  7. * Version 8.3
  8. ** Incompatible changes
  9. *** Properties drawers syntax changes
  10. Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
  11. headline and its planning line, when applicable.
  12. It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
  13. logged before the property drawer.
  14. The following function will repair them:
  15. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  16. (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
  17. "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
  18. Ignore non Org buffers."
  19. (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
  20. (org-with-wide-buffer
  21. (goto-char (point-min))
  22. (let ((case-fold-search t)
  23. (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
  24. (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
  25. "END[ \t]*$"))))
  26. (org-map-entries
  27. (lambda ()
  28. (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
  29. (save-excursion
  30. (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
  31. (forward-line)
  32. (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
  33. (when (and (< (point) end)
  34. (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
  35. (save-excursion
  36. (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
  37. (eq (org-element-type
  38. (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
  39. 'drawer))))
  40. (insert (delete-and-extract-region
  41. (match-beginning 0)
  42. (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
  43. (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
  44. #+END_SRC
  45. *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
  46. If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
  47. exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
  48. is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
  49. into account when exporting.
  50. If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
  51. for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
  52. *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
  53. It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
  54. the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
  55. 5.14 (2008).
  56. =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
  57. properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
  58. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  59. ,* Headline
  60. :PROPERTIES:
  61. :CATEGORY: some category
  62. :END:
  63. #+END_SRC
  64. *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
  65. ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
  66. and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
  67. controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
  68. see.
  69. *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
  70. ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
  71. version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
  72. Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
  73. ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
  74. *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
  75. Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
  76. buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
  77. *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
  78. The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
  79. ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~ respectively,
  80. rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these functions. The Org
  81. version of these functions skips over inline tasks (and even-level
  82. headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
  83. *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
  84. ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
  85. =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
  86. *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
  87. If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
  88. org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
  89. org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
  90. *** Functions signature changes
  91. The following functions require an additional argument. See their
  92. docstring for more information.
  93. - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
  94. - ~org-html-format-headline-function~

  98. - ~org-link-search~
  99. ** New features
  100. *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
  101. If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
  102. without changing the headline.
  103. *** Hierarchies of tags
  104. The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
  105. This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
  106. in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
  107. The following in-buffer definition:
  108. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  109. ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
  110. ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
  111. ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
  112. #+END_SRC
  113. Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
  114. - Group
  115. - SubOne
  116. - SubOne1
  117. - SubOne2
  118. - SubTwo
  119. - SubTwo1
  120. - SubTwo2
  121. Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
  122. on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
  123. There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
  124. *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
  125. Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
  126. don't have to be distinct on a heading.
  127. Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
  128. already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
  129. non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: {
  130. } can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the
  131. given tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
  132. [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
  133. #+BEGIN_SRC org
  134. ,* Test :sub1:sub2:
  135. #+END_SRC
  136. This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
  137. grouptags; { }.
  138. *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
  139. Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
  140. "sub-tags".
  141. The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
  142. Example use:
  143. : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
  144. Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
  145. regular expression matches for P@.+. Good for example if tags for a
  146. certain project is tagged with a common project-identifier,
  147. i.e. P@2014_OrgTags.
  148. *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
  149. Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filter all of the related tags.
  150. Exception if filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
  151. Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
  152. levels anymore.
  153. If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
  154. is also used as a filter.
  155. *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
  156. Now uses the argument arg and optional argument exclude instead of
  157. strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
  158. makes more sense than strip now. The term narrowing is changed to
  159. exclude.
  160. The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
  161. filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
  162. *** Babel: support for sed scripts
  163. Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
  164. *** Babel: support for Processing language
  165. New ob-processing.el library.
  166. This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
  167. of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
  168. external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
  169. Check the documentation for more.
  170. Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
  171. *** New behaviour for `org-toggle-latex-fragment'
  172. The new behaviour is the following:
  173. - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument
  174. when point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the
  175. whole buffer;
  176. - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
  177. subtree;
  178. - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
  179. - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
  180. *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  181. The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
  182. instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
  183. *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
  184. Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
  185. possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
  186. more information.
  187. *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
  188. One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
  189. which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
  190. ~org-drawers~ variable.
  191. *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
  192. Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
  193. mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
  194. "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
  195. configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
  196. *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
  197. If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
  198. argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
  199. representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
  200. default is =hline=.
  201. *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
  202. For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
  203. in a source block.
  204. *** New option in ASCII export
  205. Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
  206. ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
  207. *** New blocks in ASCII export
  208. ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
  209. =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
  210. *** More back-end specific publishing options
  211. The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
  212. increased. See manual for details.
  213. *** Export inline source blocks
  214. Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
  215. now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
  216. in the output, depending on the parameters.
  217. *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
  218. These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
  219. *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
  220. *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
  221. *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
  222. This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
  223. more features. See docstring for details.
  224. *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
  225. *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
  226. Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
  227. document, befor wrapping it within the template.
  228. *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
  229. : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
  230. : #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  231. : This sentence is false.
