of the table at
  91. point in the header-line when the beginning of the table is invisible.
  92. *** ~org-datetree-find-month-create~
  93. Find or create a month entry for a date.
  94. *** ~org-columns-toggle-or-columns-quit~
  95. =<C-c C-c>= bound to ~org-columns-toggle-or-columns-quit~ replaces the
  96. recent ~org-columns-set-tags-or-toggle~. Tag setting is still
  97. possible via column view value edit or with =<C-c C-q>=.
  98. *** ~org-agenda-ctrl-c-ctrl-c~
  99. =<C-c C-c>= in agenda calls ~org-agenda-set-tags~.
  100. ** New options
  101. *** New option ~org-clock-auto-clockout-timer~
  102. When this option is set to a number and the user configuration
  103. contains =(org-clock-auto-clockout-insinuate)=, Org will clock out the
  104. currently clocked in task after that number of seconds of idle time.
  105. This is useful when you often forget to clock out before being idle
  106. and don't want to have to manually set the clocking time to take into
  107. account.
  108. *** New option ~org-table-header-line-p~
  109. Setting this option to =t= will activate
  110. ~org-table-header-line-mode~ in org-mode buffers.
  111. *** New option to group captured datetime entries by month
  112. A new `:tree-type month' option was added to org-capture-templates to
  113. group new datetime entries by month.
  114. *** New option to show source buffers using "plain" display-buffer
  115. Added option ~plain~ to ~org-src-window-setup~ to show source buffers
  116. using ~display-buffer~. This allows users to control how source
  117. buffers are displayed by modifying ~display-buffer-alist~ or
  118. ~display-buffer-base-action~.
  119. *** New option ~org-archive-subtree-save-file-p~
  120. Archiving a subtree used to always save the target archive buffer.
  121. Commit [[https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/b186d1d7][b186d1d7]] changed this behavior by always not saving the target
  122. buffer, because batch archiving from agenda could take too much time.
  123. This new option ~org-archive-subtree-save-file-p~ defaults to the
  124. value =from-org= so that archiving a subtree will save the target
  125. buffer when done from an org-mode buffer, but not from the agenda.
  126. You can also set this option to =t= or to =from-agenda=.
  127. *** New option ~org-show-notification-timeout~
  128. This option will add a timeout to notifications.
  129. ** Removed or renamed functions and variables
  130. *** Renamed ~org-columns-set-tags-or-toggle~
  131. See [[*~org-columns-toggle-or-columns-quit~]].
  132. *** Renamed priority options
  133. From ~org-lowest-priority~ to ~org-priority-lowest~.
  134. From ~org-default-priority~ to ~org-priority-default~.
  135. From ~org-highest-priority~ to ~org-priority-highest~.
  136. From ~org-enable-priority-commands~ to ~org-priority-enable-commands~.
  137. From ~org-show-priority~ to ~org-priority-show~.
  138. ** Miscellaneous
  139. *** Duration can be read and written in compact form
  140. ~org-duration-to-minutes~ understands =1d3h5min= as a duration,
  141. whereas ~org-duration-from-minutes~ can output this compact form if
  142. the duration format contains the symbol ~compact~.
  143. *** Fontify whole TODO headlines
  144. This feature is the same as ~org-fontify-done-headline~, but for TODO
  145. headlines instead. This allows you to distinguish TODO headlines from
  146. normal headlines. The face can be customized via ~org-headline-todo~.
  147. *** C-n, C-p, SPC and DEL in agenda commands dispatch window
  148. You can now use =C-n=, =C-p=, =SPC= and =DEL= key to scroll up and
  149. down the agenda and attach dispatch window.
  150. *** =<C-c C-c>= in agenda calls ~org-agenda-set-tags~
  151. Both =<C-c C-q>= and =<C-c C-c>= set the tags of the headline in the
  152. Org buffer. Both keybindings are now available from the agenda too.
  153. *** New option in ~org-attach-store-link-p~
  154. ~org-attach-store-link-p~ has a new option to store a file link to the
  155. attachment.
  156. *** New default value for ~org-file-apps~
  157. The new value uses Emacs as the application for opening directory.
  158. *** Allowed empty HTML extension
  159. Using =(setq org-html-extension "")= or setting the HTML extension in
  160. any fashing will produce the expected output, with no trailing period
  161. to the resulting HTML file.
  162. *** New =org-refile.el= file
  163. Org refile variables and functions have been moved to a new file.
  164. *** The end of a 7 years old bug
  165. This bug [[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-08/msg00072.html][originally reported]] by Matt Lundin and investigated by Andrew
  166. Hyatt has been fixed. Thanks to both of them.
  167. * Version 9.3
  168. ** Incompatible changes
  169. *** Change bracket link escaping syntax
  170. Org used to percent-encode sensitive characters in the URI part of the
  171. bracket links.
  172. Now, escaping mechanism uses the usual backslash character, according
  173. to the following rules:
  174. 1. All =[= and =]= characters in the URI must be escaped;
  175. 2. Every =\= character preceding either =[= or =]= must be escaped;
  176. 3. Every =\= character at the end of the URI must be escaped.
  177. When in doubt, use the function ~org-link-escape~ in order to turn
  178. a link string into its properly escaped form.
  179. The following function will help switching your links to the new
  180. syntax:
  181. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  182. (defun org-update-link-syntax (&optional no-query)
  183. "Update syntax for links in current buffer.
  184. Query before replacing a link, unless optional argument NO-QUERY
  185. is non-nil."
  186. (interactive "P")
  187. (org-with-point-at 1
  188. (let ((case-fold-search t))
  189. (while (re-search-forward "\\[\\[[^]]*?%\\(?:2[05]\\|5[BD]\\)" nil t)
  190. (let ((object (save-match-data (org-element-context))))
  191. (when (and (eq 'link (org-element-type object))
  192. (= (match-beginning 0)
  193. (org-element-property :begin object)))
  194. (goto-char (org-element-property :end object))
  195. (let* ((uri-start (+ 2 (match-beginning 0)))
  196. (uri-end (save-excursion
  197. (goto-char uri-start)
  198. (re-search-forward "\\][][]" nil t)
  199. (match-beginning 0)))
  200. (uri (buffer-substring-no-properties uri-start uri-end)))
  201. (when (or no-query
  202. (y-or-n-p
  203. (format "Possibly obsolete URI syntax: %S. Fix? "
  204. uri)))
  205. (setf (buffer-substring uri-start uri-end)
  206. (org-link-escape (org-link-decode uri)))))))))))
  207. #+end_src
  208. The old ~org-link-escape~ and ~org-link-unescape~ functions have been
  209. renamed into ~org-link-encode~ and ~org-link-decode~.
  210. *** Change match group number in ~org-link-bracket-re~
  211. Link description, if any, is located in match group 2 instead of match
  212. group 3.
  213. *** ob-clojure does not auto prepend ~(ns ..)~ statement anymore
  214. When tangling, user usually just wants to tangle literally code instead
  215. of prepend inserting a ~(ns ..)~ statement before source block
  216. code. Now, when you have no ~:ns~ header argument specified, this
  217. behavior will not happen automatically.
  218. *** Change in behavior on exit from an Org edit buffer
  219. Org will no longer attempt to restore the window configuration in the
  220. frame to which the user returns after editing a source block with
  221. ~org-edit-src-code~. Instead, the window configuration will remain as
  222. it is.
  223. *** Change default value for ~org-email-link-description-format~
  224. When linking from a mail buffer, Org used to truncate the subject of
  225. the message to 30 characters in order to build the description of the
  226. link. This behavior was considered as too surprising. As
  227. a consequence, Org no longer truncates subjects.
  228. You can get the old behavior back with the following:
  229. : (setq org-email-link-description-format "Email %c: %.30s")
  230. *** ~:file~ header argument no longer assume "file" ~:results~
  231. The "file" ~:results~ value is now mandatory for a code block
  232. returning a link to a file. The ~:file~ or ~:file-ext~ header
  233. arguments no longer imply a "file" result is expected.
  234. *** Plain numbers are hours in Column View mode
  235. See [[git:3367ac9457]] for details.
  236. *** All LaTeX preview backends use now xcolor
  237. The dvipng backend was previously relying on fg and bg parameters to
  238. be passed to the CLI. This didn't work when xcolor was directly or
  239. indirectly used in the document (e.g. tkiz is a user of xcolor). Since
  240. every other backend was already using xcolor to set fg and bg, the CLI
  241. alternative was removed and there is no more a :use-xcolor options
  242. since now it's implicitly always true.
  243. *** Org-Attach Git commit
  244. [[*Org-Attach has been refactored and extended][Refactoring of Org-Attach]] affected the Git commit functionality. Not
  245. much, but the following changes are required if you still need to
  246. auto-commit attachments to git:
  247. - Customization of ~org-attach-annex-auto-get~ needs to be renamed to
  248. ~org-attach-git-annex-auto-get~.
  249. - Customization of ~org-attach-commit~ is no longer needed. Instead
  250. one need to require the =org-attach-git= module in the startup.
  251. ** New features
  252. *** New option to wrap source code lines in HTML export
  253. When new option ~html-wrap-src-lines~ (with variable
  254. ~org-html-wrap-src-lines~) is non-nil, HTML export wraps source code
  255. lines in HTML ~code~ elements.
  256. *** New option to handle schedules and deadlines in iCalendar export
  257. Export ignore done tasks with a deadline when
  258. ~org-icalendar-use-deadline~ contains ~event-if-todo-not-done~.
  259. Likewise, scheduled done tasks are also ignored when
  260. ~org-icalendar-use-scheduled~ contains the same symbol.
  261. *** Add ~split-window-right~ option for src block edit window placement
  262. Given the increasing popularity of wide screen monitors, splitting
  263. horizontally may make more sense than splitting vertically. An
  264. option, ~split-window-right~, to request horizontal splitting has been
  265. added to ~org-src-window-setup~.
  266. *** Org-Attach has been refactored and extended
  267. Org attach has been refactored and the functionality extended. It
  268. should now be easier to understand how it works. A few improvements
  269. and extra options have been added as well.
  270. From the initial comment in org-attach source-code:
  271. - Attachments are managed either by using a custom property DIR or by
  272. using property ID from org-id. When DIR is defined, a location in
  273. the filesystem is directly attached to the outline node. When
  274. org-id is used, attachments are stored in a folder named after the
  275. ID, in a location defined by ~org-attach-id-dir~. DIR has
  276. precedence over ID when both parameters are defined for the current
  277. outline node (also when inherited parameters are taken into
  278. account).
  279. From now on inheritance requires no extra property and will adhere to
  280. ~org-attach-use-inheritance~ by default. Inheritance can be
  281. customized to always be activated or never be activated in
  282. ~org-attach-use-inheritance~.
  283. The ATTACH_DIR property is deprecated in favor of the shorter
  284. property DIR. Links to folders inside the DIR property can now be
  285. declared as relative links. This is not enabled by default, but can
  286. be set in ~org-attach-dir-relative~.
  287. When adding new attachment to the outline node the preferred way of
  288. doing so can be customized. Take a look at
  289. ~org-attach-preferred-new-method~. It defaults to using ID since that
  290. was the behavior before this change.
  291. If both DIR and ID properties are set on the same node, DIR has
  292. precedence and will be used.
  293. One can now also choose to build attachment-directory-paths in a
  294. customized way. This is an advanced topic, but in some case it makes
  295. sense to parse an ID in a different way than the default one. Create
  296. your own function and add it to the beginning of
  297. ~org-attach-id-to-path-function~list~ if you want to customize the ID
  298. based folder structure.
  299. If you've used ATTACH_DIR properties to manage attachments, use the
  300. following code to rename that property to DIR which supports the same
  301. functionality. ATTACH_DIR_INHERIT is no longer supported and is
  302. removed.
  303. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  304. (defun org-update-attach-properties ()
  305. "Change properties for Org-Attach."
  306. (interactive)
  307. (org-with-point-at 1
  308. (while (outline-next-heading)
  309. (let ((DIR (org--property-local-values "ATTACH_DIR" nil)))
  310. (when DIR
  311. (org-set-property "DIR" (car DIR))
  312. (org-delete-property "ATTACH_DIR"))))
  313. (org-delete-property-globally "ATTACH_DIR_INHERIT")))
  314. #+end_src
  315. For those who hate breaking changes, even though the changes are made
  316. to clean things up; fear not. ATTACH_DIR will still continue to work.
  317. It's just not documented any longer. When you get the chance, run the
  318. code above to clean things up anyways!
  319. **** New hooks
  320. Two hooks are added to org-attach:
  321. - org-attach-after-change-hook
  322. - org-attach-open-hook
  323. They are added mostly for internal restructuring purposes, but can
  324. ofc. be used for other things as well.
  325. *** New link-type: Attachment
  326. Attachment-links are now first-class citizens. They mimic file-links
  327. in everything they do but use the existing attachment-folder as a base
  328. when expanding the links. Both =DIR= and =ID= properties are used to
  329. try to resolve the links, in exactly the same way as Org-Attach uses
  330. those properties.
  331. *** Handle overlay specification for notes in Beamer export
  332. This aligns Beamer notes with slide overlays.
  333. *** Add support for lettered lists in Texinfo
  334. Using =:enum A= or =:enum a= Texinfo attribute switches an otherwise
  335. numbered list to a lettered list.
  336. *** Add a dispatcher command to insert dynamic blocks
  337. You can add new dynamic blocks with function
  338. ~org-dynamic-block-define~. All such dynamic blocks can be used by
  339. ~org-dynamic-block-insert-dblock~ command.
  340. *** Babel
  341. **** ob-emacs-lisp sets ~lexical-binding~ in Org edit buffers
  342. When editing an Elisp src block, the editing buffer's
  343. ~lexical-binding~ is set according to the src block's =:lexical=
  344. parameter.
