12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** New syntax for export blocks
14 Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
15 disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
18 ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
31 As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
34 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
40 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
43 The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
44 using previous syntax:
46 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
47 (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
48 "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
49 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
50 (let ((case-fold-search t)
51 (back-end-re (regexp-opt
52 '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
53 "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
56 (goto-char (point-min))
57 (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
59 (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
60 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
61 (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
63 (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
64 (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
67 (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
68 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
70 (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
71 (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
72 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
73 (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
74 (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
75 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
78 Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~
79 and ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to
83 **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
84 Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
85 it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
86 constructs are now unsupported.
88 If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them
90 **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
91 Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
92 something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
93 consider using =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
95 In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
97 *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
98 The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
99 S-expressions. Replacing a S-expresion with an appropriate function
100 is straightforward. For example
106 : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
109 *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
111 Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
114 org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
115 org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
118 Old-style links such as
119 : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
120 continue to be supported.
122 If you have defined your own handler functions for
123 ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
124 list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
125 ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into
129 ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
130 *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
131 When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
132 entries are added to last in the date tree.
133 *** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
134 This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
135 a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
136 *** New ~vbar~ entity
137 ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionnally as a =|=,
138 unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~|~ when using
139 a HTML derived export back-end.
141 **** Support for Stan language
142 New ob-stan.el library.
144 Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
146 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
148 This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
149 allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
151 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
153 This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
154 ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
155 that does not end in ".stan".
157 For more information and usage examples, visit
158 http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
159 **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
160 =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
161 database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
172 *** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
173 PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
175 *** Rewrite of radio lists
176 Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
177 rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
178 parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
180 *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
181 Used like org-bbdb-anniversaries, it provides a few days warning
182 for upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
183 *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
184 If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
185 information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
187 See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
188 *** Support for ISO week trees
189 ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
190 by ISO week and not by month.
197 : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
199 They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
200 ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
201 *** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
202 Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
203 string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
204 position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
206 *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
207 When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
208 an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
210 On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
212 **** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
213 When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
214 buffer unconditionally.
215 **** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
216 The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
217 **** Allow custom summaries
218 It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
219 provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
220 **** Allow multiple summaries for any property
221 Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
223 *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
224 *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
225 When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
228 *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
229 It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
230 *** ~org-show-children~
231 It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
234 *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
235 Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
236 *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
237 Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
238 *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
239 Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
241 *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
242 Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
243 *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
244 Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
245 The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
247 *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
248 Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
249 *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
250 A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
251 now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
253 *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
254 Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
256 *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
257 It was not called by any org code since 2010.
259 *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
260 The affected functions are:
263 - ~org-remove-if-not~
268 Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
269 the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
270 end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
273 *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
274 This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
275 Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
276 let those libraries operate.
277 *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
278 Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
280 *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
281 fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
283 *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
285 *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
286 Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
287 current projet. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
290 *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
291 The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
294 *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
295 Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
296 However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
297 the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
298 placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
299 very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
301 Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
302 template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
303 expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
304 another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
306 *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
307 Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
308 to the article's original group.
310 *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
311 The calling convention has changed.
312 *** HTML export table row customization changes
313 Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
314 ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
315 Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
316 called with 6 parameters.
317 *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
318 *** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
319 The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
322 ** Incompatible changes
324 *** Properties drawers syntax changes
326 Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
327 headline and its planning line, when applicable.
329 It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
330 logged before the property drawer.
332 The following function will repair them:
334 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
335 (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
336 "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
337 Ignore non Org buffers."
338 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
339 (org-with-wide-buffer
340 (goto-char (point-min))
341 (let ((case-fold-search t)
342 (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
343 (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
347 (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
349 (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
351 (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
352 (when (and (< (point) end)
353 (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
355 (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
356 (eq (org-element-type
357 (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
359 (insert (delete-and-extract-region
361 (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
362 (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
365 *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
367 If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
368 exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
369 is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
370 into account when exporting.
372 If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
373 for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
375 *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
377 It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
378 the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
381 =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
382 properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
387 :CATEGORY: some category
391 *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
393 ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
394 and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
395 controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
398 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
400 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
401 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
403 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
404 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
406 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
408 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
409 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
411 *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
413 The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
414 ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-previous-visible-heading~ respectively,
415 rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these functions. The Org
416 version of these functions skips over inline tasks (and even-level
417 headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
419 *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
421 ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
422 =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
424 *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
426 If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
427 org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
428 org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
430 *** Functions signature changes
432 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
433 docstring for more information.
