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
96 *** ~tags-todo~ custom searches now include DONE keywords
98 Use "/!" markup when filtering TODO keywords to get only not-done TODO
102 *** ~org-attach~ can move directory contents
103 When setting a new directory for an entry, org-attach offers to move
104 files over from the old directory. Using a prefix arg will reset the
105 directory to old, ID based one.
107 *** New Org duration library
108 This new library implements tools to read and print time durations in
109 various formats (e.g., "H:MM", or "1d 2h 3min"...).
111 See ~org-duration-to-minutes~ and ~org-duration-from-minutes~
115 **** New variable : ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~
116 **** New variable : ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~
117 **** New variable : ~org-deadline-past-days~
118 See docstring for details.
119 **** Binding C-c C-x < for ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
120 **** New auto-align default setting for =org-agenda-tags-column=
122 =org-agenda-tags-column= can now be set to =auto=, which will
123 automatically align tags to the right edge of the window. This is now
126 *** New value for ~org-publish-sitemap-sort-folders~
128 The new ~ignore~ value effectively allows toggling inclusion of
129 directories in published site-maps.
133 **** Scheme: support for tables
134 **** Scheme: new variable: ~org-babel-scheme-null-to~
136 This new custom option allows to use a empty list or null symbol to
137 format the table output, initially assigned to ~hlines~.
139 **** Scheme: new header ~:prologue~
141 A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
142 developers to prepend code to the scheme block being processed.
144 Multiple ~:prologue~ headers can be added each of them using a string
145 with the content to be added.
147 The scheme blocks are prepared by surronding the code in the block
148 with a let form. The content of the ~:prologue~ headers are prepended
149 before this let form.
151 **** Support for hledger accounting reports added
152 **** Clojure: new setting ~org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout~
154 Creation of a new setting to specify the Cider timeout. By setting
155 the =org-babel-clojure-sync-nrepl-timeout= setting option. The value
156 is in seconds and if set to =nil= then no timeout will occur.
157 **** Clojure: new header ~:show-process~
159 A new block code header has been created for Org Babel that enables
160 developers to output the process of an ongoing process into a new
163 You can tell Org Babel to output the process of a running code block.
165 To show that output you only have to specify the =:show-process=
166 option in the code block's header like this:
169 ,#+BEGIN_SRC clojure :results output :show-process t
176 If =:show-process= is specified that way, then when you will run the
177 code using =C-c C-c= a new window will open in Emacs. Everything that
178 is output by the REPL will immediately be added to that new window.
180 When the processing of the code is finished, then the window and its
181 buffer will be closed and the results will be reported in the
184 Note that the =:results= parameter's behavior is *not* changed. If
185 =silent= is specified, then no result will be displayed. If =output=
186 is specified then all the output from the window will appears in the
187 results section. If =value= is specified, then only the last returned
188 value of the code will be displayed in the results section.
190 **** Maxima: new headers ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~
191 Babel options ~:prologue~ and ~:epilogue~ have been implemented for
192 Maxima src blocks which prepend and append, respectively, the given
193 code strings. This can be useful for specifying formatting settings
194 which would add clutter to exported code. For instance, you can use
195 this ~:prologue "fpprintprec: 2; linel: 50;"~ for presenting Maxima
196 results in a beamer presentation.
197 **** PlantUML: add support for header arguments
199 [[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
200 [[http://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] header arguments.
202 **** SQL: new engine added ~sqsh~
204 A new engine was added to support ~sqsh~ command line utility for use
205 against Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase SQL server.
207 More information on ~sqsh~ can be found here: [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/sqsh/][sourceforge/sqsh]]
209 To use ~sqsh~ in an *sql* =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
212 ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine sqsh :dbhost my_host :dbuser master :dbpassword pass :database support
218 **** SQL: new engine added =vertica=
220 A new engine was added to support vsql command line utility for use
223 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]]
225 To use =vertica= in an sql =SRC_BLK= set the =:engine= like this:
228 ,#+BEGIN_SRC sql :engine vertica :dbhost my_host :dbuser dbadmin :dbpassword pw :database vmart
232 **** C++: New header ~:namespaces~
234 The new ~:namespaces~ export option can be used to specify namespaces
235 to be used within a C++ org source block. Its usage is similar to
236 ~:includes~, in that it can accept multiple, space-separated
237 namespaces to use. This header is equivalent to adding ~using
238 namespace <name>;~ in the source block. Here is a "Hello World" in C++
242 ,#+BEGIN_SRC C++ :results output :namespaces std :includes <iostream>
243 cout << "Hello World" << endl;
247 **** Support for Vala language
249 [[https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala][Vala]] language blocks support two special header arguments:
251 - ~:flags~ passes arguments to the compiler
252 - ~:cmdline~ passes commandline arguments to the generated executable
254 Support for [[http://orgmode.org/manual/var.html#var][~:var~]] does not exist yet, also there is no [[http://orgmode.org/manual/session.html#session][~:session~]]
255 support because Vala is a compiled language.
257 The Vala compiler binary can be changed via the ~defcustom~
258 ~org-babel-vala-compiler~.
260 *** New ~function~ scope argument for the Clock Table
261 Added a nullary function that returns a list of files as a possible
262 argument for the scope of the clock table.
264 **** Implement vernacular table of contents in Markdown exporter
265 Global table of contents are generated using vanilla Markdown syntax
266 instead of HTML. Also #+TOC keyword, including local table of
267 contents, are now supported.
268 **** Add Slovanian translations
269 **** Implement ~org-export-insert-image-links~
270 This new function is meant to be used in back-ends supporting images
271 as descriptions of links, a.k.a. image links. See its docstring for
273 **** New macro : ~{{{n}}}~
274 This macro creates and increment multiple counters in a document. See
276 **** Add global macros through ~org-export-global-macros~
277 With this variable, one can define macros available for all documents.
278 **** New keyword ~#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME~
279 Similarly to ~:EXPORT_FILE_NAME:~ property, this keyword allows the
280 user to specify the name of the output file upon exporting the
281 document. This also has an effect on publishing.
282 **** Horizontal rules are no longer ignored in LaTeX table math mode
283 **** Use ~compilation-mode~ for compilation output
284 **** Plain lists accept a new ~:separator~ attribute in Texinfo
286 The new ~:separator~ attribute splits a tag from a description list
287 item into multiple parts. This allows to have two-column tables with
288 multiple entries in the first column. See manual for more details.
