20 Bug fixes, in particular the long-hunted bug about wrong window
21 positions after pressing SPACE in the agenda. Hopefully this
22 is really fixed.

120 The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'
121 introduced only in 5.19 is already obsolete. Please use
122 `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead.
124 </li>
125 </ul></div>
136 <ul>
137 <li>
138 The use of prefix arguments for the commands `org-remember'
139 and `org-refile' has been normalized:
141 <ul>
142 <li>
143 when called without prefix argument, the command does its
144 normal job, starting a remember note or refiling a tree.
146 </li>
147 <li>
148 when called with a single C-u prefix, these commands can be
149 used to select a target location and to jump there. In
150 the case of `org-remember', you will be prompted for a
151 template and then Emacs jumps to the default target
152 location or this template. In the case of `org-refile',
153 you select a location from the refile target list and jump
154 there.
156 </li>
157 <li>
158 when called with two prefixes (`C-u C-u'), the command
159 jumps to the location last used for storing a note or a
160 moved tree.
162 </li>
163 </ul></li>
164 <li>
165 When the clock is running inside an remember buffer, storing
166 the remember buffer with `C-c C-c' will automatically clock
167 out. This was inspired by a request by Rainer Stengle.
169 </li>
170 <li>
171 The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'
172 introduced only in 5.19 is already obsolete. Please use
173 `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead. This new
174 variable does select the interface that is used to select
175 the target for a remember note in an interactive way.
176 Possible values are:
178 <ul>
179 <li>
180 `outline': Use an outline of the document to select a
181 location.
182 </li>
183 <li>
184 `outline-path-completion': Use completion of an outline
185 path to select a location.
186 </li>
187 <li>
188 `refile': Offer the `org-refile-targets' as possible
189 targets.
191 </li>
192 </ul></li>
193 <li>
194 It is no longer necessary to update the refiling targets -
195 they are always current.
197 </li>
198 <li>
199 In `org-goto', typing characters now automatically starts
200 isearch from the beginning of the buffer. The isearch is
201 special also because it only matches in headline. This
202 goes some way toward saving org-goto from being removed
203 from Org-mode. Thanks to Piotr Zielinski for the code, and
204 sorry that it took me so long to put it in. If you prefer
205 to use single letters n,p,f,b,u,q for navigation as before,
206 configure the variable `org-goto-auto-isearch'.
208 </li>
209 <li>
210 Outline-path-completion is now available as an alternative
211 interface in the command `org-goto'. Please select the
212 default interface you'd like to use with the new variable
213 `org-goto-interface'. You can then select the alternative
214 interface with a prefix argument to `C-c C-j' (org-goto). I
215 am considering to make outline-path-completion the default
216 interface. Comments?
219 </li>
220 </ul></div>
226 <ul>
227 <li>
228 Checkboxes now work hierarchically. When a plain-list item
229 with a checkbox has children with checkboxes, the status of
230 the item's checkbox is calculated from the children, each
231 time a checkbox is toggled with C-c C-c. Thanks to Miguel
232 A. Figueroa-Villanueva for a patch to this effect.
234 </li>
235 <li>
236 There is a new variable `org-special-ctrl-k'. When set,
237 `C-k' will behave specially in headlines:
239 <ul>
240 <li>
241 When the cursor is at the beginning of a headline, kill
242 the entire line and possible the folded subtree below the
243 line.
244 </li>
245 <li>
246 When in the middle of the headline text, kill the
247 headline up to the tags.
248 </li>
249 <li>
250 When after the headline text, kill the tags.
252 </li>
253 </ul>
254 <p>This is following a proposal by Piotr Zielinski.
255 </p>
256 </li>
257 <li>
258 You can now also have a plain (as opposed to deadline or
259 scheduled) repeater timestamp in a task. Switching the task
260 to DONE will now also shift a plain time stamp. This was a
261 request by Austin Frank.
263 </li>
264 <li>
265 If an entry is clocked multiple times, it will now show up
266 several times in the agenda and timeline buffers, when
267 log-mode is on. This was a proposal by Jurgen Defurne.
269 </li>
270 <li>
272 parameter can be `day' or `week' and will result in separate
273 tables for each day or week in the requested time interval.
274 This was triggered by a proposal by Sacha Chua in her <a href="http://sachachua.com/wp/2007/12/30/clocking-time-with-emacs-org/">blog</a>.
276 </li>
277 <li>
278 A time-stamp with a repeater now no longer refers to the
280 today or the most recent match. This change makes sure that
281 overdue scheduled or deadline items never disappear from the
282 agenda. With the previous convention, an overdue scheduled
283 item would disappear. For example, a weekly item scheduled
284 for Sunday would appear as overdue until Wednesday, and the
285 suddenly disappear until next Sunday. Now the item will
286 show up as "Sched 7x" on Saturday. From Sunday on it will
287 be in the list as "Scheduled", i.e. old sins will be
288 forgiven. This follows a request by Warong, Dennis and
289 Bernt.
291 </li>
292 <li>
293 Archiving a subtree now creates an additional property,
295 outline tree to the archived entry, as it was in the
297 following hierarchy
299 <p>
300 <pre>
301 * Tasks
302 ** HOME
303 *** Garage
304 **** Fix the door
305 </pre>
306 </p>
307 <p>
308 will file is with the following property
309 </p>
310 <p>
311 <pre>
312 :ARCHIVE_PATH: Task/HOME/Garage
313 </pre>
314 </p>
315 <p>
316 Note that you can configure (i.e. limit) the information
317 that gets stored upon archiving with the variable
318 `org-archive-save-context-info'.
319 </p>
320 </li>
321 <li>
322 New file `org-mac-message.el' by John Wiegley to create
323 links for messages in Apple Mail, and to follow these
324 links.

344 <ul>
345 <li>
346 Column view can list the clocked times of a subtree.
348 </li>
349 <li>
350 Storing remember notes can use the `org-refile' interface.
352 </li>
353 <li>
354 Storing remember notes no longer produced empty lines.
356 </li>
357 <li>
358 Moving subtrees now folds all siblings of the subtree.
360 </li>
361 <li>
362 New variable `org-agenda-todo-keyword-format'.
364 </li>
365 <li>
366 Hack to allow brackets in link descriptions.

369 <li>
370 Clocking into an entry can enforce a specific TODO state.

374 EXPORT_FILE_NAME may be an absolute file name with "~".

378 Bug fixes, lots of them.
380 </li>
381 </ul></div>
387 <ul>
388 <li>
389 A new special column definition lists the sum of all CLOCK
390 entries in a subtree. For example
392 <p>
393 <pre>
395 </pre>
396 </p>
397 <p>
398 will allow you to compare estimated times (as given in the
399 Time_Estimate property) with the clocked times. This was a
400 request by Bernt Hansen.
401 </p>
402 </li>
403 <li>
404 Storing remember notes can now use the `org-refile'
405 interface instead of the `org-goto' interface (see the
406 variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive').
407 Nothing will change if the note is stored immediately after
409 have chosen (e.g. by pressing `C-u C-c C-c') to
410 interactively select the filing location (file and
411 headline), the refile interface will be used instead. I am
412 excited about this change, because the `org-goto' interface
413 is basically a failure, at least for this application. Note
414 that in any case the refile interface has to be configured
415 first by customizing `org-refile-targets'.
417 </li>
418 <li>
419 Notes inserted with remember now remove any whitespace
420 before and after the note before being pasted, so that there
421 will be no empty lines inserted together with the note. We
422 could invent special syntax in remember templates to allow
423 creating empty lines before a note - is there anyone who'd
424 want this?
426 </li>
427 <li>
428 Moving subtrees now folds all siblings of the subtree. This
429 is the only reasonably simple way I could find to avoid the
430 reported inconsistencies in the folding state of the outline
431 tree after moving entries. There are reasons to like this
432 new behavior, because it easily visualizes where the tree is
433 located after the move. Still, not everyone might be happy
434 with this. Massive complaining would be needed to make me
435 fix this.
437 </li>
438 <li>
439 New variable `org-agenda-todo-keyword-format' to specify the
440 width of the TODO keyword field in the agenda display. Use
441 it to get things to line up better. This was a proposal by
442 Rainer Stengele.
444 </li>
445 <li>
446 If a link description inserted with `C-c C-l' contains
447 brackets, the brackets will now be converted into curly
448 braces. This looks similar enough. Supporting brackets in
449 link descriptions is, for technical reasons too long to
450 explain here, complex.
452 </li>
453 <li>
454 The new option `org-clock-in-switch-to-state' can be set to
455 a TODO state that will be enforced when the clock is started
456 on an entry. This follows an idea by Sacha Chua.
458 </li>
459 <li>
460 The EXPORT_FILE_NAME property may now also be an absolute
461 file name, and it may contain abbreviations like "~" for the
462 users home directory. This was requested by Adam Spiers.
464 </li>
465 <li>
466 Bug fixes, lots of them.
468 </li>
469 </ul></div>

