13 ** Incompatible changes
15 *** Variables relative to clocksum duration are obsolete
17 ~org-time-clocksum-format~, ~org-time-clocksum-use-fractional~ and
18 ~org-time-clocksum-fractional-format~ are obsolete. If you changed
19 them, consider modifying ~org-duration-format~ instead.
21 Variable ~org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations~ is also obsolete.
22 Consider setting ~org-duration-units~ instead.
24 *** ~org-at-timestamp-p~ optional argument accepts different values
26 See docstrings for the allowed values. For backward compatibility,
27 ~(org-at-timestamp-p t)~ is still supported, but should be updated
30 *** ~org-capture-templates~ no longer accepts S-expressions as file names
32 Since functions are allowed there, a straightforward way to migrate
39 : (file (lambda () (sexp)))
41 *** Deleted contributed packages
43 =org-ebib.el, =org-bullets.el= and =org-mime.el= have been deleted
44 from the contrib/ directory.
46 You can now find them here :
48 - https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib
49 - https://github.com/sabof/org-bullets
50 - https://github.com/org-mime/org-mime
52 *** Change ~org-texinfo-classes~ value
53 The value cannot support functions to create sectionning commands
54 anymore. Also, the sectionning commands should include commands for
55 appendices. See the docstring for more information.
56 *** Removal of ~:sitemap-sans-extension~
58 The publishing property is no longer recognized, as a consequence of
59 changes to site-map generation.
61 You can get the same functionality by setting ~:sitemap-format-entry~
65 (lambda (entry style project)
66 (cond ((not (directory-name-p entry))
67 (format "[[file:%s][%s]]"
68 (file-name-sans-extension entry)
69 (org-publish-find-title entry project)))
70 ((eq style 'tree) (file-name-nondirectory (directory-file-name entry)))
74 *** Change signature for ~:sitemap-function~
76 ~:sitemap-function~ now expects to be called with two arguments. See
77 ~org-publish-project-alist~ for details.
79 *** Change signature for some properties in ~org-list-to-generic~
81 ~:istart~, ~:icount~, ~:iend~ and ~:isep~ now expect the type of the
82 list as their first argument.
84 *** Change signature for ~org-get-repeater~
85 The optional argument is now a string to extract the repeater from.
86 See docstring for details.
88 *** Change signature for ~org-time-string-to-time~
89 See docstring for changes.
91 *** Change order of items in ~org-agenda-time-grid~
92 ~org-agenda-time-grid~ gained an extra item to allow users to customize
93 the string displayed after times in the agenda. See docstring for
97 *** ~org-attach~ can move directory contents
98 When setting a new directory for an entry, org-attach offers to move
99 files over from the old directory. Using a prefix arg will reset the
100 directory to old, ID based one.
102 *** New Org duration library
103 This new library implements tools to read and print time durations in
104 various formats (e.g., "H:MM", or "1d 2h 3min"...).
106 See ~org-duration-to-minutes~ and ~org-duration-from-minutes~
110 **** New variable : ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~
111 **** New variable : ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~
112 **** New variable : ~org-deadline-past-days~
113 See docstring for details.
114 **** Binding C-c C-x < for ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
115 *** New value for ~org-publish-sitemap-sort-folders~
117 The new ~ignore~ value effectively allows toggling inclusion of
118 directories in published site-maps.
122 **** Scheme: support for tables
123 **** Scheme: new variable: ~org-babel-scheme-null-to~
125 This new custom option allows to use a empty list or null symbol to
126 format the table output, initially assigned to ~hlines~.
128 **** Scheme: new header ~:prologue~
130 A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
131 developers to prepend code to the scheme block being processed.
133 Multiple ~:prologue~ headers can be added each of them using a string
134 with the content to be added.
136 The scheme blocks are prepared by surronding the code in the block
137 with a let form. The content of the ~:prologue~ headers are prepended
138 before this let form.
140 **** Support for hledger accounting reports added
141 **** Clojure: new setting ~org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout~
143 Creation of a new setting to specify the Cider timeout. By setting
144 the =org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout= setting option. The value
145 is in seconds and if set to =nil= then no timeout will occur.
146 **** Clojure: new header ~:show-process~
148 A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
149 developers to output the process of an ongoing process into a new
152 You can tell Org Babel to output the process of a running code block.
154 To show that output you only have to specify the =:show-process=
155 option in the code block's header like this:
158 ,#+BEGIN_SRC clojure :results output :show-process t
165 If =:show-process= is specified that way, then when you will run the
166 code using =C-c C-c= a new window will open in Emacs. Everything that
167 is output by the REPL will immediately be added to that new window.
169 When the processing of the code is finished, then the window and its
170 buffer will be closed and the results will be reported in the
173 Note that the =:results= parameter's behavior is *not* changed. If
174 =silent= is specified, then no result will be displayed. If =output=
175 is specified then all the output from the window will appears in the
176 results section. If =value= is specified, then only the last returned
177 value of the code will be displayed in the results section.
179 **** Maxima: new headers ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~
180 Babel options ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~ have been implemented for
181 Maxima src blocks which prepend and append, respectively, the given
182 code strings. This can be useful for specifying formatting settings
183 which would add clutter to exported code. For instance, you can use
184 this ~:prologue "fpprintprec: 2; linel: 50;"~ for presenting Maxima
185 results in a beamer presentation.
186 **** PlantUML: add support for header arguments
188 [[http://plantuml.com/][Plantuml]] source blocks now support the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/prologue.html#prologue][~:prologue~]], [[http://orgmode.org/manual/epilogue.html#epilogue][~:epilogue~]] and
189 [[http://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] header arguments.
191 **** SQL: new engine added ~sqsh~
193 A new engine was added to support ~sqsh~ command line utility for use
194 against Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase SQL server.
196 More information on ~sqsh~ can be found here: [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/sqsh/][sourceforge/sqsh]]
198 To use ~sqsh~ in an *sql* =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
201 ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine sqsh :dbhost my_host :dbuser master :dbpassword pass :database support
207 **** SQL: new engine added =vertica=
209 A new engine was added to support vsql command line utility for use
212 More information on =vsql= can be found here: [[https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.2.x/HTML/index.htm#Authoring/ConnectingToHPVertica/vsql/UsingVsql.htm][my.vertica.com]]
214 To use =vertica= in an sql =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
217 ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine vertica :dbhost my_host :dbuser dbadmin :dbpassword pw :database vmart
222 *** New ~function~ scope argument for the Clock Table
223 Added a nullary function that returns a list of files as a possible
224 argument for the scope of the clock table.
226 **** Implement vernacular table of contents in Markdown exporter
227 Global table of contents are generated using vanilla Markdown syntax
228 instead of HTML. Also #+TOC keyword, including local table of
229 contents, are now supported.