290 **** ~latex-environment~ elements support ~caption~ keywords for LaTeX export
291 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit LaTeX environments
293 Using ~C-c '~ on a LaTeX environment opens a sub-editing buffer. By
294 default, major mode in that buffer is ~latex-mode~, but it can be
295 changed by configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~.
297 *** ~org-list-to-generic~ includes a new property: ~:ifmt~
299 ~:ifmt~ is a function to be called on the body of each item. See
300 ~org-list-to-generic~ documentation for details.
302 *** New variable : ~org-bibtex-headline-format-function~
303 This allow to use a different title than entry title.
305 *** ~org-attach~ supports attaching files from URLs
307 Using ~C-c C-a u~ prompts for a URL pointing to a file to be attached
310 *** New option for ~org-refile-use-outline-path~
311 ~org-refile-use-outline-path~ now supports the setting ~buffer-name~,
312 which causes refile targets to be prefixed with the buffer’s
313 name. This is particularly useful when used in conjunction with
316 *** ~org-file-contents~ now allows the FILE argument to be a URL.
317 This allows ~#+SETUPFILE:~ to accept a URL instead of a local file
318 path. The URL contents are auto-downloaded and saved to a temporary
319 cache ~org--file-cache~. A new optional argument ~NOCACHE~ is added
320 to ~org-file-contents~.
322 *** ~org-mode-restart~ now resets the newly added ~org--file-cache~.
323 Using ~C-c C-c~ on any keyword (like ~#+SETUPFILE~) will reset the
326 *** New option : ~org-table-duration-hour-zero-padding~
327 This variable allow computed durations in tables to be zero-padded.
329 *** New mode switch for table formulas : =U=
330 This mode omits seconds in durations.
336 This feature has been removed. Use a custom agenda view, possibly
337 narrowed to current buffer to achieve a similar functionality.
339 *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
341 Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
343 *** ~org-agenda-skip-subtree-when-regexp-matches~ is obsolete
345 Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
347 *** ~org-agenda-skip-entry-when-regexp-matches-in-subtree~ is obsolete
349 Use ~org-agenda-skip-if~ instead.
351 *** ~org-minutes-to-clocksum-string~ is obsolete
353 Use ~org-duration-from-minutes~ instead.
355 *** ~org-hh:mm-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
357 Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
359 *** ~org-duration-string-to-minutes~ is obsolete
361 Use ~org-duration-to-minutes~ instead.
363 *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-cached-article-number~ is removed.
365 This function relied on ~nnimap-group-overview-filename~, which was
366 removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
370 *** ~org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all~ is removed.
372 For an equivalent to a ~nil~ value, set
373 ~org-agenda-show-future-repeats~ to nil and
374 ~org-agenda-prefer-last-repeat~ to ~t~.
376 *** ~org-gnus-nnimap-query-article-no-from-file~ is removed.
378 This variable has no effect, as it was relying on a function that was
379 removed from Gnus circa September 2010.
381 *** ~org-usenet-links-prefer-google~ is obsolete.
383 Use ~org-gnus-prefer-web-links~ instead.
385 *** ~org-publish-sitemap-file-entry-format~ is deprecated
387 One can provide new ~:sitemap-format-entry~ property for a function
388 equivalent to the removed format string.
390 *** ~org-texinfo-def-table-markup~ is obsolete
392 Use ~org-texinfo-table-default-markup~ instead.
396 *** ~org-publish-find-property~
398 This function can be used as a tool to format entries in a site-map,
399 in addition to ~org-publish-find-title~ and ~org-publish-find-date~.
401 *** ~org-list-to-org~
403 It is the reciprocal of ~org-list-to-lisp~, which see.
405 *** ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock-from-agenda~
407 Call ~org-agenda-set-restriction-lock~ from the agenda.
411 *** Allow multiple columns view
413 Columns view is not limited to a single buffer anymore.
415 *** Org Attach obeys ~dired-dwim-target~
417 When a Dired buffer is opened next to the Org document being edited,
418 the prompt for file to attach can start in the Dired buffer's
419 directory if `dired-dwim-target' in non-nil.
421 *** ~org-fill-paragraph~ can now fill a whole region
422 *** More specific anniversary descriptions
424 Anniversary descriptions (used in the agenda view, for instance)
425 include the point in time, when the anniversary appears. This is,
426 in its most general form, just the date of the anniversary. Or
427 more specific terms, like "today", "tomorrow" or "in n days" are
428 used to describe the time span.
430 This feature allows to automatically change the description of an
431 anniversary, depending on if it occurs in the next few days or
432 far away in the future.
434 *** Computed dates in tables appear as inactive time stamps
436 *** Save point before opening a file with an unknown search option
438 When following a file link with a search option (e.g., =::#custom-id=)
439 that doesn't exist in the target file, save positon before raising an
440 error. As a consequence, it is possible to jump back to the original
441 document with ~org-mark-ring-goto~ (default binding =C-c &=).
443 *** ~org-get-heading~ accepts two more optional arguments
445 See docstring for details.
447 *** New option ~org-babel-uppercase-example-markers~
449 This variable is a ~defcustom~ and replaces the variable
450 ~org-babel-capitalize-example-region-markers~, which is a ~defvar~ and
452 *** =INCLUDE= keywords in commented trees are now ignored.
453 *** Default value for ~org-texinfo-text-markup-alist~ changed.
455 Now ~=...=~ markup uses ~@samp{}~ instead of ~@verb{}~. You can use
456 ~@verb{}~ again by customizing the variable.
457 *** Texinfo exports example blocks as ~@example~
458 *** Texinfo exports inline src blocks as ~@code{}~
459 *** Texinfo default table markup is ~@asis~
460 It used to be ~@samp~ but ~@asis~ is neutral and, therefore, more
461 suitable as a default value.
462 *** Texinfo default process includes ~--no-split~ option
463 *** New entities : ~\dollar~ and ~\USD~
464 *** ~org-parse-time-string~ accepts a new optional argument
465 =ZONE= specifies the current time zone.
466 *** ~org-time-string-to-seconds~ now accepts an optional =ZONE= argument
467 *** Support for date style URLs in =org-protocol://open-source=
468 URLs like =https://cool-blog.com/2017/05/20/cool-post/= are
469 covered by rewrite rules.
