12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** Properties drawers syntax changes
14 Properties drawers are now required to be located right after
15 a headline and its planning line, when applicable.
17 It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
18 logged before the property drawer. The following function will repair
21 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
22 (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
23 "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
24 Ignore non Org buffers."
25 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
27 (goto-char (point-min))
28 (let ((case-fold-search t)
29 (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
30 (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
34 (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
36 (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
38 (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))

46 (insert (delete-and-extract-region
48 (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
49 (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
51 *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
52 ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~,
53 ~org-show-entry-below~ and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist.
54 Instead, visibility is controlled through a single variable:
55 ~org-show-context-detail~, which see.
56 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
57 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
58 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
60 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
61 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
62 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
63 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
64 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
66 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
67 docstring for more information.
68 - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
69 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
70 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
71 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
72 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
73 *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
74 The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
75 ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-next-visible-heading~
76 respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
77 functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
78 (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
80 *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
81 Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
82 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
83 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
84 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
85 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
86 accessible from the export dispatcher.
87 *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
88 ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
89 *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
90 The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
93 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
94 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
97 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
98 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
99 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
100 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
101 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
102 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
103 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
104 this variable locally.
105 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
106 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
107 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
108 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
109 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
110 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
111 *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
112 Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
113 would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
115 *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
116 Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
118 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
119 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
120 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
121 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
122 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
123 possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
125 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
126 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
127 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
128 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
130 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
131 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
132 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
133 ~org-drawers~ variable.
134 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
135 Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
136 mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
137 "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
138 configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
139 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
140 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
142 *** New option in ASCII export
143 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
144 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
145 *** New blocks in ASCII export
146 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
147 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
148 *** More back-end specific publishing options
149 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
150 increased. See manual for details.
151 *** Export inline source blocks
152 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
153 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
154 in the output, depending on the parameters.
155 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
156 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
157 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
158 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
159 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
160 more features. See docstring for details.
161 *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
162 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
163 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
164 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
165 *** Improve radio tables
166 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
167 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
168 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
169 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
170 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
171 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
172 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
173 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
174 source blocks exported by the minted package.
175 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
176 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
177 would throw an error. A new variable
178 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
179 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
180 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
182 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
184 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
185 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
186 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
187 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
188 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
189 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
190 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
191 now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
192 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
193 *** Export unnumbered headlines
194 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
195 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
196 property is inherited by children.
197 *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
198 It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
199 through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
200 keys, to sort a table.
201 *** Table of contents can be local to a section
202 The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See
204 *** Countdown timers can now be paused.
205 ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
207 *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
208 When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
209 displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
210 *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
211 It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
212 ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
213 *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
214 It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
215 title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
218 *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
219 ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
220 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
221 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
222 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
223 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
224 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
225 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
227 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
228 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
229 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
230 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
231 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
232 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
233 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
234 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
235 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
236 particular test failure was introduced.
237 *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
238 Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
239 the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as
240 well as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~
241 when ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
242 *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
243 New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
244 Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
247 ** Incompatible changes
248 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
249 This may require two changes in user config.
251 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
252 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
253 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
255 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
257 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
258 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
259 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
261 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
262 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
264 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
268 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
270 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
272 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
273 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
274 option keywords like :html-include-style.
276 So you need to replace
278 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
282 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
284 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
285 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
287 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
289 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
290 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
291 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
293 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
294 the other optional arguments accordingly.
296 *** Export back-ends are now structures
298 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
299 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
300 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
303 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
305 ** Important bugfixes
307 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
308 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
310 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
312 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
313 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
314 separator starting a TOTO match string.
317 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
319 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
321 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
324 - Support for .pgf files
325 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
326 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
327 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
328 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
329 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
330 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
331 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
333 *** New functions for paragraph motion
335 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
336 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
337 in a paragraph-like way.
339 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
341 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
342 dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
343 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
344 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
345 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
347 *** Anonymous export back-ends
349 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
350 which can then be passed to export functions like
351 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
353 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
354 registering a new back-end.
356 *** New agenda fortnight view
358 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
359 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
362 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
364 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
365 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
367 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
368 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
369 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
371 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
372 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
374 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
375 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
376 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
377 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
378 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
381 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
383 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
385 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
387 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
389 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
391 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
393 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
395 If you set this to the following
397 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
399 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
401 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
403 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
405 ** New contributed packages
407 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
408 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
411 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
412 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
416 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
418 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
419 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
420 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
421 the same with example blocks.
423 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
430 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
432 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
435 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
436 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
437 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
439 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
440 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
441 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
442 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
443 detailed explanations.
