12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
14 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
15 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
17 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
18 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
19 *** Properties drawers syntax changes
20 Properties drawers are now required to be located right after
21 a headline and its planning line, when applicable.
23 It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
24 logged before the property drawer. The following function will repair
27 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
28 (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
29 "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
30 Ignore non Org buffers."
31 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
33 (goto-char (point-min))
34 (let ((case-fold-search t)
35 (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
36 (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
40 (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
42 (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
44 (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
45 (when (and (< (point) end)
46 (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
48 (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)))
49 (insert (delete-and-extract-region
51 (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
52 (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
54 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
55 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
56 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
58 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
59 docstring for more information.
60 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
61 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
62 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
63 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
65 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
66 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
67 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
68 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
69 accessible from the export dispatcher.
71 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
72 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
75 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
76 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
77 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
78 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
79 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
80 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
81 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
82 this variable locally.
83 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
84 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
85 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
86 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
87 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
88 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
90 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
91 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
92 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
93 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
94 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
95 possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
97 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
98 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
99 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
100 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
102 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
103 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
104 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
105 ~org-drawers~ variable.
106 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
107 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
109 *** New option in ASCII export
110 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
111 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
112 *** New blocks in ASCII export
113 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
114 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
115 *** More back-end specific publishing options
116 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
117 increased. See manual for details.
118 *** Export inline source blocks
119 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
120 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
121 in the output, depending on the parameters.
122 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
123 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
124 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
125 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
126 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
127 more features. See docstring for details.
128 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
129 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
130 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
131 *** Improve radio tables
132 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
133 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
134 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
135 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
136 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
137 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
138 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
139 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
140 source blocks exported by the minted package.
141 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
142 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
143 would throw an error. A new variable
144 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
145 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
146 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
148 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
150 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
151 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
152 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
153 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
154 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
155 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
156 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
157 now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
158 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
159 *** Export unnumbered headlines
160 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
161 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
162 property is inherited by children.
164 *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
165 ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
166 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
167 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
168 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
169 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
170 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
171 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
173 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
174 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
175 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
176 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
177 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
178 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
179 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
180 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
181 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
182 particular test failure was introduced.
185 ** Incompatible changes
186 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
187 This may require two changes in user config.
189 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
190 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
191 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
193 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
195 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
196 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
197 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
199 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
200 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
202 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
206 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
208 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
210 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
211 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
212 option keywords like :html-include-style.
214 So you need to replace
216 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
220 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
222 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
223 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
225 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
227 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
228 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
229 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
231 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
232 the other optional arguments accordingly.
234 *** Export back-ends are now structures
236 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
237 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
238 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
241 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
243 ** Important bugfixes
245 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
246 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
248 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
250 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
251 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
252 separator starting a TOTO match string.
255 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
257 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
259 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
262 - Support for .pgf files
263 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
264 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
265 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
266 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
267 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
268 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
269 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
271 *** New functions for paragraph motion
273 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
274 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
275 in a paragraph-like way.
277 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
279 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
280 dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
281 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
282 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
283 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
285 *** Anonymous export back-ends
287 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
288 which can then be passed to export functions like
289 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
291 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
292 registering a new back-end.
294 *** New agenda fortnight view
296 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
297 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
300 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
302 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
303 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
305 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
306 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
307 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
309 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
310 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
312 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
313 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
314 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
315 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
316 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
319 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
321 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
323 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
325 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
327 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
329 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
331 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
333 If you set this to the following
335 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
337 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
339 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
341 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
343 ** New contributed packages
345 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
346 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
349 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
350 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
354 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
356 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
357 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
358 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
359 the same with example blocks.
361 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
368 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
370 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
373 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
374 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
375 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
377 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
378 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
379 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
380 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
381 detailed explanations.
383 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
384 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
385 function has been called already.
387 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
390 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
392 ** Incompatible changes
394 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
396 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
398 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
399 you will have to update them.
401 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
403 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
404 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
406 **** New export engine
408 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
409 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
410 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
411 /all/ export back-ends.
413 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
414 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
415 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
416 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
417 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
419 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
420 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
422 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
423 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
424 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
425 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
427 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
429 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
431 should now be written
433 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
435 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
436 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
437 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
439 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
441 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
443 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
446 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
447 remember templates into capture templates.
