12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
14 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
15 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
17 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
18 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
19 *** Properties drawers syntax changes
20 Properties drawers are now required to be located right after
21 a headline and its planning line, when applicable.
23 It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
24 logged before the property drawer. The following function will repair
27 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
28 (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
29 "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
30 Ignore non Org buffers."
31 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
33 (goto-char (point-min))
34 (let ((case-fold-search t)
35 (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
36 (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
40 (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
42 (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
44 (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
45 (when (and (< (point) end)
46 (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
48 (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
50 (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
52 (insert (delete-and-extract-region
54 (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
55 (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
57 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
58 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
59 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
61 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
62 docstring for more information.
63 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
64 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
65 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
66 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
67 *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
68 The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
69 ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-next-visible-heading~
70 respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
71 functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
72 (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
74 *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
75 Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
76 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
77 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
78 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
79 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
80 accessible from the export dispatcher.
81 *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
82 ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
83 *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
84 The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
87 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
88 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
91 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
92 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
93 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
94 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
95 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
96 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
97 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
98 this variable locally.
99 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
100 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
101 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
102 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
103 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
104 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
105 *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
106 Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
107 would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
110 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
111 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
112 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
113 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
114 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
115 possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
117 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
118 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
119 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
120 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
122 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
123 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
124 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
125 ~org-drawers~ variable.
126 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
127 Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
128 mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
129 "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
130 configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
131 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
132 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
134 *** New option in ASCII export
135 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
136 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
137 *** New blocks in ASCII export
138 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
139 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
140 *** More back-end specific publishing options
141 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
142 increased. See manual for details.
143 *** Export inline source blocks
144 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
145 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
146 in the output, depending on the parameters.
147 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
148 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
149 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
150 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
151 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
152 more features. See docstring for details.
153 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
154 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
155 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
156 *** Improve radio tables
157 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
158 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
159 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
160 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
161 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
162 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
163 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
164 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
165 source blocks exported by the minted package.
166 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
167 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
168 would throw an error. A new variable
169 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
170 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
171 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
173 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
175 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
176 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
177 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
178 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
179 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
180 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
181 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
182 now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
183 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
184 *** Export unnumbered headlines
185 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
186 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
187 property is inherited by children.
188 *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
189 It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
190 through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
191 keys, to sort a table.
192 *** Table of contents can be local to a section
193 The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See
195 *** Countdown timers can now be paused.
196 ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
198 *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
199 When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
200 displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
202 *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
203 ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
204 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
205 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
206 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
207 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
208 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
209 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
211 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
212 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
213 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
214 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
215 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
216 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
217 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
218 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
219 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
220 particular test failure was introduced.
223 ** Incompatible changes
224 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
225 This may require two changes in user config.
227 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
228 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
229 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
231 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
233 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
234 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
235 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
237 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
238 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
240 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
244 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
246 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
248 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
249 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
250 option keywords like :html-include-style.
252 So you need to replace
254 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
258 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
260 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
261 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
263 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
265 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
266 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
267 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
269 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
270 the other optional arguments accordingly.
272 *** Export back-ends are now structures
274 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
275 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
276 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
279 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
281 ** Important bugfixes
283 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
284 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
286 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
288 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
289 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
290 separator starting a TOTO match string.
293 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
295 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
297 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
300 - Support for .pgf files
301 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
302 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
303 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
304 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
305 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
306 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
307 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
309 *** New functions for paragraph motion
311 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
312 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
313 in a paragraph-like way.
315 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
317 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
318 dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
319 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
320 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
321 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
323 *** Anonymous export back-ends
325 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
326 which can then be passed to export functions like
327 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
329 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
330 registering a new back-end.
332 *** New agenda fortnight view
334 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
335 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
338 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
340 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
341 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
343 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
344 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
345 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
347 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
348 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
350 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
351 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
352 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
353 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
354 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
357 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
359 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
361 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
363 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
365 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
367 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
369 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
371 If you set this to the following
373 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
375 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
377 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
379 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
381 ** New contributed packages
383 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
384 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
387 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
388 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
392 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
394 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
395 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
396 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
397 the same with example blocks.
399 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
406 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
408 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
411 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
412 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
413 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
415 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
416 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
417 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
418 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
419 detailed explanations.
421 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
422 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
423 function has been called already.
425 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
428 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
430 ** Incompatible changes
432 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
434 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
436 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
437 you will have to update them.
439 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
441 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
442 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
444 **** New export engine
446 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
447 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
448 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
449 /all/ export back-ends.
