59 This is a special search that lets you select entries by keywords or
60 regular expression, using a boolean logic. For example, the search
61 string
62 </p>
63 <p>
64 <pre>
66 </pre>
67 </p>
68 <p>
69 will search for note entries that contain the keywords @code{computer}
70 and @code{wifi}, but not the keyword @code{ethernet}, and which are also
73 search string is an asteriks, the search will lonly look at
74 headlines - otherwise it will look at the headine and the
75 text below it, up to the next (possibly sub-) heading.
76 </p>
77 <p>
78 The default key binding for this view is `C-c a s'.
79 </p>
80 <p>
81 You can define a custom command to do such a search only in a
82 limited number of files, like this:
83 </p>
84 <p>
85 <pre>
88 </pre>
89 </p>
90 </div>
96 <ul>
97 <li>
98 M-RET can again be used to split a line so tha the rest of
99 the line becomes the new heading. However, if you do this
100 in a heading containing tags, the tags will stay in the old
101 line.
103 <p>
104 Customize the variable `org-M-RET-may-split-line' if you
105 don't want this command to split a line in the middle. The
106 same variable also influences line splitting in items and in
107 tables.
108 </p>
110 </li>
111 </ul></div>
112 </div>
113 </div>
124 <ul>
125 <li>
126 The variable `org-log-done' is now less complex.
127 </li>
128 <li>
129 The in-buffer settings for logging have changed. Some
130 options no longer exists, some new ones have been added.
132 </li>
133 </ul></div>
144 <p>
145 There is now more control over which state changes are being
146 logged in what way. Please read carefully the corresponding
147 sections in the manual. Basically:
148 </p>
149 <ul>
150 <li>
151 The variable `org-log-done' has been simplified, it no
152 longer influences logging state changes and clocking out.
153 </li>
154 <li>
155 There is a new variable for triggering note-taking when
156 clocking out an item: `org-log-note-clock-out'.
157 </li>
158 <li>
159 Logging of state changes now has to be configured on a
160 pre-keyword basis, either in `org-todo-keywords' or in the
161 #+TODO in-buffer setting.
162 </li>
163 <li>
164 These per-keyword settings allow more control. For example
166 <p>
167 <pre>
168 WAIT(w@) Record a note when entering this state.
169 WAIT(w!) Record a timestamp when entering this state.
170 WAIT(w@/!) Recore a note when entering and timestamp
171 when leaving this state. This is great for
172 getting a record when switching *back* from
173 WAIT to TODO.
174 WAIT(/!) Record a timestamp when leaving this state.
175 Here we not even define a fast access
176 character, but just the logging stuff.
177 </pre>

189 <ul>
190 <li>
191 M-RET no longer brakes a line in the middle, it will make a
192 new line after the current or (if cursor is at the beginning
193 of the line) before the current line.
195 </li>
196 <li>
197 RET, when executed in a headline after the main text and
198 before the tags will leave the tags in the current line and
199 create a new line below the current one.

329 The use of prefix arguments for the commands `org-remember'
330 and `org-refile' has been normalized:
332 <ul>
333 <li>
334 when called without prefix argument, the command does its
335 normal job, starting a remember note or refiling a tree.
337 </li>
338 <li>
339 when called with a single C-u prefix, these commands can be
340 used to select a target location and to jump there. In
341 the case of `org-remember', you will be prompted for a
342 template and then Emacs jumps to the default target
343 location or this template. In the case of `org-refile',
344 you select a location from the refile target list and jump
345 there.
347 </li>
348 <li>
349 when called with two prefixes (`C-u C-u'), the command
350 jumps to the location last used for storing a note or a
351 moved tree.
353 </li>
354 </ul></li>
355 <li>
356 When the clock is running inside an remember buffer, storing
357 the remember buffer with `C-c C-c' will automatically clock
358 out. This was inspired by a request by Rainer Stengle.
360 </li>
361 <li>
362 The variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'
363 introduced only in 5.19 is already obsolete. Please use
364 `org-remember-interactive-interface' instead. This new
365 variable does select the interface that is used to select
366 the target for a remember note in an interactive way.
367 Possible values are:
369 <ul>
370 <li>
371 `outline': Use an outline of the document to select a
372 location.
373 </li>
374 <li>
375 `outline-path-completion': Use completion of an outline
376 path to select a location.
377 </li>
378 <li>
379 `refile': Offer the `org-refile-targets' as possible
380 targets.
382 </li>
383 </ul></li>
384 <li>
385 It is no longer necessary to update the refiling targets -
386 they are always current.
388 </li>
389 <li>
390 In `org-goto', typing characters now automatically starts
391 isearch from the beginning of the buffer. The isearch is
392 special also because it only matches in headline. This
393 goes some way toward saving org-goto from being removed
394 from Org-mode. Thanks to Piotr Zielinski for the code, and
395 sorry that it took me so long to put it in. If you prefer
396 to use single letters n,p,f,b,u,q for navigation as before,
397 configure the variable `org-goto-auto-isearch'.
399 </li>
400 <li>
401 Outline-path-completion is now available as an alternative
402 interface in the command `org-goto'. Please select the
403 default interface you'd like to use with the new variable
404 `org-goto-interface'. You can then select the alternative
405 interface with a prefix argument to `C-c C-j' (org-goto). I
406 am considering to make outline-path-completion the default
407 interface. Comments?
410 </li>
411 </ul></div>
417 <ul>
418 <li>
419 Checkboxes now work hierarchically. When a plain-list item
420 with a checkbox has children with checkboxes, the status of
421 the item's checkbox is calculated from the children, each
422 time a checkbox is toggled with C-c C-c. Thanks to Miguel
423 A. Figueroa-Villanueva for a patch to this effect.
425 </li>
426 <li>
427 There is a new variable `org-special-ctrl-k'. When set,
428 `C-k' will behave specially in headlines:
430 <ul>
431 <li>
432 When the cursor is at the beginning of a headline, kill
433 the entire line and possible the folded subtree below the
434 line.
435 </li>
436 <li>
437 When in the middle of the headline text, kill the
438 headline up to the tags.
439 </li>
440 <li>
441 When after the headline text, kill the tags.
443 </li>
444 </ul>
445 <p>This is following a proposal by Piotr Zielinski.
446 </p>
447 </li>
448 <li>
449 You can now also have a plain (as opposed to deadline or
450 scheduled) repeater timestamp in a task. Switching the task
451 to DONE will now also shift a plain time stamp. This was a
452 request by Austin Frank.
454 </li>
455 <li>
456 If an entry is clocked multiple times, it will now show up
457 several times in the agenda and timeline buffers, when
458 log-mode is on. This was a proposal by Jurgen Defurne.
460 </li>
461 <li>
463 parameter can be `day' or `week' and will result in separate
464 tables for each day or week in the requested time interval.
465 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>.
467 </li>
468 <li>
469 A time-stamp with a repeater now no longer refers to the
471 today or the most recent match. This change makes sure that
472 overdue scheduled or deadline items never disappear from the
473 agenda. With the previous convention, an overdue scheduled
474 item would disappear. For example, a weekly item scheduled
475 for Sunday would appear as overdue until Wednesday, and the
476 suddenly disappear until next Sunday. Now the item will
477 show up as "Sched 7x" on Saturday. From Sunday on it will
478 be in the list as "Scheduled", i.e. old sins will be
479 forgiven. This follows a request by Warong, Dennis and
480 Bernt.
482 </li>
483 <li>
484 Archiving a subtree now creates an additional property,
486 outline tree to the archived entry, as it was in the
488 following hierarchy
490 <p>
491 <pre>
492 * Tasks
493 ** HOME
494 *** Garage
495 **** Fix the door
496 </pre>
497 </p>

500 </p>
501 <p>
502 <pre>
503 :ARCHIVE_PATH: Task/HOME/Garage
504 </pre>
505 </p>
506 <p>
507 Note that you can configure (i.e. limit) the information
508 that gets stored upon archiving with the variable
509 `org-archive-save-context-info'.

580 A new special column definition lists the sum of all CLOCK
581 entries in a subtree. For example
583 <p>
584 <pre>
586 </pre>
587 </p>
588 <p>
589 will allow you to compare estimated times (as given in the
590 Time_Estimate property) with the clocked times. This was a
591 request by Bernt Hansen.
592 </p>
593 </li>
594 <li>
595 Storing remember notes can now use the `org-refile'
596 interface instead of the `org-goto' interface (see the
597 variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive').
598 Nothing will change if the note is stored immediately after
600 have chosen (e.g. by pressing `C-u C-c C-c') to
601 interactively select the filing location (file and
602 headline), the refile interface will be used instead. I am
603 excited about this change, because the `org-goto' interface
604 is basically a failure, at least for this application. Note
605 that in any case the refile interface has to be configured
606 first by customizing `org-refile-targets'.
608 </li>
609 <li>
610 Notes inserted with remember now remove any whitespace
611 before and after the note before being pasted, so that there
612 will be no empty lines inserted together with the note. We
613 could invent special syntax in remember templates to allow
614 creating empty lines before a note - is there anyone who'd
615 want this?
617 </li>
618 <li>
619 Moving subtrees now folds all siblings of the subtree. This
620 is the only reasonably simple way I could find to avoid the
621 reported inconsistencies in the folding state of the outline
622 tree after moving entries. There are reasons to like this
623 new behavior, because it easily visualizes where the tree is
624 located after the move. Still, not everyone might be happy
625 with this. Massive complaining would be needed to make me
626 fix this.
628 </li>
629 <li>
630 New variable `org-agenda-todo-keyword-format' to specify the
631 width of the TODO keyword field in the agenda display. Use
632 it to get things to line up better. This was a proposal by
633 Rainer Stengele.
635 </li>
636 <li>
637 If a link description inserted with `C-c C-l' contains
638 brackets, the brackets will now be converted into curly
639 braces. This looks similar enough. Supporting brackets in
640 link descriptions is, for technical reasons too long to
641 explain here, complex.
643 </li>
644 <li>
645 The new option `org-clock-in-switch-to-state' can be set to
646 a TODO state that will be enforced when the clock is started
647 on an entry. This follows an idea by Sacha Chua.
649 </li>
650 <li>
651 The EXPORT_FILE_NAME property may now also be an absolute
652 file name, and it may contain abbreviations like "~" for the
653 users home directory. This was requested by Adam Spiers.