471 *** Add (C) =COMMENT= support to ~org-structure-template-alist~
475 ** Incompatible changes
477 *** Emacs 23 support has been dropped
479 From now on, Org expects at least Emacs 24.3, although Emacs 24.4 or
482 *** XEmacs support has been dropped
484 Incomplete compatibility layer with XEmacs has been removed. If you
485 want to take over maintenance of this compatibility, please contact
488 *** New syntax for export blocks
490 Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
491 disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
494 ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
507 As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
510 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
516 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
519 The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
520 using previous syntax:
522 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
523 (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
524 "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
526 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
527 (let ((case-fold-search t)
528 (back-end-re (regexp-opt
529 '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
530 "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
532 (org-with-wide-buffer
533 (goto-char (point-min))
534 (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
536 (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
537 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
538 (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
540 (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
541 (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
544 (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
545 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
547 (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
548 (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
549 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
550 (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
551 (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
552 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
555 Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~ and
556 ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to be
561 **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
563 Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
564 it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
565 constructs are now unsupported.
567 If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them into
570 **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
572 Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
573 something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
574 consider using the =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
576 In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
579 *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
581 The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
582 S-expressions. Replacing an S-expression with an appropriate function
583 is straightforward. For example
589 : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
591 *** The ~{{{modification-time}}}~ macro can get time via =vc=
593 The modification time will be determined via =vc.el= if the second
594 argument is non-nil. See the manual for details.
596 *** Preparation and completion functions in publishing projects change signature
598 Preparation and completion functions are now called with an argument,
599 which is the project property list. It used to be dynamically scoped
600 through the ~project-plist~ variable.
602 *** Old Babel header properties are no longer supported
604 Using header arguments as property names is no longer possible. As
616 should be written instead
621 :header-args: :exports code
622 :header-args+: :var a=1 b=2
623 :header-args+: :var c=3
627 Please note that, however, old properties were defined at the source
628 block definition. Current ones are defined where the block is called.
632 *** ~org-eww~ has been moved into core
633 *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
635 Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
638 org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
639 org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
642 Old-style links such as
643 : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
644 continue to be supported.
646 If you have defined your own handler functions for
647 ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
648 list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
649 ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into property
652 *** New Org linter library
654 ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
656 *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
658 When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
659 entries are added to last in the date tree.
661 *** New ~vbar~ entity
663 ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionally as a =|=,
664 unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~|~ when using
665 a HTML derived export back-end.
669 **** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
671 PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
674 **** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
676 This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
677 a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
679 **** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
681 Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
682 string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
683 position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
686 **** New Texinfo ~options~ attribute on special blocks
688 Using ~:options~ as a Texinfo attribute, it is possible to add
689 information to custom environments. See manual for details.
691 **** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
693 If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
694 will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
695 enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
696 ~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
698 **** Listings with captions are now numbered in HTML export
700 The class associated to the numbering is "listing-number". If you
701 don't want these blocks to be numbered, as it was the case until now,
702 You may want to add ~.listing-number { display: none; }~ to the CSS
705 **** Line Numbering in SRC/EXAMPLE blocks support arbitrary start number
707 The ~-n~ option to ~SRC~ and ~EXAMPLE~ blocks can now take a numeric
708 argument to specify the staring line number for the source or example
709 block. The ~+n~ option can now take a numeric argument that will be
710 added to the last line number from the previous block as the starting
711 point for the SRC/EXAMPLE block.
714 ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp -n 20
715 ;; this will export with line number 20
716 (message "This is line 21")
718 ,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp +n 10
719 ;; This will be listed as line 31

724 **** Allow toggling center for images in LaTeX export
726 With the global variable ~org-latex-images-centered~ or the local
727 attribute ~:center~ it is now possible to center an image in LaTeX
730 **** Default CSS class ~org-svg~ for SVG images in HTML export
732 SVG images exported in HTML are now by default assigned a CSS class
733 ~org-svg~ if no CSS class is specified with the ~:class~ attribute. By
734 default, the CSS styling of class ~org-svg~ specifies an image width of
735 90\thinsp{}% of the container the image.
737 **** Markdown footnote export customization
739 Variables ~org-md-footnotes-section~ and ~org-md-footnote-format~
740 introduced for =ox-md.el=. Both new variables define template strings
741 which can be used to customize the format of the exported footnotes
742 section and individual footnotes, respectively.
746 **** Blocks with coderefs labels can now be evaluated
748 The labels are removed prior to evaluating the block.
750 **** Support for Lua language
751 **** Support for SLY in Lisp blocks
753 See ~org-babel-lisp-eval-fn~ to activate it.
755 **** Support for Stan language
757 New ob-stan.el library.
759 Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
761 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
763 This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
764 allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
766 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
768 This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
769 ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
770 that does not end in ".stan".
772 For more information and usage examples, visit
773 http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
775 **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
777 =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
778 database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
790 **** Improved support to Microsoft SQL Server via ~sqlcmd~
792 =ob-sql= library removes support to the ~msosql~ engine which uses the
793 deprecated ~osql~ command line tool, and replaces it with ~mssql~
794 engine which uses the ~sqlcmd~ command line tool. Use with properties
805 If you want to use the *trusted connection* feature, omit *both* the
806 =dbuser= and =dbpassword= properties and add =cmdline -E= to the properties.
808 If your Emacs is running in a Cygwin environment, the =ob-sql= library
809 can pass the converted path to the =sqlcmd= tool.
811 **** Improved support of header arguments for postgresql
813 The postgresql engine in a sql code block supports now ~:dbport~ nd
814 ~:dbpassword~ as header arguments.
816 **** Support for additional plantuml output formats
818 The support for output formats of [[http://plantuml.com/][plantuml]] has been extended to now
828 - utxt :: ASCII art using unicode characters
837 The output formats are determined by the file extension specified
838 using the :file property, e.g.:
840 #+begin_src plantuml :file diagram.png
842 Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
843 Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
845 Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
846 Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
850 Please note that *pdf* *does not work out of the box* and needs additional
851 setup in addition to plantuml. See [[http://plantuml.com/pdf.html]] for
852 details and setup information.
854 *** Rewrite of radio lists
856 Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
857 rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
858 parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
861 *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
863 Used like ~org-bbdb-anniversaries~, it provides a few days warning for
864 upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
866 *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
868 If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
869 information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
871 See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
873 *** Support for ISO week trees
875 ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
876 by ISO week and not by month.
883 : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
885 They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
886 ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
888 *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
890 When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
891 an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
893 On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
897 **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
899 When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
900 buffer unconditionally.
902 **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
904 The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
906 **** Allow custom summaries
908 It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
909 provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
911 **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
913 Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
916 *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
917 *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
919 When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
922 *** Allow conditional case-fold searches in ~org-occur~
924 When set to ~smart~, the new variable ~org-occur-case-fold-search~ allows
925 to mimic =isearch.el=: if the regexp searched contains any upper case
926 character (or character class), the search is case sensitive.
