49 The variable `org-log-done' is now less complex.
50 </li>
51 <li>
52 The in-buffer settings for logging have changed. Some
53 options no longer exists, some new ones have been added.
55 </li>
56 </ul></div>
67 <p>
68 There is now more control over which state changes are being
69 logged in what way. Please read carefully the corresponding
70 sections in the manual. Basically:
71 </p>
72 <ul>
73 <li>
74 The variable `org-log-done' has been simplified, it no
75 longer influences logging state changes and clocking out.
76 </li>
77 <li>
78 There is a new variable for triggering note-taking when
79 clocking out an item: `org-log-note-clock-out'.
80 </li>
81 <li>
82 Logging of state changes now has to be configured on a
83 pre-keyword basis, either in `org-todo-keywords' or in the
84 #+TODO in-buffer setting.
85 </li>
86 <li>
87 These per-keyword settings allow more control. For example
88 <pre>
89 WAIT(w@) Record a note when entering this state.
90 WAIT(w!) Record a timestamp when entering this state.
91 WAIT(w@/!) Recore a note when entering and timestamp
92 when leaving this state. This is great for
93 getting a record when switching *back* from
94 WAIT to TODO.
95 WAIT(/!) Record a timestamp when leaving this state.
96 Here we not even define a fast access
97 character, but just the logging stuff.
98 </pre>

102 </ul></div>
108 <ul>
109 <li>
110 M-RET no longer brakes a line in the middle, it will make a
111 new line ofter the current or (if cursor is at the beginning
112 of the line) before the current line.
114 </li>
115 <li>
116 RET, when executed in a headline after the main text and
117 before the tags will leave the tags in the current line and
118 create a new line below the current one.
120 </li>

130 Bug fixes, in particular the long-hunted bug about wrong window
131 positions after pressing SPACE in the agenda. Hopefully this

152 The use of prefix arguments for the commands `org-remember'
153 and `org-refile' has been normalized.
155 </li>
156 <li>
157 The clock can now safely be used in a remember buffer.
159 </li>
160 <li>
161 The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'

230 The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'

232 `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead.
234 </li>
235 </ul></div>
246 <ul>
247 <li>
248 The use of prefix arguments for the commands `org-remember'
249 and `org-refile' has been normalized:
251 <ul>
252 <li>
253 when called without prefix argument, the command does its
254 normal job, starting a remember note or refiling a tree.
256 </li>
257 <li>
258 when called with a single C-u prefix, these commands can be
259 used to select a target location and to jump there. In
260 the case of `org-remember', you will be prompted for a
261 template and then Emacs jumps to the default target
262 location or this template. In the case of `org-refile',
263 you select a location from the refile target list and jump
264 there.
266 </li>
267 <li>
268 when called with two prefixes (`C-u C-u'), the command
269 jumps to the location last used for storing a note or a
270 moved tree.
272 </li>
273 </ul></li>
274 <li>
275 When the clock is running inside an remember buffer, storing
276 the remember buffer with `C-c C-c' will automatically clock
277 out. This was inspired by a request by Rainer Stengle.
279 </li>
280 <li>
281 The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'
282 introduced only in 5.19 is already obsolete. Please use
283 `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead. This new
284 variable does select the interface that is used to select
285 the target for a remember note in an interactive way.
286 Possible values are:
288 <ul>
289 <li>
290 `outline': Use an outline of the document to select a
291 location.
292 </li>
293 <li>
294 `outline-path-completion': Use completion of an outline
295 path to select a location.
296 </li>
297 <li>
298 `refile': Offer the `org-refile-targets' as possible
299 targets.
301 </li>
302 </ul></li>
303 <li>
304 It is no longer necessary to update the refiling targets -
305 they are always current.
307 </li>
308 <li>
309 In `org-goto', typing characters now automatically starts
310 isearch from the beginning of the buffer. The isearch is
311 special also because it only matches in headline. This
312 goes some way toward saving org-goto from being removed
313 from Org-mode. Thanks to Piotr Zielinski for the code, and
314 sorry that it took me so long to put it in. If you prefer
315 to use single letters n,p,f,b,u,q for navigation as before,
316 configure the variable `org-goto-auto-isearch'.
318 </li>
319 <li>
320 Outline-path-completion is now available as an alternative
321 interface in the command `org-goto'. Please select the
322 default interface you'd like to use with the new variable
323 `org-goto-interface'. You can then select the alternative
324 interface with a prefix argument to `C-c C-j' (org-goto). I
325 am considering to make outline-path-completion the default
326 interface. Comments?
329 </li>
330 </ul></div>
336 <ul>
337 <li>
338 Checkboxes now work hierarchically. When a plain-list item
339 with a checkbox has children with checkboxes, the status of
340 the item's checkbox is calculated from the children, each
341 time a checkbox is toggled with C-c C-c. Thanks to Miguel
342 A. Figueroa-Villanueva for a patch to this effect.
344 </li>
345 <li>
346 There is a new variable `org-special-ctrl-k'. When set,
347 `C-k' will behave specially in headlines:
349 <ul>
350 <li>
351 When the cursor is at the beginning of a headline, kill
352 the entire line and possible the folded subtree below the
353 line.
354 </li>
355 <li>
356 When in the middle of the headline text, kill the
357 headline up to the tags.
358 </li>
359 <li>
360 When after the headline text, kill the tags.
362 </li>
363 </ul>
364 <p>This is following a proposal by Piotr Zielinski.
365 </p>
366 </li>
367 <li>
368 You can now also have a plain (as opposed to deadline or
369 scheduled) repeater timestamp in a task. Switching the task
370 to DONE will now also shift a plain time stamp. This was a
371 request by Austin Frank.
373 </li>
374 <li>
375 If an entry is clocked multiple times, it will now show up
376 several times in the agenda and timeline buffers, when
377 log-mode is on. This was a proposal by Jurgen Defurne.
379 </li>
380 <li>
382 parameter can be `day' or `week' and will result in separate
383 tables for each day or week in the requested time interval.
384 This was triggered by a proposal by Sacha Chua in her <a href="http://sachachua.com/wp/2007/12/30/clocking-time-with-emacs-org/">blog</a>.
386 </li>
387 <li>
388 A time-stamp with a repeater now no longer refers to the
390 today or the most recent match. This change makes sure that
391 overdue scheduled or deadline items never disappear from the
392 agenda. With the previous convention, an overdue scheduled
393 item would disappear. For example, a weekly item scheduled
394 for Sunday would appear as overdue until Wednesday, and the
395 suddenly disappear until next Sunday. Now the item will
396 show up as "Sched 7x" on Saturday. From Sunday on it will
397 be in the list as "Scheduled", i.e. old sins will be
398 forgiven. This follows a request by Warong, Dennis and
399 Bernt.
401 </li>
402 <li>
403 Archiving a subtree now creates an additional property,
405 outline tree to the archived entry, as it was in the
407 following hierarchy
409 <p>
410 <pre>
411 * Tasks
412 ** HOME
413 *** Garage
414 **** Fix the door
415 </pre>
416 </p>
417 <p>
418 will file is with the following property
419 </p>
420 <p>
421 <pre>
422 :ARCHIVE_PATH: Task/HOME/Garage
423 </pre>
424 </p>
425 <p>
426 Note that you can configure (i.e. limit) the information
427 that gets stored upon archiving with the variable
428 `org-archive-save-context-info'.

499 A new special column definition lists the sum of all CLOCK
500 entries in a subtree. For example
502 <p>
503 <pre>
505 </pre>
506 </p>
507 <p>
508 will allow you to compare estimated times (as given in the
509 Time_Estimate property) with the clocked times. This was a
510 request by Bernt Hansen.
511 </p>
512 </li>
513 <li>
514 Storing remember notes can now use the `org-refile'
515 interface instead of the `org-goto' interface (see the
516 variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive').
517 Nothing will change if the note is stored immediately after
519 have chosen (e.g. by pressing `C-u C-c C-c') to
520 interactively select the filing location (file and
521 headline), the refile interface will be used instead. I am
522 excited about this change, because the `org-goto' interface
523 is basically a failure, at least for this application. Note
524 that in any case the refile interface has to be configured
525 first by customizing `org-refile-targets'.
527 </li>
528 <li>
529 Notes inserted with remember now remove any whitespace
530 before and after the note before being pasted, so that there
531 will be no empty lines inserted together with the note. We
532 could invent special syntax in remember templates to allow
533 creating empty lines before a note - is there anyone who'd
534 want this?
536 </li>
537 <li>
538 Moving subtrees now folds all siblings of the subtree. This
539 is the only reasonably simple way I could find to avoid the
540 reported inconsistencies in the folding state of the outline
541 tree after moving entries. There are reasons to like this
542 new behavior, because it easily visualizes where the tree is
543 located after the move. Still, not everyone might be happy
544 with this. Massive complaining would be needed to make me
545 fix this.
547 </li>
548 <li>
549 New variable `org-agenda-todo-keyword-format' to specify the
550 width of the TODO keyword field in the agenda display. Use
551 it to get things to line up better. This was a proposal by
552 Rainer Stengele.
554 </li>
555 <li>
556 If a link description inserted with `C-c C-l' contains
557 brackets, the brackets will now be converted into curly
558 braces. This looks similar enough. Supporting brackets in
559 link descriptions is, for technical reasons too long to
560 explain here, complex.
562 </li>
563 <li>
564 The new option `org-clock-in-switch-to-state' can be set to
565 a TODO state that will be enforced when the clock is started
566 on an entry. This follows an idea by Sacha Chua.
568 </li>
569 <li>
570 The EXPORT_FILE_NAME property may now also be an absolute
571 file name, and it may contain abbreviations like "~" for the
572 users home directory. This was requested by Adam Spiers.