688 When cutting, pasting, or moving subtrees and items, the
690 part and will be moved with it. There is one exception to
691 this rule: If the first child is moved down (or,
692 equivalently, the second is moved up), the amount of empty
695 sounds complicated, but it allows to have extra empty space
696 before the first child and still have good behavior of the
697 subtree motion commands.
699 </li>
700 <li>
701 Plain lists items work the same.
703 </li>
704 </ul>
705 <p>I believe we have finally nailed this one. Thanks to Daniel
706 Pittman for bring this up again and to Eric Schulte for
708 that really count.

720 <ul>
721 <li>
722 The new command `org-remember-goto-last-stored' will jump
723 to the location of the remember note stored most recently.
724 If you have `org-remember' on a key like `C-c r', then you
725 can go to the location with a double prefix arg: `C-u C-u
726 C-c r'. This was a proposal by Rainer Stengele.
728 </li>
729 <li>
730 Template items that are being prompted for can now specify
731 a default value and a completion table. Furthermore,
732 previous inputs at a specific prompt are captured in a
733 history variable. For example:
735 <p>
736 <pre>
737 %^{Author|Roald Dahl|Thomas Mann|Larry Niven}
738 </pre>
739 </p>
740 <p>
741 will prompt for an author name. Pressing RET without
742 typing anything will select "Roald Dahl". Completion will
743 give you any of the three names. And a history will be
744 kept, so you can use the arrow keys to get to previous
745 input. The history is tied to the prompt. By using the
746 same prompt in different templates, you can build a history
747 across templates. The ideas for this came from proposals
748 by Bastien and Adam.
749 </p>
750 </li>
751 <li>
752 When a remember template contains the string `%!', the note
753 will be stored immediately after all template parts have
754 been filled in, so you don't even have to press `C-c
755 C-c'. The was a proposal by Adam Spiers.
757 </li>
758 </ul></div>

766 `org-refile-targets' has a new parameter to specify a
767 maximum level for target selection. Thanks to Wanrong Lin
768 for this proposal.
770 </li>
771 <li>
772 When the new option `org-refile-use-outline-path' is set,
773 refile targets will be presented like a file path to the
774 completion interface: "level 1/level 2/level 3". This
775 may be the fastest interface yet to get to a certain
776 outline entry. Do we need to use this interface in other
777 places? Thanks to Jose Ruiz for this proposal.

798 <p>
799 You can now permanently lock the agenda construction to a
800 certain scope, like a file or a subtree. So instead of
801 pressing "<" for each command in the agenda dispatcher, you
802 only once select a restriction scope. All subsequent agenda
803 commands will than respect this restriction. For example,
804 you can use this at work, to limit agendas to your work file
805 or tree, and at home to limit to the home file or tree. Or
806 you can use it during the day in order to focus in on certain
807 projects.
808 </p>
809 <p>
810 You select a scope with the command `C-c C-x <', which
811 restricts to the current subtree. When called with a `C-u'
812 prefix, the restriction is to the current file. You can also
813 make restrictions from the speedbar frame, see below.
814 </p>
815 <p>
816 When making a new restriction and an agenda window is
817 currently visible, it will immediately be updated to reflect
818 the new scope. TO if you like you can display an agenda view
819 and then watch it change in various scopes.
820 </p>
821 <p>
822 To get rid of the restriction, use the command "C-c C-x >".
824 in the dispatcher will disable the restriction lock and
825 select a new restriction.

838 Org-mode now supports Imenu. For example, with the setting
840 <p>
841 <pre>
842 (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
843 (lambda () 'imenu-add-to-menubar "Imenu"))
844 </pre>
845 </p>
846 <p>
847 a menu will be created in each Org-mode buffer that
849 depth of the menu can be set with the variable
850 `org-imenu-depth'.
851 </p>
852 </li>
853 <li>
854 org-mode now supports Speedbar. This means that you can
855 drill into the first and second level headlines of an
856 Org-mode file right from the speedbar frame.
858 </li>
859 <li>
860 You can set a restriction lock for the Org-mode agenda to a
861 file or a subtree directly from the speedbar frame. Just
862 press "<" with the cursor on an Org-mode file or subtree to
863 set the lock and immediately update the agenda if it is
864 visible. Use ">" to get rid of the lock again.

1033 </li>
1034 <li>
1035 I know that some people have defined their own private helper
1036 functions to select a specific remember template, without being
1037 prompted, like this:
1039 <p>
1040 <pre>
1041 (defun my-remember-template-n ()
1042 (interactive)
1043 (org-remember ?n))
1044 </pre>
1045 </p>
1046 <p>
1047 You need to modify this. The character selecting the template
1049 </p>
1050 <p>
1051 <pre>
1052 (defun my-remember-template-n ()
1053 (interactive)
1054 (org-remember nil ?n))
1055 </pre>
1056 </p>
1057 </li>
1058 <li>
1059 `C-c C-w' now refiles an entry. To get a sparse tree of
1060 deadlines, use `C-c / d' instead.
1062 </li>
1063 </ul></div>
1074 <ul>
1075 <li>
1076 New command `org-refile' to quickly move a note to a
1077 different place. It is bound to `C-c C-w'. The foremost
1078 application might be to put a note or task captured with
1079 `remember' into the proper list or project. The command
1080 offers a list of possible refiling targets for completion.
1081 These are headings under which the entry will be inserted
1082 as a subitem. By default, this will offer all top-level
1083 headings in the current buffer, but you can configure the
1084 variable `org-refile-targets' to get more complex
1085 definitions. For example:
1087 <p>
1088 <pre>
1089 (setq org-refile-targets '((nil . (:level . 2))))
1090 </pre>
1091 </p>
1092 <p>
1093 selects all level 2 headlines in the current buffer as
1094 targets. And
1095 </p>
1096 <p>
1097 <pre>
1098 (setq org-refile-targets
1099 '((org-agenda-files . (:tag . "refile"))))
1100 </pre>
1101 </p>
1102 <p>
1103 searches all agenda files and selects headlines that are
1104 explicitly marked with the tag :refile: . Note that the
1105 list of targets is built upon first use only, to rebuilt
1106 it, call the command `C-c C-w' with a double prefix
1107 argument.
1108 </p>
1109 <p>
1110 This is based on an idea and example implementation by Max
1111 Mikhanosha. Many thanks Max.
1112 </p>
1113 </li>
1114 <li>
1115 You can now use a C-u prefix on `org-remember' to jump to
1116 the location where a specific templates stores its notes.
1117 For example, if you have `org-remember' bound to `C-c r',
1118 then `C-u C-c r n' will get you to the file and headline
1119 given in the template associated with the letter "n".
1121 <p>
1122 This was proposed by someone, but I have lost track who.
1123 Sorry, and thanks anyway.
1124 </p>

1127 New %-escapes in remember templates:
1129 <p>
1130 <pre>
1131 %c insert the current clipboard, like C-y would do
1132 %(..) evaluate Lisp expression and insert the result
1133 %[..] include file
1134 </pre>
1135 </p>
1136 <p>
1137 Thanks to Adam Spiers and Tim O'Callaghan.
1138 </p>
1139 </li>
1140 <li>
1141 New function `org-remember-insinuate' that makes is easier
1142 to set Org-mode specific values for remember variables.
1143 Thanks to Michael Olson for this proposal. It is
1144 equivalent to:
1146 <p>
1147 <pre>
1148 (require 'remember)
1149 (setq remember-annotation-functions '(org-remember-annotation))
1150 (setq remember-handler-functions '(org-remember-handler))
1151 (add-hook 'remember-mode-hook 'org-remember-apply-template))
1152 </pre>
1153 </p>
1154 <p>
1155 You might still want to set `org-default-notes-file' to
1156 provide a default for templates without a file, and
1157 `org-directory' to show where to find other org files.
1158 </p>
1159 </li>
1160 </ul></div>
1166 <ul>
1167 <li>
1168 Stacked emphasis like */bold italic/* is no longer allowed.
1170 </li>
1171 <li>
1172 You may finally emphasize a single character like *a*.
1174 </li>
1175 <li>
1176 Font-lock now can hide the emphasis markers, just like Muse
1177 does. Configure the variable `org-hide-emphasis-markers'
1178 if you want this. Showing the characters continues to be
1179 the default in Org-mode.
1181 </li>
1182 <li>
1183 Text in the "=" emphasis is now exported verbatim, i.e. no
1184 further parsing and interpretation of this text takes place. So
1185 you can write =quoted *xxx* a_x = b=. This and the following
1186 point implement a request by Daniel Clemente.
1188 </li>
1189 <li>
1190 There is a new emphasis marker "~" which marks text to be
1191 exported verbatim, without special formatting. Inside an
1192 org-mode file, this text is highlighted with the org-verbatim
1193 face. I am not happy with the face yet (currently is is like
1194 org-code, but underlined), please suggest a better one.
1196 </li>
1197 <li>
1198 Whether an emphasis environment is verbatim or not is now an
1199 extra flag in the variable `org-emphasis-alist'. If you have
1200 configured this variable, do it again by first canceling your
1201 customization to revert to the default, and then adding it
1202 again.
1204 </li>
1205 <li>
1206 New variable `org-highlight-latex-fragments-and-specials'.
1207 When turned on, Org-mode will highlight all strings that
1208 are treated in a special way by the exporters. This is
1209 great for export-oriented writing, but maybe a bit noisy
1210 for note taking, so this feature is off by default.
1212 </li>
1213 </ul></div>
1219 <ul>
1220 <li>
1221 `org-use-property-inheritance' may now also be a list of
1222 property names that should be treated with inheritance
1223 during searches.
1225 </li>
1226 <li>
1228 even if the category is not specified as a property in the
1229 entry, but rather is inherited or derived from #+CATEGORY.
1230 Thanks to Adam, Tim, and Bastien for an interesting
1231 discussion around this issue.