  232. : #+END_EXAMPLE
  233. will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
  234. *** Various improvements on radio tables
  235. Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
  236. ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
  237. parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
  238. new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
  239. ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
  240. docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
  241. *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
  242. It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
  243. source blocks exported by the minted package.
  244. *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
  245. Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
  246. would throw an error. A new variable
  247. ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
  248. behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
  249. with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
  250. *** ASCII plot
  251. Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
  252. for details.
  253. *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
  254. This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
  255. on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
  256. *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
  257. When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
  258. *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
  259. This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
  260. now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
  261. special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
  262. *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
  263. See docstring for more information.
  264. *** Export unnumbered headlines
  265. Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
  266. exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
  267. property is inherited by children.
  268. *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
  269. It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
  270. through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
  271. keys, to sort a table.
  272. *** Table of contents can be local to a section
  273. The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See
  274. manual for details.
  275. *** Countdown timers can now be paused
  276. ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
  277. countdown timers.
  278. *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
  279. When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
  280. displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
  281. *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
  282. It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
  283. ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
  284. *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
  285. It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
  286. ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
  287. manual for details.
  288. *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
  289. It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
  290. title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
  291. *** New entities family: "\_ "
  292. "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
  293. back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
  294. leading spaces within table cells.
  295. *** New MathJax configuration options
  296. Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
  297. of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
  298. *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
  299. When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
  300. `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
  301. `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
  302. However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
  303. =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
  304. value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
  305. keywords and properties.
  306. *** Viewport support in html export
  307. Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
  308. when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
  309. *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
  310. Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
  311. for details.
  312. *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
  313. Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
  314. allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in
  315. a dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
  316. *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
  317. Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
  318. added to headline text.
  319. *** Support for images in Texinfo export
  320. ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See manual for details.
  321. *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
  322. Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
  323. of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
  324. =#+TOC= keyword.
  325. *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
  326. In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
  327. set using the hh:mm:ss format.
  328. *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
  329. ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for
  330. the number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original
  331. subtree and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
  332. *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
  333. It encompasses all past closed clocks.
  334. *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
  335. See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
  336. ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
  337. *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
  338. *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
  339. ** Removed functions
  340. *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
  341. Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
  342. *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
  343. This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
  344. current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
  345. it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
  346. accessible from the export dispatcher.
  347. *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
  348. ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
  349. *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
  350. This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
  351. references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
  352. *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
  353. The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
  354. optional argument.
  355. *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
  356. These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
  357. anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
  358. ** Removed options
  359. *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
  360. It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
  361. compatibility.
  362. If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
  363. two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
  364. *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
  365. Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
  366. body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
  367. document instead.
  368. *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
  369. Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
  370. everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
  371. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
  372. This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
  373. at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
  374. value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
  375. To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
  376. this variable locally.
  377. *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
  378. This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
  379. styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
  380. be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
  381. compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
  382. anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
  383. *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
  384. Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
  385. would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
  386. removed.
  387. *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
  388. Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
  389. *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
  390. This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
  391. *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
  392. This variable has no effect since August 2009.
  393. *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
  394. MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
  395. end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
  396. ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
  397. ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
  398. *** Removed comment-related filters
  399. ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
  400. ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
  401. anymore.
  402. ** Miscellaneous
  403. *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
  404. ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
  405. *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
  406. Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
  407. =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
  408. *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
  409. As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
  410. footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
  411. labels colliding.
  412. *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
  413. This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
  414. =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
  415. *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
  416. =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
  417. *** Select tests to perform with the build system
  418. The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
  419. regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
  420. This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
  421. particular test failure was introduced.
  422. *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
  423. Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
  424. the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as
  425. well as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~
  426. when ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
  427. *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
  428. New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
  429. Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
  430. *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
  431. If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
  432. ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~
  433. now.
  434. *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
  435. This helps spotting wrong links.
  436. * Version 8.2
  437. ** Incompatible changes
  438. *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
  439. This may require two changes in user config.
  440. 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
  441. 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
  442. to remove "sh" and include "shell".
  443. *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
  444. Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
  445. 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
  446. need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
  447. Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
  448. =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
  449. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
  450. with this:
  451. : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
  452. *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
  453. Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
  454. t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
  455. option keywords like :html-include-style.
  456. So you need to replace
  457. : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
  458. by
  459. : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
  460. Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
  461. and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
  462. *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
  463. ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
  464. process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
  465. relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
  466. Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
  467. the other optional arguments accordingly.
  468. *** Export back-ends are now structures
  469. Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
  470. communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
  471. now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
  472. of a symbol.
  473. Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
  474. ** Important bugfixes
  475. *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
  476. *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
  477. *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
  478. You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
  479. this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
  480. separator starting a TOTO match string.
  481. ** New features
  482. *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
  483. See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
  484. of the list.
  485. *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
  486. - Support SVG images
  487. - Support for .pgf files
  488. - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
  489. - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
  490. - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
  491. replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
  492. or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
  493. - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
  494. now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
  495. *** New functions for paragraph motion
  496. The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
  497. that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
  498. in a paragraph-like way.
  499. *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  500. Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
  501. dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
  502. leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
  503. preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
  504. check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
  505. *** Anonymous export back-ends
  506. ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
  507. which can then be passed to export functions like
  508. ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
  509. It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
  510. registering a new back-end.