607 When cutting, pasting, or moving subtrees and items, the
609 part and will be moved with it. There is one exception to
610 this rule: If the first child is moved down (or,
611 equivalently, the second is moved up), the amount of empty
614 sounds complicated, but it allows to have extra empty space
615 before the first child and still have good behavior of the
616 subtree motion commands.
618 </li>
619 <li>
620 Plain lists items work the same.
622 </li>
623 </ul>
624 <p>I believe we have finally nailed this one. Thanks to Daniel
625 Pittman for bring this up again and to Eric Schulte for
627 that really count.
628 </p>
629 <p>
630 This change was non-trivial, please give it a good test and
631 let me know about any problems.
632 </p>
633 </div>
639 <ul>
640 <li>
641 The new command `org-remember-goto-last-stored' will jump
642 to the location of the remember note stored most recently.
643 If you have `org-remember' on a key like `C-c r', then you
644 can go to the location with a double prefix arg: `C-u C-u
645 C-c r'. This was a proposal by Rainer Stengele.
647 </li>
648 <li>
649 Template items that are being prompted for can now specify
650 a default value and a completion table. Furthermore,
651 previous inputs at a specific prompt are captured in a
652 history variable. For example:
654 <p>
655 <pre>
656 %^{Author|Roald Dahl|Thomas Mann|Larry Niven}
657 </pre>
658 </p>
659 <p>
660 will prompt for an author name. Pressing RET without
661 typing anything will select "Roald Dahl". Completion will
662 give you any of the three names. And a history will be
663 kept, so you can use the arrow keys to get to previous
664 input. The history is tied to the prompt. By using the
665 same prompt in different templates, you can build a history
666 across templates. The ideas for this came from proposals
667 by Bastien and Adam.
668 </p>
669 </li>
670 <li>
671 When a remember template contains the string `%!', the note
672 will be stored immediately after all template parts have
673 been filled in, so you don't even have to press `C-c
674 C-c'. The was a proposal by Adam Spiers.
676 </li>
677 </ul></div>

684 <li>
685 `org-refile-targets' has a new parameter to specify a
686 maximum level for target selection. Thanks to Wanrong Lin
687 for this proposal.
689 </li>
690 <li>
691 When the new option `org-refile-use-outline-path' is set,
692 refile targets will be presented like a file path to the
693 completion interface: "level 1/level 2/level 3". This
694 may be the fastest interface yet to get to a certain
695 outline entry. Do we need to use this interface in other
696 places? Thanks to Jose Ruiz for this proposal.
698 </li>
699 </ul></div>
700 </div>
701 </div>
717 <p>
718 You can now permanently lock the agenda construction to a
719 certain scope, like a file or a subtree. So instead of
720 pressing "<" for each command in the agenda dispatcher, you
721 only once select a restriction scope. All subsequent agenda
722 commands will than respect this restriction. For example,
723 you can use this at work, to limit agendas to your work file
724 or tree, and at home to limit to the home file or tree. Or
725 you can use it during the day in order to focus in on certain
726 projects.
727 </p>
728 <p>
729 You select a scope with the command `C-c C-x <', which
730 restricts to the current subtree. When called with a `C-u'
731 prefix, the restriction is to the current file. You can also
732 make restrictions from the speedbar frame, see below.
733 </p>
734 <p>
735 When making a new restriction and an agenda window is
736 currently visible, it will immediately be updated to reflect
737 the new scope. TO if you like you can display an agenda view
738 and then watch it change in various scopes.
739 </p>
740 <p>
741 To get rid of the restriction, use the command "C-c C-x >".
743 in the dispatcher will disable the restriction lock and
744 select a new restriction.

747 Thanks to Rick Moynihan for triggering this development.

749 </div>
755 <ul>
756 <li>
757 Org-mode now supports Imenu. For example, with the setting
759 <p>
760 <pre>
761 (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
762 (lambda () 'imenu-add-to-menubar "Imenu"))
763 </pre>
764 </p>
765 <p>
766 a menu will be created in each Org-mode buffer that
768 depth of the menu can be set with the variable
769 `org-imenu-depth'.
770 </p>
771 </li>
772 <li>
773 org-mode now supports Speedbar. This means that you can
774 drill into the first and second level headlines of an
775 Org-mode file right from the speedbar frame.
777 </li>
778 <li>
779 You can set a restriction lock for the Org-mode agenda to a
780 file or a subtree directly from the speedbar frame. Just
781 press "<" with the cursor on an Org-mode file or subtree to
782 set the lock and immediately update the agenda if it is
783 visible. Use ">" to get rid of the lock again.

948 If you have customized the variable `org-emphasis-alist' or

950 canceling your customization and then adding it again.
952 </li>
953 <li>
954 I know that some people have defined their own private helper
955 functions to select a specific remember template, without being
956 prompted, like this:
958 <p>
959 <pre>
960 (defun my-remember-template-n ()
961 (interactive)
962 (org-remember ?n))
963 </pre>
964 </p>
965 <p>
966 You need to modify this. The character selecting the template
968 </p>
969 <p>
970 <pre>
971 (defun my-remember-template-n ()
972 (interactive)
973 (org-remember nil ?n))
974 </pre>
975 </p>
976 </li>
977 <li>
978 `C-c C-w' now refiles an entry. To get a sparse tree of
979 deadlines, use `C-c / d' instead.
981 </li>
982 </ul></div>
993 <ul>
994 <li>
995 New command `org-refile' to quickly move a note to a
996 different place. It is bound to `C-c C-w'. The foremost
997 application might be to put a note or task captured with
998 `remember' into the proper list or project. The command
999 offers a list of possible refiling targets for completion.
1000 These are headings under which the entry will be inserted
1001 as a subitem. By default, this will offer all top-level
1002 headings in the current buffer, but you can configure the
1003 variable `org-refile-targets' to get more complex
1004 definitions. For example:
1006 <p>
1007 <pre>
1008 (setq org-refile-targets '((nil . (:level . 2))))
1009 </pre>
1010 </p>
1011 <p>
1012 selects all level 2 headlines in the current buffer as
1013 targets. And
1014 </p>
1015 <p>
1016 <pre>
1017 (setq org-refile-targets
1018 '((org-agenda-files . (:tag . "refile"))))
1019 </pre>
1020 </p>
1021 <p>
1022 searches all agenda files and selects headlines that are
1023 explicitly marked with the tag :refile: . Note that the
1024 list of targets is built upon first use only, to rebuilt
1025 it, call the command `C-c C-w' with a double prefix
1026 argument.
1027 </p>
1028 <p>
1029 This is based on an idea and example implementation by Max
1030 Mikhanosha. Many thanks Max.
1031 </p>
1032 </li>
1033 <li>
1034 You can now use a C-u prefix on `org-remember' to jump to
1035 the location where a specific templates stores its notes.
1036 For example, if you have `org-remember' bound to `C-c r',
1037 then `C-u C-c r n' will get you to the file and headline
1038 given in the template associated with the letter "n".
1040 <p>
1041 This was proposed by someone, but I have lost track who.
1042 Sorry, and thanks anyway.
1043 </p>

1045 <li>
1046 New %-escapes in remember templates:
1048 <p>
1049 <pre>
1050 %c insert the current clipboard, like C-y would do
1051 %(..) evaluate Lisp expression and insert the result
1052 %[..] include file
1053 </pre>
1054 </p>
1055 <p>
1056 Thanks to Adam Spiers and Tim O'Callaghan.
1057 </p>
1058 </li>
1059 <li>
1060 New function `org-remember-insinuate' that makes is easier
1061 to set Org-mode specific values for remember variables.
1062 Thanks to Michael Olson for this proposal. It is
1063 equivalent to:
1065 <p>
1066 <pre>
1067 (require 'remember)
1068 (setq remember-annotation-functions '(org-remember-annotation))
1069 (setq remember-handler-functions '(org-remember-handler))
1070 (add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'org-remember-apply-template))
1071 </pre>
1072 </p>
1073 <p>
1074 You might still want to set `org-default-notes-file' to
1075 provide a default for templates without a file, and
1076 `org-directory' to show where to find other org files.
1077 </p>
1078 </li>
1079 </ul></div>
1085 <ul>
1086 <li>
1087 Stacked emphasis like */bold italic/* is no longer allowed.
1089 </li>
1090 <li>
1091 You may finally emphasize a single character like *a*.
1093 </li>
1094 <li>
1095 Font-lock now can hide the emphasis markers, just like Muse
1096 does. Configure the variable `org-hide-emphasis-markers'
1097 if you want this. Showing the characters continues to be
1098 the default in Org-mode.
1100 </li>
1101 <li>
1102 Text in the "=" emphasis is now exported verbatim, i.e. no
1103 further parsing and interpretation of this text takes place. So
1104 you can write =quoted *xxx* a_x = b=. This and the following
1105 point implement a request by Daniel Clemente.
1107 </li>
1108 <li>
1109 There is a new emphasis marker "~" which marks text to be
1110 exported verbatim, without special formatting. Inside an
1111 org-mode file, this text is highlighted with the org-verbatim
1112 face. I am not happy with the face yet (currently is is like
1113 org-code, but underlined), please suggest a better one.
1115 </li>
1116 <li>
1117 Whether an emphasis environment is verbatim or not is now an
1118 extra flag in the variable `org-emphasis-alist'. If you have
1119 configured this variable, do it again by first canceling your
1120 customization to revert to the default, and then adding it
1121 again.
1123 </li>
1124 <li>
1125 New variable `org-highlight-latex-fragments-and-specials'.
1126 When turned on, Org-mode will highlight all strings that
1127 are treated in a special way by the exporters. This is
1128 great for export-oriented writing, but maybe a bit noisy
1129 for note taking, so this feature is off by default.
1131 </li>
1132 </ul></div>
1138 <ul>
1139 <li>
1140 `org-use-property-inheritance' may now also be a list of
1141 property names that should be treated with inheritance
1142 during searches.
1144 </li>
1145 <li>
1147 even if the category is not specified as a property in the
1148 entry, but rather is inherited or derived from #+CATEGORY.
1149 Thanks to Adam, Tim, and Bastien for an interesting
1150 discussion around this issue.