927 Otherwise, it is case insensitive.
929 *** More robust repeated =ox-latex= footnote handling
931 Repeated footnotes are now numbered by referring to a label in the
934 *** The ~org-block~ face is inherited by ~src-blocks~
936 This works also when =org-src-fontify-natively= is non-nil. It is also
937 possible to specify per-languages faces. See =org-src-block-faces= and
938 the manual for details.
940 *** Links are now customizable
942 Links can now have custom colors, tooltips, keymaps, display behavior,
943 etc. Links are now centralized in ~org-link-parameters~.
947 *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
949 It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
951 *** ~org-show-children~
953 It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
957 *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
959 Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
961 *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
963 Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
965 *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
967 Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
969 *** ~org-babel-trim~ is deprecated.
971 Use ~org-trim~ instead.
973 *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
975 Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
977 *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
979 Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
980 The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
982 *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
984 Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
986 *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
988 A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
989 now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
991 *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
993 Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
995 *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
997 It was not called by any org code since 2010.
999 *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
1001 The affected functions are:
1004 - ~org-remove-if-not~
1009 Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
1010 the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
1011 end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
1015 *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
1017 This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
1018 Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
1019 let those libraries operate.
1021 *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
1023 Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
1026 *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
1028 fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
1031 *** Add Icelandic smart quotes
1032 *** Allow multiple receiver locations in radio tables and lists
1033 *** Allow angular links within link descriptions
1035 It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
1036 ~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
1037 ~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
1038 is that spaces are allowed within the path.
1040 *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
1041 *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
1043 Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
1044 current project. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
1047 *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
1049 The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
1052 *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
1054 Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
1055 However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
1056 the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
1057 placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
1058 very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
1060 Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
1061 template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
1062 expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
1063 another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
1065 *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
1067 Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
1068 to the article's original group.
1070 *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
1072 The calling convention has changed.
1074 *** HTML export table row customization changes
1076 Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
1077 ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
1078 Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
1079 called with 6 parameters.
1081 *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
1082 *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
1084 The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
1086 *** ~org-trim~ can preserve leading indentation.
1088 When setting a new optional argument to a non-nil value, ~org-trim~
1089 preserves leading indentation while removing blank lines at the
1090 beginning of the string. The behavior is identical for white space at
1091 the end of the string.
1093 *** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
1095 HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
1096 than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
1097 Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
1099 : <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
1101 where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
1102 For most folks this file does not exist.
1103 Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
1105 : <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
1107 All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other
1110 *** Repeaters with a ~++~ interval and a time can be shifted to later today
1112 Previously, if a recurring task had a timestamp of
1113 ~<2016-01-01 Fri 20:00 ++1d>~ and was completed on =2016-01-02= at
1114 =08:00=, the task would skip =2016-01-02= and would be rescheduled for
1115 =2016-01-03=. Timestamps with ~++~ cookies and a specific time will
1116 now shift to the first possible future occurrence, even if the
1117 occurrence is later the same day the task is completed. (Timestamps
1118 already in the future are still shifted one time further into the
1121 *** ~org-mobile-action-alist~ is now a defconst
1123 It used to be a defcustom, with a warning that it shouldn't be
1126 *** ~file+emacs~ and ~file+sys~ link types are deprecated
1128 They are still supported in Org 9.0 but will eventually be removed in
1129 a later release. Use ~file~ link type along with universal arguments
1130 to force opening it in either Emacs or with system application.
1132 *** New defcustom ~org-babel-J-command~ stores the j command
1133 *** New defalias ~org-babel-execute:j~
1135 Allows J source blocks be indicated by letter j. Previously the
1136 indication letter was solely J.
1138 *** ~org-open-line~ ignores tables at the very beginning of the buffer
1140 When ~org-special-ctrl-o~ is non-nil, it is impractical to create
1141 a blank line above a table at the beginning of the document. Now, as
1142 a special case, ~org-open-line~ behaves normally in this situation.
1144 *** ~org-babel-hash-show-time~ is now customizable
1146 The experimental variable used to be more or less confidential, as
1149 *** New ~:format~ property to parsed links
1151 It defines the format of the original link. Possible values are:
1152 ~plain~, ~bracket~ and ~angle~.
1156 ** Incompatible changes
1158 *** Properties drawers syntax changes
1160 Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
1161 headline and its planning line, when applicable.
1163 It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
1164 logged before the property drawer.
1166 The following function will repair them:
1168 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1169 (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
1170 "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
1171 Ignore non Org buffers."
1172 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
1173 (org-with-wide-buffer
1174 (goto-char (point-min))
1175 (let ((case-fold-search t)
1176 (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
1177 (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
1181 (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
1183 (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
1185 (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
1186 (when (and (< (point) end)
1187 (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
1189 (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
1190 (eq (org-element-type
1191 (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
1193 (insert (delete-and-extract-region
1195 (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
1196 (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
1199 *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
1201 If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
1202 exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
1203 is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
1204 into account when exporting.
1206 If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
1207 for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
1209 *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
1211 It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
1212 the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
1215 =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
1216 properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
1221 :CATEGORY: some category
1225 *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
1227 ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
1228 and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
1229 controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
1232 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
1234 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
1235 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
1237 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
1238 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
1240 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
1242 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
1243 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
1245 *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
1247 The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
1248 ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~
1249 respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
1250 functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
1251 (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
1253 *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
1255 ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
1256 =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
1258 *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
1260 If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
1261 org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
1262 org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
1264 *** Functions signature changes
1266 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
1267 docstring for more information.
1269 - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
1270 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
1271 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
1272 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
1273 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
1278 *** Default lexical evaluation of emacs-lisp src blocks
1280 Emacs-lisp src blocks in babel are now evaluated using lexical
1281 scoping. There is a new header to control this behavior.
1283 The default results in an eval with lexical scoping.
1286 This turns lexical scoping off in the eval (the former behavior).
1289 This uses the lexical environment with x=42 in the eval.
1290 :lexical '((x . 42))
1292 *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
1294 If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
1295 without changing the headline.
1297 *** Hierarchies of tags
1299 The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
1300 This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
1301 in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
1303 The following in-buffer definition:
1306 ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
1307 ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
1308 ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
1311 Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
1321 Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
1322 on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
1324 There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
1326 *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
1328 Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
1329 don't have to be distinct on a heading.
1331 Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
1332 already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
1333 non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: { }
1334 can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the given
1335 tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
1337 [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
1343 This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
1346 *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
1348 Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
1351 The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
1354 : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
1356 Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
1357 regular expression matches for P@.+. This is good for example for
1358 projects tagged with a common identifier, i.e. P@2014_OrgTags.