476 <p>
477 Minor fixes.
478 </p>
479 </div>
495 <ul>
496 <li>
497 When cutting, pasting, or moving subtrees and items, the
499 part and will be moved with it. There is one exception to
500 this rule: If the first child is moved down (or,
501 equivalently, the second is moved up), the amount of empty
504 sounds complicated, but it allows to have extra empty space
505 before the first child and still have good behavior of the
506 subtree motion commands.
508 </li>
509 <li>
510 Plain lists items work the same.
512 </li>
513 </ul>
514 <p>I believe we have finally nailed this one. Thanks to Daniel
515 Pittman for bring this up again and to Eric Schulte for
517 that really count.
518 </p>
519 <p>
520 This change was non-trivial, please give it a good test and
521 let me know about any problems.
522 </p>
523 </div>
529 <ul>
530 <li>
531 The new command `org-remember-goto-last-stored' will jump
532 to the location of the remember note stored most recently.
533 If you have `org-remember' on a key like `C-c r', then you
534 can go to the location with a double prefix arg: `C-u C-u
535 C-c r'. This was a proposal by Rainer Stengele.
537 </li>
538 <li>
539 Template items that are being prompted for can now specify
540 a default value and a completion table. Furthermore,
541 previous inputs at a specific prompt are captured in a
542 history variable. For example:
544 <p>
545 <pre>
546 %^{Author|Roald Dahl|Thomas Mann|Larry Niven}
547 </pre>
548 </p>
549 <p>
550 will prompt for an author name. Pressing RET without
551 typing anything will select "Roald Dahl". Completion will
552 give you any of the three names. And a history will be
553 kept, so you can use the arrow keys to get to previous
554 input. The history is tied to the prompt. By using the
555 same prompt in different templates, you can build a history
556 across templates. The ideas for this came from proposals
557 by Bastien and Adam.
558 </p>
559 </li>
560 <li>
561 When a remember template contains the string `%!', the note
562 will be stored immediately after all template parts have
563 been filled in, so you don't even have to press `C-c
564 C-c'. The was a proposal by Adam Spiers.
566 </li>
567 </ul></div>
573 <ul>
574 <li>
575 `org-refile-targets' has a new parameter to specify a
576 maximum level for target selection. Thanks to Wanrong Lin
577 for this proposal.
579 </li>
580 <li>
581 When the new option `org-refile-use-outline-path' is set,
582 refile targets will be presented like a file path to the
583 completion interface: "level 1/level 2/level 3". This
584 may be the fastest interface yet to get to a certain
585 outline entry. Do we need to use this interface in other
586 places? Thanks to Jose Ruiz for this proposal.
588 </li>
589 </ul></div>
590 </div>
591 </div>
607 <p>
608 You can now permanently lock the agenda construction to a
609 certain scope, like a file or a subtree. So instead of
610 pressing "<" for each command in the agenda dispatcher, you
611 only once select a restriction scope. All subsequent agenda
612 commands will than respect this restriction. For example,
613 you can use this at work, to limit agendas to your work file
614 or tree, and at home to limit to the home file or tree. Or
615 you can use it during the day in order to focus in on certain
616 projects.
617 </p>
618 <p>
619 You select a scope with the command `C-c C-x <', which
620 restricts to the current subtree. When called with a `C-u'
621 prefix, the restriction is to the current file. You can also
622 make restrictions from the speedbar frame, see below.
623 </p>
624 <p>
625 When making a new restriction and an agenda window is
626 currently visible, it will immediately be updated to reflect
627 the new scope. TO if you like you can display an agenda view
628 and then watch it change in various scopes.
629 </p>
630 <p>
631 To get rid of the restriction, use the command "C-c C-x >".
633 in the dispatcher will disable the restriction lock and
634 select a new restriction.
635 </p>
636 <p>
637 Thanks to Rick Moynihan for triggering this development.
638 </p>
639 </div>
645 <ul>
646 <li>
647 Org-mode now supports Imenu. For example, with the setting
649 <p>
650 <pre>
651 (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
652 (lambda () 'imenu-add-to-menubar "Imenu"))
653 </pre>
654 </p>
655 <p>
656 a menu will be created in each Org-mode buffer that
658 depth of the menu can be set with the variable
659 `org-imenu-depth'.
660 </p>
661 </li>
662 <li>
663 org-mode now supports Speedbar. This means that you can
664 drill into the first and second level headlines of an
665 Org-mode file right from the speedbar frame.
667 </li>
668 <li>
669 You can set a restriction lock for the Org-mode agenda to a
670 file or a subtree directly from the speedbar frame. Just
671 press "<" with the cursor on an Org-mode file or subtree to
672 set the lock and immediately update the agenda if it is
673 visible. Use ">" to get rid of the lock again.

844 I know that some people have defined their own private helper

885 New command `org-refile' to quickly move a note to a
886 different place. It is bound to `C-c C-w'. The foremost
887 application might be to put a note or task captured with
888 `remember' into the proper list or project. The command
889 offers a list of possible refiling targets for completion.
890 These are headings under which the entry will be inserted
891 as a subitem. By default, this will offer all top-level
892 headings in the current buffer, but you can configure the
893 variable `org-refile-targets' to get more complex
894 definitions. For example:
896 <p>
897 <pre>
898 (setq org-refile-targets '((nil . (:level . 2))))
899 </pre>
900 </p>
901 <p>
902 selects all level 2 headlines in the current buffer as
903 targets. And
904 </p>
905 <p>
906 <pre>
907 (setq org-refile-targets
908 '((org-agenda-files . (:tag . "refile"))))
909 </pre>
910 </p>
911 <p>
912 searches all agenda files and selects headlines that are
913 explicitly marked with the tag :refile: . Note that the
914 list of targets is built upon first use only, to rebuilt
915 it, call the command `C-c C-w' with a double prefix
916 argument.
917 </p>
918 <p>
919 This is based on an idea and example implementation by Max
920 Mikhanosha. Many thanks Max.
921 </p>
922 </li>
923 <li>
924 You can now use a C-u prefix on `org-remember' to jump to
925 the location where a specific templates stores its notes.
926 For example, if you have `org-remember' bound to `C-c r',
927 then `C-u C-c r n' will get you to the file and headline
928 given in the template associated with the letter "n".
930 <p>
931 This was proposed by someone, but I have lost track who.
932 Sorry, and thanks anyway.

936 New %-escapes in remember templates:
938 <p>
939 <pre>
940 %c insert the current clipboard, like C-y would do
941 %(..) evaluate Lisp expression and insert the result
942 %[..] include file
943 </pre>
944 </p>
945 <p>
946 Thanks to Adam Spiers and Tim O'Callaghan.
947 </p>
948 </li>
949 <li>
950 New function `org-remember-insinuate' that makes is easier
951 to set Org-mode specific values for remember variables.
952 Thanks to Michael Olson for this proposal. It is
953 equivalent to:
955 <p>
956 <pre>
957 (require 'remember)
958 (setq remember-annotation-functions '(org-remember-annotation))
959 (setq remember-handler-functions '(org-remember-handler))
960 (add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'org-remember-apply-template))
961 </pre>
962 </p>
963 <p>
964 You might still want to set `org-default-notes-file' to
965 provide a default for templates without a file, and
966 `org-directory' to show where to find other org files.
967 </p>
968 </li>
969 </ul></div>
975 <ul>
976 <li>
977 Stacked emphasis like */bold italic/* is no longer allowed.
979 </li>
980 <li>
981 You may finally emphasize a single character like *a*.
983 </li>
984 <li>
985 Font-lock now can hide the emphasis markers, just like Muse
986 does. Configure the variable `org-hide-emphasis-markers'
987 if you want this. Showing the characters continues to be
988 the default in Org-mode.
990 </li>
991 <li>
992 Text in the "=" emphasis is now exported verbatim, i.e. no
993 further parsing and interpretation of this text takes place. So
994 you can write =quoted *xxx* a_x = b=. This and the following
995 point implement a request by Daniel Clemente.
997 </li>
998 <li>
999 There is a new emphasis marker "~" which marks text to be
1000 exported verbatim, without special formatting. Inside an
1001 org-mode file, this text is highlighted with the org-verbatim
1002 face. I am not happy with the face yet (currently is is like
1003 org-code, but underlined), please suggest a better one.
1005 </li>
1006 <li>
1007 Whether an emphasis environment is verbatim or not is now an
1008 extra flag in the variable `org-emphasis-alist'. If you have
1009 configured this variable, do it again by first canceling your
1010 customization to revert to the default, and then adding it
1011 again.
1013 </li>
1014 <li>
1015 New variable `org-highlight-latex-fragments-and-specials'.
1016 When turned on, Org-mode will highlight all strings that
1017 are treated in a special way by the exporters. This is
1018 great for export-oriented writing, but maybe a bit noisy
1019 for note taking, so this feature is off by default.
1021 </li>
1022 </ul></div>
1028 <ul>
1029 <li>
1030 `org-use-property-inheritance' may now also be a list of
1031 property names that should be treated with inheritance
1032 during searches.
1034 </li>
1035 <li>
1037 even if the category is not specified as a property in the
1038 entry, but rather is inherited or derived from #+CATEGORY.
1039 Thanks to Adam, Tim, and Bastien for an interesting
1040 discussion around this issue.

1044 Summary type improvements in column view.
1045 <ul>
1046 <li>
1047 The {+} summary type can specify a printf-style output
1048 format for computed values like this: {+;%5.2f}
1049 This was triggered by a report by Levin.
1050 </li>
1051 <li>
1052 New currency summary type {$}, which so far is just a
1053 shorthand for {+;%.2f}. Do we need to have a currency
1054 symbol in front of each value. Scott Jaderholm asked for
1055 this, but I am not sure if this is already what he meant.