230 **** Add Slovanian translations
231 **** Implement ~org-export-insert-image-links~
232 This new function is meant to be used in back-ends supporting images
233 as descriptions of links, a.k.a. image links. See its docstring for
235 **** New macro : ~{{{n}}}~
236 This macro creates and increment multiple counters in a document. See
238 **** Add global macros through ~org-export-global-macros~
239 With this variable, one can define macros available for all documents.
240 **** New keyword ~#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME~
241 Similarly to ~:EXPORT_FILE_NAME:~ property, this keyword allows the
242 user to specify the name of the output file upon exporting the
243 document. This also has an effect on publishing.
244 **** Horizontal rules are no longer ignored in LaTeX table math mode
245 **** Use ~compilation-mode~ for compilation output
246 **** Plain lists accept a new ~:separator~ attribute in Texinfo
248 The new ~:separator~ attribute splits a tag from a description list
249 item into multiple parts. This allows to have two-column tables with
250 multiple entries in the first column. See manual for more details.
252 **** ~latex-environment~ elements support ~caption~ keywords for LaTeX export
253 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit LaTeX environments
255 Using ~C-c '~ on a LaTeX environment opens a sub-editing buffer. By
256 default, major mode in that buffer is ~latex-mode~, but it can be
257 changed by configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~.
259 *** ~org-list-to-generic~ includes a new property: ~:ifmt~
261 ~:ifmt~ is a function to be called on the body of each item. See
262 ~org-list-to-generic~ documentation for details.
264 *** New variable : ~org-bibtex-headline-format-function~
265 This allow to use a different title than entry title.
267 *** ~org-attach~ supports attaching files from URLs
269 Using ~C-c C-a u~ prompts for a URL pointing to a file to be attached
272 *** New option for ~org-refile-use-outline-path~
273 ~org-refile-use-outline-path~ now supports the setting ~buffer-name~,
274 which causes refile targets to be prefixed with the buffer’s
275 name. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with
278 *** ~org-file-contents~ now allows the FILE argument to be a URL.
279 This allows ~#+SETUPFILE:~ to accept a URL instead of a local file
280 path. The URL contents are auto-downloaded and saved to a temporary
281 cache ~org--file-cache~. A new optional argument ~NOCACHE~ is added
282 to ~org-file-contents~.
284 *** ~org-mode-restart~ now resets the newly added ~org--file-cache~.
285 Using ~C-c C-c~ on any keyword (like ~#+SETUPFILE~) will reset the
288 *** New option : ~org-table-duration-hour-zero-padding~
289 This variable allow computed durations in tables to be zero-padded.
291 *** New mode switch for table formulas : =U=
292 This mode omits seconds in durations.
298 This feature has been removed. Use a custom agenda view, possibly
299 narrowed to current buffer to achieve a similar functionality.
301 *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
303 Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
305 *** ~org-agenda-skip-subtree-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
307 Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
309 *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches-in-subtree~ is obsolete
311 Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
313 *** ~org-minutes-to-clocksum-string~ is obsolete
315 Use ~org-duration-from-minutes~ instead.
317 *** ~org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
319 Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
321 *** ~org-duration-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
323 Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
325 *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-cached-article-number~ is removed.
327 This function relied on ~nnimap-group-overview-filename~, which was
328 removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
332 *** ~org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all~ is removed.
334 For an equivalent to a ~nil~ value, set
335 ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~ to nil and
336 ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~ to ~t~.
338 *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-query-article-no-from-file~ is removed.
340 This variable has no effect, as it was relying on a function that was
341 removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
343 *** ~org-usenet-links-prefer-google~ is obsolete.
345 Use ~org-gnus-prefer-web-links~ instead.
347 *** ~org-publish-sitemap-file-entry-format~ is deprecated
349 One can provide new ~:sitemap-format-entry~ property for a function
350 equivalent to the removed format string.
352 *** ~org-texinfo-def-table-markup~ is obsolete
354 Use ~org-texinfo-table-default-markup~ instead.
358 *** ~org-publish-find-property~
360 This function can be used as a tool to format entries in a site-map,
361 in addition to ~org-publish-find-title~ and ~org-publish-find-date~.
363 *** ~org-list-to-org~
365 It is the reciprocal of ~org-list-to-lisp~, which see.
367 *** ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
369 Call ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock~ from the agenda.
373 *** Allow multiple columns view
375 Columns view is not limited to a single buffer anymore.
377 *** Org Attach obeys ~dired-dwim-target~
379 When a Dired buffer is opened next to the Org document being edited,
380 the prompt for file to attach can start in the Dired buffer's
381 directory if `dired-dwim-target' in non-nil.
383 *** ~org-fill-paragraph~ can now fill a whole region
384 *** More specific anniversary descriptions
386 Anniversary descriptions (used in the agenda view, for instance)
387 include the point in time, when the anniversary appears. This is,
388 in its most general form, just the date of the anniversary. Or
389 more specific terms, like "today", "tomorrow" or "in n days" are
390 used to describe the time span.
392 This feature allows to automatically change the description of an
393 anniversary, depending on if it occurs in the next few days or
394 far away in the future.
396 *** Computed dates in tables appear as inactive time stamps
398 *** Save point before opening a file with an unknown search option
400 When following a file link with a search option (e.g., =::#custom-id=)
401 that doesn't exist in the target file, save positon before raising an
402 error. As a consequence, it is possible to jump back to the original
403 document with ~org-mark-ring-goto~ (default binding =C-c &=).
405 *** ~org-get-heading~ accepts two more optional arguments
407 See docstring for details.
409 *** ~tags-todo~ custom searches now include DONE keywords
410 ~tags-todo~ is now equivalent to ~C-c a m~ instead of ~C-c a M~ unless
411 you use "/!" markup when filtering TODO keywords.
412 *** New option ~org-babel-uppercase-example-markers~
414 This variable is a ~defcustom~ and replaces the variable
415 ~org-babel-capitalize-example-region-markers~, which is a ~defvar~ and
417 *** =INCLUDE= keywords in commented trees are now ignored.
418 *** Default value for ~org-texinfo-text-markup-alist~ changed.
420 Now ~=...=~ markup uses ~@samp{}~ instead of ~@verb{}~. You can use
421 ~@verb{}~ again by customizing the variable.
422 *** Texinfo exports example blocks as ~@example~
423 *** Texinfo exports inline src blocks as ~@code{}~
424 *** Texinfo default table markup is ~@asis~
425 It used to be ~@samp~ but ~@asis~ is neutral and, therefore, more
426 suitable as a default value.
427 *** Texinfo default process includes ~--no-split~ option
428 *** New entities : ~\dollar~ and ~\USD~
429 *** ~org-parse-time-string~ accepts a new optional argument
430 =ZONE= specifies the current time zone.