1153 <li>
1154 Summary type improvements in column view.
1155 <ul>
1156 <li>
1157 The {+} summary type can specify a printf-style output
1158 format for computed values like this: {+;%5.2f}
1159 This was triggered by a report by Levin.
1160 </li>
1161 <li>
1162 New currency summary type {$}, which so far is just a
1163 shorthand for {+;%.2f}. Do we need to have a currency
1164 symbol in front of each value. Scott Jaderholm asked for
1165 this, but I am not sure if this is already what he meant.

1177 the date prompt.
1178 </p>
1179 <ul>
1180 <li>
1181 While entering data at the date prompt, the current
1182 interpretation of your input is shown next to your input in
1183 the minibuffer. I find this great to understand how the
1184 input works. If you find the extra stuff in the minibuffer
1185 annoying, turn it off with `org-read-date-display-live'.
1187 </li>
1188 <li>
1189 The date prompt now prefers to select the future. If you
1190 enter a date without a month, and the day number is before
1191 today (for example, on the 16th of the month you enter
1192 "9"), Org-mode will assume next month. Similarly, if you
1193 enter a month and no year, next year will be assumed if the
1194 entered month is before the current, for example if you
1195 enter "May" in September. Thanks to John Rakestraw for
1196 this great suggestion. If you find it confusing, turn it
1197 off with `org-read-date-prefer-future'.
1199 </li>
1200 <li>
1201 When modifying an existing date using `C-c .' at the stamp,
1202 the time or time range in the stamp are now offered as
1203 default input at the prompt. This goes a long way to
1204 simplifying the modification of an existing date. Thanks
1205 to Adam Spiers for this proposal.
1207 </li>

1230 </table>
1233 <p>
1234 You can turn this globally on or off with
1235 `org-export-with-special-strings' or locally with "-:t" or
1236 "-:nil" in the #+OPTIONS line. Thanks to Adam Spiers for
1237 starting the discussion, and thanks to Daniel Clemente and

1259 e Execute another agenda command, pretty much the same as

1264 </ul></div>
1270 <ul>
1271 <li>
1272 You can now select the sectioning structure of your LaTeX
1273 export by setting it either globally
1274 (`org-export-latex-default-class') or locally in each Org
1275 file (with #+LaTeX_CLASS: myclass). You can also customize
1276 the list of available classes and their sectioning
1277 structures through the new `org-export-latex-classes'
1278 option. Thanks to Daniel for discussions and suggestion on
1279 this issue.

1282 <li>
1283 You can send and receive radio lists in HTML,
1284 LaTeX or TeXInfo, just as you send and receive radio

1327 When interpopating into Lisp formulas in the spreadsheet,
1328 the values of constants and properties are no longer
1329 enclosed into parenthesis. When interpolating for calc,
1330 this still happens in order to allow expressions in
1331 constants. This problem was reported by Eddward DeVilla.
1333 </li>
1334 <li>
1335 When a directory is listed in `org-agenda-files', all files
1336 with extension matched by the new variable
1337 `org-agenda-file-regexp' in that directory will be agenda
1338 files.

1437 All the bugs described by Scott Jaderholm have been fixed
1438 (at least I hope so…).
1440 </li>
1441 <li>
1442 You can now capture a column view into a dynamic block, for
1443 exporting or printing it. The column view can be
1445 <ul>
1446 <li>
1447 global, i.e. for the entire file
1448 </li>
1449 <li>
1450 local, i.e. for the subtree where the dynamic block is
1451 </li>
1452 <li>
1453 from an entry with a specific :ID: property.
1455 </li>
1456 </ul>
1457 <p>You can identify the entry whose column view you want to
1458 capture by assigning an :ID: property, and use that property
1459 in the dynamic block definition. For example:
1460 </p>
1461 <p>
1462 <pre>
1463 * Planning
1464 :PROPERTIES:
1465 :ID: planning-overview
1466 :END:
1468 [...]
1470 * The column view
1473 #+END:
1474 </pre>
1475 </p>
1476 <p>
1477 Use `C-c C-x r' to insert such a dynamic block, and you will
1478 be prompted for the ID.
1479 </p>
1480 </li>
1481 <li>
1482 When the current column format displays TODO keyword,
1483 priority or tags, these parts are stripped from the content
1484 of the ITEM column, making for more compact and readable
1485 entries. When any of these "properties" are not listed in
1486 the current column format, they are instead retained in the
1487 ITEM column.
1489 </li>
1490 <li>
1491 You can now also edit the ITEM column with `e'.
1493 </li>
1494 </ul></div>
1500 <ul>
1501 <li>
1502 Instead of pressing `1' to restrict an agenda command to
1503 the current buffer, or `0' to restrict it to the current
1504 subtree or region, you can now also press `<' once or
1506 commands, a request by Bastien. In fact, "<" cycles
1508 still available for backward compatibility, until you bind
1509 them to custom commands.
1511 </li>
1512 <li>
1513 The access code to custom agenda commands can now contain
1514 several characters, effectively allowing to bundle several
1515 similar commands into a sub-keymap. This follows an
1516 excellent proposal by Adam Spiers. For example:
1518 <p>
1519 <pre>
1520 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
1525 </pre>
1526 </p>
1527 </li>
1528 <li>
1529 The user function option in org-agenda-custom-commands may
1530 now also be a lambda expression, following a request by
1531 Adam Spiers.
1533 </li>

1636 M-up and M-down now move the current line up and down (if

1721 the name start with the selection character, for example if

1727 `C-c C-k' will abort taking a note. You can use this in remember
1728 buffers and when taking a logging note (e.g. for a state
1729 change). Thanks to Bastien.

1732 <li>
1733 `C-c C-x C-w' and `C-c C-x M-w' now accept a prefix arg to
1734 cut N sequential subtrees. This was a proposal by John.

1737 <li>
1738 Lines in the agenda are now bold if they have priority A and
1739 italic if they have priority C. You can turn this off using
1740 the variable `org-agenda-fontify-priorities'. Thanks to
1741 John Wiegley for the idea and code.

1744 <li>
1745 New variable `org-scheduled-past-days' to set the number a
1746 scheduled item will be listed after its date has passed.
1747 Default is 10000, i.e. indefinitely.

1758 New sparse tree function `org-sparse-tree'. This is now the
1759 default binding for `C-c /'. It requires one additional
1760 keypress to select a command, but in return is provides a
1761 single interface to all the different sparse tree commands,
1762 with full completion support.

1765 <li>
1766 The variable `org-ellipsis' now defaults to the face

1777 <li>
1778 New variable `org-use-property-inheritance'. Configure it

1888 The properties SUMMARY, DESCRIPTION and LOCATION have
1889 special meaning during iCalendar export, when they translate
1890 to the corresponding VEVENT and VTODO fields. If not given,
1891 Org-ode continues to use cleaned-up version of the headline
1892 and body as the summary and the description, respectively.
1894 </li>
1895 <li>
1896 New function to go to the entry with the currently running
1897 clock. Bound to `C-c C-x C-j', in agenda also to "J". If
1898 you use this often, you might even want to assign a global
1899 key. Thanks to Bernt and Bastien.
1901 </li>
1902 <li>
1903 Clock entries can now have their own drawer, the :CLOCK:
1904 drawer. Check out the variable `org-clock-into-drawer' for
1905 configuration of this feature. The default is to create a
1906 drawer when the second clocking line gets added to an entry.
1907 Note that "CLOCK" has been added to the default value of
1908 `org-drawers', but if you have configured that variable, you
1909 must go back and add "CLOCK" yourself to get this drawer
1910 folded away. Thanks to Tom Weissman for pointing out that
1911 too many clock entries are visually annoying.
1913 </li>
1914 <li>
1915 `C-c C-x C-r' no longer tries to find the first clocktable
1916 in a buffer and then updates it. Instead, it will update
1917 the clocktable at point if there is one (same as C-c C-c
1918 will do if the cursor is in the "#+BEGIN" line of the
1919 table). If there is none at point, a new one will be
1920 inserted. This change was necessary because the new :scope
1921 parameter allows to have several clocktables in a buffer.
1922 Thanks to Bastien for pointing this out.
1923 To update all dynamic blocks in a file, use `C-u C-c C-x C-u'.
1925 </li>
1926 <li>
1927 The function `org-remember' can now be called with a
1928 template selection key as argument. This helps to make key
1929 bindings that go directly to a specific template without
1930 being prompted for a template, like this:
1932 <p>
1933 <pre>
1934 (global-set-key [f5] (lambda () (interactive) (org-remember "j")))

1942 `C-n' and `C-p' are back to their default binding
1943 (next/previous line) in the agenda buffer. Enough people,
1944 including recently Denis Bueno, have complained about this,
1945 and I agree it is not good to break habits like that.

1949 `C-x C-s' in an agenda buffer now saves all org-mode buffers
1950 (also `s' does this).

1955 produces a note in the agenda, similarly to what happens
1956 with S-left/right.

1959 <li>
1960 Using a prefix argument for `C-c C-d' or `C-c C-s' will
1961 remove the deadline or scheduling date from an item. Thanks

1966 New variable `org-agenda-compact-blocks'. When set, the
1967 space between blocks in a block agenda is reduced as much as
1968 possible, to show more items on a single screen.