451 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
452 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
453 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
454 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
455 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
457 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
458 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
460 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
461 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
462 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
463 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
465 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
467 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
469 should now be written
471 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
473 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
474 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
475 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
477 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
479 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
481 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
484 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
485 remember templates into capture templates.
487 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
489 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
490 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
492 **** Note for third-party developers
494 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
495 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
496 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
498 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
501 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
503 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
504 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
505 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
507 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
508 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
509 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
512 - org-colview-xemacs.el
519 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
520 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
521 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
523 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
524 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
526 ** New packages in core
528 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
530 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
532 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
534 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
536 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
538 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
539 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
541 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
543 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
545 ** New packages in contrib
547 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
549 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
551 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
554 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
556 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
557 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
559 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
562 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
564 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
566 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
568 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
570 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
571 for starting headlines.
573 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
575 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
576 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
577 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
578 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
580 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
582 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
584 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel

594 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
596 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
597 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
600 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
601 conversion from Org files to groff.
603 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
605 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
607 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
609 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
610 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
617 **** New export generic options
619 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
620 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
622 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
624 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
625 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
626 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
627 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
629 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
630 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
631 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
632 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
633 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
634 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
635 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
636 contains time-stamps.
638 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
639 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
640 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
642 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
644 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
646 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
648 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
650 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
651 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
652 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
653 *** Structure editing
655 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
656 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
658 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
659 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
661 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
663 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
664 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
665 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
666 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
669 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
671 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
672 _words__= will preserve markup.
674 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
676 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
677 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
678 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
680 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
682 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
683 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
685 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
687 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
688 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
689 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
690 forward and backward.
692 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
693 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
695 Now Org will sort this list
697 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
698 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
702 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
703 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
705 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
706 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
707 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
709 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
710 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
711 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
713 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
716 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
718 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
719 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
720 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
722 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
724 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
725 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
726 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
727 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
729 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
731 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
732 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
733 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
734 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
735 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
737 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
739 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
740 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
741 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
743 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
744 *** Scheduled/deadline
746 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
748 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
749 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
750 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
751 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
753 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
754 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
755 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
756 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
758 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
759 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
760 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
761 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
762 control this globally or per agenda.
764 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
766 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
768 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
770 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
771 *** Calendar, diary and appts
773 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
775 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
776 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
777 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
779 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
780 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
781 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
783 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
784 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
786 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
789 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
791 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
792 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
793 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
795 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
797 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
798 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
799 only show their description, not the full links.
802 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
804 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
805 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
806 want to build a list of appointments.
808 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
809 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
811 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
813 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
815 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
816 time value (i.e. appointments).
818 **** New agenda sorting strategies
820 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
822 | Strategy | Explanations |
823 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
824 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
825 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
826 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
827 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
828 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
829 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
830 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
831 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
832 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
833 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
835 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
837 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
838 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
839 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
841 These new options are available:
843 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
844 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
845 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
846 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
848 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
849 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
850 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
852 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
853 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
854 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
855 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
856 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
857 non-tagged headlines.
859 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
861 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
862 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
863 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
864 that take only =N= minutes.
866 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
868 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
869 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
870 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
872 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
874 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
875 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
877 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
879 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
880 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
882 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
885 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
887 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
888 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
889 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
891 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
892 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
894 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
896 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
897 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
899 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
901 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
903 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
904 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
907 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
909 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
910 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
911 asks for a confirmation.
913 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
915 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
916 the mark of the entry at point.
918 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
919 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
921 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
923 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
924 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
927 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
929 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
930 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
932 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
934 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
935 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
937 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
939 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
940 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
941 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
942 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
944 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
946 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
947 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
948 repeated beyond the current deadline.
950 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
952 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
953 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
954 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
955 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
957 Read the full docstring for details.
959 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
961 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
964 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
967 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
969 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
970 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
973 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
975 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
976 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
978 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
980 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
981 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
982 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
983 check against the name of the buffer.
986 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
987 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
988 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
991 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
992 agenda views, and for filtering.
994 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
998 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
1000 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
1001 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
1002 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
1004 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
1005 as if the protocol was not known.
1007 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
1009 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
1011 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
1012 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
1013 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
1016 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
1018 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
1019 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
1020 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
1022 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
1024 When storing a link to a headline like
1026 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
1028 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
1029 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
1030 there is no description.
1033 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
1035 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
1036 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
1037 those other formulas.