1234 <li>
1235 Summary type improvements in column view.
1236 <ul>
1237 <li>
1238 The {+} summary type can specify a printf-style output
1239 format for computed values like this: {+;%5.2f}
1240 This was triggered by a report by Levin.
1241 </li>
1242 <li>
1243 New currency summary type {$}, which so far is just a
1244 shorthand for {+;%.2f}. Do we need to have a currency
1245 symbol in front of each value. Scott Jaderholm asked for
1246 this, but I am not sure if this is already what he meant.
1248 </li>
1249 </ul></li>
1250 </ul></div>
1256 <p>
1258 the date prompt.
1259 </p>
1260 <ul>
1261 <li>
1262 While entering data at the date prompt, the current
1263 interpretation of your input is shown next to your input in
1264 the minibuffer. I find this great to understand how the
1265 input works. If you find the extra stuff in the minibuffer
1266 annoying, turn it off with `org-read-date-display-live'.
1268 </li>
1269 <li>
1270 The date prompt now prefers to select the future. If you
1271 enter a date without a month, and the day number is before
1272 today (for example, on the 16th of the month you enter
1273 "9"), Org-mode will assume next month. Similarly, if you
1274 enter a month and no year, next year will be assumed if the
1275 entered month is before the current, for example if you
1276 enter "May" in September. Thanks to John Rakestraw for
1277 this great suggestion. If you find it confusing, turn it
1278 off with `org-read-date-prefer-future'.
1280 </li>
1281 <li>
1282 When modifying an existing date using `C-c .' at the stamp,
1283 the time or time range in the stamp are now offered as
1284 default input at the prompt. This goes a long way to
1285 simplifying the modification of an existing date. Thanks
1286 to Adam Spiers for this proposal.
1288 </li>
1289 </ul></div>
1295 <ul>
1296 <li>
1297 You can now export special strings in HTML. Here is the

1311 </table>
1314 <p>
1315 You can turn this globally on or off with
1316 `org-export-with-special-strings' or locally with "-:t" or
1317 "-:nil" in the #+OPTIONS line. Thanks to Adam Spiers for
1318 starting the discussion, and thanks to Daniel Clemente and
1319 William Henney for relevant inputs.

1345 </ul></div>
1351 <ul>
1352 <li>
1353 You can now select the sectioning structure of your LaTeX
1354 export by setting it either globally
1355 (`org-export-latex-default-class') or locally in each Org
1356 file (with #+LaTeX_CLASS: myclass). You can also customize
1357 the list of available classes and their sectioning
1358 structures through the new `org-export-latex-classes'
1359 option. Thanks to Daniel for discussions and suggestion on
1360 this issue.

1363 <li>
1364 You can send and receive radio lists in HTML,
1365 LaTeX or TeXInfo, just as you send and receive radio

1407 <li>
1408 When interpopating into Lisp formulas in the spreadsheet,
1409 the values of constants and properties are no longer
1410 enclosed into parenthesis. When interpolating for calc,
1411 this still happens in order to allow expressions in
1412 constants. This problem was reported by Eddward DeVilla.
1414 </li>
1415 <li>
1416 When a directory is listed in `org-agenda-files', all files
1417 with extension matched by the new variable
1418 `org-agenda-file-regexp' in that directory will be agenda
1419 files.

1521 </li>
1522 <li>
1523 You can now capture a column view into a dynamic block, for
1524 exporting or printing it. The column view can be
1526 <ul>
1527 <li>
1528 global, i.e. for the entire file
1529 </li>
1530 <li>
1531 local, i.e. for the subtree where the dynamic block is
1532 </li>
1533 <li>
1534 from an entry with a specific :ID: property.
1536 </li>
1537 </ul>
1538 <p>You can identify the entry whose column view you want to
1539 capture by assigning an :ID: property, and use that property
1540 in the dynamic block definition. For example:
1541 </p>
1542 <p>
1543 <pre>
1544 * Planning
1545 :PROPERTIES:
1546 :ID: planning-overview
1547 :END:
1549 [...]
1551 * The column view
1554 #+END:
1555 </pre>
1556 </p>
1557 <p>
1558 Use `C-c C-x r' to insert such a dynamic block, and you will
1559 be prompted for the ID.
1560 </p>
1561 </li>
1562 <li>
1563 When the current column format displays TODO keyword,
1564 priority or tags, these parts are stripped from the content
1565 of the ITEM column, making for more compact and readable
1566 entries. When any of these "properties" are not listed in
1567 the current column format, they are instead retained in the
1568 ITEM column.
1570 </li>
1571 <li>
1572 You can now also edit the ITEM column with `e'.
1574 </li>
1575 </ul></div>
1581 <ul>
1582 <li>
1583 Instead of pressing `1' to restrict an agenda command to
1584 the current buffer, or `0' to restrict it to the current
1585 subtree or region, you can now also press `<' once or
1587 commands, a request by Bastien. In fact, "<" cycles
1589 still available for backward compatibility, until you bind
1590 them to custom commands.
1592 </li>
1593 <li>
1594 The access code to custom agenda commands can now contain
1595 several characters, effectively allowing to bundle several
1596 similar commands into a sub-keymap. This follows an
1597 excellent proposal by Adam Spiers. For example:
1599 <p>
1600 <pre>
1601 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
1606 </pre>
1607 </p>
1608 </li>
1609 <li>
1610 The user function option in org-agenda-custom-commands may
1611 now also be a lambda expression, following a request by
1612 Adam Spiers.
1614 </li>

1826 New variable `org-scheduled-past-days' to set the number a

1839 New sparse tree function `org-sparse-tree'. This is now the
1840 default binding for `C-c /'. It requires one additional

1842 single interface to all the different sparse tree commands,
1843 with full completion support.

1847 The variable `org-ellipsis' now defaults to the face

1973 and body as the summary and the description, respectively.

1977 New function to go to the entry with the currently running
1978 clock. Bound to `C-c C-x C-j', in agenda also to "J". If
1979 you use this often, you might even want to assign a global
1980 key. Thanks to Bernt and Bastien.
1982 </li>
1983 <li>
1984 Clock entries can now have their own drawer, the :CLOCK:
1985 drawer. Check out the variable `org-clock-into-drawer' for
1986 configuration of this feature. The default is to create a
1987 drawer when the second clocking line gets added to an entry.
1988 Note that "CLOCK" has been added to the default value of
1989 `org-drawers', but if you have configured that variable, you
1990 must go back and add "CLOCK" yourself to get this drawer
1991 folded away. Thanks to Tom Weissman for pointing out that
1992 too many clock entries are visually annoying.
1994 </li>
1995 <li>
1996 `C-c C-x C-r' no longer tries to find the first clocktable
1997 in a buffer and then updates it. Instead, it will update
1998 the clocktable at point if there is one (same as C-c C-c
1999 will do if the cursor is in the "#+BEGIN" line of the
2000 table). If there is none at point, a new one will be
2001 inserted. This change was necessary because the new :scope
2002 parameter allows to have several clocktables in a buffer.
2003 Thanks to Bastien for pointing this out.
2004 To update all dynamic blocks in a file, use `C-u C-c C-x C-u'.
2006 </li>
2007 <li>
2008 The function `org-remember' can now be called with a
2009 template selection key as argument. This helps to make key
2010 bindings that go directly to a specific template without
2011 being prompted for a template, like this:
2013 <p>
2014 <pre>
2015 (global-set-key [f5] (lambda () (interactive) (org-remember "j")))

2115 Both the category and the archive location in a (sub)tree of
2116 the buffer can now be specified using a property, for
2117 example:
2119 <p>
2120 <pre>
2121 * Tree with special properties
2122 :PROPERTIES:
2123 :CATEGORY: Examples
2124 :ARCHIVE: /some/special/file::
2125 :END:
2126 </pre>
2127 </p>

2129 This is a much cleaner way of dealing with multiple
2130 categories and archives in a single file. The preferred use
2133 overruled by properties. This was a proposal from Bastien
2135 and I don't plan to remove this support soon, but I
2136 encourage you to stop using them.