1067 the date prompt.
1068 </p>
1069 <ul>
1070 <li>
1071 While entering data at the date prompt, the current
1072 interpretation of your input is shown next to your input in
1073 the minibuffer. I find this great to understand how the
1074 input works. If you find the extra stuff in the minibuffer
1075 annoying, turn it off with `org-read-date-display-live'.
1077 </li>
1078 <li>
1079 The date prompt now prefers to select the future. If you
1080 enter a date without a month, and the day number is before
1081 today (for example, on the 16th of the month you enter
1082 "9"), Org-mode will assume next month. Similarly, if you
1083 enter a month and no year, next year will be assumed if the
1084 entered month is before the current, for example if you
1085 enter "May" in September. Thanks to John Rakestraw for
1086 this great suggestion. If you find it confusing, turn it
1087 off with `org-read-date-prefer-future'.
1089 </li>
1090 <li>
1091 When modifying an existing date using `C-c .' at the stamp,
1092 the time or time range in the stamp are now offered as
1093 default input at the prompt. This goes a long way to
1094 simplifying the modification of an existing date. Thanks
1095 to Adam Spiers for this proposal.

1120 </table>
1123 <p>
1124 You can turn this globally on or off with
1125 `org-export-with-special-strings' or locally with "-:t" or
1126 "-:nil" in the #+OPTIONS line. Thanks to Adam Spiers for
1127 starting the discussion, and thanks to Daniel Clemente and

1162 You can now select the sectioning structure of your LaTeX
1163 export by setting it either globally
1164 (`org-export-latex-default-class') or locally in each Org
1165 file (with #+LaTeX_CLASS: myclass). You can also customize
1166 the list of available classes and their sectioning
1167 structures through the new `org-export-latex-classes'
1168 option. Thanks to Daniel for discussions and suggestion on
1169 this issue.

1173 You can send and receive radio lists in HTML,
1174 LaTeX or TeXInfo, just as you send and receive radio

1217 When interpopating into Lisp formulas in the spreadsheet,
1218 the values of constants and properties are no longer
1219 enclosed into parenthesis. When interpolating for calc,
1220 this still happens in order to allow expressions in
1221 constants. This problem was reported by Eddward DeVilla.
1223 </li>
1224 <li>
1225 When a directory is listed in `org-agenda-files', all files
1226 with extension matched by the new variable
1227 `org-agenda-file-regexp' in that directory will be agenda
1228 files.

1330 </li>
1331 <li>
1332 You can now capture a column view into a dynamic block, for
1333 exporting or printing it. The column view can be
1335 <ul>
1336 <li>
1337 global, i.e. for the entire file
1338 </li>
1339 <li>
1340 local, i.e. for the subtree where the dynamic block is
1341 </li>
1342 <li>
1343 from an entry with a specific :ID: property.
1345 </li>
1346 </ul>
1347 <p>You can identify the entry whose column view you want to
1348 capture by assigning an :ID: property, and use that property
1349 in the dynamic block definition. For example:
1350 </p>
1351 <p>
1352 <pre>
1353 * Planning
1354 :PROPERTIES:
1355 :ID: planning-overview
1356 :END:
1358 [...]
1360 * The column view
1363 #+END:
1364 </pre>
1365 </p>
1366 <p>
1367 Use `C-c C-x r' to insert such a dynamic block, and you will
1368 be prompted for the ID.
1369 </p>
1370 </li>
1371 <li>
1372 When the current column format displays TODO keyword,
1373 priority or tags, these parts are stripped from the content
1374 of the ITEM column, making for more compact and readable
1375 entries. When any of these "properties" are not listed in
1376 the current column format, they are instead retained in the
1377 ITEM column.
1379 </li>
1380 <li>
1381 You can now also edit the ITEM column with `e'.
1383 </li>
1384 </ul></div>
1390 <ul>
1391 <li>
1392 Instead of pressing `1' to restrict an agenda command to
1393 the current buffer, or `0' to restrict it to the current
1394 subtree or region, you can now also press `<' once or
1396 commands, a request by Bastien. In fact, "<" cycles
1398 still available for backward compatibility, until you bind
1399 them to custom commands.
1401 </li>
1402 <li>
1403 The access code to custom agenda commands can now contain
1404 several characters, effectively allowing to bundle several
1405 similar commands into a sub-keymap. This follows an
1406 excellent proposal by Adam Spiers. For example:
1408 <p>
1409 <pre>
1410 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
1415 </pre>
1416 </p>
1417 </li>
1418 <li>
1419 The user function option in org-agenda-custom-commands may
1420 now also be a lambda expression, following a request by
1421 Adam Spiers.

1616 <li>
1617 `C-c C-k' will abort taking a note. You can use this in remember
1618 buffers and when taking a logging note (e.g. for a state
1619 change). Thanks to Bastien.

1622 <li>
1623 `C-c C-x C-w' and `C-c C-x M-w' now accept a prefix arg to
1624 cut N sequential subtrees. This was a proposal by John.
1626 </li>
1627 <li>
1628 Lines in the agenda are now bold if they have priority A and
1629 italic if they have priority C. You can turn this off using
1630 the variable `org-agenda-fontify-priorities'. Thanks to
1631 John Wiegley for the idea and code.

1634 <li>
1635 New variable `org-scheduled-past-days' to set the number a
1636 scheduled item will be listed after its date has passed.
1637 Default is 10000, i.e. indefinitely.

1640 <li>
1641 New variables `org-agenda-deadline-leaders' and
1642 `org-agenda-scheduled-leaders' to adjust the leading text o
1643 scheduled items and deadline in the agenda. Thanks to John
1644 Wiegley for a patch.

1647 <li>
1648 New sparse tree function `org-sparse-tree'. This is now the
1649 default binding for `C-c /'. It requires one additional
1650 keypress to select a command, but in return is provides a
1651 single interface to all the different sparse tree commands,
1652 with full completion support.
1654 </li>
1655 <li>
1656 The variable `org-ellipsis' now defaults to the face
1657 `org-link' because the visibility of the dots is really bad
1658 and I have found this change very useful indeed.

1667 <li>
1668 New variable `org-use-property-inheritance'. Configure it

1762 The LOGGING property allows to modify the settings for

1765 <p>
1766 <pre>
1767 :PROPERTIES:
1768 :LOGGING: nologging nologrepeat
1769 :END:
1770 </pre>

1777 <li>
1778 The properties SUMMARY, DESCRIPTION and LOCATION have
1779 special meaning during iCalendar export, when they translate
1780 to the corresponding VEVENT and VTODO fields. If not given,
1781 Org-ode continues to use cleaned-up version of the headline
1782 and body as the summary and the description, respectively.
1784 </li>
1785 <li>
1786 New function to go to the entry with the currently running
1787 clock. Bound to `C-c C-x C-j', in agenda also to "J". If
1788 you use this often, you might even want to assign a global
1789 key. Thanks to Bernt and Bastien.
1791 </li>
1792 <li>
1793 Clock entries can now have their own drawer, the :CLOCK:
1794 drawer. Check out the variable `org-clock-into-drawer' for
1795 configuration of this feature. The default is to create a
1796 drawer when the second clocking line gets added to an entry.
1797 Note that "CLOCK" has been added to the default value of
1798 `org-drawers', but if you have configured that variable, you
1799 must go back and add "CLOCK" yourself to get this drawer
1800 folded away. Thanks to Tom Weissman for pointing out that
1801 too many clock entries are visually annoying.
1803 </li>
1804 <li>
1805 `C-c C-x C-r' no longer tries to find the first clocktable
1806 in a buffer and then updates it. Instead, it will update
1807 the clocktable at point if there is one (same as C-c C-c
1808 will do if the cursor is in the "#+BEGIN" line of the
1809 table). If there is none at point, a new one will be
1810 inserted. This change was necessary because the new :scope
1811 parameter allows to have several clocktables in a buffer.
1812 Thanks to Bastien for pointing this out.
1813 To update all dynamic blocks in a file, use `C-u C-c C-x C-u'.
1815 </li>
1816 <li>
1817 The function `org-remember' can now be called with a
1818 template selection key as argument. This helps to make key
1819 bindings that go directly to a specific template without
1820 being prompted for a template, like this:
1822 <p>
1823 <pre>
1824 (global-set-key [f5] (lambda () (interactive) (org-remember "j")))
1825 </pre>
1826 </p>

1828 Thanks to Richard G Riley for bringing this up.
1829 </p>
1830 </li>
1831 <li>
1832 `C-n' and `C-p' are back to their default binding
1833 (next/previous line) in the agenda buffer. Enough people,
1834 including recently Denis Bueno, have complained about this,
1835 and I agree it is not good to break habits like that.
1837 </li>
1838 <li>
1839 `C-x C-s' in an agenda buffer now saves all org-mode buffers
1840 (also `s' does this).
1842 </li>
1843 <li>
1844 Setting schedule or deadline dates from the agenda now
1845 produces a note in the agenda, similarly to what happens
1846 with S-left/right.
1848 </li>
1849 <li>
1850 Using a prefix argument for `C-c C-d' or `C-c C-s' will
1851 remove the deadline or scheduling date from an item. Thanks
1852 to Wanrong Lin for this proposal.
1854 </li>
1855 <li>
1856 New variable `org-agenda-compact-blocks'. When set, the
1857 space between blocks in a block agenda is reduced as much as
1858 possible, to show more items on a single screen.
1860 </li>
1861 <li>
1862 The variable `org-agenda-tags-column' (renamed from
1863 `org-agenda-align-tags-to-column') can now also be negative,
1864 to mean alignment to the left. The new default is -80, just
1865 like it is now for `org-tags-column'.