445 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
446 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
447 function has been called already.
449 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
452 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
454 ** Incompatible changes
456 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
458 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
460 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
461 you will have to update them.
463 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
465 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
466 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
468 **** New export engine
470 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
471 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
472 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
473 /all/ export back-ends.
475 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
476 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
477 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
478 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
479 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
481 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
482 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
484 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
485 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
486 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
487 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
489 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
491 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
493 should now be written
495 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
497 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
498 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
499 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
501 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
503 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
505 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
508 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
509 remember templates into capture templates.
511 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
513 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
514 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
516 **** Note for third-party developers
518 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
519 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
520 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
522 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
525 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
527 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
528 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
529 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
531 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
532 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
533 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
536 - org-colview-xemacs.el
543 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
544 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
545 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
547 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
548 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
550 ** New packages in core
552 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
554 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
556 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
558 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
560 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
562 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
563 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
565 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
567 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
569 ** New packages in contrib
571 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
573 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
575 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source

631 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
633 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
634 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
641 **** New export generic options
643 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
644 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
646 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
648 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
649 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
650 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
651 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
653 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
654 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
655 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
656 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
657 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
658 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
659 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
660 contains time-stamps.
662 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
663 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
664 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
666 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
668 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
670 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
672 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
674 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
675 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
676 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
677 *** Structure editing
679 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
680 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
682 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
683 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
685 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
687 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
688 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
689 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
690 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
693 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
695 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
696 _words__= will preserve markup.
698 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
700 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
701 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
702 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
704 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
706 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
707 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
709 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
711 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
712 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
713 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
714 forward and backward.
716 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
717 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
719 Now Org will sort this list
721 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
722 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
726 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
727 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
729 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
730 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
731 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
733 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
734 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
735 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
737 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
740 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
742 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
743 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
744 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
746 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
748 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
749 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
750 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
751 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
753 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
755 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
756 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
757 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
758 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
759 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
761 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
763 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
764 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
765 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
767 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
768 *** Scheduled/deadline
770 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
772 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
773 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
774 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
775 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
777 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
778 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
779 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
780 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
782 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
783 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
784 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
785 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
786 control this globally or per agenda.
788 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
790 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
792 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
794 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
795 *** Calendar, diary and appts
797 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
799 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
800 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
801 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
803 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
804 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
805 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
807 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
808 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
810 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
813 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
815 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
816 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
817 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
819 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
821 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
822 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
823 only show their description, not the full links.
826 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
828 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
829 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
830 want to build a list of appointments.
832 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
833 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
835 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
837 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
839 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
840 time value (i.e. appointments).
842 **** New agenda sorting strategies
844 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
846 | Strategy | Explanations |
847 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
848 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
849 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
850 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
851 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
852 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
853 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
854 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
855 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
856 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
857 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
859 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
861 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
862 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
863 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
865 These new options are available:
867 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
868 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
869 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
870 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
872 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
873 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
874 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
876 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
877 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
878 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
879 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
880 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
881 non-tagged headlines.
883 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
885 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
886 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
887 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
888 that take only =N= minutes.
890 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
892 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
893 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
894 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
896 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
898 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
899 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
901 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
903 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
904 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
906 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
909 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
911 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
912 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
913 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
915 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
916 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
918 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
920 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
921 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
923 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
925 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
927 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
928 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
931 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
933 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
934 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
935 asks for a confirmation.
937 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
939 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
940 the mark of the entry at point.
942 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
943 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
945 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
947 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
948 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
951 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
953 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
954 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
956 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
958 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
959 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
961 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
963 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
964 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
965 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
966 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
968 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
970 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
971 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
972 repeated beyond the current deadline.
974 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
976 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
977 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
978 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
979 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
981 Read the full docstring for details.
983 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
985 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
988 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
991 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
993 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
994 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
997 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
999 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
1000 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
1002 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
1004 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1005 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
1006 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
1007 check against the name of the buffer.
1010 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
1011 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
1012 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
1015 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
1016 agenda views, and for filtering.
1018 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
1022 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
1024 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
1025 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
1026 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
1028 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
1029 as if the protocol was not known.
1031 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
1033 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
1035 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
1036 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
1037 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
1040 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
1042 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
1043 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
1044 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
1046 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
1048 When storing a link to a headline like
1050 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
1052 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
1053 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
1054 there is no description.
1057 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
1059 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
1060 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
1061 those other formulas.