  511. *** New agenda fortnight view
  512. The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
  513. views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
  514. ** New options
  515. *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
  516. This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
  517. *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
  518. This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
  519. See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
  520. *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
  521. This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
  522. the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
  523. Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
  524. allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
  525. library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
  526. so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
  527. t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
  528. of =ox-rss.el=.
  529. *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
  530. This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
  531. *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
  532. This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
  533. *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
  534. See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
  535. *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
  536. If you set this to the following
  537. : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
  538. then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
  539. *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
  540. This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
  541. =C-o= in tables.
  542. ** New contributed packages
  543. - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
  544. export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
  545. software.
  546. - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
  547. screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
  548. ** Miscellaneous
  549. *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
  550. "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
  551. starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
  552. a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
  553. the same with example blocks.
  554. This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
  555. release.
  556. * Version 8.0.1
  557. ** Installation
  558. Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
  559. If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
  560. instructions:
  561. - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
  562. =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
  563. customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
  564. - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
  565. correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
  566. only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
  567. the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
  568. detailed explanations.
  569. - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
  570. you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
  571. function has been called already.
  572. When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
  573. installation.
  574. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
  575. ** Incompatible changes
  576. Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
  577. If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
  578. If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
  579. you will have to update them.
  580. Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
  581. See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
  582. this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
  583. **** New export engine
  584. Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
  585. export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
  586. already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
  587. /all/ export back-ends.
  588. The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
  589. keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
  590. built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
  591. directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
  592. [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
  593. More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
  594. corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
  595. If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
  596. rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
  597. option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
  598. manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
  599. **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
  600. : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
  601. should now be written
  602. : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
  603. Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
  604. respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
  605. each backend. See Org's manual for details.
  606. **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
  607. You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
  608. Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
  609. now fully removed.
  610. Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
  611. remember templates into capture templates.
  612. **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
  613. If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
  614. will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
  615. **** Note for third-party developers
  616. The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
  617. prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
  618. files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
  619. If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
  620. code.
  621. **** Packages moved from core to contrib
  622. Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
  623. to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
  624. moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
  625. The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
  626. is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
  627. included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
  628. user-base.
  629. - org-colview-xemacs.el
  630. - org-mac-message.el
  631. - org-mew.el
  632. - org-wl.el
  633. - ox-freedmind.el
  634. - ox-taskjuggler.el
  635. Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
  636. ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
  637. ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
  638. Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
  639. wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
  640. ** New packages in core
  641. *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
  642. =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
  643. *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
  644. =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
  645. *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
  646. =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
  647. vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
  648. *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
  649. =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
  650. ** New packages in contrib
  651. *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
  652. [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
  653. =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
  654. code.
  655. *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
  656. [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
  657. software, written entirely in the C programming language.
  658. ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
  659. entries.
  660. *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
  661. ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
  662. *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
  663. Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
  664. Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
  665. for starting headlines.
  666. *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
  667. ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
  668. locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
  669. the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
  670. [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
  671. *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
  672. ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
  673. *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
  674. [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
  675. presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  676. using =deck.js=.
  677. [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
  678. presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
  679. using =s5=.
  680. *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
  681. The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
  682. plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
  683. output.
  684. Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
  685. conversion from Org files to groff.
  686. *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
  687. This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
  688. *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
  689. This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
  690. with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
  691. entirely with Org.
  692. ** New features
  693. *** Export
  694. **** New export generic options
  695. If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
  696. it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
  697. Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
  698. - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
  699. =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
  700. You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
  701. file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
  702. - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
  703. =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
  704. now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
  705. [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
  706. new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
  707. set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
  708. standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
  709. contains time-stamps.
  710. To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
  711. Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
  712. the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
  713. **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
  714. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
  715. **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
  716. See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
  717. **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
  718. **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
  719. **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
  720. *** Structure editing
  721. **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
  722. **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
  723. [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
  724. prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
  725. **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
  726. This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
  727. would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
  728. create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
  729. an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
  730. region.
  731. **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
  732. In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
  733. _words__= will preserve markup.
  734. **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
  735. This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
  736. is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
  737. can slow down the flow of editing too much.
  738. **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
  739. These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
  740. speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
  741. **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
  742. These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
  743. now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
  744. =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
  745. forward and backward.
  746. **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
  747. **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
  748. Now Org will sort this list
  749. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  750. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  751. like this:
  752. : - [[http://def.org][A]]
  753. : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
  754. by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
  755. Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
  756. **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
  757. For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
  758. =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
  759. states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
  760. In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
  761. local variable.
  762. **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
  763. The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
  764. When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
  765. time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
  766. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
  767. This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
  768. restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
  769. The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
  770. restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
  771. option to =nil=.
  772. **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
  773. When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
  774. removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
  775. information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
  776. If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
  777. TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
  778. **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
  779. This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
  780. The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
  781. fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
  782. : #+attr_html: :width 300px
  783. *** Scheduled/deadline
  784. **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
  785. If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
  786. now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
  787. task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
  788. from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
  789. Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
  790. you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
  791. display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
  792. to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
  793. In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
  794. occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
  795. occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
  796. and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
  797. control this globally or per agenda.