1924 Both the category and the archive location in a (sub)tree of
1925 the buffer can now be specified using a property, for
1926 example:
1928 <p>
1929 <pre>
1930 * Tree with special properties
1931 :PROPERTIES:
1932 :CATEGORY: Examples
1933 :ARCHIVE: /some/special/file::
1934 :END:
1935 </pre>
1936 </p>
1937 <p>
1938 This is a much cleaner way of dealing with multiple
1939 categories and archives in a single file. The preferred use
1942 overruled by properties. This was a proposal from Bastien
1944 and I don't plan to remove this support soon, but I
1945 encourage you to stop using them.

1950 the range in the file from which clock entries should be

1957 <thead>
1959 </thead>
1960 <tbody>
1967 </tbody>
1968 </table>
1971 <p>
1972 Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer and Bernt Hansen for
1973 inspiration. Thanks to cranreuch (what is you full name?)
1974 for mentioning, at the right moment, that the clocktable is
1975 not so bad - that remark made it seem worthwhile to add
1976 features.
1977 </p>
1978 </li>
1979 <li>
1980 The commands to import a table and to convert a region to a
1981 table can now handle comma-separated values (CSV). The
1982 algorithm does not yet treat quoting correctly, but for
1983 basic input it works.
1985 </li>
1986 <li>
1987 When modifying an existing time stamp, or when entering the
1988 second stamp of a range, the date prompt will now
1989 consistently default to the date/time in the existing stamp.
1990 This was triggered by Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
1992 </li>
1993 <li>
1994 At the date/time prompt, there is a new way to specify a
1995 range of hours, by using "+DURATION" after the time. For
1996 example:
1998 <p>
1999 <pre>
2002 </pre>
2003 </p>
2004 <p>
2005 Again, Nuutti Kotivuori's request.

2009 When you use the function `turn-on-orgstruct++' to turn on
2010 orgstruct-mode, the special org-mode settings for
2011 auto-filling, indentation and paragraphs are exported into
2012 the buffer, so that typing list items with indentation works
2013 better. This was Bastien's idea and request.
2015 </li>
2016 <li>
2017 New variable `org-priority-start-cycle-with-default'. When
2018 t (the default), priority cycling will initially set the
2019 default priority and then increase or decrease. When nil,
2020 the first priority set by cycling is already 1 different
2021 from the default priority. This was mostly driven by
2022 Bastien.
2024 </li>
2025 <li>
2026 In column view: When an entry has a property for a summary
2027 column defined, its value is normally overwritten by the sum
2028 of all the children's values each time you enter column
2029 view. Now there is an exception to this rule: If none of
2030 the children has that particular property defined, the
2031 parent's value stays. In this way you can still place TODO
2032 items under such an entry without getting the property value
2033 changed. Thanks to Russel Adams for pointing out that this
2034 is a better way of doing things.
2036 </li>
2037 <li>
2038 In column view, computed values are now bold face, and
2039 trying to edit them is an error. I think this works, but
2040 testing is appreciated.
2042 </li>
2043 <li>
2044 New command `org-occur-in-agenda-files', this is basically
2045 the quick command John Wiegley proposed the other day, but
2046 it also works when the agenda files are not yet in buffers.
2047 The key is `C-c C-x /', any better proposals?

2116 incompatible change - nevertheless I believe it is the right

2128 You can now select specific states for recording a note when

2134 #+STARTUP: lognotestate
2135 </pre>

2141 </li>
2142 <li>
2143 You can now set the format of the string for each day in the
2144 agenda and timeline buffers. You can use a format string
2145 interpreted by `format-time-string', or you can write your
2146 own function. Configure the new variable
2147 `org-agenda-format-date'. Thanks to Levin for triggering
2148 this development with a patch.
2150 </li>
2151 <li>
2152 The default for `org-remember-store-without-prompt' is now
2153 t, in order to better match the original intent of
2154 remember.el (storing a note with minimum interruption of
2155 work flow). Since we can assign files and headlines to
2156 templates, I guess this takes care of selecting a filing
2157 location in most cases. For interactive filing, you now
2158 need a prefix command when exiting `remember'.
2160 </li>
2161 <li>
2162 `org-goto' (bound to `C-c C-j') now uses an indirect buffer
2163 and has additional commands enabled: Org-occur with `C-c /'
2164 or even faster with `/', and the commands needed to select
2165 and copy a region. This make `org-goto' a more general
2166 lookup command instead of only a jumping command. Remember
2167 that you can exit with `Q' to go back to the original
2168 location. Thanks to William Henney for this idea.
2170 </li>
2171 <li>
2172 Setting the priority with S-up/down now cycles back to a
2173 state where no priority is specified. This was requested by
2174 Rick Moynihan.
2176 </li>
2177 <li>
2179 So if you select a location interactively once, you can
2180 re-use it without having to find it again. For this, exit
2181 the remember buffer with `C-u C-u C-c C-c'. The leading
2182 comment in the remember buffer will tell exactly where the
2183 note goes if you exit with a particular command.
2184 Thanks to Maxim Loginov for this idea.
2186 </li>
2187 <li>
2188 On Emacs 23, the headline faces for org-mode are now
2189 inherited from the outline faces. This is just a
2190 convenience, so that you only have to configure one set of
2192 will actually not see any difference in org-mode, because
2193 Stefan Monnier has made the outline faces in Emacs 23 to
2194 match the current org-mode faces.

2223 <ul>
2224 <li>
2225 There is now a separate interface for fast and directly
2226 setting a TODO keyword. This interface kicks in when you
2227 have configured keys for TODO keywords like
2229 <p>
2230 <pre>
2231 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | DONE(d) CANCELED(c)
2232 </pre>
2233 </p>
2234 <p>
2235 C-c C-t still does the cycling thing, you need to use a
2236 prefix argument to get to the fast interface. Or configure
2237 the variable `org-use-fast-todo-selection' to t, then this
2238 will be the default and the prefix argument will make the
2239 command fall back to cycling.
2240 </p>
2241 <p>
2242 The tag selection no longer does include TODO keywords -
2243 Leo's arguments have convinced me that this is not a good
2244 idea. If you'd like to see the TODO keywords in the tags
2245 interface anyway, set the variable
2246 `org-fast-tag-selection-include-todo'. Thanks to Leo and
2247 others for input on this issue.
2248 </p>
2249 </li>
2250 <li>
2251 New variable `org-edit-timestamp-down-means-later'. When
2252 set, `S-down' on a timestamp will change the timestamp to
2253 later. Thanks to Raman for this idea.
2255 </li>
2256 <li>
2257 Property names can now contain non-ascii word characters.
2258 This follows a request from Daniel Clemente.
2260 </li>
2261 <li>
2262 For export, the date that should be given in the exported
2263 file can now be set to a specific value with a line like
2265 <p>
2266 <pre>
2268 </pre>
2269 </p>
2270 <p>
2271 If you want to use the date/time when the file was created,
2272 use a format string that will be interpreted by
2273 `format-time-string', for example:
2274 </p>
2275 <p>
2276 <pre>
2277 #+DATE: %Y/%m/%d %X
2278 </pre>
2279 </p>
2280 </li>
2281 <li>
2282 The default of `org-deadline-warning-days' has changed to 14
2283 days. 30 was really too much, I suspect most people (me
2284 included) have changed this.
2286 </li>
2287 <li>
2288 When a deadline has an individual lead time, this lead time
2289 obviously overrules `org-deadline-warning-days'. However,
2291 example during a custom agenda command, then the absolute
2292 value of this number will be enforced also when a different
2293 lead time has been specified. This is useful to get a list
2294 of all deadlines coming up in the next N days.

2362 You can now define different faces for different TODO
2363 keywords. This request has come up frequently, so here it
2364 is: Use the variable `org-todo-keyword-faces'.
2366 <p>
2367 A Here is a configuration example:
2368 </p>
2369 <p>
2370 <pre>
2371 (setq org-todo-keyword-faces
2372 '(("TODO" . org-warning)
2373 ("DEFERRED" . shadow)
2375 :underline t))))
2376 </pre>
2377 </p>
2378 <p>
2379 Org-mode continue still use `org-todo' and `org-done' for
2380 keywords that have no specific face assigned.
2381 </p>
2382 </li>
2383 <li>
2384 Some People use TODO states more like tags. For them the
2385 TODO keywords mark special states and they like to quickly
2386 switch between states in arbitrary sequence. The standard
2387 TODO interface is not perfect for this, because it assumes
2388 that the states are reached in sequence. However, the fast
2389 tag setting interface is in fact perfect for this. You can
2390 now "misuse" the TAG selection interface to also set TODO
2391 states. All you need to do is to assign keys to the TODO
2392 states, just like you also do for tags.
2394 <p>
2395 <pre>
2396 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | CANCELED(c) DONE(d)
2397 #+TAGS: @HOME(h) @OFFICE(o) @SHOP(s)
2398 </pre>
2399 </p>
2400 <p>
2401 Next time you try to set tags with C-c C-c, the todo states
2402 will be offered as well, and the corresponding key will
2403 switch the entry to that state.
2404 </p>
2405 </li>
2406 <li>
2407 New variable `org-archive-save-context-info' governs if
2408 information that would be lost by moving a subtree to the
2409 archive file, should be stored as special properties. For
2410 example,
2412 <p>

2418 will store the inherited tags and the category in properties
2419 ARCHIVE_ITAGS and ARCHIVE_CATEGORY, respectively. The
2420 default setting for this variable is to save everything that
2421 could be lost. This was a proposal by John Wiegley.

