34 *** Keybindings in Remember buffers can be configured
36 The remember buffers created with Org's extensions are in
37 Org-mode, which is nice to prepare snippets that will
38 actually be stored in Org-mode files. However, this makes it
39 hard to configure key bindings without modifying the Org-mode
40 keymap. There is now a minor mode active in these buffers,
41 `org-remember-mode', and its keymap org-remember-mode-map can
42 be used for key bindings. By default, this map only contains
43 the bindings for =C-c C-c= to store the note, and =C-c C-k=
44 to abort it. Use `org-remember-mode-hook' to define your own
47 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
49 'org-remember-mode-hook
51 (define-key org-remember-mode-map
52 "\C-x\C-s" 'org-remember-finalize)))
55 If you wish, you can also use this to free the =C-c C-c=
56 binding (by binding this key to nil in the minor mode map),
57 so that you can use =C-c C-c= again to set tags.
59 This modification is based on a request by Tim O'Callaghan.
61 *** Support for ido completion
63 You can now get the completion interface from /ido.el/ for
64 many of Org's internal completion commands by turning on the
65 variable =org-completion-use-ido=. =ido-mode= must also be
66 active before you can use this.
68 This change is based upon a request by Samuel Wales.
70 *** New face for date lines in agenda column view
72 When column view is active in the agenda, and when you have
73 summarizing properties, the date lines become normal column
74 lines and the separation between different days becomes
75 harder to see. If this bothers you, you can now customize
76 the face =org-agenda-column-dateline=.
78 This is based on a request by George Pearson.
80 *** Invisible targets become now anchors in headlines.
82 These anchors can be used to jump to a directly with an HTML
83 link, just like the =sec-xxx= ids. For example, the
84 following will make a http link
85 =//domain/path-to-my-file.html#dummy= work:
92 This is based on a request by Matt Lundin.
94 *** New contributed file /org-exp-blocks.el/
96 This new file implements special export behavior of
97 user-defined blocks. The currently supported blocks are
99 - comment :: Comment blocks with author-specific markup
100 - ditaa :: conversion of ASCII art into pretty png files
101 using Stathis Sideris' /ditaa.jar/ program
102 - dot :: creation of graphs in the /dot/ language
103 - R :: Sweave type exporting using the R program
105 For more details and examples, see the file commentary in
108 Kudos to Eric Schulte for this new functionality, after
109 /org-plot.el/ already his second major contribution. Thanks
110 to Stathis for this excellent program, and for allowing us to
111 bundle it with Org-mode.
113 *** New contributed file /org-eval-light.el/
115 This module gives control over execution Emacs Lisp code
116 blocks included in a file.
118 Thanks to Eric Schulte also for this file.
122 You can now configure Org to understand many links created
123 with the Emacs Planner package, so you can cut text from
124 planner pages and paste them into Org-mode files without
125 having to re-write the links. Among other things, this means
126 that the command =org-open-at-point-global= which follows
127 links not only in Org-mode, but in arbitrary files like
128 source code files etc, will work also with links created by
129 planner. The following customization es needed to make all of
132 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
133 (setq org-link-translation-function
134 'org-translate-link-from-planner)
137 I guess an inverse translator could be written and integrated
140 *** BBDB links may use regular expressions.
142 This did work all along, but only now I have documented it.
144 *** =yank-pop= works again after yanking an outline tree
146 Samuel Wales had noticed that =org-yank= did mess up this
147 functionality. Now you can use =yank-pop= again, the only
148 restriction is that the so-yanked text will not be
149 pro/demoted or folded.
151 *** Link abbreviations can use %h to insert a url-encoded target value
153 Thanks to Steve Purcell for a patch to this effect.
155 *** Improved XHTML compliance
157 Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing this.
159 *** Many bug fixes again.
164 - A region of entries can now be refiled with a single command
165 - Fine-tuning the behavior of `org-yank'
166 - Formulas for clocktables
167 - Better implementation of footnotes for HTML export
168 - More languages for HTML export.
