12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
14 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
15 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
17 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
18 docstring for more information.
19 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
20 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
21 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
22 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
24 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
25 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
26 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
27 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
28 accessible from the export dispatcher.
30 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
31 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
34 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
35 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
36 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
37 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
38 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
39 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
40 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
41 this variable locally.
42 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
43 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
44 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
45 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
46 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
47 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
49 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
50 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
51 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
52 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
53 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
54 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
55 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
57 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
58 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
59 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
60 ~org-drawers~ variable.
61 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
62 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
64 *** New option in ASCII export
65 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
66 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
67 *** New blocks in ASCII export
68 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
69 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
70 *** More back-end specific publishing options
71 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
72 increased. See manual for details.
73 *** Export inline source blocks
74 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
75 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
76 in the output, depending on the parameters.
77 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
78 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
79 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
80 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
81 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
82 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
83 *** Improve radio tables
84 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
85 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
86 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
87 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
88 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
89 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
90 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
91 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
92 source blocks exported by the minted package.
93 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
94 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
95 would throw an error. A new variable
96 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
97 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
98 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
100 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars.
102 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
103 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
104 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
105 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
106 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
107 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
109 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
110 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
111 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
112 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
113 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
114 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
115 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
116 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
117 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
118 particular test failure was introduced.
121 ** Incompatible changes
122 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
123 This may require two changes in user config.
125 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
126 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
127 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
129 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
131 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
132 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
133 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
135 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
136 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
138 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
142 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
144 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
146 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
147 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
148 option keywords like :html-include-style.
150 So you need to replace
152 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
156 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
158 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
159 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
161 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
163 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
164 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
165 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
167 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
168 the other optional arguments accordingly.
170 *** Export back-ends are now structures
172 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
173 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
174 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
177 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
179 ** Important bugfixes
181 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
182 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
184 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
186 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
187 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
188 separator starting a TOTO match string.
191 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
193 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
195 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
198 - Support for .pgf files
199 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
200 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
201 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
202 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
203 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
204 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
205 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
207 *** New functions for paragraph motion
209 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
210 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
211 in a paragraph-like way.
213 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
215 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
216 dalet, cdots, S (ยง), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
217 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
218 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
219 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
221 *** Anonymous export back-ends
223 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
224 which can then be passed to export functions like
225 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
227 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
228 registering a new back-end.
230 *** New agenda fortnight view
232 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
233 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
236 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
238 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
239 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
241 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
242 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
243 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
245 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
246 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
248 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
249 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
250 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
251 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
252 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
255 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
257 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
259 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
261 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
263 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
265 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
267 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
269 If you set this to the following
271 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
273 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
275 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
277 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
279 ** New contributed packages
281 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
282 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
285 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
286 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
290 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
292 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
293 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
294 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
295 the same with example blocks.
297 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
304 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
306 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
309 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
310 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
311 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
313 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
314 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
315 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
316 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
317 detailed explanations.
319 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
320 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
321 function has been called already.
323 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
326 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
328 ** Incompatible changes
330 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
332 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
334 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
335 you will have to update them.
337 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
339 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
340 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
342 **** New export engine
344 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
345 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
346 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
347 /all/ export back-ends.
349 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
350 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
351 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
352 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
353 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
355 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
356 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
358 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
359 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
360 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
361 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
363 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
365 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
367 should now be written
369 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
371 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
372 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
373 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
375 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
377 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
379 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
382 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
383 remember templates into capture templates.
385 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
387 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
388 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
390 **** Note for third-party developers
392 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
393 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
394 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
396 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
399 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
401 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
402 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
403 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
405 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
406 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
407 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
410 - org-colview-xemacs.el
417 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
418 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
419 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
421 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
422 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
424 ** New packages in core
426 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
428 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
430 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
432 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
434 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
436 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
437 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
439 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
441 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
443 ** New packages in contrib
445 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
447 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
449 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
452 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
454 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
455 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
457 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
460 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
462 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
464 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
466 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
468 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
469 for starting headlines.
471 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
473 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
474 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
475 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
476 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
478 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sรฉbastien Delafond
480 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
482 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
484 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
485 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
488 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
489 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
492 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
494 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
495 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
498 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
499 conversion from Org files to groff.
501 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
503 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
505 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
507 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
508 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
515 **** New export generic options
517 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
518 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
520 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
522 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
523 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
524 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
525 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
527 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
528 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
529 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
530 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
531 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
532 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
533 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
534 contains time-stamps.