1039 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
1041 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
1042 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
1043 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
1046 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
1048 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
1049 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
1050 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
1053 **** New lookup functions
1055 There are now three lookup functions:
1057 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
1058 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
1059 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
1061 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
1062 *** Startup keywords
1064 These new startup keywords are now available:
1066 | Startup keyword | Option |
1067 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1068 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
1069 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
1070 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1071 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
1072 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
1073 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1074 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
1075 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
1079 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
1081 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
1082 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
1083 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
1084 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
1086 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
1088 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
1089 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
1090 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1093 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1094 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1096 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1098 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1099 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1101 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1103 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1104 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1105 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1107 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1108 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1109 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1110 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1111 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1112 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1113 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1116 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1118 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1120 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1122 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1123 same target than the block at point.
1125 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1127 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1128 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1129 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1131 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1132 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1135 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1137 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1138 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1139 manual for a usage example.
1141 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1143 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1144 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1145 collecting blocks for tangling.
1147 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1148 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1150 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1151 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1152 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1153 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1155 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1156 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.

1188 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
1190 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1192 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1194 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1196 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1197 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1198 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1199 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1200 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1201 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1202 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1203 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1205 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
1207 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
1208 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
1210 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1212 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1213 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1214 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1218 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1220 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1221 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1224 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1225 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1226 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1227 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1228 agenda type to this variable.
1230 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1233 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1234 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1235 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1236 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1238 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1240 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1241 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1242 invisible) blocked tasks.
1244 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1246 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1247 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1249 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1251 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1252 ** No GPL manual anymore
1254 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1255 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1257 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1259 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1261 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1262 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1263 in most environments.
1267 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1269 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1271 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1272 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
1275 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
1276 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
1277 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
1280 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/

1300 ** New package and Babel language
1302 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
1304 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
1306 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
1307 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
1309 ** Incompatible changes
1311 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
1312 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
1314 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
1317 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
1318 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
1319 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
1321 ** New features and user-visible changes
1325 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
1326 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
1327 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
1328 core and many core functions rely on this package.
1330 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
1331 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
1333 See the docstrings for more details.
1335 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
1336 on =org-element.el=.
1338 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
1340 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
1341 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
1342 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
1343 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
1345 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
1347 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
1348 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
1349 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
1350 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
1352 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
1354 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
1356 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
1358 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
1361 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
1362 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
1364 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
1365 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
1366 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
1369 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
1372 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
1373 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
1374 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
1376 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
1377 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
1378 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
1383 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
1385 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
1386 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
1387 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
1388 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
1390 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
1391 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
1392 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
1393 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
1394 generating new ones.
1396 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
1399 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1401 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1402 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
1405 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1406 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
1407 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
1410 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
1411 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
1412 details on how to use this.
1414 **** Changes in bulk actions
1416 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
1417 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
1419 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
1420 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
1421 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
1422 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
1423 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
1425 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
1426 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
1428 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
1429 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
1432 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
1434 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
1436 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
1438 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
1439 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
1441 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
1443 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
1444 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
1445 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
1446 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
1449 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1451 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
1454 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
1455 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
1456 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
1457 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
1458 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
1461 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
1463 See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
1465 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
1467 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
1468 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
1469 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
1470 filters and category filters.
1472 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
1473 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
1476 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
1477 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
1478 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
1483 **** Inserting links
1485 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
1486 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
1487 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
1490 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
1491 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
1492 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
1493 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
1495 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
1498 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
1500 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
1501 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
1502 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
1503 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
1505 **** New link type =help=
1507 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
1509 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
1510 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
1511 you go back to the same buffer.
1513 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
1515 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
1516 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
1519 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
1521 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
1523 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
1525 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
1527 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
1529 **** RET now follows time stamps links
1533 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
1535 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
1536 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
1537 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
1538 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
1540 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
1542 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
1543 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
1544 all headlines in the region.
1546 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
1548 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
1550 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
1551 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
1553 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
1555 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
1557 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
1559 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
1561 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
1563 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
1564 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
1565 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
1570 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
1572 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
1574 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
1576 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
1577 clocked entry, if any.
1579 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
1581 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
1583 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
1585 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
1586 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
1589 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
1590 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
1591 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
1595 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
1597 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
1600 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
1602 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
1603 cells in clockreport.
1605 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
1606 time cells in clockreport.
1609 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
1611 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
1612 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
1614 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
1615 in the mode line and/or frame title.
1617 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
1618 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
1619 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
1620 space in the frame title.
1624 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
1626 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
1627 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
1628 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
1629 don't want to see temporarily.
