  95. <h4>Remember/Refile/Goto</h4>
  96. <ul>
  97. <li>
  98. The use of prefix arguments for the commands `org-remember'
  99. and `org-refile' has been normalized:
  100. <ul>
  101. <li>
  102. when called without prefix argument, the command does its
  103. normal job, starting a remember note or refiling a tree.
  104. </li>
  105. <li>
  106. when called with a single C-u prefix, these commands can be
  107. used to select a target location and to jump there. In
  108. the case of `org-remember', you will be prompted for a
  109. template and then Emacs jumps to the default target
  110. location or this template. In the case of `org-refile',
  111. you select a location from the refile target list and jump
  112. there.
  113. </li>
  114. <li>
  115. when called with two prefixes (`C-u C-u'), the command
  116. jumps to the location last used for storing a note or a
  117. moved tree.
  118. </li>
  119. </ul></li>
  120. <li>
  121. When the clock is running inside an remember buffer, storing
  122. the remember buffer with `C-c C-c' will automatically clock
  123. out. This was inspired by a request by Rainer Stengle.
  124. </li>
  125. <li>
  126. The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'
  127. introduced only in 5.19 is already obsolete. Please use
  128. `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead. This new
  129. variable does select the interface that is used to select
  130. the target for a remember note in an interactive way.
  131. Possible values are:
  132. <ul>
  133. <li>
  134. `outline': Use an outline of the document to select a
  135. location.
  136. </li>
  137. <li>
  138. `outline-path-completion': Use completion of an outline
  139. path to select a location.
  140. </li>
  141. <li>
  142. `refile': Offer the `org-refile-targets' as possible
  143. targets.
  144. </li>
  145. </ul></li>
  146. <li>
  147. It is no longer necessary to update the refiling targets -
  148. they are always current.
  149. </li>
  150. <li>
  151. In `org-goto', typing characters now automatically starts
  152. isearch from the beginning of the buffer. The isearch is
  153. special also because it only matches in headline. This
  154. goes some way toward saving org-goto from being removed
  155. from Org-mode. Thanks to Piotr Zielinski for the code, and
  156. sorry that it took me so long to put it in. If you prefer
  157. to use single letters n,p,f,b,u,q for navigation as before,
  158. configure the variable `org-goto-auto-isearch'.
  159. </li>
  160. <li>
  161. Outline-path-completion is now available as an alternative
  162. interface in the command `org-goto'. Please select the
  163. default interface you'd like to use with the new variable
  164. `org-goto-interface'. You can then select the alternative
  165. interface with a prefix argument to `C-c C-j' (org-goto). I
  166. am considering to make outline-path-completion the default
  167. interface. Comments?
  168. </li>
  169. </ul></div>
  170. <div class="outline-4">
  171. <h4>Misc</h4>
  172. <ul>
  173. <li>
  174. Checkboxes now work hierarchically. When a plain-list item
  175. with a checkbox has children with checkboxes, the status of
  176. the item's checkbox is calculated from the children, each
  177. time a checkbox is toggled with C-c C-c. Thanks to Miguel
  178. A. Figueroa-Villanueva for a patch to this effect.
  179. </li>
  180. <li>
  181. There is a new variable `org-special-ctrl-k'. When set,
  182. `C-k' will behave specially in headlines:
  183. <ul>
  184. <li>
  185. When the cursor is at the beginning of a headline, kill
  186. the entire line and possible the folded subtree below the
  187. line.
  188. </li>
  189. <li>
  190. When in the middle of the headline text, kill the
  191. headline up to the tags.
  192. </li>
  193. <li>
  194. When after the headline text, kill the tags.
  195. </li>
  196. </ul>
  197. <p>This is following a proposal by Piotr Zielinski.
  198. </p>
  199. </li>
  200. <li>
  201. You can now also have a plain (as opposed to deadline or
  202. scheduled) repeater timestamp in a task. Switching the task
  203. to DONE will now also shift a plain time stamp. This was a
  204. request by Austin Frank.
  205. </li>
  206. <li>
  207. If an entry is clocked multiple times, it will now show up
  208. several times in the agenda and timeline buffers, when
  209. log-mode is on. This was a proposal by Jurgen Defurne.

  212. The clock table accepts a new parameter <code>:step</code>. This
  213. parameter can be `day' or `week' and will result in separate
  214. tables for each day or week in the requested time interval.
  215. This was triggered by a proposal by Sacha Chua in her <a href="http://sachachua.com/wp/2007/12/30/clocking-time-with-emacs-org/">blog</a>.
  216. </li>
  217. <li>
  218. A time-stamp with a repeater now no longer refers to the
  219. date <b>closest</b> to the current day. Instead, it means either
  220. today or the most recent match. This change makes sure that
  221. overdue scheduled or deadline items never disappear from the
  222. agenda. With the previous convention, an overdue scheduled
  223. item would disappear. For example, a weekly item scheduled
  224. for Sunday would appear as overdue until Wednesday, and the
  225. suddenly disappear until next Sunday. Now the item will
  226. show up as "Sched 7x" on Saturday. From Sunday on it will
  227. be in the list as "Scheduled", i.e. old sins will be
  228. forgiven. This follows a request by Warong, Dennis and
  229. Bernt.
  230. </li>
  231. <li>
  232. Archiving a subtree now creates an additional property,
  233. <code>ARCHIVE_OLPATH</code>. This property contains the "path" in the
  234. outline tree to the archived entry, as it was in the
  235. original file. For example, archiving <code>Fix the door</code> in the
  236. following hierarchy
  237. <p>
  238. <pre>
  239. * Tasks
  240. ** HOME
  241. *** Garage
  242. **** Fix the door
  243. </pre>
  244. </p>
  245. <p>
  246. will file is with the following property
  247. </p>
  248. <p>
  249. <pre>
  250. :ARCHIVE_PATH: Task/HOME/Garage
  251. </pre>
  252. </p>
  253. <p>
  254. Note that you can configure (i.e. limit) the information
  255. that gets stored upon archiving with the variable
  256. `org-archive-save-context-info'.

  307. A new special column definition lists the sum of all CLOCK
  308. entries in a subtree. For example
  309. <p>
  310. <pre>
  311. #+COLUMNS: %20ITEM %10Time_Estimate{:} %CLOCKSUM
  312. </pre>
  313. </p>
  314. <p>
  315. will allow you to compare estimated times (as given in the
  316. Time_Estimate property) with the clocked times. This was a
  317. request by Bernt Hansen.
  318. </p>
  319. </li>
  320. <li>
  321. Storing remember notes can now use the `org-refile'
  322. interface instead of the `org-goto' interface (see the
  323. variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive').
  324. Nothing will change if the note is stored immediately after
  325. pressing `C-c C-c' in the <code>*Remember*</code> buffer. But if you
  326. have chosen (e.g. by pressing `C-u C-c C-c') to
  327. interactively select the filing location (file and
  328. headline), the refile interface will be used instead. I am
  329. excited about this change, because the `org-goto' interface
  330. is basically a failure, at least for this application. Note
  331. that in any case the refile interface has to be configured
  332. first by customizing `org-refile-targets'.
  333. </li>
  334. <li>
  335. Notes inserted with remember now remove any whitespace
  336. before and after the note before being pasted, so that there
  337. will be no empty lines inserted together with the note. We
  338. could invent special syntax in remember templates to allow
  339. creating empty lines before a note - is there anyone who'd
  340. want this?
  341. </li>
  342. <li>
  343. Moving subtrees now folds all siblings of the subtree. This
  344. is the only reasonably simple way I could find to avoid the
  345. reported inconsistencies in the folding state of the outline
  346. tree after moving entries. There are reasons to like this
  347. new behavior, because it easily visualizes where the tree is
  348. located after the move. Still, not everyone might be happy
  349. with this. Massive complaining would be needed to make me
  350. fix this.
  351. </li>
  352. <li>
  353. New variable `org-agenda-todo-keyword-format' to specify the
  354. width of the TODO keyword field in the agenda display. Use
  355. it to get things to line up better. This was a proposal by
  356. Rainer Stengele.
  357. </li>
  358. <li>
  359. If a link description inserted with `C-c C-l' contains
  360. brackets, the brackets will now be converted into curly
  361. braces. This looks similar enough. Supporting brackets in
  362. link descriptions is, for technical reasons too long to
  363. explain here, complex.
  364. </li>
  365. <li>
  366. The new option `org-clock-in-switch-to-state' can be set to
  367. a TODO state that will be enforced when the clock is started
  368. on an entry. This follows an idea by Sacha Chua.
  369. </li>
  370. <li>
  371. The EXPORT_FILE_NAME property may now also be an absolute
  372. file name, and it may contain abbreviations like "~" for the
  373. users home directory. This was requested by Adam Spiers.

  392. <ul>
  393. <li>
  394. When cutting, pasting, or moving subtrees and items, the
  395. empty lines <b>before</b> the subtree/item now belong to the
  396. part and will be moved with it. There is one exception to
  397. this rule: If the first child is moved down (or,
  398. equivalently, the second is moved up), the amount of empty
  399. lines <b>above</b> the first child to be moved along with it is
  400. limited by the number of empty lines <b>below</b> it. This
  401. sounds complicated, but it allows to have extra empty space
  402. before the first child and still have good behavior of the
  403. subtree motion commands.
  404. </li>
  405. <li>
  406. Plain lists items work the same.

  409. <p>I believe we have finally nailed this one. Thanks to Daniel
  410. Pittman for bring this up again and to Eric Schulte for
  411. pointing out that it is the empty lines <b>before</b> an entry
  412. that really count.

  422. <li>
  423. The new command `org-remember-goto-last-stored' will jump
  424. to the location of the remember note stored most recently.
  425. If you have `org-remember' on a key like `C-c r', then you
  426. can go to the location with a double prefix arg: `C-u C-u
  427. C-c r'. This was a proposal by Rainer Stengele.
  428. </li>
  429. <li>
  430. Template items that are being prompted for can now specify
  431. a default value and a completion table. Furthermore,
  432. previous inputs at a specific prompt are captured in a
  433. history variable. For example:
  434. <p>
  435. <pre>
  436. %^{Author|Roald Dahl|Thomas Mann|Larry Niven}
  437. </pre>
  438. </p>
  439. <p>
  440. will prompt for an author name. Pressing RET without
  441. typing anything will select "Roald Dahl". Completion will
  442. give you any of the three names. And a history will be
  443. kept, so you can use the arrow keys to get to previous
  444. input. The history is tied to the prompt. By using the
  445. same prompt in different templates, you can build a history
  446. across templates. The ideas for this came from proposals
  447. by Bastien and Adam.
  448. </p>
  449. </li>
  450. <li>
  451. When a remember template contains the string `%!', the note
  452. will be stored immediately after all template parts have
  453. been filled in, so you don't even have to press `C-c
  454. C-c'. The was a proposal by Adam Spiers.