  345. **** Add LaTeX output support in PlantUML
  346. *** New minor mode to display headline numbering
  347. Use =<M-x org-num-mode>= to get a visual indication of the numbering
  348. in the outline. The numbering is also automatically updated upon
  349. changes in the buffer.
  350. *** New property =HTML_HEADLINE_CLASS= in HTML export
  351. The new property =HTML_HEADLINE_CLASS= assigns a class attribute to
  352. a headline.
  353. *** Allow LaTeX attributes and captions for "table.el" tables
  354. Supported LaTeX attributes are ~:float~, ~:center~, ~:font~ and
  355. ~:caption~.
  356. *** Attach buffer contents to headline
  357. With =<b>= key from attachment dispatcher (=<C-c C-a>=), it is now
  358. possible to write the contents of a buffer to a file in the headline
  359. attachment directory.
  360. *** iCalendar export respects a =CLASS= property
  361. Set the =CLASS= property on an entry to specify a visibility class for
  362. that entry only during iCalendar export. The property can be set to
  363. anything the calendar server supports. The iCalendar standard defines
  364. the values =PUBLIC=, =CONFIDENTIAL=, =PRIVATE=, which can be
  365. interpreted as publicly visible, accessible to a specific group, and
  366. private respectively.
  367. This property can be inherited during iCalendar export, depending on
  368. the value of ~org-use-property-inheritance~.
  369. *** New parameter for =INCLUDE= keyword
  370. Add =:coding CODING-SYSTEM= to include files using a different coding
  371. system than the main Org document. For example:
  372. #+begin_example
  373. ,#+INCLUDE: "myfile.cmd" src cmd :coding cp850-dos
  374. #+end_example
  375. *** New values in clock tables' step: =month= and =year=
  376. *** ODT export handles numbers cookies in lists
  377. *** New cell movement functions in tables
  378. ~S-<UP>~, ~S-<DOWN>~, ~S-<RIGHT>~, and ~S-<LEFT>~ now move cells in
  379. the corresponding direction by swapping with the adjacent cell.
  380. *** New option to natively fontify LaTeX snippets and environments
  381. A 'native option was added to org-highlight-latex-and-related. It
  382. matches the same structures than 'latex but it calls
  383. org-src-font-lock-fontify-block instead, thus bringing about full
  384. LaTeX font locking.
  385. *** ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ learned to shift backward in time
  386. =<C-c C-x c>= (~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~) now takes a
  387. negative value as a valid repeater to shift time stamps in backward
  388. in cloned subtrees. You can give, for example, ‘-3d’ to shift three
  389. days in the past.
  390. *** Toggle display of all vs. undone scheduled habits conveniently
  391. =<C-u K>= (~org-habit-toggle-display-in-agenda~) in an agenda toggles
  392. the display of all habits to those which are undone and scheduled.
  393. This is a function for convenience.
  394. *** New parameter for SQL Babel blocks: ~:dbconnection~
  395. The new parameter ~:dbconnection~ allows to specify a connection name
  396. in a SQL block header: this name is used to look up connection
  397. parameters in ~sql-connection-alist~.
  398. *** New =:scale= attribute supported by LaTeX exporters
  399. The builtin "latex" exporters now accept and use a =:scale= attribute,
  400. which scales an image by a given factor.
  401. This attribute is wrapped around the =scale= parameter of LaTeX's
  402. =\includegraphics= (bitmap images) or a TiKZ's =\scalebox=.
  403. Therefore, its value should be some string palatable to LaTeX as
  404. a positive float Its default value is an empty string (i.e. disabled).
  405. This attribute overrides the =:width= and =:height= attributes.
  406. #+begin_example
  407. ,#+name: Beastie
  408. ,#+caption: I think I saw this curious horse already, but where ?
  409. ,#+LATEX_ATTR: :scale 2
  410. [[https://orgmode.org/img/org-mode-unicorn-logo.png]]
  411. #+end_example
  412. *** Allow specifying the target for a table of contents
  413. The =+TOC= keyword now accepts a =:target:= attribute that specifies
  414. the headline to use for making the table of contents.
  415. #+begin_example
  416. ,* Target
  417. :PROPERTIES:
  418. :CUSTOM_ID: TargetSection
  419. :END:
  420. ,** Heading A
  421. ,** Heading B
  422. ,* Another section
  423. ,#+TOC: headlines 1 :target "#TargetSection"
  424. #+end_example
  425. ** New functions
  426. *** ~org-dynamic-block-insert-dblock~
  427. Use default keybinding =<C-c C-x x>= to run command
  428. ~org-dynamic-block-insert-dblock~. It will prompt user to select
  429. dynamic block in ~org-dynamic-block-alist~.
  430. *** ~org-table-cell-up~
  431. *** ~org-table-cell-down~
  432. *** ~org-table-cell-left~
  433. *** ~org-table-cell-right~
  434. *** ~org-habit-toggle-display-in-agenda~
  435. ** Removed functions and variables
  436. *** Removed Org Drill
  437. You can install it back from MELPA.
  438. *** ~org-babel-set-current-result-hash~
  439. *** ~org-capture-insert-template-here~
  440. *** ~org-attach-directory~
  441. It has been deprecated in favor of ~org-attach-id-dir~ which is less
  442. ambiguous given the restructured org-attach.
  443. *** ~org-enable-fixed-width-editor~
  444. This variable was not used through the code base.
  445. ** Miscellaneous
  446. *** Change signature for ~org-list-to-subtree~
  447. The function now accepts the level of the subtree as an optional
  448. argument. It no longer deduces it from the current level.
  449. *** LaTeX preview is simplified
  450. Function ~org-latex-preview~, formerly known as
  451. ~org-toggle-latex-fragment~, has a hopefully simpler and more
  452. predictable behavior. See its docstring for details.
  453. *** ~org-table-copy-down~ supports patterns
  454. When ~org-table-copy-increment~ is non-nil, it is now possible to
  455. increment fields like =A1=, or =0A=, i.e., any string prefixed or
  456. suffixed with a whole number.
  457. *** No more special indentation for description items
  458. Descriptions items are indented like regular ones, i.e., text starts
  459. after the bullet. Special indentation used to introduce bugs when
  460. inserting sub-items in a description list.
  461. *** New hook: ~org-todo-repeat-hook~
  462. This hook was actually introduced in Org 9.2.1, but wasn't advertised.
  463. *** Org Table reads numbers starting with 0 as strings
  464. *** Disable fast tag selection interface via prefix arg
  465. A call of ~org-set-tags-command~ with prefix argument C-u C-u avoids
  466. the fast tag selection interface and instead offers the plain
  467. interface.
  468. *** ~:mkdirp~ now supports create directory for ~:dir~ path
  469. The ~:mkdirp~ header argument used to only work for ~:tangle~ tangle
  470. files. Now ~:mkdirp~ works for ~:dir~ too. This is more convenient for
  471. specify default directory and with ~:file~ header argument.
  472. *** New variable: ~org-agenda-breadcrumbs-separator~
  473. If breadcrumbs are showed in org-agenda with the help of "%b" format
  474. in ~org-agenda-prefix-format~, user can customize breadcrumbs's
  475. separator using ~org-agenda-breadcrumbs-separator~.
  476. *** New variable ~org-attach-commands~
  477. This variable makes it possible to customize the list of commands for
  478. the attachment dispatcher.
  479. *** New ID method based on timestamp
  480. If one chooses, it is now possible to create ID's based on timestamp
  481. (ISO8601) instead of UUID by changing org-id-method to ts.
  482. For an improved folder structure when using timestamp as ID, make sure
  483. to promote ~org-attach-id-ts-folder-format~ to the first element of
  484. ~org-attach-id-to-path-function-list~ in your configuration at the
  485. same time.
  486. *** New customization: ~org-id-locations-relative~
  487. New customization to make the persisting of org-id-locations between
  488. sessions to store links to files as relative instead of absolute. The
  489. links will be stored as relative to the path of org-id-locations-file.
  490. *** ~org-ctrl-c-tab~ is functional before the first headline
  491. I.e. treat the whole file as if it was a subtree.
  492. Also fold everything below the chosen level. Former behavior was to
  493. leave unfolded subtrees unfolded.
  494. *** ~org-kill-note-or-show-branches~ is functional before the first headline
  495. I.e. treat the whole file as if it was a subtree.
  496. *** Respect narrowing when agenda command is restricted to buffer
  497. * Version 9.2
  498. ** Incompatible changes
  499. *** Removal of OrgStruct mode mode and radio lists
  500. OrgStruct minor mode and radio lists mechanism (~org-list-send-list~
  501. and ~org-list-radio-lists-templates~) are removed from the code base.
  502. Note that only radio /lists/ have been removed, not radio tables.
  503. If you want to manipulate lists like in Org in other modes, we suggest
  504. to use =orgalist.el=, which you can install from GNU ELPA.
  505. If you want to use Org folding outside of Org buffers, you can have a
  506. look at the outshine package in the MELPA repository.
  507. *** Change in the structure template expansion
  508. Org 9.2 comes with a new template expansion mechanism, combining
  509. ~org-insert-structure-template~ bound to ~C-c C-,~.
  510. If you customized the ~org-structure-template-alist~ option manually,
  511. you probably need to update it, see the docstring for accepted values.
  512. If you prefer using previous patterns, e.g. =<s=, you can activate
  513. them again by requiring Org Tempo library:
  514. : (require 'org-tempo)
  515. or add it to ~org-modules~.
  516. If you need complex templates, look at the ~tempo-define-template~
  517. function or at solutions like Yasnippet.
  518. *** Change to Noweb expansion
  519. Expansion check =:noweb-ref= only if no matching named block is found
  520. in the buffer. As a consequence, any =:noweb-ref= value matching the
  521. name of a source block in the buffer is ignored. A simple fix is to
  522. give every concerned source-block, including the named one, a new,
  523. unique, Noweb reference.
  524. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  525. ,#+NAME: foo
  526. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  527. 1
  528. ,#+END_SRC
  529. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :noweb-ref foo
  530. 2
  531. ,#+END_SRC
  532. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :noweb yes
  533. <<foo>>
  534. ,#+END_SRC
  535. #+END_SRC
  536. should become
  537. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  538. ,#+NAME: foo
  539. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :noweb-ref bar
  540. 1
  541. ,#+END_SRC
  542. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :noweb-ref bar
  543. 2
  544. ,#+END_SRC
  545. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :noweb yes
  546. <<bar>>
  547. ,#+END_SRC
  548. #+END_SRC
  549. *** Default/accepted values of ~org-calendar-to-agenda-key~
  550. The default value and accepted value of ~org-calendar-to-agenda-key~
  551. changed. This is an excerpt of the new docstring:
  552. : When set to ‘default’, bind the function to ‘c’, but only if it is
  553. : available in the Calendar keymap. This is the default choice because
  554. : ‘c’ can then be used to switch back and forth between agenda and calendar.
  555. :
  556. : When nil, ‘org-calendar-goto-agenda’ is not bound to any key.
  557. Check the full docstring for more.
  558. *** Change the signature of the ~org-set-effort~ function
  559. Here is the new docstring:
  560. : (org-set-effort &optional INCREMENT VALUE)
  561. :
  562. : Set the effort property of the current entry.
  563. : If INCREMENT is non-nil, set the property to the next allowed
  564. : value. Otherwise, if optional argument VALUE is provided, use
  565. : it. Eventually, prompt for the new value if none of the previous
  566. : variables is set.
  567. *** Placeholders in =(eval ...)= macros are always strings
  568. Within =(eval ...)= macros, =$1=-like placeholders are always replaced
  569. with a string. As a consequence, they must not be enclosed within
  570. quotes. As an illustration, consider the following, now valid,
  571. examples:
  572. #+begin_example
  573. ,#+macro: join (eval (concat $1 $2))
  574. ,#+macro: sum (eval (+ (string-to-number $1) (string-to-number $2)))
  575. {{{join(a,b)}}} => ab
  576. {{{sum(1,2)}}} => 3
  577. #+end_example
  578. However, there is no change in non-eval macros:
  579. #+begin_example
  580. ,#+macro: disp argument: $1
  581. {{{disp(text)}}} => argument: text
  582. #+end_example
  583. *** =align= STARTUP value no longer narrow table columns
  584. Columns narrowing (or shrinking) is now dynamic. See [[*Dynamically
  585. narrow table columns]] for details. In particular, it is decoupled from
  586. aligning.
  587. If you need to automatically shrink columns upon opening an Org
  588. document, use =shrink= value instead, or in addition to align:
  589. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  590. ,#+STARTUP: align shrink
  591. #+END_EXAMPLE
  592. *** ~org-get-tags~ meaning change
  593. Function ~org-get-tags~ used to return local tags to the current
  594. headline. It now returns all the inherited tags in addition to the
  595. local tags. In order to get the old behavior back, you can use:
  596. : (org-get-tags nil t)
  597. *** Alphabetic sorting in tables and lists
  598. When sorting alphabetically, ~org-table-sort-lines~ and ~org-sort-list~
  599. now sort according to the locale’s collation rules instead of by
  600. code-point.
  601. *** Change the name of the :tags clocktable option to :match
  602. The =:match= (renamed from =:tags=) option allows to limit clock entries
  603. to those matching a todo-tags matcher.
  604. The old =:tags= option can be set to =t= to display a headline's tags in a
  605. dedicated column.
  606. This is consistent with the naming of =org-dblock-write:columnview=
  607. options, where =:match= is also used as a headlines filter.
  608. ** New features
  609. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-clojure for CIDER
  610. You can initialize source block session with Babel default keybinding
  611. =[C-c C-v C-z]= to use =sesman= session manager to link current
  612. project, directory or buffer with specific Clojure session, or
  613. =cider-jack-in= a new CIDER REPL if no CIDER REPLs available. In older
  614. CIDER version which has not =sesman= integrated, only has
  615. =cider-jack-in= without Clojure project is supported.