172 *** A region of entries can now be refiled with a single command
174 With =transient-make-mode= active (=zmacs-regions= under
175 XEmacs), you can now select a region of entries and refile
176 them all with a single =C-c C-w= command.
178 Thanks to Samuel Wales for this useful proposal.
180 *** Fine-tuning the behavior of =org-yank=
182 The behavior of Org's yanking command has been further
183 fine-tuned in order to avoid some of the small annoyances
186 - Calling =org-yank= with a prefix arg will stop any special
187 treatment and directly pass through to the normal =yank=
188 command. Therefore, you can now force a normal yank with
191 - Subtrees will only be folded after a yank if doing so will
192 now swallow any non-white characters after the yanked text.
193 This is, I think a really important change to make the
194 command work more sanely.
196 *** Formulas for clocktables
198 You can now add formulas to a clock table, either by hand, or
199 with a =:formula= parameter. These formulas can be used to
200 create additional columns with further analysis of the
203 Thanks to Jurgen Defurne for triggering this addition.
205 *** Better implementation of footnotes for HTML export
207 The footnote export in 6.11 really was not good enough. Now
208 it works fine. If you have customized
209 =footnote-section-tag=, make sure that your customization is
210 matched by =footnote-section-tag-regexp=.
212 Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing this change.
214 *** More languages for HTML export.
216 More languages are supported during HTML export. This is
217 only relevant for the few special words Org inserts, like
218 "Table of Contents", or "Footnotes". Also the encoding
219 issues with this feature seem to be solved now.
221 Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing me to fix the encoding
228 - Yanking subtree with =C-y= now adjusts the tree level
229 - State changes can now be shown in the log mode in the agenda
230 - Footnote in HTML export are now collected at the end of the document
231 - HTML export now validates again as XHTML
232 - The clock can now be resumed after exiting and re-starting Emacs
233 - Clock-related data can be saved and resumed across Emacs sessions
234 - Following file links can now use C-u C-u to force use of an external app
235 - Inserting absolute files names now abbreviates links with "~"
236 - Links to attachment files
237 - Completed repeated tasks listed briefly in agenda
238 - Remove buffers created during publishing are removed
242 *** Yanking subtree with =C-y= now adjusts the tree level
243 When yanking a cut/copied subtree or a series of trees, the
244 normal yank key =C-y= now adjusts the level of the tree to
245 make it fit into the current outline position, without losing
246 its identity, and without swallowing other subtrees.
248 This uses the command =org-past-subtree=. An additional
249 change in that command has been implemented: Normally, this
250 command picks the right outline level from the surrounding
251 *visible* headlines, and uses the smaller one. So if the
252 cursor is between a level 4 and a level 3 headline, the tree
253 will be pasted as level 3. If the cursor is actually *at*
254 the beginning of a headline, the level of that headline will
255 be used. For example, lets say you have a tree like this:
261 ,(2)* Level one again
264 with (1) and (2) indicating possible cursor positions for the
265 insertion. When at (1), the tree will be pasted as level 2.
266 When at (2), it will be pasted as level 1.
268 If you do not want =C-y= to behave like this, configure the
269 variable =org-yank-adjusted-subtrees=.
271 Thanks to Samuel Wales for this idea and a partial implementation.
273 *** State changes can now be shown in the log mode in the agenda
275 If you configure the variable =org-agenda-log-mode-items=,
276 you can now request that all logged state changes be included
277 in the agenda when log mode is active. If you find this too
278 much for normal applications, you can also temporarily
279 request the inclusion of state changes by pressing =C-u l= in
282 This was a request by Hsiu-Khuern Tang.
284 You can also press `C-u C-u l' to get *only* log items in the
285 agenda, withour any timestamps/deadlines etc.
287 *** Footnote in HTML export are now collected at the end of the document
288 Previously, footnotes would be left in the document where
289 they are defined, now they are all collected and put into a
290 special =<div>= at the end of the document.
