  7. * Version 8.4
  8. ** New functions
  9. ~org-show-children~ is a faster implementation of
  10. ~outline-show-children~.
  11. * Version 8.3
  12. ** Incompatible changes
  13. *** Properties drawers syntax changes
  14. Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
  15. headline and its planning line, when applicable.
  16. It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
  17. logged before the property drawer.
  18. The following function will repair them:
  19. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  20. (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
  21. "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
  22. Ignore non Org buffers."
  23. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  24. (org-with-wide-buffer
  25. (goto-char (point-min))
  26. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  27. (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
  28. (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
  29. "END[ \t]*$"))))
  30. (org-map-entries
  31. (lambda ()
  32. (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
  33. (save-excursion
  34. (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
  35. (forward-line)
  36. (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
  37. (when (and (< (point) end)
  38. (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
  39. (save-excursion
  40. (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)

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

  1161. ** New package and Babel language
  1162. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  1163. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  1164. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  1165. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  1166. ** Incompatible changes
  1167. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  1168. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  1169. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  1170. instead.
  1171. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  1172. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  1173. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  1174. ** New features and user-visible changes
  1175. *** Org Element
  1176. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  1177. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  1178. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  1179. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  1180. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  1181. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  1182. See the docstrings for more details.
  1183. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  1184. on =org-element.el=.
  1185. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  1186. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  1187. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  1188. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  1189. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  1190. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  1191. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  1192. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  1193. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  1194. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  1195. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  1196. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  1197. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  1198. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  1199. elements.
  1200. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  1201. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  1202. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  1203. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  1204. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  1205. item. Etc.
  1206. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  1207. the whole list.
  1208. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  1209. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  1210. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  1211. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  1212. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  1213. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  1214. the same level.
  1215. *** Org Agenda
  1216. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  1217. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  1218. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  1219. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  1220. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  1221. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  1222. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  1223. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  1224. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  1225. generating new ones.
  1226. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  1227. agenda buffer.
  1228. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  1229. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1230. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  1231. to this value
  1232. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1233. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  1234. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  1235. #+END_SRC
  1236. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  1237. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  1238. details on how to use this.
  1239. **** Changes in bulk actions
  1240. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  1241. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  1242. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  1243. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  1244. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  1245. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  1246. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  1247. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  1248. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  1249. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  1250. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  1251. =t=.
  1252. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  1253. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  1254. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  1255. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  1256. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  1257. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  1258. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  1259. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  1260. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  1261. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  1262. =f= or =w=).
  1263. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  1264. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  1265. of deadline.
  1266. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  1267. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  1268. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  1269. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  1270. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  1271. several times.
  1272. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  1273. See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  1274. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  1275. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  1276. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  1277. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  1278. filters and category filters.
  1279. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  1280. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  1281. configuration.
  1282. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  1283. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  1284. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  1285. point.
  1286. *** Org Links
  1287. **** Inserting links
  1288. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  1289. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  1290. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  1291. want to insert.
  1292. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  1293. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  1294. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  1295. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  1296. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  1297. highlighted.
  1298. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  1299. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  1300. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  1301. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  1302. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  1303. **** New link type =help=
  1304. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  1305. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  1306. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  1307. you go back to the same buffer.
  1308. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  1309. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  1310. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  1311. =org-stored-links=.
  1312. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  1313. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  1314. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  1315. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  1316. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  1317. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  1318. *** Org Editing
  1319. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  1320. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  1321. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  1322. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  1323. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  1324. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  1325. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  1326. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  1327. all headlines in the region.
  1328. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  1329. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  1330. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  1331. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  1332. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  1333. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  1334. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  1335. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  1336. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  1337. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  1338. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  1339. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  1340. undo RET=.
  1341. *** Org Clock
  1342. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  1343. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  1344. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  1345. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  1346. clocked entry, if any.
  1347. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  1348. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  1349. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  1350. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  1351. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  1352. out.
  1353. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  1354. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  1355. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  1356. arguments).