435 - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
436 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
437 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
438 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
439 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
443 *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
445 If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
446 without changing the headline.
448 *** Hierarchies of tags
449 The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
450 This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
451 in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
453 The following in-buffer definition:
455 ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
456 ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
457 ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
460 Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
469 Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
470 on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
472 There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
474 *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
475 Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
476 don't have to be distinct on a heading.
478 Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
479 already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
480 non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: {
481 } can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the
482 given tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
484 [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
490 This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
493 *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
494 Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
497 The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
500 : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
502 Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
503 regular expression matches for P@.+. Good for example if tags for a
504 certain project is tagged with a common project-identifier,
507 *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
508 Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filter all of the related tags.
509 Exception if filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
511 Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
514 If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
515 is also used as a filter.
517 *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
518 Now uses the argument arg and optional argument exclude instead of
519 strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
520 makes more sense than strip now. The term narrowing is changed to
523 The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
524 filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
526 *** Babel: support for sed scripts
528 Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
530 *** Babel: support for Processing language
532 New ob-processing.el library.
534 This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
535 of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
536 external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
538 Check the documentation for more.
540 Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
542 *** New behaviour for `org-toggle-latex-fragment'
543 The new behaviour is the following:
545 - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument
546 when point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the
549 - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
552 - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
554 - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
556 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
558 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
559 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
561 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
563 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
564 possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
567 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
569 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
570 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
571 ~org-drawers~ variable.
573 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
575 Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
576 mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
577 "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
578 configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
580 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
582 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
583 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
584 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
587 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
589 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
592 *** New option in ASCII export
594 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
595 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
597 *** New blocks in ASCII export
599 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
600 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
602 *** More back-end specific publishing options
604 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
605 increased. See manual for details.
607 *** Export inline source blocks
609 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
610 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
611 in the output, depending on the parameters.
613 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
615 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
617 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
619 *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
621 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
623 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
624 more features. See docstring for details.
626 *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
628 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
630 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
631 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
633 *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
635 : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
637 : This sentence is false.
640 will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
642 *** Various improvements on radio tables
644 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
645 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
646 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
647 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
648 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
649 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
651 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
653 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
654 source blocks exported by the minted package.
656 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
658 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
659 would throw an error. A new variable
660 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
661 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
662 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
666 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
669 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
671 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
672 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
674 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
676 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
678 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
680 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
681 now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
682 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
684 *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
686 See docstring for more information.
688 *** Export unnumbered headlines
690 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
691 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
692 property is inherited by children.
694 *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
696 It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
697 through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
698 keys, to sort a table.
700 *** Table of contents can be local to a section
702 The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See
705 *** Countdown timers can now be paused
707 ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
710 *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
712 When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
713 displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
715 *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
717 It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
718 ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
720 *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
722 It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
723 ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
726 *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
728 It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
729 title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
731 *** New entities family: "\_ "
733 "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
734 back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
735 leading spaces within table cells.
737 *** New MathJax configuration options
739 Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
740 of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
742 *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
744 When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
745 `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
746 `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
748 However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
749 =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
750 value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
751 keywords and properties.
753 *** Viewport support in html export
755 Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
756 when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
758 *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
760 Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
763 *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
765 Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
766 allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in
767 a dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
769 *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
771 Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
772 added to headline text.
774 *** Support for images in Texinfo export
776 ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See manual for details.
778 *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
780 Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
781 of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
784 *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
786 In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
787 set using the hh:mm:ss format.
789 *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
791 ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for
792 the number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original
793 subtree and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
795 *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
797 It encompasses all past closed clocks.
799 *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
801 See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
802 ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
804 *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
806 *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
810 *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
812 Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
814 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
816 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
817 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
818 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
819 accessible from the export dispatcher.
821 *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
823 ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
825 *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
827 This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
828 references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
830 *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
832 The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
835 *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
837 These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
838 anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
841 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
843 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
846 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
847 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
849 *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
851 Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
852 body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
855 *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
857 Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
858 everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
860 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
862 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
863 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
864 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
865 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
866 this variable locally.