1971 <li>
1972 The variable `org-agenda-tags-column' (renamed from
1973 `org-agenda-align-tags-to-column') can now also be negative,

2034 Both the category and the archive location in a (sub)tree of
2035 the buffer can now be specified using a property, for
2036 example:
2038 <p>
2039 <pre>
2040 * Tree with special properties
2041 :PROPERTIES:
2042 :CATEGORY: Examples
2043 :ARCHIVE: /some/special/file::
2044 :END:
2045 </pre>
2046 </p>
2047 <p>
2048 This is a much cleaner way of dealing with multiple
2049 categories and archives in a single file. The preferred use
2052 overruled by properties. This was a proposal from Bastien
2054 and I don't plan to remove this support soon, but I
2055 encourage you to stop using them.

2060 the range in the file from which clock entries should be

2067 <thead>

2070 <tbody>

2083 inspiration. Thanks to cranreuch (what is you full name?)
2084 for mentioning, at the right moment, that the clocktable is
2085 not so bad - that remark made it seem worthwhile to add
2086 features.

2088 </li>
2089 <li>
2090 The commands to import a table and to convert a region to a
2091 table can now handle comma-separated values (CSV). The
2092 algorithm does not yet treat quoting correctly, but for
2093 basic input it works.
2095 </li>
2096 <li>
2097 When modifying an existing time stamp, or when entering the
2098 second stamp of a range, the date prompt will now
2099 consistently default to the date/time in the existing stamp.
2100 This was triggered by Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
2102 </li>
2103 <li>
2104 At the date/time prompt, there is a new way to specify a
2105 range of hours, by using "+DURATION" after the time. For
2106 example:
2108 <p>
2109 <pre>
2112 </pre>
2113 </p>

2119 When you use the function `turn-on-orgstruct++' to turn on
2120 orgstruct-mode, the special org-mode settings for
2121 auto-filling, indentation and paragraphs are exported into
2122 the buffer, so that typing list items with indentation works
2123 better. This was Bastien's idea and request.
2125 </li>
2126 <li>
2127 New variable `org-priority-start-cycle-with-default'. When
2128 t (the default), priority cycling will initially set the
2129 default priority and then increase or decrease. When nil,
2130 the first priority set by cycling is already 1 different
2131 from the default priority. This was mostly driven by
2132 Bastien.
2134 </li>
2135 <li>
2136 In column view: When an entry has a property for a summary
2137 column defined, its value is normally overwritten by the sum
2138 of all the children's values each time you enter column
2139 view. Now there is an exception to this rule: If none of
2140 the children has that particular property defined, the
2141 parent's value stays. In this way you can still place TODO
2142 items under such an entry without getting the property value
2143 changed. Thanks to Russel Adams for pointing out that this
2144 is a better way of doing things.
2146 </li>
2147 <li>
2148 In column view, computed values are now bold face, and
2149 trying to edit them is an error. I think this works, but
2150 testing is appreciated.
2152 </li>
2153 <li>
2154 New command `org-occur-in-agenda-files', this is basically
2155 the quick command John Wiegley proposed the other day, but
2156 it also works when the agenda files are not yet in buffers.
2157 The key is `C-c C-x /', any better proposals?

2253 You can now set the format of the string for each day in the
2254 agenda and timeline buffers. You can use a format string
2255 interpreted by `format-time-string', or you can write your
2256 own function. Configure the new variable
2257 `org-agenda-format-date'. Thanks to Levin for triggering
2258 this development with a patch.
2260 </li>
2261 <li>
2262 The default for `org-remember-store-without-prompt' is now
2263 t, in order to better match the original intent of
2264 remember.el (storing a note with minimum interruption of
2265 work flow). Since we can assign files and headlines to
2266 templates, I guess this takes care of selecting a filing
2267 location in most cases. For interactive filing, you now
2268 need a prefix command when exiting `remember'.
2270 </li>
2271 <li>
2272 `org-goto' (bound to `C-c C-j') now uses an indirect buffer
2273 and has additional commands enabled: Org-occur with `C-c /'
2274 or even faster with `/', and the commands needed to select
2275 and copy a region. This make `org-goto' a more general
2276 lookup command instead of only a jumping command. Remember
2277 that you can exit with `Q' to go back to the original
2278 location. Thanks to William Henney for this idea.
2280 </li>
2281 <li>
2282 Setting the priority with S-up/down now cycles back to a
2283 state where no priority is specified. This was requested by
2284 Rick Moynihan.
2286 </li>
2287 <li>
2289 So if you select a location interactively once, you can
2290 re-use it without having to find it again. For this, exit
2291 the remember buffer with `C-u C-u C-c C-c'. The leading
2292 comment in the remember buffer will tell exactly where the
2293 note goes if you exit with a particular command.
2294 Thanks to Maxim Loginov for this idea.
2296 </li>
2297 <li>
2298 On Emacs 23, the headline faces for org-mode are now
2299 inherited from the outline faces. This is just a
2300 convenience, so that you only have to configure one set of
2302 will actually not see any difference in org-mode, because
2303 Stefan Monnier has made the outline faces in Emacs 23 to
2304 match the current org-mode faces.

2333 <ul>
2334 <li>
2335 There is now a separate interface for fast and directly
2336 setting a TODO keyword. This interface kicks in when you
2337 have configured keys for TODO keywords like
2339 <p>
2340 <pre>
2341 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | DONE(d) CANCELED(c)
2342 </pre>
2343 </p>
2344 <p>
2345 C-c C-t still does the cycling thing, you need to use a
2346 prefix argument to get to the fast interface. Or configure
2347 the variable `org-use-fast-todo-selection' to t, then this
2348 will be the default and the prefix argument will make the
2349 command fall back to cycling.
2350 </p>
2351 <p>
2352 The tag selection no longer does include TODO keywords -
2353 Leo's arguments have convinced me that this is not a good
2354 idea. If you'd like to see the TODO keywords in the tags
2355 interface anyway, set the variable
2356 `org-fast-tag-selection-include-todo'. Thanks to Leo and
2357 others for input on this issue.
2358 </p>
2359 </li>
2360 <li>
2361 New variable `org-edit-timestamp-down-means-later'. When
2362 set, `S-down' on a timestamp will change the timestamp to
2363 later. Thanks to Raman for this idea.

2367 Property names can now contain non-ascii word characters.
2368 This follows a request from Daniel Clemente.

2371 <li>
2372 For export, the date that should be given in the exported
2373 file can now be set to a specific value with a line like
2375 <p>
2376 <pre>
2378 </pre>
2379 </p>
2380 <p>
2381 If you want to use the date/time when the file was created,
2382 use a format string that will be interpreted by
2383 `format-time-string', for example:
2384 </p>
2385 <p>
2386 <pre>
2387 #+DATE: %Y/%m/%d %X
2388 </pre>
2389 </p>

2391 <li>
2392 The default of `org-deadline-warning-days' has changed to 14
2393 days. 30 was really too much, I suspect most people (me
2394 included) have changed this.
2396 </li>
2397 <li>
2398 When a deadline has an individual lead time, this lead time
2399 obviously overrules `org-deadline-warning-days'. However,
2401 example during a custom agenda command, then the absolute
2402 value of this number will be enforced also when a different
2403 lead time has been specified. This is useful to get a list
2404 of all deadlines coming up in the next N days.

2472 You can now define different faces for different TODO
2473 keywords. This request has come up frequently, so here it
2474 is: Use the variable `org-todo-keyword-faces'.
2476 <p>
2477 A Here is a configuration example:
2478 </p>
2479 <p>
2480 <pre>
2481 (setq org-todo-keyword-faces
2482 '(("TODO" . org-warning)
2483 ("DEFERRED" . shadow)
2485 :underline t))))
2486 </pre>
2487 </p>
2488 <p>
2489 Org-mode continue still use `org-todo' and `org-done' for
2490 keywords that have no specific face assigned.
2491 </p>
2492 </li>
2493 <li>
2494 Some People use TODO states more like tags. For them the
2495 TODO keywords mark special states and they like to quickly
2496 switch between states in arbitrary sequence. The standard
2497 TODO interface is not perfect for this, because it assumes
2498 that the states are reached in sequence. However, the fast
2499 tag setting interface is in fact perfect for this. You can
2500 now "misuse" the TAG selection interface to also set TODO
2501 states. All you need to do is to assign keys to the TODO
2502 states, just like you also do for tags.
2504 <p>
2505 <pre>
2506 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | CANCELED(c) DONE(d)
2507 #+TAGS: @HOME(h) @OFFICE(o) @SHOP(s)
2508 </pre>
2509 </p>
2510 <p>
2511 Next time you try to set tags with C-c C-c, the todo states
2512 will be offered as well, and the corresponding key will
2513 switch the entry to that state.
2514 </p>
2515 </li>
2516 <li>
2517 New variable `org-archive-save-context-info' governs if
2518 information that would be lost by moving a subtree to the
2519 archive file, should be stored as special properties. For
2520 example,
2522 <p>
2523 <pre>
2524 (setq org-archive-save-context-info '(itags category))
2525 </pre>
2526 </p>
2527 <p>
2528 will store the inherited tags and the category in properties
2529 ARCHIVE_ITAGS and ARCHIVE_CATEGORY, respectively. The
2530 default setting for this variable is to save everything that
2531 could be lost. This was a proposal by John Wiegley.

2540 `Org-ellipsis' can now also be a face to make the folding
2541 ellipsis more visible. This is based on a post by Tassilo
2542 Horn. Since `org-ellipsis' only works in Org-mode, you
2543 might want to use Tassilo Horn's hack directly in order to
2544 affect the folding ellipsis globally.

2548 Scheduling info is no longer removed when an entry is marked
2549 CLOSED. This was a request by Brian van den Broek. Let me
2550 know if this breaks anything for you - then it will become
2551 an option.
2553 </li>
2554 <li>
2555 New option `org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files'. Currently,
2556 if a file does not exist, it will be removed from
2557 `org-agenda-files' after a query. When this option is set,
2558 the file will simply be skipped.