  1357. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  1358. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  1359. in.
  1360. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  1361. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  1362. cells in clockreport.
  1363. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  1364. time cells in clockreport.
  1365. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  1366. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  1367. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1368. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  1369. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1370. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  1371. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  1372. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  1373. space in the frame title.
  1374. *** Org Appearance
  1375. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  1376. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  1377. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  1378. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  1379. don't want to see temporarily.
  1380. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  1381. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  1382. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  1383. There are these new entities:
  1384. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  1385. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  1386. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  1387. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  1388. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  1389. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  1390. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  1391. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  1392. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  1393. The face is back to a normal height.
  1394. *** Org Columns
  1395. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  1396. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  1397. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  1398. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  1399. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  1400. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  1401. block will use its value as the column format.
  1402. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  1403. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  1404. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  1405. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  1406. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  1407. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  1408. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  1409. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  1410. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  1411. You can now use
  1412. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  1413. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  1414. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  1415. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  1416. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  1417. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  1418. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  1419. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  1420. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  1421. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  1422. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  1423. *** Org Capture
  1424. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  1425. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  1426. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  1427. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  1428. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  1429. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  1430. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1431. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  1432. set to this value
  1433. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1434. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  1435. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  1436. #+END_SRC
  1437. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  1438. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  1439. more details on how to use this.
  1440. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  1441. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  1442. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  1443. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  1444. =nil=.
  1445. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  1446. See the manual for more explanations.
  1447. **** More control over empty lines
  1448. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  1449. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  1450. explanations.
  1451. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  1452. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  1453. *** Org Export
  1454. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  1455. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  1456. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  1457. available) to print beautiful tables.
  1458. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  1459. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  1460. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  1461. the table.
  1462. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  1463. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  1464. in the #+DATE option.
  1465. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  1466. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  1467. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  1468. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  1469. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  1470. More languages are always welcome.
  1471. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  1472. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  1473. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  1474. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  1475. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  1476. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  1477. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  1478. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  1479. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  1480. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  1481. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  1482. *** Org Babel
  1483. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  1484. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  1485. supported.
  1486. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  1487. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  1488. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  1489. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  1490. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  1491. It used to exports the results of the code.
  1492. *** Miscellaneous
  1493. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  1494. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  1495. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  1496. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  1497. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  1498. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  1499. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  1500. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  1501. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  1502. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  1503. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  1504. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  1505. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  1506. alarm.
  1507. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  1508. This will increment the effort value.
  1509. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  1510. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  1511. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  1512. attach symbolic links.
  1513. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  1514. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  1515. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  1516. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  1517. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  1518. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  1519. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  1520. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  1521. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  1522. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  1523. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  1524. all top level list items.
  1525. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  1526. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  1527. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  1528. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  1529. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  1530. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  1531. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  1532. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  1533. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  1534. first headline in the region.
  1535. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  1536. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  1537. agenda.
  1538. ** Important bug fixes
  1539. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  1540. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  1541. perform completion with meaningful values.
  1542. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  1543. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  1544. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  1545. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  1546. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  1547. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  1548. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  1549. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  1550. license.
  1551. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  1552. the code and the license to your needs.
  1553. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  1554. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  1555. * Version 7.8.11
  1556. ** Incompatible changes
  1557. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  1558. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  1559. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  1560. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  1561. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  1562. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  1563. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  1564. last-minute save.
  1565. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  1566. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  1567. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  1568. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  1569. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  1570. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  1571. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  1572. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  1573. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  1574. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  1575. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  1576. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  1577. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  1578. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  1579. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  1580. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  1581. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  1582. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  1583. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  1584. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  1585. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  1586. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  1587. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  1588. #+end_src
  1589. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  1590. setup./
  1591. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  1592. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  1593. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  1594. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  1595. The two new variables are:
  1596. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  1597. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  1598. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  1599. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  1600. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  1601. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  1602. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  1603. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  1604. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  1605. classes.