  798. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
  799. See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
  800. **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
  801. =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
  802. *** Calendar, diary and appts
  803. **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
  804. By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
  805. normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
  806. the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
  807. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  808. ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
  809. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
  810. ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
  811. (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
  812. (kbd "@")
  813. (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
  814. #+END_SRC
  815. **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
  816. This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
  817. appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
  818. call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
  819. **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
  820. [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
  821. in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
  822. only show their description, not the full links.
  823. *** Agenda
  824. **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
  825. When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
  826. list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
  827. want to build a list of appointments.
  828. You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
  829. each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
  830. Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
  831. : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
  832. This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
  833. time value (i.e. appointments).
  834. **** New agenda sorting strategies
  835. [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
  836. | Strategy | Explanations |
  837. |----------------+------------------------------------------|
  838. | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
  839. | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
  840. | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
  841. | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
  842. | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
  843. | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
  844. | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |

  848. **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
  849. You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
  850. different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
  851. while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
  852. These new options are available:
  853. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
  854. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
  855. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
  856. - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
  857. For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
  858. view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
  859. without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
  860. When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
  861. to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
  862. no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
  863. to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
  864. show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
  865. non-tagged headlines.
  866. **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
  867. You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
  868. regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
  869. example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
  870. that take only =N= minutes.
  871. **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
  872. You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
  873. == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
  874. [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
  875. **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
  876. Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
  877. filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
  878. **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
  879. You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
  880. headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
  881. This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
  882. list of notes.
  883. **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
  884. It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
  885. your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
  886. =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
  887. This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
  888. change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
  889. **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
  890. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
  891. to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
  892. This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
  893. **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
  894. [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
  895. display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
  896. outline tree.
  897. **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
  898. =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
  899. overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
  900. asks for a confirmation.
  901. **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
  902. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
  903. the mark of the entry at point.
  904. - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
  905. toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
  906. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
  907. This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
  908. E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
  909. level 1.
  910. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
  911. This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
  912. options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
  913. **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
  914. This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
  915. entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
  916. **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
  917. The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
  918. it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
  919. [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
  920. string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
  921. **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  922. When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
  923. =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
  924. repeated beyond the current deadline.
  925. **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
  926. This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
  927. which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
  928. prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
  929. deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
  930. Read the full docstring for details.
  931. **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
  932. For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
  933. : * Task
  934. : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
  935. *** Capture
  936. **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
  937. With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
  938. point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
  939. capture template.
  940. **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
  941. If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
  942. expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
  943. **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
  944. [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  945. allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
  946. be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
  947. check against the name of the buffer.
  948. *** Tag groups
  949. Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
  950. (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
  951. headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
  952. of those tags.)
  953. You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
  954. agenda views, and for filtering.
  955. See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
  956. *** Links
  957. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
  958. Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
  959. other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
  960. through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
  961. Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
  962. as if the protocol was not known.
  963. You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
  964. **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
  965. Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
  966. Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
  967. RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
  968. active.
  969. **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
  970. =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
  971. description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
  972. with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
  973. **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
  974. When storing a link to a headline like
  975. : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
  976. [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
  977. It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
  978. there is no description.
  979. *** Table
  980. **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
  981. If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
  982. apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
  983. those other formulas.
  984. **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
  985. If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
  986. [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
  987. mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
  988. the end.
  989. **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
  990. If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
  991. english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
  992. internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
  993. doing computation.
  994. **** New lookup functions
  995. There are now three lookup functions:
  996. - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
  997. - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
  998. - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
  999. See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
  1000. *** Startup keywords
  1001. These new startup keywords are now available:
  1002. | Startup keyword | Option |
  1003. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1004. | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
  1005. | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
  1006. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1007. | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
  1008. | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
  1009. |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
  1010. | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
  1011. | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
  1012. *** Clocking
  1013. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
  1014. E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
  1015. clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
  1016. 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
  1017. your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
  1018. **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
  1019. When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
  1020. day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
  1021. for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
  1022. the clocktable.
  1023. See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
  1024. [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
  1025. **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
  1026. This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
  1027. milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
  1028. **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
  1029. When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
  1030. option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
  1031. [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
  1032. **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
  1033. **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
  1034. **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
  1035. **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
  1036. **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
  1037. **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
  1038. **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
  1039. *** Babel
  1040. **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
  1041. This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
  1042. **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
  1043. This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
  1044. same target than the block at point.
  1045. **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
  1046. When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
  1047. in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
  1048. file under the same directory than the base Org file.
  1049. When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
  1050. the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
  1051. time.
  1052. **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
  1053. This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
  1054. code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
  1055. manual for a usage example.
  1056. **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
  1057. If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
  1058. the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
  1059. collecting blocks for tangling.