536 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
537 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
538 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
540 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
542 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
544 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
546 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
548 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
549 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
550 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
551 *** Structure editing
553 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
554 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
556 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
557 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
559 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
561 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
562 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
563 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
564 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
567 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
569 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
570 _words__= will preserve markup.
572 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
574 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
575 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
576 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
578 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
580 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
581 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
583 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
585 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
586 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
587 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
588 forward and backward.
590 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
591 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
593 Now Org will sort this list
595 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
596 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
600 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
601 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
603 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
604 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
605 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
607 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
608 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
609 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
611 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
614 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
616 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
617 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
618 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
620 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
622 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
623 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
624 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
625 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
627 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
629 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
630 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
631 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
632 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
633 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
635 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
637 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
638 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
639 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
641 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
642 *** Scheduled/deadline
644 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
646 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
647 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
648 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
649 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
651 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
652 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
653 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
654 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
656 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
657 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
658 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
659 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
660 control this globally or per agenda.
662 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
664 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
666 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
668 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
669 *** Calendar, diary and appts
671 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
673 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
674 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
675 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
677 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
678 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
679 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
681 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
682 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
684 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
687 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
689 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
690 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
691 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
693 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
695 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
696 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
697 only show their description, not the full links.
700 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
702 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
703 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
704 want to build a list of appointments.
706 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
707 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
709 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
711 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
713 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
714 time value (i.e. appointments).
716 **** New agenda sorting strategies
718 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
720 | Strategy | Explanations |
721 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
722 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
723 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
724 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
725 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
726 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
727 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
728 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
729 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
730 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
731 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
733 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
735 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
736 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
737 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
739 These new options are available:
741 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
742 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
743 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
744 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
746 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
747 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
748 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
750 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
751 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
752 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
753 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
754 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
755 non-tagged headlines.
757 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
759 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
760 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
761 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
762 that take only =N= minutes.
764 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
766 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
767 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
768 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
770 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
772 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
773 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
775 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
777 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
778 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
780 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
783 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
785 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
786 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
787 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
789 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
790 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
792 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
794 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
795 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
797 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
799 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
801 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
802 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
805 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
807 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
808 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
809 asks for a confirmation.
811 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
813 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
814 the mark of the entry at point.
816 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
817 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
819 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
821 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
822 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
825 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
827 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
828 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
830 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
832 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
833 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
835 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
837 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
838 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
839 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
840 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
842 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
844 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
845 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
846 repeated beyond the current deadline.
848 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
850 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
851 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
852 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
853 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
855 Read the full docstring for details.
857 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
859 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
862 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
865 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
867 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
868 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
871 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
873 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
874 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
876 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
878 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
879 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
880 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
881 check against the name of the buffer.
884 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
885 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
886 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
889 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
890 agenda views, and for filtering.
892 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
896 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
898 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
899 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
900 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
902 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
903 as if the protocol was not known.
905 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
907 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
909 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
910 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
911 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
914 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
916 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
917 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
918 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
920 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
922 When storing a link to a headline like
924 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
926 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
927 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
928 there is no description.
931 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
933 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
934 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
935 those other formulas.
937 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
939 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
940 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
941 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
944 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
946 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
947 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
948 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
951 **** New lookup functions
953 There are now three lookup functions:
955 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
956 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
957 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
959 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
962 These new startup keywords are now available:
964 | Startup keyword | Option |
965 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
966 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
967 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
968 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
969 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
970 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
971 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
972 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
973 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
977 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
979 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
980 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
981 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
982 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
984 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
986 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
987 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
988 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
991 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
992 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
994 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
996 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
997 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
999 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1001 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1002 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1003 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1005 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1006 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1007 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1008 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1009 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1010 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1011 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1014 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1016 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1018 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1020 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1021 same target than the block at point.
1023 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1025 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1026 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1027 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1029 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1030 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1033 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1035 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1036 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1037 manual for a usage example.
1039 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1041 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1042 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1043 collecting blocks for tangling.