431 *** ~org-time-string-to-seconds~ now accepts an optional =ZONE= argument
432 *** Support for date style URLs in =org-protocol://open-source=
433 URLs like =https://cool-blog.com/2017/05/20/cool-post/= are
434 covered by rewrite rules.
438 ** Incompatible changes
440 *** Emacs 23 support has been dropped
442 From now on, Org expects at least Emacs 24.3, although Emacs 24.4 or
445 *** XEmacs support has been dropped
447 Incomplete compatibility layer with XEmacs has been removed. If you
448 want to take over maintenance of this compatibility, please contact
451 *** New syntax for export blocks
453 Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
454 disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
457 ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
470 As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
473 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
479 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
482 The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
483 using previous syntax:
485 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
486 (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
487 "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
489 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
490 (let ((case-fold-search t)
491 (back-end-re (regexp-opt
492 '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
493 "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
495 (org-with-wide-buffer
496 (goto-char (point-min))
497 (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
499 (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
500 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
501 (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
503 (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
504 (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
507 (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
508 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
510 (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
511 (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
512 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
513 (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
514 (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
515 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
518 Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~ and
519 ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to be
524 **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
526 Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
527 it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
528 constructs are now unsupported.
530 If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them into
533 **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
535 Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
536 something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
537 consider using the =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
539 In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
542 *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
544 The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
545 S-expressions. Replacing an S-expression with an appropriate function
546 is straightforward. For example
552 : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
554 *** The ~{{{modification-time}}}~ macro can get time via =vc=
556 The modification time will be determined via =vc.el= if the second
557 argument is non-nil. See the manual for details.
559 *** Preparation and completion functions in publishing projects change signature
561 Preparation and completion functions are now called with an argument,
562 which is the project property list. It used to be dynamically scoped
563 through the ~project-plist~ variable.
565 *** Old Babel header properties are no longer supported
567 Using header arguments as property names is no longer possible. As
579 should be written instead
584 :header-args: :exports code
585 :header-args: :var a=1 b=2
586 :header-args+: :var c=3
590 Please note that, however, old properties were defined at the source
591 block definition. Current ones are defined where the block is called.
595 *** ~org-eww~ has been moved into core
596 *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
598 Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
601 org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
602 org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
605 Old-style links such as
606 : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
607 continue to be supported.
609 If you have defined your own handler functions for
610 ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
611 list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
612 ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into property
615 *** New Org linter library
617 ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
619 *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
621 When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
622 entries are added to last in the date tree.
624 *** New ~vbar~ entity
626 ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionally as a =|=,
627 unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~|~ when using
628 a HTML derived export back-end.
632 **** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
634 PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
637 **** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
639 This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
640 a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
642 **** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
644 Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
645 string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
646 position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
649 **** New Texinfo ~options~ attribute on special blocks
651 Using ~:options~ as a Texinfo attribute, it is possible to add
652 information to custom environments. See manual for details.
654 **** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
656 If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
657 will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
658 enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
659 ~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
661 **** Listings with captions are now numbered in HTML export
663 The class associated to the numbering is "listing-number". If you
664 don't want these blocks to be numbered, as it was the case until now,
665 You may want to add ~.listing-number { display: none; }~ to the CSS
668 **** Line Numbering in SRC/EXAMPLE blocks support arbitrary start number
670 The ~-n~ option to ~SRC~ and ~EXAMPLE~ blocks can now take a numeric
671 argument to specify the staring line number for the source or example
672 block. The ~+n~ option can now take a numeric argument that will be
673 added to the last line number from the previous block as the starting
674 point for the SRC/EXAMPLE block.
677 ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp -n 20
678 ;; this will export with line number 20
679 (message "This is line 21")
681 ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp +n 10
682 ;; This will be listed as line 31
683 (message "This is line 32")
687 **** Allow toggling center for images in LaTeX export
689 With the global variable ~org-latex-images-centered~ or the local
690 attribute ~:center~ it is now possible to center an image in LaTeX
693 **** Default CSS class ~org-svg~ for SVG images in HTML export
695 SVG images exported in HTML are now by default assigned a CSS class
696 ~org-svg~ if no CSS class is specified with the ~:class~ attribute. By
697 default, the CSS styling of class ~org-svg~ specifies an image width of
698 90\thinsp{}% of the container the image.
700 **** Markdown footnote export customization
702 Variables ~org-md-footnotes-section~ and ~org-md-footnote-format~
703 introduced for =ox-md.el=. Both new variables define template strings
704 which can be used to customize the format of the exported footnotes
705 section and individual footnotes, respectively.
709 **** Blocks with coderefs labels can now be evaluated
711 The labels are removed prior to evaluating the block.
713 **** Support for Lua language
714 **** Support for SLY in Lisp blocks
716 See ~org-babel-lisp-eval-fn~ to activate it.
718 **** Support for Stan language
720 New ob-stan.el library.
722 Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
724 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
726 This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
727 allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
729 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
731 This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
732 ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
733 that does not end in ".stan".

738 **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
740 =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
741 database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
753 **** Improved support to Microsoft SQL Server via ~sqlcmd~
755 =ob-sql= library removes support to the ~msosql~ engine which uses the
756 deprecated ~osql~ command line tool, and replaces it with ~mssql~
757 engine which uses the ~sqlcmd~ command line tool. Use with properties
768 If you want to use the *trusted connection* feature, omit *both* the
769 =dbuser= and =dbpassword= properties and add =cmdline -E= to the properties.
771 If your Emacs is running in a Cygwin environment, the =ob-sql= library
772 can pass the converted path to the =sqlcmd= tool.
774 **** Improved support of header arguments for postgresql
776 The postgresql engine in a sql code block supports now ~:dbport~ nd
777 ~:dbpassword~ as header arguments.
779 **** Support for additional plantuml output formats
781 The support for output formats of [[http://plantuml.com/][plantuml]] has been extended to now
791 - utxt :: ASCII art using unicode characters
800 The output formats are determined by the file extension specified
801 using the :file property, e.g.:
803 #+begin_src plantuml :file diagram.png
805 Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
806 Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
808 Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
809 Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
813 Please note that *pdf* *does not work out of the box* and needs additional
814 setup in addition to plantuml. See [[http://plantuml.com/pdf.html]] for
815 details and setup information.
817 *** Rewrite of radio lists
819 Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
820 rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
821 parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
824 *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
826 Used like ~org-bbdb-anniversaries~, it provides a few days warning for
827 upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
829 *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
831 If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
832 information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
834 See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
836 *** Support for ISO week trees
838 ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
839 by ISO week and not by month.
846 : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
848 They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
849 ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
851 *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
853 When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
854 an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
856 On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
860 **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
862 When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
863 buffer unconditionally.