868 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
870 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
871 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
872 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
873 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
874 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
876 *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
878 Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
879 would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
882 *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
884 Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
886 *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
888 This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
890 *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
892 This variable has no effect since August 2009.
894 *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
896 MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
897 end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
898 ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
899 ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
901 *** Removed comment-related filters
903 ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
904 ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
908 *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
910 ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
912 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
914 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
915 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
917 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
919 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
920 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
923 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
925 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
926 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
928 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
930 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
932 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
934 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
935 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
936 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
937 particular test failure was introduced.
939 *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
941 Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
942 the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as
943 well as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~
944 when ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
946 *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
948 New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
949 Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
951 *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
953 If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
954 ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~
957 *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
959 This helps spotting wrong links.
962 ** Incompatible changes
963 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
964 This may require two changes in user config.
966 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
967 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
968 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
970 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
972 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
973 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
974 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
976 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
977 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
979 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
983 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
985 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
987 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
988 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
989 option keywords like :html-include-style.
991 So you need to replace
993 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
997 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
999 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
1000 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
1002 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
1004 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
1005 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
1006 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
1008 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
1009 the other optional arguments accordingly.
1011 *** Export back-ends are now structures
1013 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
1014 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
1015 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
1018 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
1020 ** Important bugfixes
1022 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
1023 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
1025 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
1027 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
1028 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
1029 separator starting a TOTO match string.
1032 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
1034 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
1036 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
1038 - Support SVG images
1039 - Support for .pgf files
1040 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
1041 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
1042 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
1043 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
1044 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
1045 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
1046 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
1048 *** New functions for paragraph motion
1050 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
1051 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
1052 in a paragraph-like way.
1054 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1056 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
1057 dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
1058 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
1059 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
1060 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
1062 *** Anonymous export back-ends
1064 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
1065 which can then be passed to export functions like
1066 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
1068 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
1069 registering a new back-end.
1071 *** New agenda fortnight view
1073 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
1074 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
1077 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
1079 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
1080 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
1082 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
1083 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
1084 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
1086 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
1087 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
1089 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
1090 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
1091 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
1092 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
1093 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
1096 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
1098 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
1100 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
1102 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
1104 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
1106 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
1108 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
1110 If you set this to the following
1112 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
1114 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
1116 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
1118 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
1120 ** New contributed packages
1122 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
1123 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
1126 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
1127 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
1131 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
1133 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
1134 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
1135 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
1136 the same with example blocks.
1138 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
1145 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
1147 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
1150 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
1151 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
1152 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
1154 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
1155 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
1156 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
1157 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
1158 detailed explanations.
1160 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
1161 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
1162 function has been called already.
1164 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
1167 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
1169 ** Incompatible changes
1171 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
1173 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
1175 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
1176 you will have to update them.
1178 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
1180 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
1181 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
1183 **** New export engine
1185 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
1186 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
1187 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
1188 /all/ export back-ends.
1190 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
1191 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
1192 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
1193 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
1194 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
1196 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
1197 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
1199 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
1200 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
1201 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
1202 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
1204 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
1206 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
1208 should now be written
1210 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
1212 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
1213 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
1214 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
1216 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
1218 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
1220 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
1223 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
1224 remember templates into capture templates.
1226 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
1228 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
1229 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
1231 **** Note for third-party developers
1233 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
1234 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
1235 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
1237 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
1240 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
1242 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
1243 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
1244 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
1246 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
1247 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
1248 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
1251 - org-colview-xemacs.el
1252 - org-mac-message.el
1258 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
1259 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
1260 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
1262 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
1263 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
1265 ** New packages in core
1267 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
1269 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
1271 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
1273 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
1275 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
1277 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
1278 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
1280 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
1282 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
1284 ** New packages in contrib
1286 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
1288 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
1290 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
1293 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
1295 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
1296 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
1298 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
1301 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
1303 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
1305 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
1307 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
1309 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
1310 for starting headlines.
1312 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
1314 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
1315 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
1316 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
1317 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
1319 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
1321 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
1323 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
1325 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
1326 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
1329 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
1330 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
1333 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
1335 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
1336 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
1339 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
1340 conversion from Org files to groff.
1342 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
1344 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
1346 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
1348 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
1349 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
1356 **** New export generic options
1358 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
1359 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
1361 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
1363 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
1364 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
1365 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
1366 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
1368 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
1369 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
1370 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
1371 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
1372 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
1373 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
1374 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
1375 contains time-stamps.