1360 *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
1362 Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filters all of the related tags.
1363 Except if a filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
1365 Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
1368 If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
1369 is also used as a filter.
1371 *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
1373 Now uses the argument ARG and optional argument exclude instead of
1374 strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
1375 makes more sense than strip now. The term "narrowing" is changed to
1378 The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
1379 filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
1381 *** Babel: support for sed scripts
1383 Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
1385 *** Babel: support for Processing language
1387 New ob-processing.el library.
1389 This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
1390 of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
1391 external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
1393 Check the documentation for more details.
1395 Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
1397 *** New behaviour for ~org-toggle-latex-fragment~
1399 The new behaviour is the following:
1401 - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument when
1402 point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the whole
1405 - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
1408 - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
1410 - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
1412 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
1414 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
1415 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
1417 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
1419 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
1420 possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
1423 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
1425 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
1426 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
1427 ~org-drawers~ variable.
1429 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
1431 Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
1432 mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
1433 "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
1434 configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
1436 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
1438 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
1439 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
1440 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
1443 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
1445 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch in
1448 *** New option in ASCII export
1450 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting ~org-ascii-list-margin~
1451 variable to an appropriate integer.
1453 *** New blocks in ASCII export
1455 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT=
1456 blocks. See documentation for details.
1458 *** More back-end specific publishing options
1460 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
1461 increased. See manual for details.
1463 *** Export inline source blocks
1465 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
1466 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
1467 in the output, depending on the parameters.
1469 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
1471 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
1473 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
1475 *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
1477 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
1479 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
1480 more features. See docstring for details.
1482 *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
1484 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
1486 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
1487 document, before wrapping it within the template.
1489 *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
1491 : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
1493 : This sentence is false.
1496 will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
1498 *** Various improvements on radio tables
1500 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
1501 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
1502 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are new
1503 parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
1504 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
1505 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
1507 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
1509 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction
1510 with source blocks exported by the minted package.
1512 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
1514 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
1515 would throw an error. A new variable ~org-table-formula-create-columns~
1516 was added to adjust this behavior. It is now possible to silently add
1517 new columns, to do so with a warning or to explicitly ask the user
1522 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
1525 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
1527 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
1528 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
1530 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
1532 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
1534 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
1536 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is now
1537 deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
1538 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
1540 *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
1542 See the docstring for more information.
1544 *** Export unnumbered headlines
1546 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
1547 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
1548 property is inherited by children.
1550 *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
1552 It is now possible to specify a function, both programmatically,
1553 through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~ keys,
1556 *** Table of contents can be local to a section
1558 The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See manual
1561 *** Countdown timers can now be paused
1563 ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
1566 *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
1568 When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
1569 displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
1571 *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
1573 It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
1574 ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
1576 *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
1578 It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
1579 ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
1582 *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
1584 It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
1585 title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
1587 *** New entities family: "\_ "
1589 "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
1590 back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
1591 leading spaces within table cells.
1593 *** New MathJax configuration options
1595 Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
1596 of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
1598 *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
1600 When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
1601 `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
1602 `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
1604 However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
1605 =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
1606 value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
1607 keywords and properties.
1609 *** Viewport support in html export
1611 Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
1612 when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
1614 *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
1616 Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
1619 *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
1621 Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
1622 allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in a
1623 dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
1625 *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
1627 Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
1628 added to headline text.
1630 *** Support for images in Texinfo export
1632 ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See the manual for details.
1634 *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
1636 Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
1637 of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
1640 *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
1642 In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
1643 set using the hh:mm:ss format.
1645 *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
1647 ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for the
1648 number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original subtree
1649 and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
1651 *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
1653 It encompasses all past closed clocks.
1655 *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
1657 See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
1658 ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
1660 *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
1662 *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
1664 ** Removed functions
1666 *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
1668 Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
1670 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
1672 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
1673 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
1674 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
1675 accessible from the export dispatcher.
1677 *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
1679 ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
1681 *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
1683 This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
1684 references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
1686 *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
1688 The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
1691 *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
1693 These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
1694 anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
1698 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
1700 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
1703 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
1704 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
1706 *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
1708 Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
1709 body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
1712 *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
1714 Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
1715 everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
1717 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
1719 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name= at
1720 the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the value
1721 of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=. To chose
1722 a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind this
1725 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
1727 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
1728 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
1729 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
1730 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
1731 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
1733 *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
1735 Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
1736 would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
1739 *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
1741 Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
1743 *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
1745 This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
1747 *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
1749 This variable has no effect since August 2009.
1751 *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
1753 MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
1754 end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
1755 ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
1756 ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
1758 *** Removed comment-related filters
1760 ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
1761 ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
1766 *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
1768 ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
1770 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
1772 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
1773 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
1775 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
1777 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
1778 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
1781 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
1783 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
1784 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
1786 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
1788 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
1790 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
1792 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
1793 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
1794 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
1795 particular test failure was introduced.
1797 *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
1799 Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
1800 the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as well
1801 as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~ when
1802 ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
1804 *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
1806 New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
1807 Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
1809 *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
1811 If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
1812 ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~ now.
1814 *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
1816 This helps spotting wrong links.
1820 ** Incompatible changes
1821 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
1822 This may require two changes in user config.
1824 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
1825 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
1826 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
1828 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
1830 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
1831 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
1832 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
1834 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
1835 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
1837 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
1841 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
1843 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
1845 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
1846 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
1847 option keywords like :html-include-style.
1849 So you need to replace
1851 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
1855 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
1857 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
1858 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
1860 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
1862 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
1863 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
1864 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
1866 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
1867 the other optional arguments accordingly.
1869 *** Export back-ends are now structures
1871 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
1872 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
1873 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
1876 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
1878 ** Important bugfixes
1880 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
1881 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
1883 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
1885 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
1886 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
1887 separator starting a TOTO match string.
1890 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
1892 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
1894 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
1896 - Support SVG images
1897 - Support for .pgf files
1898 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
1899 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
1900 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
1901 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
1902 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
1903 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
1904 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
1906 *** New functions for paragraph motion
1908 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
1909 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
1910 in a paragraph-like way.
1912 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1914 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
1915 dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
1916 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
1917 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
1918 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
1920 *** Anonymous export back-ends
1922 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
1923 which can then be passed to export functions like
1924 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
1926 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
1927 registering a new back-end.
1929 *** New agenda fortnight view
1931 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
1932 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
1935 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
1937 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
1938 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
1940 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
1941 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
1942 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
1944 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
1945 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
1947 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
1948 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
1949 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
1950 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
1951 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
1954 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
1956 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
1958 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
1960 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
1962 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
1964 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
1966 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
1968 If you set this to the following
1970 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
1972 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
1974 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
1976 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
1978 ** New contributed packages
1980 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
1981 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
1984 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
1985 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
1989 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
1991 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
1992 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
1993 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
1994 the same with example blocks.