  616. #+begin_src clojure :session
  617. (dissoc Clojure 'JVM)
  618. (conj clojurists "stardiviner")
  619. #+end_src
  620. *** Add ~:results link~ support for Babel
  621. With this output format, create a link to the file specified in
  622. ~:file~ header argument, without actually writing any result to it:
  623. #+begin_example
  624. ,#+begin_src shell :dir "data/tmp" :results link :file "crackzor_1.0.c.gz"
  625. wget -c "http://ben.akrin.com/crackzor/crackzor_1.0.c.gz"
  626. ,#+end_src
  627. ,#+results:
  628. [[file:data/tmp/crackzor_1.0.c.gz]]
  629. #+end_example
  630. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-js for js-comint
  631. #+begin_src js :session "*Javascript REPL*"
  632. console.log("stardiviner")
  633. #+end_src
  634. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-js for Indium
  635. #+begin_src js :session "*JS REPL*"
  636. console.log("stardiviner")
  637. #+end_src
  638. *** Add ~:session~ support of ob-js for skewer-mode
  639. #+begin_src js :session "*skewer-repl*"
  640. console.log("stardiviner")
  641. #+end_src
  642. *** Add support for links to LaTeX equations in HTML export
  643. Use MathJax links when enabled (by ~org-html-with-latex~), otherwise
  644. add a label to the rendered equation.
  645. *** Org Tempo may used for snippet expansion of structure template.
  646. See manual and the commentary section in ~org-tempo.el~ for details.
  647. *** Exclude unnumbered headlines from table of contents
  648. Set their =UNNUMBERED= property to the special =notoc= value. See
  649. manual for details.
  650. *** ~org-archive~ functions update status cookies
  651. Archiving headers through ~org-archive-subtree~ and
  652. ~org-archive-to-archive-sibling~ such as the ones listed below:
  653. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  654. ,* Top [1/2]
  655. ,** DONE Completed
  656. ,** TODO Working
  657. #+END_SRC
  658. Will update the status cookie in the top level header.
  659. *** Disable =org-agenda-overriding-header= by setting to empty string
  660. The ~org-agenda-overriding-header~ inserted into agenda views can now
  661. be disabled by setting it to an empty string.
  662. *** Dynamically narrow table columns
  663. With ~C-c TAB~, it is now possible to narrow a column to the width
  664. specified by a width cookie in the column, or to 1 character if there
  665. is no such cookie. The same keybinding expands a narrowed column to
  666. its previous state.
  667. Editing the column automatically expands the whole column to its full
  668. size.
  669. *** =org-columns-summary-types= entries can take an optional COLLECT function
  670. You can use this to make collection of a property from an entry
  671. conditional on another entry. E.g. given this configuration:
  672. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  673. (defun custom/org-collect-confirmed (property)
  674. "Return `PROPERTY' for `CONFIRMED' entries"
  675. (let ((prop (org-entry-get nil property))
  676. (confirmed (org-entry-get nil "CONFIRMED")))
  677. (if (and prop (string= "[X]" confirmed))
  678. prop
  679. "0")))
  680. (setq org-columns-summary-types
  681. '(("X+" org-columns--summary-sum
  682. custom/org-collect-confirmed)))
  683. #+END_SRC
  684. You can have a file =bananas.org= containing:
  685. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  686. ,#+columns: %ITEM %CONFIRMED %Bananas{+} %Bananas(Confirmed Bananas){X+}
  687. ,* All shipments
  688. ,** Shipment 1
  689. :PROPERTIES:
  690. :CONFIRMED: [X]
  691. :Bananas: 4
  692. :END:
  693. ,** Shipment 2
  694. :PROPERTIES:
  695. :CONFIRMED: [ ]
  696. :BANANAS: 7
  697. :END:
  698. #+END_SRC
  699. ... and when going to the top of that file and entering column view
  700. you should expect to see something like:
  701. | ITEM | CONFIRMED | Bananas | Confirmed Bananas |
  702. |---------------+-----------+---------+-------------------|
  703. | All shipments | | 11 | 4 |
  704. | Shipment 1 | [X] | 4 | 4 |
  705. | Shipment 2 | [ ] | 7 | 7 |
  706. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  707. ,#+STARTUP: shrink
  708. #+END_EXAMPLE
  709. *** Allow to filter by tags/property when capturing colview
  710. You can now use =:match= to filter entries using a todo/tags/properties
  711. matcher.
  712. *** Add support for Oracle's database alias in Babel blocks
  713. =ob-sql= library already support running SQL blocks against an Oracle
  714. database using ~sqlplus~. Now it's possible to use alias names
  715. defined in =TNSNAMES= file instead of specifying full connection
  716. parameters. See example below.
  717. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  718. you can use the previous full connection parameters
  719. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine oracle :dbuser me :dbpassword my_insecure_password :database my_db_name :dbhost my_db_host :dbport 1521
  720. select sysdate from dual;
  721. ,#+END_SRC
  722. or the alias defined in your TNSNAMES file
  723. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine oracle :dbuser me :dbpassword my_insecure_password :database my_tns_alias
  724. select sysdate from dual;
  725. ,#+END_SRC
  726. #+END_SRC
  727. *** ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock~ toggle agenda restriction at point
  728. You can set an agenda restriction lock with =C-x C-x <= or with =<= at the
  729. beginning of a headline when using Org speed commands. Now, if there
  730. is already a restriction at point, hitting =<= again (or =C-x C-x <=) will
  731. remove it.
  732. *** Headlines can now link to themselves in HTML export
  733. When enabling ~org-html-self-link-headlines~ the headlines exported to
  734. HTML contain a hyperlink to themselves.
  735. ** New commands and functions
  736. *** ~org-insert-structure-template~
  737. This function can be used to wrap existing text of Org elements in
  738. a #+BEGIN_FOO/#+END_FOO block. Bound to C-c C-x w by default.
  739. *** ~org-export-excluded-from-toc-p~
  740. See docstring for details.
  741. *** ~org-timestamp-to-time~
  742. *** ~org-timestamp-from-string~
  743. *** ~org-timestamp-from-time~
  744. *** ~org-attach-dired-to-subtree~
  745. See docstring for details.
  746. *** ~org-toggle-narrow-to-subtree~
  747. Toggle the narrowing state of the buffer: when in a narrowed state,
  748. widen, otherwise call ~org-narrow-to-subtree~ to narrow.
  749. This is attached to the "s" speed command, so that hitting "s" twice
  750. will go back to the widen state.
  751. *** ~org-browse-news~
  752. Browse https://orgmode.org/Changes.html to let users read information
  753. about the last major release.
  754. There is a new menu entry for this in the "Documentation" menu item.
  755. *** ~org-info-find-node~
  756. From an Org file or an agenda switch to a suitable info page depending
  757. on the context.
  758. The function is bound to =C-c C-x I=.
  759. ** Removed commands and functions
  760. *** ~org-outline-overlay-data~
  761. Use ~org-save-outline-visibility~ instead.
  762. *** ~org-set-outline-overlay-data~
  763. Use ~org-save-outline-visibility~ instead.
  764. *** ~org-get-string-indentation~
  765. It was not used throughout the code base.
  766. *** ~org-fix-indentation~
  767. It was not used throughout code base.
  768. *** ~org-context-p~
  769. Use ~org-element-at-point~ instead.
  770. *** ~org-preserve-lc~
  771. It is no longer used in the code base.
  772. *** ~org-try-structure-completion~
  773. Org Tempo may be used as a replacement. See details above.
  774. ** Removed options
  775. *** org-babel-use-quick-and-dirty-noweb-expansion
  776. See [[*Change to Noweb expansion][Change to Noweb expansion]] for explanations.
  777. ** Miscellaneous
  778. *** New default value for ~org-texinfo-table-scientific-notation~
  779. It is now nil, which means numbers in scientific notation are not
  780. handled specially by default.
  781. *** New default value for ~org-latex-table-scientific-notation~
  782. It is now nil, which means numbers in scientific notation are not
  783. handled specially by default.
  784. *** New face: ~org-upcoming-distant-deadline~
  785. It is meant to be used as the face for distant deadlines, see
  786. ~org-agenda-deadline-faces~
  787. *** ~org-paste-subtree~ no longer breaks sections
  788. Unless point is at the beginning of a headline, ~org-paste-subtree~
  789. now pastes the tree before the next visible headline. If you need to
  790. break the section, use ~org-yank~ instead.
  791. *** ~org-table-insert-column~ inserts a column to the right
  792. It used to insert it on the left. With this change,
  793. ~org-table-insert-column~ and ~org-table-delete-column~ are
  794. reciprocal.
  795. *** ~org-publish-resolve-external-link~ accepts a new optional argument.
  796. *** ~org-irc.el~ now supports exporting =irc:= links properly
  797. Previously, irc links were exported by ~ox-md~ and ~ox-html~ as normal
  798. file links, which lead to them being broken in web browsers. Now both
  799. of these exporters will properly export to =irc:= links, which will
  800. open properly in irc clients from web browsers.
  801. *** ~org-comment-dwim~ (bound to =M-;=) now comments headings, if point is on a heading
  802. *** Add support for open source block in window below
  803. Set option ~org-src-window-setup~ to ~split-window-below~.
  804. *** Alphabetic sorting in headings and tags now uses the locale’s sorting rules
  805. When sorting alphabetically, ~org-sort-entries~ and
  806. ~org-tags-sort-function~ now sort according to the locale’s collation
  807. rules instead of by code-point.
  808. *** New speed command "k" to kill (cut) the subtree at point
  809. * Version 9.1
  810. ** Incompatible changes
  811. *** Variables relative to clocksum duration are obsolete
  812. ~org-time-clocksum-format~, ~org-time-clocksum-use-fractional~ and
  813. ~org-time-clocksum-fractional-format~ are obsolete. If you changed
  814. them, consider modifying ~org-duration-format~ instead.
  815. Variable ~org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations~ is also obsolete.
  816. Consider setting ~org-duration-units~ instead.
  817. *** ~org-at-timestamp-p~ optional argument accepts different values
  818. See docstrings for the allowed values. For backward compatibility,
  819. ~(org-at-timestamp-p t)~ is still supported, but should be updated
  820. accordingly.
  821. *** ~org-capture-templates~ no longer accepts S-expressions as file names
  822. Since functions are allowed there, a straightforward way to migrate
  823. is to turn, e.g.,
  824. : (file (sexp))
  825. into
  826. : (file (lambda () (sexp)))
  827. *** Deleted contributed packages
  828. =org-ebib.el, =org-bullets.el= and =org-mime.el= have been deleted
  829. from the contrib/ directory.
  830. You can now find them here :
  831. - https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib
  832. - https://github.com/sabof/org-bullets
  833. - https://github.com/org-mime/org-mime
  834. *** Change ~org-texinfo-classes~ value
  835. The value cannot support functions to create sectioning commands
  836. anymore. Also, the sectioning commands should include commands for
  837. appendices. See the docstring for more information.
  838. *** Removal of ~:sitemap-sans-extension~
  839. The publishing property is no longer recognized, as a consequence of
  840. changes to site-map generation.
  841. You can get the same functionality by setting ~:sitemap-format-entry~
  842. to the following
  843. #+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  844. (lambda (entry style project)
  845. (cond ((not (directory-name-p entry))
  846. (format "[[file:%s][%s]]"
  847. (file-name-sans-extension entry)
  848. (org-publish-find-title entry project)))
  849. ((eq style 'tree) (file-name-nondirectory (directory-file-name entry)))
  850. (t entry)))
  851. #+END_SRC
  852. *** Change signature for ~:sitemap-function~
  853. ~:sitemap-function~ now expects to be called with two arguments. See
  854. ~org-publish-project-alist~ for details.
  855. *** Change signature for some properties in ~org-list-to-generic~
  856. ~:istart~, ~:icount~, ~:iend~ and ~:isep~ now expect the type of the
  857. list as their first argument.
  858. *** Change signature for ~org-get-repeater~
  859. The optional argument is now a string to extract the repeater from.
  860. See docstring for details.
  861. *** Change signature for ~org-time-string-to-time~
  862. See docstring for changes.
  863. *** Change order of items in ~org-agenda-time-grid~
  864. ~org-agenda-time-grid~ gained an extra item to allow users to customize
  865. the string displayed after times in the agenda. See docstring for
  866. details.
  867. *** ~tags-todo~ custom searches now include DONE keywords
  868. Use "/!" markup when filtering TODO keywords to get only not-done TODO
  869. keywords.
  870. *** ~org-split-string~ returns ~("")~ when called on an empty string
  871. It used to return nil.
  872. *** Removal of =ob-scala.el=
  873. See [[https://github.com/ensime/emacs-scala-mode/issues/114][this github issue]].
  874. You can use =ob-scala.el= as packaged in scala-mode, available from the
  875. MELPA repository.
  876. ** New features
  877. *** iCalendar export uses inheritance for TIMEZONE and LOCATION properties
  878. Both these properties can be inherited during iCalendar export,
  879. depending on the value of ~org-use-property-inheritance~.
  880. *** iCalendar export respects a TIMEZONE property
  881. Set the TIMEZONE property on an entry to specify a time zone for that
  882. entry only during iCalendar export. The property value should be
  883. specified as in "Europe/London".
  884. *** ~org-attach~ can move directory contents
  885. When setting a new directory for an entry, org-attach offers to move
  886. files over from the old directory. Using a prefix arg will reset the
  887. directory to old, ID based one.
  888. *** New Org duration library
  889. This new library implements tools to read and print time durations in
  890. various formats (e.g., "H:MM", or "1d 2h 3min"...).
  891. See ~org-duration-to-minutes~ and ~org-duration-from-minutes~
  892. docstrings.