1063 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
1065 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
1066 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
1067 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
1070 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
1072 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
1073 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
1074 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
1077 **** New lookup functions
1079 There are now three lookup functions:
1081 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
1082 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
1083 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
1085 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
1086 *** Startup keywords
1088 These new startup keywords are now available:
1090 | Startup keyword | Option |
1091 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1092 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
1093 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
1094 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1095 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
1096 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
1097 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1098 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
1099 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
1103 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
1105 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
1106 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
1107 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
1108 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
1110 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
1112 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
1113 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
1114 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1117 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1118 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1120 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1122 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1123 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1125 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1127 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1128 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1129 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1131 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1132 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1133 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1134 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1135 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1136 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1137 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1140 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1142 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1144 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1146 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1147 same target than the block at point.
1149 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1151 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1152 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1153 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1155 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1156 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1159 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1161 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1162 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1163 manual for a usage example.
1165 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1167 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1168 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1169 collecting blocks for tangling.
1171 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1172 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1174 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1175 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1176 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1177 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1179 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1180 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.

1212 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
1214 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1216 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1218 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1220 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1221 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1222 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1223 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1224 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1225 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1226 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1227 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1229 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
1231 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
1232 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
1234 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1236 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1237 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1238 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1242 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1244 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1245 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1248 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1249 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1250 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1251 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1252 agenda type to this variable.
1254 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1257 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1258 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1259 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1260 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1262 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1264 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1265 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1266 invisible) blocked tasks.
1268 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1270 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1271 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1273 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1275 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1276 ** No GPL manual anymore
1278 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1279 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1281 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1283 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1285 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1286 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1287 in most environments.
1291 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1293 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1295 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1296 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
1299 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
1300 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
1301 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
1304 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
1306 ** Overview of the new keybindings
1308 | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |

1324 ** New package and Babel language
1326 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
1328 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
1330 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
1331 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
1333 ** Incompatible changes
1335 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
1336 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
1338 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
1341 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
1342 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
1343 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
1345 ** New features and user-visible changes
1349 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
1350 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
1351 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
1352 core and many core functions rely on this package.
1354 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
1355 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
1357 See the docstrings for more details.
1359 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
1360 on =org-element.el=.
1362 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
1364 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
1365 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
1366 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
1367 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
1369 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
1371 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
1372 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
1373 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
1374 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
1376 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
1378 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
1380 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
1382 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
1385 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
1386 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
1388 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
1389 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
1390 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
1393 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
1396 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
1397 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
1398 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
1400 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
1401 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
1402 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
1407 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
1409 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
1410 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
1411 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
1412 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
1414 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
1415 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
1416 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
1417 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
1418 generating new ones.
1420 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
1423 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1425 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1426 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
1429 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1430 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
1431 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
1434 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
1435 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
1436 details on how to use this.
1438 **** Changes in bulk actions
1440 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
1441 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
1443 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
1444 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
1445 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
1446 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
1447 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
1449 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
1450 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
1452 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
1453 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
1456 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
1458 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
1460 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
1462 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
1463 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
1465 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
1467 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
1468 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
1469 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
1470 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
1473 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1475 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
1478 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
1479 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
1480 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
1481 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
1482 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
1485 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
1487 See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
1489 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
1491 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
1492 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
1493 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
1494 filters and category filters.
1496 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
1497 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
1500 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
1501 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
1502 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
1507 **** Inserting links
1509 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
1510 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
1511 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
1514 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
1515 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
1516 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
1517 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
1519 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
1522 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
1524 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
1525 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
1526 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
1527 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
1529 **** New link type =help=
1531 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
1533 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
1534 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
1535 you go back to the same buffer.
1537 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
1539 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
1540 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
1543 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
1545 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
1547 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
1549 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
1551 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
1553 **** RET now follows time stamps links
1557 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
1559 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
1560 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
1561 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
1562 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
1564 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
1566 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
1567 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
1568 all headlines in the region.
1570 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
1572 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
1574 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
1575 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
1577 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
1579 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
1581 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
1583 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
1585 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
1587 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
1588 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
1589 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
1594 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
1596 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
1598 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
1600 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
1601 clocked entry, if any.
1603 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
1605 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
1607 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
1609 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
1610 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
1613 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
1614 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
1615 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
1619 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
1621 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
1624 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
1626 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
1627 cells in clockreport.
1629 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
1630 time cells in clockreport.
1633 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
1635 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
1636 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
1638 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
1639 in the mode line and/or frame title.
1641 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
1642 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
1643 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
1644 space in the frame title.