2585 When exporting only a region and this region is a single
2586 (sub)tree (for example selected with `C-c @'), the title for
2587 the exported document is taken to be the heading of the
2588 subtree. The sublevels become top-level entries in the
2589 export. Furthermore, if the head entry of the tree has or
2590 inherits an EXPORT_FILE_NAME property, that file name (with
2591 appropriately substituted extension) will be used for the
2592 exported tree. Thanks to Patrick Drechsler and Jost Burkart
2593 for these ideas.
2595 </li>
2596 <li>
2597 org-special-ctrl-a/e has a third allowed value, `reversed'.
2598 When it is set to this value, the first C-a or C-e command
2599 behaves normally, i.e. it goes to the true beginning or end
2600 of the line. Only when you press C-a or C-e immediately
2601 again, the the "special" position will be found. Additional
2602 presses of the same key jump between the two positions. I
2603 like this a lot better than the `t' setting, because now the
2604 keys behave more predictable and still give easy access to
2605 the special locations.

2688 Bastien's `org-export-latex.el' is now part of the org-mode
2689 distribution. You can export an Org-mode document to a
2690 LaTeX file with `C-c C-e l'. For more options, see the
2691 manual, and the commentary in the Lisp file. Kudos to
2692 Bastien for contributing this frequently requested feature.
2693 I am sure this has been tough because of the many different
2694 ways I have been allowing LaTeX snippets and environments to
2695 be incorporated in lazy free-format ways.
2697 </li>
2698 <li>
2699 Org-mode has now an extension mechanism for the hyperlink
2700 system. This should clear the road for all those mairix and
2701 other ideas that have been floating around. Now it is on
2703 interface for adding a new link type is described in the
2704 appendix of the manual, section A2. The unsolved problem is
2705 currently how to handle the new link types for
2706 export/publishing.
2708 </li>
2709 <li>
2711 `org-insert-link-global'. You can bind these commands to
2712 global keys and use them to insert and follow Org-mode-like
2713 links anywhere in Emacs. Thanks to Adam Spiers for this
2714 excellent idea.
2716 </li>
2717 <li>
2718 Each deadline timestamp may now specify its own interval of
2719 lead-time display, given in days, weeks, months or years.
2720 The syntax is like this
2722 <p>
2723 <pre>
2725 </pre>
2726 </p>
2727 <p>
2728 When combined with a repeater, the repeater has to come
2729 first:
2730 </p>
2731 <p>
2732 <pre>
2734 </pre>
2735 </p>
2736 <p>
2737 You may now also customize the faces that are used in the
2738 agenda to indicate the distance of an approaching deadline.
2739 See the new option `org-agenda-deadline-faces'.
2740 </p>
2741 <p>
2742 Thanks to Pavel Chalmoviansky and John Wiegley proposals in
2743 this direction.
2744 </p>
2745 </li>
2746 <li>
2747 New option `org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all'. When
2748 set to nil, repeating time stamps will only show up once in
2749 the agenda, either today or in the near future. Other
2750 matches will be ignored. Thanks to John Wiegley for this
2751 proposal.
2753 </li>
2754 <li>
2755 New variable `org-remember-store-without-prompt'. When set,
2756 exiting the remember buffer with C-c C-c will store the note
2757 without further prompts to the default location, and `C-u
2758 C-c C-c' will get the prompts for file and location. So
2759 this variable reverses the prefix-argument functionality for
2760 storing remember notes. This follows a request from John
2761 Wiegley.
2763 </li>
2764 <li>
2765 A new function `org-agenda-to-appt' activates all
2766 appointments for the current day so that Emacs will display
2767 reminders. This uses appt.el. Thanks to Bastien for this
2768 function.
2770 </li>
2771 <li>
2772 You can now set default values for properties that can be
2773 inherited by all entries in a buffer, or by all entries
2774 globally. Global properties are set in the variable
2775 `org-global-properties', like this:
2777 <p>
2779 </p>
2780 <p>
2781 Buffer-local values are set like this:
2782 </p>
2783 <p>
2784 #+PROPERTY: NAME This is the value
2785 </p>
2786 <p>
2787 When using org-entry-get to get the value of a property with
2788 the `inherit' flag and the hierarchy above the entry does
2789 not contain this property, the buffer-local and global lists
2790 are checked as well. This is mostly useful (I think) to set
2791 the list of allowed values for a property. Thanks to Bernt
2792 Hansen and Bastien for these ideas.

2854 The variable `org-special-ctrl-a' has been renamed to

2865 <ul>
2866 <li>
2867 When the variable `org-special-ctrl-a/e' is set, C-e in a

2869 tags. A second C-e then goes to after the tags.
2871 </li>
2872 <li>
2873 Typing and removing single characters in a headline now
2874 keeps the tags in the headline aligned. This could have a

2933 Bad news. It looks like it is going to be really hard to

2948 Improvements for properties:
2950 <ul>
2951 <li>
2952 There are interactive commands to insert and delete
2953 properties. Read the manual chapter 7 for details.
2955 </li>
2956 <li>
2958 these are defined, you can change the value of a property
2959 with S-left and S-right. And you may use completion when
2960 inserting the property. This goes a long way to prevent
2961 typos when entering properties.
2963 </li>
2964 </ul></li>
2965 <li>
2966 Improvements for column view.
2968 <ul>
2969 <li>
2970 In column view, you may use the keys S-left/right (and
2971 also the keys `n' and `p') to switch from one allowed
2972 value to the next.
2974 </li>
2975 <li>
2976 You can define summaries for columns. For example,
2977 parents can contain the sum of all children values of a
2978 property, or the parent node can have a check box property
2979 that is automatically checked when all children's boxes are
2980 checked.
2982 </li>
2983 <li>
2984 There are interactive commands to add and remove columns,
2985 and to change the attributes of a column like the summary
2986 type.
2988 </li>
2989 </ul>
2990 <p>These additions lead to the exciting fact that the example
2991 from <a href="http://www.omnigroup.com/images/applications/omnioutliner/features/multicolumn.jpg">omni outliner</a> posted by Scott Jaderholm can now be
2993 </p>
2994 </li>
2995 <li>
2996 The space after the stars is now required in a headline, in
2997 order to remove the conflict with bold words at the
2998 beginning of a line. So

3001 <pre>
3002 * This is a level 1 headline

3084 There is a new minor mode, orgstruct-mode. This modes works
3085 in a similar way as Orgtbl-mode. It can be used to export
3086 the Org-mode structure-editing commands into arbitrary major
3087 modes in Emacs. For example, you can use it in Mail-mode to
3088 easily create lists.
3089 </p>
3090 <p>
3091 The functionality in Orgstruct mode is only active, if the
3092 cursor is in a line that looks either like a headline, or
3093 like the first line of a plain list item. Then the commands
3094 `TAB', `M-cursor', `M-S-cursor', `M-RET', `M-S-RET', `C-c ^',
3095 `C-c C-c', and `C-c -' will do structure-related editing just
3096 like in Org-mode. If the cursor is not in such a line, all
3097 these keys will do whatever the major mode or other active
3098 minor modes have assigned to them.
3099 </p>
3100 <p>
3101 Orgstruct-mode is the result of a proposal by Raman, quite
3102 some time ago. It has taken a long time, but here is finally
3103 the promised implementation.
3104 </p>
3105 </div>
3111 <p>
3113 that remain folded during visibility cycling. Drawers need
3114 to be configured using the variable `org-drawers'. A drawer
3115 starts with a line containing only the name of the drawer
3116 bracketed by colons. It ends with :END:. For example,
3117 after setting
3118 </p>
3119 <p>
3120 <pre>
3122 </pre>
3123 </p>
3124 <p>
3125 you can then create drawers like this:
3126 </p>
3127 <p>
3128 <pre>
3129 :HIDDEN:
3130 here is some stuff that remains hidden
3131 unless TAB is pressed directly in that line
3132 :END:
3133 </pre>
3134 </p>
3135 <p>
3136 The PROPERTIES drawer has special meaning for ORG-mode, it
3137 contains properties of an entry (see below).
3138 </p>
3139 </div>
3145 <ul>
3146 <li>
3148 associated with them. Org-mode handles some default
3149 properties like the TODO state, the priority, the local
3150 tags, and planning information like DEADLINE and SCHEDULED.
3151 In addition, you can assign arbitrary properties by creating
3152 a property drawer and inserting a line like
3154 <p>
3155 <pre>
3156 :PROPNAME: This is the value of the property
3157 </pre>
3158 </p>
3159 <p>
3160 Org-mode has an API for properties, if you want to write a
3161 program using properties, use the functions
3162 `org-entry-properties', `org-entry-get', `org-entry-put',
3163 and `org-entry-delete'.
3164 </p>
3165 </li>
3166 <li>
3167 Planning information like DEADLINE can be hidden in the
3168 properties drawer.
3170 <p>
3171 If the PROPERTIES drawer starts in the first line after a
3172 headline, also the DEADLINE, SCHEDULED and CLOCK information
3173 will be inserted inside the drawer. If no PROPERTIES drawer
3174 is present, or if it does not start in the line right after
3175 the headline, this information remains in the lines directly
3176 after the headline, outside the drawer.
3177 </p>
3178 </li>
3179 <li>
3180 TAGS searches can now also query properties. For example,
3181 the search
3183 <p>
3184 <pre>
3186 </pre>
3187 </p>
3188 <p>
3189 will find entries that
3190 </p><ul>
3191 <li>
3192 are level 3
3193 </li>
3194 <li>
3195 have the tag BOSS
3196 </li>
3197 <li>
3198 have an ASSIGNED property with the value "Hans"
3199 </li>
3200 <li>
3201 are TODO status WAITING.
3203 <p>
3204 So here is an entry that will match:
3205 </p>
3206 <p>
3207 <pre>
3208 *** WAITING Clean up the factory :BOSS:
3209 :PROPERTIES:
3210 :ASSIGNED: Hans
3211 :END:
3212 </pre>
3213 </p>
3214 <p>
3215 You may also use a regular expression to match against a
3216 property value. For example, to find stuff assigned to Hans
3217 or Sarah, use
3218 </p>
3219 <p>
3220 <pre>
3221 ASSIGNED={^\(Hans\|Sarah\)$}
3222 </pre>
3223 </p>
3224 </li>
3225 </ul></li>
3226 <li>
3227 Column View is a special way to look at property values in
3228 tabular form. Column View can be used in any org-mode
3229 file, and also in any agenda buffer. It works by placing
3230 an overlay over each headline (or agenda line) that shows a
3231 table of selected properties. You can look at and edit
3232 properties from this view. Which properties are shown in
3233 the table must be set up using the COLUMNS property. You
3234 can set up different property columns on different levels
3235 of an outline tree. For example:
3237 <p>
3238 <pre>
3239 * People
3240 :PROPERTIES:
3241 :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name
3242 :END:
3243 ** Family
3244 :PROPERTIES:
3246 :END:
3247 *** Sam
3248 Info about Sam, including a property list with Name and Age.
3249 *** Sarah
3250 Info about Sarah, including a property list with Name and Age.
3251 ** Office
3252 :PROPERTIES:
3253 :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %Function %Salary
3254 :END:
3255 *** Boss
3256 Info about the Boss, including a property list with Name,
3257 Function and Salary (if only we knew....).
3258 </pre>
3259 </p>
3260 <p>
3261 Now we have defined three different sets of columns. If
3263 will get a different table than if you do it in the
3266 table will cover all entries, but contain only the
3268 </p>
3269 <p>
3270 Column view does, for the time being, only work on Emacs.
3271 The XEmacs implementation needs a bit of work.
3272 </p>
3273 </li>
3274 <li>
3275 Properties can be used in table formulas. To access the
3276 value of the property :XYZ:, use $PROP_XYZ. The property
3277 needs to be defined in the hierarchy above the table, not
3278 necessarily in the same entry as the table. This was a
3279 request by Eddward. File-wide constants can be defined with
3280 #+CONSTANTS, see below.