1377 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
1378 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
1379 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
1381 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
1383 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
1385 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
1387 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
1389 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
1390 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
1391 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
1392 *** Structure editing
1394 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
1395 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
1397 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
1398 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
1400 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
1402 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
1403 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
1404 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
1405 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
1408 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
1410 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
1411 _words__= will preserve markup.
1413 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
1415 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
1416 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
1417 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
1419 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
1421 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
1422 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
1424 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
1426 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
1427 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
1428 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
1429 forward and backward.
1431 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
1432 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
1434 Now Org will sort this list
1436 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
1437 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
1441 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
1442 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
1444 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
1445 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
1446 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
1448 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
1449 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
1450 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
1452 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
1455 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
1457 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
1458 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
1459 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
1461 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
1463 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
1464 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
1465 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
1466 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
1468 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
1470 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
1471 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
1472 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
1473 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
1474 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
1476 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
1478 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
1479 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
1480 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
1482 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
1483 *** Scheduled/deadline
1485 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
1487 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
1488 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
1489 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
1490 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
1492 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
1493 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
1494 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
1495 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
1497 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
1498 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
1499 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
1500 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
1501 control this globally or per agenda.
1503 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
1505 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
1507 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
1509 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
1510 *** Calendar, diary and appts
1512 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
1514 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
1515 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
1516 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
1518 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1519 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
1520 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
1522 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
1523 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
1525 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
1528 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
1530 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
1531 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
1532 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
1534 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
1536 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
1537 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
1538 only show their description, not the full links.
1541 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
1543 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
1544 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
1545 want to build a list of appointments.
1547 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
1548 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
1550 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
1552 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
1554 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
1555 time value (i.e. appointments).
1557 **** New agenda sorting strategies
1559 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
1561 | Strategy | Explanations |
1562 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
1563 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
1564 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
1565 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
1566 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
1567 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
1568 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
1569 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
1570 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
1571 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
1572 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
1574 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
1576 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
1577 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
1578 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
1580 These new options are available:
1582 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
1583 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
1584 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
1585 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
1587 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
1588 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
1589 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
1591 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
1592 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
1593 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
1594 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
1595 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
1596 non-tagged headlines.
1598 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
1600 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
1601 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
1602 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
1603 that take only =N= minutes.
1605 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
1607 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
1608 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
1609 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
1611 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
1613 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
1614 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
1616 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
1618 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
1619 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
1621 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
1624 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
1626 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
1627 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
1628 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
1630 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
1631 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
1633 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
1635 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
1636 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
1638 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
1640 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
1642 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
1643 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
1646 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
1648 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
1649 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
1650 asks for a confirmation.
1652 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
1654 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
1655 the mark of the entry at point.
1657 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
1658 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
1660 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
1662 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
1663 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
1666 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
1668 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
1669 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
1671 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
1673 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
1674 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
1676 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
1678 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
1679 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
1680 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
1681 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
1683 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1685 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
1686 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
1687 repeated beyond the current deadline.
1689 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
1691 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
1692 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
1693 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
1694 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
1696 Read the full docstring for details.
1698 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
1700 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
1703 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
1706 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
1708 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
1709 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
1712 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
1714 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
1715 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
1717 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
1719 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1720 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
1721 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
1722 check against the name of the buffer.
1725 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
1726 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
1727 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
1730 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
1731 agenda views, and for filtering.
1733 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
1737 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
1739 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
1740 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
1741 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
1743 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
1744 as if the protocol was not known.
1746 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
1748 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
1750 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
1751 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
1752 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
1755 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
1757 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
1758 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
1759 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
1761 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
1763 When storing a link to a headline like
1765 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
1767 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
1768 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
1769 there is no description.
1772 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
1774 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
1775 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
1776 those other formulas.
1778 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
1780 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
1781 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
1782 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
1785 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
1787 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
1788 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
1789 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
1792 **** New lookup functions
1794 There are now three lookup functions:
1796 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
1797 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
1798 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
1800 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
1801 *** Startup keywords
1803 These new startup keywords are now available:
1805 | Startup keyword | Option |
1806 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1807 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
1808 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
1809 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1810 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
1811 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
1812 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1813 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
1814 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
1818 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
1820 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
1821 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
1822 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
1823 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
1825 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
1827 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
1828 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
1829 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1832 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1833 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1835 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1837 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1838 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1840 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1842 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1843 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1844 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1846 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1847 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1848 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1849 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1850 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1851 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1852 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1855 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1857 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1859 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1861 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1862 same target than the block at point.