  893. *** Agenda
  894. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~
  895. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~
  896. **** New variable : ~org-deadline-past-days~
  897. See docstring for details.
  898. **** Binding C-c C-x < for ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  899. **** New auto-align default setting for =org-agenda-tags-column=
  900. =org-agenda-tags-column= can now be set to =auto=, which will
  901. automatically align tags to the right edge of the window. This is now
  902. the default setting.
  903. *** New value for ~org-publish-sitemap-sort-folders~
  904. The new ~ignore~ value effectively allows toggling inclusion of
  905. directories in published site-maps.
  906. *** Babel
  907. **** Scheme: support for tables
  908. **** Scheme: new variable: ~org-babel-scheme-null-to~
  909. This new custom option allows you to use an empty list or null symbol to
  910. format the table output, initially assigned to ~hlines~.
  911. **** Scheme: new header ~:prologue~
  912. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  913. developers to prepend code to the scheme block being processed.
  914. Multiple ~:prologue~ headers can be added each of them using a string
  915. with the content to be added.
  916. The scheme blocks are prepared by surrounding the code in the block
  917. with a let form. The content of the ~:prologue~ headers are prepended
  918. before this let form.
  919. **** Support for hledger accounting reports added
  920. **** Clojure: new setting ~org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout~
  921. Creation of a new setting to specify the Cider timeout. By setting
  922. the =org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout= setting option. The value
  923. is in seconds and if set to =nil= then no timeout will occur.
  924. **** Clojure: new header ~:show-process~
  925. A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
  926. developers to output the process of an ongoing process into a new
  927. window/buffer.
  928. You can tell Org Babel to output the process of a running code block.
  929. To show that output you only have to specify the =:show-process=
  930. option in the code block's header like this:
  931. #+begin_example
  932. ,#+BEGIN_SRC clojure :results output :show-process t
  933. (dotimes [n 10]
  934. (println n ".")
  935. (Thread/sleep 500))
  936. ,#+END_SRC
  937. #+end_example
  938. If =:show-process= is specified that way, then when you will run the
  939. code using =C-c C-c= a new window will open in Emacs. Everything that
  940. is output by the REPL will immediately be added to that new window.
  941. When the processing of the code is finished, then the window and its
  942. buffer will be closed and the results will be reported in the
  943. =#+RESULTS= section.
  944. Note that the =:results= parameter's behavior is *not* changed. If
  945. =silent= is specified, then no result will be displayed. If =output=
  946. is specified then all the output from the window will appears in the
  947. results section. If =value= is specified, then only the last returned
  948. value of the code will be displayed in the results section.
  949. **** Maxima: new headers ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~
  950. Babel options ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~ have been implemented for
  951. Maxima source blocks which prepend and append, respectively, the given
  952. code strings. This can be useful for specifying formatting settings
  953. which would add clutter to exported code. For instance, you can use
  954. this ~:prologue "fpprintprec: 2; linel: 50;"~ for presenting Maxima
  955. results in a beamer presentation.
  956. **** PlantUML: add support for header arguments
  957. [[http://plantuml.com/][Plantuml]] source blocks now support the [[https://orgmode.org/manual/prologue.html#prologue][~:prologue~]], [[https://orgmode.org/manual/epilogue.html#epilogue][~:epilogue~]] and
  958. [[https://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] header arguments.
  959. **** SQL: new engine added ~sqsh~
  960. A new engine was added to support ~sqsh~ command line utility for use
  961. against Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase SQL server.
  962. More information on ~sqsh~ can be found here: [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/sqsh/][sourceforge/sqsh]]
  963. To use ~sqsh~ in an *sql* =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  964. #+begin_example
  965. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine sqsh :dbhost my_host :dbuser master :dbpassword pass :database support
  966. Select * From Users
  967. Where clue > 0
  968. ,#+END_SRC
  969. #+end_example
  970. **** SQL: new engine added =vertica=
  971. A new engine was added to support vsql command line utility for use
  972. against HP Vertica.
  973. More information on =vsql= can be found here: [[https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.2.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/ConnectingToHPVertica/vsql/UsingVsql.htm][my.vertica.com]]
  974. To use =vertica= in an sql =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
  975. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  976. ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine vertica :dbhost my_host :dbuser dbadmin :dbpassword pw :database vmart
  977. SELECT * FROM nodes;
  978. ,#+END_SRC
  979. #+END_EXAMPLE
  980. **** C++: New header ~:namespaces~
  981. The new ~:namespaces~ export option can be used to specify namespaces
  982. to be used within a C++ org source block. Its usage is similar to
  983. ~:includes~, in that it can accept multiple, space-separated
  984. namespaces to use. This header is equivalent to adding ~using
  985. namespace <name>;~ in the source block. Here is a "Hello World" in C++
  986. using ~:namespaces~:
  987. #+begin_example
  988. ,#+BEGIN_SRC C++ :results output :namespaces std :includes <iostream>
  989. cout << "Hello World" << endl;
  990. ,#+END_SRC
  991. #+end_example
  992. **** Support for Vala language
  993. [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala][Vala]] language blocks support two special header arguments:
  994. - ~:flags~ passes arguments to the compiler
  995. - ~:cmdline~ passes commandline arguments to the generated executable
  996. Support for [[https://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] does not exist yet, also there is no [[https://orgmode.org/manual/session.html#session][~:session~]]
  997. support because Vala is a compiled language.
  998. The Vala compiler binary can be changed via the ~defcustom~
  999. ~org-babel-vala-compiler~.
  1000. *** New ~function~ scope argument for the Clock Table
  1001. Added a nullary function that returns a list of files as a possible
  1002. argument for the scope of the clock table.
  1003. *** Export
  1004. **** Implement vernacular table of contents in Markdown exporter
  1005. Global table of contents are generated using vanilla Markdown syntax
  1006. instead of HTML. Also #+TOC keyword, including local table of
  1007. contents, are now supported.
  1008. **** Add Slovenian translations
  1009. **** Implement ~org-export-insert-image-links~
  1010. This new function is meant to be used in back-ends supporting images
  1011. as descriptions of links, a.k.a. image links. See its docstring for
  1012. details.
  1013. **** New macro : ~{{{n}}}~
  1014. This macro creates and increment multiple counters in a document. See
  1015. manual for details.
  1016. **** Add global macros through ~org-export-global-macros~
  1017. With this variable, one can define macros available for all documents.
  1018. **** New keyword ~#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME~
  1019. Similarly to ~:EXPORT_FILE_NAME:~ property, this keyword allows the
  1020. user to specify the name of the output file upon exporting the
  1021. document. This also has an effect on publishing.
  1022. **** Horizontal rules are no longer ignored in LaTeX table math mode
  1023. **** Use ~compilation-mode~ for compilation output
  1024. **** Plain lists accept a new ~:separator~ attribute in Texinfo
  1025. The new ~:separator~ attribute splits a tag from a description list
  1026. item into multiple parts. This allows to have two-column tables with
  1027. multiple entries in the first column. See manual for more details.
  1028. **** ~latex-environment~ elements support ~caption~ keywords for LaTeX export
  1029. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit LaTeX environments
  1030. Using ~C-c '~ on a LaTeX environment opens a sub-editing buffer. By
  1031. default, major mode in that buffer is ~latex-mode~, but it can be
  1032. changed by configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~.
  1033. *** ~org-list-to-generic~ includes a new property: ~:ifmt~
  1034. ~:ifmt~ is a function to be called on the body of each item. See
  1035. ~org-list-to-generic~ documentation for details.
  1036. *** New variable : ~org-bibtex-headline-format-function~
  1037. This allow to use a different title than entry title.
  1038. *** ~org-attach~ supports attaching files from URLs
  1039. Using ~C-c C-a u~ prompts for a URL pointing to a file to be attached
  1040. to the document.
  1041. *** New option for ~org-refile-use-outline-path~
  1042. ~org-refile-use-outline-path~ now supports the setting ~buffer-name~,
  1043. which causes refile targets to be prefixed with the buffer’s
  1044. name. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with
  1045. ~uniquify.el~.
  1046. *** ~org-file-contents~ now allows the FILE argument to be a URL.
  1047. This allows ~#+SETUPFILE:~ to accept a URL instead of a local file
  1048. path. The URL contents are auto-downloaded and saved to a temporary
  1049. cache ~org--file-cache~. A new optional argument ~NOCACHE~ is added
  1050. to ~org-file-contents~.
  1051. *** ~org-mode-restart~ now resets the newly added ~org--file-cache~.
  1052. Using ~C-c C-c~ on any keyword (like ~#+SETUPFILE~) will reset the
  1053. that file cache.
  1054. *** New option : ~org-table-duration-hour-zero-padding~
  1055. This variable allow computed durations in tables to be zero-padded.
  1056. *** New mode switch for table formulas : =U=
  1057. This mode omits seconds in durations.
  1058. ** Removed functions
  1059. *** Org Timeline
  1060. This feature has been removed. Use a custom agenda view, possibly
  1061. narrowed to current buffer to achieve a similar functionality.
  1062. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  1063. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  1064. *** ~org-agenda-skip-subtree-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
  1065. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  1066. *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches-in-subtree~ is obsolete
  1067. Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
  1068. *** ~org-minutes-to-clocksum-string~ is obsolete
  1069. Use ~org-duration-from-minutes~ instead.
  1070. *** ~org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  1071. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  1072. *** ~org-duration-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
  1073. Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
  1074. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-cached-article-number~ is removed.
  1075. This function relied on ~nnimap-group-overview-filename~, which was
  1076. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  1077. ** Removed options
  1078. *** ~org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all~ is removed.
  1079. For an equivalent to a =nil= value, set
  1080. ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~ to nil and
  1081. ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~ to =t=.
  1082. *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-query-article-no-from-file~ is removed.
  1083. This variable has no effect, as it was relying on a function that was
  1084. removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
  1085. *** ~org-usenet-links-prefer-google~ is obsolete.
  1086. Use ~org-gnus-prefer-web-links~ instead.
  1087. *** ~org-publish-sitemap-file-entry-format~ is deprecated
  1088. One can provide new ~:sitemap-format-entry~ property for a function
  1089. equivalent to the removed format string.
  1090. *** ~org-enable-table-editor~ is removed.
  1091. Setting it to a =nil= value broke some other features (e.g., speed
  1092. keys).
  1093. *** ~org-export-use-babel~ cannot be set to ~inline-only~
  1094. The variable is now a boolean.
  1095. *** ~org-texinfo-def-table-markup~ is obsolete
  1096. Use ~org-texinfo-table-default-markup~ instead.
  1097. ** New functions
  1098. *** ~org-publish-find-property~
  1099. This function can be used as a tool to format entries in a site-map,
  1100. in addition to ~org-publish-find-title~ and ~org-publish-find-date~.
  1101. *** ~org-list-to-org~
  1102. It is the reciprocal of ~org-list-to-lisp~, which see.
  1103. *** ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
  1104. Call ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock~ from the agenda.
  1105. ** Miscellaneous
  1106. *** The Library of Babel now on Worg
  1107. The library-of-babel.org used to be accessible from the =doc/=
  1108. directory, distributed with Org’s core. It is now accessible
  1109. from the Worg community-driven documentation [[https://orgmode.org/worg/library-of-babel.html][here]].
  1110. If you want to contribute to it, please see [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html][how to contribute]].
  1111. *** Allow multiple columns view
  1112. Columns view is not limited to a single buffer anymore.
  1113. *** Org Attach obeys ~dired-dwim-target~
  1114. When a Dired buffer is opened next to the Org document being edited,
  1115. the prompt for file to attach can start in the Dired buffer's
  1116. directory if `dired-dwim-target' in non-nil.
  1117. *** ~org-fill-paragraph~ can now fill a whole region
  1118. *** More specific anniversary descriptions
  1119. Anniversary descriptions (used in the agenda view, for instance)
  1120. include the point in time, when the anniversary appears. This is,
  1121. in its most general form, just the date of the anniversary. Or
  1122. more specific terms, like "today", "tomorrow" or "in n days" are
  1123. used to describe the time span.
  1124. This feature allows to automatically change the description of an
  1125. anniversary, depending on if it occurs in the next few days or
  1126. far away in the future.
  1127. *** Computed dates in tables appear as inactive time stamps
  1128. *** Save point before opening a file with an unknown search option
  1129. When following a file link with a search option (e.g., =::#custom-id=)
  1130. that doesn't exist in the target file, save position before raising an
  1131. error. As a consequence, it is possible to jump back to the original
  1132. document with ~org-mark-ring-goto~ (default binding =C-c &=).
  1133. *** ~org-get-heading~ accepts two more optional arguments
  1134. See docstring for details.
  1135. *** New option ~org-babel-uppercase-example-markers~
  1136. This variable is a ~defcustom~ and replaces the variable
  1137. ~org-babel-capitalize-example-region-markers~, which is a ~defvar~ and
  1138. is now obsolete.
  1139. *** =INCLUDE= keywords in commented trees are now ignored.
  1140. *** Default value for ~org-texinfo-text-markup-alist~ changed.
  1141. Now ~=...=~ markup uses ~@samp{}~ instead of ~@verb{}~. You can use
  1142. ~@verb{}~ again by customizing the variable.
  1143. *** Texinfo exports example blocks as ~@example~
  1144. *** Texinfo exports inline source blocks as ~@code{}~
  1145. *** Texinfo default table markup is ~@asis~
  1146. It used to be ~@samp~ but ~@asis~ is neutral and, therefore, more
  1147. suitable as a default value.
  1148. *** Texinfo default process includes ~--no-split~ option
  1149. *** New entities : ~\dollar~ and ~\USD~
  1150. *** Support for date style URLs in =org-protocol://open-source=
  1151. URLs like =https://cool-blog.com/2017/05/20/cool-post/= are
  1152. covered by rewrite rules.