1045 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1046 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1048 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1049 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1050 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1051 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1053 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1054 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
1057 - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
1058 - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
1059 - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda
1060 - New face [[doc:org-tag-group][org-tag-group]] for group tags
1064 - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
1065 - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
1066 - [[doc:org-export-html-table-tag][org-export-html-table-tag]] is replaced by [[doc:org-html-table-default-attributes][org-html-table-default-attributes]]
1067 - Support using =git-annex= with Org attachments
1068 - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
1069 - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
1070 - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
1071 - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
1072 - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
1073 - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
1074 - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
1075 - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
1076 - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
1077 - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
1078 - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
1079 - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
1080 - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
1081 - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports MacOSX version up to 10.8
1082 - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
1086 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menรฉndez
1088 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1090 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1092 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1094 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by Franรงois Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1095 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1096 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1097 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1098 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1099 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1100 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be

1108 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1110 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1111 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1112 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1116 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1118 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1119 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1122 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1123 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1124 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1125 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1126 agenda type to this variable.
1128 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1131 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1132 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1133 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1134 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1136 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1138 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1139 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1140 invisible) blocked tasks.
1142 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1144 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1145 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1147 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1149 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1150 ** No GPL manual anymore
1152 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1153 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1155 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1157 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1159 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1160 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1161 in most environments.
1165 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1167 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1169 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1170 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
1173 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
1174 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
1175 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
1178 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
1180 ** Overview of the new keybindings
1182 | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
1183 |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|
1184 | =C-c C-x C-z= | | [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]] |
1185 | =C-c C-x C-q= | | [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]] |

1198 ** New package and Babel language
1200 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
1202 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
1204 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
1205 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
1207 ** Incompatible changes
1209 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
1210 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
1212 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
1215 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
1216 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
1217 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
1219 ** New features and user-visible changes
1223 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
1224 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
1225 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
1226 core and many core functions rely on this package.
1228 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
1229 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
1231 See the docstrings for more details.
1233 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
1234 on =org-element.el=.
1236 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
1238 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
1239 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
1240 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
1241 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
1243 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
1245 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
1246 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
1247 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
1248 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
1250 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
1252 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
1254 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
1256 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
1259 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
1260 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
1262 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
1263 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
1264 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
1267 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
1270 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
1271 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
1272 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
1274 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
1275 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
1276 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
1281 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
1283 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
1284 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
1285 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
1286 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
1288 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
1289 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
1290 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
1291 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
1292 generating new ones.
1294 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
1297 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1299 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1300 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
1303 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1304 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
1305 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
1308 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
1309 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
1310 details on how to use this.
1312 **** Changes in bulk actions
1314 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
1315 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
1317 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
1318 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
1319 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
1320 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
1321 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
1323 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
1324 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
1326 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
1327 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
1330 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
1332 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
1334 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
1336 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
1337 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
1339 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
1341 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
1342 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
1343 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
1344 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
1347 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1349 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
1352 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
1353 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
1354 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
1355 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
1356 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
1359 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
1361 See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
1363 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
1365 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
1366 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
1367 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
1368 filters and category filters.
1370 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
1371 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
1374 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
1375 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
1376 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
1381 **** Inserting links
1383 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
1384 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
1385 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
1388 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
1389 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
1390 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
1391 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
1393 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
1396 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
1398 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
1399 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
1400 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
1401 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
1403 **** New link type =help=
1405 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
1407 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
1408 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
1409 you go back to the same buffer.
1411 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
1413 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
1414 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
1417 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
1419 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
1421 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
1423 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
1425 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
1427 **** RET now follows time stamps links
1431 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
1433 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
1434 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
1435 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
1436 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
1438 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
1440 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
1441 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
1442 all headlines in the region.
1444 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
1446 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
1448 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
1449 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
1451 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
1453 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
1455 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
1457 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
1459 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
1461 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
1462 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
1463 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
1468 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
1470 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
1472 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
1474 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
1475 clocked entry, if any.
1477 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
1479 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
1481 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
1483 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
1484 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
1487 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
1488 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
1489 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
1493 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
1495 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
1498 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
1500 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
1501 cells in clockreport.
1503 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
1504 time cells in clockreport.
1507 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
1509 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
1510 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
1512 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
1513 in the mode line and/or frame title.
1515 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
1516 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
1517 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
1518 space in the frame title.
1522 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
1524 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
1525 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
1526 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
1527 don't want to see temporarily.
1529 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
1531 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
1533 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1535 There are these new entities:
1537 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
1538 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
1539 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
1540 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
1541 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
1542 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
1544 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
1545 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
1546 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
1548 The face is back to a normal height.
1552 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
1553 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
1555 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
1556 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
1558 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
1560 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
1561 block will use its value as the column format.