292 Thanks to Sebastian Rose for this request.
294 *** HTML export now validates again as XHTML.
296 Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing this cleanup.
298 *** The clock can now be resumed after exiting and re-starting Emacs
300 If the option =org-clock-in-resume= is t, and the first clock
301 line in an entry is unclosed, clocking into that task resumes
302 the clock from that time.
304 Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
306 *** Clock-related data can be saved and resumed across Emacs sessions
308 The data saved include the contents of =org-clock-history=,
309 and the running clock, if there is one.
311 To use this, you will need to add to your .emacs
313 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
314 (setq org-clock-persist t)
315 (setq org-clock-in-resume t)
316 (org-clock-persistence-insinuate)
319 Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
321 *** Following file links can now use C-u C-u to force use of an external app.
323 So far you could only bypass your setup in `org-file-apps'
324 and force opening a file link in Emacs by using a =C-u= prefix arg
325 with =C-c C-o=. Now you can call =C-u C-u C-c C-o= to force
326 an external application. Which external application depends
327 on your system. On Mac OS X and Windows, =open= is used. On
328 a GNU/Linux system, the mailcap settings are used.
330 This was a proposal by Samuel Wales.
332 *** Inserting absolute files names now abbreviates links with "~".
334 Inserting file links with =C-u C-c C-l= was buggy if the
335 setting of `org-link-file-path-type' was `adaptive' (the
336 default). Absolute file paths were not abbreviated relative
337 to the users home directory. This bug has been fixed.
339 Thanks to Matt Lundin for the report.
341 *** Links to attachment files
343 Even though one of the purposes of entry attachments was to
344 reduce the number of links in an entry, one might still want
345 to have the occasional link to one of those files. You can
346 now use link abbreviations to set up a special link type that
347 points to attachments in the current entry. Note that such
348 links will only work from within the same entry that has the
349 attachment, because the directory path is entry specific.
350 Here is the setup you need:
352 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
353 (setq org-link-abbrev-alist '(("att" . org-attach-expand-link)))
356 After this, a link like this will work
358 : [[att:some-attached-file.txt]]
360 This was a proposal by Lindsay Todd.
362 *** Completed repeated tasks listed briefly in agenda
364 When a repeating task, listed in the daily/weekly agenda under
365 today's date, is completed from the agenda, it is listed as
366 DONE in the agenda until the next update happens. After the
367 next update, the task will have disappeared, of course,
368 because the new date is no longer today.
370 *** Remove buffers created during publishing are removed
372 Buffers that are created during publishing are now deleted
373 when the publishing is over. At least I hope it works like this.
379 - Secondary agenda filtering is becoming a killer feature
380 - Setting tags has now its own binding, =C-c C-q=
381 - Todo state changes can trigger tag changes
382 - C-RET will now always insert a new headline, never an item.
383 - Customize org-mouse.el feature set to free up mouse events
384 - New commands for export all the way to PDF (through LaTeX)
385 - Some bug fixed for LaTeX export, more bugs remain.
389 *** Enhancements to secondary agenda filtering
391 This is, I believe, becoming a killer feature. It allows you
392 to define fewer and more general custom agenda commands, and
393 then to do the final narrowing to specific tasks you are
394 looking for very quickly, much faster than calling a new
397 If you have not tries this yet, you should!
399 **** You can now refining the current filter by an additional criterion
400 When filtering an existing agenda view with =/=, you can
401 now narrow down the existing selection by an additional
402 condition. Do do this, use =\= instead of =/= to add the
403 additional criterion. You can also press =+= or =-= after
404 =/= to add a positive or negative condition. A condition
405 can be a TAG, or an effort estimate limit, see below.