  1153. *** Add (C) =COMMENT= support to ~org-structure-template-alist~
  1154. * Version 9.0
  1155. ** Incompatible changes
  1156. *** Emacs 23 support has been dropped
  1157. From now on, Org expects at least Emacs 24.3, although Emacs 24.4 or
  1158. above is suggested.
  1159. *** XEmacs support has been dropped
  1160. Incomplete compatibility layer with XEmacs has been removed. If you
  1161. want to take over maintenance of this compatibility, please contact
  1162. our mailing list.
  1163. *** New syntax for export blocks
  1164. Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
  1165. disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
  1166. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1167. ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
  1168. ...
  1169. ,#+END_EXPORT
  1170. #+END_SRC
  1171. instead of
  1172. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1173. ,#+BEGIN_backend
  1174. ...
  1175. ,#+END_backend
  1176. #+END_SRC
  1177. As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
  1178. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1179. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
  1180. #+END_SRC
  1181. becomes
  1182. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1183. ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
  1184. #+END_SRC
  1185. The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
  1186. using previous syntax:
  1187. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1188. (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
  1189. "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
  1190. (interactive)
  1191. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  1192. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  1193. (back-end-re (regexp-opt
  1194. '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
  1195. "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
  1196. t)))
  1197. (org-with-wide-buffer
  1198. (goto-char (point-min))
  1199. (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
  1200. (save-excursion
  1201. (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
  1202. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  1203. (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
  1204. (save-excursion
  1205. (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
  1206. (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
  1207. (forward-char)
  1208. (insert "EXPORT")
  1209. (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
  1210. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
  1211. (let ((include-re
  1212. (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
  1213. (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
  1214. (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
  1215. (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
  1216. (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
  1217. (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
  1218. #+END_SRC
  1219. Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~ and
  1220. ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to be
  1221. removed.
  1222. *** Footnotes
  1223. **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
  1224. Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
  1225. it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
  1226. constructs are now unsupported.
  1227. If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them into
  1228. =[fn:N]=.
  1229. **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
  1230. Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
  1231. something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
  1232. consider using the =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
  1233. In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
  1234. exists.
  1235. *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
  1236. The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
  1237. S-expressions. Replacing an S-expression with an appropriate function
  1238. is straightforward. For example
  1239. : ("pdf" . (foo))
  1240. becomes
  1241. : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
  1242. *** The ~{{{modification-time}}}~ macro can get time via =vc=
  1243. The modification time will be determined via =vc.el= if the second
  1244. argument is non-nil. See the manual for details.
  1245. *** Preparation and completion functions in publishing projects change signature
  1246. Preparation and completion functions are now called with an argument,
  1247. which is the project property list. It used to be dynamically scoped
  1248. through the ~project-plist~ variable.
  1249. *** Old Babel header properties are no longer supported
  1250. Using header arguments as property names is no longer possible. As
  1251. such, the following
  1252. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1253. ,* Headline
  1254. :PROPERTIES:
  1255. :exports: code
  1256. :var: a=1 b=2
  1257. :var+: c=3
  1258. :END:
  1259. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1260. should be written instead
  1261. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1262. ,* Headline
  1263. :PROPERTIES:
  1264. :header-args: :exports code
  1265. :header-args+: :var a=1 b=2
  1266. :header-args+: :var c=3
  1267. :END:
  1268. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1269. Please note that, however, old properties were defined at the source
  1270. block definition. Current ones are defined where the block is called.
  1271. ** New features
  1272. *** ~org-eww~ has been moved into core
  1273. *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
  1274. Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
  1275. #+begin_example
  1276. org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
  1277. org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
  1278. #+end_example
  1279. Old-style links such as
  1280. : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
  1281. continue to be supported.
  1282. If you have defined your own handler functions for
  1283. ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
  1284. list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
  1285. ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into property
  1286. lists.
  1287. *** New Org linter library
  1288. ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
  1289. *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
  1290. When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
  1291. entries are added to last in the date tree.
  1292. *** New ~vbar~ entity
  1293. ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionally as a =|=,
  1294. unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~&vert;~ when using
  1295. a HTML derived export back-end.
  1296. *** Export
  1297. **** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
  1298. PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
  1299. details.
  1300. **** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
  1301. This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
  1302. a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
  1303. **** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
  1304. Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
  1305. string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
  1306. position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
  1307. for more details.
  1308. **** New Texinfo ~options~ attribute on special blocks
  1309. Using ~:options~ as a Texinfo attribute, it is possible to add
  1310. information to custom environments. See manual for details.
  1311. **** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
  1312. If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
  1313. will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
  1314. enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
  1315. ~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
  1316. **** Listings with captions are now numbered in HTML export
  1317. The class associated to the numbering is "listing-number". If you
  1318. don't want these blocks to be numbered, as it was the case until now,
  1319. You may want to add ~.listing-number { display: none; }~ to the CSS
  1320. used.
  1321. **** Line Numbering in SRC/EXAMPLE blocks support arbitrary start number
  1322. The ~-n~ option to ~SRC~ and ~EXAMPLE~ blocks can now take a numeric
  1323. argument to specify the staring line number for the source or example
  1324. block. The ~+n~ option can now take a numeric argument that will be
  1325. added to the last line number from the previous block as the starting
  1326. point for the SRC/EXAMPLE block.
  1327. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1328. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp -n 20
  1329. ;; this will export with line number 20
  1330. (message "This is line 21")
  1331. ,#+END_SRC
  1332. ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp +n 10
  1333. ;; This will be listed as line 31
  1334. (message "This is line 32")
  1335. ,#+END_SRC
  1336. #+END_SRC
  1337. **** Allow toggling center for images in LaTeX export
  1338. With the global variable ~org-latex-images-centered~ or the local
  1339. attribute ~:center~ it is now possible to center an image in LaTeX
  1340. export.
  1341. **** Default CSS class ~org-svg~ for SVG images in HTML export
  1342. SVG images exported in HTML are now by default assigned a CSS class
  1343. ~org-svg~ if no CSS class is specified with the ~:class~ attribute. By
  1344. default, the CSS styling of class ~org-svg~ specifies an image width of
  1345. 90\thinsp{}% of the container the image.
  1346. **** Markdown footnote export customization
  1347. Variables ~org-md-footnotes-section~ and ~org-md-footnote-format~
  1348. introduced for =ox-md.el=. Both new variables define template strings
  1349. which can be used to customize the format of the exported footnotes
  1350. section and individual footnotes, respectively.
  1351. *** Babel
  1352. **** Blocks with coderefs labels can now be evaluated
  1353. The labels are removed prior to evaluating the block.
  1354. **** Support for Lua language
  1355. **** Support for SLY in Lisp blocks
  1356. See ~org-babel-lisp-eval-fn~ to activate it.
  1357. **** Support for Stan language
  1358. New ob-stan.el library.
  1359. Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
  1360. 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
  1361. This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
  1362. allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
  1363. 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
  1364. This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
  1365. ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
  1366. that does not end in ".stan".
  1367. For more information and usage examples, visit
  1368. https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
  1369. **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
  1370. =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
  1371. database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
  1372. mandatory):
  1373. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1374. :engine oracle
  1375. :dbhost <host.com>
  1376. :dbport <1521>
  1377. :dbuser <username>
  1378. :database <database>
  1379. :dbpassword <secret>
  1380. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1381. **** Improved support to Microsoft SQL Server via ~sqlcmd~
  1382. =ob-sql= library removes support to the ~msosql~ engine which uses the
  1383. deprecated ~osql~ command line tool, and replaces it with ~mssql~
  1384. engine which uses the ~sqlcmd~ command line tool. Use with properties
  1385. like this:
  1386. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1387. :engine mssql
  1388. :dbhost <host.com>
  1389. :dbuser <username>
  1390. :dbpassword <secret>
  1391. :database <database>
  1392. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1393. If you want to use the *trusted connection* feature, omit *both* the
  1394. =dbuser= and =dbpassword= properties and add =cmdline -E= to the properties.
  1395. If your Emacs is running in a Cygwin environment, the =ob-sql= library
  1396. can pass the converted path to the =sqlcmd= tool.
  1397. **** Improved support of header arguments for postgresql
  1398. The postgresql engine in a sql code block supports now ~:dbport~ nd
  1399. ~:dbpassword~ as header arguments.
  1400. **** Support for additional plantuml output formats
  1401. The support for output formats of [[http://plantuml.com/][plantuml]] has been extended to now
  1402. include:
  1403. All Diagrams:
  1404. - png ::
  1405. - svg ::
  1406. - eps ::
  1407. - pdf ::
  1408. - vdx ::
  1409. - txt :: ASCII art
  1410. - utxt :: ASCII art using unicode characters
  1411. Class Diagrams:
  1412. - xmi ::
  1413. - html ::
  1414. State Diagrams:
  1415. - scxml ::
  1416. The output formats are determined by the file extension specified
  1417. using the :file property, e.g.:
  1418. #+begin_src plantuml :file diagram.png
  1419. @startuml
  1420. Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
  1421. Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
  1422. Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
  1423. Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
  1424. @enduml
  1425. #+end_src
  1426. Please note that *pdf* *does not work out of the box* and needs additional
  1427. setup in addition to plantuml. See [[http://plantuml.com/pdf.html]] for
  1428. details and setup information.
  1429. *** Rewrite of radio lists
  1430. Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
  1431. rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
  1432. parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
  1433. for details.
  1434. *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
  1435. Used like ~org-bbdb-anniversaries~, it provides a few days warning for
  1436. upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
  1437. *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
  1438. If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
  1439. information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
  1440. See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
  1441. *** Support for ISO week trees
  1442. ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
  1443. by ISO week and not by month.
  1444. For example:
  1445. : * 2015
  1446. : ** 2015-W35
  1447. : ** 2015-W36
  1448. : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
  1449. They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
  1450. ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
  1451. *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
  1452. When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
  1453. an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
  1454. On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
  1455. *** Columns view
  1456. **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
  1457. When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
  1458. buffer unconditionally.
  1459. **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
  1460. The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
  1461. **** Allow custom summaries
  1462. It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
  1463. provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
  1464. **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
  1465. Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
  1466. types.
  1467. *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
  1468. *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
  1469. When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
  1470. a git repository.
  1471. *** Allow conditional case-fold searches in ~org-occur~
  1472. When set to ~smart~, the new variable ~org-occur-case-fold-search~ allows
  1473. to mimic =isearch.el=: if the regexp searched contains any upper case
  1474. character (or character class), the search is case sensitive.
  1475. Otherwise, it is case insensitive.
  1476. *** More robust repeated =ox-latex= footnote handling
  1477. Repeated footnotes are now numbered by referring to a label in the
  1478. first footnote.
  1479. *** The ~org-block~ face is inherited by ~src-blocks~
  1480. This works also when =org-src-fontify-natively= is non-nil. It is also
  1481. possible to specify per-languages faces. See =org-src-block-faces= and
  1482. the manual for details.
  1483. *** Links are now customizable
  1484. Links can now have custom colors, tooltips, keymaps, display behavior,
  1485. etc. Links are now centralized in ~org-link-parameters~.
  1486. ** New functions
  1487. *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
  1488. It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
  1489. *** ~org-show-children~
  1490. It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
  1491. ** Removed functions
  1492. *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
  1493. Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
  1494. *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
  1495. Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
  1496. *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
  1497. Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
  1498. *** ~org-babel-trim~ is deprecated.
  1499. Use ~org-trim~ instead.
  1500. *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
  1501. Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
  1502. *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
  1503. Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
  1504. The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
  1505. *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
  1506. Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
  1507. *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
  1508. A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
  1509. now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
  1510. *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
  1511. Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
  1512. *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
  1513. It was not called by any org code since 2010.
  1514. *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
  1515. The affected functions are:
  1516. - ~org-count~
  1517. - ~org-remove-if~
  1518. - ~org-remove-if-not~
  1519. - ~org-reduce~
  1520. - ~org-every~
  1521. - ~org-some~
  1522. Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
  1523. the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
  1524. end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
  1525. ** Removed options
  1526. *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
  1527. This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
  1528. Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
  1529. let those libraries operate.
  1530. *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
  1531. Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
  1532. plain list.
  1533. *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  1534. fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
  1535. ** Miscellaneous
  1536. *** Add Icelandic smart quotes
  1537. *** Allow multiple receiver locations in radio tables and lists
  1538. *** Allow angular links within link descriptions
  1539. It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
  1540. ~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
  1541. ~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
  1542. is that spaces are allowed within the path.
  1543. *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  1544. *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
  1545. Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
  1546. current project. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
  1547. Org files.
  1548. *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
  1549. The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
  1550. indentation.
  1551. *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
  1552. Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
  1553. However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
  1554. the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
  1555. placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
  1556. very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
  1557. Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
  1558. template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
  1559. expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
  1560. another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
  1561. *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
  1562. Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
  1563. to the article's original group.
  1564. *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
  1565. The calling convention has changed.
  1566. *** HTML export table row customization changes
  1567. Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
  1568. ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
  1569. Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
  1570. called with 6 parameters.
  1571. *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
  1572. *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
  1573. The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
  1574. *** ~org-trim~ can preserve leading indentation.
  1575. When setting a new optional argument to a non-nil value, ~org-trim~
  1576. preserves leading indentation while removing blank lines at the
  1577. beginning of the string. The behavior is identical for white space at
  1578. the end of the string.
  1579. *** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
  1580. HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
  1581. than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
  1582. Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
  1583. : <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  1584. where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
  1585. For most folks this file does not exist.
  1586. Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
  1587. : <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
  1588. All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other
  1589. =gnu.org= manuals.