2430 `Org-ellipsis' can now also be a face to make the folding
2431 ellipsis more visible. This is based on a post by Tassilo
2432 Horn. Since `org-ellipsis' only works in Org-mode, you
2433 might want to use Tassilo Horn's hack directly in order to
2434 affect the folding ellipsis globally.

2438 Scheduling info is no longer removed when an entry is marked

2441 an option.
2443 </li>
2444 <li>
2445 New option `org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files'. Currently,
2446 if a file does not exist, it will be removed from

2448 the file will simply be skipped.

2475 When exporting only a region and this region is a single
2476 (sub)tree (for example selected with `C-c @'), the title for
2477 the exported document is taken to be the heading of the
2478 subtree. The sublevels become top-level entries in the
2479 export. Furthermore, if the head entry of the tree has or
2480 inherits an EXPORT_FILE_NAME property, that file name (with
2481 appropriately substituted extension) will be used for the
2482 exported tree. Thanks to Patrick Drechsler and Jost Burkart
2483 for these ideas.

2486 <li>
2487 org-special-ctrl-a/e has a third allowed value, `reversed'.
2488 When it is set to this value, the first C-a or C-e command
2489 behaves normally, i.e. it goes to the true beginning or end
2490 of the line. Only when you press C-a or C-e immediately
2491 again, the the "special" position will be found. Additional
2492 presses of the same key jump between the two positions. I
2493 like this a lot better than the `t' setting, because now the
2494 keys behave more predictable and still give easy access to
2495 the special locations.

2578 Bastien's `org-export-latex.el' is now part of the org-mode
2579 distribution. You can export an Org-mode document to a
2580 LaTeX file with `C-c C-e l'. For more options, see the
2581 manual, and the commentary in the Lisp file. Kudos to
2582 Bastien for contributing this frequently requested feature.
2583 I am sure this has been tough because of the many different
2584 ways I have been allowing LaTeX snippets and environments to
2585 be incorporated in lazy free-format ways.
2587 </li>
2588 <li>
2589 Org-mode has now an extension mechanism for the hyperlink
2590 system. This should clear the road for all those mairix and
2591 other ideas that have been floating around. Now it is on
2593 interface for adding a new link type is described in the
2594 appendix of the manual, section A2. The unsolved problem is
2595 currently how to handle the new link types for
2596 export/publishing.
2598 </li>
2599 <li>
2601 `org-insert-link-global'. You can bind these commands to
2602 global keys and use them to insert and follow Org-mode-like
2603 links anywhere in Emacs. Thanks to Adam Spiers for this
2604 excellent idea.
2606 </li>
2607 <li>
2608 Each deadline timestamp may now specify its own interval of
2609 lead-time display, given in days, weeks, months or years.
2610 The syntax is like this
2612 <p>
2613 <pre>
2615 </pre>
2616 </p>
2617 <p>
2618 When combined with a repeater, the repeater has to come
2619 first:
2620 </p>
2621 <p>
2622 <pre>
2624 </pre>
2625 </p>
2626 <p>
2627 You may now also customize the faces that are used in the
2628 agenda to indicate the distance of an approaching deadline.
2629 See the new option `org-agenda-deadline-faces'.
2630 </p>
2631 <p>
2632 Thanks to Pavel Chalmoviansky and John Wiegley proposals in
2633 this direction.
2634 </p>
2635 </li>
2636 <li>
2637 New option `org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all'. When
2638 set to nil, repeating time stamps will only show up once in
2639 the agenda, either today or in the near future. Other
2640 matches will be ignored. Thanks to John Wiegley for this
2641 proposal.
2643 </li>
2644 <li>
2645 New variable `org-remember-store-without-prompt'. When set,
2646 exiting the remember buffer with C-c C-c will store the note
2647 without further prompts to the default location, and `C-u
2648 C-c C-c' will get the prompts for file and location. So
2649 this variable reverses the prefix-argument functionality for
2650 storing remember notes. This follows a request from John
2651 Wiegley.
2653 </li>
2654 <li>
2655 A new function `org-agenda-to-appt' activates all
2656 appointments for the current day so that Emacs will display
2657 reminders. This uses appt.el. Thanks to Bastien for this
2658 function.
2660 </li>
2661 <li>
2662 You can now set default values for properties that can be
2663 inherited by all entries in a buffer, or by all entries
2664 globally. Global properties are set in the variable
2665 `org-global-properties', like this:
2667 <p>
2669 </p>
2670 <p>
2671 Buffer-local values are set like this:
2672 </p>
2673 <p>
2674 #+PROPERTY: NAME This is the value
2675 </p>
2676 <p>
2677 When using org-entry-get to get the value of a property with
2678 the `inherit' flag and the hierarchy above the entry does
2679 not contain this property, the buffer-local and global lists
2680 are checked as well. This is mostly useful (I think) to set
2681 the list of allowed values for a property. Thanks to Bernt
2682 Hansen and Bastien for these ideas.

2744 The variable `org-special-ctrl-a' has been renamed to
2745 `org-special-ctrl-a/e'. The old one is still an alias (but
2746 not on Emacs 21 where variable aliases cannot be defined).
2748 </li>
2749 </ul></div>
2755 <ul>
2756 <li>
2757 When the variable `org-special-ctrl-a/e' is set, C-e in a
2758 headline first goes to the end of the headline ignoring the
2759 tags. A second C-e then goes to after the tags.
2761 </li>
2762 <li>
2763 Typing and removing single characters in a headline now
2764 keeps the tags in the headline aligned. This could have a
2765 little impact on performance while deleting stuff - let me
2766 know if we need to make this customizable.

2769 <li>
2770 New option `org-n-level-faces' can be used to set the number

2823 Bad news. It looks like it is going to be really hard to
2825 is currently the only Emacs where this works. If you are

2838 Improvements for properties:
2840 <ul>
2841 <li>
2842 There are interactive commands to insert and delete
2843 properties. Read the manual chapter 7 for details.
2845 </li>
2846 <li>
2848 these are defined, you can change the value of a property
2849 with S-left and S-right. And you may use completion when
2850 inserting the property. This goes a long way to prevent
2851 typos when entering properties.
2853 </li>
2854 </ul></li>
2855 <li>
2856 Improvements for column view.
2858 <ul>
2859 <li>
2860 In column view, you may use the keys S-left/right (and
2861 also the keys `n' and `p') to switch from one allowed
2862 value to the next.
2864 </li>
2865 <li>
2866 You can define summaries for columns. For example,
2867 parents can contain the sum of all children values of a
2868 property, or the parent node can have a check box property
2869 that is automatically checked when all children's boxes are
2870 checked.
2872 </li>
2873 <li>
2874 There are interactive commands to add and remove columns,
2875 and to change the attributes of a column like the summary
2876 type.
2878 </li>
2879 </ul>
2880 <p>These additions lead to the exciting fact that the example
2881 from <a href="http://www.omnigroup.com/images/applications/omnioutliner/features/multicolumn.jpg">omni outliner</a> posted by Scott Jaderholm can now be
2883 </p>
2884 </li>
2885 <li>
2886 The space after the stars is now required in a headline, in
2887 order to remove the conflict with bold words at the
2888 beginning of a line. So
2890 <p>
2891 <pre>
2892 * This is a level 1 headline
2893 *this is bold text*

2959 that this is the better convention.