  463. for this proposal.
  464. </li>
  465. <li>
  466. When the new option `org-refile-use-outline-path' is set,
  467. refile targets will be presented like a file path to the
  468. completion interface: "level 1/level 2/level 3". This
  469. may be the fastest interface yet to get to a certain
  470. outline entry. Do we need to use this interface in other
  471. places? Thanks to Jose Ruiz for this proposal.

  481. <h4>Restriction lock on agenda scope</h4>
  482. <p>
  483. You can now permanently lock the agenda construction to a
  484. certain scope, like a file or a subtree. So instead of
  485. pressing "&lt;" for each command in the agenda dispatcher, you
  486. only once select a restriction scope. All subsequent agenda
  487. commands will than respect this restriction. For example,
  488. you can use this at work, to limit agendas to your work file
  489. or tree, and at home to limit to the home file or tree. Or
  490. you can use it during the day in order to focus in on certain
  491. projects.
  492. </p>
  493. <p>
  494. You select a scope with the command `C-c C-x &lt;', which
  495. restricts to the current subtree. When called with a `C-u'
  496. prefix, the restriction is to the current file. You can also
  497. make restrictions from the speedbar frame, see below.
  498. </p>
  499. <p>
  500. When making a new restriction and an agenda window is
  501. currently visible, it will immediately be updated to reflect
  502. the new scope. TO if you like you can display an agenda view
  503. and then watch it change in various scopes.
  504. </p>
  505. <p>
  506. To get rid of the restriction, use the command "C-c C-x &gt;".
  507. Or press "&gt;" in the agenda dispatcher. Also, and use of "&lt;"
  508. in the dispatcher will disable the restriction lock and
  509. select a new restriction.

  529. depth of the menu can be set with the variable
  530. `org-imenu-depth'.
  531. </p>
  532. </li>
  533. <li>
  534. org-mode now supports Speedbar. This means that you can

  536. Org-mode file right from the speedbar frame.
  537. </li>
  538. <li>
  539. You can set a restriction lock for the Org-mode agenda to a
  540. file or a subtree directly from the speedbar frame. Just
  541. press "&lt;" with the cursor on an Org-mode file or subtree to
  542. set the lock and immediately update the agenda if it is
  543. visible. Use "&gt;" to get rid of the lock again.

  720. New command `org-refile' to quickly move a note to a
  721. different place. It is bound to `C-c C-w'. The foremost
  722. application might be to put a note or task captured with
  723. `remember' into the proper list or project. The command
  724. offers a list of possible refiling targets for completion.
  725. These are headings under which the entry will be inserted
  726. as a subitem. By default, this will offer all top-level
  727. headings in the current buffer, but you can configure the
  728. variable `org-refile-targets' to get more complex
  729. definitions. For example:
  730. <p>

  749. it, call the command `C-c C-w' with a double prefix
  750. argument.
  751. </p>
  752. <p>
  753. This is based on an idea and example implementation by Max
  754. Mikhanosha. Many thanks Max.
  755. </p>
  756. </li>
  757. <li>
  758. You can now use a C-u prefix on `org-remember' to jump to
  759. the location where a specific templates stores its notes.
  760. For example, if you have `org-remember' bound to `C-c r',
  761. then `C-u C-c r n' will get you to the file and headline
  762. given in the template associated with the letter "n".
  763. <p>
  764. This was proposed by someone, but I have lost track who.
  765. Sorry, and thanks anyway.
  766. </p>
  767. </li>
  768. <li>
  769. New %-escapes in remember templates:
  770. <p>
  771. <pre>
  772. %c insert the current clipboard, like C-y would do
  773. %(..) evaluate Lisp expression and insert the result
  774. %[..] include file
  775. </pre>
  776. </p>
  777. <p>
  778. Thanks to Adam Spiers and Tim O'Callaghan.
  779. </p>
  780. </li>
  781. <li>
  782. New function `org-remember-insinuate' that makes is easier
  783. to set Org-mode specific values for remember variables.
  784. Thanks to Michael Olson for this proposal. It is
  785. equivalent to:
  786. <p>
  787. <pre>
  788. (require 'remember)
  789. (setq remember-annotation-functions '(org-remember-annotation))
  790. (setq remember-handler-functions '(org-remember-handler))
  791. (add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'org-remember-apply-template))
  792. </pre>
  793. </p>
  794. <p>
  795. You might still want to set `org-default-notes-file' to
  796. provide a default for templates without a file, and
  797. `org-directory' to show where to find other org files.

  802. <h4>Emphasis and Font-lock stuff</h4>
  803. <ul>
  804. <li>
  805. Stacked emphasis like */bold italic/* is no longer allowed.
  806. </li>
  807. <li>
  808. You may finally emphasize a single character like *a*.
  809. </li>
  810. <li>
  811. Font-lock now can hide the emphasis markers, just like Muse
  812. does. Configure the variable `org-hide-emphasis-markers'
  813. if you want this. Showing the characters continues to be
  814. the default in Org-mode.
  815. </li>
  816. <li>
  817. Text in the "=" emphasis is now exported verbatim, i.e. no
  818. further parsing and interpretation of this text takes place. So
  819. you can write =quoted *xxx* a_x = b=. This and the following
  820. point implement a request by Daniel Clemente.
  821. </li>
  822. <li>
  823. There is a new emphasis marker "~" which marks text to be
  824. exported verbatim, without special formatting. Inside an
  825. org-mode file, this text is highlighted with the org-verbatim
  826. face. I am not happy with the face yet (currently is is like
  827. org-code, but underlined), please suggest a better one.
  828. </li>
  829. <li>
  830. Whether an emphasis environment is verbatim or not is now an
  831. extra flag in the variable `org-emphasis-alist'. If you have
  832. configured this variable, do it again by first canceling your
  833. customization to revert to the default, and then adding it
  834. again.
  835. </li>
  836. <li>
  837. New variable `org-highlight-latex-fragments-and-specials'.
  838. When turned on, Org-mode will highlight all strings that
  839. are treated in a special way by the exporters. This is
  840. great for export-oriented writing, but maybe a bit noisy
  841. for note taking, so this feature is off by default.

  848. `org-use-property-inheritance' may now also be a list of
  849. property names that should be treated with inheritance
  850. during searches.
  851. </li>
  852. <li>
  853. CATEGORY="work" can now be used in a tags/property search,
  854. even if the category is not specified as a property in the
  855. entry, but rather is inherited or derived from #+CATEGORY.
  856. Thanks to Adam, Tim, and Bastien for an interesting
  857. discussion around this issue.

  859. <li>
  860. Summary type improvements in column view.
  861. <ul>
  862. <li>
  863. The {+} summary type can specify a printf-style output
  864. format for computed values like this: {+;%5.2f}
  865. This was triggered by a report by Levin.
  866. </li>
  867. <li>
  868. New currency summary type {$}, which so far is just a
  869. shorthand for {+;%.2f}. Do we need to have a currency
  870. symbol in front of each value. Scott Jaderholm asked for
  871. this, but I am not sure if this is already what he meant.

  876. <h4>The date/time prompt</h4>
  877. <p>
  878. There have been several small but <b>very</b> useful additions to
  879. the date prompt.
  880. </p>
  881. <ul>
  882. <li>
  883. While entering data at the date prompt, the current
  884. interpretation of your input is shown next to your input in
  885. the minibuffer. I find this great to understand how the
  886. input works. If you find the extra stuff in the minibuffer
  887. annoying, turn it off with `org-read-date-display-live'.
  888. </li>
  889. <li>
  890. The date prompt now prefers to select the future. If you
  891. enter a date without a month, and the day number is before
  892. today (for example, on the 16th of the month you enter
  893. "9"), Org-mode will assume next month. Similarly, if you
  894. enter a month and no year, next year will be assumed if the
  895. entered month is before the current, for example if you
  896. enter "May" in September. Thanks to John Rakestraw for
  897. this great suggestion. If you find it confusing, turn it
  898. off with `org-read-date-prefer-future'.
  899. </li>
  900. <li>
  901. When modifying an existing date using `C-c .' at the stamp,
  902. the time or time range in the stamp are now offered as
  903. default input at the prompt. This goes a long way to
  904. simplifying the modification of an existing date. Thanks
  905. to Adam Spiers for this proposal.

  1090. (at least I hope so&hellip;).
  1091. </li>
  1092. <li>
  1093. You can now capture a column view into a dynamic block, for
  1094. exporting or printing it. The column view can be
  1095. <ul>
  1096. <li>
  1097. global, i.e. for the entire file
  1098. </li>
  1099. <li>
  1100. local, i.e. for the subtree where the dynamic block is
  1101. </li>
  1102. <li>
  1103. from an entry with a specific :ID: property.
  1104. </li>
  1105. </ul>
  1106. <p>You can identify the entry whose column view you want to
  1107. capture by assigning an :ID: property, and use that property
  1108. in the dynamic block definition. For example:
  1109. </p>
  1110. <p>
  1111. <pre>
  1112. * Planning
  1113. :PROPERTIES:
  1114. :ID: planning-overview
  1115. :END:
  1116. [...]
  1117. * The column view
  1118. #+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "planning-overview"
  1119. #+END:
  1120. </pre>
  1121. </p>
  1122. <p>
  1123. Use `C-c C-x r' to insert such a dynamic block, and you will
  1124. be prompted for the ID.
  1125. </p>
  1126. </li>
  1127. <li>
  1128. When the current column format displays TODO keyword,
  1129. priority or tags, these parts are stripped from the content
  1130. of the ITEM column, making for more compact and readable
  1131. entries. When any of these "properties" are not listed in
  1132. the current column format, they are instead retained in the
  1133. ITEM column.
  1134. </li>
  1135. <li>
  1136. You can now also edit the ITEM column with `e'.
  1137. </li>

  1139. <div class="outline-4">
  1140. <h4>The agenda dispatcher</h4>
  1141. <ul>
  1142. <li>
  1143. Instead of pressing `1' to restrict an agenda command to
  1144. the current buffer, or `0' to restrict it to the current
  1145. subtree or region, you can now also press `&lt;' once or
  1146. twice, respectively. This frees up `1' and `0' for user
  1147. commands, a request by Bastien. In fact, "&lt;" cycles
  1148. through different restriction states. "1" and "0" are
  1149. still available for backward compatibility, until you bind
  1150. them to custom commands.
  1151. </li>
  1152. <li>
  1153. The access code to custom agenda commands can now contain
  1154. several characters, effectively allowing to bundle several
  1155. similar commands into a sub-keymap. This follows an
  1156. excellent proposal by Adam Spiers. For example:
  1157. <p>
  1158. <pre>
  1159. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
  1160. '(("h" . "HOME + Name tag searches") ; describe prefix "h"
  1161. ("hl" tags "+HOME+Lisa")
  1162. ("hp" tags "+HOME+Peter")
  1163. ("hk" tags "+HOME+Kim")))
  1164. </pre>
  1165. </p>
  1166. </li>
  1167. <li>
  1168. The user function option in org-agenda-custom-commands may
  1169. now also be a lambda expression, following a request by
  1170. Adam Spiers.