1648 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
1650 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
1651 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
1652 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
1653 don't want to see temporarily.
1655 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
1657 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
1659 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1661 There are these new entities:
1663 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
1664 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
1665 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
1666 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
1667 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
1668 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
1670 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
1671 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
1672 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
1674 The face is back to a normal height.
1678 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
1679 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
1681 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
1682 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
1684 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
1686 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
1687 block will use its value as the column format.
1689 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
1691 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
1693 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
1695 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
1697 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
1698 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
1699 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
1700 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
1702 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
1706 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
1708 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
1710 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
1712 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
1714 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
1715 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
1716 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
1718 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
1720 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
1721 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
1722 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
1726 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
1728 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
1729 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
1730 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
1731 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
1733 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
1735 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1736 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
1739 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1740 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
1741 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
1744 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
1745 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
1746 more details on how to use this.
1748 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
1749 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
1751 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
1752 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
1755 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
1757 See the manual for more explanations.
1759 **** More control over empty lines
1761 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
1762 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
1765 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
1767 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
1771 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
1773 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
1774 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
1775 available) to print beautiful tables.
1777 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
1779 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
1780 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
1783 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
1785 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
1786 in the #+DATE option.
1788 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
1790 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
1792 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
1793 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
1795 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
1796 More languages are always welcome.
1798 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
1800 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
1801 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
1803 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
1804 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
1805 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
1806 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
1807 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
1808 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
1810 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
1811 to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
1815 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
1817 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
1820 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
1822 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
1823 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
1825 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
1827 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
1829 It used to exports the results of the code.
1833 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
1834 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
1836 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
1837 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
1839 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
1841 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
1842 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
1843 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
1845 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
1846 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
1848 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
1849 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
1850 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
1853 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
1855 This will increment the effort value.
1857 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
1859 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
1861 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
1862 attach symbolic links.
1864 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
1866 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
1868 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
1869 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
1871 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
1873 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
1875 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
1876 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
1877 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
1879 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
1881 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
1882 all top level list items.
1884 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
1886 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
1888 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
1889 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
1891 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
1893 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
1895 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
1896 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
1897 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
1898 first headline in the region.
1900 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
1902 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
1905 ** Important bug fixes
1907 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
1909 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
1910 perform completion with meaningful values.
1912 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
1914 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
1915 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
1916 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1918 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
1919 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
1921 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
1922 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
1925 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
1926 the code and the license to your needs.
1928 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
1929 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
1933 ** Incompatible changes
1935 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
1937 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
1939 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
1941 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
1942 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
1943 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
1944 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
1947 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
1949 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
1950 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
1951 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
1953 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
1955 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
1956 =org-agenda-span= instead.
1958 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
1960 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
1962 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
1963 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
1964 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
1965 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
1966 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
1968 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
1969 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
1970 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
1971 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
1972 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
1973 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
1975 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
1976 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
1977 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
1980 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
1983 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
1984 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
1985 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
1986 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
1988 The two new variables are:
1990 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
1991 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
1992 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
1993 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
1994 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
1995 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
1996 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
1998 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
1999 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
2002 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
2005 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
2006 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
2007 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
2008 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
2010 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
2011 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
2012 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
2013 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
2016 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
2017 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
2018 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
2019 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
2020 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
2021 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
2024 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
2025 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
2026 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
2027 applies to the following packages:
2045 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
2046 you are using, you can remove it from
2047 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
2048 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
2051 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
2052 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
2053 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
2054 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
2055 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
2058 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
2060 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
2061 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
2062 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
2065 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
2067 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
2069 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
2071 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
2073 ** Important new features
2075 *** New Org to ODT exporter
2077 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
2079 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
2080 for more information on how to customize it.
2082 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
2084 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
2085 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
2086 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
2087 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
2089 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
2090 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
2091 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
2093 To switch over to the new system:
2097 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
2099 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
2100 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
2101 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
2102 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
2103 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
2105 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
2107 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
2110 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
2113 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
2115 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2116 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2117 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2118 with using both system in parallel.
2122 *** New Org libraries
2123 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2125 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2127 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2129 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2131 To use, put the following in your init file:
2134 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2137 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2138 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2139 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2140 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2141 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2142 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2143 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2144 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2145 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2148 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2150 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2151 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2153 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2155 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2156 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2157 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2160 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2161 call function to do something special with text links.