407 **** It is now possible to filter for effort estimates
408 This means to filter the agenda for the value of the Effort
409 property. For this you should best set up global allowed
410 values for effort estimates, with
412 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
413 (setq org-global-properties
414 '(("Effort_ALL" . "0 0:10 0:30 1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00")))
417 You may then select effort limits with single keys in the
418 filter. It works like this: After =/= or =\=, first select
419 the operator which you want to use to compare effort
422 : < Select entries with effort smaller than or equal to the limit
423 : > Select entries with effort larger than or equal to the limit
424 : = Select entries with effort equal to the limit
426 After that, you can press a single digit number which is
427 used as an index to the allowed effort estimates.
429 If you do not use digits to fast-select tags, you can even
430 skip the operator, which will then default to
431 `org-agenda-filter-effort-default-operator', which is by
434 Thanks to Manish for the great idea to include fast effort
435 filtering into the agenda filtering process.
437 **** The mode line will show the active filter
438 For example, if there is a filter in place that does select
439 for HOME tags, against EMAIL tags, and for tasks with an
440 estimated effort smaller than 30 minutes, the mode-line with
441 show =+HOME-EMAIL+<0:30=
443 **** The filter now persists when the agenda view is refreshed
444 All normal refresh commands, including those that move the
445 weekly agenda from one week to the next, now keep the
446 current filter in place.
448 You need to press =/ /= to turn off the filter. However,
449 when you run a new agenda command, for example going from
450 the weekly agenda to the TODO list, the filter will be
453 *** Setting tags has now its own binding, =C-c C-q=
455 You can still use =C-c C-c= on a headline, but the new
456 binding should be considered as the main binding for this
457 command. The reasons for this change are:
459 - Using =C-c C-c= for tags is really out of line with other
462 - I hate it in Remember buffers when I try to set tags and I
463 cannot, because =C-c C-c= exits the buffer :-(
465 - =C-c C-q= will also work when the cursor is somewhere down
466 in the entry, it does not have to be on the headline.
468 *** Todo state changes can trigger tag changes
470 The new option =org-todo-state-tags-triggers= can be used to
471 define automatic changes to tags when a TODO state changes.
472 For example, the setting
474 : (setq org-todo-state-tags-triggers
475 : '((done ("Today" . nil) ("NEXT" . nil))
476 : ("WAITING" ("Today" . t))))
478 will make sure that any change to any of the DONE states will
479 remove tags "Today" and "NEXT", while switching to the
480 "WAITING" state will trigger the tag "Today" to be added.
482 I use this mostly to get rid of TODAY and NEXT tags which I
483 apply to select an entry for execution in the near future,
484 which I often prefer to specific time scheduling.
486 *** C-RET will now always insert a new headline, never an item.
487 The new headline is inserted after the current subtree.
489 Thanks to Peter Jones for patches to fine-tune this behavior.
491 *** Customize org-mouse.el feature set
492 There is a new variable =org-mouse-features= which gives you
493 some control about what features of org-mouse you want to
494 use. Turning off some of the feature will free up the
495 corresponding mouse events, or will avoid activating special
496 regions for mouse clicks. By default I have urned off the
497 feature to use drag mouse events to move or promote/demote
498 entries. You can of course turn them back on if you wish.
500 This variable may still change in the future, allowing more
501 fine-grained control.
503 *** New commands for export to PDF
505 This is using LaTeX export, and then processes it to PDF
508 : C-c C-e p process to PDF.
509 : C-c C-e d process to PDF, and open the file.
512 - \usepackage{graphicx} is now part of the standard class
514 - Several bugs fixed, but definitely not all of them :-(
516 *** New option `org-log-state-notes-insert-after-drawers'
518 Set this to =t= if you want state change notes to be inserted
519 after any initial drawers, i.e drawers the immediately follow
520 the headline and the planning line (the one with
521 DEADLINE/SCHEDULED/CLOSED information).
525 *** =org-file-apps= now uses regular expressions, see [[*%20org%20file%20apps%20now%20uses%20regular%20repressions%20instead%20of%20extensions][below]]
529 *** =org-file-apps= now uses regular repressions instead of extensions
530 Just like in =auto-mode-alist=, car's in the variable
531 =org-file-apps= that are strings are now interpreted as
532 regular expressions that are matched against a file name. So
533 instead of "txt", you should now write "\\.txt\\'" to make
534 sure the matching is done correctly (even though "txt" will
535 be recognized and still be interpreted as an extension).