1631 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
1633 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
1635 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1637 There are these new entities:
1639 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
1640 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
1641 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
1642 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
1643 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
1644 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
1646 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
1647 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
1648 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
1650 The face is back to a normal height.
1654 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
1655 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
1657 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
1658 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
1660 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
1662 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
1663 block will use its value as the column format.
1665 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
1667 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
1669 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
1671 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
1673 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
1674 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
1675 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
1676 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
1678 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
1682 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
1684 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
1686 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
1688 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
1690 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
1691 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
1692 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
1694 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
1696 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
1697 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
1698 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
1702 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
1704 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
1705 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
1706 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
1707 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
1709 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
1711 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1712 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
1715 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1716 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
1717 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
1720 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
1721 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
1722 more details on how to use this.
1724 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
1725 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
1727 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
1728 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
1731 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
1733 See the manual for more explanations.
1735 **** More control over empty lines
1737 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
1738 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
1741 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
1743 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
1747 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
1749 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
1750 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
1751 available) to print beautiful tables.
1753 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
1755 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
1756 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
1759 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
1761 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
1762 in the #+DATE option.
1764 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
1766 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
1768 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
1769 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
1771 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
1772 More languages are always welcome.
1774 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
1776 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
1777 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
1779 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
1780 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
1781 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
1782 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
1783 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
1784 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
1786 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
1787 to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
1791 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
1793 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
1796 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
1798 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
1799 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
1801 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
1803 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
1805 It used to exports the results of the code.
1809 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
1810 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
1812 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
1813 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
1815 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
1817 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
1818 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
1819 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
1821 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
1822 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
1824 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
1825 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
1826 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
1829 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
1831 This will increment the effort value.
1833 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
1835 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
1837 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
1838 attach symbolic links.
1840 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
1842 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
1844 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
1845 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
1847 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
1849 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
1851 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
1852 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
1853 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
1855 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
1857 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
1858 all top level list items.
1860 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
1862 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
1864 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
1865 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
1867 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
1869 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
1871 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
1872 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
1873 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
1874 first headline in the region.
1876 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
1878 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
1881 ** Important bug fixes
1883 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
1885 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
1886 perform completion with meaningful values.
1888 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
1890 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
1891 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
1892 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1894 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
1895 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
1897 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
1898 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
1901 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
1902 the code and the license to your needs.
1904 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
1905 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
1909 ** Incompatible changes
1911 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
1913 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
1915 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
1917 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
1918 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
1919 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
1920 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
1923 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
1925 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
1926 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
1927 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
1929 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
1931 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
1932 =org-agenda-span= instead.
1934 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
1936 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
1938 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
1939 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
1940 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
1941 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
1942 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
1944 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
1945 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
1946 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
1947 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
1948 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
1949 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
1951 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
1952 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
1953 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
1956 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
1959 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
1960 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
1961 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
1962 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
1964 The two new variables are:
1966 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
1967 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
1968 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
1969 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
1970 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
1971 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
1972 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
1974 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
1975 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
1978 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
1981 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
1982 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
1983 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
1984 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
1986 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
1987 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
1988 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
1989 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
1992 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
1993 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
1994 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
1995 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
1996 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
1997 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
2000 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
2001 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
2002 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
2003 applies to the following packages:
2021 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
2022 you are using, you can remove it from
2023 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
2024 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
2027 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
2028 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
2029 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
2030 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
2031 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
2034 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
2036 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
2037 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
2038 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
2041 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
2043 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
2045 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
2047 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
2049 ** Important new features
2051 *** New Org to ODT exporter
2053 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
2055 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
2056 for more information on how to customize it.
2058 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
2060 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
2061 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
2062 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
2063 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
2065 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
2066 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
2067 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
2069 To switch over to the new system:
2073 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
2075 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
2076 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
2077 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
2078 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
2079 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
2081 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
2083 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
2086 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
2089 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
2091 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2092 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2093 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2094 with using both system in parallel.
2098 *** New Org libraries
2099 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2101 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2103 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2105 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2107 To use, put the following in your init file:
2110 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2113 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2114 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2115 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2116 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2117 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2118 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2119 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2120 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2121 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2124 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2126 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2127 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2129 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2131 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2132 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2133 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2136 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2137 call function to do something special with text links.