  1060. **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
  1061. **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
  1062. Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
  1063. cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
  1064. **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
  1065. **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
  1066. When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
  1067. instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
  1068. *** Faces
  1069. - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
  1070. - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
  1071. - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
  1072. - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags
  1073. ** Miscellaneous
  1074. - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
  1075. - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
  1076. - [[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]]
  1077. - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
  1078. - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
  1079. - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
  1080. - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
  1081. - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
  1082. - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
  1083. - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
  1084. - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
  1085. - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
  1086. - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
  1087. - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
  1088. - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
  1089. - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
  1090. - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
  1091. - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports MacOSX version up to 10.8
  1092. - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
  1093. ** Outside Org
  1094. *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
  1095. David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
  1096. You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
  1097. *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
  1098. Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
  1099. Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
  1100. buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
  1101. Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
  1102. ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
  1103. source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
  1104. improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
  1105. found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
  1106. Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
  1107. - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
  1108. - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
  1109. *** MobileOrg for iOS
  1110. MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
  1111. the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
  1112. launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
  1113. * Version 7.9.3
  1114. ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
  1115. [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
  1116. org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
  1117. agenda views.)
  1118. When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
  1119. =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
  1120. to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
  1121. in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
  1122. agenda type to this variable.
  1123. Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
  1124. generation.
  1125. Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
  1126. lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
  1127. to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
  1128. them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
  1129. ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
  1130. Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
  1131. can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
  1132. invisible) blocked tasks.
  1133. ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
  1134. You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
  1135. consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
  1136. You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
  1137. ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
  1138. ** No GPL manual anymore
  1139. There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
  1140. case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
  1141. The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
  1142. ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
  1143. Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
  1144. various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
  1145. in most environments.
  1146. * Version 7.9.2
  1147. ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
  1148. You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
  1149. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1150. (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
  1151. #+END_SRC
  1152. It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
  1153. available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
  1154. extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
  1155. directory.)
  1156. See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
  1157. ** Overview of the new keybindings

  1173. ** New package and Babel language
  1174. *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
  1175. =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
  1176. *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
  1177. *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
  1178. ** Incompatible changes
  1179. - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
  1180. [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
  1181. - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
  1182. instead.
  1183. - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
  1184. =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
  1185. previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
  1186. ** New features and user-visible changes
  1187. *** Org Element
  1188. =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
  1189. in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
  1190. and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
  1191. core and many core functions rely on this package.
  1192. Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
  1193. =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
  1194. See the docstrings for more details.
  1195. Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
  1196. on =org-element.el=.
  1197. **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
  1198. The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
  1199. right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
  1200. a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
  1201. will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
  1202. **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
  1203. If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
  1204. down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
  1205. =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
  1206. forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
  1207. **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
  1208. This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
  1209. **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
  1210. This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
  1211. elements.
  1212. **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
  1213. **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
  1214. This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
  1215. point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
  1216. paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
  1217. item. Etc.
  1218. Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
  1219. the whole list.
  1220. To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
  1221. (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
  1222. [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
  1223. Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
  1224. element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
  1225. on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
  1226. the same level.
  1227. *** Org Agenda
  1228. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
  1229. There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
  1230. agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
  1231. you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
  1232. corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
  1233. When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
  1234. named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
  1235. agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
  1236. further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
  1237. generating new ones.
  1238. If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
  1239. agenda buffer.
  1240. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
  1241. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1242. agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
  1243. to this value
  1244. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1245. (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
  1246. '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
  1247. #+END_SRC
  1248. then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
  1249. visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
  1250. details on how to use this.
  1251. **** Changes in bulk actions
  1252. The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
  1253. features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
  1254. After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
  1255. the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
  1256. on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
  1257. will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
  1258. using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
  1259. You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
  1260. at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
  1261. To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
  1262. keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
  1263. =t=.
  1264. **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
  1265. **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
  1266. This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
  1267. There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
  1268. character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
  1269. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
  1270. When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
  1271. action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
  1272. invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
  1273. rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
  1274. =f= or =w=).
  1275. **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
  1276. =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
  1277. of deadline.
  1278. In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
  1279. because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
  1280. When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
  1281. fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
  1282. shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
  1283. several times.
  1284. **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
  1285. See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
  1286. **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
  1287. You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
  1288. filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
  1289. pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
  1290. filters and category filters.
  1291. You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
  1292. views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
  1293. configuration.
  1294. See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
  1295. hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
  1296. are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
  1297. point.
  1298. *** Org Links
  1299. **** Inserting links
  1300. When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
  1301. now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
  1302. description is often more useful when you look for the link you
  1303. want to insert.
  1304. Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
  1305. you complete a description, the literal link and its description
  1306. will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
  1307. link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
  1308. In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
  1309. highlighted.
  1310. **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
  1311. On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
  1312. abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
  1313. but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
  1314. that takes the tag as its own argument.)
  1315. **** New link type =help=
  1316. You can now create links from =help= buffers.
  1317. For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
  1318. =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
  1319. you go back to the same buffer.
  1320. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
  1321. This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
  1322. prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
  1323. =org-stored-links=.