865 **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
867 The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
869 **** Allow custom summaries
871 It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
872 provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
874 **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
876 Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
879 *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
880 *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
882 When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
885 *** Allow conditional case-fold searches in ~org-occur~
887 When set to ~smart~, the new variable ~org-occur-case-fold-search~ allows
888 to mimic =isearch.el=: if the regexp searched contains any upper case
889 character (or character class), the search is case sensitive.
890 Otherwise, it is case insensitive.
892 *** More robust repeated =ox-latex= footnote handling
894 Repeated footnotes are now numbered by referring to a label in the
897 *** The ~org-block~ face is inherited by ~src-blocks~
899 This works also when =org-src-fontify-natively= is non-nil. It is also
900 possible to specify per-languages faces. See =org-src-block-faces= and
901 the manual for details.
903 *** Links are now customizable
905 Links can now have custom colors, tooltips, keymaps, display behavior,
906 etc. Links are now centralized in ~org-link-parameters~.
910 *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
912 It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
914 *** ~org-show-children~
916 It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
920 *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
922 Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
924 *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
926 Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
928 *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
930 Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
932 *** ~org-babel-trim~ is deprecated.
934 Use ~org-trim~ instead.
936 *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
938 Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
940 *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
942 Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
943 The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
945 *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
947 Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
949 *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
951 A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
952 now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
954 *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
956 Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
958 *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
960 It was not called by any org code since 2010.
962 *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
964 The affected functions are:
967 - ~org-remove-if-not~
972 Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
973 the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
974 end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
978 *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
980 This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
981 Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
982 let those libraries operate.
984 *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
986 Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
989 *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
991 fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
994 *** Add Icelandic smart quotes
995 *** Allow multiple receiver locations in radio tables and lists
996 *** Allow angular links within link descriptions
998 It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
999 ~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
1000 ~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
1001 is that spaces are allowed within the path.
1003 *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
1004 *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
1006 Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
1007 current project. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
1010 *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
1012 The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
1015 *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
1017 Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
1018 However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
1019 the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
1020 placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
1021 very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
1023 Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
1024 template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
1025 expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
1026 another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
1028 *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
1030 Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
1031 to the article's original group.
1033 *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
1035 The calling convention has changed.
1037 *** HTML export table row customization changes
1039 Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
1040 ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
1041 Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
1042 called with 6 parameters.
1044 *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
1045 *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
1047 The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
1049 *** ~org-trim~ can preserve leading indentation.
1051 When setting a new optional argument to a non-nil value, ~org-trim~
1052 preserves leading indentation while removing blank lines at the
1053 beginning of the string. The behavior is identical for white space at
1054 the end of the string.
1056 *** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
1058 HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
1059 than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
1060 Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
1062 : <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
1064 where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
1065 For most folks this file does not exist.
1066 Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
1068 : <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
1070 All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other
1073 *** Repeaters with a ~++~ interval and a time can be shifted to later today
1075 Previously, if a recurring task had a timestamp of
1076 ~<2016-01-01 Fri 20:00 ++1d>~ and was completed on =2016-01-02= at
1077 =08:00=, the task would skip =2016-01-02= and would be rescheduled for
1078 =2016-01-03=. Timestamps with ~++~ cookies and a specific time will
1079 now shift to the first possible future occurrence, even if the
1080 occurrence is later the same day the task is completed. (Timestamps
1081 already in the future are still shifted one time further into the
1084 *** ~org-mobile-action-alist~ is now a defconst
1086 It used to be a defcustom, with a warning that it shouldn't be
1089 *** ~file+emacs~ and ~file+sys~ link types are deprecated
1091 They are still supported in Org 9.0 but will eventually be removed in
1092 a later release. Use ~file~ link type along with universal arguments
1093 to force opening it in either Emacs or with system application.
1095 *** New defcustom ~org-babel-J-command~ stores the j command
1096 *** New defalias ~org-babel-execute:j~
1098 Allows J source blocks be indicated by letter j. Previously the
1099 indication letter was solely J.
1101 *** ~org-open-line~ ignores tables at the very beginning of the buffer
1103 When ~org-special-ctrl-o~ is non-nil, it is impractical to create
1104 a blank line above a table at the beginning of the document. Now, as
1105 a special case, ~org-open-line~ behaves normally in this situation.
1107 *** ~org-babel-hash-show-time~ is now customizable
1109 The experimental variable used to be more or less confidential, as
1112 *** New ~:format~ property to parsed links
1114 It defines the format of the original link. Possible values are:
1115 ~plain~, ~bracket~ and ~angle~.
1119 ** Incompatible changes
1121 *** Properties drawers syntax changes
1123 Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
1124 headline and its planning line, when applicable.
1126 It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
1127 logged before the property drawer.
1129 The following function will repair them:
1131 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1132 (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
1133 "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
1134 Ignore non Org buffers."
1135 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
1136 (org-with-wide-buffer
1137 (goto-char (point-min))
1138 (let ((case-fold-search t)
1139 (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
1140 (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
1144 (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
1146 (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
1148 (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
1149 (when (and (< (point) end)
1150 (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
1152 (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
1153 (eq (org-element-type
1154 (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
1156 (insert (delete-and-extract-region
1158 (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
1159 (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
1162 *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
1164 If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
1165 exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
1166 is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
1167 into account when exporting.
1169 If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
1170 for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
1172 *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
1174 It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
1175 the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
1178 =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
1179 properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
1184 :CATEGORY: some category
1188 *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
1190 ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
1191 and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
1192 controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
1195 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
1197 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
1198 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
1200 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
1201 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
1203 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
1205 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
1206 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
1208 *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
1210 The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
1211 ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~
1212 respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
1213 functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
1214 (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
1216 *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
1218 ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
1219 =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
1221 *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
1223 If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
1224 org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
1225 org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
1227 *** Functions signature changes
1229 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
1230 docstring for more information.
1232 - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
1233 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
1234 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
1235 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
1236 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
1241 *** Default lexical evaluation of emacs-lisp src blocks
1243 Emacs-lisp src blocks in babel are now evaluated using lexical
1244 scoping. There is a new header to control this behavior.
1246 The default results in an eval with lexical scoping.
1249 This turns lexical scoping off in the eval (the former behavior).
1252 This uses the lexical environment with x=42 in the eval.
1253 :lexical '((x . 42))
1255 *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
1257 If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
1258 without changing the headline.
1260 *** Hierarchies of tags
1262 The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
1263 This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
1264 in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
1266 The following in-buffer definition:
1269 ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
1270 ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
1271 ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
1274 Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
1284 Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
1285 on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
1287 There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
1289 *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
1291 Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
1292 don't have to be distinct on a heading.