  1590. *** Repeaters with a ~++~ interval and a time can be shifted to later today
  1591. Previously, if a recurring task had a timestamp of
  1592. ~<2016-01-01 Fri 20:00 ++1d>~ and was completed on =2016-01-02= at
  1593. =08:00=, the task would skip =2016-01-02= and would be rescheduled for
  1594. =2016-01-03=. Timestamps with ~++~ cookies and a specific time will
  1595. now shift to the first possible future occurrence, even if the
  1596. occurrence is later the same day the task is completed. (Timestamps
  1597. already in the future are still shifted one time further into the
  1598. future.)
  1599. *** ~org-mobile-action-alist~ is now a defconst
  1600. It used to be a defcustom, with a warning that it shouldn't be
  1601. modified anyway.
  1602. *** ~file+emacs~ and ~file+sys~ link types are deprecated
  1603. They are still supported in Org 9.0 but will eventually be removed in
  1604. a later release. Use ~file~ link type along with universal arguments
  1605. to force opening it in either Emacs or with system application.
  1606. *** New defcustom ~org-babel-J-command~ stores the j command
  1607. *** New defalias ~org-babel-execute:j~
  1608. Allows J source blocks be indicated by letter j. Previously the
  1609. indication letter was solely J.
  1610. *** ~org-open-line~ ignores tables at the very beginning of the buffer
  1611. When ~org-special-ctrl-o~ is non-nil, it is impractical to create
  1612. a blank line above a table at the beginning of the document. Now, as
  1613. a special case, ~org-open-line~ behaves normally in this situation.
  1614. *** ~org-babel-hash-show-time~ is now customizable
  1615. The experimental variable used to be more or less confidential, as
  1616. a ~defvar~.
  1617. *** New ~:format~ property to parsed links
  1618. It defines the format of the original link. Possible values are:
  1619. ~plain~, ~bracket~ and ~angle~.
  1620. * Version 8.3
  1621. ** Incompatible changes
  1622. *** Properties drawers syntax changes
  1623. Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
  1624. headline and its planning line, when applicable.
  1625. It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
  1626. logged before the property drawer.
  1627. The following function will repair them:
  1628. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1629. (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
  1630. "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
  1631. Ignore non Org buffers."
  1632. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  1633. (org-with-wide-buffer
  1634. (goto-char (point-min))
  1635. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  1636. (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
  1637. (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
  1638. "END[ \t]*$"))))
  1639. (org-map-entries
  1640. (lambda ()
  1641. (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
  1642. (save-excursion
  1643. (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
  1644. (forward-line)
  1645. (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
  1646. (when (and (< (point) end)
  1647. (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
  1648. (save-excursion
  1649. (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
  1650. (eq (org-element-type
  1651. (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
  1652. 'drawer))))
  1653. (insert (delete-and-extract-region
  1654. (match-beginning 0)
  1655. (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
  1656. (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
  1657. #+END_SRC
  1658. *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
  1659. If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
  1660. exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
  1661. is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
  1662. into account when exporting.
  1663. If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
  1664. for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
  1665. *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
  1666. It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
  1667. the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
  1668. 5.14 (2008).
  1669. =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
  1670. properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
  1671. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1672. ,* Headline
  1673. :PROPERTIES:
  1674. :CATEGORY: some category
  1675. :END:
  1676. #+END_SRC
  1677. *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
  1678. ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
  1679. and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
  1680. controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
  1681. see.
  1682. *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
  1683. ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
  1684. version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
  1685. Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
  1686. ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
  1687. *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
  1688. Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
  1689. buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
  1690. *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
  1691. The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
  1692. ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~
  1693. respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
  1694. functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
  1695. (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
  1696. *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
  1697. ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
  1698. =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
  1699. *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
  1700. If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
  1701. org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
  1702. org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
  1703. *** Functions signature changes
  1704. The following functions require an additional argument. See their
  1705. docstring for more information.
  1706. - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
  1707. - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
  1708. - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
  1709. - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
  1710. - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
  1711. - ~org-link-search~
  1712. ** New features
  1713. *** Default lexical evaluation of emacs-lisp source blocks
  1714. Emacs-lisp source blocks in Babel are now evaluated using lexical
  1715. scoping. There is a new header to control this behavior.
  1716. The default results in an eval with lexical scoping.
  1717. :lexical yes
  1718. This turns lexical scoping off in the eval (the former behavior).
  1719. :lexical no
  1720. This uses the lexical environment with x=42 in the eval.
  1721. :lexical '((x . 42))
  1722. *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
  1723. If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
  1724. without changing the headline.
  1725. *** Hierarchies of tags
  1726. The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to Org mode.
  1727. This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
  1728. in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
  1729. The following in-buffer definition:
  1730. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1731. ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
  1732. ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
  1733. ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
  1734. #+END_SRC
  1735. Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
  1736. - Group
  1737. - SubOne
  1738. - SubOne1
  1739. - SubOne2
  1740. - SubTwo
  1741. - SubTwo1
  1742. - SubTwo2
  1743. Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
  1744. on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
  1745. There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
  1746. *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
  1747. Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
  1748. don't have to be distinct on a heading.
  1749. Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
  1750. already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
  1751. non-exclusive syntax. This behavior is achieved with [ ]. Note: { }
  1752. can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the given
  1753. tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
  1754. [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
  1755. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  1756. ,* Test :sub1:sub2:
  1757. #+END_SRC
  1758. This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
  1759. grouptags; { }.
  1760. *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
  1761. Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
  1762. "sub-tags".
  1763. The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
  1764. Example use:
  1765. : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
  1766. Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
  1767. regular expression matches for P@.+. This is good for example for
  1768. projects tagged with a common identifier, i.e. P@2014_OrgTags.
  1769. *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
  1770. Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filters all of the related tags.
  1771. Except if a filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
  1772. Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
  1773. levels anymore.
  1774. If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
  1775. is also used as a filter.
  1776. *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
  1777. Now uses the argument ARG and optional argument exclude instead of
  1778. strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
  1779. makes more sense than strip now. The term "narrowing" is changed to
  1780. exclude.
  1781. The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
  1782. filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
  1783. *** Babel: support for sed scripts
  1784. Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
  1785. *** Babel: support for Processing language
  1786. New ob-processing.el library.
  1787. This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
  1788. of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
  1789. external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
  1790. Check the documentation for more details.
  1791. Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
  1792. *** New behavior for ~org-toggle-latex-fragment~
  1793. The new behavior is the following:
  1794. - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument when
  1795. point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the whole
  1796. buffer;
  1797. - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
  1798. subtree;
  1799. - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
  1800. - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
  1801. *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  1802. The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
  1803. instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
  1804. *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  1805. Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
  1806. possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
  1807. more information.
  1808. *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
  1809. One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
  1810. which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
  1811. ~org-drawers~ variable.
  1812. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
  1813. Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
  1814. mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
  1815. "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
  1816. configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
  1817. *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
  1818. If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
  1819. argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
  1820. representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
  1821. default is =hline=.
  1822. *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
  1823. For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch in
  1824. a source block.
  1825. *** New option in ASCII export
  1826. Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting ~org-ascii-list-margin~
  1827. variable to an appropriate integer.
  1828. *** New blocks in ASCII export
  1829. ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT=
  1830. blocks. See documentation for details.
  1831. *** More back-end specific publishing options
  1832. The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
  1833. increased. See manual for details.
  1834. *** Export inline source blocks
  1835. Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
  1836. now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
  1837. in the output, depending on the parameters.
  1838. *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
  1839. These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
  1840. *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
  1841. *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
  1842. *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
  1843. This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
  1844. more features. See docstring for details.
  1845. *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
  1846. *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
  1847. Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
  1848. document, before wrapping it within the template.
  1849. *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
  1850. : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
  1851. : #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1852. : This sentence is false.
  1853. : #+END_EXAMPLE
  1854. will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
  1855. *** Various improvements on radio tables
  1856. Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
  1857. ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
  1858. parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are new
  1859. parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
  1860. ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
  1861. docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
  1862. *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
  1863. It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction
  1864. with source blocks exported by the minted package.
  1865. *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
  1866. Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
  1867. would throw an error. A new variable ~org-table-formula-create-columns~
  1868. was added to adjust this behavior. It is now possible to silently add
  1869. new columns, to do so with a warning or to explicitly ask the user
  1870. each time.
  1871. *** ASCII plot
  1872. Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
  1873. for details.
  1874. *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
  1875. This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
  1876. on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
  1877. *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
  1878. When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
  1879. *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
  1880. This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is now
  1881. deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
  1882. special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
  1883. *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  1884. See the docstring for more information.
  1885. *** Export unnumbered headlines
  1886. Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
  1887. exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
  1888. property is inherited by children.
  1889. *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
  1890. It is now possible to specify a function, both programmatically,
  1891. through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~ keys,
  1892. to sort a table.
  1893. *** Table of contents can be local to a section
  1894. The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See manual
  1895. for details.
  1896. *** Countdown timers can now be paused
  1897. ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
  1898. countdown timers.
  1899. *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
  1900. When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
  1901. displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
  1902. *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
  1903. It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
  1904. ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
  1905. *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
  1906. It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
  1907. ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
  1908. manual for details.
  1909. *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
  1910. It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
  1911. title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
  1912. *** New entities family: "\_ "
  1913. "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
  1914. back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
  1915. leading spaces within table cells.
  1916. *** New MathJax configuration options
  1917. Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
  1918. of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
  1919. *** New behavior in `org-export-options-alist'
  1920. When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
  1921. `parse' behavior on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
  1922. `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
  1923. However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
  1924. =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
  1925. value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
  1926. keywords and properties.
  1927. *** Viewport support in html export
  1928. Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
  1929. when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
  1930. *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
  1931. Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
  1932. for details.
  1933. *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
  1934. Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
  1935. allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in a
  1936. dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
  1937. *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
  1938. Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
  1939. added to headline text.
  1940. *** Support for images in Texinfo export
  1941. ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See the manual for details.
  1942. *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
  1943. Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
  1944. of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
  1945. =#+TOC= keyword.
  1946. *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
  1947. In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
  1948. set using the hh:mm:ss format.
  1949. *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
  1950. ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for the
  1951. number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original subtree
  1952. and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
  1953. *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
  1954. It encompasses all past closed clocks.
  1955. *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
  1956. See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
  1957. ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
  1958. *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
  1959. *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
  1960. ** Removed functions
  1961. *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
  1962. Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
  1963. *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
  1964. This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
  1965. current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
  1966. it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
  1967. accessible from the export dispatcher.
  1968. *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
  1969. ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
  1970. *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
  1971. This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
  1972. references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
  1973. *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
  1974. The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
  1975. optional argument.
  1976. *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
  1977. These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
  1978. anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
  1979. ** Removed options
  1980. *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
  1981. It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
  1982. compatibility.
  1983. If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
  1984. two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
  1985. *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
  1986. Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
  1987. body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
  1988. document instead.
  1989. *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
  1990. Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
  1991. everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
  1992. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
  1993. This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name= at
  1994. the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behavior is to use the value
  1995. of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell language is =shell=. To chose
  1996. a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind this
  1997. variable locally.
  1998. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
  1999. This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
  2000. styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
  2001. be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
  2002. compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
  2003. anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
  2004. *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
  2005. Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
  2006. would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
  2007. removed.
  2008. *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
  2009. Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
  2010. *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
  2011. This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
  2012. *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
  2013. This variable has no effect since August 2009.
  2014. *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
  2015. MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
  2016. end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
  2017. ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
  2018. ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
  2019. *** Removed comment-related filters
  2020. ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
  2021. ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
  2022. anymore.
  2023. ** Miscellaneous
  2024. *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
  2025. ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
  2026. *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
  2027. Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
  2028. =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
  2029. *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
  2030. As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
  2031. footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
  2032. labels colliding.
  2033. *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
  2034. This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
  2035. =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
  2036. *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
  2037. =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
  2038. *** Select tests to perform with the build system
  2039. The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
  2040. regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
  2041. This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
  2042. particular test failure was introduced.
  2043. *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
  2044. Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
  2045. the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as well
  2046. as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~ when
  2047. ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
  2048. *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
  2049. New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
  2050. Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
  2051. *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  2052. If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
  2053. ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~ now.
  2054. *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
  2055. This helps spotting wrong links.
  2056. * Version 8.2
  2057. ** Incompatible changes
  2058. *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
  2059. This may require two changes in user config.
  2060. 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
  2061. 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
  2062. to remove "sh" and include "shell".
  2063. *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
  2064. Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
  2065. 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
  2066. need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
  2067. Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
  2068. =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
  2069. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
  2070. with this:
  2071. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  2072. *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
  2073. Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
  2074. t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
  2075. option keywords like :html-include-style.
  2076. So you need to replace
  2077. : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
  2078. by
  2079. : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
  2080. Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
  2081. and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
  2082. *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
  2083. ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
  2084. process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
  2085. relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
  2086. Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
  2087. the other optional arguments accordingly.
  2088. *** Export back-ends are now structures
  2089. Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
  2090. communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
  2091. now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
  2092. of a symbol.
  2093. Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
  2094. ** Important bugfixes
  2095. *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
  2096. *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
  2097. *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
  2098. You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
  2099. this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
  2100. separator starting a TOTO match string.
  2101. ** New features
  2102. *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
  2103. See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
  2104. of the list.
  2105. *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
  2106. - Support SVG images
  2107. - Support for .pgf files
  2108. - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
  2109. - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
  2110. - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
  2111. replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
  2112. or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
  2113. - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
  2114. now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
  2115. *** New functions for paragraph motion
  2116. The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
  2117. that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
  2118. in a paragraph-like way.
  2119. *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  2120. Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
  2121. dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
  2122. leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
  2123. preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
  2124. check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
  2125. *** Anonymous export back-ends
  2126. ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
  2127. which can then be passed to export functions like
  2128. ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
  2129. It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
  2130. registering a new back-end.