2141 the range in the file from which clock entries should be

2148 <thead>
2150 </thead>
2151 <tbody>

2164 inspiration. Thanks to cranreuch (what is you full name?)
2165 for mentioning, at the right moment, that the clocktable is
2166 not so bad - that remark made it seem worthwhile to add
2167 features.

2170 <li>
2171 The commands to import a table and to convert a region to a
2172 table can now handle comma-separated values (CSV). The
2173 algorithm does not yet treat quoting correctly, but for
2174 basic input it works.
2176 </li>
2177 <li>
2178 When modifying an existing time stamp, or when entering the
2179 second stamp of a range, the date prompt will now
2180 consistently default to the date/time in the existing stamp.
2181 This was triggered by Nuutti Kotivuori's request.
2183 </li>
2184 <li>
2185 At the date/time prompt, there is a new way to specify a
2186 range of hours, by using "+DURATION" after the time. For
2187 example:
2189 <p>
2190 <pre>
2193 </pre>

2200 When you use the function `turn-on-orgstruct++' to turn on
2201 orgstruct-mode, the special org-mode settings for
2202 auto-filling, indentation and paragraphs are exported into
2203 the buffer, so that typing list items with indentation works
2204 better. This was Bastien's idea and request.
2206 </li>
2207 <li>
2208 New variable `org-priority-start-cycle-with-default'. When
2209 t (the default), priority cycling will initially set the
2210 default priority and then increase or decrease. When nil,
2211 the first priority set by cycling is already 1 different
2212 from the default priority. This was mostly driven by
2213 Bastien.
2215 </li>
2216 <li>
2217 In column view: When an entry has a property for a summary
2218 column defined, its value is normally overwritten by the sum
2219 of all the children's values each time you enter column
2220 view. Now there is an exception to this rule: If none of
2221 the children has that particular property defined, the
2222 parent's value stays. In this way you can still place TODO
2223 items under such an entry without getting the property value
2224 changed. Thanks to Russel Adams for pointing out that this
2225 is a better way of doing things.
2227 </li>
2228 <li>
2229 In column view, computed values are now bold face, and
2230 trying to edit them is an error. I think this works, but
2231 testing is appreciated.
2233 </li>
2234 <li>
2235 New command `org-occur-in-agenda-files', this is basically
2236 the quick command John Wiegley proposed the other day, but
2237 it also works when the agenda files are not yet in buffers.
2238 The key is `C-c C-x /', any better proposals?

2334 You can now set the format of the string for each day in the
2335 agenda and timeline buffers. You can use a format string
2336 interpreted by `format-time-string', or you can write your
2337 own function. Configure the new variable
2338 `org-agenda-format-date'. Thanks to Levin for triggering
2339 this development with a patch.
2341 </li>
2342 <li>
2343 The default for `org-remember-store-without-prompt' is now
2344 t, in order to better match the original intent of
2345 remember.el (storing a note with minimum interruption of
2346 work flow). Since we can assign files and headlines to
2347 templates, I guess this takes care of selecting a filing
2348 location in most cases. For interactive filing, you now
2349 need a prefix command when exiting `remember'.
2351 </li>
2352 <li>
2353 `org-goto' (bound to `C-c C-j') now uses an indirect buffer
2354 and has additional commands enabled: Org-occur with `C-c /'
2355 or even faster with `/', and the commands needed to select
2356 and copy a region. This make `org-goto' a more general
2357 lookup command instead of only a jumping command. Remember
2358 that you can exit with `Q' to go back to the original
2359 location. Thanks to William Henney for this idea.
2361 </li>
2362 <li>
2363 Setting the priority with S-up/down now cycles back to a
2364 state where no priority is specified. This was requested by
2365 Rick Moynihan.
2367 </li>
2368 <li>
2370 So if you select a location interactively once, you can
2371 re-use it without having to find it again. For this, exit
2372 the remember buffer with `C-u C-u C-c C-c'. The leading
2373 comment in the remember buffer will tell exactly where the
2374 note goes if you exit with a particular command.
2375 Thanks to Maxim Loginov for this idea.
2377 </li>
2378 <li>
2379 On Emacs 23, the headline faces for org-mode are now
2380 inherited from the outline faces. This is just a
2381 convenience, so that you only have to configure one set of
2383 will actually not see any difference in org-mode, because
2384 Stefan Monnier has made the outline faces in Emacs 23 to
2385 match the current org-mode faces.

2416 There is now a separate interface for fast and directly
2417 setting a TODO keyword. This interface kicks in when you
2418 have configured keys for TODO keywords like
2420 <p>
2421 <pre>
2422 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | DONE(d) CANCELED(c)
2423 </pre>
2424 </p>
2425 <p>
2426 C-c C-t still does the cycling thing, you need to use a
2427 prefix argument to get to the fast interface. Or configure
2428 the variable `org-use-fast-todo-selection' to t, then this
2429 will be the default and the prefix argument will make the
2430 command fall back to cycling.
2431 </p>
2432 <p>
2433 The tag selection no longer does include TODO keywords -
2434 Leo's arguments have convinced me that this is not a good
2435 idea. If you'd like to see the TODO keywords in the tags
2436 interface anyway, set the variable
2437 `org-fast-tag-selection-include-todo'. Thanks to Leo and
2438 others for input on this issue.

2454 file can now be set to a specific value with a line like
2456 <p>
2457 <pre>
2459 </pre>
2460 </p>
2461 <p>
2462 If you want to use the date/time when the file was created,
2463 use a format string that will be interpreted by
2464 `format-time-string', for example:
2465 </p>
2466 <p>
2467 <pre>
2468 #+DATE: %Y/%m/%d %X
2469 </pre>
2470 </p>

2473 The default of `org-deadline-warning-days' has changed to 14
2474 days. 30 was really too much, I suspect most people (me
2475 included) have changed this.
2477 </li>
2478 <li>
2479 When a deadline has an individual lead time, this lead time
2480 obviously overrules `org-deadline-warning-days'. However,
2482 example during a custom agenda command, then the absolute
2483 value of this number will be enforced also when a different
2484 lead time has been specified. This is useful to get a list
2485 of all deadlines coming up in the next N days.

2553 You can now define different faces for different TODO
2554 keywords. This request has come up frequently, so here it
2555 is: Use the variable `org-todo-keyword-faces'.
2557 <p>
2558 A Here is a configuration example:
2559 </p>
2560 <p>
2561 <pre>
2562 (setq org-todo-keyword-faces
2563 '(("TODO" . org-warning)
2564 ("DEFERRED" . shadow)
2566 :underline t))))
2567 </pre>
2568 </p>
2569 <p>
2570 Org-mode continue still use `org-todo' and `org-done' for
2571 keywords that have no specific face assigned.
2572 </p>
2573 </li>
2574 <li>
2575 Some People use TODO states more like tags. For them the
2576 TODO keywords mark special states and they like to quickly
2577 switch between states in arbitrary sequence. The standard
2578 TODO interface is not perfect for this, because it assumes
2579 that the states are reached in sequence. However, the fast
2580 tag setting interface is in fact perfect for this. You can
2581 now "misuse" the TAG selection interface to also set TODO
2582 states. All you need to do is to assign keys to the TODO
2583 states, just like you also do for tags.
2585 <p>
2586 <pre>
2587 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) WAITING(w) | CANCELED(c) DONE(d)
2588 #+TAGS: @HOME(h) @OFFICE(o) @SHOP(s)
2589 </pre>
2590 </p>
2591 <p>
2592 Next time you try to set tags with C-c C-c, the todo states
2593 will be offered as well, and the corresponding key will
2594 switch the entry to that state.
2595 </p>
2596 </li>
2597 <li>
2598 New variable `org-archive-save-context-info' governs if
2599 information that would be lost by moving a subtree to the
2600 archive file, should be stored as special properties. For
2601 example,
2603 <p>
2604 <pre>
2605 (setq org-archive-save-context-info '(itags category))
2606 </pre>
2607 </p>
2608 <p>
2609 will store the inherited tags and the category in properties
2610 ARCHIVE_ITAGS and ARCHIVE_CATEGORY, respectively. The
2611 default setting for this variable is to save everything that
2612 could be lost. This was a proposal by John Wiegley.
2613 </p>
2614 </li>
2615 <li>
2616 Sorting (`C-c ^') can use the use the priority to sort. Use
2619 </li>
2620 <li>
2621 `Org-ellipsis' can now also be a face to make the folding
2622 ellipsis more visible. This is based on a post by Tassilo
2623 Horn. Since `org-ellipsis' only works in Org-mode, you
2624 might want to use Tassilo Horn's hack directly in order to
2625 affect the folding ellipsis globally.

2629 Scheduling info is no longer removed when an entry is marked

2634 </li>
2635 <li>
2636 New option `org-agenda-skip-unavailable-files'. Currently,
2637 if a file does not exist, it will be removed from

2639 the file will simply be skipped.

2666 When exporting only a region and this region is a single
2667 (sub)tree (for example selected with `C-c @'), the title for
2668 the exported document is taken to be the heading of the
2669 subtree. The sublevels become top-level entries in the
2670 export. Furthermore, if the head entry of the tree has or
2671 inherits an EXPORT_FILE_NAME property, that file name (with
2672 appropriately substituted extension) will be used for the
2673 exported tree. Thanks to Patrick Drechsler and Jost Burkart
2674 for these ideas.