2962 </ul></div>
2973 <p>
2974 There is a new minor mode, orgstruct-mode. This modes works
2975 in a similar way as Orgtbl-mode. It can be used to export
2976 the Org-mode structure-editing commands into arbitrary major
2977 modes in Emacs. For example, you can use it in Mail-mode to
2978 easily create lists.
2979 </p>
2980 <p>
2981 The functionality in Orgstruct mode is only active, if the
2982 cursor is in a line that looks either like a headline, or
2983 like the first line of a plain list item. Then the commands
2984 `TAB', `M-cursor', `M-S-cursor', `M-RET', `M-S-RET', `C-c ^',
2985 `C-c C-c', and `C-c -' will do structure-related editing just
2986 like in Org-mode. If the cursor is not in such a line, all
2987 these keys will do whatever the major mode or other active
2988 minor modes have assigned to them.
2989 </p>
2990 <p>
2991 Orgstruct-mode is the result of a proposal by Raman, quite
2992 some time ago. It has taken a long time, but here is finally
2993 the promised implementation.
2994 </p>
2995 </div>
3001 <p>
3003 that remain folded during visibility cycling. Drawers need
3004 to be configured using the variable `org-drawers'. A drawer
3005 starts with a line containing only the name of the drawer
3006 bracketed by colons. It ends with :END:. For example,
3007 after setting
3008 </p>
3009 <p>
3010 <pre>
3012 </pre>
3013 </p>
3014 <p>
3015 you can then create drawers like this:
3016 </p>
3017 <p>
3018 <pre>
3019 :HIDDEN:
3020 here is some stuff that remains hidden
3021 unless TAB is pressed directly in that line
3022 :END:
3023 </pre>
3024 </p>
3025 <p>
3026 The PROPERTIES drawer has special meaning for ORG-mode, it
3027 contains properties of an entry (see below).
3028 </p>
3029 </div>
3035 <ul>
3036 <li>
3038 associated with them. Org-mode handles some default
3039 properties like the TODO state, the priority, the local
3040 tags, and planning information like DEADLINE and SCHEDULED.
3041 In addition, you can assign arbitrary properties by creating
3042 a property drawer and inserting a line like
3044 <p>
3045 <pre>
3046 :PROPNAME: This is the value of the property
3047 </pre>
3048 </p>
3049 <p>
3050 Org-mode has an API for properties, if you want to write a
3051 program using properties, use the functions
3052 `org-entry-properties', `org-entry-get', `org-entry-put',
3053 and `org-entry-delete'.
3054 </p>
3055 </li>
3056 <li>
3057 Planning information like DEADLINE can be hidden in the
3058 properties drawer.
3060 <p>
3061 If the PROPERTIES drawer starts in the first line after a
3062 headline, also the DEADLINE, SCHEDULED and CLOCK information
3063 will be inserted inside the drawer. If no PROPERTIES drawer
3064 is present, or if it does not start in the line right after
3065 the headline, this information remains in the lines directly
3066 after the headline, outside the drawer.
3067 </p>
3068 </li>
3069 <li>
3070 TAGS searches can now also query properties. For example,
3071 the search
3073 <p>
3074 <pre>
3076 </pre>
3077 </p>
3078 <p>
3079 will find entries that
3080 </p><ul>
3081 <li>
3082 are level 3
3083 </li>
3084 <li>
3085 have the tag BOSS
3086 </li>
3087 <li>
3088 have an ASSIGNED property with the value "Hans"
3089 </li>
3090 <li>
3091 are TODO status WAITING.
3093 <p>
3094 So here is an entry that will match:
3095 </p>
3096 <p>
3097 <pre>
3098 *** WAITING Clean up the factory :BOSS:
3099 :PROPERTIES:
3100 :ASSIGNED: Hans
3101 :END:
3102 </pre>
3103 </p>
3104 <p>
3105 You may also use a regular expression to match against a
3106 property value. For example, to find stuff assigned to Hans
3107 or Sarah, use
3108 </p>
3109 <p>
3110 <pre>
3111 ASSIGNED={^\(Hans\|Sarah\)$}
3112 </pre>
3113 </p>
3114 </li>
3115 </ul></li>
3116 <li>
3117 Column View is a special way to look at property values in
3118 tabular form. Column View can be used in any org-mode
3119 file, and also in any agenda buffer. It works by placing
3120 an overlay over each headline (or agenda line) that shows a
3121 table of selected properties. You can look at and edit
3122 properties from this view. Which properties are shown in
3123 the table must be set up using the COLUMNS property. You
3124 can set up different property columns on different levels
3125 of an outline tree. For example:
3127 <p>
3128 <pre>
3129 * People
3130 :PROPERTIES:
3131 :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name
3132 :END:
3133 ** Family
3134 :PROPERTIES:
3136 :END:
3137 *** Sam
3138 Info about Sam, including a property list with Name and Age.
3139 *** Sarah
3140 Info about Sarah, including a property list with Name and Age.
3141 ** Office
3142 :PROPERTIES:
3143 :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %Function %Salary
3144 :END:
3145 *** Boss
3146 Info about the Boss, including a property list with Name,
3147 Function and Salary (if only we knew....).
3148 </pre>
3149 </p>
3150 <p>
3151 Now we have defined three different sets of columns. If
3153 will get a different table than if you do it in the
3156 table will cover all entries, but contain only the
3158 </p>
3159 <p>
3160 Column view does, for the time being, only work on Emacs.
3161 The XEmacs implementation needs a bit of work.
3162 </p>
3163 </li>
3164 <li>
3165 Properties can be used in table formulas. To access the
3166 value of the property :XYZ:, use $PROP_XYZ. The property
3167 needs to be defined in the hierarchy above the table, not
3168 necessarily in the same entry as the table. This was a
3169 request by Eddward. File-wide constants can be defined with
3170 #+CONSTANTS, see below.

3212 In the spreadsheet, the evaluation of formulas has changed.
3213 Previously, first the column formulas would be evaluated
3214 everywhere, and then the field formulas would kick in, and
3215 in some cases overwrite the results of column formulas in
3216 the appropriate fields. This had the side effect that some
3217 formulas might always use the wrong, intermediate content of
3218 a field that is computed both by a column and a field
3219 formula.
3221 <p>
3222 From now on, column formulas will no longer temporarily
3223 overwrite field formulas. This gives much more consistent
3224 results. For example you can now finally have a column of
3225 increasing numbers by setting the first field to a fixed
3226 number, and let the rest follow from a column formula.
3227 </p>
3228 <p>
3229 Here is an example
3230 </p>
3231 <p>
3232 <pre>
3233 | 1 |

3241 Constants for formulas in spreadsheets are globally defined
3242 with the variable `org-table-formula-constants'. File-local
3243 constants can now be set with a line like:

3246 <pre>

3259 When entries are archived, a timestamp for the moment of
3260 archiving is added to the line with planning information.

3386 There is now a special version of `org.el' for XEmacs.
3387 Before installation, as an XEmacs user you must rename the
3388 file org_xemacs.el to org.el, i.e. you must overwrite org.el
3389 with the xemacs version. For example:
3391 <p>
3392 <pre>
3393 mv org_xemacs.el org.el
3394 </pre>
3395 </p>
3396 <p>
3397 This is necessary so that I can make use of some features
3398 that would be cumbersome to support in a single file. The
3399 XEmacs version is derived from the Emacs version with a
3400 program, so no reason to fear that I might be dropping
3401 XEmacs support any time soon. Sorry for the trouble.
3402 </p>
3403 </li>
3404 </ul></div>
3410 <ul>
3411 <li>
3412 A time stamp may now contain a range of times. So you no
3413 longer need to use two separate stamps to indicate a time
3414 interval on a single day. For example
3416 <p>
3417 <pre>
3419 </pre>
3420 </p>
3421 <p>
3422 This is now fully supported, including changing the time
3423 with S-up/down while the cursor is on the end time. Also,
3424 da the date/time prompt, you can simply write your time like
3426 </p>
3427 <p>
3428 This was proposed by Leo some time ago, and recently by
3429 Michael.

3446 TAGS may now contain language-specific word characters, as
3447 long as they are matched by the "[:alnum:]" regexp syntax.
3448 This is for Emacs only, the XEmacs version continues to use
3449 the character class "a-zA-Z0-9_@" for tag names. Thanks to
3450 David Smith for a patch to this effect (a modified version
3451 of that patch was applied). I am considering to make the
3452 same change for TODO keywords, but not yet. Note that files
3453 using localization features may not work correctly in the
3454 Emacs configuration of another user, so if you are sharing
3455 org-mode files with other users, it might still be best to
3456 stick to the ASCII characters.
3458 </li>
3459 <li>
3460 Promotion and demotion of plain list items (commands M-left,
3461 M-right) no longer changes the indentation by just one
3462 space. Instead, it uses intelligence gathered from the
3463 surrounding list structure to do the right thing. Thanks to
3464 William Henney for starting the discussion about this.
3466 </li>
3467 <li>
3468 TAB does now a better job of indenting lines.
3470 <ul>
3471 <li>
3472 After tables and code segments (lines starting with ":"),
3473 indentation goes back to what it was before (thanks to
3474 William Henney for suggesting this behavior).
3476 </li>
3477 <li>
3478 When plain lists items are involved, we had a long
3479 discussion on emacs-orgmode where I tried to show that a
3480 too-sophisticated implementation will still be easily
3481 fooled. Here is what I have implemented now - lets see
3482 if we can agree on this:
3484 <p>
3485 Indentation will flatten lists with the same bullet type,
3486 but indent another bullet type further. The time when
3487 this fails is in a nested list, when you want to get back
3488 out to a previous level. For example
3489 </p>
3490 <p>
3491 <pre>
3492 - item 1
3493 - item 2
3494 + item 2a
3495 + item 2b
3496 - item 3
3497 </pre>
3498 </p>
3499 <p>
3500 When using TAB on every line in this list, the structure
3501 will change to
3502 </p>
3503 <p>
3504 <pre>
3505 - item 1
3506 - item 2
3507 + item 2a
3508 + item 2b
3509 - item 3
3510 </pre>
3511 </p>
3512 <p>
3513 So you need to change the level of the last line by hand,
3514 using promotion and demotion functions.