449 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
451 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
452 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
454 **** Note for third-party developers
456 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
457 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
458 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
460 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
463 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
465 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
466 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
467 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
469 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
470 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
471 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
474 - org-colview-xemacs.el
481 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
482 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
483 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
485 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
486 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
488 ** New packages in core
490 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
492 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
494 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
496 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
498 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
500 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
501 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
503 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
505 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
507 ** New packages in contrib
509 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
511 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
513 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
516 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
518 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
519 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
521 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
524 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
526 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
528 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
530 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
532 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
533 for starting headlines.
535 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
537 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
538 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
539 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
540 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
542 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
544 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
546 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
548 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
549 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
552 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
553 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
556 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
558 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
559 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
562 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
563 conversion from Org files to groff.
565 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
567 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
569 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
571 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
572 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
579 **** New export generic options
581 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
582 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
584 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
586 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
587 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
588 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
589 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
591 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
592 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
593 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
594 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
595 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
596 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
597 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
598 contains time-stamps.
600 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
601 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
602 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
604 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
606 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
608 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
610 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
612 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
613 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
614 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
615 *** Structure editing
617 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
618 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
620 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
621 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
623 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
625 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
626 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
627 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
628 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
631 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
633 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
634 _words__= will preserve markup.
636 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
638 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
639 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
640 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
642 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
644 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
645 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
647 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
649 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
650 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
651 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
652 forward and backward.
654 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
655 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
657 Now Org will sort this list
659 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
660 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
664 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
665 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
667 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
668 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
669 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
671 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
672 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
673 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
675 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
678 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
680 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
681 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
682 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
684 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
686 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
687 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
688 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
689 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
691 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
693 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
694 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
695 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
696 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
697 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
699 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
701 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
702 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
703 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
705 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
706 *** Scheduled/deadline
708 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
710 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
711 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
712 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
713 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
715 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
716 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
717 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
718 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
720 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
721 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
722 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
723 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
724 control this globally or per agenda.
726 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
728 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
730 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
732 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
733 *** Calendar, diary and appts
735 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
737 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
738 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
739 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
741 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
742 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
743 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
745 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
746 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
748 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
751 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
753 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
754 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
755 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
757 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
759 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
760 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
761 only show their description, not the full links.
764 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
766 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
767 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
768 want to build a list of appointments.
770 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
771 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
773 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
775 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
777 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
778 time value (i.e. appointments).
780 **** New agenda sorting strategies
782 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
784 | Strategy | Explanations |
785 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
786 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
787 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
788 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
789 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
790 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
791 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
792 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
793 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
794 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
795 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
797 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
799 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
800 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
801 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
803 These new options are available:
805 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
806 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
807 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
808 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
810 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
811 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
812 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
814 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
815 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
816 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
817 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
818 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
819 non-tagged headlines.
821 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
823 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
824 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
825 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
826 that take only =N= minutes.
828 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
830 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
831 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
832 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
834 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
836 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
837 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
839 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
841 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
842 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
844 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
847 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
849 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
850 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
851 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
853 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
854 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
856 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
858 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
859 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
861 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
863 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
865 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
866 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
869 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
871 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
872 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
873 asks for a confirmation.
875 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
877 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
878 the mark of the entry at point.
880 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
881 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
883 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
885 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
886 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
889 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
891 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
892 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
894 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
896 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
897 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
899 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
901 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
902 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
903 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
904 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
906 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
908 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
909 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
910 repeated beyond the current deadline.
912 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
914 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
915 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
916 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
917 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
919 Read the full docstring for details.
921 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
923 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
926 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
929 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
931 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
932 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
935 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
937 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
938 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
940 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
942 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
943 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
944 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
945 check against the name of the buffer.
948 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
949 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
950 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
953 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
954 agenda views, and for filtering.
956 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
960 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
962 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
963 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
964 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
966 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
967 as if the protocol was not known.
969 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
971 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
973 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
974 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
975 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
978 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
980 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
981 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
982 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
984 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
986 When storing a link to a headline like
988 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
990 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
991 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
992 there is no description.
995 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
997 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
998 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
999 those other formulas.