3298 Right now column view is invoked through the command C-c

3322 In the spreadsheet, the evaluation of formulas has changed.
3323 Previously, first the column formulas would be evaluated
3324 everywhere, and then the field formulas would kick in, and
3325 in some cases overwrite the results of column formulas in
3326 the appropriate fields. This had the side effect that some
3327 formulas might always use the wrong, intermediate content of
3328 a field that is computed both by a column and a field
3329 formula.
3331 <p>
3332 From now on, column formulas will no longer temporarily
3333 overwrite field formulas. This gives much more consistent
3334 results. For example you can now finally have a column of
3335 increasing numbers by setting the first field to a fixed
3336 number, and let the rest follow from a column formula.
3337 </p>
3338 <p>
3339 Here is an example
3340 </p>
3341 <p>
3342 <pre>
3343 | 1 |
3344 | 2 |
3345 | 3 |

3350 <li>
3351 Constants for formulas in spreadsheets are globally defined
3352 with the variable `org-table-formula-constants'. File-local
3353 constants can now be set with a line like:
3355 <p>
3356 <pre>
3358 </pre>
3359 </p>
3360 </li>
3361 </ul></div>
3367 <ul>
3368 <li>
3369 When entries are archived, a timestamp for the moment of
3370 archiving is added to the line with planning information.
3371 It looks like this:

3496 There is now a special version of `org.el' for XEmacs.
3497 Before installation, as an XEmacs user you must rename the
3498 file org_xemacs.el to org.el, i.e. you must overwrite org.el
3499 with the xemacs version. For example:
3501 <p>
3502 <pre>
3503 mv org_xemacs.el org.el
3504 </pre>
3505 </p>
3506 <p>
3507 This is necessary so that I can make use of some features
3508 that would be cumbersome to support in a single file. The
3509 XEmacs version is derived from the Emacs version with a
3510 program, so no reason to fear that I might be dropping
3511 XEmacs support any time soon. Sorry for the trouble.
3512 </p>
3513 </li>
3514 </ul></div>
3520 <ul>
3521 <li>
3522 A time stamp may now contain a range of times. So you no
3523 longer need to use two separate stamps to indicate a time
3524 interval on a single day. For example
3526 <p>
3527 <pre>
3529 </pre>
3530 </p>
3531 <p>
3532 This is now fully supported, including changing the time
3533 with S-up/down while the cursor is on the end time. Also,
3534 da the date/time prompt, you can simply write your time like
3536 </p>
3537 <p>
3538 This was proposed by Leo some time ago, and recently by
3539 Michael.

3556 TAGS may now contain language-specific word characters, as
3557 long as they are matched by the "[:alnum:]" regexp syntax.
3558 This is for Emacs only, the XEmacs version continues to use
3559 the character class "a-zA-Z0-9_@" for tag names. Thanks to
3560 David Smith for a patch to this effect (a modified version
3561 of that patch was applied). I am considering to make the
3562 same change for TODO keywords, but not yet. Note that files
3563 using localization features may not work correctly in the
3564 Emacs configuration of another user, so if you are sharing
3565 org-mode files with other users, it might still be best to
3566 stick to the ASCII characters.
3568 </li>
3569 <li>
3570 Promotion and demotion of plain list items (commands M-left,
3571 M-right) no longer changes the indentation by just one
3572 space. Instead, it uses intelligence gathered from the
3573 surrounding list structure to do the right thing. Thanks to
3574 William Henney for starting the discussion about this.
3576 </li>
3577 <li>
3578 TAB does now a better job of indenting lines.
3580 <ul>
3581 <li>
3582 After tables and code segments (lines starting with ":"),
3583 indentation goes back to what it was before (thanks to
3584 William Henney for suggesting this behavior).
3586 </li>
3587 <li>
3588 When plain lists items are involved, we had a long
3589 discussion on emacs-orgmode where I tried to show that a
3590 too-sophisticated implementation will still be easily
3591 fooled. Here is what I have implemented now - lets see
3592 if we can agree on this:
3594 <p>
3595 Indentation will flatten lists with the same bullet type,
3596 but indent another bullet type further. The time when
3597 this fails is in a nested list, when you want to get back
3598 out to a previous level. For example
3599 </p>
3600 <p>
3601 <pre>
3602 - item 1
3603 - item 2
3604 + item 2a
3605 + item 2b
3606 - item 3
3607 </pre>
3608 </p>
3609 <p>
3610 When using TAB on every line in this list, the structure
3611 will change to
3612 </p>
3613 <p>
3614 <pre>
3615 - item 1
3616 - item 2
3617 + item 2a
3618 + item 2b
3619 - item 3
3620 </pre>
3621 </p>
3622 <p>
3623 So you need to change the level of the last line by hand,
3624 using promotion and demotion functions.

3659 </ul></div>
3665 <ul>
3666 <li>
3667 You can now specify column groups in tables, to the effect
3668 that the groups will be separated by vertical lines in HTML
3669 and ASCII output. Column groups are specified by the
3671 group, ">" ends a group (in each case including the the
3672 column where the character is specified). You may also use
3673 "<>" to make a group a single column wide. For example:
3675 <p>
3676 <pre>
3678 |---+----+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
3684 </pre>
3685 </p>
3686 <p>
3687 A table row with with nothing but "/" in the first field is
3688 never exported, but can be used to place column group
3689 information into the table. In this table, we create a
3692 groups.
3693 </p>
3694 <p>
3697 wherever you want a vertical line:
3698 </p>
3699 <p>
3700 <pre>
3702 |---+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
3704 </pre>
3705 </p>
3706 </li>
3707 <li>
3708 Vertical lines are now also omitted in ASCII export, unless
3709 grouping explicitly requests these lines.
3711 </li>
3712 <li>
3713 The default for `org-show-following-heading' is now nil,
3714 meaning that sparse trees will be more compact. This has
3715 become possible due to in important remark by Jason Dunsmore
3716 who pointed out that TAB should behave differently in the
3717 inconsistent trees produced by the sparse tree commands.
3718 TAB does now make sure that the heading after a freshly
3719 unfolded tree is made visible at all, removing the confusing
3720 behavior we had before.

3727 <li>
3728 Strings produced by agenda batch processing with
3729 `org-batch-agenda' and `org-batch-agenda-csv' are now
3730 properly encoded, so that you should be able to use
3731 special characters in other languages as along as your
3732 post-processing program handles them correctly. At least
3733 for Emacs this should work now, but have not yet figured
3734 out how to do this in XEmacs.

3845 </p>
3846 <p>
3847 will apply to every Wednesday, starting from the date given.

3854 You can use an sexp diary entry (with the syntax used by the
3855 Emacs calendar/diary) in a time stamp, like this:
3857 <p>
3858 *** The nerd club meets on 2nd Thursday of every month
3859 </p></li>
3860 </ul>
3862 </p>
3863 <ul>
3864 <li>
3865 You can put diary-style sexp entries directly into an
3866 org-mode file, where they will be interpreted just like they
3867 would in the diary. For example
3869 <ul>
3870 <li>
3871 Birthdays and similar stuff
3872 </li>
3873 </ul>
3874 <p>#+CATEGORY: Holiday
3875 %%(org-calendar-holiday) ; special function for holiday names
3876 #+CATEGORY: Ann
3877 %%(diary-anniversary 14 5 1956) Artur Dent %d is years old
3878 %%(diary-anniversary 2 10 1869) Mahatma Gandhi
3879 </p>
3880 <p>
3881 These entries must start at column 0 to be evaluated.
3882 </p>
3883 <p>
3884 It turns out that evaluating the entries in an org-mode file
3885 is actually faster than in the diary itself, because using
3886 the diary has some overhead (creating fancy diary display,
3887 then reading and re-interpreting the entries). I have moved
3888 all the sexp entries from my diary into an org-mode file,
3889 put in a few categories, and then turned off
3890 `org-agenda-include-diary'. This has led to a noticeably
3891 faster agenda display.
3892 </p>
3893 </li>
3894 <li>
3895 New command `org-replace-region-by-html' that converts the
3896 current region from org-mode syntax into HTML. For example,
3897 you might write an itemized list in plain text in an HTML
3898 buffer, and then invoke this command to convert it. Thanks
3899 to Raman for this idea.