2163 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2165 **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
2167 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2168 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2169 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2172 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2174 Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
2176 *** New Babel libraries
2178 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2179 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2180 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2181 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2182 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2183 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2184 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2186 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2190 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2192 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2193 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2194 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2195 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2196 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2197 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2199 The key new functions are
2201 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2202 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2203 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2205 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2206 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2208 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2209 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2211 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2212 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2214 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2216 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2217 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2218 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2220 **** Modified link escaping
2222 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2224 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2225 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2226 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2227 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2230 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2231 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2232 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2233 : percent escaped links are solved.
2235 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2237 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2239 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2240 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2242 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2244 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2246 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2247 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2248 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2249 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2250 string to be executed.
2252 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2253 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2257 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2258 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2261 Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
2265 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2267 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2268 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2269 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2270 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2272 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2273 will work on the current entry.
2275 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2276 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2278 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2280 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2282 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2285 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2286 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2291 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2293 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2294 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2295 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2297 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
2299 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
2300 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
2301 entries using a function.
2303 Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
2304 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
2305 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
2307 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
2309 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
2310 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
2311 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
2313 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
2315 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
2316 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
2317 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
2318 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
2319 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
2320 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
2322 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
2326 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
2328 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
2329 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
2331 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
2332 docstring of these variable for details about available
2335 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
2336 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
2337 formatting string will insert a string.
2339 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
2341 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
2342 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
2343 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
2344 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
2345 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
2346 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
2347 C-e u=, respectively.
2349 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
2350 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
2351 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
2352 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
2353 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
2356 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
2358 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
2359 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
2361 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
2363 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
2364 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
2366 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
2368 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
2369 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
2370 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
2371 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
2372 section]] in the manual for more details.
2374 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
2375 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
2376 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
2381 **** Refile targets can now be cached
2383 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
2384 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
2385 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
2386 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
2387 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
2389 **** New logging support for refiling
2391 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
2392 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
2395 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
2399 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
2401 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
2405 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
2407 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
2408 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
2410 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
2412 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
2413 the displayed in the buffer.
2415 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
2417 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
2419 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
2420 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
2422 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
2423 |--------+--------+---------|
2424 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
2425 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
2427 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
2430 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
2433 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
2435 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
2437 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
2438 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
2445 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
2446 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
2449 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
2451 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
2453 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
2454 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
2456 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
2460 **** Improved handling of lists
2462 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
2464 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
2465 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
2466 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
2469 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
2470 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
2471 counters like [@c] or [@W].
2473 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
2474 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
2475 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
2476 `org-list-export-context'.
2478 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
2479 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
2480 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
2482 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
2483 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
2484 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
2485 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
2486 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
2488 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
2489 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
2490 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
2492 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
2494 *** Inline display of linked images
2496 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
2497 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
2498 that have no description part will be inlined.
2500 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
2502 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
2503 from 1, you can now do it like this:
2505 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
2507 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
2509 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
2510 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
2511 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
2512 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
2513 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
2514 into account all header arguments, and variables.
2516 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
2517 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
2518 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
2521 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
2522 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
2523 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
2524 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
2525 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
2526 properties or in tables.
2528 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
2529 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
2530 names, and rownames across all languages.
2532 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
2534 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
2536 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
2537 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
2538 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
2540 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
2542 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
2543 request by Scott Otterson.
2545 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
2547 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
2548 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
2549 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
2550 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
2551 superscripts, see the variable
2552 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
2554 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
2556 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
2558 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
2559 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
2560 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
2561 following new faces:
2563 =org-document-title=
2565 =org-document-info-keyword=
2567 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
2568 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
2570 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
2572 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
2574 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
2575 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
2576 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
2577 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
2578 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
2579 property is affected by this setting.
2581 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
2582 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
2584 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
2586 Requested by Michael Brand.
2588 **** Better level cycling function
2590 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
2591 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
2592 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
2593 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
2595 **** Adaptive filling
2597 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
2598 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
2599 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
2600 comments to be filled correctly.
2602 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
2604 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
2606 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
2608 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
2610 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
2611 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
2613 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
2617 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
2619 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
2620 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
2621 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
2622 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
2624 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
2626 **** Localized clock tables
2628 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
2629 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
2630 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
2631 available translated strings.
2633 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
2635 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
2636 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
2637 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
2638 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
2640 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
2642 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
2644 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
2645 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
2646 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
2647 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
2650 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
2654 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
2656 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
2657 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
2659 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
2661 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
2663 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
2664 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
2665 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
2668 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
2671 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
2673 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
2674 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
2679 org-table-current-line
2683 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
2685 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
2686 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
2689 This was requested by Tom.
2691 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
2693 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
2694 example by viewing from the agenda.
2696 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