1001 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
1003 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
1004 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
1005 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
1008 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
1010 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
1011 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
1012 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
1015 **** New lookup functions
1017 There are now three lookup functions:
1019 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
1020 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
1021 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
1023 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
1024 *** Startup keywords
1026 These new startup keywords are now available:
1028 | Startup keyword | Option |
1029 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1030 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
1031 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
1032 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1033 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
1034 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
1035 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1036 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
1037 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
1041 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
1043 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
1044 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
1045 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
1046 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
1048 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
1050 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
1051 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
1052 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1055 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1056 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1058 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1060 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1061 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1063 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1065 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1066 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1067 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1069 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1070 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1071 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1072 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1073 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1074 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1075 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1078 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1080 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1082 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1084 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1085 same target than the block at point.
1087 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1089 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1090 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1091 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1093 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1094 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1097 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1099 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1100 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1101 manual for a usage example.
1103 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1105 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1106 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1107 collecting blocks for tangling.
1109 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1110 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1112 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1113 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1114 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1115 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1117 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=

1150 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
1152 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1154 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1156 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1158 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1159 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1160 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1161 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1162 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1163 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1164 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1165 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1167 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:

1172 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1174 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1175 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1176 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1180 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1182 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1183 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1186 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1187 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1188 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1189 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1190 agenda type to this variable.
1192 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1195 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1196 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1197 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1198 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1200 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1202 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1203 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1204 invisible) blocked tasks.
1206 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1208 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1209 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1211 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1213 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1214 ** No GPL manual anymore
1216 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1217 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1219 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1221 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1223 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1224 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1225 in most environments.
1229 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1231 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1233 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1234 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
1237 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
1238 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
1239 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
1242 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/

1262 ** New package and Babel language
1264 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
1266 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
1268 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
1269 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
1271 ** Incompatible changes
1273 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
1274 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
1276 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
1279 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
1280 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
1281 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
1283 ** New features and user-visible changes
1287 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
1288 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
1289 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
1290 core and many core functions rely on this package.
1292 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
1293 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
1295 See the docstrings for more details.
1297 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
1298 on =org-element.el=.
1300 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
1302 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
1303 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
1304 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
1305 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
1307 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
1309 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
1310 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
1311 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
1312 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
1314 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
1316 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
1318 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
1320 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
1323 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
1324 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
1326 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
1327 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
1328 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
1331 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
1334 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
1335 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
1336 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
1338 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
1339 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
1340 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
1345 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
1347 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
1348 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
1349 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
1350 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
1352 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
1353 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
1354 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
1355 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
1356 generating new ones.
1358 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
1361 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1363 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1364 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
1367 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1368 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
1369 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
1372 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
1373 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
1374 details on how to use this.
1376 **** Changes in bulk actions
1378 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
1379 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
1381 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
1382 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
1383 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
1384 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
1385 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
1387 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
1388 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
1390 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
1391 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
1394 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
1396 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
1398 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
1400 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
1401 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
1403 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
1405 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
1406 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
1407 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
1408 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
1411 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1413 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
1416 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
1417 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
1418 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
1419 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
1420 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
1423 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
1425 See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
1427 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
1429 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
1430 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
1431 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
1432 filters and category filters.
1434 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
1435 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
1438 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
1439 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
1440 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
1445 **** Inserting links
1447 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
1448 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
1449 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
1452 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
1453 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
1454 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
1455 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
1457 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
1460 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
1462 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
1463 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
1464 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
1465 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
1467 **** New link type =help=
1469 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
1471 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
1472 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
1473 you go back to the same buffer.
1475 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
1477 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
1478 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
1481 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
1483 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
1485 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
1487 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
1489 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
1491 **** RET now follows time stamps links
1495 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
1497 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
1498 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
1499 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
1500 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
1502 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
1504 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
1505 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
1506 all headlines in the region.
1508 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
1510 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
1512 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
1513 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
1515 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
1517 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
1519 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
1521 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
1523 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
1525 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
1526 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
1527 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
1532 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
1534 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
1536 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
1538 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
1539 clocked entry, if any.
1541 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
1543 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
1545 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
1547 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
1548 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
1551 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
1552 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
1553 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
1557 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
1559 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
1562 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
1564 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
1565 cells in clockreport.
1567 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
1568 time cells in clockreport.
1571 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
1573 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
1574 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
1576 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
1577 in the mode line and/or frame title.
1579 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
1580 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
1581 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
1582 space in the frame title.
1586 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
1588 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
1589 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
1590 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
1591 don't want to see temporarily.
1593 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
1595 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
1597 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1599 There are these new entities:
1601 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
1602 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
1603 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
1604 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
1605 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
1606 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
1608 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
1609 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
1610 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
1612 The face is back to a normal height.
1616 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
1617 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
1619 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
1620 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
1622 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
1624 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
1625 block will use its value as the column format.