1294 Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
1295 already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
1296 non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: { }
1297 can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the given
1298 tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
1300 [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
1306 This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
1309 *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
1311 Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
1314 The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
1317 : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
1319 Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
1320 regular expression matches for P@.+. This is good for example for
1321 projects tagged with a common identifier, i.e. P@2014_OrgTags.
1323 *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
1325 Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filters all of the related tags.
1326 Except if a filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
1328 Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
1331 If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
1332 is also used as a filter.
1334 *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
1336 Now uses the argument ARG and optional argument exclude instead of
1337 strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
1338 makes more sense than strip now. The term "narrowing" is changed to
1341 The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
1342 filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
1344 *** Babel: support for sed scripts
1346 Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
1348 *** Babel: support for Processing language
1350 New ob-processing.el library.
1352 This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
1353 of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
1354 external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
1356 Check the documentation for more details.
1358 Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
1360 *** New behaviour for ~org-toggle-latex-fragment~
1362 The new behaviour is the following:
1364 - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument when
1365 point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the whole
1368 - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
1371 - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
1373 - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
1375 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
1377 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
1378 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
1380 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
1382 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
1383 possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
1386 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
1388 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
1389 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
1390 ~org-drawers~ variable.
1392 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
1394 Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
1395 mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
1396 "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
1397 configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
1399 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
1401 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
1402 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
1403 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
1406 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
1408 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch in
1411 *** New option in ASCII export
1413 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting ~org-ascii-list-margin~
1414 variable to an appropriate integer.
1416 *** New blocks in ASCII export
1418 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT=
1419 blocks. See documentation for details.
1421 *** More back-end specific publishing options
1423 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
1424 increased. See manual for details.
1426 *** Export inline source blocks
1428 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
1429 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
1430 in the output, depending on the parameters.
1432 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
1434 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
1436 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
1438 *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
1440 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
1442 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
1443 more features. See docstring for details.
1445 *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
1447 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
1449 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
1450 document, before wrapping it within the template.
1452 *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
1454 : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
1456 : This sentence is false.
1459 will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
1461 *** Various improvements on radio tables
1463 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
1464 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
1465 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are new
1466 parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
1467 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
1468 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
1470 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
1472 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction
1473 with source blocks exported by the minted package.
1475 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
1477 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
1478 would throw an error. A new variable ~org-table-formula-create-columns~
1479 was added to adjust this behavior. It is now possible to silently add
1480 new columns, to do so with a warning or to explicitly ask the user
1485 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
1488 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
1490 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
1491 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
1493 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
1495 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
1497 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
1499 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is now
1500 deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
1501 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
1503 *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
1505 See the docstring for more information.
1507 *** Export unnumbered headlines
1509 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
1510 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
1511 property is inherited by children.
1513 *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
1515 It is now possible to specify a function, both programmatically,
1516 through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~ keys,
1519 *** Table of contents can be local to a section
1521 The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See manual
1524 *** Countdown timers can now be paused
1526 ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
1529 *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
1531 When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
1532 displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
1534 *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
1536 It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
1537 ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
1539 *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
1541 It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
1542 ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
1545 *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
1547 It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
1548 title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
1550 *** New entities family: "\_ "
1552 "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
1553 back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
1554 leading spaces within table cells.
1556 *** New MathJax configuration options
1558 Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
1559 of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
1561 *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
1563 When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
1564 `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
1565 `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
1567 However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
1568 =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
1569 value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
1570 keywords and properties.
1572 *** Viewport support in html export
1574 Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
1575 when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
1577 *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
1579 Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
1582 *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
1584 Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
1585 allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in a
1586 dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
1588 *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
1590 Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
1591 added to headline text.
1593 *** Support for images in Texinfo export
1595 ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See the manual for details.
1597 *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
1599 Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
1600 of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
1603 *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
1605 In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
1606 set using the hh:mm:ss format.
1608 *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
1610 ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for the
1611 number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original subtree
1612 and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
1614 *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
1616 It encompasses all past closed clocks.
1618 *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
1620 See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
1621 ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
1623 *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
1625 *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
1627 ** Removed functions
1629 *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
1631 Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
1633 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
1635 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
1636 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
1637 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
1638 accessible from the export dispatcher.
1640 *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
1642 ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
1644 *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
1646 This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
1647 references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
1649 *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
1651 The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
1654 *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
1656 These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
1657 anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
1661 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
1663 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
1666 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
1667 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
1669 *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
1671 Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
1672 body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
1675 *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
1677 Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
1678 everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
1680 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
1682 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name= at
1683 the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the value
1684 of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=. To chose
1685 a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind this
1688 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
1690 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
1691 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
1692 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
1693 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
1694 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
1696 *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
1698 Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
1699 would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
1702 *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
1704 Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
1706 *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
1708 This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
1710 *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
1712 This variable has no effect since August 2009.
1714 *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
1716 MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
1717 end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
1718 ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
1719 ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
1721 *** Removed comment-related filters
1723 ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
1724 ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
1729 *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
1731 ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
1733 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
1735 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
1736 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
1738 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
1740 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
1741 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
1744 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
1746 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
1747 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
1749 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
1751 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
1753 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
1755 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
1756 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
1757 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
1758 particular test failure was introduced.
1760 *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
1762 Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
1763 the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as well
1764 as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~ when
1765 ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
1767 *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
1769 New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
1770 Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
1772 *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
1774 If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
1775 ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~ now.
1777 *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
1779 This helps spotting wrong links.
1783 ** Incompatible changes
1784 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
1785 This may require two changes in user config.
1787 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
1788 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
1789 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
1791 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
1793 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
1794 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
1795 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
1797 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
1798 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
1800 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
1804 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
1806 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
1808 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
1809 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
1810 option keywords like :html-include-style.
1812 So you need to replace
1814 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
1818 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
1820 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
1821 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
1823 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
1825 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
1826 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
1827 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
1829 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
1830 the other optional arguments accordingly.
1832 *** Export back-ends are now structures
1834 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
1835 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
1836 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
1839 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
1841 ** Important bugfixes
1843 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
1844 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
1846 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
1848 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
1849 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
1850 separator starting a TOTO match string.
1853 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
1855 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
1857 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
1859 - Support SVG images
1860 - Support for .pgf files
1861 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
1862 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
1863 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
1864 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
1865 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
1866 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
1867 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
1869 *** New functions for paragraph motion
1871 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
1872 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
1873 in a paragraph-like way.
1875 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1877 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
1878 dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
1879 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
1880 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
1881 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
1883 *** Anonymous export back-ends
1885 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
1886 which can then be passed to export functions like
1887 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
1889 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
1890 registering a new back-end.