3902 <li>
3903 When inserting a link with `C-c C-l', completion will now
3904 fill in all valid link prefixes, like http or ftp, but also
3905 link abbreviation prefixes. This is based on an idea by

3926 <li>
3927 There is a new command to add or change the emphasis (like
3928 bold or italic) of a piece of text. For lack of better
3929 available keys the command is at `C-c C-x C-f', but you may
3930 well want to choose a more convenient key like `C-c f' in
3931 your private setup:
3933 <p>
3934 (add-hook 'org-load-hook
3935 (lambda () (define-key org-mode-map "\C-cf" 'org-emphasize)))
3936 </p>
3937 <p>
3938 The command will prompt for an emphasis type, and you may
3939 reply either with the marker that triggers the emphasis, or
3940 with the first letter of the corresponding HTML tag. For
3942 </p>
3943 <p>
3944 If there is an active region, the emphasis of this region
3945 will be set or changed. If there is no region, only the
3946 emphasis markers will be inserted and the cursor positioned
3947 between them. Thanks to Bastien for proposing this feature.

3969 This release is about exporting agenda views, to HTML, to
3970 postscript for printing, and to a special format (CSV) for
3971 further processing in scripts.
3972 </p>
3973 </div>
3979 <ul>

3981 The variable `org-agenda-remove-tags-when-in-prefix' has

3984 </li>
3985 </ul></div>
3991 <ul>
3992 <li>
3993 Agenda views can be exported as plain text, as HTML, and as
3994 Postscript(R). This can simply be done from the agenda
3995 buffer with `C-x C-w' and then specifying a filename like
3996 `myagenda.html' or `myagenda.ps'. See section 8.6.4 of the
3997 manual.
3999 </li>
4000 <li>
4001 Each custom agenda view can specify a list of associated
4002 files names. The command `C-c a e' then creates all views
4003 that have associated file names and exports the views to
4004 these files. This is great for producing paper versions of
4005 your views, to take with you when you don't have your
4006 computer. The manual has an example on how to do this, and
4007 in particular on how to customize the format of the printed
4008 version. See section 8.6.4 of the manual.
4010 </li>
4011 <li>
4012 You can produce a CSV format of agenda information with an
4013 Emacs batch command. This is greate for further processing
4014 in scipts. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for this idea.
4015 See section 8.6.5 of the manual.
4017 </li>
4018 <li>
4019 New variable `org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done'. When set,
4020 a deadline associated with a DONE item will not be shown in

4089 <li>
4090 The option `org-format-latex-options' has changed. If you
4091 have customized it, please revert to default and then redo
4092 your customization.
4094 </li>
4095 <li>
4096 `org-CUA-compatible' no longer modifies S-RET by default,
4097 because newer versions of CUA don't use this key anymore.
4098 If you need this replacement, customize the variable
4099 `org-disputed-keys'.
4101 </li>
4102 <li>
4103 The variable `org-CUA-compatible' is obsolete, please use
4104 `org-replace-disputed-keys' instead. `org-CUA-compatible'
4105 is still an alias for this new variable, though.
4107 </li>
4108 </ul></div>
4114 <ul>
4115 <li>
4116 Better control over blank lines between trees in collapsed
4117 view. This has come up several times in the past and most
4118 recently by Scott Jaderholm. There is now a new variable
4119 `org-cycle-separator-lines' with default value 2. It says
4120 how many empty lines there need to be after the end of a
4121 subtree to get an empty line in collapsed view. So with the
4122 default, if you leave only one empty line it will disappear
4123 in collapsed view. If you leave two, one empty line will
4124 remain so that you can use double empty lines to structure
4125 the collapsed views of a file. I love it, so many thanks to
4126 Scott fro bringing this up again.
4128 <p>
4129 One property of the new setup is that you will never get
4130 more than one blank line in collapsed view. We could do
4132 collapsed view, but I think this is counter-productive.
4133 </p>
4134 <p>
4135 In Emacs 22, if you want to make full use of this, make sure
4136 that you have not set `outline-blank-line'.
4137 </p>
4138 </li>
4139 <li>
4140 When the clock is running, Org-mode will put info about it
4141 into the modeline. The info consists of the elapsed time
4142 and the heading of the clocked item. This was a proposal
4143 from Bastien who got the idea from Muse.
4145 </li>
4146 <li>
4147 C-a can behave specially in headlines when you set the
4148 variable `org-special-ctrl-a'. It will bring the cursor
4150 i.e. after the stars and the TODO keyword, if any. A second
4151 C-a will then move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
4152 If the cursor is already at the beginning of the line, C-a
4154 proposal from Leo, based on a request from Scott Jaderholm.

4157 I have not turned this turned this on by default, should I?
4158 </p>
4159 </li>
4160 <li>
4161 When LaTeX fragments are processed into images, there is now
4162 more control and (hopefully) betters defaults for colors and
4163 scaling. Special values can be set for HTML export, so that
4164 these values can differ from what is used for display in an
4165 emacs buffer. The default foreground and background colors
4166 for images embedded in emacs are now taken from the default
4167 emacs face. Thanks to Xiao-Yong Jin for proposing these
4168 changes.
4170 </li>
4171 <li>
4172 There is now a much better mechanism to change some keys in
4173 org-mode if these keys clash with other modes you use. Turn
4174 this on by setting `org-replace-disputed-keys' (aliased to
4175 `org-CUA-compatible'). The list of keys to replace is now
4176 fully customizable, see the option `org-disputed-keys'.
4177 Many thanks to Meciej Katafiasz for a patch implementing
4178 this.
4180 </li>
4181 <li>
4182 Stuck project descriptions have been extended. You can now
4184 keyword or TAG marks a project as non-stuck. You also can
4185 give an arbitrary regular expression that, if it matches,
4186 indicates a non-stuck project.
4188 </li>
4189 <li>
4190 The code for emphasis like bold, italic etc has been
4191 modified - I might have broken something in the process,
4192 please let me know if you find problems.

4226 New variables to customize the header and data tags in
4227 exported HTML. These are the variables
4228 `org-export-table-header-tags' and
4229 `org-export-table-data-tags'. This follows a request from
4230 Scott Otterson.
4232 </li>
4233 <li>
4234 New option `org-format-latex-header' for customizing the
4235 header of the LaTeX file used to convert embedded LaTeX to
4236 images. Thanks to `Matthieu Lemerre' for the suggestion.
4238 </li>
4239 <li>
4240 The prefix version of `org-todo-list' works again. This
4241 means that `C-1 C-c a t' produces the list of TODO entries
4242 for the first TODO keyword. If you use different TODO setups
4243 in different agenda files, be careful: This number now
4245 that are scanned for the agenda.

4294 Further development concerning TODO keywords.
4296 <ul>
4297 <li>
4298 You can now have several DONE states in a sequence, like
4300 <p>
4301 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE DELEGATED
4302 </p>
4303 <p>
4304 The difference to the proposal discussed on the mailing
4305 list (and which is also works!)
4306 </p>
4307 <p>
4308 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE
4309 #+SEQ_TODO: | CANCELED
4310 </p>
4311 <p>
4312 is that in the first case, the extra DONE states will be
4313 reached with `C-c C-t' (or with `t' from the agenda), while
4315 states. I guess both ideas can be useful - I am leaning
4316 toward using the latter.
4317 </p>
4318 </li>
4319 <li>
4320 Setting up TODO keywords in Lisp previously used two
4321 separate variables: `org-todo-keywords' and
4322 `org-todo-interpretation'. The preferred way is now to use
4323 only `org-todo-keywords', with a new structure:
4325 <p>
4326 (setq org-todo-keywords
4330 (sequence "CANCELED") ; for things we decide to not do.
4331 ))
4332 </p>
4333 <p>
4334 If your setting has this new structure,
4335 `org-todo-interpretation' will be ignored. This change
4336 does not break backward compatibility. The old way of
4337 using a flat list in `org-todo-keywords' and taking the
4338 interpretation from the other variable still works.
4339 </p>
4340 </li>
4341 <li>
4343 (`C-u C-c C-v') or via the agenda (`C-c a T' or `C-u C-c a
4344 t'), you can now specify several keywords to be selected,
4345 like "TODO|VERIFY|WAITING". This also works for custom
4346 agenda commands. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for pointing
4347 out this omission.
4349 </li>
4350 </ul></li>
4351 <li>
4352 If you have configured Org-mode to export also the text
4353 before the first headline (this is done by setting the
4354 variable `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil),
4355 then the first normal text line in the buffer becomes the
4356 title of the exported document. A title set with #+TITLE
4357 overules this default, and the first line then belongs to the
4358 normal text. Thanks to David House for this proposal.
4360 </li>
4361 <li>
4362 TTY replacement keys. Some of the key bindings used by
4363 Org-mode do not work on a tty, so replacement key sequences
4364 are provided on ttys. In version 4.70, there are some
4365 changes in the tty replacements. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer

4400 This time the changes affect the following areas:

4403 <li>
4404 TODO keywords: Multiple sequences in a single file.
4405 </li>
4406 <li>
4407 Export: More control over text before the first heading.

4412 <li>
4413 Plain lists: Option to let empty lines terminate lists.