1996 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
2003 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
2005 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
2008 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
2009 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
2010 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
2012 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
2013 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
2014 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
2015 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
2016 detailed explanations.
2018 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
2019 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
2020 function has been called already.
2022 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
2025 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
2027 ** Incompatible changes
2029 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
2031 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
2033 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
2034 you will have to update them.
2036 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
2038 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
2039 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
2041 **** New export engine
2043 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
2044 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
2045 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
2046 /all/ export back-ends.
2048 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
2049 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
2050 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
2051 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
2052 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
2054 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
2055 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
2057 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
2058 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
2059 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
2060 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
2062 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
2064 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
2066 should now be written
2068 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
2070 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
2071 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
2072 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
2074 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
2076 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
2078 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
2081 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
2082 remember templates into capture templates.
2084 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
2086 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
2087 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
2089 **** Note for third-party developers
2091 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
2092 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
2093 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
2095 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
2098 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
2100 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
2101 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
2102 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
2104 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
2105 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
2106 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
2109 - org-colview-xemacs.el
2110 - org-mac-message.el
2116 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
2117 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
2118 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
2120 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
2121 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
2123 ** New packages in core
2125 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
2127 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
2129 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
2131 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
2133 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
2135 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
2136 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
2138 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
2140 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.

2194 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
2197 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
2198 conversion from Org files to groff.
2200 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
2202 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
2204 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
2206 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
2207 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
2214 **** New export generic options
2216 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
2217 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
2219 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
2221 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
2222 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
2223 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
2224 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
2226 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
2227 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
2228 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
2229 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
2230 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
2231 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
2232 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
2233 contains time-stamps.
2235 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
2236 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
2237 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
2239 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
2241 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
2243 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
2245 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
2247 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
2248 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
2249 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
2250 *** Structure editing
2252 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
2253 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
2255 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
2256 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
2258 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
2260 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
2261 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
2262 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
2263 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
2266 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
2268 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
2269 _words__= will preserve markup.
2271 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
2273 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
2274 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
2275 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
2277 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
2279 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
2280 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
2282 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
2284 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
2285 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
2286 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
2287 forward and backward.
2289 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
2290 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
2292 Now Org will sort this list
2294 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
2295 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
2299 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
2300 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
2302 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
2303 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
2304 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
2306 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
2307 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
2308 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
2310 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
2313 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
2315 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
2316 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
2317 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
2319 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
2321 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
2322 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
2323 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
2324 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
2326 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
2328 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
2329 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
2330 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
2331 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
2332 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
2334 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
2336 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
2337 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
2338 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
2340 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
2341 *** Scheduled/deadline
2343 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
2345 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
2346 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
2347 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
2348 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
2350 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
2351 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
2352 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
2353 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
2355 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
2356 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
2357 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
2358 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
2359 control this globally or per agenda.
2361 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
2363 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
2365 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
2367 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
2368 *** Calendar, diary and appts
2370 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
2372 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
2373 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
2374 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
2376 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2377 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
2378 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
2380 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
2381 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
2383 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
2386 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
2388 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
2389 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
2390 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
2392 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
2394 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
2395 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
2396 only show their description, not the full links.
2399 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
2401 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
2402 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
2403 want to build a list of appointments.
2405 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
2406 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
2408 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
2410 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
2412 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
2413 time value (i.e. appointments).
2415 **** New agenda sorting strategies
2417 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
2419 | Strategy | Explanations |
2420 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
2421 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
2422 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
2423 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
2424 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
2425 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
2426 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
2427 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
2428 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
2429 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
2430 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
2432 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
2434 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
2435 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
2436 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
2438 These new options are available:
2440 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
2441 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
2442 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
2443 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
2445 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
2446 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
2447 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
2449 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
2450 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
2451 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
2452 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
2453 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
2454 non-tagged headlines.
2456 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
2458 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
2459 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
2460 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
2461 that take only =N= minutes.
2463 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
2465 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
2466 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
2467 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
2469 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
2471 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
2472 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
2474 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
2476 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
2477 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
2479 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
2482 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
2484 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
2485 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
2486 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
2488 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
2489 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
2491 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
2493 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
2494 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
2496 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
2498 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
2500 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
2501 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
2504 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
2506 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
2507 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
2508 asks for a confirmation.
2510 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
2512 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
2513 the mark of the entry at point.
2515 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
2516 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
2518 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
2520 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
2521 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
2524 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
2526 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
2527 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
2529 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
2531 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
2532 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
2534 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
2536 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
2537 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
2538 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
2539 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
2541 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
2543 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
2544 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
2545 repeated beyond the current deadline.
2547 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
2549 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
2550 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
2551 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
2552 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
2554 Read the full docstring for details.
2556 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
2558 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
2561 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
2564 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
2566 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
2567 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
2570 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
2572 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
2573 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
2575 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
2577 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
2578 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
2579 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
2580 check against the name of the buffer.
2583 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
2584 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
2585 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
2588 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
2589 agenda views, and for filtering.
2591 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
2595 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
2597 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
2598 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
2599 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
2601 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
2602 as if the protocol was not known.
2604 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
2606 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
2608 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
2609 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
2610 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
2613 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
2615 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
2616 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
2617 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
2619 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
2621 When storing a link to a headline like
2623 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
2625 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
2626 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
2627 there is no description.
2630 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
2632 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
2633 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
2634 those other formulas.
2636 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
2638 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
2639 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
2640 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
2643 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
2645 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
2646 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
2647 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
2650 **** New lookup functions
2652 There are now three lookup functions:
2654 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
2655 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
2656 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
2658 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
2659 *** Startup keywords
2661 These new startup keywords are now available:
2663 | Startup keyword | Option |
2664 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
2665 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
2666 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
2667 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
2668 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |

2672 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
2676 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
2678 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
2679 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
2680 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
2681 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
2683 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
2685 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
2686 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
2687 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
2690 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
2691 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
2693 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
2695 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
2696 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
2698 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
2700 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
2701 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
2702 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
2704 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
2705 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
2706 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
2707 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
2708 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
2709 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
2710 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
2713 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
2715 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
2717 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
2719 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
2720 same target than the block at point.
2722 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
2724 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
2725 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
2726 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
2728 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
2729 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
2732 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
2734 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
2735 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
2736 manual for a usage example.