1892 *** New agenda fortnight view
1894 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
1895 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
1898 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
1900 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
1901 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
1903 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
1904 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
1905 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
1907 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
1908 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
1910 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
1911 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
1912 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
1913 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
1914 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
1917 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
1919 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
1921 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
1923 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
1925 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
1927 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
1929 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
1931 If you set this to the following
1933 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
1935 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
1937 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
1939 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
1941 ** New contributed packages
1943 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
1944 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
1947 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
1948 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
1952 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
1954 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
1955 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
1956 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
1957 the same with example blocks.
1959 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
1966 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
1968 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
1971 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
1972 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
1973 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
1975 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
1976 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
1977 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
1978 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
1979 detailed explanations.
1981 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
1982 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
1983 function has been called already.
1985 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
1988 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
1990 ** Incompatible changes
1992 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
1994 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
1996 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
1997 you will have to update them.
1999 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
2001 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
2002 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
2004 **** New export engine
2006 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
2007 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
2008 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
2009 /all/ export back-ends.
2011 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
2012 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
2013 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
2014 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
2015 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
2017 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
2018 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
2020 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
2021 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
2022 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
2023 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
2025 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
2027 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
2029 should now be written
2031 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
2033 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
2034 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
2035 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
2037 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
2039 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
2041 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
2044 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
2045 remember templates into capture templates.
2047 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
2049 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
2050 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
2052 **** Note for third-party developers
2054 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
2055 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
2056 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
2058 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
2061 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
2063 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
2064 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
2065 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
2067 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
2068 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
2069 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
2072 - org-colview-xemacs.el
2073 - org-mac-message.el
2079 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
2080 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
2081 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
2083 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
2084 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
2086 ** New packages in core
2088 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
2090 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
2092 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
2094 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
2096 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
2098 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
2099 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
2101 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
2103 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
2105 ** New packages in contrib
2107 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
2109 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
2111 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
2114 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
2116 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
2117 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
2119 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
2122 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
2124 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
2126 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
2128 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
2130 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
2131 for starting headlines.
2133 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
2135 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
2136 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at

2140 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
2142 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
2144 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
2146 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
2147 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
2150 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
2151 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
2154 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
2156 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
2157 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
2160 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
2161 conversion from Org files to groff.
2163 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
2165 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
2167 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
2169 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
2170 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
2177 **** New export generic options
2179 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
2180 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
2182 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
2184 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
2185 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
2186 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
2187 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
2189 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
2190 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
2191 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
2192 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
2193 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
2194 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
2195 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
2196 contains time-stamps.
2198 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
2199 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
2200 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
2202 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
2204 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
2206 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
2208 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
2210 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
2211 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
2212 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
2213 *** Structure editing
2215 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
2216 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
2218 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
2219 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
2221 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
2223 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
2224 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
2225 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
2226 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
2229 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
2231 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
2232 _words__= will preserve markup.
2234 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
2236 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
2237 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
2238 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
2240 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
2242 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
2243 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
2245 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
2247 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
2248 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
2249 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
2250 forward and backward.
2252 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
2253 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
2255 Now Org will sort this list
2257 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
2258 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
2262 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
2263 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
2265 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
2266 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
2267 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
2269 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
2270 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
2271 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
2273 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
2276 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
2278 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
2279 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
2280 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
2282 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
2284 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
2285 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
2286 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
2287 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
2289 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
2291 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
2292 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
2293 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
2294 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
2295 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
2297 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
2299 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
2300 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
2301 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
2303 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
2304 *** Scheduled/deadline
2306 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
2308 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
2309 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
2310 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
2311 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
2313 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
2314 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
2315 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
2316 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
2318 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
2319 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
2320 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
2321 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
2322 control this globally or per agenda.
2324 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
2326 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
2328 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
2330 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
2331 *** Calendar, diary and appts
2333 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
2335 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
2336 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
2337 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
2339 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2340 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
2341 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
2343 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
2344 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
2346 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
2349 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
2351 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
2352 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
2353 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
2355 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
2357 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
2358 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
2359 only show their description, not the full links.
2362 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
2364 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
2365 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
2366 want to build a list of appointments.
2368 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
2369 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
2371 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
2373 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
2375 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
2376 time value (i.e. appointments).
2378 **** New agenda sorting strategies
2380 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
2382 | Strategy | Explanations |
2383 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
2384 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
2385 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
2386 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
2387 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
2388 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
2389 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
2390 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
2391 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
2392 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
2393 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
2395 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
2397 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
2398 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
2399 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
2401 These new options are available:
2403 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
2404 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
2405 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
2406 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
2408 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
2409 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
2410 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
2412 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
2413 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
2414 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
2415 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
2416 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
2417 non-tagged headlines.
2419 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
2421 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
2422 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
2423 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
2424 that take only =N= minutes.
2426 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
2428 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
2429 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
2430 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
2432 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
2434 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
2435 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
2437 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
2439 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
2440 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
2442 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
2445 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
2447 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
2448 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
2449 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
2451 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
2452 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
2454 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
2456 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
2457 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
2459 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
2461 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
2463 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
2464 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
2467 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
2469 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
2470 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
2471 asks for a confirmation.
2473 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
2475 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
2476 the mark of the entry at point.
2478 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
2479 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
2481 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
2483 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
2484 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
2487 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
2489 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
2490 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
2492 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
2494 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
2495 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
2497 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
2499 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
2500 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
2501 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
2502 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
2504 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
2506 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
2507 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
2508 repeated beyond the current deadline.
2510 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
2512 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
2513 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
2514 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
2515 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
2517 Read the full docstring for details.
2519 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
2521 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
2524 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
2527 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
2529 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
2530 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
2533 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
2535 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
2536 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
2538 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
2540 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
2541 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
2542 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
2543 check against the name of the buffer.
2546 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
2547 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
2548 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
2551 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
2552 agenda views, and for filtering.
2554 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
2558 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
2560 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
2561 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
2562 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
2564 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
2565 as if the protocol was not known.
2567 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
2569 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
2571 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
2572 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
2573 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
2576 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
2578 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
2579 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
2580 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
2582 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
2584 When storing a link to a headline like
2586 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
2588 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
2589 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
2590 there is no description.
2593 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
2595 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
2596 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
2597 those other formulas.
2599 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
2601 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
2602 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
2603 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
2606 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
2608 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
2609 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
2610 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
2613 **** New lookup functions
2615 There are now three lookup functions:
2617 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
2618 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
2619 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
2621 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
2622 *** Startup keywords
2624 These new startup keywords are now available:
2626 | Startup keyword | Option |
2627 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
2628 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
2629 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
2630 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
2631 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
2632 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
2633 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
2634 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
2635 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
2639 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
2641 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
2642 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
2643 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
2644 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
2646 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
2648 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
2649 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
2650 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
2653 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
2654 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
2656 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
2658 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
2659 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
2661 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
2663 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
2664 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
2665 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
2667 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
2668 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
2669 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
2670 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
2671 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
2672 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
2673 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
2676 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
2678 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
2680 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
2682 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
2683 same target than the block at point.