537 There is now a shortcut to get many file types visited by
538 Emacs. If org-file-apps contains `(auto-mode . emacs)', then
539 any files that are matched by `auto-mode-alist' will be
542 *** Changes to the attachment system
544 - The default method to attach a file is now to copy it
545 instead of moving it.
546 - You can modify the default method using the variable
547 `org-attach-method'. I believe that most Unix people want
548 to set it to `ln' to create hard links.
549 - The keys =c=, =m=, and =l= specifically select =copy=,
550 =move=, or =link=, respectively, as the attachment method
551 for a file, overruling `org-attach-method'.
552 - To create a new attachment as an Emacs buffer, you have not
553 now use =n= instead of =c=.
554 - The file list is now always retrieved from the directory
555 itself, not from the "Attachments" property. We still
556 keep this property by default, but you can turn it off, by
557 customizing the variable =org-attach-file-list-property=.
561 ** Incompatible changes
563 - Changes in the structure of IDs, see [[*The%20default%20structure%20of%20IDs%20has%20changed][here]] for details.
565 - C-c C-a has been redefined, see [[*%20C%20c%20C%20a%20no%20longer%20calls%20show%20all][here]] for details.
569 *** The default structure of IDs has changed
571 IDs created by Org have changed a bit:
572 - By default, there is no prefix on the ID. There used to be
573 an "Org" prefix, but I now think this is not necessary.
574 - IDs use only lower-case letters, no upper-case letters
575 anymore. The reason for this is that IDs are now also used
576 as directory names for org-attach, and some systems do not
577 distinguish upper and lower case in the file system.
578 - The ID string derived from the current time is now
579 /reversed/ to become an ID. This assures that the first
580 two letters of the ID change fast, so hat it makes sense to
581 split them off to create subdirectories to balance load.
582 - You can now set the `org-id-method' to `uuidgen' on systems
585 *** =C-c C-a= no longer calls `show-all'
587 The reason for this is that =C-c C-a= is now used for the
588 attachment system. On the rare occasions that this command
589 is needed, use =M-x show-all=, or =C-u C-u C-u TAB=.
591 *** New attachment system
593 You can now attach files to each node in the outline tree.
594 This works by creating special directories based on the ID of
595 an entry, and storing files in these directories. Org can
596 keep track of changes to the attachments by automatically
597 committing changes to git. See the manual for more
600 Thanks to John Wiegley who contributed this fantastic new
601 concept and wrote org-attach.el to implement it.
603 *** New remember template escapes
605 : %^{prop}p to insert a property
606 : %k the heading of the item currently being clocked
607 : %K a link to the heading of the item currently being clocked
609 Also, when you exit remember with =C-2 C-c C-c=, the item
610 will be filed as a child of the item currently being
611 clocked. So the idea is, if you are working on something and
612 think of a new task related to this or a new note to be
613 added, you can use this to quickly add information to that
616 Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
618 *** Clicking with mouse-2 on clock info in mode-line visits the clock.
620 Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
622 *** New file in contrib: lisp/org-checklist.el
624 This module deals with repeated tasks that have checkbox
627 Thanks to James TD Smith for this contribution.
629 *** New in-buffer setting #+STYLE
631 It can be used to locally set the variable
632 `org-export-html-style-extra'. Several such lines are
633 allowed-, they will all be concatenated. For an example on
634 how to use it, see the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-publish-html-tutorial.php][publishing tutorial]].