1864 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1866 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1867 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1868 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1870 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1871 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1874 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1876 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1877 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1878 manual for a usage example.
1880 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1882 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1883 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1884 collecting blocks for tangling.
1886 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1887 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1889 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1890 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1891 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1892 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1894 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1895 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.

1927 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
1929 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1931 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1933 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1935 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1936 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1937 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1938 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1939 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1940 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1941 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1942 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1944 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
1946 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
1947 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
1949 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1951 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1952 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1953 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1957 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1959 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1960 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1963 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1964 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1965 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1966 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1967 agenda type to this variable.
1969 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1972 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1973 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1974 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1975 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1977 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1979 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1980 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1981 invisible) blocked tasks.
1983 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1985 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1986 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1988 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1990 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1991 ** No GPL manual anymore
1993 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1994 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1996 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1998 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
2000 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
2001 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
2002 in most environments.
2006 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
2008 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
2010 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2011 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
2014 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
2015 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
2016 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
2019 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/

2039 ** New package and Babel language
2041 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
2043 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
2045 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
2046 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
2048 ** Incompatible changes
2050 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
2051 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
2053 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
2056 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
2057 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
2058 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
2060 ** New features and user-visible changes
2064 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
2065 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
2066 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
2067 core and many core functions rely on this package.
2069 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
2070 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
2072 See the docstrings for more details.
2074 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
2075 on =org-element.el=.
2077 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
2079 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
2080 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
2081 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
2082 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
2084 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
2086 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
2087 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
2088 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
2089 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
2091 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
2093 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
2095 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
2097 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
2100 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
2101 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
2103 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
2104 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
2105 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
2108 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
2111 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
2112 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
2113 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
2115 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
2116 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
2117 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
2122 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
2124 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
2125 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
2126 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
2127 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
2129 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
2130 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
2131 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
2132 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
2133 generating new ones.
2135 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
2138 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
2140 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
2141 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
2144 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2145 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
2146 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
2149 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
2150 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
2151 details on how to use this.
2153 **** Changes in bulk actions
2155 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
2156 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
2158 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
2159 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
2160 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
2161 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
2162 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
2164 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
2165 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
2167 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
2168 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
2171 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
2173 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
2175 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
2177 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
2178 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
2180 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
2182 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
2183 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
2184 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
2185 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
2188 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
2190 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
2193 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
2194 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
2195 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
2196 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
2197 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
2200 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
2202 See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
2204 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
2206 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
2207 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
2208 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
2209 filters and category filters.
2211 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
2212 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
2215 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
2216 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
2217 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
2222 **** Inserting links
2224 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
2225 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
2226 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
2229 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
2230 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
2231 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
2232 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
2234 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
2237 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
2239 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
2240 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
2241 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
2242 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
2244 **** New link type =help=
2246 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
2248 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
2249 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
2250 you go back to the same buffer.
2252 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
2254 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
2255 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
2258 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
2260 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
2262 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
2264 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
2266 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
2268 **** RET now follows time stamps links
2272 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
2274 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
2275 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
2276 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
2277 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
2279 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
2281 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
2282 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
2283 all headlines in the region.
2285 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
2287 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
2289 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
2290 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
2292 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
2294 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
2296 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
2298 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
2300 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
2302 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
2303 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
2304 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
2309 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
2311 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
2313 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
2315 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
2316 clocked entry, if any.
2318 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
2320 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
2322 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
2324 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
2325 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
2328 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
2329 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
2330 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
2334 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
2336 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
2339 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
2341 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
2342 cells in clockreport.
2344 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
2345 time cells in clockreport.
2348 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
2350 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
2351 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
2353 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
2354 in the mode line and/or frame title.
2356 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
2357 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
2358 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
2359 space in the frame title.
2363 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
2365 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
2366 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
2367 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
2368 don't want to see temporarily.
2370 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
2372 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
2374 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
2376 There are these new entities:
2378 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
2379 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
2380 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
2381 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
2382 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
2383 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
2385 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
2386 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
2387 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
2389 The face is back to a normal height.
2393 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
2394 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
2396 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
2397 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
2399 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
2401 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
2402 block will use its value as the column format.