2738 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
2740 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
2741 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
2742 collecting blocks for tangling.
2744 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
2745 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
2747 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
2748 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
2749 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
2750 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
2752 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
2753 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.

2785 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
2787 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
2789 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
2791 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
2793 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
2794 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
2795 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
2796 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
2797 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
2798 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
2799 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
2800 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
2802 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
2804 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
2805 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
2807 *** MobileOrg for iOS
2809 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
2810 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
2811 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
2815 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
2817 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
2818 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
2821 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
2822 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
2823 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
2824 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
2825 agenda type to this variable.
2827 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
2830 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
2831 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
2832 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
2833 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
2835 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
2837 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
2838 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
2839 invisible) blocked tasks.
2841 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
2843 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
2844 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
2846 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
2848 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
2849 ** No GPL manual anymore
2851 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
2852 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
2854 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
2856 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
2858 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
2859 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
2860 in most environments.
2864 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
2866 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
2868 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2869 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
2872 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
2873 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
2874 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
2877 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/

2897 ** New package and Babel language
2899 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
2901 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
2903 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
2904 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
2906 ** Incompatible changes
2908 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
2909 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
2911 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
2914 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
2915 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
2916 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
2918 ** New features and user-visible changes
2922 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
2923 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
2924 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
2925 core and many core functions rely on this package.
2927 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
2928 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
2930 See the docstrings for more details.
2932 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
2933 on =org-element.el=.
2935 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
2937 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
2938 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
2939 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
2940 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
2942 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
2944 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
2945 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
2946 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
2947 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
2949 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
2951 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
2953 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
2955 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
2958 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
2959 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
2961 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
2962 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
2963 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
2966 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
2969 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
2970 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
2971 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
2973 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
2974 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
2975 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
2980 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
2982 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
2983 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
2984 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
2985 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
2987 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
2988 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
2989 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
2990 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
2991 generating new ones.
2993 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
2996 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
2998 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
2999 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
3002 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
3003 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
3004 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
3007 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
3008 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
3009 details on how to use this.
3011 **** Changes in bulk actions
3013 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
3014 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
3016 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
3017 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
3018 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
3019 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
3020 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
3022 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
3023 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
3025 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
3026 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
3029 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
3031 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
3033 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
3035 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
3036 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
3038 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
3040 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
3041 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
3042 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
3043 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
3046 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
3048 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
3051 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
3052 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
3053 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
3054 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
3055 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
3058 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
3060 See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
3062 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
3064 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
3065 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
3066 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
3067 filters and category filters.
3069 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
3070 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
3073 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
3074 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
3075 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
3080 **** Inserting links
3082 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
3083 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
3084 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
3087 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
3088 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
3089 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
3090 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
3092 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
3095 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
3097 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
3098 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
3099 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
3100 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
3102 **** New link type =help=
3104 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
3106 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
3107 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
3108 you go back to the same buffer.
3110 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
3112 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
3113 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
3116 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
3118 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
3120 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
3122 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
3124 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
3126 **** RET now follows time stamps links
3130 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
3132 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
3133 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
3134 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
3135 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
3137 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
3139 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
3140 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
3141 all headlines in the region.
3143 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
3145 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
3147 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
3148 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
3150 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
3152 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
3154 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
3156 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
3158 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
3160 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
3161 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
3162 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
3167 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
3169 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
3171 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
3173 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
3174 clocked entry, if any.
3176 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
3178 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
3180 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
3182 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
3183 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
3186 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
3187 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
3188 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
3192 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
3194 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
3197 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
3199 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
3200 cells in clockreport.
3202 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
3203 time cells in clockreport.
3206 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
3208 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
3209 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
3211 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
3212 in the mode line and/or frame title.
3214 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
3215 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
3216 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
3217 space in the frame title.
3221 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
3223 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
3224 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
3225 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
3226 don't want to see temporarily.
3228 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
3230 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
3232 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
3234 There are these new entities:
3236 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
3237 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
3238 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
3239 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
3240 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
3241 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
3243 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
3244 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
3245 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
3247 The face is back to a normal height.
3251 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
3252 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
3254 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
3255 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
3257 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
3259 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
3260 block will use its value as the column format.
3262 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
3264 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
3266 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
3268 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
3270 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
3271 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
3272 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
3273 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
3275 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
3279 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
3281 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
3283 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
3285 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
3287 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
3288 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
3289 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
3291 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
3293 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
3294 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
3295 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
3299 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
3301 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
3302 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
3303 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
3304 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
3306 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
3308 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
3309 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
3312 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
3313 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
3314 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
3317 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
3318 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
3319 more details on how to use this.
3321 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
3322 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
3324 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
3325 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
3328 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
3330 See the manual for more explanations.
3332 **** More control over empty lines
3334 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
3335 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
3338 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
3340 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
3344 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
3346 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
3347 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
3348 available) to print beautiful tables.
3350 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
3352 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
3353 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
3356 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
3358 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
3359 in the #+DATE option.
3361 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
3363 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
3365 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
3366 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
3368 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
3369 More languages are always welcome.
3371 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
3373 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
3374 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
3376 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
3377 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
3378 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
3379 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
3380 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
3381 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
3383 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
3384 to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
3388 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
3390 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
3393 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
3395 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
3396 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
3398 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
3400 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
3402 It used to exports the results of the code.
3406 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
3407 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
3409 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
3410 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
3412 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
3414 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
3415 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
3416 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
3418 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
3419 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
3421 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
3422 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
3423 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
3426 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
3428 This will increment the effort value.
3430 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
3432 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
3434 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
3435 attach symbolic links.
3437 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
3439 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
3441 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
3442 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
3444 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
3446 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
3448 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
3449 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
3450 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
3452 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
3454 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
3455 all top level list items.
3457 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
3459 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
3461 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
3462 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
3464 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
3466 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
3468 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
3469 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
3470 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
3471 first headline in the region.
3473 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
3475 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
3478 ** Important bug fixes
3480 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
3482 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
3483 perform completion with meaningful values.
3485 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
3487 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
3488 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
3489 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
3491 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
3492 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
3494 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
3495 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
3498 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
3499 the code and the license to your needs.
3501 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
3502 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
3506 ** Incompatible changes
3508 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
3510 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
3512 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
3514 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
3515 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
3516 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
3517 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
3520 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
3522 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
3523 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
3524 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
3526 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
3528 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
3529 =org-agenda-span= instead.