  1197. <ul>
  1198. <li>
  1199. The table of context is wrapped into a div with a class
  1200. "table-of-contents".

  1211. <p>I am not sure if the class names are the best choice, let me
  1212. know if there are more "canonical" choices.

  1234. </p>
  1235. <p>
  1236. This will define the drawers :HIDDEN: and :STATE:.
  1237. The :PROPERTY: drawer should always be part of this list, or

  1241. </li>
  1242. <li>
  1243. `org-agenda-fontify-priorities' may now also be an
  1244. association list of priorities and faces, to specify the
  1245. faces of priorities in the agenda individually.
  1246. </li>
  1247. <li>
  1248. The variable `org-export-with-property-drawer' no longer
  1249. exists, please use `org-export-with-drawers' instead. Also,
  1250. the corresponding switch in the #+OPTIONS line has changed
  1251. from "p" to "d". Thanks to Bastien for pointing out that we
  1252. needed to handle not only the property drawer.
  1253. </li>
  1254. <li>
  1255. M-up and M-down now move the current line up and down (if
  1256. not at a headline, item or table). Among other things you
  1257. can use this to re-order properties in the drawer. This was
  1258. a proposal by Bastien.
  1259. </li>

  1320. Remember templates can now have a template name as the first
  1321. element. The name will be listed along with the selection
  1322. character when prompting for a template. It is best to have
  1323. the name start with the selection character, for example if

  1325. Thanks to Matiyam for this proposal.

  1328. `C-c C-k' will abort taking a note. You can use this in remember

  1343. New variable `org-scheduled-past-days' to set the number a

  1345. Default is 10000, i.e. indefinitely.
  1346. </li>

  1348. New variables `org-agenda-deadline-leaders' and
  1349. `org-agenda-scheduled-leaders' to adjust the leading text o
  1350. scheduled items and deadline in the agenda. Thanks to John
  1351. Wiegley for a patch.
  1352. </li>
  1353. <li>
  1354. New sparse tree function `org-sparse-tree'. This is now the
  1355. default binding for `C-c /'. It requires one additional
  1356. keypress to select a command, but in return is provides a
  1357. single interface to all the different sparse tree commands,
  1358. with full completion support.
  1359. </li>
  1360. <li>
  1361. The variable `org-ellipsis' now defaults to the face
  1362. `org-link' because the visibility of the dots is really bad
  1363. and I have found this change very useful indeed.
  1364. </li>
  1365. <li>

  1446. The LOGGING property allows to modify the settings for
  1447. progress logging for a single entry. For example:
  1448. <p>
  1449. <pre>
  1450. :PROPERTIES:
  1451. :LOGGING: nologging nologrepeat
  1452. :END:

  1454. </p>
  1455. <p>

  1457. children.
  1458. </p>
  1459. </li>
  1460. <li>
  1461. The properties SUMMARY, DESCRIPTION and LOCATION have
  1462. special meaning during iCalendar export, when they translate
  1463. to the corresponding VEVENT and VTODO fields. If not given,
  1464. Org-ode continues to use cleaned-up version of the headline
  1465. and body as the summary and the description, respectively.
  1466. </li>
  1467. <li>
  1468. New function to go to the entry with the currently running
  1469. clock. Bound to `C-c C-x C-j', in agenda also to "J". If
  1470. you use this often, you might even want to assign a global
  1471. key. Thanks to Bernt and Bastien.
  1472. </li>
  1473. <li>
  1474. Clock entries can now have their own drawer, the :CLOCK:
  1475. drawer. Check out the variable `org-clock-into-drawer' for
  1476. configuration of this feature. The default is to create a
  1477. drawer when the second clocking line gets added to an entry.
  1478. Note that "CLOCK" has been added to the default value of
  1479. `org-drawers', but if you have configured that variable, you
  1480. must go back and add "CLOCK" yourself to get this drawer
  1481. folded away. Thanks to Tom Weissman for pointing out that
  1482. too many clock entries are visually annoying.
  1483. </li>
  1484. <li>
  1485. `C-c C-x C-r' no longer tries to find the first clocktable
  1486. in a buffer and then updates it. Instead, it will update
  1487. the clocktable at point if there is one (same as C-c C-c
  1488. will do if the cursor is in the "#+BEGIN" line of the
  1489. table). If there is none at point, a new one will be
  1490. inserted. This change was necessary because the new :scope
  1491. parameter allows to have several clocktables in a buffer.
  1492. Thanks to Bastien for pointing this out.
  1493. To update all dynamic blocks in a file, use `C-u C-c C-x C-u'.
  1494. </li>
  1495. <li>
  1496. The function `org-remember' can now be called with a
  1497. template selection key as argument. This helps to make key
  1498. bindings that go directly to a specific template without
  1499. being prompted for a template, like this:
  1500. <p>
  1501. <pre>
  1502. (global-set-key [f5] (lambda () (interactive) (org-remember "j")))
  1503. </pre>
  1504. </p>
  1505. <p>
  1506. Thanks to Richard G Riley for bringing this up.
  1507. </p>
  1508. </li>
  1509. <li>
  1510. `C-n' and `C-p' are back to their default binding
  1511. (next/previous line) in the agenda buffer. Enough people,
  1512. including recently Denis Bueno, have complained about this,
  1513. and I agree it is not good to break habits like that.
  1514. </li>
  1515. <li>
  1516. `C-x C-s' in an agenda buffer now saves all org-mode buffers
  1517. (also `s' does this).
  1518. </li>
  1519. <li>
  1520. Setting schedule or deadline dates from the agenda now
  1521. produces a note in the agenda, similarly to what happens
  1522. with S-left/right.
  1523. </li>
  1524. <li>
  1525. Using a prefix argument for `C-c C-d' or `C-c C-s' will
  1526. remove the deadline or scheduling date from an item. Thanks
  1527. to Wanrong Lin for this proposal.
  1528. </li>
  1529. <li>
  1530. New variable `org-agenda-compact-blocks'. When set, the
  1531. space between blocks in a block agenda is reduced as much as
  1532. possible, to show more items on a single screen.
  1533. </li>
  1534. <li>
  1535. The variable `org-agenda-tags-column' (renamed from
  1536. `org-agenda-align-tags-to-column') can now also be negative,
  1537. to mean alignment to the left. The new default is -80, just
  1538. like it is now for `org-tags-column'.

  1584. <li>
  1585. Both the category and the archive location in a (sub)tree of
  1586. the buffer can now be specified using a property, for
  1587. example:
  1588. <p>
  1589. <pre>
  1590. * Tree with special properties
  1591. :PROPERTIES:
  1592. :CATEGORY: Examples
  1593. :ARCHIVE: /some/special/file::
  1594. :END:
  1595. </pre>
  1596. </p>
  1597. <p>
  1598. This is a much cleaner way of dealing with multiple
  1599. categories and archives in a single file. The preferred use
  1600. of the <code>#+CATEGORY</code> and <code>#+ARCHIVE</code> lines is now to set a
  1601. <b>single</b> default for the file which is then locally
  1602. overruled by properties. This was a proposal from Bastien
  1603. if I remember correctly. Multiple <code>#+</code> lines still work
  1604. and I don't plan to remove this support soon, but I
  1605. encourage you to stop using them.
  1606. </p>
  1607. </li>
  1608. <li>
  1609. The clocktable has a new <code>:scope</code> parameter that determines
  1610. the range in the file from which clock entries should be
  1611. taken. This can be anything from the local subtree to the
  1612. entire buffer to even the full list of agenda files. Legal
  1613. values are:
  1614. <table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups" frame="hsides">
  1615. <col align="left"></col><col align="left"></col>
  1616. <thead>

  1619. <tbody>
  1620. <tr><td>nil</td><td>the current buffer or narrowed region</td></tr>
  1621. <tr><td>file</td><td>the full current buffer</td></tr>
  1622. <tr><td>subtree</td><td>the subtree where the clocktable is located</td></tr>
  1623. <tr><td>treeN</td><td>the surrounding level N tree, for example tree3</td></tr>
  1624. <tr><td>tree</td><td>the surrounding level 1 tree</td></tr>
  1625. <tr><td>agenda</td><td>all agenda files</td></tr>
  1626. </tbody>
  1627. </table>
  1628. <p>
  1629. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer and Bernt Hansen for
  1630. inspiration. Thanks to cranreuch (what is you full name?)
  1631. for mentioning, at the right moment, that the clocktable is
  1632. not so bad - that remark made it seem worthwhile to add
  1633. features.
  1634. </p>
  1635. </li>
  1636. <li>
  1637. The commands to import a table and to convert a region to a
  1638. table can now handle comma-separated values (CSV). The
  1639. algorithm does not yet treat quoting correctly, but for
  1640. basic input it works.
  1641. </li>
  1642. <li>
  1643. When modifying an existing time stamp, or when entering the
  1644. second stamp of a range, the date prompt will now
  1645. consistently default to the date/time in the existing stamp.
  1646. This was triggered by Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
  1647. </li>
  1648. <li>
  1649. At the date/time prompt, there is a new way to specify a
  1650. range of hours, by using "+DURATION" after the time. For
  1651. example:
  1652. <p>
  1653. <pre>
  1654. 14:00+2 means 14:00-16:00
  1655. 2pm+2:30 means 14:00-16:30
  1656. </pre>
  1657. </p>
  1658. <p>
  1659. Again, Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
  1660. </p>
  1661. </li>
  1662. <li>
  1663. When you use the function `turn-on-orgstruct++' to turn on
  1664. orgstruct-mode, the special org-mode settings for
  1665. auto-filling, indentation and paragraphs are exported into
  1666. the buffer, so that typing list items with indentation works
  1667. better. This was Bastien's idea and request.
  1668. </li>
  1669. <li>
  1670. New variable `org-priority-start-cycle-with-default'. When
  1671. t (the default), priority cycling will initially set the
  1672. default priority and then increase or decrease. When nil,
  1673. the first priority set by cycling is already 1 different
  1674. from the default priority. This was mostly driven by
  1675. Bastien.
  1676. </li>
  1677. <li>
  1678. In column view: When an entry has a property for a summary
  1679. column defined, its value is normally overwritten by the sum
  1680. of all the children's values each time you enter column
  1681. view. Now there is an exception to this rule: If none of
  1682. the children has that particular property defined, the
  1683. parent's value stays. In this way you can still place TODO
  1684. items under such an entry without getting the property value
  1685. changed. Thanks to Russel Adams for pointing out that this
  1686. is a better way of doing things.
  1687. </li>
  1688. <li>
  1689. In column view, computed values are now bold face, and
  1690. trying to edit them is an error. I think this works, but
  1691. testing is appreciated.
  1692. </li>
  1693. <li>
  1694. New command `org-occur-in-agenda-files', this is basically
  1695. the quick command John Wiegley proposed the other day, but
  1696. it also works when the agenda files are not yet in buffers.
  1697. The key is `C-c C-x /', any better proposals?
  1698. </li>
  1699. <li>
  1700. Links containing a space will now be handled correctly when
  1701. calling the browser. Note that you need to enclose such
  1702. links in square or angular brackets.