3549 </ul></div>
3555 <ul>
3556 <li>
3557 You can now specify column groups in tables, to the effect
3558 that the groups will be separated by vertical lines in HTML
3559 and ASCII output. Column groups are specified by the
3561 group, ">" ends a group (in each case including the the
3562 column where the character is specified). You may also use
3563 "<>" to make a group a single column wide. For example:
3565 <p>
3566 <pre>
3568 |---+----+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
3574 </pre>
3575 </p>
3576 <p>
3577 A table row with with nothing but "/" in the first field is
3578 never exported, but can be used to place column group
3579 information into the table. In this table, we create a
3582 groups.
3583 </p>
3584 <p>
3587 wherever you want a vertical line:
3588 </p>
3589 <p>
3590 <pre>
3592 |---+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
3594 </pre>
3595 </p>
3596 </li>
3597 <li>
3598 Vertical lines are now also omitted in ASCII export, unless
3599 grouping explicitly requests these lines.
3601 </li>
3602 <li>
3603 The default for `org-show-following-heading' is now nil,
3604 meaning that sparse trees will be more compact. This has
3605 become possible due to in important remark by Jason Dunsmore
3606 who pointed out that TAB should behave differently in the
3607 inconsistent trees produced by the sparse tree commands.
3608 TAB does now make sure that the heading after a freshly
3609 unfolded tree is made visible at all, removing the confusing
3610 behavior we had before.

3617 <li>
3618 Strings produced by agenda batch processing with
3619 `org-batch-agenda' and `org-batch-agenda-csv' are now
3620 properly encoded, so that you should be able to use
3621 special characters in other languages as along as your
3622 post-processing program handles them correctly. At least
3623 for Emacs this should work now, but have not yet figured
3624 out how to do this in XEmacs.

3735 </p>

3737 will apply to every Wednesday, starting from the date given.

3744 You can use an sexp diary entry (with the syntax used by the
3745 Emacs calendar/diary) in a time stamp, like this:
3747 <p>
3748 *** The nerd club meets on 2nd Thursday of every month
3749 </p></li>
3750 </ul>
3752 </p>
3753 <ul>
3754 <li>
3755 You can put diary-style sexp entries directly into an
3756 org-mode file, where they will be interpreted just like they
3757 would in the diary. For example
3759 <ul>
3760 <li>
3761 Birthdays and similar stuff
3762 </li>
3763 </ul>
3764 <p>#+CATEGORY: Holiday
3765 %%(org-calendar-holiday) ; special function for holiday names
3766 #+CATEGORY: Ann
3767 %%(diary-anniversary 14 5 1956) Artur Dent %d is years old
3768 %%(diary-anniversary 2 10 1869) Mahatma Gandhi
3769 </p>
3770 <p>
3771 These entries must start at column 0 to be evaluated.
3772 </p>
3773 <p>
3774 It turns out that evaluating the entries in an org-mode file
3775 is actually faster than in the diary itself, because using
3776 the diary has some overhead (creating fancy diary display,
3777 then reading and re-interpreting the entries). I have moved
3778 all the sexp entries from my diary into an org-mode file,
3779 put in a few categories, and then turned off
3780 `org-agenda-include-diary'. This has led to a noticeably
3781 faster agenda display.
3782 </p>
3783 </li>
3784 <li>
3785 New command `org-replace-region-by-html' that converts the
3786 current region from org-mode syntax into HTML. For example,
3787 you might write an itemized list in plain text in an HTML
3788 buffer, and then invoke this command to convert it. Thanks
3789 to Raman for this idea.
3791 </li>
3792 <li>
3793 When inserting a link with `C-c C-l', completion will now
3794 fill in all valid link prefixes, like http or ftp, but also
3795 link abbreviation prefixes. This is based on an idea by
3796 Bastien.

3816 <li>
3817 There is a new command to add or change the emphasis (like
3818 bold or italic) of a piece of text. For lack of better
3819 available keys the command is at `C-c C-x C-f', but you may
3820 well want to choose a more convenient key like `C-c f' in
3821 your private setup:
3823 <p>
3824 (add-hook 'org-load-hook
3825 (lambda () (define-key org-mode-map "\C-cf" 'org-emphasize)))
3826 </p>
3827 <p>
3828 The command will prompt for an emphasis type, and you may
3829 reply either with the marker that triggers the emphasis, or
3830 with the first letter of the corresponding HTML tag. For
3832 </p>
3833 <p>
3834 If there is an active region, the emphasis of this region
3835 will be set or changed. If there is no region, only the
3836 emphasis markers will be inserted and the cursor positioned
3837 between them. Thanks to Bastien for proposing this feature.

3859 This release is about exporting agenda views, to HTML, to
3860 postscript for printing, and to a special format (CSV) for
3861 further processing in scripts.
3862 </p>
3863 </div>
3869 <ul>

3871 The variable `org-agenda-remove-tags-when-in-prefix' has

3875 </ul></div>
3881 <ul>
3882 <li>
3883 Agenda views can be exported as plain text, as HTML, and as
3884 Postscript(R). This can simply be done from the agenda
3885 buffer with `C-x C-w' and then specifying a filename like
3886 `myagenda.html' or `myagenda.ps'. See section 8.6.4 of the
3887 manual.
3889 </li>
3890 <li>
3891 Each custom agenda view can specify a list of associated
3892 files names. The command `C-c a e' then creates all views
3893 that have associated file names and exports the views to
3894 these files. This is great for producing paper versions of
3895 your views, to take with you when you don't have your
3896 computer. The manual has an example on how to do this, and
3897 in particular on how to customize the format of the printed
3898 version. See section 8.6.4 of the manual.
3900 </li>
3901 <li>
3902 You can produce a CSV format of agenda information with an
3903 Emacs batch command. This is greate for further processing
3904 in scipts. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for this idea.
3905 See section 8.6.5 of the manual.

3908 <li>
3909 New variable `org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done'. When set,

4006 Better control over blank lines between trees in collapsed
4007 view. This has come up several times in the past and most
4008 recently by Scott Jaderholm. There is now a new variable
4009 `org-cycle-separator-lines' with default value 2. It says
4010 how many empty lines there need to be after the end of a
4011 subtree to get an empty line in collapsed view. So with the
4012 default, if you leave only one empty line it will disappear
4013 in collapsed view. If you leave two, one empty line will
4014 remain so that you can use double empty lines to structure
4015 the collapsed views of a file. I love it, so many thanks to
4016 Scott fro bringing this up again.
4018 <p>
4019 One property of the new setup is that you will never get
4020 more than one blank line in collapsed view. We could do
4022 collapsed view, but I think this is counter-productive.
4023 </p>
4024 <p>
4025 In Emacs 22, if you want to make full use of this, make sure
4026 that you have not set `outline-blank-line'.

4030 When the clock is running, Org-mode will put info about it
4031 into the modeline. The info consists of the elapsed time
4032 and the heading of the clocked item. This was a proposal
4033 from Bastien who got the idea from Muse.

4037 C-a can behave specially in headlines when you set the
4038 variable `org-special-ctrl-a'. It will bring the cursor
4040 i.e. after the stars and the TODO keyword, if any. A second
4041 C-a will then move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
4042 If the cursor is already at the beginning of the line, C-a

4051 When LaTeX fragments are processed into images, there is now
4052 more control and (hopefully) betters defaults for colors and
4053 scaling. Special values can be set for HTML export, so that
4054 these values can differ from what is used for display in an
4055 emacs buffer. The default foreground and background colors
4056 for images embedded in emacs are now taken from the default
4057 emacs face. Thanks to Xiao-Yong Jin for proposing these
4058 changes.
4060 </li>
4061 <li>
4062 There is now a much better mechanism to change some keys in
4063 org-mode if these keys clash with other modes you use. Turn
4064 this on by setting `org-replace-disputed-keys' (aliased to
4065 `org-CUA-compatible'). The list of keys to replace is now
4066 fully customizable, see the option `org-disputed-keys'.
4067 Many thanks to Meciej Katafiasz for a patch implementing
4068 this.

4071 <li>
4072 Stuck project descriptions have been extended. You can now
4074 keyword or TAG marks a project as non-stuck. You also can
4075 give an arbitrary regular expression that, if it matches,
4076 indicates a non-stuck project.

4130 The prefix version of `org-todo-list' works again. This
4131 means that `C-1 C-c a t' produces the list of TODO entries
4132 for the first TODO keyword. If you use different TODO setups
4133 in different agenda files, be careful: This number now

4184 Further development concerning TODO keywords.
4186 <ul>
4187 <li>
4188 You can now have several DONE states in a sequence, like
4190 <p>
4191 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE DELEGATED
4192 </p>
4193 <p>
4194 The difference to the proposal discussed on the mailing
4195 list (and which is also works!)
4196 </p>
4197 <p>
4198 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE
4199 #+SEQ_TODO: | CANCELED
4200 </p>
4201 <p>
4202 is that in the first case, the extra DONE states will be
4203 reached with `C-c C-t' (or with `t' from the agenda), while
4205 states. I guess both ideas can be useful - I am leaning
4206 toward using the latter.
4207 </p>
4208 </li>
4209 <li>
4210 Setting up TODO keywords in Lisp previously used two
4211 separate variables: `org-todo-keywords' and
4212 `org-todo-interpretation'. The preferred way is now to use
4213 only `org-todo-keywords', with a new structure:
4215 <p>
4216 (setq org-todo-keywords
4220 (sequence "CANCELED") ; for things we decide to not do.
4221 ))
4222 </p>
4223 <p>
4224 If your setting has this new structure,
4225 `org-todo-interpretation' will be ignored. This change
4226 does not break backward compatibility. The old way of
4227 using a flat list in `org-todo-keywords' and taking the
4228 interpretation from the other variable still works.
4229 </p>
4230 </li>
4231 <li>
4233 (`C-u C-c C-v') or via the agenda (`C-c a T' or `C-u C-c a
4234 t'), you can now specify several keywords to be selected,
4235 like "TODO|VERIFY|WAITING". This also works for custom
4236 agenda commands. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for pointing
4237 out this omission.
4239 </li>
4240 </ul></li>
4241 <li>
4242 If you have configured Org-mode to export also the text
4243 before the first headline (this is done by setting the
4244 variable `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil),
4245 then the first normal text line in the buffer becomes the
4246 title of the exported document. A title set with #+TITLE
4247 overules this default, and the first line then belongs to the
4248 normal text. Thanks to David House for this proposal.
4250 </li>
4251 <li>
4252 TTY replacement keys. Some of the key bindings used by
4253 Org-mode do not work on a tty, so replacement key sequences
4254 are provided on ttys. In version 4.70, there are some
4255 changes in the tty replacements. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer

4312 Bug fixes.

4321 <ul>
4322 <li>
4323 It used to be possible to spread the list of TODO keywords
4324 over several lines, like
4326 <p>
4327 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO
4328 #+SEQ_TODO: PROGRESS
4329 #+SEQ_TODO: DONE
4330 </p>
4331 <p>
4332 This is no longer possible. Each such line now specifies an
4333 independent set of TODO keywords, with its own DONE state.
4334 See below for details.
4335 </p>
4336 </li>
4337 <li>
4338 The #+TEXT construct has been used to insert unchanged HTML
4339 into an exported file. This is no longer possible, the TEXT
4340 lines will be processed like any other lines. However,
4341 there are now much better ways of getting quoted HTML into
4342 the exported file.
4344 </li>
4345 </ul></div>
4351 <ul>
4352 <li>
4353 You can now use multiple sets of TODO keywords in the same
4354 buffer. For example, you may put the following three lines
4355 into a file:
4357 <p>
4358 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE
4359 #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED
4360 #+TYP_TODO: Fred Laura Peter Me OK
4361 </p>
4362 <p>
4363 Each sub-sequence has its own DONE state. It is best to use
4364 different keywords in all sequences, to make sure Org-mode
4365 does not loose track in which specific sequence it is
4366 working. You could use the same word for all DONE states,
4367 but then cycling through to a TODO state might not bring you
4368 where you want to be.
4369 </p>
4370 <p>
4371 After initially setting a keyword, `C-c C-t' cycles through
4372 a sublist, i.e. is cycles from TODO to DONE or from
4373 KNOWNCAUSE to RESOLVED and further to (nothing) and back to
4374 REPORT.
4375 </p>
4376 <p>
4377 S-right and S-left allow to select any keyword, so they move
4378 from DONE to REPORT and from RESOLVED to Fred.
4379 </p>
4380 <p>
4381 C-S-right and C-S-left jump from one sub-sequence to the
4382 next, for example from TODO or DONE to REPORT to Fred.

4385 Thanks to Rick Moynihan for triggering this development.
4386 </p>
4387 </li>
4388 <li>
4389 Text before the first headline can now be exported if you
4390 configure Org-mode accordingly. Either set the variable
4391 `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil, or use the
4392 new in-buffer option
4394 <p>
4395 #+OPTION: skip:nil
4396 </p>
4397 </li>
4398 <li>
4399 Export content specified via the #+TEXT construct is now
4400 fully processed, i.e. links, emphasis etc. are all
4401 interpreted. #+TEXT lines may include
4402 #+BEGIN_HTML…#+END_HTML sections to embed literal HTML.
4404 </li>
4405 <li>
4407 interpreted as a subscript, but to leave a_b as it is. This
4408 can be done by setting the variable
4409 org-export-sub-superscript to the symbol `{}' with
4411 <p>
4412 (setq org-export-sub-superscript '{})
4413 </p>
4414 <p>
4415 or by using
4416 </p>
4417 <p>
4418 #+OPTIONS: ^:{}

4424 <li>
4425 New variable `org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
4426 Default is nil, meaning that empty lines are part of the
4427 previous list item, and that you can have several paragraphs
4428 in one such item. Set this to t if you want an empty line
4429 terminate all levels of plain list items.

4436 C-c RET does insert a horizontal separator line and move the
4437 cursor into the table line below it. Thanks to Bastien for
4438 this proposal.

4441 <li>
4442 Org-mode always offers you to record a note when a TODO item
4443 automatically repeats, even if you are not logging state
4444 changes. The new variable `org-log-repeat' allows to turn
4445 this off, so that notes are really only been taken if you
4446 are logging all state changes.

4659 levels. For example:

4663 </p>
4664 </li>
4665 <li>
4666 The command `C-c }' toggles the display of row and column numbers
4667 the the current table, to aid constructing formulas. To try it,
4668 move the cursor to a table and press `C-c }', or use the menu
4669 entry.

4673 Orgtbl translation functions (introduced in 4.65) have been

4724 any table in any mode.
4726 <p>
4728 would be a box of Pandora I am not willing to open. Instead, you
4729 use a normal Orgtbl-mode table, and a converter program to
4730 automatically place a LaTeX version of the table into the correct
4731 spot in the LaTeX file. The orgtbl-mode table can be maintained
4732 inside the same file, in a block comment.

4735 I am providing translators for LaTeX, HTML, and TeXInfo. For
4736 other applications, you need to write one yourself - but that is
4737 not hard if you start from the LaTeX version and just modify it.
4738 Thanks to Thomas Baumann for triggering this development through
4739 a request for a table-to-LaTeX converter.

4742 <li>
4743 In the special buffer to edit the formulas of a table (created
4744 with "C-c '"), there is now better support for editing Lisp
4745 formulas. TAB and M-TAB work like in an Emacs Lisp buffer,
4746 indenting lines and completing lisp symbols. With the cursor on
4747 a line defining a complex Lisp formula, a first press on TAB will
4748 convert the formula into a pretty-printed version with proper
4749 linebreaks and indentation. A second TAB folds the line back to
4750 the compact form.
4752 </li>
4753 <li>
4754 Tables in HTML export have now additional structure elements
4755 defined. The header (before the first hline) is wrapped into
4759 `org-export-html-table-tag' to get cleaner tables. Basically,
4760 tables now have horizontal lines only where needed, and no
4761 vertical lines at all, as generally recommended for tables in
4762 printed text. I like the new look, but I am not sure if this
4763 change will find general approval, please throw in your view if
4764 you like. Thanks to Scott for driving this, and to goud-H for
4765 pointing me to the row grouping in tables.
4767 </li>
4768 <li>
4769 In a table with calculation markers in the first column, you can
4770 now also put "/" into the first column. It indicates that this
4771 line should not be exported. The foremost application for this
4772 are lines containing only "<N>" markers for narrowing columns.

4812 The descriptive part of links to email messages can be configured
4813 using the variable `org-email-link-description-format'. The new
4814 default is "Email %c: %.30s" and leads to
4816 <p>
4817 Email from NAME: SUBJECT
4818 </p>
4819 <p>
4820 If you configure the variable `org-from-is-user-regexp'
4822 </p>
4823 <p>
4824 Email to NAME: SUBJECT
4825 </p>
4826 <p>
4827 The subject is limited to 30 characters. If you have become
4828 attached to the previous default (look twice, the new one is
4829 better), use "%f on: %s" as your format.

4833 Selecting text before entering a new link with C-c C-l now really
4834 works, the selected text becomes the description part of the
4835 link. Requested by Scott, buggy 4.62 implementation is now fixed.
4837 </li>
4838 <li>
4839 Stored links are part of the history list for C-c C-l, so to
4840 reach them, you can use up/down rather than completion. Thanks
4841 to Raman for this excellent idea.

4849 <li>

4854 You can use `org-remember' as your default command to start
4855 remember. It will automatically detect if there is an active
4856 region and use it as initial content (we will probably make
4857 remember.el work like this as well).
4858 Also, when calling `org-remember' in a remember buffer that
4859 was created with a template, you will again be asked to
4860 select a template. The buffer is then re-created with the
4861 new template, but the old context information. This is
4862 useful if you change your mind about the template to use
4863 (Leo's idea).
4865 </li>
4866 <li>
4869 become a subitem. In many cases this avoids or speeds up
4870 navigating to the right location. Both file and heading can
4871 be different for each template. Both are non-binding, you
4872 can change them while storing the note. However, when you
4873 exit remember with C-u C-c C-c, these defaults will be used
4874 without interaction.
4876 </li>
4877 <li>
4878 Templates can specify interactive fields. During expansion
4879 of the template, you will be prompted for the information in
4880 that field. For example %^t will pop up a calendar and ask
4881 you to select a date. This new feature follows a proposal
4882 from Leo, who in the mean time has said he does not need it
4883 anymore. But I liked it, so here it is :-)
4885 </li>
4886 <li>
4887 Templates can access information specific to the link type
4888 created, for example the author and subject of an email.
4889 Syntax is %:fromname, %:fromaddress, %:subject etc, details
4890 in the manual. Proposed by Peder O. Klingenberg.
4892 </li>
4893 <li>
4894 I have been considering to move, at some stage, the template
4895 functionality into remember.el itself - which would of course
4896 require consent of the remember.el maintainers. I am not
4897 sure how well this would work though, since some things like
4898 the interactive time stamps are org.el specific, so treating
4899 them would require special hooks. Comments?