  2131. *** New agenda fortnight view
  2132. The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
  2133. views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
  2134. ** New options
  2135. *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
  2136. This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
  2137. *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
  2138. This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
  2139. See https://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
  2140. *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
  2141. This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
  2142. the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
  2143. Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
  2144. allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
  2145. library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
  2146. so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
  2147. t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
  2148. of =ox-rss.el=.
  2149. *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
  2150. This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
  2151. *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
  2152. This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
  2153. *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
  2154. See [[https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
  2155. *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
  2156. If you set this to the following
  2157. : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
  2158. then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
  2159. *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
  2160. This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
  2161. =C-o= in tables.
  2162. ** New contributed packages
  2163. - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
  2164. export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
  2165. software.
  2166. - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
  2167. screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
  2168. ** Miscellaneous
  2169. *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
  2170. "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
  2171. starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
  2172. a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
  2173. the same with example blocks.
  2174. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
  2175. release.
  2176. * Version 8.0.1
  2177. ** Installation
  2178. Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
  2179. If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
  2180. instructions:
  2181. - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
  2182. =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
  2183. customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
  2184. - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
  2185. correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
  2186. only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
  2187. the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
  2188. detailed explanations.
  2189. - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
  2190. you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
  2191. function has been called already.
  2192. When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
  2193. installation.
  2194. See https://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
  2195. ** Incompatible changes
  2196. Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
  2197. If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
  2198. If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
  2199. you will have to update them.
  2200. Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
  2201. See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
  2202. this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
  2203. **** New export engine
  2204. Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
  2205. export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
  2206. already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
  2207. /all/ export back-ends.
  2208. The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
  2209. keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
  2210. built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
  2211. directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
  2212. [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
  2213. More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
  2214. corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
  2215. If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
  2216. rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
  2217. option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
  2218. manual for details and check [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
  2219. **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
  2220. : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
  2221. should now be written
  2222. : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
  2223. Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
  2224. respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
  2225. each backend. See Org's manual for details.
  2226. **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
  2227. You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
  2228. Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
  2229. now fully removed.
  2230. Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
  2231. remember templates into capture templates.
  2232. **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
  2233. If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
  2234. will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
  2235. **** Note for third-party developers
  2236. The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
  2237. prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
  2238. files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
  2239. If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
  2240. code.
  2241. **** Packages moved from core to contrib
  2242. Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
  2243. to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
  2244. moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
  2245. The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
  2246. is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
  2247. included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
  2248. user-base.
  2249. - org-colview-xemacs.el
  2250. - org-mac-message.el
  2251. - org-mew.el
  2252. - org-wl.el
  2253. - ox-freedmind.el
  2254. - ox-taskjuggler.el
  2255. Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
  2256. ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
  2257. ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
  2258. Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
  2259. wrote [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
  2260. ** New packages in core
  2261. *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
  2262. =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
  2263. *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
  2264. =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
  2265. *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
  2266. =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
  2267. vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
  2268. *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
  2269. =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
  2270. ** New packages in contrib
  2271. *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
  2272. [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
  2273. =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
  2274. code.
  2275. *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
  2276. [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
  2277. software, written entirely in the C programming language.
  2278. ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
  2279. entries.
  2280. *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
  2281. ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
  2282. *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
  2283. Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
  2284. Also see [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
  2285. for starting headlines.
  2286. *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
  2287. ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
  2288. locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
  2289. the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
  2290. [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
  2291. *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
  2292. ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
  2293. *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
  2294. [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
  2295. presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  2296. using =deck.js=.
  2297. [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
  2298. presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  2299. using =s5=.
  2300. *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
  2301. The [[https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
  2302. plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
  2303. output.
  2304. Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
  2305. conversion from Org files to groff.
  2306. *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
  2307. This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
  2308. *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
  2309. This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
  2310. with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
  2311. entirely with Org.
  2312. ** New features
  2313. *** Export
  2314. **** New export generic options
  2315. If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
  2316. it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
  2317. Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
  2318. - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
  2319. =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
  2320. You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
  2321. file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
  2322. - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
  2323. =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
  2324. now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
  2325. [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
  2326. new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
  2327. set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
  2328. standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
  2329. contains time-stamps.
  2330. To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
  2331. Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
  2332. the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
  2333. **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
  2334. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
  2335. **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
  2336. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
  2337. **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
  2338. **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
  2339. **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
  2340. *** Structure editing
  2341. **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
  2342. **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
  2343. [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
  2344. prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
  2345. **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
  2346. This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
  2347. would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
  2348. create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
  2349. an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
  2350. region.
  2351. **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
  2352. In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
  2353. _words__= will preserve markup.
  2354. **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
  2355. This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
  2356. is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
  2357. can slow down the flow of editing too much.
  2358. **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
  2359. These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
  2360. speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
  2361. **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
  2362. These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
  2363. now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
  2364. =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
  2365. forward and backward.
  2366. **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
  2367. **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
  2368. Now Org will sort this list
  2369. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  2370. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  2371. like this:
  2372. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  2373. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  2374. by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
  2375. Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
  2376. **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
  2377. For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
  2378. =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
  2379. states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
  2380. In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
  2381. local variable.
  2382. **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
  2383. The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
  2384. When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
  2385. time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
  2386. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
  2387. This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
  2388. restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
  2389. The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
  2390. restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
  2391. option to =nil=.
  2392. **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
  2393. When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
  2394. removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
  2395. information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
  2396. If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
  2397. TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
  2398. **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
  2399. This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
  2400. The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
  2401. fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
  2402. : #+attr_html: :width 300px
  2403. *** Scheduled/deadline
  2404. **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
  2405. If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
  2406. now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
  2407. task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
  2408. from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
  2409. Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
  2410. you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
  2411. display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
  2412. to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
  2413. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
  2414. occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
  2415. occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
  2416. and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
  2417. control this globally or per agenda.
  2418. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
  2419. See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
  2420. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
  2421. =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
  2422. *** Calendar, diary and appts
  2423. **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
  2424. By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
  2425. normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
  2426. the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
  2427. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2428. ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
  2429. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
  2430. ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
  2431. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
  2432. (kbd "@")
  2433. (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
  2434. #+END_SRC
  2435. **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
  2436. This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
  2437. appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
  2438. call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
  2439. **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
  2440. [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
  2441. in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
  2442. only show their description, not the full links.
  2443. *** Agenda
  2444. **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
  2445. When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
  2446. list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
  2447. want to build a list of appointments.
  2448. You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
  2449. each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
  2450. Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
  2451. : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
  2452. This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
  2453. time value (i.e. appointments).
  2454. **** New agenda sorting strategies
  2455. [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
  2456. | Strategy | Explanations |
  2457. |----------------+------------------------------------------|
  2458. | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
  2459. | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
  2460. | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
  2461. | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
  2462. | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
  2463. | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
  2464. | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
  2465. | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
  2466. | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
  2467. | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
  2468. **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
  2469. You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
  2470. different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
  2471. while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
  2472. These new options are available:
  2473. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
  2474. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
  2475. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
  2476. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
  2477. For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
  2478. view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
  2479. without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
  2480. When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
  2481. to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
  2482. no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
  2483. to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
  2484. show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
  2485. non-tagged headlines.
  2486. **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
  2487. You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
  2488. regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
  2489. example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
  2490. that take only =N= minutes.
  2491. **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
  2492. You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
  2493. == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
  2494. [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
  2495. **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
  2496. Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
  2497. filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
  2498. **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
  2499. You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
  2500. headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
  2501. This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
  2502. list of notes.
  2503. **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
  2504. It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
  2505. your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
  2506. =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
  2507. This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
  2508. change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
  2509. **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
  2510. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
  2511. to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
  2512. This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
  2513. **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
  2514. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
  2515. display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
  2516. outline tree.
  2517. **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
  2518. =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
  2519. overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
  2520. asks for a confirmation.
  2521. **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
  2522. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
  2523. the mark of the entry at point.
  2524. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
  2525. toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
  2526. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
  2527. This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
  2528. E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
  2529. level 1.
  2530. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
  2531. This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
  2532. options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
  2533. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
  2534. This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
  2535. entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
  2536. **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
  2537. The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
  2538. it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
  2539. [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
  2540. string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
  2541. **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  2542. When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
  2543. =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
  2544. repeated beyond the current deadline.
  2545. **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
  2546. This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
  2547. which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
  2548. prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
  2549. deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
  2550. Read the full docstring for details.
  2551. **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
  2552. For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
  2553. : * Task
  2554. : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
  2555. *** Capture
  2556. **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
  2557. With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
  2558. point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
  2559. capture template.
  2560. **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
  2561. If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
  2562. expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
  2563. **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
  2564. [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  2565. allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
  2566. be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
  2567. check against the name of the buffer.
  2568. *** Tag groups
  2569. Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
  2570. (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
  2571. headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
  2572. of those tags.)
  2573. You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
  2574. agenda views, and for filtering.
  2575. See https://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
  2576. *** Links
  2577. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
  2578. Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
  2579. other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
  2580. through new link protocols (see [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
  2581. Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
  2582. as if the protocol was not known.
  2583. You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
  2584. **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
  2585. Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
  2586. Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
  2587. RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
  2588. active.
  2589. **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
  2590. =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
  2591. description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
  2592. with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
  2593. **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
  2594. When storing a link to a headline like
  2595. : * See [[https://orgmode.org][Org website]]
  2596. [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
  2597. It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
  2598. there is no description.
  2599. *** Table
  2600. **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
  2601. If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
  2602. apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
  2603. those other formulas.
  2604. **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
  2605. If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
  2606. [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
  2607. mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
  2608. the end.
  2609. **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
  2610. If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
  2611. english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
  2612. internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
  2613. doing computation.
  2614. **** New lookup functions
  2615. There are now three lookup functions:
  2616. - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
  2617. - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
  2618. - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
  2619. See [[https://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
  2620. *** Startup keywords
  2621. These new startup keywords are now available:
  2622. | Startup keyword | Option |
  2623. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  2624. | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
  2625. | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
  2626. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  2627. | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
  2628. | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
  2629. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  2630. | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
  2631. | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
  2632. *** Clocking
  2633. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
  2634. E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
  2635. clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
  2636. 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
  2637. your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
  2638. **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
  2639. When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
  2640. day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
  2641. for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
  2642. the clocktable.
  2643. See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
  2644. [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
  2645. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
  2646. This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
  2647. milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
  2648. **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
  2649. When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
  2650. option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
  2651. [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
  2652. **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
  2653. **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
  2654. **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
  2655. **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
  2656. **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
  2657. **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
  2658. **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
  2659. *** Babel
  2660. **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
  2661. This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
  2662. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
  2663. This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
  2664. same target than the block at point.
  2665. **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
  2666. When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
  2667. in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
  2668. file under the same directory than the base Org file.
  2669. When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
  2670. the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
  2671. time.
  2672. **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
  2673. This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
  2674. code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
  2675. manual for a usage example.
  2676. **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
  2677. If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
  2678. the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
  2679. collecting blocks for tangling.
  2680. **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
  2681. **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
  2682. Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
  2683. cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
  2684. **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
  2685. **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
  2686. When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
  2687. instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
  2688. *** Faces
  2689. - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
  2690. - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
  2691. - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
  2692. - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags
  2693. ** Miscellaneous
  2694. - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
  2695. - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
  2696. - [[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]]
  2697. - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
  2698. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  2699. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  2700. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  2701. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
  2702. - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
  2703. - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
  2704. - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
  2705. - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
  2706. - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
  2707. - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
  2708. - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
  2709. - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
  2710. - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
  2711. - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports OS X versions up to 10.8
  2712. - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
  2713. ** Outside Org
  2714. *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
  2715. David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
  2716. You can read the [[https://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
  2717. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  2718. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  2719. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  2720. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  2721. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  2722. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  2723. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  2724. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  2725. found here: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  2726. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
  2727. - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
  2728. - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
  2729. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  2730. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  2731. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  2732. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  2733. * Version 7.9.3
  2734. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  2735. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  2736. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  2737. agenda views.)
  2738. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  2739. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  2740. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  2741. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  2742. agenda type to this variable.
  2743. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  2744. generation.
  2745. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  2746. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  2747. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  2748. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  2749. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  2750. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  2751. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  2752. invisible) blocked tasks.
  2753. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  2754. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  2755. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  2756. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  2757. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  2758. ** No GPL manual anymore
  2759. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  2760. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  2761. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  2762. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  2763. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  2764. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  2765. in most environments.
  2766. * Version 7.9.2
  2767. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  2768. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  2769. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2770. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  2771. #+END_SRC
  2772. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  2773. available through https://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  2774. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  2775. directory.)
  2776. See https://orgmode.org/elpa/
  2777. ** Overview of the new keybindings
  2778. | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
  2779. |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|

  2792. | C-c , | , | [[doc::org-priority][org-priority]] |
  2793. ** New package and Babel language
  2794. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  2795. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  2796. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  2797. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  2798. ** Incompatible changes
  2799. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  2800. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  2801. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  2802. instead.
  2803. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  2804. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  2805. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  2806. ** New features and user-visible changes
  2807. *** Org Element
  2808. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  2809. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  2810. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  2811. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  2812. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  2813. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  2814. See the docstrings for more details.
  2815. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  2816. on =org-element.el=.
  2817. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  2818. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  2819. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  2820. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  2821. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  2822. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  2823. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  2824. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  2825. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  2826. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  2827. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  2828. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  2829. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  2830. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  2831. elements.
  2832. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  2833. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  2834. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  2835. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  2836. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  2837. item. Etc.
  2838. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  2839. the whole list.
  2840. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  2841. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  2842. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  2843. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  2844. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  2845. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  2846. the same level.
  2847. *** Org Agenda
  2848. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  2849. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  2850. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  2851. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  2852. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  2853. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  2854. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  2855. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  2856. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  2857. generating new ones.
  2858. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  2859. agenda buffer.