  1324. This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
  1325. **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
  1326. When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
  1327. **** Org can now open multiple shell links
  1328. **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
  1329. **** RET now follows time stamps links
  1330. *** Org Editing
  1331. **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
  1332. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
  1333. [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
  1334. loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
  1335. keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
  1336. **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
  1337. If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
  1338. selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
  1339. all headlines in the region.
  1340. **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
  1341. **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
  1342. Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
  1343. with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
  1344. **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
  1345. **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
  1346. =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
  1347. You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
  1348. **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
  1349. When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
  1350. containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
  1351. commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
  1352. undo RET=.
  1353. *** Org Clock
  1354. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
  1355. **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
  1356. **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
  1357. This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
  1358. clocked entry, if any.
  1359. **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
  1360. **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
  1361. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
  1362. When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
  1363. last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
  1364. out.
  1365. You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
  1366. C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
  1367. and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
  1368. arguments).
  1369. **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
  1370. This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
  1371. in.
  1372. **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
  1373. [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
  1374. cells in clockreport.
  1375. [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
  1376. time cells in clockreport.
  1377. **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
  1378. [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
  1379. is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1380. [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
  1381. in the mode line and/or frame title.
  1382. This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
  1383. title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
  1384. for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
  1385. space in the frame title.
  1386. *** Org Appearance
  1387. **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
  1388. The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
  1389. on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
  1390. be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
  1391. don't want to see temporarily.
  1392. **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
  1393. This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
  1394. **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
  1395. There are these new entities:
  1396. : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "&tilde;" "~" "~" "~")
  1397. : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
  1398. : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
  1399. : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
  1400. : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
  1401. : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
  1402. **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
  1403. **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
  1404. **** New face value for =org-document-title=
  1405. The face is back to a normal height.
  1406. *** Org Columns
  1407. **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
  1408. **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
  1409. You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
  1410. will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
  1411. **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
  1412. If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
  1413. block will use its value as the column format.
  1414. **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
  1415. *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
  1416. **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
  1417. =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
  1418. When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
  1419. type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
  1420. interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
  1421. [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
  1422. **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
  1423. You can now use
  1424. : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
  1425. if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
  1426. **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
  1427. **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
  1428. "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
  1429. date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
  1430. =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
  1431. **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
  1432. When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
  1433. timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
  1434. sparse tree with =C-c /=.
  1435. *** Org Capture
  1436. **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
  1437. M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
  1438. template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
  1439. template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
  1440. you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
  1441. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
  1442. Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
  1443. capture templates should be available from. For example, when
  1444. set to this value
  1445. #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  1446. (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
  1447. '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
  1448. #+END_SRC
  1449. then the =c= capture template will only be available from
  1450. =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
  1451. more details on how to use this.
  1452. **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
  1453. **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
  1454. Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
  1455. You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
  1456. =nil=.
  1457. **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
  1458. See the manual for more explanations.
  1459. **** More control over empty lines
  1460. You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
  1461. control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
  1462. explanations.
  1463. **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
  1464. This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
  1465. *** Org Export
  1466. **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
  1467. =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
  1468. =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
  1469. available) to print beautiful tables.
  1470. **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
  1471. When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
  1472. will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
  1473. the table.
  1474. **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
  1475. The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
  1476. in the #+DATE option.
  1477. **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
  1478. See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
  1479. **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
  1480. **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
  1481. Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
  1482. More languages are always welcome.
  1483. **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
  1484. This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
  1485. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
  1486. **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
  1487. **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
  1488. **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
  1489. **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
  1490. **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
  1491. **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
  1492. Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
  1493. to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
  1494. *** Org Babel
  1495. **** New =:results drawer= parameter
  1496. =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
  1497. supported.
  1498. **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
  1499. =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
  1500. results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
  1501. =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
  1502. **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
  1503. It used to exports the results of the code.
  1504. *** Miscellaneous
  1505. **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
  1506. **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
  1507. If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
  1508. inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
  1509. **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
  1510. Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
  1511. Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
  1512. that Calc formulas can operate on them.
  1513. **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
  1514. **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
  1515. You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
  1516. set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
  1517. value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
  1518. alarm.
  1519. **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
  1520. This will increment the effort value.
  1521. It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
  1522. **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
  1523. =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
  1524. attach symbolic links.
  1525. **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
  1526. **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
  1527. =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
  1528. additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
  1529. **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
  1530. This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
  1531. **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
  1532. **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
  1533. **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
  1534. =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
  1535. When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
  1536. all top level list items.
  1537. **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
  1538. Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
  1539. **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
  1540. **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
  1541. **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
  1542. **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
  1543. When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
  1544. =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
  1545. will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
  1546. first headline in the region.
  1547. **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
  1548. When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
  1549. agenda.
  1550. ** Important bug fixes
  1551. *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
  1552. If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
  1553. perform completion with meaningful values.
  1554. *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
  1555. Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
  1556. HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
  1557. owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  1558. The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
  1559. the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
  1560. The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
  1561. mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
  1562. license.
  1563. =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
  1564. the code and the license to your needs.
  1565. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
  1566. explanations on why these changes were necessary.