  1755. You can now select specific states for recording a note when
  1756. switching to that state. With the setting
  1757. <p>
  1758. <pre>
  1759. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) ORDERED(o@) INVOICE(i@) PAYED(p) | RECEIVED(r)
  1760. #+STARTUP: lognotestate
  1761. </pre>
  1762. </p>
  1763. <p>
  1764. only the states ORDERED and INVOICE will record a timestamp
  1765. and a note.
  1766. </p>
  1767. </li>
  1768. <li>
  1769. You can now set the format of the string for each day in the
  1770. agenda and timeline buffers. You can use a format string
  1771. interpreted by `format-time-string', or you can write your
  1772. own function. Configure the new variable
  1773. `org-agenda-format-date'. Thanks to Levin for triggering
  1774. this development with a patch.
  1775. </li>
  1776. <li>
  1777. The default for `org-remember-store-without-prompt' is now
  1778. t, in order to better match the original intent of
  1779. remember.el (storing a note with minimum interruption of
  1780. work flow). Since we can assign files and headlines to
  1781. templates, I guess this takes care of selecting a filing
  1782. location in most cases. For interactive filing, you now
  1783. need a prefix command when exiting `remember'.
  1784. </li>
  1785. <li>
  1786. `org-goto' (bound to `C-c C-j') now uses an indirect buffer
  1787. and has additional commands enabled: Org-occur with `C-c /'
  1788. or even faster with `/', and the commands needed to select
  1789. and copy a region. This make `org-goto' a more general
  1790. lookup command instead of only a jumping command. Remember
  1791. that you can exit with `Q' to go back to the original
  1792. location. Thanks to William Henney for this idea.
  1793. </li>
  1794. <li>
  1795. Setting the priority with S-up/down now cycles back to a
  1796. state where no priority is specified. This was requested by
  1797. Rick Moynihan.
  1798. </li>
  1799. <li>
  1800. You can store a remember note to the <b>last used</b> location.
  1801. So if you select a location interactively once, you can
  1802. re-use it without having to find it again. For this, exit
  1803. the remember buffer with `C-u C-u C-c C-c'. The leading
  1804. comment in the remember buffer will tell exactly where the
  1805. note goes if you exit with a particular command.
  1806. Thanks to Maxim Loginov for this idea.
  1807. </li>
  1808. <li>
  1809. On Emacs 23, the headline faces for org-mode are now
  1810. inherited from the outline faces. This is just a
  1811. convenience, so that you only have to configure one set of
  1812. faces, and that will then be outline-1 .. outline-8. You
  1813. will actually not see any difference in org-mode, because
  1814. Stefan Monnier has made the outline faces in Emacs 23 to
  1815. match the current org-mode faces.
  1816. <p>
  1817. This change does not effect XEmacs, nor Emacs 21 and 22.

  1835. There is now a separate interface for fast and directly
  1836. setting a TODO keyword. This interface kicks in when you
  1837. have configured keys for TODO keywords like
  1838. <p>
  1839. <pre>
  1840. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | DONE(d) CANCELED(c)
  1841. </pre>
  1842. </p>
  1843. <p>
  1844. C-c C-t still does the cycling thing, you need to use a
  1845. prefix argument to get to the fast interface. Or configure
  1846. the variable `org-use-fast-todo-selection' to t, then this
  1847. will be the default and the prefix argument will make the
  1848. command fall back to cycling.
  1849. </p>
  1850. <p>
  1851. The tag selection no longer does include TODO keywords -
  1852. Leo's arguments have convinced me that this is not a good
  1853. idea. If you'd like to see the TODO keywords in the tags
  1854. interface anyway, set the variable
  1855. `org-fast-tag-selection-include-todo'. Thanks to Leo and
  1856. others for input on this issue.
  1857. </p>
  1858. </li>
  1859. <li>
  1860. New variable `org-edit-timestamp-down-means-later'. When
  1861. set, `S-down' on a timestamp will change the timestamp to
  1862. later. Thanks to Raman for this idea.
  1863. </li>
  1864. <li>
  1865. Property names can now contain non-ascii word characters.
  1866. This follows a request from Daniel Clemente.
  1867. </li>
  1868. <li>
  1869. For export, the date that should be given in the exported
  1870. file can now be set to a specific value with a line like
  1871. <p>
  1872. <pre>
  1873. #+DATE: 15 November 2003
  1874. </pre>
  1875. </p>
  1876. <p>
  1877. If you want to use the date/time when the file was created,
  1878. use a format string that will be interpreted by
  1879. `format-time-string', for example:
  1880. </p>
  1881. <p>
  1882. <pre>
  1883. #+DATE: %Y/%m/%d %X
  1884. </pre>
  1885. </p>
  1886. </li>
  1887. <li>
  1888. The default of `org-deadline-warning-days' has changed to 14
  1889. days. 30 was really too much, I suspect most people (me
  1890. included) have changed this.
  1891. </li>
  1892. <li>
  1893. When a deadline has an individual lead time, this lead time
  1894. obviously overrules `org-deadline-warning-days'. However,
  1895. if you bind `org-deadline-warning-days' to a number &lt;=0, for
  1896. example during a custom agenda command, then the absolute
  1897. value of this number will be enforced also when a different
  1898. lead time has been specified. This is useful to get a list
  1899. of all deadlines coming up in the next N days.

  1945. You can now define different faces for different TODO
  1946. keywords. This request has come up frequently, so here it
  1947. is: Use the variable `org-todo-keyword-faces'.
  1948. <p>
  1949. A Here is a configuration example:
  1950. </p>
  1951. <p>
  1952. <pre>
  1953. (setq org-todo-keyword-faces
  1954. '(("TODO" . org-warning)
  1955. ("DEFERRED" . shadow)
  1956. ("CANCELED" . (:foreground "blue" :weight bold
  1957. :underline t))))
  1958. </pre>
  1959. </p>
  1960. <p>
  1961. Org-mode continue still use `org-todo' and `org-done' for
  1962. keywords that have no specific face assigned.
  1963. </p>
  1964. </li>
  1965. <li>
  1966. Some People use TODO states more like tags. For them the
  1967. TODO keywords mark special states and they like to quickly
  1968. switch between states in arbitrary sequence. The standard
  1969. TODO interface is not perfect for this, because it assumes
  1970. that the states are reached in sequence. However, the fast
  1971. tag setting interface is in fact perfect for this. You can
  1972. now "misuse" the TAG selection interface to also set TODO
  1973. states. All you need to do is to assign keys to the TODO
  1974. states, just like you also do for tags.
  1975. <p>
  1976. <pre>
  1977. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | CANCELED(c) DONE(d)
  1978. #+TAGS: @HOME(h) @OFFICE(o) @SHOP(s)
  1979. </pre>
  1980. </p>
  1981. <p>
  1982. Next time you try to set tags with C-c C-c, the todo states
  1983. will be offered as well, and the corresponding key will
  1984. switch the entry to that state.
  1985. </p>
  1986. </li>
  1987. <li>
  1988. New variable `org-archive-save-context-info' governs if
  1989. information that would be lost by moving a subtree to the
  1990. archive file, should be stored as special properties. For
  1991. example,
  1992. <p>
  1993. <pre>
  1994. (setq org-archive-save-context-info '(itags category))
  1995. </pre>
  1996. </p>
  1997. <p>
  1998. will store the inherited tags and the category in properties
  1999. ARCHIVE_ITAGS and ARCHIVE_CATEGORY, respectively. The
  2000. default setting for this variable is to save everything that
  2001. could be lost. This was a proposal by John Wiegley.
  2002. </p>
  2003. </li>
  2004. <li>
  2005. Sorting (`C-c ^') can use the use the priority to sort. Use
  2006. the "p" and "P" keys at the prompt. John Wiegley, again.
  2007. </li>
  2008. <li>
  2009. `Org-ellipsis' can now also be a face to make the folding
  2010. ellipsis more visible. This is based on a post by Tassilo
  2011. Horn. Since `org-ellipsis' only works in Org-mode, you
  2012. might want to use Tassilo Horn's hack directly in order to
  2013. affect the folding ellipsis globally.
  2014. </li>
  2015. <li>
  2016. Scheduling info is no longer removed when an entry is marked
  2017. CLOSED. This was a request by Brian van den Broek. Let me
  2018. know if this breaks anything for you - then it will become
  2019. an option.
  2020. </li>
  2021. <li>
  2022. New option `org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files'. Currently,
  2023. if a file does not exist, it will be removed from
  2024. `org-agenda-files' after a query. When this option is set,
  2025. the file will simply be skipped.

  2041. When exporting only a region and this region is a single
  2042. (sub)tree (for example selected with `C-c @'), the title for
  2043. the exported document is taken to be the heading of the
  2044. subtree. The sublevels become top-level entries in the
  2045. export. Furthermore, if the head entry of the tree has or
  2046. inherits an EXPORT_FILE_NAME property, that file name (with
  2047. appropriately substituted extension) will be used for the
  2048. exported tree. Thanks to Patrick Drechsler and Jost Burkart
  2049. for these ideas.

  2051. <li>
  2052. org-special-ctrl-a/e has a third allowed value, `reversed'.
  2053. When it is set to this value, the first C-a or C-e command
  2054. behaves normally, i.e. it goes to the true beginning or end
  2055. of the line. Only when you press C-a or C-e immediately
  2056. again, the the "special" position will be found. Additional
  2057. presses of the same key jump between the two positions. I
  2058. like this a lot better than the `t' setting, because now the
  2059. keys behave more predictable and still give easy access to
  2060. the special locations.