1627 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
1629 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
1631 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
1633 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
1635 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
1636 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
1637 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
1638 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
1640 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
1644 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
1646 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
1648 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
1650 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
1652 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
1653 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
1654 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
1656 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
1658 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
1659 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
1660 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
1664 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
1666 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
1667 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
1668 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
1669 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
1671 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
1673 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1674 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
1677 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1678 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
1679 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
1682 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
1683 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
1684 more details on how to use this.
1686 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
1687 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
1689 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
1690 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
1693 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
1695 See the manual for more explanations.
1697 **** More control over empty lines
1699 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
1700 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
1703 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
1705 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
1709 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
1711 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
1712 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
1713 available) to print beautiful tables.
1715 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
1717 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
1718 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
1721 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
1723 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
1724 in the #+DATE option.
1726 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
1728 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
1730 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
1731 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
1733 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
1734 More languages are always welcome.
1736 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
1738 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
1739 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
1741 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
1742 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
1743 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
1744 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
1745 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
1746 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
1748 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
1749 to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
1753 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
1755 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
1758 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
1760 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
1761 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
1763 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
1765 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
1767 It used to exports the results of the code.
1771 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
1772 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
1774 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
1775 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
1777 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
1779 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
1780 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
1781 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
1783 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
1784 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
1786 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
1787 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
1788 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
1791 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
1793 This will increment the effort value.
1795 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
1797 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
1799 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
1800 attach symbolic links.
1802 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
1804 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
1806 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
1807 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
1809 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
1811 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
1813 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
1814 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
1815 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
1817 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
1819 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
1820 all top level list items.
1822 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
1824 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
1826 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
1827 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
1829 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
1831 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
1833 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
1834 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
1835 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
1836 first headline in the region.
1838 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
1840 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
1843 ** Important bug fixes
1845 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
1847 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
1848 perform completion with meaningful values.
1850 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
1852 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
1853 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
1854 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1856 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
1857 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
1859 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
1860 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
1863 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
1864 the code and the license to your needs.
1866 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
1867 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
1871 ** Incompatible changes
1873 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
1875 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
1877 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
1879 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
1880 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
1881 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
1882 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
1885 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
1887 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
1888 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
1889 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
1891 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
1893 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
1894 =org-agenda-span= instead.
1896 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
1898 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
1900 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
1901 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
1902 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
1903 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
1904 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
1906 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
1907 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
1908 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
1909 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
1910 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
1911 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
1913 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
1914 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
1915 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
1918 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
1921 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
1922 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
1923 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
1924 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
1926 The two new variables are:
1928 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
1929 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
1930 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
1931 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
1932 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
1933 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
1934 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
1936 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
1937 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
1940 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
1943 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
1944 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
1945 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
1946 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
1948 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
1949 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
1950 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
1951 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
1954 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
1955 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
1956 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
1957 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
1958 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
1959 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
1962 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
1963 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
1964 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
1965 applies to the following packages:
1983 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
1984 you are using, you can remove it from
1985 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
1986 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
1989 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
1990 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
1991 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
1992 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
1993 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
1996 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
1998 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
1999 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
2000 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
2003 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
2005 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
2007 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
2009 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
2011 ** Important new features
2013 *** New Org to ODT exporter
2015 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
2017 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
2018 for more information on how to customize it.
2020 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
2022 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
2023 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
2024 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
2025 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
2027 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
2028 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
2029 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
2031 To switch over to the new system:
2035 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
2037 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
2038 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
2039 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
2040 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
2041 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
2043 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
2045 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
2048 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
2051 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
2053 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2054 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2055 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2056 with using both system in parallel.
2060 *** New Org libraries
2061 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2063 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2065 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2067 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2069 To use, put the following in your init file:
2072 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2075 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2076 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2077 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2078 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2079 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2080 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2081 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2082 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2083 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2086 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2088 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2089 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2091 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2093 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2094 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2095 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2098 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2099 call function to do something special with text links.
2101 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2103 **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
2105 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2106 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2107 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2110 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2112 Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
2114 *** New Babel libraries
2116 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2117 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2118 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2119 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2120 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2121 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2122 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2124 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2128 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2130 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2131 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2132 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2133 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2134 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2135 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2137 The key new functions are
2139 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2140 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2141 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2143 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2144 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2146 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2147 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2149 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2150 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2152 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2154 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2155 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2156 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2158 **** Modified link escaping
2160 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2162 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2163 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2164 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2165 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2168 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2169 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2170 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2171 : percent escaped links are solved.