2404 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
2406 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
2408 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
2410 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
2412 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
2413 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
2414 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
2415 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
2417 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
2421 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
2423 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
2425 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
2427 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
2429 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
2430 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
2431 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
2433 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
2435 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
2436 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
2437 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
2441 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
2443 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
2444 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
2445 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
2446 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
2448 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
2450 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
2451 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
2454 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2455 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
2456 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
2459 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
2460 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
2461 more details on how to use this.
2463 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
2464 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
2466 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
2467 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
2470 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
2472 See the manual for more explanations.
2474 **** More control over empty lines
2476 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
2477 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
2480 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
2482 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
2486 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
2488 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
2489 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
2490 available) to print beautiful tables.
2492 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
2494 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
2495 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
2498 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
2500 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
2501 in the #+DATE option.
2503 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
2505 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
2507 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
2508 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
2510 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
2511 More languages are always welcome.
2513 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
2515 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
2516 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
2518 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
2519 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
2520 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
2521 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
2522 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
2523 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
2525 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
2526 to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
2530 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
2532 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
2535 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
2537 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
2538 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
2540 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
2542 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
2544 It used to exports the results of the code.
2548 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
2549 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
2551 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
2552 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
2554 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
2556 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
2557 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
2558 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
2560 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
2561 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
2563 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
2564 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
2565 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
2568 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
2570 This will increment the effort value.
2572 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
2574 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
2576 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
2577 attach symbolic links.
2579 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
2581 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
2583 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
2584 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
2586 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
2588 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
2590 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
2591 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
2592 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
2594 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
2596 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
2597 all top level list items.
2599 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
2601 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
2603 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
2604 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
2606 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
2608 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
2610 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
2611 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
2612 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
2613 first headline in the region.
2615 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
2617 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
2620 ** Important bug fixes
2622 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
2624 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
2625 perform completion with meaningful values.
2627 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
2629 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
2630 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
2631 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
2633 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
2634 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
2636 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
2637 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
2640 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
2641 the code and the license to your needs.
2643 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
2644 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
2648 ** Incompatible changes
2650 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
2652 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
2654 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
2656 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
2657 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
2658 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
2659 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
2662 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
2664 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
2665 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
2666 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
2668 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
2670 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
2671 =org-agenda-span= instead.
2673 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
2675 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
2677 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
2678 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
2679 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
2680 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
2681 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
2683 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
2684 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
2685 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
2686 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
2687 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
2688 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
2690 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
2691 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
2692 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
2695 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
2698 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
2699 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
2700 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
2701 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
2703 The two new variables are:
2705 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
2706 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
2707 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
2708 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
2709 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
2710 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
2711 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
2713 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
2714 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
2717 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
2720 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
2721 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
2722 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
2723 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
2725 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
2726 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
2727 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
2728 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
2731 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
2732 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
2733 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
2734 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
2735 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
2736 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
2739 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
2740 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
2741 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
2742 applies to the following packages:
2760 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
2761 you are using, you can remove it from
2762 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
2763 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
2766 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
2767 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
2768 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
2769 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
2770 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
2773 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
2775 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
2776 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
2777 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
2780 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
2782 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
2784 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
2786 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
2788 ** Important new features
2790 *** New Org to ODT exporter
2792 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
2794 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
2795 for more information on how to customize it.
2797 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
2799 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
2800 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
2801 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
2802 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
2804 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
2805 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
2806 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
2808 To switch over to the new system:
2812 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
2814 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
2815 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
2816 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
2817 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
2818 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
2820 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
2822 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
2825 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
2828 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
2830 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2831 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2832 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2833 with using both system in parallel.
2837 *** New Org libraries
2838 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2840 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2842 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2844 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2846 To use, put the following in your init file:
2849 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2852 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2853 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2854 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2855 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2856 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2857 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2858 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2859 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2860 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2863 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2865 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2866 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2868 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2870 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2871 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2872 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2875 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2876 call function to do something special with text links.
2878 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2880 **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
2882 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2883 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2884 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2887 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2889 Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
2891 *** New Babel libraries
2893 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2894 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2895 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2896 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2897 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2898 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2899 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2901 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2905 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2907 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2908 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2909 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2910 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2911 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2912 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2914 The key new functions are
2916 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2917 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2918 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2920 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2921 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2923 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2924 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2926 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2927 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2929 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2931 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2932 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2933 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2935 **** Modified link escaping
2937 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2939 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2940 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2941 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2942 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2945 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2946 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2947 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2948 : percent escaped links are solved.