2685 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
2687 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
2688 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
2689 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
2691 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
2692 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
2695 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
2697 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
2698 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
2699 manual for a usage example.
2701 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
2703 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
2704 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
2705 collecting blocks for tangling.
2707 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
2708 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
2710 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
2711 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
2712 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
2713 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
2715 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
2716 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.

2748 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
2750 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
2752 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
2754 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
2756 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
2757 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
2758 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
2759 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
2760 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
2761 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
2762 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
2763 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
2765 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
2767 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
2768 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
2770 *** MobileOrg for iOS
2772 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
2773 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
2774 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
2778 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
2780 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
2781 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
2784 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
2785 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
2786 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
2787 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
2788 agenda type to this variable.
2790 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
2793 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
2794 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
2795 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
2796 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
2798 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
2800 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
2801 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
2802 invisible) blocked tasks.
2804 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
2806 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
2807 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
2809 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
2811 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
2812 ** No GPL manual anymore
2814 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
2815 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
2817 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
2819 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
2821 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
2822 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
2823 in most environments.
2827 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
2829 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
2831 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2832 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
2835 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
2836 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
2837 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
2840 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/

2860 ** New package and Babel language
2862 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
2864 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
2866 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
2867 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
2869 ** Incompatible changes
2871 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
2872 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
2874 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
2877 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
2878 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
2879 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
2881 ** New features and user-visible changes
2885 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
2886 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
2887 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
2888 core and many core functions rely on this package.
2890 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
2891 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
2893 See the docstrings for more details.
2895 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
2896 on =org-element.el=.
2898 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
2900 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
2901 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
2902 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
2903 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
2905 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
2907 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
2908 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
2909 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
2910 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
2912 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
2914 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
2916 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
2918 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
2921 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
2922 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
2924 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
2925 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
2926 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
2929 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
2932 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
2933 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
2934 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
2936 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
2937 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
2938 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
2943 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
2945 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
2946 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
2947 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
2948 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
2950 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
2951 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
2952 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
2953 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
2954 generating new ones.
2956 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
2959 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
2961 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
2962 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
2965 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2966 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
2967 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
2970 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
2971 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
2972 details on how to use this.
2974 **** Changes in bulk actions
2976 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
2977 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
2979 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
2980 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
2981 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
2982 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
2983 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
2985 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
2986 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
2988 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
2989 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
2992 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
2994 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
2996 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
2998 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
2999 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
3001 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
3003 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
3004 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
3005 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
3006 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
3009 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
3011 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
3014 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
3015 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
3016 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
3017 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
3018 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
3021 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
3023 See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
3025 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
3027 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
3028 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
3029 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
3030 filters and category filters.
3032 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
3033 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
3036 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
3037 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
3038 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
3043 **** Inserting links
3045 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
3046 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
3047 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
3050 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
3051 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
3052 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
3053 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
3055 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
3058 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
3060 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
3061 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
3062 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
3063 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
3065 **** New link type =help=
3067 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
3069 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
3070 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
3071 you go back to the same buffer.
3073 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
3075 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
3076 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
3079 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
3081 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
3083 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
3085 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
3087 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
3089 **** RET now follows time stamps links
3093 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
3095 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
3096 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
3097 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
3098 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
3100 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
3102 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
3103 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
3104 all headlines in the region.
3106 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
3108 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
3110 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
3111 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
3113 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
3115 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
3117 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
3119 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
3121 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
3123 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
3124 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
3125 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
3130 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
3132 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
3134 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
3136 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
3137 clocked entry, if any.
3139 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
3141 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
3143 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
3145 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
3146 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
3149 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
3150 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
3151 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
3155 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
3157 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
3160 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
3162 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
3163 cells in clockreport.
3165 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
3166 time cells in clockreport.
3169 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
3171 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
3172 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
3174 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
3175 in the mode line and/or frame title.
3177 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
3178 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
3179 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
3180 space in the frame title.
3184 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
3186 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
3187 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
3188 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
3189 don't want to see temporarily.
3191 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
3193 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
3195 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
3197 There are these new entities:
3199 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
3200 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
3201 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
3202 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
3203 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
3204 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
3206 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
3207 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
3208 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
3210 The face is back to a normal height.
3214 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
3215 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
3217 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
3218 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
3220 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
3222 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
3223 block will use its value as the column format.
3225 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
3227 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
3229 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
3231 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
3233 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
3234 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
3235 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
3236 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
3238 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
3242 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
3244 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
3246 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
3248 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
3250 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
3251 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
3252 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
3254 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
3256 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
3257 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
3258 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
3262 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
3264 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
3265 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
3266 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
3267 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
3269 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
3271 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
3272 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
3275 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
3276 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
3277 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
3280 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
3281 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
3282 more details on how to use this.
3284 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
3285 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
3287 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
3288 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
3291 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
3293 See the manual for more explanations.
3295 **** More control over empty lines
3297 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
3298 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
3301 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
3303 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
3307 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
3309 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
3310 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
3311 available) to print beautiful tables.
3313 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
3315 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
3316 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
3319 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
3321 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
3322 in the #+DATE option.
3324 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
3326 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
3328 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
3329 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
3331 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
3332 More languages are always welcome.
3334 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
3336 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
3337 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
3339 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
3340 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
3341 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
3342 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
3343 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
3344 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
3346 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
3347 to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
3351 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
3353 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
3356 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
3358 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
3359 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
3361 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
3363 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
3365 It used to exports the results of the code.
3369 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
3370 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
3372 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
3373 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
3375 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
3377 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
3378 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
3379 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
3381 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
3382 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
3384 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
3385 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
3386 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
3389 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
3391 This will increment the effort value.
3393 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
3395 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
3397 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
3398 attach symbolic links.
3400 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
3402 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
3404 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
3405 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
3407 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
3409 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
3411 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
3412 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
3413 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
3415 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
3417 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
3418 all top level list items.
3420 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
3422 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
3424 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
3425 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
3427 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
3429 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
3431 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
3432 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
3433 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
3434 first headline in the region.
3436 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
3438 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
3441 ** Important bug fixes
3443 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
3445 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
3446 perform completion with meaningful values.
3448 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
3450 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
3451 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
3452 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
3454 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
3455 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
3457 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
3458 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
3461 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
3462 the code and the license to your needs.
3464 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
3465 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
3469 ** Incompatible changes
3471 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
3473 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
3475 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
3477 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
3478 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
3479 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
3480 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
3483 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
3485 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
3486 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
3487 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
3489 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
3491 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
3492 =org-agenda-span= instead.