4422 Bug fixes.
4424 </li>
4425 </ul></div>
4431 <ul>
4432 <li>
4433 It used to be possible to spread the list of TODO keywords
4434 over several lines, like
4436 <p>
4437 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO
4438 #+SEQ_TODO: PROGRESS
4439 #+SEQ_TODO: DONE
4440 </p>
4441 <p>
4442 This is no longer possible. Each such line now specifies an
4443 independent set of TODO keywords, with its own DONE state.
4444 See below for details.
4445 </p>
4446 </li>
4447 <li>
4448 The #+TEXT construct has been used to insert unchanged HTML
4449 into an exported file. This is no longer possible, the TEXT
4450 lines will be processed like any other lines. However,
4451 there are now much better ways of getting quoted HTML into
4452 the exported file.
4454 </li>
4455 </ul></div>
4461 <ul>
4462 <li>
4463 You can now use multiple sets of TODO keywords in the same
4464 buffer. For example, you may put the following three lines
4465 into a file:
4467 <p>
4468 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE
4469 #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED
4470 #+TYP_TODO: Fred Laura Peter Me OK
4471 </p>
4472 <p>
4473 Each sub-sequence has its own DONE state. It is best to use
4474 different keywords in all sequences, to make sure Org-mode
4475 does not loose track in which specific sequence it is
4476 working. You could use the same word for all DONE states,
4477 but then cycling through to a TODO state might not bring you
4478 where you want to be.
4479 </p>
4480 <p>
4481 After initially setting a keyword, `C-c C-t' cycles through
4482 a sublist, i.e. is cycles from TODO to DONE or from
4483 KNOWNCAUSE to RESOLVED and further to (nothing) and back to
4484 REPORT.
4485 </p>
4486 <p>
4487 S-right and S-left allow to select any keyword, so they move
4488 from DONE to REPORT and from RESOLVED to Fred.
4489 </p>
4490 <p>
4491 C-S-right and C-S-left jump from one sub-sequence to the
4492 next, for example from TODO or DONE to REPORT to Fred.
4493 </p>
4494 <p>
4495 Thanks to Rick Moynihan for triggering this development.
4496 </p>
4497 </li>
4498 <li>
4499 Text before the first headline can now be exported if you
4500 configure Org-mode accordingly. Either set the variable
4501 `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil, or use the
4502 new in-buffer option
4504 <p>
4505 #+OPTION: skip:nil
4506 </p>
4507 </li>
4508 <li>
4509 Export content specified via the #+TEXT construct is now
4510 fully processed, i.e. links, emphasis etc. are all
4511 interpreted. #+TEXT lines may include
4512 #+BEGIN_HTML…#+END_HTML sections to embed literal HTML.
4514 </li>
4515 <li>
4517 interpreted as a subscript, but to leave a_b as it is. This
4518 can be done by setting the variable
4519 org-export-sub-superscript to the symbol `{}' with
4521 <p>
4522 (setq org-export-sub-superscript '{})
4523 </p>
4524 <p>
4525 or by using
4526 </p>
4527 <p>
4528 #+OPTIONS: ^:{}

4530 <p>
4531 Thanks to Eddward DeVilla for this idea.
4532 </p>
4533 </li>
4534 <li>
4535 New variable `org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
4536 Default is nil, meaning that empty lines are part of the
4537 previous list item, and that you can have several paragraphs
4538 in one such item. Set this to t if you want an empty line
4539 terminate all levels of plain list items.
4541 <p>
4542 Thanks to Mike Newman for triggering this development.

4546 C-c RET does insert a horizontal separator line and move the
4547 cursor into the table line below it. Thanks to Bastien for
4548 this proposal.
4550 </li>
4551 <li>
4552 Org-mode always offers you to record a note when a TODO item
4553 automatically repeats, even if you are not logging state
4554 changes. The new variable `org-log-repeat' allows to turn
4555 this off, so that notes are really only been taken if you
4556 are logging all state changes.

4631 formulas. The column references without specified row can be
4633 easier to read and are now the default way how references are
4634 shown when you edit existing formulas. To get the old behavior
4635 back (i.e. only @row$col references), set the variable

4705 Synchronized with Emacs once more: Emacs CVS has now org-mode
4706 4.67. At least until it causes a problem, then the Emacs people

4767 The number of levels in the table of contents of an exported
4768 document can now be set independently of the number of headline
4769 levels. For example:
4771 <p>
4773 </p>
4774 </li>
4775 <li>
4776 The command `C-c }' toggles the display of row and column numbers
4777 the the current table, to aid constructing formulas. To try it,
4778 move the cursor to a table and press `C-c }', or use the menu
4779 entry.

4783 Orgtbl translation functions (introduced in 4.65) have been
4784 simplified using a generic function `orgtbl-to-generic' that can
4785 be used for very general languanges. Writing your own translator
4786 should be very easy now. More info in the manual.

4833 You can use orgtbl mode to maintain a LaTeX table, or pretty much
4834 any table in any mode.
4836 <p>
4838 would be a box of Pandora I am not willing to open. Instead, you
4839 use a normal Orgtbl-mode table, and a converter program to
4840 automatically place a LaTeX version of the table into the correct
4841 spot in the LaTeX file. The orgtbl-mode table can be maintained
4842 inside the same file, in a block comment.
4843 </p>
4844 <p>
4845 I am providing translators for LaTeX, HTML, and TeXInfo. For
4846 other applications, you need to write one yourself - but that is
4847 not hard if you start from the LaTeX version and just modify it.
4848 Thanks to Thomas Baumann for triggering this development through
4849 a request for a table-to-LaTeX converter.
4850 </p>

4853 In the special buffer to edit the formulas of a table (created
4854 with "C-c '"), there is now better support for editing Lisp
4855 formulas. TAB and M-TAB work like in an Emacs Lisp buffer,
4856 indenting lines and completing lisp symbols. With the cursor on
4857 a line defining a complex Lisp formula, a first press on TAB will
4858 convert the formula into a pretty-printed version with proper
4859 linebreaks and indentation. A second TAB folds the line back to
4860 the compact form.
4862 </li>
4863 <li>
4864 Tables in HTML export have now additional structure elements
4865 defined. The header (before the first hline) is wrapped into
4869 `org-export-html-table-tag' to get cleaner tables. Basically,
4870 tables now have horizontal lines only where needed, and no
4871 vertical lines at all, as generally recommended for tables in
4872 printed text. I like the new look, but I am not sure if this
4873 change will find general approval, please throw in your view if
4874 you like. Thanks to Scott for driving this, and to goud-H for
4875 pointing me to the row grouping in tables.
4877 </li>
4878 <li>
4879 In a table with calculation markers in the first column, you can
4880 now also put "/" into the first column. It indicates that this
4881 line should not be exported. The foremost application for this
4882 are lines containing only "<N>" markers for narrowing columns.

4899 Email links get better, configurable descriptions
4900 </li>
4901 <li>
4902 When inserting a link, selected text becomes the description
4903 </li>
4904 <li>
4905 Easier access to the list of stored links.

4908 Horizontal lines in HTML export.

4911 Remember templates and storing of notes improved.
4913 </li>
4914 </ul></div>
4920 <ul>
4921 <li>
4922 The descriptive part of links to email messages can be configured
4923 using the variable `org-email-link-description-format'. The new
4924 default is "Email %c: %.30s" and leads to
4926 <p>
4927 Email from NAME: SUBJECT
4928 </p>
4929 <p>
4930 If you configure the variable `org-from-is-user-regexp'
4932 </p>
4933 <p>
4934 Email to NAME: SUBJECT
4935 </p>
4936 <p>
4937 The subject is limited to 30 characters. If you have become
4938 attached to the previous default (look twice, the new one is
4939 better), use "%f on: %s" as your format.
4940 </p>
4941 </li>
4942 <li>
4943 Selecting text before entering a new link with C-c C-l now really
4944 works, the selected text becomes the description part of the
4945 link. Requested by Scott, buggy 4.62 implementation is now fixed.
4947 </li>
4948 <li>
4949 Stored links are part of the history list for C-c C-l, so to
4950 reach them, you can use up/down rather than completion. Thanks
4951 to Raman for this excellent idea.

4954 <li>
4958 </li>
4959 <li>

4964 You can use `org-remember' as your default command to start
4965 remember. It will automatically detect if there is an active
4966 region and use it as initial content (we will probably make
4967 remember.el work like this as well).
4968 Also, when calling `org-remember' in a remember buffer that
4969 was created with a template, you will again be asked to
4970 select a template. The buffer is then re-created with the
4971 new template, but the old context information. This is
4972 useful if you change your mind about the template to use
4973 (Leo's idea).
4975 </li>
4976 <li>
4979 become a subitem. In many cases this avoids or speeds up
4980 navigating to the right location. Both file and heading can
4981 be different for each template. Both are non-binding, you
4982 can change them while storing the note. However, when you
4983 exit remember with C-u C-c C-c, these defaults will be used
4984 without interaction.
4986 </li>
4987 <li>
4988 Templates can specify interactive fields. During expansion
4989 of the template, you will be prompted for the information in
4990 that field. For example %^t will pop up a calendar and ask
4991 you to select a date. This new feature follows a proposal
4992 from Leo, who in the mean time has said he does not need it
4993 anymore. But I liked it, so here it is :-)
4995 </li>
4996 <li>
4997 Templates can access information specific to the link type
4998 created, for example the author and subject of an email.
4999 Syntax is %:fromname, %:fromaddress, %:subject etc, details
5000 in the manual. Proposed by Peder O. Klingenberg.
5002 </li>
5003 <li>
5004 I have been considering to move, at some stage, the template
5005 functionality into remember.el itself - which would of course
5006 require consent of the remember.el maintainers. I am not
5007 sure how well this would work though, since some things like
5008 the interactive time stamps are org.el specific, so treating
5009 them would require special hooks. Comments?