2950 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2952 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2954 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2955 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2957 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2959 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2961 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2962 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2963 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2964 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2965 string to be executed.
2967 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2968 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2972 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2973 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2976 Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
2980 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2982 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2983 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2984 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2985 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2987 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2988 will work on the current entry.
2990 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2991 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2993 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2995 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2997 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
3000 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
3001 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
3006 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
3008 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
3009 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
3010 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
3012 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
3014 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
3015 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
3016 entries using a function.
3018 Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
3019 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
3020 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
3022 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
3024 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
3025 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
3026 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
3028 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
3030 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
3031 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
3032 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
3033 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
3034 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
3035 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
3037 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
3041 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
3043 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
3044 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
3046 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
3047 docstring of these variable for details about available
3050 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
3051 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
3052 formatting string will insert a string.
3054 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
3056 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
3057 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
3058 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
3059 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
3060 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
3061 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
3062 C-e u=, respectively.
3064 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
3065 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
3066 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
3067 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
3068 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
3071 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
3073 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
3074 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
3076 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
3078 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
3079 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
3081 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
3083 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
3084 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
3085 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
3086 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
3087 section]] in the manual for more details.
3089 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
3090 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
3091 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
3096 **** Refile targets can now be cached
3098 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
3099 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
3100 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
3101 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
3102 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
3104 **** New logging support for refiling
3106 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
3107 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
3110 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
3114 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
3116 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
3120 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
3122 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
3123 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
3125 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
3127 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
3128 the displayed in the buffer.
3130 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
3132 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
3134 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
3135 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
3137 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
3138 |--------+--------+---------|
3139 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
3140 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
3142 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
3145 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
3148 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
3150 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
3152 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
3153 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
3160 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
3161 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
3164 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
3166 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
3168 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
3169 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
3171 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
3175 **** Improved handling of lists
3177 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
3179 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
3180 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
3181 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
3184 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
3185 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
3186 counters like [@c] or [@W].
3188 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
3189 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
3190 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
3191 `org-list-export-context'.
3193 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
3194 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
3195 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
3197 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
3198 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
3199 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
3200 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
3201 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
3203 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
3204 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
3205 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
3207 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
3209 *** Inline display of linked images
3211 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
3212 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
3213 that have no description part will be inlined.
3215 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
3217 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
3218 from 1, you can now do it like this:
3220 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
3222 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
3224 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
3225 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
3226 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
3227 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
3228 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
3229 into account all header arguments, and variables.
3231 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
3232 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
3233 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
3236 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
3237 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
3238 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
3239 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
3240 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
3241 properties or in tables.
3243 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
3244 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
3245 names, and rownames across all languages.
3247 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
3249 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
3251 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
3252 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
3253 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
3255 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
3257 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
3258 request by Scott Otterson.
3260 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
3262 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
3263 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
3264 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
3265 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
3266 superscripts, see the variable
3267 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
3269 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
3271 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
3273 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
3274 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
3275 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
3276 following new faces:
3278 =org-document-title=
3280 =org-document-info-keyword=
3282 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
3283 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
3285 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
3287 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
3289 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
3290 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
3291 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
3292 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
3293 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
3294 property is affected by this setting.
3296 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
3297 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
3299 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
3301 Requested by Michael Brand.
3303 **** Better level cycling function
3305 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
3306 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
3307 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
3308 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
3310 **** Adaptive filling
3312 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
3313 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
3314 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
3315 comments to be filled correctly.
3317 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
3319 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
3321 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
3323 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
3325 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
3326 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
3328 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
3332 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
3334 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
3335 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
3336 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
3337 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
3339 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
3341 **** Localized clock tables
3343 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
3344 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
3345 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
3346 available translated strings.
3348 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
3350 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
3351 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
3352 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
3353 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
3355 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
3357 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
3359 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
3360 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
3361 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
3362 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
3365 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
3369 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
3371 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
3372 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
3374 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
3376 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
3378 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
3379 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
3380 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
3383 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
3386 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
3388 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
3389 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
3394 org-table-current-line
3398 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
3400 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
3401 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
3404 This was requested by Tom.
3406 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
3408 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
3409 example by viewing from the agenda.
3411 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