  2119. Bastien's `org-export-latex.el' is now part of the org-mode
  2120. distribution. You can export an Org-mode document to a
  2121. LaTeX file with `C-c C-e l'. For more options, see the
  2122. manual, and the commentary in the Lisp file. Kudos to
  2123. Bastien for contributing this frequently requested feature.
  2124. I am sure this has been tough because of the many different
  2125. ways I have been allowing LaTeX snippets and environments to
  2126. be incorporated in lazy free-format ways.
  2127. </li>
  2128. <li>
  2129. Org-mode has now an extension mechanism for the hyperlink
  2130. system. This should clear the road for all those mairix and
  2131. other ideas that have been floating around. Now it is on
  2132. <b>you</b> to write and share new link types for Org-mode. The
  2133. interface for adding a new link type is described in the
  2134. appendix of the manual, section A2. The unsolved problem is
  2135. currently how to handle the new link types for
  2136. export/publishing.
  2137. </li>
  2138. <li>
  2139. New <b>global</b> commands `org-open-at-point-global' and
  2140. `org-insert-link-global'. You can bind these commands to
  2141. global keys and use them to insert and follow Org-mode-like
  2142. links anywhere in Emacs. Thanks to Adam Spiers for this
  2143. excellent idea.

  2146. Each deadline timestamp may now specify its own interval of
  2147. lead-time display, given in days, weeks, months or years.
  2148. The syntax is like this
  2149. <p>
  2150. <pre>
  2151. DEADLINE: &lt;2007-08-13 Mon -5d&gt;
  2152. </pre>
  2153. </p>
  2154. <p>
  2155. When combined with a repeater, the repeater has to come
  2156. first:
  2157. </p>
  2158. <p>
  2159. <pre>
  2160. DEADLINE: &lt;2007-08-13 Mon +2w -5d&gt;
  2161. </pre>
  2162. </p>
  2163. <p>
  2164. You may now also customize the faces that are used in the
  2165. agenda to indicate the distance of an approaching deadline.
  2166. See the new option `org-agenda-deadline-faces'.

  2173. <li>
  2174. New option `org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all'. When
  2175. set to nil, repeating time stamps will only show up once in
  2176. the agenda, either today or in the near future. Other
  2177. matches will be ignored. Thanks to John Wiegley for this
  2178. proposal.
  2179. </li>
  2180. <li>
  2181. New variable `org-remember-store-without-prompt'. When set,
  2182. exiting the remember buffer with C-c C-c will store the note
  2183. without further prompts to the default location, and `C-u
  2184. C-c C-c' will get the prompts for file and location. So
  2185. this variable reverses the prefix-argument functionality for
  2186. storing remember notes. This follows a request from John
  2187. Wiegley.
  2188. </li>
  2189. <li>
  2190. A new function `org-agenda-to-appt' activates all
  2191. appointments for the current day so that Emacs will display
  2192. reminders. This uses appt.el. Thanks to Bastien for this
  2193. function.
  2194. </li>
  2195. <li>
  2196. You can now set default values for properties that can be
  2197. inherited by all entries in a buffer, or by all entries
  2198. globally. Global properties are set in the variable
  2199. `org-global-properties', like this:
  2200. <p>
  2201. (setq org-global-properties '(("NAME" "This is the value")))
  2202. </p>
  2203. <p>
  2204. Buffer-local values are set like this:
  2205. </p>
  2206. <p>
  2207. #+PROPERTY: NAME This is the value
  2208. </p>
  2209. <p>
  2210. When using org-entry-get to get the value of a property with
  2211. the `inherit' flag and the hierarchy above the entry does
  2212. not contain this property, the buffer-local and global lists
  2213. are checked as well. This is mostly useful (I think) to set
  2214. the list of allowed values for a property. Thanks to Bernt

  2259. The variable `org-special-ctrl-a' has been renamed to

  2268. When the variable `org-special-ctrl-a/e' is set, C-e in a

  2272. <li>
  2273. Typing and removing single characters in a headline now

  2318. is currently the only Emacs where this works. If you are

  2330. There are interactive commands to insert and delete
  2331. properties. Read the manual chapter 7 for details.
  2332. </li>
  2333. <li>
  2334. You can define <i>allowed values</i> for a property. When
  2335. these are defined, you can change the value of a property
  2336. with S-left and S-right. And you may use completion when
  2337. inserting the property. This goes a long way to prevent
  2338. typos when entering properties.
  2339. </li>
  2340. </ul></li>
  2341. <li>
  2342. Improvements for column view.
  2343. <ul>
  2344. <li>
  2345. In column view, you may use the keys S-left/right (and
  2346. also the keys `n' and `p') to switch from one allowed
  2347. value to the next.
  2348. </li>
  2349. <li>
  2350. You can define summaries for columns. For example,
  2351. parents can contain the sum of all children values of a
  2352. property, or the parent node can have a check box property
  2353. that is automatically checked when all children's boxes are
  2354. checked.
  2355. </li>
  2356. <li>
  2357. There are interactive commands to add and remove columns,
  2358. and to change the attributes of a column like the summary
  2359. type.
  2360. </li>
  2361. </ul>
  2362. <p>These additions lead to the exciting fact that the example

  2430. <h4>Orgstruct minor mode</h4>
  2431. <p>
  2432. There is a new minor mode, orgstruct-mode. This modes works
  2433. in a similar way as Orgtbl-mode. It can be used to export
  2434. the Org-mode structure-editing commands into arbitrary major
  2435. modes in Emacs. For example, you can use it in Mail-mode to
  2436. easily create lists.
  2437. </p>
  2438. <p>
  2439. The functionality in Orgstruct mode is only active, if the
  2440. cursor is in a line that looks either like a headline, or
  2441. like the first line of a plain list item. Then the commands
  2442. `TAB', `M-cursor', `M-S-cursor', `M-RET', `M-S-RET', `C-c ^',
  2443. `C-c C-c', and `C-c -' will do structure-related editing just
  2444. like in Org-mode. If the cursor is not in such a line, all
  2445. these keys will do whatever the major mode or other active
  2446. minor modes have assigned to them.
  2447. </p>
  2448. <p>
  2449. Orgstruct-mode is the result of a proposal by Raman, quite
  2450. some time ago. It has taken a long time, but here is finally
  2451. the promised implementation.

  2454. <div class="outline-4">
  2455. <h4>Drawers</h4>
  2456. <p>
  2457. The new concept of <i>drawers</i> allows to create sections
  2458. that remain folded during visibility cycling. Drawers need
  2459. to be configured using the variable `org-drawers'. A drawer
  2460. starts with a line containing only the name of the drawer
  2461. bracketed by colons. It ends with :END:. For example,
  2462. after setting
  2463. </p>
  2464. <p>
  2465. <pre>
  2466. (setq org-drawers '("PROPERTIES" "HIDDEN"))
  2467. </pre>
  2468. </p>
  2469. <p>
  2470. you can then create drawers like this:
  2471. </p>
  2472. <p>
  2473. <pre>
  2474. :HIDDEN:
  2475. here is some stuff that remains hidden
  2476. unless TAB is pressed directly in that line
  2477. :END:
  2478. </pre>
  2479. </p>
  2480. <p>
  2481. The PROPERTIES drawer has special meaning for ORG-mode, it
  2482. contains properties of an entry (see below).
  2483. </p>
  2484. </div>
  2485. <div class="outline-4">
  2486. <h4>Properties and Column View</h4>
  2487. <ul>
  2488. <li>
  2489. Entries in Org-mode can now have arbitrary <i>properties</i>
  2490. associated with them. Org-mode handles some default
  2491. properties like the TODO state, the priority, the local
  2492. tags, and planning information like DEADLINE and SCHEDULED.
  2493. In addition, you can assign arbitrary properties by creating
  2494. a property drawer and inserting a line like
  2495. <p>
  2496. <pre>
  2497. :PROPNAME: This is the value of the property
  2498. </pre>
  2499. </p>
  2500. <p>
  2501. Org-mode has an API for properties, if you want to write a
  2502. program using properties, use the functions
  2503. `org-entry-properties', `org-entry-get', `org-entry-put',
  2504. and `org-entry-delete'.
  2505. </p>
  2506. </li>
  2507. <li>
  2508. Planning information like DEADLINE can be hidden in the
  2509. properties drawer.
  2510. <p>
  2511. If the PROPERTIES drawer starts in the first line after a
  2512. headline, also the DEADLINE, SCHEDULED and CLOCK information
  2513. will be inserted inside the drawer. If no PROPERTIES drawer
  2514. is present, or if it does not start in the line right after
  2515. the headline, this information remains in the lines directly
  2516. after the headline, outside the drawer.
  2517. </p>
  2518. </li>
  2519. <li>
  2520. TAGS searches can now also query properties. For example,
  2521. the search
  2522. <p>
  2523. <pre>
  2524. LEVEL=3+BOSS+ASSIGNED="Hans"/WAITING
  2525. </pre>
  2526. </p>
  2527. <p>
  2528. will find entries that
  2529. </p><ul>
  2530. <li>
  2531. are level 3
  2532. </li>
  2533. <li>
  2534. have the tag BOSS
  2535. </li>
  2536. <li>
  2537. have an ASSIGNED property with the value "Hans"
  2538. </li>
  2539. <li>
  2540. are TODO status WAITING.
  2541. <p>
  2542. So here is an entry that will match:
  2543. </p>
  2544. <p>
  2545. <pre>
  2546. *** WAITING Clean up the factory :BOSS:
  2547. :PROPERTIES:
  2548. :ASSIGNED: Hans
  2549. :END:
  2550. </pre>
  2551. </p>
  2552. <p>
  2553. You may also use a regular expression to match against a
  2554. property value. For example, to find stuff assigned to Hans
  2555. or Sarah, use
  2556. </p>
  2557. <p>
  2558. <pre>
  2559. ASSIGNED={^\(Hans\|Sarah\)$}
  2560. </pre>
  2561. </p>
  2562. </li>
  2563. </ul></li>
  2564. <li>
  2565. Column View is a special way to look at property values in
  2566. tabular form. Column View can be used in any org-mode
  2567. file, and also in any agenda buffer. It works by placing
  2568. an overlay over each headline (or agenda line) that shows a
  2569. table of selected properties. You can look at and edit
  2570. properties from this view. Which properties are shown in
  2571. the table must be set up using the COLUMNS property. You
  2572. can set up different property columns on different levels
  2573. of an outline tree. For example:
  2574. <p>
  2575. <pre>
  2576. * People
  2577. :PROPERTIES:
  2578. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name
  2579. :END:
  2580. ** Family
  2581. :PROPERTIES:
  2582. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %3Age
  2583. :END:
  2584. *** Sam
  2585. Info about Sam, including a property list with Name and Age.
  2586. *** Sarah
  2587. Info about Sarah, including a property list with Name and Age.
  2588. ** Office
  2589. :PROPERTIES:
  2590. :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %Function %Salary
  2591. :END:
  2592. *** Boss
  2593. Info about the Boss, including a property list with Name,
  2594. Function and Salary (if only we knew....).
  2595. </pre>
  2596. </p>
  2597. <p>
  2598. Now we have defined three different sets of columns. If
  2599. you switch to column view in the <i>Family</i> section, you
  2600. will get a different table than if you do it in the
  2601. <i>Office</i> section. However, if you switch to column
  2602. view with the cursor on the <i>People</i> section, the
  2603. table will cover all entries, but contain only the
  2604. <i>Name</i>.
  2605. </p>
  2606. <p>
  2607. Column view does, for the time being, only work on Emacs.
  2608. The XEmacs implementation needs a bit of work.
  2609. </p>
  2610. </li>
  2611. <li>
  2612. Properties can be used in table formulas. To access the
  2613. value of the property :XYZ:, use $PROP_XYZ. The property
  2614. needs to be defined in the hierarchy above the table, not
  2615. necessarily in the same entry as the table. This was a
  2616. request by Eddward. File-wide constants can be defined with
  2617. #+CONSTANTS, see below.