  1606. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  1607. document are:
  1608. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  1609. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  1610. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  1611. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  1612. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  1613. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  1614. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  1615. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  1616. #+begin_example
  1617. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  1618. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  1619. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  1620. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  1621. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  1622. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  1623. #+end_example
  1624. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  1625. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  1626. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  1627. applies to the following packages:
  1628. - inputenc
  1629. - fontenc
  1630. - fixltx2e
  1631. - graphicx
  1632. - longtable
  1633. - float
  1634. - wrapfig
  1635. - soul
  1636. - t1enc
  1637. - textcomp
  1638. - marvosym
  1639. - wasysym
  1640. - latexsym
  1641. - amssymb
  1642. - hyperref
  1643. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  1644. you are using, you can remove it from
  1645. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  1646. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  1647. properly.
  1648. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  1649. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  1650. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  1651. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  1652. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  1653. the header.
  1654. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  1655. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  1656. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  1657. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  1658. code using it.
  1659. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  1660. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  1661. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  1662. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  1663. ** Important new features
  1664. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  1665. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  1666. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  1667. for more information on how to customize it.
  1668. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  1669. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  1670. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  1671. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  1672. section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  1673. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  1674. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  1675. [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  1676. To switch over to the new system:
  1677. 1. Run
  1678. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  1679. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  1680. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  1681. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  1682. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  1683. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  1684. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  1685. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  1686. customization.
  1687. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  1688. with org-remember:
  1689. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  1690. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  1691. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  1692. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  1693. with using both system in parallel.
  1694. ** New libraries
  1695. *** New Org libraries
  1696. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  1697. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  1698. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  1699. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  1700. To use, put the following in your init file:
  1701. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1702. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  1703. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1704. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  1705. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  1706. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  1707. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  1708. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  1709. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  1710. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  1711. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  1712. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  1713. anything.
  1714. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  1715. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  1716. He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  1717. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  1718. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  1719. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  1720. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  1721. /org-ctags.el/.
  1722. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  1723. call function to do something special with text links.
  1724. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  1725. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  1726. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  1727. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  1728. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  1729. Org-mode manual:
  1730. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  1731. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  1732. *** New Babel libraries
  1733. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  1734. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  1735. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  1736. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  1737. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  1738. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  1739. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  1740. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  1741. *** Hyperlinks
  1742. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  1743. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  1744. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  1745. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  1746. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  1747. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  1748. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  1749. The key new functions are
  1750. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  1751. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  1752. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  1753. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  1754. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  1755. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  1756. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  1757. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  1758. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  1759. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  1760. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  1761. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  1762. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  1763. **** Modified link escaping
  1764. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  1765. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  1766. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  1767. : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
  1768. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  1769. : link).
  1770. :
  1771. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  1772. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  1773. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  1774. : percent escaped links are solved.
  1775. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  1776. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  1777. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  1778. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  1779. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  1780. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  1781. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  1782. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  1783. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  1784. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  1785. string to be executed.
  1786. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  1787. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  1788. to org-file-apps:
  1789. #+begin_example
  1790. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  1791. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  1792. #+end_example
  1793. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  1794. *** Dates and time
  1795. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  1796. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  1797. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  1798. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  1799. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  1800. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  1801. will work on the current entry.
  1802. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  1803. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  1804. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  1805. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  1806. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  1807. #+begin_example
  1808. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  1809. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  1810. #+end_example
  1811. *** Agenda
  1812. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  1813. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  1814. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  1815. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  1816. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  1817. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  1818. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  1819. entries using a function.
  1820. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  1821. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  1822. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  1823. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  1824. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  1825. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  1826. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  1827. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  1828. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  1829. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  1830. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  1831. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  1832. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  1833. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  1834. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  1835. *** Exporting
  1836. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  1837. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  1838. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  1839. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  1840. docstring of these variable for details about available
  1841. %-sequences.
  1842. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  1843. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  1844. formatting string will insert a string.
  1845. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  1846. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  1847. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  1848. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  1849. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  1850. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  1851. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  1852. C-e u=, respectively.