1563 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
1565 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
1567 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
1569 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
1571 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
1572 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
1573 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
1574 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
1576 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
1580 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
1582 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
1584 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
1586 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
1588 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
1589 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
1590 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
1592 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
1594 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
1595 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
1596 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
1600 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
1602 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
1603 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
1604 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
1605 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
1607 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
1609 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1610 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
1613 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1614 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
1615 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
1618 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
1619 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
1620 more details on how to use this.
1622 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
1623 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
1625 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
1626 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
1629 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
1631 See the manual for more explanations.
1633 **** More control over empty lines
1635 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
1636 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
1639 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
1641 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
1645 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
1647 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
1648 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
1649 available) to print beautiful tables.
1651 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
1653 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
1654 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
1657 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
1659 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
1660 in the #+DATE option.
1662 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
1664 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
1666 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
1667 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
1669 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
1670 More languages are always welcome.
1672 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
1674 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
1675 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
1677 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
1678 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
1679 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
1680 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
1681 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
1682 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
1684 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
1685 to Sรฉbastien Vauban for this patch.
1689 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
1691 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
1694 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
1696 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
1697 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
1699 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
1701 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
1703 It used to exports the results of the code.
1707 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
1708 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
1710 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
1711 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
1713 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
1715 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
1716 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
1717 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
1719 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
1720 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
1722 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
1723 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
1724 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
1727 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
1729 This will increment the effort value.
1731 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
1733 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
1735 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
1736 attach symbolic links.
1738 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
1740 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
1742 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
1743 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
1745 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
1747 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
1749 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
1750 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
1751 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
1753 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
1755 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
1756 all top level list items.
1758 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
1760 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
1762 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
1763 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
1765 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
1767 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
1769 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
1770 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
1771 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
1772 first headline in the region.
1774 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
1776 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
1779 ** Important bug fixes
1781 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
1783 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
1784 perform completion with meaningful values.
1786 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
1788 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
1789 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
1790 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1792 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
1793 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
1795 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
1796 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
1799 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
1800 the code and the license to your needs.
1802 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
1803 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
1807 ** Incompatible changes
1809 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
1811 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
1813 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
1815 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
1816 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
1817 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
1818 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
1821 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
1823 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
1824 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
1825 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
1827 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
1829 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
1830 =org-agenda-span= instead.
1832 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
1834 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
1836 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
1837 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
1838 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
1839 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
1840 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
1842 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
1843 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
1844 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
1845 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
1846 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
1847 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
1849 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
1850 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
1851 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
1854 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
1857 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
1858 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
1859 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
1860 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
1862 The two new variables are:
1864 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
1865 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
1866 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
1867 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
1868 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
1869 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
1870 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
1872 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
1873 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
1876 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
1879 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
1880 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
1881 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
1882 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
1884 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
1885 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
1886 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
1887 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
1890 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
1891 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
1892 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
1893 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
1894 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
1895 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
1898 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
1899 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
1900 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
1901 applies to the following packages:
1919 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
1920 you are using, you can remove it from
1921 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
1922 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
1925 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
1926 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
1927 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
1928 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
1929 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
1932 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
1934 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
1935 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
1936 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
1939 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
1941 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
1943 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
1945 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
1947 ** Important new features
1949 *** New Org to ODT exporter
1951 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
1953 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
1954 for more information on how to customize it.
1956 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
1958 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
1959 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
1960 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
1961 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
1963 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
1964 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
1965 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
1967 To switch over to the new system:
1971 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
1973 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
1974 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
1975 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
1976 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
1977 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
1979 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
1981 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
1984 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
1987 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
1989 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
1990 you have decided to move over completely to the new
1991 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
1992 with using both system in parallel.
1996 *** New Org libraries
1997 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
1999 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2001 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2003 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2005 To use, put the following in your init file:
2008 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2011 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2012 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2013 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2014 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2015 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2016 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2017 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2018 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2019 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2022 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2024 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2025 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2027 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2029 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2030 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2031 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2034 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2035 call function to do something special with text links.
2037 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2039 **** org-docview.el (Jan Bรถcker)
2041 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2042 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2043 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2046 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2048 Thanks to Jan Bรถcker for this contribution.
2050 *** New Babel libraries
2052 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2053 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2054 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2055 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2056 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2057 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2058 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2060 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2064 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2066 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2067 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2068 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2069 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2070 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2071 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2073 The key new functions are
2075 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2076 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2077 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2079 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2080 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2082 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2083 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2085 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2086 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2088 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2090 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2091 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2092 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2094 **** Modified link escaping
2096 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2098 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2099 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2100 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2101 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2104 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2105 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2106 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2107 : percent escaped links are solved.