  1567. * Version 7.8.11
  1568. ** Incompatible changes
  1569. *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
  1570. Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
  1571. *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
  1572. To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
  1573. version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
  1574. but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
  1575. made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
  1576. last-minute save.
  1577. *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  1578. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
  1579. sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
  1580. states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
  1581. *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  1582. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  1583. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  1584. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  1585. *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  1586. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
  1587. of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
  1588. necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
  1589. maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
  1590. for example for the special symbol support it needs.
  1591. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
  1592. way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
  1593. will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
  1594. that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
  1595. rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
  1596. =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  1597. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  1598. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  1599. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  1600. #+end_src
  1601. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
  1602. setup./
  1603. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  1604. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
  1605. definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
  1606. the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  1607. The two new variables are:
  1608. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
  1609. variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
  1610. Normally you should not change this variable. The only
  1611. reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
  1612. causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
  1613. you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
  1614. Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  1615. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
  1616. you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
  1617. classes.
  1618. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  1619. document are:
  1620. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  1621. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  1622. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  1623. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  1624. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
  1625. if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
  1626. header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
  1627. put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
  1628. #+begin_example
  1629. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  1630. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  1631. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  1632. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  1633. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  1634. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  1635. #+end_example
  1636. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
  1637. should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
  1638. are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
  1639. applies to the following packages:
  1640. - inputenc
  1641. - fontenc
  1642. - fixltx2e
  1643. - graphicx
  1644. - longtable
  1645. - float
  1646. - wrapfig
  1647. - soul
  1648. - t1enc
  1649. - textcomp
  1650. - marvosym
  1651. - wasysym
  1652. - latexsym
  1653. - amssymb
  1654. - hyperref
  1655. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
  1656. you are using, you can remove it from
  1657. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
  1658. some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
  1659. properly.
  1660. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
  1661. to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
  1662. holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
  1663. said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
  1664. holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
  1665. the header.
  1666. *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  1667. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
  1668. is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
  1669. an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
  1670. code using it.
  1671. *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
  1672. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  1673. *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  1674. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  1675. ** Important new features
  1676. *** New Org to ODT exporter
  1677. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  1678. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
  1679. for more information on how to customize it.
  1680. *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  1681. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
  1682. describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
  1683. use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
  1684. section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
  1685. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  1686. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
  1687. [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
  1688. To switch over to the new system:
  1689. 1. Run
  1690. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  1691. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  1692. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  1693. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  1694. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  1695. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  1696. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  1697. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  1698. customization.
  1699. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  1700. with org-remember:
  1701. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  1702. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  1703. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  1704. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  1705. with using both system in parallel.
  1706. ** New libraries
  1707. *** New Org libraries
  1708. **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  1709. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  1710. **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  1711. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  1712. To use, put the following in your init file:
  1713. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  1714. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  1715. #+END_EXAMPLE
  1716. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
  1717. previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
  1718. LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
  1719. encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  1720. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
  1721. protected, as text inside environments generally is.
  1722. When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
  1723. class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
  1724. to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
  1725. anything.
  1726. **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  1727. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
  1728. He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  1729. **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  1730. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  1731. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
  1732. etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
  1733. /org-ctags.el/.
  1734. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
  1735. call function to do something special with text links.
  1736. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  1737. **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  1738. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  1739. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  1740. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  1741. Org-mode manual:
  1742. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  1743. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  1744. *** New Babel libraries
  1745. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  1746. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  1747. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  1748. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  1749. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  1750. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  1751. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  1752. ** Other new features and various enhancements
  1753. *** Hyperlinks
  1754. **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  1755. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  1756. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  1757. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  1758. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  1759. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  1760. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  1761. The key new functions are
  1762. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  1763. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  1764. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  1765. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  1766. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  1767. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  1768. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  1769. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  1770. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  1771. **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  1772. You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
  1773. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  1774. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  1775. **** Modified link escaping
  1776. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  1777. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  1778. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  1779. : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
  1780. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  1781. : link).
  1782. :
  1783. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  1784. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  1785. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  1786. : percent escaped links are solved.
  1787. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  1788. **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  1789. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  1790. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  1791. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  1792. **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  1793. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  1794. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  1795. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  1796. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  1797. string to be executed.
  1798. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  1799. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
  1800. to org-file-apps:
  1801. #+begin_example
  1802. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  1803. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  1804. #+end_example
  1805. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  1806. *** Dates and time
  1807. **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  1808. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  1809. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  1810. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  1811. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  1812. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  1813. will work on the current entry.
  1814. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  1815. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  1816. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  1817. **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  1818. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  1819. #+begin_example
  1820. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  1821. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  1822. #+end_example
  1823. *** Agenda
  1824. **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  1825. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  1826. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  1827. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  1828. **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  1829. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  1830. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  1831. entries using a function.
  1832. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  1833. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  1834. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  1835. **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  1836. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
  1837. the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
  1838. C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
  1839. **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  1840. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
  1841. random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
  1842. This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
  1843. you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
  1844. them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
  1845. a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
  1846. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  1847. *** Exporting
  1848. **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  1849. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
  1850. the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  1851. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
  1852. docstring of these variable for details about available
  1853. %-sequences.