  2650. <h4>Spreadsheet</h4>
  2651. <ul>
  2652. <li>
  2653. In the spreadsheet, the evaluation of formulas has changed.
  2654. Previously, first the column formulas would be evaluated
  2655. everywhere, and then the field formulas would kick in, and
  2656. in some cases overwrite the results of column formulas in
  2657. the appropriate fields. This had the side effect that some
  2658. formulas might always use the wrong, intermediate content of
  2659. a field that is computed both by a column and a field
  2660. formula.
  2661. <p>
  2662. From now on, column formulas will no longer temporarily
  2663. overwrite field formulas. This gives much more consistent
  2664. results. For example you can now finally have a column of
  2665. increasing numbers by setting the first field to a fixed
  2666. number, and let the rest follow from a column formula.
  2667. </p>
  2668. <p>
  2669. Here is an example
  2670. </p>
  2671. <p>

  2677. </pre>
  2678. </p>
  2679. </li>
  2680. <li>
  2681. Constants for formulas in spreadsheets are globally defined
  2682. with the variable `org-table-formula-constants'. File-local
  2683. constants can now be set with a line like:
  2684. <p>
  2685. <pre>
  2686. #+CONSTANTS: c=299792458. pi=3.14 eps=2.4e-6

  2791. <ul>
  2792. <li>
  2793. There is now a special version of `org.el' for XEmacs.
  2794. Before installation, as an XEmacs user you must rename the
  2795. file org_xemacs.el to org.el, i.e. you must overwrite org.el
  2796. with the xemacs version. For example:
  2797. <p>
  2798. <pre>
  2799. mv org_xemacs.el org.el
  2800. </pre>
  2801. </p>
  2802. <p>
  2803. This is necessary so that I can make use of some features
  2804. that would be cumbersome to support in a single file. The
  2805. XEmacs version is derived from the Emacs version with a
  2806. program, so no reason to fear that I might be dropping
  2807. XEmacs support any time soon. Sorry for the trouble.

  2812. <h3>Details</h3>
  2813. <ul>
  2814. <li>
  2815. A time stamp may now contain a range of times. So you no
  2816. longer need to use two separate stamps to indicate a time
  2817. interval on a single day. For example
  2818. <p>
  2819. <pre>
  2820. &lt;2007-06-18 Mon 17:30-18:20&gt;
  2821. </pre>
  2822. </p>
  2823. <p>
  2824. This is now fully supported, including changing the time
  2825. with S-up/down while the cursor is on the end time. Also,
  2826. da the date/time prompt, you can simply write your time like
  2827. 12:00-14:00 and the range will be inserted.
  2828. </p>
  2829. <p>
  2830. This was proposed by Leo some time ago, and recently by
  2831. Michael.
  2832. </p>
  2833. </li>
  2834. <li>
  2835. You may specify clocking times by hand (i.e. without
  2836. clocking in and out) using this syntax.
  2837. <p>
  2838. <pre>
  2839. CLOCK: =&gt; 2:00
  2840. </pre>
  2841. </p>
  2842. <p>
  2843. Thanks to Scott Jaderholm for this proposal.
  2844. </p>
  2845. </li>
  2846. <li>
  2847. TAGS may now contain language-specific word characters, as
  2848. long as they are matched by the "[:alnum:]" regexp syntax.
  2849. This is for Emacs only, the XEmacs version continues to use
  2850. the character class "a-zA-Z0-9_@" for tag names. Thanks to
  2851. David Smith for a patch to this effect (a modified version
  2852. of that patch was applied). I am considering to make the
  2853. same change for TODO keywords, but not yet. Note that files
  2854. using localization features may not work correctly in the
  2855. Emacs configuration of another user, so if you are sharing
  2856. org-mode files with other users, it might still be best to
  2857. stick to the ASCII characters.
  2858. </li>
  2859. <li>
  2860. Promotion and demotion of plain list items (commands M-left,
  2861. M-right) no longer changes the indentation by just one
  2862. space. Instead, it uses intelligence gathered from the
  2863. surrounding list structure to do the right thing. Thanks to
  2864. William Henney for starting the discussion about this.
  2865. </li>
  2866. <li>
  2867. TAB does now a better job of indenting lines.
  2868. <ul>
  2869. <li>
  2870. After tables and code segments (lines starting with ":"),
  2871. indentation goes back to what it was before (thanks to
  2872. William Henney for suggesting this behavior).
  2873. </li>
  2874. <li>
  2875. When plain lists items are involved, we had a long
  2876. discussion on emacs-orgmode where I tried to show that a
  2877. too-sophisticated implementation will still be easily
  2878. fooled. Here is what I have implemented now - lets see
  2879. if we can agree on this:
  2880. <p>
  2881. Indentation will flatten lists with the same bullet type,
  2882. but indent another bullet type further. The time when
  2883. this fails is in a nested list, when you want to get back
  2884. out to a previous level. For example
  2885. </p>
  2886. <p>
  2887. <pre>
  2888. - item 1
  2889. - item 2
  2890. + item 2a
  2891. + item 2b
  2892. - item 3
  2893. </pre>
  2894. </p>
  2895. <p>
  2896. When using TAB on every line in this list, the structure
  2897. will change to
  2898. </p>
  2899. <p>
  2900. <pre>
  2901. - item 1
  2902. - item 2
  2903. + item 2a
  2904. + item 2b
  2905. - item 3
  2906. </pre>
  2907. </p>
  2908. <p>
  2909. So you need to change the level of the last line by hand,
  2910. using promotion and demotion functions.

  2939. You can now specify column groups in tables, to the effect
  2940. that the groups will be separated by vertical lines in HTML
  2941. and ASCII output. Column groups are specified by the
  2942. characters "&lt;" and "&gt;" in a special table row. "&lt;" starts a
  2943. group, "&gt;" ends a group (in each case including the the
  2944. column where the character is specified). You may also use
  2945. "&lt;&gt;" to make a group a single column wide. For example:
  2946. <p>
  2947. <pre>
  2948. | | N | N^2 | N^3 | N^4 | sqrt(n) | sqrt[4](N) |
  2949. |---+----+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
  2950. | / | &lt;&gt; | &lt; | | &gt; | &lt; | &gt; |
  2951. | # | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
  2952. | # | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 1.4142 | 1.1892 |
  2953. | # | 3 | 9 | 27 | 81 | 1.7321 | 1.3161 |
  2954. #+TBLFM: $3=$2^2::$4=$2^3::$5=$2^4::$6=sqrt($2)::$7=sqrt(sqrt(($2))
  2955. </pre>
  2956. </p>
  2957. <p>
  2958. A table row with with nothing but "/" in the first field is
  2959. never exported, but can be used to place column group
  2960. information into the table. In this table, we create a
  2961. group for column 2, one for columns 3-5 and one for columns
  2962. 6-7. HTML export will render a vertical line between these
  2963. groups.
  2964. </p>
  2965. <p>
  2966. Because HTML does not require closing &lt;colgroup&gt; tags with
  2967. &lt;/colgroup&gt;), you can also simply start a new column
  2968. wherever you want a vertical line:
  2969. </p>
  2970. <p>
  2971. <pre>
  2972. | N | N^2 | N^3 | N^4 | sqrt(n) | sqrt[4](N0 |
  2973. |---+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
  2974. | / | &lt; | &lt; | | &lt; | |
  2975. </pre>
  2976. </p>
  2977. </li>
  2978. <li>
  2979. Vertical lines are now also omitted in ASCII export, unless
  2980. grouping explicitly requests these lines.
  2981. </li>
  2982. <li>
  2983. The default for `org-show-following-heading' is now nil,
  2984. meaning that sparse trees will be more compact. This has
  2985. become possible due to in important remark by Jason Dunsmore
  2986. who pointed out that TAB should behave differently in the
  2987. inconsistent trees produced by the sparse tree commands.
  2988. TAB does now make sure that the heading after a freshly
  2989. unfolded tree is made visible at all, removing the confusing
  2990. behavior we had before.
  2991. </li>
  2992. <li>
  2993. Several bugs fixed. In particular:
  2994. <ul>
  2995. <li>
  2996. Strings produced by agenda batch processing with
  2997. `org-batch-agenda' and `org-batch-agenda-csv' are now
  2998. properly encoded, so that you should be able to use
  2999. special characters in other languages as along as your
  3000. post-processing program handles them correctly. At least
  3001. for Emacs this should work now, but have not yet figured
  3002. out how to do this in XEmacs.