640 - Filtering existing agenda views with respect to a tag
641 - Editing fixed-width regions with picture or artist mode
642 - /org-plot.el/ is now part of Org
643 - Tags can be used to select the export part of a document
644 - Prefix interpretation when storing remember notes
645 - Yanking inserts folded subtrees
646 - Column view capture tables can have formulas, plotting info
647 - In column view, date stamps can be changed with S-cursor keys
648 - The note buffer for clocking out now mentions the task
649 - Sorting entries alphabetically ignores TODO keyword and priority
650 - Agenda views can sort entries by TODO state
651 - New face =org-scheduled= for entries scheduled in the future.
652 - Remember templates for gnus links can use the :to escape.
653 - The file specification in a remember template may be a function
654 - Categories in iCalendar export include local tags
655 - It is possible to define filters for column view
656 - Disabling integer increment during table Field copy
657 - Capturing column view is on `C-c C-x i'
658 - And tons of bugs fixed.
661 ** Incompatible changes
663 *** Prefix interpretation when storing remember notes has changed
665 The prefix argument to the `C-c C-c' command that finishes a
666 remember process is now interpreted differently:
668 : C-c C-c Store the note to predefined file and headline
669 : C-u C-c C-c Like C-c C-c, but immediately visit the note
670 : in its new location.
671 : C-1 C-c C-c Select the storage location interactively
672 : C-0 C-c C-c Re-use the last used location
674 This was requested by John Wiegley.
676 *** Capturing column view is now on `C-c C-x i'
678 The reason for this change was that `C-c C-x r' is also used
679 as a tty key replacement.
681 *** Categories in iCalendar export now include local tags
683 The locally defined tags are now listed as categories when
684 exporting to iCalendar format. Org's traditional file/tree
685 category is now the last category in this list. Configure
686 the variable =org-icalendar-categories= to modify or revert
689 This was a request by Charles Philip Chan.
693 *** Secondary filtering of agenda views.
695 You can now easily and interactively filter an existing
696 agenda view with respect to a tag. This command is executed
697 with the =/= key in the agenda. You will be prompted for a
698 tag selection key, and all entries that do not contain or
699 inherit the corresponding tag will be hidden. With a prefix
700 argument, the opposite filter is applied: entries that
701 do have the tag will be hidden.
703 This operation only /hides/ lines in the agenda buffer, it
704 does not remove them. Changing the secondary filtering does
705 not require a new search and is very fast.
707 If you press TAB at the tag selection prompt, you will be
708 switched to a completion interface to select a tag. This is
709 useful when you want to select a tag that does not have a
710 direct access character.
712 A double =/ /= will restore the original agenda view by
713 unhiding any hidden lines.
715 This functionality was John Wiegley's idea. It is a simpler
716 implementation of some of the query-editing features proposed
717 and implemented some time ago by Christopher League (see the
718 file contrib/lisp/org-interactive-query.el).
720 *** Editing fixed-width regions with picture or artist mode
722 The command @<code>C-c '@</code> (that is =C-c= followed by a
723 single quote) can now also be used to switch to a special
724 editing mode for fixed-width sections. The default mode is
725 =artist-mode= which allows you to create ASCII drawings.
727 It works like this: Enter the editing mode with
728 @<code>C-c '@</code>. An indirect buffer will be created and
729 narrowed to the fixed-width region. Edit the drawing, and
730 press @<code>C-c '@</code> again to exit.
732 Lines in a fixed-width region should be preceded by a colon
733 followed by at least one space. These will be removed during
734 editing, and then added back when you exit the editing mode.
736 Using the command in an empty line will create a new
739 This new feature arose from a discussion involving Scott
740 Otterson, Sebastian Rose and Will Henney.
742 *** /org-plot.el/ is now part of Org.
744 You can run it by simple calling org-plot/gnuplot.
745 Documentation is not yet included with Org, please refer to
746 http://github.com/eschulte/org-plot/tree/master until we have
747 moved the docs into Org or Worg.
749 Thanks to Eric Schulte for this great contribution.
751 *** Tags can be used to select the export part of a document
753 You may now use tags to select parts of a document for
754 inclusion into the export, and to exclude other parts. This
755 behavior is governed by two new variables:
756 =org-export-select-tags= and =org-export-exclude-tags=.