2139 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2141 **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
2143 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2144 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2145 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2148 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2150 Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
2152 *** New Babel libraries
2154 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2155 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2156 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2157 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2158 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2159 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2160 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2162 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2166 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2168 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2169 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2170 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2171 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2172 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2173 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2175 The key new functions are
2177 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2178 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2179 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2181 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2182 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2184 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2185 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2187 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2188 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2190 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2192 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2193 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2194 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2196 **** Modified link escaping
2198 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2200 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2201 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2202 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2203 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2206 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2207 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2208 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2209 : percent escaped links are solved.
2211 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2213 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2215 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2216 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2218 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2220 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2222 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2223 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2224 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2225 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2226 string to be executed.
2228 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2229 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2233 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2234 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2237 Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
2241 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2243 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2244 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2245 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2246 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2248 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2249 will work on the current entry.
2251 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2252 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2254 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2256 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2258 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2261 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2262 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2267 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2269 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2270 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2271 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2273 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
2275 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
2276 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
2277 entries using a function.
2279 Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
2280 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
2281 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
2283 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
2285 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
2286 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
2287 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
2289 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
2291 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
2292 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
2293 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
2294 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
2295 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
2296 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
2298 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
2302 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
2304 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
2305 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
2307 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
2308 docstring of these variable for details about available
2311 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
2312 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
2313 formatting string will insert a string.
2315 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
2317 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
2318 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
2319 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
2320 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
2321 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
2322 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
2323 C-e u=, respectively.
2325 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
2326 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
2327 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
2328 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
2329 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
2332 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
2334 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
2335 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
2337 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
2339 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
2340 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
2342 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
2344 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
2345 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
2346 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
2347 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
2348 section]] in the manual for more details.
2350 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
2351 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
2352 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
2357 **** Refile targets can now be cached
2359 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
2360 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
2361 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
2362 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
2363 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
2365 **** New logging support for refiling
2367 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
2368 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
2371 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
2375 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
2377 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
2381 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
2383 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
2384 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
2386 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
2388 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
2389 the displayed in the buffer.
2391 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
2393 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
2395 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
2396 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
2398 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
2399 |--------+--------+---------|
2400 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
2401 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
2403 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
2406 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
2409 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
2411 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
2413 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
2414 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
2421 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
2422 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
2425 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
2427 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
2429 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
2430 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
2432 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
2436 **** Improved handling of lists
2438 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
2440 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
2441 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
2442 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
2445 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
2446 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
2447 counters like [@c] or [@W].
2449 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
2450 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
2451 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
2452 `org-list-export-context'.
2454 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
2455 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
2456 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
2458 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
2459 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
2460 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
2461 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
2462 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
2464 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
2465 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
2466 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
2468 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
2470 *** Inline display of linked images
2472 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
2473 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
2474 that have no description part will be inlined.
2476 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
2478 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
2479 from 1, you can now do it like this:
2481 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
2483 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
2485 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
2486 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
2487 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
2488 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
2489 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
2490 into account all header arguments, and variables.
2492 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
2493 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
2494 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
2497 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
2498 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
2499 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
2500 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
2501 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
2502 properties or in tables.
2504 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
2505 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
2506 names, and rownames across all languages.
2508 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
2510 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
2512 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
2513 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
2514 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
2516 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
2518 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
2519 request by Scott Otterson.
2521 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
2523 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
2524 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
2525 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
2526 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
2527 superscripts, see the variable
2528 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
2530 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
2532 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
2534 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
2535 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
2536 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
2537 following new faces:
2539 =org-document-title=
2541 =org-document-info-keyword=
2543 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
2544 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
2546 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
2548 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
2550 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
2551 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
2552 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
2553 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
2554 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
2555 property is affected by this setting.
2557 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
2558 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
2560 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
2562 Requested by Michael Brand.
2564 **** Better level cycling function
2566 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
2567 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
2568 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
2569 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
2571 **** Adaptive filling
2573 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
2574 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
2575 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
2576 comments to be filled correctly.
2578 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
2580 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
2582 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
2584 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
2586 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
2587 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
2589 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
2593 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
2595 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
2596 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
2597 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
2598 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
2600 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
2602 **** Localized clock tables
2604 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
2605 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
2606 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
2607 available translated strings.
2609 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
2611 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
2612 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
2613 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
2614 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
2616 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
2618 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
2620 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
2621 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
2622 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
2623 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
2626 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
2630 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
2632 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
2633 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
2635 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
2637 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
2639 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
2640 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
2641 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
2644 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
2647 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
2649 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
2650 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
2655 org-table-current-line
2659 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
2661 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
2662 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
2665 This was requested by Tom.
2667 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
2669 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
2670 example by viewing from the agenda.
2672 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