2677 <li>
2678 org-special-ctrl-a/e has a third allowed value, `reversed'.
2679 When it is set to this value, the first C-a or C-e command
2680 behaves normally, i.e. it goes to the true beginning or end
2681 of the line. Only when you press C-a or C-e immediately
2682 again, the the "special" position will be found. Additional
2683 presses of the same key jump between the two positions. I
2684 like this a lot better than the `t' setting, because now the
2685 keys behave more predictable and still give easy access to
2686 the special locations.

2769 Bastien's `org-export-latex.el' is now part of the org-mode
2770 distribution. You can export an Org-mode document to a
2771 LaTeX file with `C-c C-e l'. For more options, see the
2772 manual, and the commentary in the Lisp file. Kudos to
2773 Bastien for contributing this frequently requested feature.
2774 I am sure this has been tough because of the many different
2775 ways I have been allowing LaTeX snippets and environments to
2776 be incorporated in lazy free-format ways.
2778 </li>
2779 <li>
2780 Org-mode has now an extension mechanism for the hyperlink
2781 system. This should clear the road for all those mairix and
2782 other ideas that have been floating around. Now it is on
2784 interface for adding a new link type is described in the
2785 appendix of the manual, section A2. The unsolved problem is
2786 currently how to handle the new link types for
2787 export/publishing.
2789 </li>
2790 <li>
2792 `org-insert-link-global'. You can bind these commands to
2793 global keys and use them to insert and follow Org-mode-like
2794 links anywhere in Emacs. Thanks to Adam Spiers for this
2795 excellent idea.
2797 </li>
2798 <li>
2799 Each deadline timestamp may now specify its own interval of
2800 lead-time display, given in days, weeks, months or years.
2801 The syntax is like this
2803 <p>
2804 <pre>
2806 </pre>
2807 </p>
2808 <p>
2809 When combined with a repeater, the repeater has to come
2810 first:
2811 </p>
2812 <p>
2813 <pre>
2815 </pre>
2816 </p>
2817 <p>
2818 You may now also customize the faces that are used in the
2819 agenda to indicate the distance of an approaching deadline.
2820 See the new option `org-agenda-deadline-faces'.
2821 </p>
2822 <p>

2824 this direction.
2825 </p>
2826 </li>
2827 <li>
2828 New option `org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all'. When
2829 set to nil, repeating time stamps will only show up once in
2830 the agenda, either today or in the near future. Other
2831 matches will be ignored. Thanks to John Wiegley for this
2832 proposal.
2834 </li>
2835 <li>
2836 New variable `org-remember-store-without-prompt'. When set,
2837 exiting the remember buffer with C-c C-c will store the note
2838 without further prompts to the default location, and `C-u
2839 C-c C-c' will get the prompts for file and location. So
2840 this variable reverses the prefix-argument functionality for
2841 storing remember notes. This follows a request from John
2842 Wiegley.

2845 <li>
2846 A new function `org-agenda-to-appt' activates all

2851 </li>
2852 <li>
2853 You can now set default values for properties that can be
2854 inherited by all entries in a buffer, or by all entries
2855 globally. Global properties are set in the variable
2856 `org-global-properties', like this:
2858 <p>
2860 </p>
2861 <p>
2862 Buffer-local values are set like this:
2863 </p>
2864 <p>
2865 #+PROPERTY: NAME This is the value
2866 </p>
2867 <p>
2868 When using org-entry-get to get the value of a property with
2869 the `inherit' flag and the hierarchy above the entry does
2870 not contain this property, the buffer-local and global lists
2871 are checked as well. This is mostly useful (I think) to set
2872 the list of allowed values for a property. Thanks to Bernt
2873 Hansen and Bastien for these ideas.

2948 When the variable `org-special-ctrl-a/e' is set, C-e in a

2950 tags. A second C-e then goes to after the tags.
2952 </li>

2954 Typing and removing single characters in a headline now

3029 Improvements for properties:

3032 <li>
3033 There are interactive commands to insert and delete
3034 properties. Read the manual chapter 7 for details.
3036 </li>
3037 <li>
3039 these are defined, you can change the value of a property
3040 with S-left and S-right. And you may use completion when
3041 inserting the property. This goes a long way to prevent
3042 typos when entering properties.
3044 </li>
3045 </ul></li>
3046 <li>
3047 Improvements for column view.
3049 <ul>
3050 <li>
3051 In column view, you may use the keys S-left/right (and
3052 also the keys `n' and `p') to switch from one allowed
3053 value to the next.
3055 </li>
3056 <li>
3057 You can define summaries for columns. For example,
3058 parents can contain the sum of all children values of a
3059 property, or the parent node can have a check box property
3060 that is automatically checked when all children's boxes are
3061 checked.
3063 </li>
3064 <li>
3065 There are interactive commands to add and remove columns,
3066 and to change the attributes of a column like the summary
3067 type.
3069 </li>
3070 </ul>
3071 <p>These additions lead to the exciting fact that the example
3072 from <a href="http://www.omnigroup.com/images/applications/omnioutliner/features/multicolumn.jpg">omni outliner</a> posted by Scott Jaderholm can now be
3074 </p>
3075 </li>

3164 <p>
3165 There is a new minor mode, orgstruct-mode. This modes works
3166 in a similar way as Orgtbl-mode. It can be used to export
3167 the Org-mode structure-editing commands into arbitrary major
3168 modes in Emacs. For example, you can use it in Mail-mode to
3169 easily create lists.
3170 </p>
3171 <p>
3172 The functionality in Orgstruct mode is only active, if the
3173 cursor is in a line that looks either like a headline, or
3174 like the first line of a plain list item. Then the commands
3175 `TAB', `M-cursor', `M-S-cursor', `M-RET', `M-S-RET', `C-c ^',
3176 `C-c C-c', and `C-c -' will do structure-related editing just
3177 like in Org-mode. If the cursor is not in such a line, all
3178 these keys will do whatever the major mode or other active
3179 minor modes have assigned to them.
3180 </p>
3181 <p>
3182 Orgstruct-mode is the result of a proposal by Raman, quite
3183 some time ago. It has taken a long time, but here is finally
3184 the promised implementation.
3185 </p>
3186 </div>
3192 <p>
3194 that remain folded during visibility cycling. Drawers need
3195 to be configured using the variable `org-drawers'. A drawer
3196 starts with a line containing only the name of the drawer
3197 bracketed by colons. It ends with :END:. For example,
3198 after setting
3199 </p>
3200 <p>
3201 <pre>
3203 </pre>
3204 </p>
3205 <p>
3206 you can then create drawers like this:
3207 </p>
3208 <p>
3209 <pre>
3210 :HIDDEN:
3211 here is some stuff that remains hidden
3212 unless TAB is pressed directly in that line
3213 :END:
3214 </pre>
3215 </p>
3216 <p>
3217 The PROPERTIES drawer has special meaning for ORG-mode, it
3218 contains properties of an entry (see below).
3219 </p>
3220 </div>
3226 <ul>
3227 <li>
3229 associated with them. Org-mode handles some default
3230 properties like the TODO state, the priority, the local
3231 tags, and planning information like DEADLINE and SCHEDULED.
3232 In addition, you can assign arbitrary properties by creating
3233 a property drawer and inserting a line like
3235 <p>
3236 <pre>
3237 :PROPNAME: This is the value of the property
3238 </pre>
3239 </p>
3240 <p>
3241 Org-mode has an API for properties, if you want to write a
3242 program using properties, use the functions
3243 `org-entry-properties', `org-entry-get', `org-entry-put',
3244 and `org-entry-delete'.
3245 </p>
3246 </li>
3247 <li>
3248 Planning information like DEADLINE can be hidden in the
3249 properties drawer.
3251 <p>
3252 If the PROPERTIES drawer starts in the first line after a
3253 headline, also the DEADLINE, SCHEDULED and CLOCK information
3254 will be inserted inside the drawer. If no PROPERTIES drawer
3255 is present, or if it does not start in the line right after
3256 the headline, this information remains in the lines directly
3257 after the headline, outside the drawer.
3258 </p>
3259 </li>
3260 <li>
3261 TAGS searches can now also query properties. For example,
3262 the search
3264 <p>
3265 <pre>
3267 </pre>
3268 </p>
3269 <p>
3270 will find entries that
3271 </p><ul>
3272 <li>
3273 are level 3
3274 </li>
3275 <li>
3276 have the tag BOSS
3277 </li>
3278 <li>
3279 have an ASSIGNED property with the value "Hans"
3280 </li>
3281 <li>
3282 are TODO status WAITING.
3284 <p>
3285 So here is an entry that will match:
3286 </p>
3287 <p>
3288 <pre>
3289 *** WAITING Clean up the factory :BOSS:
3290 :PROPERTIES:
3291 :ASSIGNED: Hans
3292 :END:
3293 </pre>
3294 </p>
3295 <p>
3296 You may also use a regular expression to match against a
3297 property value. For example, to find stuff assigned to Hans
3298 or Sarah, use
3299 </p>
3300 <p>
3301 <pre>
3302 ASSIGNED={^\(Hans\|Sarah\)$}
3303 </pre>
3304 </p>
3305 </li>
3306 </ul></li>
3307 <li>
3308 Column View is a special way to look at property values in
3309 tabular form. Column View can be used in any org-mode
3310 file, and also in any agenda buffer. It works by placing
3311 an overlay over each headline (or agenda line) that shows a
3312 table of selected properties. You can look at and edit
3313 properties from this view. Which properties are shown in
3314 the table must be set up using the COLUMNS property. You
3315 can set up different property columns on different levels
3316 of an outline tree. For example:
3318 <p>
3319 <pre>
3320 * People
3321 :PROPERTIES:
3322 :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name
3323 :END:
3324 ** Family
3325 :PROPERTIES:
3327 :END:
3328 *** Sam
3329 Info about Sam, including a property list with Name and Age.
3330 *** Sarah
3331 Info about Sarah, including a property list with Name and Age.
3332 ** Office
3333 :PROPERTIES:
3334 :COLUMNS: %25ITEM %Name %Function %Salary
3335 :END:
3336 *** Boss
3337 Info about the Boss, including a property list with Name,
3338 Function and Salary (if only we knew....).
3339 </pre>
3340 </p>
3341 <p>
3342 Now we have defined three different sets of columns. If
3344 will get a different table than if you do it in the
3347 table will cover all entries, but contain only the
3349 </p>
3350 <p>
3351 Column view does, for the time being, only work on Emacs.
3352 The XEmacs implementation needs a bit of work.
3353 </p>
3354 </li>
3355 <li>
3356 Properties can be used in table formulas. To access the
3357 value of the property :XYZ:, use $PROP_XYZ. The property
3358 needs to be defined in the hierarchy above the table, not
3359 necessarily in the same entry as the table. This was a
3360 request by Eddward. File-wide constants can be defined with
3361 #+CONSTANTS, see below.