2173 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2175 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2177 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2178 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2180 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2182 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2184 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2185 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2186 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2187 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2188 string to be executed.
2190 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2191 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2195 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2196 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2199 Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
2203 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2205 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2206 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2207 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2208 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2210 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2211 will work on the current entry.
2213 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2214 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2216 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2218 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2220 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2223 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2224 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2229 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2231 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2232 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2233 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2235 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
2237 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
2238 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
2239 entries using a function.
2241 Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
2242 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
2243 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
2245 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
2247 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
2248 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
2249 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
2251 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
2253 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
2254 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
2255 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
2256 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
2257 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
2258 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
2260 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
2264 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
2266 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
2267 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
2269 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
2270 docstring of these variable for details about available
2273 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
2274 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
2275 formatting string will insert a string.
2277 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
2279 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
2280 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
2281 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
2282 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
2283 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
2284 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
2285 C-e u=, respectively.
2287 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
2288 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
2289 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
2290 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
2291 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
2294 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
2296 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
2297 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
2299 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
2301 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
2302 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
2304 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
2306 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
2307 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
2308 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
2309 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
2310 section]] in the manual for more details.
2312 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
2313 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
2314 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
2319 **** Refile targets can now be cached
2321 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
2322 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
2323 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
2324 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
2325 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
2327 **** New logging support for refiling
2329 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
2330 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
2333 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
2337 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
2339 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
2343 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
2345 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
2346 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
2348 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
2350 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
2351 the displayed in the buffer.
2353 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
2355 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
2357 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
2358 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
2360 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
2361 |--------+--------+---------|
2362 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
2363 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
2365 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
2368 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
2371 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
2373 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
2375 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
2376 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
2383 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
2384 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
2387 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
2389 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
2391 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
2392 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
2394 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
2398 **** Improved handling of lists
2400 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
2402 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
2403 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
2404 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
2407 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
2408 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
2409 counters like [@c] or [@W].
2411 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
2412 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
2413 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
2414 `org-list-export-context'.
2416 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
2417 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
2418 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
2420 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
2421 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
2422 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
2423 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
2424 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
2426 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
2427 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
2428 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
2430 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
2432 *** Inline display of linked images
2434 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
2435 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
2436 that have no description part will be inlined.
2438 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
2440 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
2441 from 1, you can now do it like this:
2443 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
2445 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
2447 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
2448 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
2449 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
2450 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
2451 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
2452 into account all header arguments, and variables.
2454 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
2455 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
2456 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
2459 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
2460 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
2461 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
2462 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
2463 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
2464 properties or in tables.
2466 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
2467 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
2468 names, and rownames across all languages.
2470 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
2472 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
2474 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
2475 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
2476 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
2478 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
2480 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
2481 request by Scott Otterson.
2483 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
2485 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
2486 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
2487 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
2488 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
2489 superscripts, see the variable
2490 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
2492 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
2494 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
2496 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
2497 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
2498 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
2499 following new faces:
2501 =org-document-title=
2503 =org-document-info-keyword=
2505 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
2506 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
2508 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
2510 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
2512 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
2513 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
2514 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
2515 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
2516 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
2517 property is affected by this setting.
2519 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
2520 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
2522 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
2524 Requested by Michael Brand.
2526 **** Better level cycling function
2528 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
2529 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
2530 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
2531 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
2533 **** Adaptive filling
2535 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
2536 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
2537 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
2538 comments to be filled correctly.
2540 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
2542 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
2544 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
2546 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
2548 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
2549 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
2551 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
2555 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
2557 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
2558 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
2559 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
2560 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
2562 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
2564 **** Localized clock tables
2566 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
2567 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
2568 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
2569 available translated strings.
2571 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
2573 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
2574 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
2575 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
2576 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
2578 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
2580 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
2582 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
2583 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
2584 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
2585 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
2588 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
2592 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
2594 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
2595 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
2597 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
2599 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
2601 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
2602 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
2603 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
2606 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
2609 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
2611 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
2612 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
2617 org-table-current-line
2621 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
2623 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
2624 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
2627 This was requested by Tom.
2629 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
2631 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
2632 example by viewing from the agenda.
2634 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