2109 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2111 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2113 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2114 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2116 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2118 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2120 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2121 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2122 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2123 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2124 string to be executed.
2126 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2127 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2131 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2132 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2135 Thanks to Jan Bรถcker for a patch to this effect.
2139 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2141 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2142 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2143 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2144 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2146 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2147 will work on the current entry.
2149 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2150 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2152 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2154 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2156 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2159 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2160 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2165 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2167 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2168 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2169 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2171 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
2173 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
2174 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
2175 entries using a function.
2177 Thanks to Peter Mรผnster for raising a related issue and to
2178 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Mรผnster for
2179 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
2181 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
2183 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
2184 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
2185 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
2187 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
2189 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
2190 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
2191 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
2192 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
2193 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
2194 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
2196 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
2200 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
2202 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
2203 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
2205 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
2206 docstring of these variable for details about available
2209 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
2210 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
2211 formatting string will insert a string.
2213 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
2215 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
2216 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
2217 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
2218 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
2219 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
2220 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
2221 C-e u=, respectively.
2223 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
2224 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
2225 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
2226 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
2227 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
2230 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
2232 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
2233 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
2235 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
2237 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
2238 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
2240 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
2242 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
2243 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
2244 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
2245 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
2246 section]] in the manual for more details.
2248 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
2249 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
2250 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
2255 **** Refile targets can now be cached
2257 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
2258 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
2259 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
2260 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
2261 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
2263 **** New logging support for refiling
2265 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
2266 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
2269 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
2273 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
2275 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
2279 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
2281 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
2282 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
2284 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
2286 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
2287 the displayed in the buffer.
2289 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
2291 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
2293 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
2294 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
2296 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
2297 |--------+--------+---------|
2298 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
2299 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
2301 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
2304 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
2307 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
2309 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
2311 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
2312 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
2319 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
2320 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
2323 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
2325 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
2327 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
2328 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
2330 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
2334 **** Improved handling of lists
2336 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
2338 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
2339 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
2340 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
2343 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
2344 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
2345 counters like [@c] or [@W].
2347 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
2348 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
2349 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
2350 `org-list-export-context'.
2352 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
2353 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
2354 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
2356 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
2357 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
2358 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
2359 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
2360 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
2362 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
2363 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
2364 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
2366 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
2368 *** Inline display of linked images
2370 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
2371 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
2372 that have no description part will be inlined.
2374 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
2376 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
2377 from 1, you can now do it like this:
2379 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
2381 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
2383 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
2384 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
2385 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
2386 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
2387 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
2388 into account all header arguments, and variables.
2390 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
2391 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
2392 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
2395 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
2396 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
2397 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
2398 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
2399 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
2400 properties or in tables.
2402 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
2403 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
2404 names, and rownames across all languages.
2406 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
2408 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
2410 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
2411 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
2412 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
2414 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
2416 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
2417 request by Scott Otterson.
2419 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
2421 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
2422 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
2423 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
2424 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
2425 superscripts, see the variable
2426 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
2428 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
2430 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
2432 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
2433 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
2434 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
2435 following new faces:
2437 =org-document-title=
2439 =org-document-info-keyword=
2441 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
2442 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
2444 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
2446 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
2448 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
2449 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
2450 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
2451 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
2452 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
2453 property is affected by this setting.
2455 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
2456 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
2458 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
2460 Requested by Michael Brand.
2462 **** Better level cycling function
2464 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
2465 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
2466 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
2467 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
2469 **** Adaptive filling
2471 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
2472 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
2473 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
2474 comments to be filled correctly.
2476 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
2478 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
2480 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
2482 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
2484 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
2485 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
2487 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
2491 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
2493 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
2494 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
2495 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
2496 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
2498 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
2500 **** Localized clock tables
2502 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
2503 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
2504 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
2505 available translated strings.
2507 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
2509 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
2510 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
2511 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
2512 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
2514 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
2516 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
2518 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
2519 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
2520 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
2521 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
2524 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
2528 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
2530 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
2531 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
2533 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
2535 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
2537 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
2538 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
2539 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
2542 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
2545 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
2547 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
2548 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
2553 org-table-current-line
2557 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
2559 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
2560 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
2563 This was requested by Tom.
2565 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
2567 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
2568 example by viewing from the agenda.
2570 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