3403 In the spreadsheet, the evaluation of formulas has changed.
3404 Previously, first the column formulas would be evaluated
3405 everywhere, and then the field formulas would kick in, and
3406 in some cases overwrite the results of column formulas in
3407 the appropriate fields. This had the side effect that some
3408 formulas might always use the wrong, intermediate content of
3409 a field that is computed both by a column and a field
3410 formula.
3412 <p>
3413 From now on, column formulas will no longer temporarily
3414 overwrite field formulas. This gives much more consistent
3415 results. For example you can now finally have a column of
3416 increasing numbers by setting the first field to a fixed
3417 number, and let the rest follow from a column formula.
3418 </p>
3419 <p>
3420 Here is an example
3421 </p>
3422 <p>
3423 <pre>
3424 | 1 |

3432 Constants for formulas in spreadsheets are globally defined
3433 with the variable `org-table-formula-constants'. File-local
3434 constants can now be set with a line like:
3436 <p>
3437 <pre>
3439 </pre>
3440 </p>
3441 </li>
3442 </ul></div>
3448 <ul>
3449 <li>
3450 When entries are archived, a timestamp for the moment of
3451 archiving is added to the line with planning information.

3577 There is now a special version of `org.el' for XEmacs.
3578 Before installation, as an XEmacs user you must rename the
3579 file org_xemacs.el to org.el, i.e. you must overwrite org.el
3580 with the xemacs version. For example:
3582 <p>
3583 <pre>
3584 mv org_xemacs.el org.el
3585 </pre>
3586 </p>
3587 <p>
3588 This is necessary so that I can make use of some features
3589 that would be cumbersome to support in a single file. The
3590 XEmacs version is derived from the Emacs version with a
3591 program, so no reason to fear that I might be dropping
3592 XEmacs support any time soon. Sorry for the trouble.

3595 </ul></div>

3603 A time stamp may now contain a range of times. So you no
3604 longer need to use two separate stamps to indicate a time
3605 interval on a single day. For example
3607 <p>
3608 <pre>
3610 </pre>
3611 </p>
3612 <p>
3613 This is now fully supported, including changing the time
3614 with S-up/down while the cursor is on the end time. Also,
3615 da the date/time prompt, you can simply write your time like
3617 </p>
3618 <p>

3620 Michael.

3637 TAGS may now contain language-specific word characters, as
3638 long as they are matched by the "[:alnum:]" regexp syntax.
3639 This is for Emacs only, the XEmacs version continues to use
3640 the character class "a-zA-Z0-9_@" for tag names. Thanks to
3641 David Smith for a patch to this effect (a modified version
3642 of that patch was applied). I am considering to make the
3643 same change for TODO keywords, but not yet. Note that files
3644 using localization features may not work correctly in the
3645 Emacs configuration of another user, so if you are sharing
3646 org-mode files with other users, it might still be best to
3647 stick to the ASCII characters.
3649 </li>
3650 <li>
3651 Promotion and demotion of plain list items (commands M-left,
3652 M-right) no longer changes the indentation by just one
3653 space. Instead, it uses intelligence gathered from the
3654 surrounding list structure to do the right thing. Thanks to
3655 William Henney for starting the discussion about this.
3657 </li>
3658 <li>
3659 TAB does now a better job of indenting lines.
3661 <ul>
3662 <li>
3663 After tables and code segments (lines starting with ":"),
3664 indentation goes back to what it was before (thanks to
3665 William Henney for suggesting this behavior).
3667 </li>
3668 <li>
3669 When plain lists items are involved, we had a long
3670 discussion on emacs-orgmode where I tried to show that a
3671 too-sophisticated implementation will still be easily
3672 fooled. Here is what I have implemented now - lets see
3673 if we can agree on this:
3675 <p>
3676 Indentation will flatten lists with the same bullet type,
3677 but indent another bullet type further. The time when
3678 this fails is in a nested list, when you want to get back
3679 out to a previous level. For example
3680 </p>
3681 <p>
3682 <pre>
3683 - item 1
3684 - item 2
3685 + item 2a
3686 + item 2b
3687 - item 3
3688 </pre>
3689 </p>
3690 <p>
3691 When using TAB on every line in this list, the structure
3692 will change to
3693 </p>
3694 <p>
3695 <pre>
3696 - item 1
3697 - item 2
3698 + item 2a
3699 + item 2b
3700 - item 3
3701 </pre>
3702 </p>
3703 <p>
3704 So you need to change the level of the last line by hand,
3705 using promotion and demotion functions.

3740 </ul></div>
3746 <ul>
3747 <li>
3748 You can now specify column groups in tables, to the effect
3749 that the groups will be separated by vertical lines in HTML
3750 and ASCII output. Column groups are specified by the
3752 group, ">" ends a group (in each case including the the
3753 column where the character is specified). You may also use
3754 "<>" to make a group a single column wide. For example:
3756 <p>
3757 <pre>
3759 |---+----+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
3765 </pre>
3766 </p>
3767 <p>
3768 A table row with with nothing but "/" in the first field is
3769 never exported, but can be used to place column group
3770 information into the table. In this table, we create a
3773 groups.
3774 </p>
3775 <p>
3778 wherever you want a vertical line:
3779 </p>
3780 <p>
3781 <pre>
3783 |---+-----+-----+-----+---------+------------|
3785 </pre>
3786 </p>
3787 </li>
3788 <li>
3789 Vertical lines are now also omitted in ASCII export, unless
3790 grouping explicitly requests these lines.
3792 </li>
3793 <li>
3794 The default for `org-show-following-heading' is now nil,
3795 meaning that sparse trees will be more compact. This has
3796 become possible due to in important remark by Jason Dunsmore
3797 who pointed out that TAB should behave differently in the
3798 inconsistent trees produced by the sparse tree commands.
3799 TAB does now make sure that the heading after a freshly
3800 unfolded tree is made visible at all, removing the confusing
3801 behavior we had before.

3808 <li>
3809 Strings produced by agenda batch processing with
3810 `org-batch-agenda' and `org-batch-agenda-csv' are now
3811 properly encoded, so that you should be able to use
3812 special characters in other languages as along as your
3813 post-processing program handles them correctly. At least
3814 for Emacs this should work now, but have not yet figured
3815 out how to do this in XEmacs.

3935 You can use an sexp diary entry (with the syntax used by the
3936 Emacs calendar/diary) in a time stamp, like this:
3938 <p>
3939 *** The nerd club meets on 2nd Thursday of every month
3940 </p></li>
3941 </ul>
3943 </p>
3944 <ul>
3945 <li>
3946 You can put diary-style sexp entries directly into an
3947 org-mode file, where they will be interpreted just like they
3948 would in the diary. For example
3950 <ul>
3951 <li>
3952 Birthdays and similar stuff
3953 </li>
3954 </ul>
3955 <p>#+CATEGORY: Holiday
3956 %%(org-calendar-holiday) ; special function for holiday names
3957 #+CATEGORY: Ann
3958 %%(diary-anniversary 14 5 1956) Artur Dent %d is years old
3959 %%(diary-anniversary 2 10 1869) Mahatma Gandhi
3960 </p>
3961 <p>
3962 These entries must start at column 0 to be evaluated.
3963 </p>
3964 <p>
3965 It turns out that evaluating the entries in an org-mode file
3966 is actually faster than in the diary itself, because using
3967 the diary has some overhead (creating fancy diary display,
3968 then reading and re-interpreting the entries). I have moved
3969 all the sexp entries from my diary into an org-mode file,
3970 put in a few categories, and then turned off
3971 `org-agenda-include-diary'. This has led to a noticeably
3972 faster agenda display.
3973 </p>
3974 </li>
3975 <li>
3976 New command `org-replace-region-by-html' that converts the
3977 current region from org-mode syntax into HTML. For example,
3978 you might write an itemized list in plain text in an HTML
3979 buffer, and then invoke this command to convert it. Thanks
3980 to Raman for this idea.
3982 </li>
3983 <li>
3984 When inserting a link with `C-c C-l', completion will now
3985 fill in all valid link prefixes, like http or ftp, but also
3986 link abbreviation prefixes. This is based on an idea by