  1854. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
  1855. way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
  1856. formatting string will insert a string.
  1857. **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  1858. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
  1859. improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
  1860. representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
  1861. of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
  1862. in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
  1863. exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
  1864. C-e u=, respectively.
  1865. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
  1866. targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  1867. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  1868. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
  1869. Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
  1870. your preference.
  1871. **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  1872. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
  1873. class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  1874. **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  1875. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  1876. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  1877. **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  1878. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
  1879. to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
  1880. presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
  1881. support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
  1882. section]] in the manual for more details.
  1883. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
  1884. BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
  1885. for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
  1886. individual could.
  1887. *** Refiling
  1888. **** Refile targets can now be cached
  1889. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  1890. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
  1891. have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
  1892. the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
  1893. offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  1894. **** New logging support for refiling
  1895. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
  1896. added to this entry. For details, see the new option
  1897. =org-log-refile=.
  1898. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  1899. *** Completion
  1900. **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
  1901. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  1902. *** Tables
  1903. **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  1904. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
  1905. Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
  1906. **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  1907. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
  1908. the displayed in the buffer.
  1909. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  1910. **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  1911. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
  1912. Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
  1913. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  1914. |--------+--------+---------|
  1915. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  1916. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  1917. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
  1918. optional.
  1919. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
  1920. feedback on this.
  1921. **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  1922. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  1923. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  1924. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  1925. : things like
  1926. :
  1927. : @3=
  1928. : @2$2..@5$7=
  1929. : @I$2..@II$4=
  1930. :
  1931. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  1932. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  1933. : table.
  1934. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  1935. **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  1936. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
  1937. there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  1938. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  1939. *** Lists
  1940. **** Improved handling of lists
  1941. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  1942. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
  1943. lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
  1944. doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
  1945. indented than it.
  1946. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  1947. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  1948. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  1949. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  1950. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
  1951. controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
  1952. `org-list-export-context'.
  1953. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
  1954. keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
  1955. and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
  1956. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
  1957. standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
  1958. prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
  1959. make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
  1960. integrate paragraphs inside a list.
  1961. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
  1962. used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
  1963. blank line around, without breaking list structure.
  1964. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  1965. *** Inline display of linked images
  1966. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
  1967. toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
  1968. that have no description part will be inlined.
  1969. *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  1970. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
  1971. from 1, you can now do it like this:
  1972. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  1973. *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  1974. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
  1975. code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
  1976. augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
  1977. variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
  1978. also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
  1979. into account all header arguments, and variables.
  1980. A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
  1981. can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
  1982. expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
  1983. tangling
  1984. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
  1985. values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
  1986. stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
  1987. is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
  1988. to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
  1989. properties or in tables.
  1990. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  1991. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
  1992. names, and rownames across all languages.
  1993. *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  1994. **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  1995. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
  1996. kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
  1997. Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  1998. **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  1999. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
  2000. request by Scott Otterson.
  2001. **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  2002. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
  2003. entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
  2004. and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
  2005. display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
  2006. superscripts, see the variable
  2007. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  2008. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  2009. **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  2010. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  2011. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
  2012. author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
  2013. following new faces:
  2014. =org-document-title=
  2015. =org-document-info=
  2016. =org-document-info-keyword=
  2017. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
  2018. make the corresponding keywords disappear.
  2019. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  2020. **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  2021. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  2022. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
  2023. specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
  2024. background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
  2025. variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
  2026. property is affected by this setting.
  2027. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
  2028. The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  2029. **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  2030. Requested by Michael Brand.
  2031. **** Better level cycling function
  2032. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
  2033. through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
  2034. version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
  2035. this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  2036. **** Adaptive filling
  2037. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
  2038. the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
  2039. now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
  2040. comments to be filled correctly.
  2041. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  2042. **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  2043. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  2044. **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  2045. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
  2046. assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  2047. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  2048. *** Clocking
  2049. **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  2050. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
  2051. increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
  2052. duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
  2053. slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
  2054. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  2055. **** Localized clock tables
  2056. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
  2057. the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
  2058. the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
  2059. available translated strings.
  2060. **** Show clock overruns in mode line
  2061. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
  2062. planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
  2063. using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
  2064. extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  2065. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  2066. **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  2067. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
  2068. into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
  2069. can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
  2070. of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
  2071. =nil=.
  2072. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  2073. *** Misc
  2074. **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  2075. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
  2076. See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  2077. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  2078. **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  2079. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
  2080. some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
  2081. would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
  2082. property) back.
  2083. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
  2084. change.
  2085. **** New helper functions in org-table.el
  2086. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  2087. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  2088. #+begin_example
  2089. org-table-get
  2090. org-table-put
  2091. org-table-current-line
  2092. org-table-goto-line
  2093. #+end_example
  2094. **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  2095. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
  2096. archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
  2097. node.
  2098. This was requested by Tom.
  2099. **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  2100. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
  2101. example by viewing from the agenda.
  2102. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