  3088. </p>
  3089. <ul>
  3090. <li>
  3091. You can use an sexp diary entry (with the syntax used by the
  3092. Emacs calendar/diary) in a time stamp, like this:
  3093. <p>
  3094. *** The nerd club meets on 2nd Thursday of every month
  3095. </p></li>
  3096. </ul>
  3097. <p><span class="timestamp">%%(diary-float t 4 2)</span><br/>
  3098. </p>
  3099. <ul>
  3100. <li>
  3101. You can put diary-style sexp entries directly into an
  3102. org-mode file, where they will be interpreted just like they
  3103. would in the diary. For example
  3104. <ul>
  3105. <li>
  3106. Birthdays and similar stuff
  3107. </li>
  3108. </ul>
  3109. <p>#+CATEGORY: Holiday
  3110. %%(org-calendar-holiday) ; special function for holiday names
  3111. #+CATEGORY: Ann
  3112. %%(diary-anniversary 14 5 1956) Artur Dent %d is years old
  3113. %%(diary-anniversary 2 10 1869) Mahatma Gandhi
  3114. </p>
  3115. <p>
  3116. These entries must start at column 0 to be evaluated.
  3117. </p>
  3118. <p>
  3119. It turns out that evaluating the entries in an org-mode file
  3120. is actually faster than in the diary itself, because using
  3121. the diary has some overhead (creating fancy diary display,
  3122. then reading and re-interpreting the entries). I have moved
  3123. all the sexp entries from my diary into an org-mode file,
  3124. put in a few categories, and then turned off
  3125. `org-agenda-include-diary'. This has led to a noticeably
  3126. faster agenda display.
  3127. </p>
  3128. </li>
  3129. <li>
  3130. New command `org-replace-region-by-html' that converts the
  3131. current region from org-mode syntax into HTML. For example,
  3132. you might write an itemized list in plain text in an HTML
  3133. buffer, and then invoke this command to convert it. Thanks
  3134. to Raman for this idea.
  3135. </li>
  3136. <li>
  3137. When inserting a link with `C-c C-l', completion will now
  3138. fill in all valid link prefixes, like http or ftp, but also
  3139. link abbreviation prefixes. This is based on an idea by
  3140. Bastien.
  3141. </li>
  3142. <li>
  3143. Highest, lowest, and default priority can be set on a
  3144. per-file basis with #+PRIORITIES: H L D
  3145. For example, to use priorities from 1 to 9, you could use
  3146. <p>
  3147. #+PRIORITIES: 1 9 9
  3148. </p>
  3149. <p>
  3150. Thanks to Dmitri Minaev for a patch to this effect.
  3151. </p>
  3152. </li>
  3153. <li>
  3154. iCalendar export now honors (i.e. skips) subtrees marked as
  3155. ARCHIVE, COMMENT, or QUOTE.
  3156. </li>
  3157. <li>
  3158. There is a new command to add or change the emphasis (like
  3159. bold or italic) of a piece of text. For lack of better
  3160. available keys the command is at `C-c C-x C-f', but you may
  3161. well want to choose a more convenient key like `C-c f' in
  3162. your private setup:
  3163. <p>
  3164. (add-hook 'org-load-hook
  3165. (lambda () (define-key org-mode-map "\C-cf" 'org-emphasize)))
  3166. </p>
  3167. <p>
  3168. The command will prompt for an emphasis type, and you may
  3169. reply either with the marker that triggers the emphasis, or
  3170. with the first letter of the corresponding HTML tag. For
  3171. example, to select italic, press either "/" or "i".
  3172. </p>
  3173. <p>
  3174. If there is an active region, the emphasis of this region
  3175. will be set or changed. If there is no region, only the
  3176. emphasis markers will be inserted and the cursor positioned
  3177. between them. Thanks to Bastien for proposing this feature.
  3178. </p>

  3209. Agenda views can be exported as plain text, as HTML, and as
  3210. Postscript(R). This can simply be done from the agenda
  3211. buffer with `C-x C-w' and then specifying a filename like

  3215. <li>
  3216. Each custom agenda view can specify a list of associated

  3218. that have associated file names and exports the views to
  3219. these files. This is great for producing paper versions of
  3220. your views, to take with you when you don't have your

  3300. <li>
  3301. Better control over blank lines between trees in collapsed
  3302. view. This has come up several times in the past and most
  3303. recently by Scott Jaderholm. There is now a new variable
  3304. `org-cycle-separator-lines' with default value 2. It says
  3305. how many empty lines there need to be after the end of a
  3306. subtree to get an empty line in collapsed view. So with the
  3307. default, if you leave only one empty line it will disappear
  3308. in collapsed view. If you leave two, one empty line will
  3309. remain so that you can use double empty lines to structure
  3310. the collapsed views of a file. I love it, so many thanks to
  3311. Scott fro bringing this up again.
  3312. <p>
  3313. One property of the new setup is that you will never get
  3314. more than one blank line in collapsed view. We could do
  3315. something special to allow <b>several</b> empty lines in
  3316. collapsed view, but I think this is counter-productive.
  3317. </p>
  3318. <p>
  3319. In Emacs 22, if you want to make full use of this, make sure
  3320. that you have not set `outline-blank-line'.
  3321. </p>
  3322. </li>
  3323. <li>
  3324. When the clock is running, Org-mode will put info about it
  3325. into the modeline. The info consists of the elapsed time
  3326. and the heading of the clocked item. This was a proposal
  3327. from Bastien who got the idea from Muse.
  3328. </li>
  3329. <li>
  3330. C-a can behave specially in headlines when you set the
  3331. variable `org-special-ctrl-a'. It will bring the cursor
  3332. first back only to the beginning of the headline <b>text</b>,
  3333. i.e. after the stars and the TODO keyword, if any. A second
  3334. C-a will then move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
  3335. If the cursor is already at the beginning of the line, C-a
  3336. will spring <b>forward</b> to the headline text. This was a
  3337. proposal from Leo, based on a request from Scott Jaderholm.
  3338. <p>
  3339. I have not turned this turned this on by default, should I?
  3340. </p>
  3341. </li>
  3342. <li>
  3343. When LaTeX fragments are processed into images, there is now
  3344. more control and (hopefully) betters defaults for colors and
  3345. scaling. Special values can be set for HTML export, so that
  3346. these values can differ from what is used for display in an
  3347. emacs buffer. The default foreground and background colors
  3348. for images embedded in emacs are now taken from the default
  3349. emacs face. Thanks to Xiao-Yong Jin for proposing these
  3350. changes.
  3351. </li>
  3352. <li>
  3353. There is now a much better mechanism to change some keys in
  3354. org-mode if these keys clash with other modes you use. Turn
  3355. this on by setting `org-replace-disputed-keys' (aliased to
  3356. `org-CUA-compatible'). The list of keys to replace is now
  3357. fully customizable, see the option `org-disputed-keys'.
  3358. Many thanks to Meciej Katafiasz for a patch implementing
  3359. this.
  3360. </li>
  3361. <li>
  3362. Stuck project descriptions have been extended. You can now
  3363. use "*" as a TODO keyword or tag to say that <b>any</b> TODO
  3364. keyword or TAG marks a project as non-stuck. You also can
  3365. give an arbitrary regular expression that, if it matches,
  3366. indicates a non-stuck project.
  3367. </li>
  3368. <li>
  3369. The code for emphasis like bold, italic etc has been
  3370. modified - I might have broken something in the process,
  3371. please let me know if you find problems.

  3373. <li>

  3403. The prefix version of `org-todo-list' works again. This
  3404. means that `C-1 C-c a t' produces the list of TODO entries
  3405. for the first TODO keyword. If you use different TODO setups

  3441. Further development concerning TODO keywords.
  3442. <ul>
  3443. <li>
  3444. You can now have several DONE states in a sequence, like
  3445. <p>
  3446. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE DELEGATED
  3447. </p>
  3448. <p>
  3449. The difference to the proposal discussed on the mailing
  3450. list (and which is also works!)
  3451. </p>
  3452. <p>
  3453. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE
  3454. #+SEQ_TODO: | CANCELED
  3455. </p>
  3456. <p>
  3457. is that in the first case, the extra DONE states will be
  3458. reached with `C-c C-t' (or with `t' from the agenda), while
  3459. in the second case you need S-&lt;right&gt; to get to the special
  3460. states. I guess both ideas can be useful - I am leaning
  3461. toward using the latter.
  3462. </p>
  3463. </li>
  3464. <li>
  3465. Setting up TODO keywords in Lisp previously used two
  3466. separate variables: `org-todo-keywords' and
  3467. `org-todo-interpretation'. The preferred way is now to use
  3468. only `org-todo-keywords', with a new structure:
  3469. <p>
  3470. (setq org-todo-keywords
  3471. '((sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE")
  3472. (sequence "BUG" "KNOWNCAUSE" "|" "FIXED" "IGNORED")
  3473. (type "Fred" "Lisa" "Peter" "|" "DONE")
  3474. (sequence "CANCELED") ; for things we decide to not do.
  3475. ))
  3476. </p>
  3477. <p>
  3478. If your setting has this new structure,
  3479. `org-todo-interpretation' will be ignored. This change
  3480. does not break backward compatibility. The old way of
  3481. using a flat list in `org-todo-keywords' and taking the
  3482. interpretation from the other variable still works.
  3483. </p>
  3484. </li>
  3485. <li>
  3486. When listing <b>specific</b> TODO entries via a sparse tree
  3487. (`C-u C-c C-v') or via the agenda (`C-c a T' or `C-u C-c a
  3488. t'), you can now specify several keywords to be selected,
  3489. like "TODO|VERIFY|WAITING". This also works for custom
  3490. agenda commands. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for pointing
  3491. out this omission.
  3492. </li>
  3493. </ul></li>
  3494. <li>
  3495. If you have configured Org-mode to export also the text
  3496. before the first headline (this is done by setting the
  3497. variable `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil),
  3498. then the first normal text line in the buffer becomes the
  3499. title of the exported document. A title set with #+TITLE
  3500. overules this default, and the first line then belongs to the
  3501. normal text. Thanks to David House for this proposal.
  3502. </li>
  3503. <li>
  3504. TTY replacement keys. Some of the key bindings used by
  3505. Org-mode do not work on a tty, so replacement key sequences
  3506. are provided on ttys. In version 4.70, there are some
  3507. changes in the tty replacements. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer
  3508. for coming up with the idea to use C-c &lt;cursor&gt; keys.

  3532. This time the changes affect the following areas:
  3533. </p>
  3534. <ul>
  3535. <li>
  3536. TODO keywords: Multiple sequences in a single file.