4007 <li>
4008 There is a new command to add or change the emphasis (like
4009 bold or italic) of a piece of text. For lack of better
4010 available keys the command is at `C-c C-x C-f', but you may
4011 well want to choose a more convenient key like `C-c f' in
4012 your private setup:
4014 <p>
4015 (add-hook 'org-load-hook
4016 (lambda () (define-key org-mode-map "\C-cf" 'org-emphasize)))
4017 </p>
4018 <p>
4019 The command will prompt for an emphasis type, and you may
4020 reply either with the marker that triggers the emphasis, or
4021 with the first letter of the corresponding HTML tag. For
4023 </p>
4024 <p>
4025 If there is an active region, the emphasis of this region
4026 will be set or changed. If there is no region, only the
4027 emphasis markers will be inserted and the cursor positioned

4050 This release is about exporting agenda views, to HTML, to
4051 postscript for printing, and to a special format (CSV) for
4052 further processing in scripts.
4053 </p>
4054 </div>
4060 <ul>
4061 <li>
4062 The variable `org-agenda-remove-tags-when-in-prefix' has
4063 been renamed to `org-agenda-remove-tags'.
4065 </li>
4066 </ul></div>
4072 <ul>
4073 <li>
4074 Agenda views can be exported as plain text, as HTML, and as
4075 Postscript(R). This can simply be done from the agenda
4076 buffer with `C-x C-w' and then specifying a filename like
4077 `myagenda.html' or `myagenda.ps'. See section 8.6.4 of the
4078 manual.
4080 </li>
4081 <li>
4082 Each custom agenda view can specify a list of associated
4083 files names. The command `C-c a e' then creates all views
4084 that have associated file names and exports the views to
4085 these files. This is great for producing paper versions of
4086 your views, to take with you when you don't have your
4087 computer. The manual has an example on how to do this, and
4088 in particular on how to customize the format of the printed
4089 version. See section 8.6.4 of the manual.
4091 </li>
4092 <li>
4093 You can produce a CSV format of agenda information with an
4094 Emacs batch command. This is greate for further processing
4095 in scipts. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for this idea.
4096 See section 8.6.5 of the manual.

4099 <li>
4100 New variable `org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done'. When set,
4101 a deadline associated with a DONE item will not be shown in
4102 the agenda. This is based upon a report by Denis Bueno.

4170 <li>
4171 The option `org-format-latex-options' has changed. If you
4172 have customized it, please revert to default and then redo
4173 your customization.
4175 </li>
4176 <li>
4177 `org-CUA-compatible' no longer modifies S-RET by default,
4178 because newer versions of CUA don't use this key anymore.
4179 If you need this replacement, customize the variable
4180 `org-disputed-keys'.
4182 </li>
4183 <li>
4184 The variable `org-CUA-compatible' is obsolete, please use
4185 `org-replace-disputed-keys' instead. `org-CUA-compatible'
4186 is still an alias for this new variable, though.
4188 </li>
4189 </ul></div>
4195 <ul>
4196 <li>
4197 Better control over blank lines between trees in collapsed
4198 view. This has come up several times in the past and most
4199 recently by Scott Jaderholm. There is now a new variable
4200 `org-cycle-separator-lines' with default value 2. It says
4201 how many empty lines there need to be after the end of a
4202 subtree to get an empty line in collapsed view. So with the
4203 default, if you leave only one empty line it will disappear
4204 in collapsed view. If you leave two, one empty line will
4205 remain so that you can use double empty lines to structure
4206 the collapsed views of a file. I love it, so many thanks to
4207 Scott fro bringing this up again.
4209 <p>
4210 One property of the new setup is that you will never get
4211 more than one blank line in collapsed view. We could do
4213 collapsed view, but I think this is counter-productive.
4214 </p>
4215 <p>
4216 In Emacs 22, if you want to make full use of this, make sure
4217 that you have not set `outline-blank-line'.
4218 </p>
4219 </li>
4220 <li>
4221 When the clock is running, Org-mode will put info about it
4222 into the modeline. The info consists of the elapsed time
4223 and the heading of the clocked item. This was a proposal
4224 from Bastien who got the idea from Muse.
4226 </li>
4227 <li>
4228 C-a can behave specially in headlines when you set the
4229 variable `org-special-ctrl-a'. It will bring the cursor
4231 i.e. after the stars and the TODO keyword, if any. A second
4232 C-a will then move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
4233 If the cursor is already at the beginning of the line, C-a
4235 proposal from Leo, based on a request from Scott Jaderholm.
4237 <p>
4238 I have not turned this turned this on by default, should I?
4239 </p>
4240 </li>
4241 <li>
4242 When LaTeX fragments are processed into images, there is now
4243 more control and (hopefully) betters defaults for colors and
4244 scaling. Special values can be set for HTML export, so that
4245 these values can differ from what is used for display in an
4246 emacs buffer. The default foreground and background colors
4247 for images embedded in emacs are now taken from the default
4248 emacs face. Thanks to Xiao-Yong Jin for proposing these
4249 changes.
4251 </li>
4252 <li>
4253 There is now a much better mechanism to change some keys in
4254 org-mode if these keys clash with other modes you use. Turn
4255 this on by setting `org-replace-disputed-keys' (aliased to
4256 `org-CUA-compatible'). The list of keys to replace is now
4257 fully customizable, see the option `org-disputed-keys'.
4258 Many thanks to Meciej Katafiasz for a patch implementing
4259 this.
4261 </li>
4262 <li>
4263 Stuck project descriptions have been extended. You can now
4265 keyword or TAG marks a project as non-stuck. You also can
4266 give an arbitrary regular expression that, if it matches,
4267 indicates a non-stuck project.
4269 </li>
4270 <li>
4271 The code for emphasis like bold, italic etc has been
4272 modified - I might have broken something in the process,
4273 please let me know if you find problems.

4307 New variables to customize the header and data tags in
4308 exported HTML. These are the variables
4309 `org-export-table-header-tags' and
4310 `org-export-table-data-tags'. This follows a request from
4311 Scott Otterson.
4313 </li>
4314 <li>
4315 New option `org-format-latex-header' for customizing the
4316 header of the LaTeX file used to convert embedded LaTeX to
4317 images. Thanks to `Matthieu Lemerre' for the suggestion.
4319 </li>
4320 <li>
4321 The prefix version of `org-todo-list' works again. This
4322 means that `C-1 C-c a t' produces the list of TODO entries
4323 for the first TODO keyword. If you use different TODO setups
4324 in different agenda files, be careful: This number now
4326 that are scanned for the agenda.

4375 Further development concerning TODO keywords.
4377 <ul>
4378 <li>
4379 You can now have several DONE states in a sequence, like
4381 <p>
4382 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE DELEGATED
4383 </p>
4384 <p>
4385 The difference to the proposal discussed on the mailing
4386 list (and which is also works!)
4387 </p>
4388 <p>
4389 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO VERIFY | DONE
4390 #+SEQ_TODO: | CANCELED
4391 </p>
4392 <p>
4393 is that in the first case, the extra DONE states will be
4394 reached with `C-c C-t' (or with `t' from the agenda), while
4396 states. I guess both ideas can be useful - I am leaning
4397 toward using the latter.
4398 </p>
4399 </li>
4400 <li>
4401 Setting up TODO keywords in Lisp previously used two
4402 separate variables: `org-todo-keywords' and
4403 `org-todo-interpretation'. The preferred way is now to use
4404 only `org-todo-keywords', with a new structure:
4406 <p>
4407 (setq org-todo-keywords
4411 (sequence "CANCELED") ; for things we decide to not do.
4412 ))
4413 </p>
4414 <p>
4415 If your setting has this new structure,
4416 `org-todo-interpretation' will be ignored. This change
4417 does not break backward compatibility. The old way of
4418 using a flat list in `org-todo-keywords' and taking the
4419 interpretation from the other variable still works.
4420 </p>
4421 </li>
4422 <li>
4424 (`C-u C-c C-v') or via the agenda (`C-c a T' or `C-u C-c a
4425 t'), you can now specify several keywords to be selected,
4426 like "TODO|VERIFY|WAITING". This also works for custom
4427 agenda commands. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer for pointing
4428 out this omission.
4430 </li>
4431 </ul></li>
4432 <li>
4433 If you have configured Org-mode to export also the text
4434 before the first headline (this is done by setting the
4435 variable `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil),
4436 then the first normal text line in the buffer becomes the
4437 title of the exported document. A title set with #+TITLE
4438 overules this default, and the first line then belongs to the
4439 normal text. Thanks to David House for this proposal.
4441 </li>
4442 <li>
4443 TTY replacement keys. Some of the key bindings used by
4444 Org-mode do not work on a tty, so replacement key sequences
4445 are provided on ttys. In version 4.70, there are some
4446 changes in the tty replacements. Thanks to Jason F. McBrayer