3494 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
3496 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
3498 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
3499 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
3500 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
3501 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
3502 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
3504 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
3505 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
3506 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
3507 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
3508 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
3509 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
3511 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
3512 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
3513 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
3516 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
3519 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
3520 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
3521 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
3522 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
3524 The two new variables are:
3526 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
3527 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
3528 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
3529 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
3530 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
3531 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
3532 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
3534 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
3535 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
3538 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
3541 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
3542 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
3543 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
3544 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
3546 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
3547 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
3548 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
3549 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
3552 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
3553 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
3554 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
3555 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
3556 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
3557 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
3560 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
3561 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
3562 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
3563 applies to the following packages:
3581 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
3582 you are using, you can remove it from
3583 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
3584 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
3587 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
3588 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
3589 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
3590 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
3591 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
3594 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
3596 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
3597 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
3598 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
3601 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
3603 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
3605 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
3607 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
3609 ** Important new features
3611 *** New Org to ODT exporter
3613 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
3615 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
3616 for more information on how to customize it.
3618 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
3620 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
3621 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
3622 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
3623 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
3625 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
3626 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
3627 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
3629 To switch over to the new system:
3633 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
3635 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
3636 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
3637 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
3638 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
3639 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
3641 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
3643 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
3646 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
3649 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
3651 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
3652 you have decided to move over completely to the new
3653 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
3654 with using both system in parallel.
3658 *** New Org libraries
3659 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
3661 Implement links to eshell buffers.
3663 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
3665 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
3667 To use, put the following in your init file:
3670 (require 'org-special-blocks)
3673 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
3674 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
3675 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
3676 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
3677 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
3678 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
3679 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
3680 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
3681 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
3684 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
3686 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
3687 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
3689 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
3691 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
3692 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
3693 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
3696 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
3697 call function to do something special with text links.
3699 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
3701 **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
3703 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
3704 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
3705 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
3708 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
3710 Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
3712 *** New Babel libraries
3714 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
3715 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
3716 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
3717 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
3718 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
3719 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
3720 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
3722 ** Other new features and various enhancements
3726 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
3728 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
3729 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
3730 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
3731 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
3732 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
3733 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
3735 The key new functions are
3737 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
3738 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
3739 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
3741 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
3742 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
3744 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
3745 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
3747 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
3748 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
3750 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
3752 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
3753 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
3754 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
3756 **** Modified link escaping
3758 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
3760 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
3761 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
3762 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
3763 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
3766 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
3767 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
3768 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
3769 : percent escaped links are solved.
3771 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
3773 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
3775 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
3776 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
3778 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
3780 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
3782 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
3783 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
3784 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
3785 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
3786 string to be executed.
3788 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
3789 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
3793 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
3794 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
3797 Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
3801 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
3803 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
3804 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
3805 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
3806 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
3808 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
3809 will work on the current entry.
3811 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
3812 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
3814 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
3816 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
3818 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
3821 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
3822 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
3827 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
3829 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
3830 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
3831 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
3833 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
3835 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
3836 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
3837 entries using a function.
3839 Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
3840 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
3841 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
3843 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
3845 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
3846 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
3847 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
3849 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
3851 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
3852 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
3853 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
3854 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
3855 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
3856 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
3858 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
3862 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
3864 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
3865 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
3867 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
3868 docstring of these variable for details about available
3871 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
3872 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
3873 formatting string will insert a string.
3875 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
3877 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
3878 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
3879 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
3880 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
3881 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
3882 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
3883 C-e u=, respectively.
3885 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
3886 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
3887 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
3888 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
3889 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
3892 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
3894 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
3895 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
3897 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
3899 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
3900 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
3902 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
3904 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
3905 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
3906 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
3907 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
3908 section]] in the manual for more details.
3910 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
3911 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
3912 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
3917 **** Refile targets can now be cached
3919 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
3920 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
3921 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
3922 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
3923 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
3925 **** New logging support for refiling
3927 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
3928 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
3931 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
3935 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
3937 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
3941 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
3943 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
3944 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
3946 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
3948 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
3949 the displayed in the buffer.
3951 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
3953 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
3955 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
3956 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
3958 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
3959 |--------+--------+---------|
3960 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
3961 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
3963 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
3966 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
3969 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
3971 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
3973 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
3974 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
3981 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
3982 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
3985 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
3987 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
3989 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
3990 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
3992 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
3996 **** Improved handling of lists
3998 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
4000 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
4001 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
4002 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
4005 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
4006 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
4007 counters like [@c] or [@W].
4009 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
4010 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
4011 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
4012 `org-list-export-context'.
4014 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
4015 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
4016 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
4018 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
4019 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
4020 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
4021 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
4022 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
4024 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
4025 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
4026 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
4028 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
4030 *** Inline display of linked images
4032 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
4033 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
4034 that have no description part will be inlined.
4036 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
4038 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
4039 from 1, you can now do it like this:
4041 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
4043 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
4045 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
4046 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
4047 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
4048 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
4049 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
4050 into account all header arguments, and variables.
4052 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
4053 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
4054 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
4057 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
4058 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
4059 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
4060 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
4061 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
4062 properties or in tables.
4064 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
4065 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
4066 names, and rownames across all languages.
4068 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
4070 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
4072 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
4073 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
4074 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
4076 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
4078 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
4079 request by Scott Otterson.
4081 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
4083 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
4084 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
4085 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
4086 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
4087 superscripts, see the variable
4088 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
4090 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
4092 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
4094 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
4095 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
4096 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
4097 following new faces:
4099 =org-document-title=
4101 =org-document-info-keyword=
4103 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
4104 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
4106 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
4108 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
4110 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
4111 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
4112 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
4113 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
4114 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
4115 property is affected by this setting.
4117 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
4118 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
4120 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
4122 Requested by Michael Brand.
4124 **** Better level cycling function
4126 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
4127 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
4128 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
4129 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
4131 **** Adaptive filling
4133 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
4134 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
4135 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
4136 comments to be filled correctly.
4138 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
4140 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
4142 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
4144 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
4146 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
4147 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
4149 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
4153 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
4155 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
4156 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
4157 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
4158 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
4160 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
4162 **** Localized clock tables
4164 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
4165 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
4166 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
4167 available translated strings.
4169 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
4171 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
4172 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
4173 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
4174 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
4176 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
4178 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
4180 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
4181 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
4182 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
4183 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
4186 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
4190 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
4192 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
4193 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
4195 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
4197 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
4199 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
4200 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
4201 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
4204 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
4207 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
4209 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
4210 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
4215 org-table-current-line
4219 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
4221 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
4222 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
4225 This was requested by Tom.
4227 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
4229 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
4230 example by viewing from the agenda.
4232 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