3531 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
3533 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
3535 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
3536 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
3537 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
3538 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
3539 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
3541 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
3542 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
3543 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
3544 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
3545 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
3546 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
3548 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
3549 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
3550 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
3553 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
3556 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
3557 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
3558 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
3559 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
3561 The two new variables are:
3563 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
3564 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
3565 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
3566 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
3567 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
3568 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
3569 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
3571 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
3572 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
3575 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
3578 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
3579 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
3580 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
3581 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
3583 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
3584 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
3585 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
3586 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
3589 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
3590 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
3591 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
3592 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
3593 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
3594 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
3597 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
3598 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
3599 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
3600 applies to the following packages:
3618 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
3619 you are using, you can remove it from
3620 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
3621 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
3624 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
3625 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
3626 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
3627 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
3628 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
3631 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
3633 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
3634 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
3635 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
3638 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
3640 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
3642 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
3644 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
3646 ** Important new features
3648 *** New Org to ODT exporter
3650 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
3652 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
3653 for more information on how to customize it.
3655 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
3657 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
3658 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
3659 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
3660 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
3662 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
3663 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
3664 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
3666 To switch over to the new system:
3670 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
3672 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
3673 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
3674 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
3675 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
3676 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
3678 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
3680 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
3683 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
3686 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
3688 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
3689 you have decided to move over completely to the new
3690 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
3691 with using both system in parallel.
3695 *** New Org libraries
3696 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
3698 Implement links to eshell buffers.
3700 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
3702 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
3704 To use, put the following in your init file:
3707 (require 'org-special-blocks)
3710 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
3711 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
3712 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
3713 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
3714 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
3715 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
3716 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
3717 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
3718 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
3721 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
3723 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
3724 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
3726 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
3728 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
3729 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
3730 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
3733 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
3734 call function to do something special with text links.
3736 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
3738 **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
3740 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
3741 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
3742 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
3745 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
3747 Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
3749 *** New Babel libraries
3751 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
3752 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
3753 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
3754 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
3755 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
3756 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
3757 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
3759 ** Other new features and various enhancements
3763 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
3765 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
3766 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
3767 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
3768 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
3769 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
3770 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
3772 The key new functions are
3774 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
3775 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
3776 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
3778 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
3779 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
3781 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
3782 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
3784 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
3785 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
3787 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
3789 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
3790 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
3791 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
3793 **** Modified link escaping
3795 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
3797 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
3798 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
3799 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
3800 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
3803 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
3804 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
3805 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
3806 : percent escaped links are solved.
3808 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
3810 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
3812 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
3813 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
3815 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
3817 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
3819 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
3820 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
3821 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
3822 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
3823 string to be executed.
3825 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
3826 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
3830 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
3831 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
3834 Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
3838 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
3840 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
3841 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
3842 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
3843 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
3845 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
3846 will work on the current entry.
3848 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
3849 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
3851 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
3853 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
3855 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
3858 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
3859 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
3864 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
3866 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
3867 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
3868 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
3870 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
3872 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
3873 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
3874 entries using a function.
3876 Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
3877 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
3878 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
3880 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
3882 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
3883 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
3884 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
3886 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
3888 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
3889 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
3890 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
3891 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
3892 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
3893 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
3895 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
3899 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
3901 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
3902 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
3904 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
3905 docstring of these variable for details about available
3908 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
3909 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
3910 formatting string will insert a string.
3912 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
3914 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
3915 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
3916 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
3917 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
3918 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
3919 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
3920 C-e u=, respectively.
3922 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
3923 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
3924 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
3925 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
3926 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
3929 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
3931 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
3932 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
3934 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
3936 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
3937 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
3939 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
3941 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
3942 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
3943 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
3944 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
3945 section]] in the manual for more details.
3947 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
3948 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
3949 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
3954 **** Refile targets can now be cached
3956 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
3957 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
3958 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
3959 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
3960 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
3962 **** New logging support for refiling
3964 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
3965 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
3968 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
3972 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
3974 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
3978 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
3980 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
3981 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
3983 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
3985 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
3986 the displayed in the buffer.
3988 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
3990 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
3992 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
3993 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
3995 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
3996 |--------+--------+---------|
3997 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
3998 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
4000 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
4003 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
4006 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
4008 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
4010 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
4011 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
4018 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
4019 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
4022 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
4024 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
4026 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
4027 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
4029 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
4033 **** Improved handling of lists
4035 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
4037 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
4038 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
4039 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
4042 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
4043 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
4044 counters like [@c] or [@W].
4046 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
4047 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
4048 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
4049 `org-list-export-context'.
4051 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
4052 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
4053 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
4055 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
4056 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
4057 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
4058 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
4059 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
4061 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
4062 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
4063 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
4065 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
4067 *** Inline display of linked images
4069 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
4070 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
4071 that have no description part will be inlined.
4073 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
4075 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
4076 from 1, you can now do it like this:
4078 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
4080 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
4082 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
4083 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
4084 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
4085 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
4086 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
4087 into account all header arguments, and variables.
4089 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
4090 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
4091 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
4094 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
4095 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
4096 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
4097 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
4098 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
4099 properties or in tables.
4101 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
4102 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
4103 names, and rownames across all languages.
4105 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
4107 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
4109 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
4110 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
4111 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
4113 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
4115 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
4116 request by Scott Otterson.
4118 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
4120 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
4121 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
4122 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
4123 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
4124 superscripts, see the variable
4125 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
4127 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
4129 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
4131 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
4132 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
4133 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
4134 following new faces:
4136 =org-document-title=
4138 =org-document-info-keyword=
4140 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
4141 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
4143 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
4145 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
4147 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
4148 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
4149 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
4150 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
4151 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
4152 property is affected by this setting.
4154 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
4155 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
4157 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
4159 Requested by Michael Brand.
4161 **** Better level cycling function
4163 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
4164 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
4165 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
4166 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
4168 **** Adaptive filling
4170 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
4171 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
4172 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
4173 comments to be filled correctly.
4175 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
4177 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
4179 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
4181 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
4183 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
4184 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
4186 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
4190 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
4192 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
4193 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
4194 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
4195 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
4197 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
4199 **** Localized clock tables
4201 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
4202 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
4203 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
4204 available translated strings.
4206 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
4208 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
4209 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
4210 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
4211 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
4213 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
4215 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
4217 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
4218 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
4219 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
4220 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
4223 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
4227 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
4229 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
4230 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
4232 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
4234 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
4236 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
4237 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
4238 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
4241 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
4244 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
4246 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
4247 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
4252 org-table-current-line
4256 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
4258 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
4259 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
4262 This was requested by Tom.
4264 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
4266 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
4267 example by viewing from the agenda.
4269 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