4485 TODO keywords: Multiple sequences in a single file.

4487 <li>

4503 Bug fixes.

4506 </ul></div>
4512 <ul>
4513 <li>
4514 It used to be possible to spread the list of TODO keywords
4515 over several lines, like
4517 <p>
4518 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO
4519 #+SEQ_TODO: PROGRESS
4520 #+SEQ_TODO: DONE
4521 </p>
4522 <p>
4523 This is no longer possible. Each such line now specifies an
4524 independent set of TODO keywords, with its own DONE state.
4525 See below for details.
4526 </p>
4527 </li>
4528 <li>
4529 The #+TEXT construct has been used to insert unchanged HTML
4530 into an exported file. This is no longer possible, the TEXT
4531 lines will be processed like any other lines. However,
4532 there are now much better ways of getting quoted HTML into
4533 the exported file.
4535 </li>
4536 </ul></div>
4542 <ul>
4543 <li>
4544 You can now use multiple sets of TODO keywords in the same
4545 buffer. For example, you may put the following three lines
4546 into a file:
4548 <p>
4549 #+SEQ_TODO: TODO DONE
4550 #+SEQ_TODO: REPORT BUG KNOWNCAUSE RESOLVED
4551 #+TYP_TODO: Fred Laura Peter Me OK
4552 </p>
4553 <p>
4554 Each sub-sequence has its own DONE state. It is best to use
4555 different keywords in all sequences, to make sure Org-mode
4556 does not loose track in which specific sequence it is
4557 working. You could use the same word for all DONE states,
4558 but then cycling through to a TODO state might not bring you
4559 where you want to be.
4560 </p>
4561 <p>
4562 After initially setting a keyword, `C-c C-t' cycles through
4563 a sublist, i.e. is cycles from TODO to DONE or from
4564 KNOWNCAUSE to RESOLVED and further to (nothing) and back to
4565 REPORT.
4566 </p>
4567 <p>
4568 S-right and S-left allow to select any keyword, so they move
4569 from DONE to REPORT and from RESOLVED to Fred.
4570 </p>
4571 <p>
4572 C-S-right and C-S-left jump from one sub-sequence to the
4573 next, for example from TODO or DONE to REPORT to Fred.
4574 </p>
4575 <p>
4576 Thanks to Rick Moynihan for triggering this development.
4577 </p>
4578 </li>
4579 <li>
4580 Text before the first headline can now be exported if you
4581 configure Org-mode accordingly. Either set the variable
4582 `org-export-skip-text-before-1st-heading' to nil, or use the
4583 new in-buffer option
4585 <p>
4586 #+OPTION: skip:nil
4587 </p>
4588 </li>
4589 <li>
4590 Export content specified via the #+TEXT construct is now
4591 fully processed, i.e. links, emphasis etc. are all
4592 interpreted. #+TEXT lines may include
4593 #+BEGIN_HTML…#+END_HTML sections to embed literal HTML.
4595 </li>
4596 <li>
4598 interpreted as a subscript, but to leave a_b as it is. This
4599 can be done by setting the variable
4600 org-export-sub-superscript to the symbol `{}' with
4602 <p>
4603 (setq org-export-sub-superscript '{})
4604 </p>
4605 <p>
4606 or by using
4607 </p>
4608 <p>
4609 #+OPTIONS: ^:{}

4611 <p>
4612 Thanks to Eddward DeVilla for this idea.
4613 </p>
4614 </li>
4615 <li>
4616 New variable `org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
4617 Default is nil, meaning that empty lines are part of the
4618 previous list item, and that you can have several paragraphs
4619 in one such item. Set this to t if you want an empty line
4620 terminate all levels of plain list items.
4622 <p>
4623 Thanks to Mike Newman for triggering this development.

4627 C-c RET does insert a horizontal separator line and move the
4628 cursor into the table line below it. Thanks to Bastien for
4629 this proposal.
4631 </li>
4632 <li>
4633 Org-mode always offers you to record a note when a TODO item
4634 automatically repeats, even if you are not logging state
4635 changes. The new variable `org-log-repeat' allows to turn
4636 this off, so that notes are really only been taken if you
4637 are logging all state changes.

4843 iCalendar export of TODO items fixed, see also the variable

4848 The number of levels in the table of contents of an exported
4849 document can now be set independently of the number of headline
4850 levels. For example:
4852 <p>
4854 </p>
4855 </li>
4856 <li>
4857 The command `C-c }' toggles the display of row and column numbers
4858 the the current table, to aid constructing formulas. To try it,
4859 move the cursor to a table and press `C-c }', or use the menu
4860 entry.
4862 </li>

4864 Orgtbl translation functions (introduced in 4.65) have been
4865 simplified using a generic function `orgtbl-to-generic' that can
4866 be used for very general languanges. Writing your own translator
4867 should be very easy now. More info in the manual.

4914 You can use orgtbl mode to maintain a LaTeX table, or pretty much
4915 any table in any mode.
4917 <p>
4919 would be a box of Pandora I am not willing to open. Instead, you
4920 use a normal Orgtbl-mode table, and a converter program to
4921 automatically place a LaTeX version of the table into the correct
4922 spot in the LaTeX file. The orgtbl-mode table can be maintained
4923 inside the same file, in a block comment.
4924 </p>
4925 <p>
4926 I am providing translators for LaTeX, HTML, and TeXInfo. For
4927 other applications, you need to write one yourself - but that is
4928 not hard if you start from the LaTeX version and just modify it.
4929 Thanks to Thomas Baumann for triggering this development through
4930 a request for a table-to-LaTeX converter.
4931 </p>
4932 </li>
4933 <li>
4934 In the special buffer to edit the formulas of a table (created
4935 with "C-c '"), there is now better support for editing Lisp
4936 formulas. TAB and M-TAB work like in an Emacs Lisp buffer,
4937 indenting lines and completing lisp symbols. With the cursor on
4938 a line defining a complex Lisp formula, a first press on TAB will
4939 convert the formula into a pretty-printed version with proper
4940 linebreaks and indentation. A second TAB folds the line back to
4941 the compact form.
4943 </li>
4944 <li>
4945 Tables in HTML export have now additional structure elements
4946 defined. The header (before the first hline) is wrapped into
4950 `org-export-html-table-tag' to get cleaner tables. Basically,
4951 tables now have horizontal lines only where needed, and no
4952 vertical lines at all, as generally recommended for tables in
4953 printed text. I like the new look, but I am not sure if this
4954 change will find general approval, please throw in your view if
4955 you like. Thanks to Scott for driving this, and to goud-H for
4956 pointing me to the row grouping in tables.
4958 </li>
4959 <li>
4960 In a table with calculation markers in the first column, you can
4961 now also put "/" into the first column. It indicates that this
4962 line should not be exported. The foremost application for this
4963 are lines containing only "<N>" markers for narrowing columns.

5001 <ul>
5002 <li>
5003 The descriptive part of links to email messages can be configured
5004 using the variable `org-email-link-description-format'. The new
5005 default is "Email %c: %.30s" and leads to
5007 <p>
5008 Email from NAME: SUBJECT
5009 </p>
5010 <p>
5011 If you configure the variable `org-from-is-user-regexp'
5013 </p>
5014 <p>
5015 Email to NAME: SUBJECT
5016 </p>
5017 <p>
5018 The subject is limited to 30 characters. If you have become
5019 attached to the previous default (look twice, the new one is
5020 better), use "%f on: %s" as your format.
5021 </p>
5022 </li>
5023 <li>
5024 Selecting text before entering a new link with C-c C-l now really
5025 works, the selected text becomes the description part of the
5026 link. Requested by Scott, buggy 4.62 implementation is now fixed.
5028 </li>
5029 <li>
5030 Stored links are part of the history list for C-c C-l, so to
5031 reach them, you can use up/down rather than completion. Thanks
5032 to Raman for this excellent idea.

5035 <li>

5040 <li>

5045 You can use `org-remember' as your default command to start
5046 remember. It will automatically detect if there is an active
5047 region and use it as initial content (we will probably make
5048 remember.el work like this as well).
5049 Also, when calling `org-remember' in a remember buffer that
5050 was created with a template, you will again be asked to
5051 select a template. The buffer is then re-created with the
5052 new template, but the old context information. This is
5053 useful if you change your mind about the template to use
5054 (Leo's idea).
5056 </li>
5057 <li>
5060 become a subitem. In many cases this avoids or speeds up
5061 navigating to the right location. Both file and heading can
5062 be different for each template. Both are non-binding, you
5063 can change them while storing the note. However, when you
5064 exit remember with C-u C-c C-c, these defaults will be used
5065 without interaction.
5067 </li>
5068 <li>
5069 Templates can specify interactive fields. During expansion
5070 of the template, you will be prompted for the information in
5071 that field. For example %^t will pop up a calendar and ask
5072 you to select a date. This new feature follows a proposal
5073 from Leo, who in the mean time has said he does not need it
5074 anymore. But I liked it, so here it is :-)
5076 </li>
5077 <li>
5078 Templates can access information specific to the link type
5079 created, for example the author and subject of an email.
5080 Syntax is %:fromname, %:fromaddress, %:subject etc, details
5081 in the manual. Proposed by Peder O. Klingenberg.
5083 </li>
5084 <li>
5085 I have been considering to move, at some stage, the template
5086 functionality into remember.el itself - which would of course
5087 require consent of the remember.el maintainers. I am not
5088 sure how well this would work though, since some things like
5089 the interactive time stamps are org.el specific, so treating
5090 them would require special hooks. Comments?