  1853. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  1854. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  1855. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  1856. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  1857. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  1858. your preference.
  1859. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  1860. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  1861. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  1862. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  1863. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  1864. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  1865. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  1866. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  1867. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  1868. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  1869. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  1870. section]] in the manual for more details.
  1871. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  1872. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  1873. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  1874. individual could.
  1875. *** Refiling
  1876. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  1877. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  1878. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  1879. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  1880. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  1881. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  1882. **** New logging support for refiling
  1883. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  1884. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  1885. =org-log-refile=.
  1886. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  1887. *** Completion
  1888. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  1889. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  1890. *** Tables
  1891. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  1892. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  1893. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  1894. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  1895. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  1896. the displayed in the buffer.
  1897. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  1898. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  1899. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  1900. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  1901. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  1902. |--------+--------+---------|
  1903. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  1904. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  1905. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  1906. optional.
  1907. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  1908. feedback on this.
  1909. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  1910. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  1911. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  1912. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  1913. : things like
  1914. :
  1915. : @3=
  1916. : @2$2..@5$7=
  1917. : @I$2..@II$4=
  1918. :
  1919. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  1920. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  1921. : table.
  1922. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  1923. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  1924. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  1925. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  1926. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  1927. *** Lists
  1928. **** Improved handling of lists
  1929. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  1930. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  1931. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  1932. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  1933. indented than it.
  1934. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  1935. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  1936. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  1937. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  1938. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  1939. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  1940. `org-list-export-context'.
  1941. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  1942. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  1943. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  1944. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  1945. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  1946. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  1947. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  1948. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  1949. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  1950. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  1951. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  1952. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  1953. *** Inline display of linked images
  1954. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  1955. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  1956. that have no description part will be inlined.
  1957. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  1958. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  1959. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  1960. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  1961. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  1962. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  1963. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  1964. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  1965. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  1966. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  1967. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  1968. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  1969. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  1970. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  1971. tangling
  1972. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  1973. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  1974. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  1975. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  1976. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  1977. properties or in tables.
  1978. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  1979. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  1980. names, and rownames across all languages.
  1981. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  1982. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  1983. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  1984. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  1985. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  1986. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  1987. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  1988. request by Scott Otterson.
  1989. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  1990. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  1991. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  1992. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  1993. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  1994. superscripts, see the variable
  1995. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  1996. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  1997. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  1998. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  1999. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  2000. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  2001. following new faces:
  2002. =org-document-title=
  2003. =org-document-info=
  2004. =org-document-info-keyword=
  2005. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  2006. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  2007. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  2008. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  2009. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  2010. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  2011. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  2012. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  2013. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  2014. property is affected by this setting.
  2015. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  2016. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  2017. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  2018. Requested by Michael Brand.
  2019. **** Better level cycling function
  2020. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  2021. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  2022. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  2023. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  2024. **** Adaptive filling
  2025. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  2026. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  2027. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  2028. comments to be filled correctly.
  2029. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  2030. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  2031. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  2032. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  2033. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  2034. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  2035. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  2036. *** Clocking
  2037. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  2038. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  2039. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  2040. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  2041. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  2042. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  2043. **** Localized clock tables
  2044. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  2045. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  2046. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  2047. available translated strings.
  2048. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  2049. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  2050. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  2051. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  2052. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  2053. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  2054. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  2055. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  2056. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  2057. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  2058. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  2059. =nil=.
  2060. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  2061. *** Misc
  2062. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  2063. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  2064. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  2065. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  2066. **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  2067. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  2068. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  2069. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  2070. property) back.
  2071. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  2072. change.
  2073. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  2074. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  2075. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  2076. #+begin_example
  2077. org-table-get
  2078. org-table-put
  2079. org-table-current-line
  2080. org-table-goto-line
  2081. #+end_example
  2082. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  2083. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  2084. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  2085. node.
  2086. This was requested by Tom.
  2087. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  2088. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  2089. example by viewing from the agenda.
  2090. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