  3558. <h3>Incompatible changes</h3>
  3559. <ul>
  3560. <li>
  3561. It used to be possible to spread the list of TODO keywords
  3562. over several lines, like
  3563. <p>
  3564. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO
  3565. #+SEQ_TODO: PROGRESS
  3566. #+SEQ_TODO: DONE
  3567. </p>
  3568. <p>
  3569. This is no longer possible. Each such line now specifies an
  3570. independent set of TODO keywords, with its own DONE state.
  3571. See below for details.
  3572. </p>
  3573. </li>
  3574. <li>
  3575. The #+TEXT construct has been used to insert unchanged HTML
  3576. into an exported file. This is no longer possible, the TEXT
  3577. lines will be processed like any other lines. However,
  3578. there are now much better ways of getting quoted HTML into
  3579. the exported file.
  3580. </li>
  3581. </ul></div>
  3582. <div class="outline-3">
  3583. <h3>Details</h3>
  3584. <ul>
  3585. <li>
  3586. You can now use multiple sets of TODO keywords in the same
  3587. buffer. For example, you may put the following three lines
  3588. into a file:
  3589. <p>
  3590. #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE
  3591. #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED
  3592. #+TYP_TODO: Fred Laura Peter Me OK
  3593. </p>
  3594. <p>
  3595. Each sub-sequence has its own DONE state. It is best to use
  3596. different keywords in all sequences, to make sure Org-mode
  3597. does not loose track in which specific sequence it is
  3598. working. You could use the same word for all DONE states,
  3599. but then cycling through to a TODO state might not bring you
  3600. where you want to be.
  3601. </p>
  3602. <p>
  3603. After initially setting a keyword, `C-c C-t' cycles through
  3604. a sublist, i.e. is cycles from TODO to DONE or from
  3605. KNOWNCAUSE to RESOLVED and further to (nothing) and back to
  3606. REPORT.
  3607. </p>
  3608. <p>
  3609. S-right and S-left allow to select any keyword, so they move
  3610. from DONE to REPORT and from RESOLVED to Fred.
  3611. </p>
  3612. <p>
  3613. C-S-right and C-S-left jump from one sub-sequence to the
  3614. next, for example from TODO or DONE to REPORT to Fred.
  3615. </p>
  3616. <p>
  3617. Thanks to Rick Moynihan for triggering this development.
  3618. </p>
  3619. </li>
  3620. <li>
  3621. Text before the first headline can now be exported if you
  3622. configure Org-mode accordingly. Either set the variable
  3623. `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil, or use the
  3624. new in-buffer option
  3625. <p>
  3626. #+OPTION: skip:nil
  3627. </p>
  3628. </li>
  3629. <li>
  3630. Export content specified via the #+TEXT construct is now
  3631. fully processed, i.e. links, emphasis etc. are all
  3632. interpreted. #+TEXT lines may include
  3633. #+BEGIN_HTML&hellip;#+END_HTML sections to embed literal HTML.
  3634. </li>
  3635. <li>
  3636. During HTML export, you can request to have a<sub>b</sub>
  3637. interpreted as a subscript, but to leave a_b as it is. This
  3638. can be done by setting the variable
  3639. org-export-sub-superscript to the symbol `{}' with
  3640. <p>
  3641. (setq org-export-sub-superscript '{})
  3642. </p>
  3643. <p>
  3644. or by using
  3645. </p>
  3646. <p>
  3647. #+OPTIONS: ^:{}
  3648. </p>
  3649. <p>
  3650. Thanks to Eddward DeVilla for this idea.
  3651. </p>
  3652. </li>
  3653. <li>
  3654. New variable `org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
  3655. Default is nil, meaning that empty lines are part of the
  3656. previous list item, and that you can have several paragraphs
  3657. in one such item. Set this to t if you want an empty line
  3658. terminate all levels of plain list items.
  3659. <p>
  3660. Thanks to Mike Newman for triggering this development.
  3661. </p>
  3662. </li>
  3663. <li>
  3664. C-c RET does insert a horizontal separator line and move the
  3665. cursor into the table line below it. Thanks to Bastien for
  3666. this proposal.
  3667. </li>
  3668. <li>
  3669. Org-mode always offers you to record a note when a TODO item
  3670. automatically repeats, even if you are not logging state
  3671. changes. The new variable `org-log-repeat' allows to turn
  3672. this off, so that notes are really only been taken if you
  3673. are logging all state changes.

  3731. You can now also write B4 instead of @4$2 as a reference in
  3732. formulas. The column references without specified row can be
  3733. written as C&amp; instead of $3. Such references make formulas
  3734. easier to read and are now the default way how references are
  3735. shown when you edit existing formulas. To get the old behavior
  3736. back (i.e. only @row$col references), set the variable
  3737. `org-table-use-standard-references' to nil.
  3738. <p>

  3843. #+OPTIONS: H:4 toc:2
  3844. </p>

  3846. <li>
  3847. The command `C-c }' toggles the display of row and column numbers
  3848. the the current table, to aid constructing formulas. To try it,
  3849. move the cursor to a table and press `C-c }', or use the menu
  3850. entry.
  3851. </li>
  3852. <li>
  3853. Orgtbl translation functions (introduced in 4.65) have been
  3854. simplified using a generic function `orgtbl-to-generic' that can
  3855. be used for very general languanges. Writing your own translator
  3856. should be very easy now. More info in the manual.

  3887. <h3>Detailed description of changes</h3>
  3888. <ul>
  3889. <li>
  3890. You can use orgtbl mode to maintain a LaTeX table, or pretty much
  3891. any table in any mode.
  3892. <p>
  3893. This does <b>not</b> work by making Orgtbl aware of LaTeX syntax. That
  3894. would be a box of Pandora I am not willing to open. Instead, you
  3895. use a normal Orgtbl-mode table, and a converter program to
  3896. automatically place a LaTeX version of the table into the correct
  3897. spot in the LaTeX file. The orgtbl-mode table can be maintained
  3898. inside the same file, in a block comment.
  3899. </p>
  3900. <p>
  3901. I am providing translators for LaTeX, HTML, and TeXInfo. For
  3902. other applications, you need to write one yourself - but that is
  3903. not hard if you start from the LaTeX version and just modify it.
  3904. Thanks to Thomas Baumann for triggering this development through
  3905. a request for a table-to-LaTeX converter.
  3906. </p>
  3907. </li>
  3908. <li>
  3909. In the special buffer to edit the formulas of a table (created
  3910. with "C-c '"), there is now better support for editing Lisp
  3911. formulas. TAB and M-TAB work like in an Emacs Lisp buffer,
  3912. indenting lines and completing lisp symbols. With the cursor on
  3913. a line defining a complex Lisp formula, a first press on TAB will
  3914. convert the formula into a pretty-printed version with proper
  3915. linebreaks and indentation. A second TAB folds the line back to
  3916. the compact form.
  3917. </li>
  3918. <li>
  3919. Tables in HTML export have now additional structure elements
  3920. defined. The header (before the first hline) is wrapped into
  3921. &lt;thead&gt;..&lt;/thead&gt;, and each part of the body (as separated in
  3922. org-mode by hlines) is wrapped into &lt;tbody&gt;..&lt;/tbody&gt; tags. I
  3923. have also changed the CSS style for &lt;td&gt; fields and the value of
  3924. `org-export-html-table-tag' to get cleaner tables. Basically,
  3925. tables now have horizontal lines only where needed, and no
  3926. vertical lines at all, as generally recommended for tables in
  3927. printed text. I like the new look, but I am not sure if this
  3928. change will find general approval, please throw in your view if
  3929. you like. Thanks to Scott for driving this, and to goud-H for
  3930. pointing me to the row grouping in tables.
  3931. </li>
  3932. <li>
  3933. In a table with calculation markers in the first column, you can
  3934. now also put "/" into the first column. It indicates that this
  3935. line should not be exported. The foremost application for this
  3936. are lines containing only "&lt;N&gt;" markers for narrowing columns.

  3963. <ul>
  3964. <li>
  3965. The descriptive part of links to email messages can be configured
  3966. using the variable `org-email-link-description-format'. The new
  3967. default is "Email %c: %.30s" and leads to
  3968. <p>
  3969. Email from NAME: SUBJECT
  3970. </p>
  3971. <p>
  3972. If you configure the variable `org-from-is-user-regexp'
  3973. correctly, then for email you <b>sent</b> this will actually change to
  3974. </p>
  3975. <p>
  3976. Email to NAME: SUBJECT
  3977. </p>
  3978. <p>
  3979. The subject is limited to 30 characters. If you have become
  3980. attached to the previous default (look twice, the new one is
  3981. better), use "%f on: %s" as your format.
  3982. </p>
  3983. </li>
  3984. <li>
  3985. Selecting text before entering a new link with C-c C-l now really
  3986. works, the selected text becomes the description part of the
  3987. link. Requested by Scott, buggy 4.62 implementation is now fixed.
  3988. </li>
  3989. <li>
  3990. Stored links are part of the history list for C-c C-l, so to
  3991. reach them, you can use up/down rather than completion. Thanks
  3992. to Raman for this excellent idea.
  3993. </li>
  3994. <li>
  3995. A line consisting only of "-", and at least 5 of them, is
  3996. exported into HTML as &lt;hr/&gt;, as proposed by Giovanni Ridolfi.
  3997. </li>
  3998. <li>
  3999. Several changes to org &lt;-&gt; remember integration
  4000. <ul>
  4001. <li>
  4002. You can use `org-remember' as your default command to start
  4003. remember. It will automatically detect if there is an active
  4004. region and use it as initial content (we will probably make
  4005. remember.el work like this as well).
  4006. Also, when calling `org-remember' in a remember buffer that
  4007. was created with a template, you will again be asked to
  4008. select a template. The buffer is then re-created with the
  4009. new template, but the old context information. This is
  4010. useful if you change your mind about the template to use
  4011. (Leo's idea).
  4012. </li>
  4013. <li>
  4014. Besides specifying a default <b>target</b> file for a note, you
  4015. can also give a default <b>heading</b> of which the note should
  4016. become a subitem. In many cases this avoids or speeds up
  4017. navigating to the right location. Both file and heading can
  4018. be different for each template. Both are non-binding, you
  4019. can change them while storing the note. However, when you
  4020. exit remember with C-u C-c C-c, these defaults will be used
  4021. without interaction.
  4022. </li>
  4023. <li>
  4024. Templates can specify interactive fields. During expansion
  4025. of the template, you will be prompted for the information in
  4026. that field. For example %^t will pop up a calendar and ask
  4027. you to select a date. This new feature follows a proposal
  4028. from Leo, who in the mean time has said he does not need it
  4029. anymore. But I liked it, so here it is :-)
  4030. </li>
  4031. <li>
  4032. Templates can access information specific to the link type
  4033. created, for example the author and subject of an email.
  4034. Syntax is %:fromname, %:fromaddress, %:subject etc, details
  4035. in the manual. Proposed by Peder O. Klingenberg.
  4036. </li>
  4037. <li>
  4038. I have been considering to move, at some stage, the template
  4039. functionality into remember.el itself - which would of course
  4040. require consent of the remember.el maintainers. I am not
  4041. sure how well this would work though, since some things like
  4042. the interactive time stamps are org.el specific, so treating
  4043. them would require special hooks. Comments?