757 These default to =("export")= and =("noexport")=, but can be
758 changed, even to include a list of several tags.
760 Org first checks if any of the /select/ tags is present in
761 the buffer. If yes, all trees that do not carry one of these
762 tags will be excluded. If a selected tree is a subtree, the
763 heading hierarchy above it will also be selected for export,
764 but not the text below those headings. If none of the select
765 tags is found anywhere in the buffer, the whole buffer will
766 be selected for export. Finally, all subtrees that are
767 marked by any of the /exclude/ tags will be removed from the
770 You may set these tags with in-buffer options
771 =EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS= and =EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS=.
773 I love this feature. Thanks to Richard G Riley for coming
776 *** Prefix interpretation when storing remember notes
778 The prefix argument to the `C-c C-c' command that finishes a
779 remember process is now interpreted differently:
781 : C-c C-c Store the note to predefined file and headline
782 : C-u C-c C-c Like C-c C-c, but immediately visit the note
783 : in its new location.
784 : C-1 C-c C-c Select the storage location interactively
785 : C-0 C-c C-c Re-use the last used location
787 This was requested by John Wiegley.
789 *** Yanking inserts folded subtrees
791 If the kill is a subtree or a sequence of subtrees, yanking
792 them with =C-y= will leave all the subtrees in a folded
793 state. This basically means, that kill and yank are now
794 much more useful in moving stuff around in your outline. If
795 you do not like this, customize the variable
796 =org-yank-folded-subtrees=.
798 Right now, I am only binding =C-y= to this new function,
799 should I modify all bindings of yank? Do we need to amend
802 This feature was requested by John Wiegley.
804 *** Column view capture tables can have formulas, plotting info
806 If you attach formulas and plotting instructions to a table
807 capturing column view, these extra lines will now survive an
808 update of the column view capture, and any formulas will be
809 re-applied to the captured table. This works by keeping any
810 continuous block of comments before and after the actual
813 *** In column view, date stamps can be changed with S-cursor keys
815 If a property value is a time stamp, S-left and S-right can
816 now be used to shift this date around while in column view.
818 This was a request by Chris Randle.
820 *** The note buffer for clocking out now mentions the task
822 This was a request by Peter Frings.
824 *** Sorting entries alphabetically ignores TODO keyword and priority
826 Numerical and alphanumerical sorting now skips any TODO
827 keyword or priority cookie when constructing the comparison
828 string. This was a request by Wanrong Lin.
830 *** Agenda views can sort entries by TODO state
832 You can now define a sorting strategy for agenda entries that
833 does look at the TODO state of the entries. Sorting by TODO
834 entry does first separate the non-done from the done states.
835 Within each class, the entries are sorted not alphabetically,
836 but in definition order. So if you have a sequence of TODO
837 entries defined, the entries will be sorted according to the
838 position of the keyword in this sequence.
840 This follows an idea and sample implementation by Christian
843 *** New face =org-scheduled= for entries scheduled in the future.
845 This was a request by Richard G Riley.
847 *** Remember templates for gnus links can now use the :to escape.
849 Thanks to Tommy Lindgren for a patch to this effect.
850 *** The file specification in a remember template may now be a function
852 Thanks to Gregory Sullivan for a patch to this effect.
854 *** Categories in iCalendar export now include local tags
856 The locally defined tags are now listed as categories when
857 exporting to iCalendar format. Org's traditional file/tree
858 category is now the last category in this list. Configure
859 the variable =org-icalendar-categories= to modify or revert
862 This was a request by Charles Philip Chan.
864 *** It is now possible to define filters for column view
866 The filter can modify the value that will be displayed in a
867 column, for example it can cut out a part of a time stamp.
868 For more information, look at the variable
869 =org-columns-modify-value-for-display-function=.
871 *** Disabling integer increment during table field copy
873 Prefix arg 0 to S-RET does the trick.
875 This was a request by Chris Randle.