  2860. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  2861. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  2862. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  2863. to this value
  2864. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  2865. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  2866. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  2867. #+END_SRC
  2868. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  2869. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  2870. details on how to use this.
  2871. **** Changes in bulk actions
  2872. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  2873. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  2874. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  2875. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  2876. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  2877. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  2878. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  2879. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  2880. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  2881. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  2882. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  2883. =t=.
  2884. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  2885. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  2886. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  2887. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  2888. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  2889. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  2890. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  2891. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  2892. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  2893. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  2894. =f= or =w=).
  2895. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  2896. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  2897. of deadline.
  2898. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  2899. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  2900. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  2901. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  2902. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  2903. several times.
  2904. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  2905. See the [[https://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  2906. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  2907. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  2908. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  2909. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  2910. filters and category filters.
  2911. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  2912. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  2913. configuration.
  2914. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  2915. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  2916. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  2917. point.
  2918. *** Org Links
  2919. **** Inserting links
  2920. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  2921. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  2922. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  2923. want to insert.
  2924. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  2925. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  2926. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  2927. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  2928. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  2929. highlighted.
  2930. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  2931. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  2932. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  2933. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  2934. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  2935. **** New link type =help=
  2936. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  2937. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  2938. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  2939. you go back to the same buffer.
  2940. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  2941. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  2942. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  2943. =org-stored-links=.
  2944. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  2945. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  2946. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  2947. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  2948. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  2949. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  2950. *** Org Editing
  2951. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  2952. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  2953. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  2954. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  2955. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  2956. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  2957. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  2958. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  2959. all headlines in the region.
  2960. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  2961. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  2962. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  2963. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  2964. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  2965. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  2966. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  2967. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  2968. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  2969. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  2970. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  2971. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  2972. undo RET=.
  2973. *** Org Clock
  2974. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  2975. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  2976. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  2977. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  2978. clocked entry, if any.
  2979. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  2980. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  2981. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  2982. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  2983. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  2984. out.
  2985. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  2986. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  2987. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  2988. arguments).
  2989. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  2990. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  2991. in.
  2992. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  2993. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  2994. cells in clockreport.
  2995. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  2996. time cells in clockreport.
  2997. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  2998. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  2999. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  3000. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  3001. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  3002. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  3003. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  3004. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  3005. space in the frame title.
  3006. *** Org Appearance
  3007. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  3008. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  3009. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  3010. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  3011. don't want to see temporarily.
  3012. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  3013. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  3014. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  3015. There are these new entities:
  3016. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  3017. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  3018. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  3019. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  3020. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  3021. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  3022. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  3023. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  3024. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  3025. The face is back to a normal height.
  3026. *** Org Columns
  3027. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  3028. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  3029. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  3030. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  3031. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  3032. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  3033. block will use its value as the column format.
  3034. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  3035. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  3036. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  3037. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  3038. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  3039. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  3040. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  3041. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  3042. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  3043. You can now use
  3044. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  3045. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  3046. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  3047. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  3048. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  3049. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  3050. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  3051. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  3052. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  3053. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  3054. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  3055. *** Org Capture
  3056. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  3057. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  3058. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  3059. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  3060. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  3061. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  3062. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  3063. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  3064. set to this value
  3065. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  3066. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  3067. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  3068. #+END_SRC
  3069. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  3070. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  3071. more details on how to use this.
  3072. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  3073. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  3074. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  3075. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  3076. =nil=.
  3077. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  3078. See the manual for more explanations.
  3079. **** More control over empty lines
  3080. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  3081. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  3082. explanations.
  3083. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  3084. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  3085. *** Org Export
  3086. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  3087. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  3088. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  3089. available) to print beautiful tables.
  3090. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  3091. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  3092. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  3093. the table.
  3094. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  3095. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  3096. in the #+DATE option.
  3097. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  3098. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  3099. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  3100. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  3101. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  3102. More languages are always welcome.
  3103. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  3104. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  3105. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  3106. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  3107. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[https://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  3108. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  3109. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  3110. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  3111. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  3112. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  3113. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  3114. *** Org Babel
  3115. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  3116. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  3117. supported.
  3118. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  3119. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  3120. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  3121. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  3122. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  3123. It used to exports the results of the code.
  3124. *** Miscellaneous
  3125. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  3126. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  3127. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  3128. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  3129. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  3130. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  3131. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  3132. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  3133. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  3134. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  3135. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  3136. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  3137. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  3138. alarm.
  3139. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  3140. This will increment the effort value.
  3141. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  3142. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  3143. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  3144. attach symbolic links.
  3145. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  3146. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  3147. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  3148. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  3149. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  3150. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  3151. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  3152. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  3153. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  3154. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  3155. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  3156. all top level list items.
  3157. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  3158. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  3159. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  3160. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  3161. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  3162. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  3163. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  3164. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  3165. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  3166. first headline in the region.
  3167. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  3168. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  3169. agenda.
  3170. ** Important bug fixes
  3171. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  3172. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  3173. perform completion with meaningful values.
  3174. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  3175. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  3176. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  3177. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  3178. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  3179. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  3180. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  3181. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  3182. license.
  3183. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  3184. the code and the license to your needs.
  3185. See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  3186. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  3187. * Version 7.8.11
  3188. ** Incompatible changes
  3189. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  3190. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[https://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  3191. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  3192. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  3193. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  3194. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  3195. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  3196. last-minute save.
  3197. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  3198. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  3199. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  3200. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  3201. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  3202. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  3203. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  3204. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  3205. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  3206. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  3207. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  3208. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  3209. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  3210. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  3211. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  3212. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  3213. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  3214. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  3215. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  3216. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  3217. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  3218. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  3219. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  3220. #+end_src
  3221. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  3222. setup./
  3223. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  3224. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  3225. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  3226. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  3227. The two new variables are:
  3228. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  3229. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  3230. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  3231. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  3232. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  3233. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  3234. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  3235. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  3236. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  3237. classes.
  3238. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  3239. document are:
  3240. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  3241. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  3242. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  3243. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  3244. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  3245. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  3246. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  3247. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  3248. #+begin_example
  3249. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  3250. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  3251. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  3252. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  3253. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  3254. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  3255. #+end_example
  3256. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  3257. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  3258. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  3259. applies to the following packages:
  3260. - inputenc
  3261. - fontenc
  3262. - fixltx2e
  3263. - graphicx
  3264. - longtable
  3265. - float
  3266. - wrapfig
  3267. - soul
  3268. - t1enc
  3269. - textcomp
  3270. - marvosym
  3271. - wasysym
  3272. - latexsym
  3273. - amssymb
  3274. - hyperref
  3275. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  3276. you are using, you can remove it from
  3277. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  3278. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  3279. properly.
  3280. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  3281. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  3282. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  3283. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  3284. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  3285. the header.
  3286. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  3287. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  3288. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  3289. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  3290. code using it.
  3291. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  3292. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  3293. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  3294. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  3295. ** Important new features
  3296. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  3297. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  3298. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  3299. for more information on how to customize it.
  3300. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  3301. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  3302. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  3303. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  3304. section [[https://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  3305. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  3306. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  3307. [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  3308. To switch over to the new system:
  3309. 1. Run
  3310. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  3311. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  3312. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  3313. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  3314. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  3315. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  3316. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  3317. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  3318. customization.
  3319. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  3320. with org-remember:
  3321. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  3322. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  3323. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  3324. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  3325. with using both system in parallel.
  3326. ** New libraries
  3327. *** New Org libraries
  3328. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  3329. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  3330. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  3331. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  3332. To use, put the following in your init file:
  3333. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  3334. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  3335. #+END_EXAMPLE
  3336. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  3337. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  3338. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  3339. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  3340. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  3341. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  3342. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  3343. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  3344. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  3345. anything.
  3346. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  3347. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  3348. He also wrote a [[https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  3349. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  3350. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  3351. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  3352. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  3353. /org-ctags.el/.
  3354. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  3355. call function to do something special with text links.
  3356. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  3357. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  3358. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  3359. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  3360. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  3361. Org-mode manual:
  3362. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  3363. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  3364. *** New Babel libraries
  3365. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  3366. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  3367. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  3368. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  3369. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  3370. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  3371. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  3372. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  3373. *** Hyperlinks
  3374. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  3375. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  3376. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  3377. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  3378. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  3379. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  3380. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  3381. The key new functions are
  3382. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  3383. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  3384. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  3385. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  3386. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  3387. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  3388. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  3389. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  3390. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  3391. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  3392. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  3393. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  3394. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  3395. **** Modified link escaping
  3396. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  3397. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  3398. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  3399. : in link target or description) or are not allowed to appear in
  3400. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  3401. : link).
  3402. :
  3403. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  3404. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  3405. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  3406. : percent escaped links are solved.
  3407. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  3408. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  3409. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  3410. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  3411. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  3412. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  3413. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  3414. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  3415. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  3416. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  3417. string to be executed.
  3418. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  3419. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  3420. to org-file-apps:
  3421. #+begin_example
  3422. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  3423. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  3424. #+end_example
  3425. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  3426. *** Dates and time
  3427. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  3428. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  3429. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  3430. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  3431. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  3432. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  3433. will work on the current entry.
  3434. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  3435. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  3436. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  3437. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  3438. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  3439. #+begin_example
  3440. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  3441. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  3442. #+end_example
  3443. *** Agenda
  3444. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  3445. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  3446. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  3447. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  3448. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  3449. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  3450. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  3451. entries using a function.
  3452. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  3453. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  3454. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  3455. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  3456. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  3457. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  3458. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  3459. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  3460. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  3461. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  3462. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  3463. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  3464. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  3465. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  3466. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  3467. *** Exporting
  3468. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  3469. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  3470. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  3471. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  3472. docstring of these variable for details about available
  3473. %-sequences.
  3474. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  3475. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  3476. formatting string will insert a string.
  3477. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  3478. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  3479. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  3480. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  3481. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  3482. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  3483. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  3484. C-e u=, respectively.
  3485. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  3486. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  3487. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  3488. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  3489. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  3490. your preference.
  3491. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  3492. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  3493. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  3494. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  3495. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  3496. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  3497. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  3498. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  3499. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  3500. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  3501. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[https://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  3502. section]] in the manual for more details.
  3503. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  3504. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  3505. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  3506. individual could.
  3507. *** Refiling
  3508. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  3509. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  3510. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  3511. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  3512. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  3513. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  3514. **** New logging support for refiling
  3515. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  3516. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  3517. =org-log-refile=.
  3518. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  3519. *** Completion
  3520. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  3521. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  3522. *** Tables
  3523. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  3524. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  3525. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  3526. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  3527. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  3528. the displayed in the buffer.
  3529. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  3530. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  3531. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  3532. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  3533. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  3534. |--------+--------+---------|
  3535. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  3536. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  3537. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  3538. optional.
  3539. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  3540. feedback on this.
  3541. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  3542. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  3543. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  3544. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  3545. : things like
  3546. :
  3547. : @3=
  3548. : @2$2..@5$7=
  3549. : @I$2..@II$4=
  3550. :
  3551. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  3552. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  3553. : table.
  3554. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  3555. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  3556. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  3557. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  3558. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  3559. *** Lists
  3560. **** Improved handling of lists
  3561. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  3562. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  3563. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  3564. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  3565. indented than it.
  3566. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  3567. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  3568. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  3569. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  3570. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  3571. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  3572. `org-list-export-context'.
  3573. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  3574. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  3575. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  3576. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  3577. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  3578. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  3579. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  3580. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  3581. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  3582. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  3583. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  3584. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  3585. *** Inline display of linked images
  3586. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  3587. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  3588. that have no description part will be inlined.
  3589. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  3590. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  3591. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  3592. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  3593. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  3594. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  3595. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  3596. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  3597. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  3598. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  3599. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  3600. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  3601. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  3602. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  3603. tangling
  3604. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  3605. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  3606. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  3607. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  3608. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  3609. properties or in tables.
  3610. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  3611. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  3612. names, and rownames across all languages.
  3613. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  3614. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  3615. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  3616. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  3617. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  3618. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  3619. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  3620. request by Scott Otterson.
  3621. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  3622. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  3623. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  3624. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  3625. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  3626. superscripts, see the variable
  3627. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  3628. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  3629. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  3630. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  3631. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  3632. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  3633. following new faces:
  3634. =org-document-title=
  3635. =org-document-info=
  3636. =org-document-info-keyword=
  3637. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  3638. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  3639. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  3640. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  3641. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  3642. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  3643. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  3644. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  3645. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  3646. property is affected by this setting.
  3647. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  3648. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  3649. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  3650. Requested by Michael Brand.
  3651. **** Better level cycling function
  3652. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  3653. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  3654. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  3655. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  3656. **** Adaptive filling
  3657. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  3658. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  3659. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  3660. comments to be filled correctly.
  3661. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  3662. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  3663. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  3664. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  3665. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  3666. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  3667. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  3668. *** Clocking
  3669. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  3670. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  3671. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  3672. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  3673. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  3674. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  3675. **** Localized clock tables
  3676. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  3677. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  3678. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  3679. available translated strings.
  3680. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  3681. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  3682. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  3683. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  3684. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  3685. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  3686. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  3687. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  3688. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  3689. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  3690. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  3691. =nil=.
  3692. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  3693. *** Misc
  3694. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  3695. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  3696. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  3697. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  3698. **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  3699. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  3700. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  3701. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  3702. property) back.
  3703. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  3704. change.
  3705. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  3706. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  3707. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  3708. #+begin_example
  3709. org-table-get
  3710. org-table-put
  3711. org-table-current-line
  3712. org-table-goto-line
  3713. #+end_example
  3714. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  3715. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  3716. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  3717. node.
  3718. This was requested by Tom.
  3719. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  3720. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  3721. example by viewing from the agenda.
  3722. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
