12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
14 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
15 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
17 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
18 docstring for more information.
19 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
20 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
21 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
22 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
24 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
25 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
26 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
27 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
28 accessible from the export dispatcher.
30 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
31 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
34 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
35 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
36 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
37 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
38 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
39 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
40 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
41 this variable locally.
42 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
43 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
44 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
45 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
46 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
47 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
49 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
50 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
51 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
52 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
53 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
54 possible to include only the contents of the object.
55 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
56 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
57 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
58 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
60 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
61 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
62 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
63 ~org-drawers~ variable.
64 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
65 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
67 *** New option in ASCII export
68 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
69 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
70 *** New blocks in ASCII export
71 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
72 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
73 *** More back-end specific publishing options
74 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
75 increased. See manual for details.
76 *** Export inline source blocks
77 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
78 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
79 in the output, depending on the parameters.
80 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
81 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
82 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
83 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
84 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
85 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
86 *** Improve radio tables
87 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
88 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
89 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
90 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
91 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
92 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
93 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
94 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
95 source blocks exported by the minted package.
96 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
97 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
98 would throw an error. A new variable
99 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
100 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
101 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
103 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars.
104 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
105 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
106 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
107 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
108 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
109 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
110 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
111 now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
112 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
113 *** Export unnumbered headlines
114 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
115 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
116 property is inherited by children.
118 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
119 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
120 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
121 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
122 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
123 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
125 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
126 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
127 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
128 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
129 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
130 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
131 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
132 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
133 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
134 particular test failure was introduced.
137 ** Incompatible changes
138 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
139 This may require two changes in user config.
141 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
142 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
143 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
145 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
147 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
148 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
149 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
151 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
152 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
154 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
158 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
160 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
162 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
163 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
164 option keywords like :html-include-style.
166 So you need to replace
168 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
172 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
174 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
175 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
177 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
179 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
180 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
181 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
183 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
184 the other optional arguments accordingly.
186 *** Export back-ends are now structures
188 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
189 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
190 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
193 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
195 ** Important bugfixes
197 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
198 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
200 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
202 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
203 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
204 separator starting a TOTO match string.
207 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
209 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
211 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
214 - Support for .pgf files
215 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
216 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
217 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
218 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
219 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
220 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
221 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
223 *** New functions for paragraph motion
225 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
226 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
227 in a paragraph-like way.
229 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
231 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
232 dalet, cdots, S (ยง), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
233 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
234 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
235 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
237 *** Anonymous export back-ends
239 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
240 which can then be passed to export functions like
241 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
243 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
244 registering a new back-end.
246 *** New agenda fortnight view
248 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
249 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
252 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
254 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
255 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
257 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
258 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
259 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
261 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
262 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
264 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
265 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
266 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
267 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
268 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
271 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
273 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
275 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
277 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
279 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
281 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
283 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
285 If you set this to the following
287 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
289 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
291 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
293 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
295 ** New contributed packages
297 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
298 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
301 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
302 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
306 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
308 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
309 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
310 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
311 the same with example blocks.
313 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
320 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
322 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
325 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
326 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
327 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
329 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
330 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
331 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
332 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
333 detailed explanations.
335 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
336 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
337 function has been called already.
339 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
342 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
344 ** Incompatible changes
346 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
348 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
350 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
351 you will have to update them.
353 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
355 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
356 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
358 **** New export engine
360 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
361 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
362 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
363 /all/ export back-ends.
365 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
366 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
367 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
368 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
369 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
371 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
372 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
374 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
375 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
376 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
377 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
379 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
381 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
383 should now be written
385 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
387 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
388 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
389 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
391 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
393 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
395 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
398 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
399 remember templates into capture templates.
401 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
403 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
404 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
406 **** Note for third-party developers
408 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
409 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
410 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
412 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
415 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
417 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
418 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
419 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
421 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
422 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
423 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
426 - org-colview-xemacs.el
433 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
434 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
435 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
437 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
438 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
440 ** New packages in core
442 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
444 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
446 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
448 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
450 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
452 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
453 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
455 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
457 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
459 ** New packages in contrib
461 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
463 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
465 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
468 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
470 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
471 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
473 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
476 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
478 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
480 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
482 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
484 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
485 for starting headlines.
487 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
489 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
490 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
491 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
492 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
494 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sรฉbastien Delafond
496 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
498 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
500 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
501 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
504 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
505 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
508 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
510 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
511 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
514 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
515 conversion from Org files to groff.
517 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
519 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
521 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
523 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
524 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
531 **** New export generic options
533 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
534 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
536 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
538 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
539 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
540 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
541 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
543 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
544 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
545 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
546 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
547 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
548 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
549 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
550 contains time-stamps.
552 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
553 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
554 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
556 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
558 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
560 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
562 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
564 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
565 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
566 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
567 *** Structure editing
569 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
570 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
572 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
573 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
575 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
577 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
578 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
579 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
580 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
583 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
585 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
586 _words__= will preserve markup.
588 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
590 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
591 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
592 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
594 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
596 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
597 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
599 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
601 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
602 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
603 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
604 forward and backward.
606 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
607 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
609 Now Org will sort this list
611 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
612 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
616 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
617 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
619 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
620 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
621 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
623 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
624 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
625 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
627 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
630 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
632 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
633 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
634 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
636 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
638 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
639 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
640 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
641 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
643 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
645 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
646 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
647 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
648 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
649 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
651 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
653 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
654 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
655 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
657 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
658 *** Scheduled/deadline
660 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
662 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
663 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
664 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
665 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
667 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
668 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
669 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
670 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
672 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
673 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
674 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
675 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
676 control this globally or per agenda.
678 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
680 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
682 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
684 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
685 *** Calendar, diary and appts
687 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
689 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
690 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
691 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
693 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
694 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
695 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
697 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
698 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
700 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
703 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
705 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
706 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
707 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
709 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
711 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
712 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
713 only show their description, not the full links.
716 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
718 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
719 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
720 want to build a list of appointments.
722 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
723 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
725 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
727 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
729 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
730 time value (i.e. appointments).
732 **** New agenda sorting strategies
734 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
736 | Strategy | Explanations |
737 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
738 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
739 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
740 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
741 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
742 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
743 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
744 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
745 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
746 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
747 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
749 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
751 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
752 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
753 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
755 These new options are available:
757 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
758 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
759 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
760 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
762 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
763 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
764 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
766 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
767 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
768 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
769 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
770 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
771 non-tagged headlines.
773 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
775 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
776 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
777 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
778 that take only =N= minutes.
780 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
782 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
783 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
784 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
786 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
788 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
789 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
791 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
793 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
794 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
796 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
799 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
801 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
802 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
803 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
805 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
806 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
808 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
810 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
811 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
813 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
815 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
817 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
818 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
821 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
823 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
824 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
825 asks for a confirmation.
827 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
829 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
830 the mark of the entry at point.
832 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
833 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
835 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
837 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
838 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
841 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
843 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
844 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
846 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
848 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
849 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
851 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
853 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
854 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
855 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
856 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
858 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
860 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
861 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
862 repeated beyond the current deadline.
864 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
866 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
867 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
868 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
869 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
871 Read the full docstring for details.
873 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
875 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
878 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
881 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
883 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
884 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
887 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
889 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
890 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
892 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
894 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
895 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
896 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
897 check against the name of the buffer.
900 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
901 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
902 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
905 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
906 agenda views, and for filtering.
908 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
912 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
914 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
915 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
916 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
918 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
919 as if the protocol was not known.
921 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
923 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
925 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
926 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
927 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
930 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
932 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
933 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
934 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
936 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
938 When storing a link to a headline like
940 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
942 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
943 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
944 there is no description.
947 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
949 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
950 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
951 those other formulas.
953 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
955 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
956 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
957 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
960 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
962 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
963 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
964 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
967 **** New lookup functions
969 There are now three lookup functions:
971 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
972 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
973 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
975 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
978 These new startup keywords are now available:
980 | Startup keyword | Option |
981 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
982 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
983 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
984 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
985 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
986 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
987 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
988 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
989 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
993 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
995 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
996 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
997 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
998 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
1000 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
1002 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
1003 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
1004 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1007 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1008 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1010 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1012 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1013 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1015 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1017 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1018 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1019 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1021 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1022 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1023 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1024 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1025 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1026 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1027 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1030 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1032 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1034 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1036 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1037 same target than the block at point.
1039 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1041 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1042 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1043 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1045 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1046 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1049 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1051 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1052 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1053 manual for a usage example.
1055 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1057 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1058 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1059 collecting blocks for tangling.
1061 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1062 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1064 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1065 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1066 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1067 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1069 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1070 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
1073 - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
1074 - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords

1088 - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
1089 - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
1090 - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
1091 - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
1092 - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links

1102 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menรฉndez
1104 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1106 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1108 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1110 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by Franรงois Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1111 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1112 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1113 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1114 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1115 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1116 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1117 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1119 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
1121 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
1122 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
1124 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1126 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1127 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1128 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1132 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1134 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1135 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1138 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1139 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1140 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1141 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1142 agenda type to this variable.
1144 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1147 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1148 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1149 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1150 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1152 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1154 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1155 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1156 invisible) blocked tasks.
1158 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1160 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1161 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1163 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1165 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1166 ** No GPL manual anymore
1168 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1169 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1171 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1173 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1175 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1176 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1177 in most environments.
1181 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1183 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1185 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1186 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
1189 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
1190 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
1191 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
1194 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
1196 ** Overview of the new keybindings
1198 | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
1199 |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|
1200 | =C-c C-x C-z= | | [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]] |

1214 ** New package and Babel language
1216 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
1218 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
1220 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
1221 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
1223 ** Incompatible changes
1225 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
1226 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
1228 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
1231 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
1232 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
1233 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
1235 ** New features and user-visible changes
1239 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
1240 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
1241 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
1242 core and many core functions rely on this package.
1244 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
1245 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
1247 See the docstrings for more details.
1249 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
1250 on =org-element.el=.
1252 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
1254 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
1255 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
1256 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
1257 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
1259 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
1261 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
1262 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
1263 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
1264 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
1266 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
1268 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
1270 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
1272 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
1275 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
1276 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
1278 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
1279 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
1280 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
1283 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
1286 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
1287 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
1288 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
1290 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
1291 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
1292 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
1297 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
1299 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
1300 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
1301 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
1302 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
1304 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
1305 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
1306 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
1307 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
1308 generating new ones.
1310 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
1313 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1315 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1316 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
1319 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1320 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
1321 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
1324 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
1325 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
1326 details on how to use this.
1328 **** Changes in bulk actions
1330 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
1331 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
1333 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
1334 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
1335 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
1336 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
1337 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
1339 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
1340 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
1342 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
1343 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
1346 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
1348 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
1350 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
1352 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
1353 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
1355 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
1357 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
1358 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
1359 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
1360 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
1363 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1365 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
1368 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
1369 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
1370 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
1371 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
1372 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
1375 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
1377 See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
1379 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
1381 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
1382 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
1383 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
1384 filters and category filters.
1386 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
1387 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
1390 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
1391 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
1392 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
1397 **** Inserting links
1399 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
1400 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
1401 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
1404 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
1405 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
1406 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
1407 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
1409 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
1412 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
1414 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
1415 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
1416 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
1417 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
1419 **** New link type =help=
1421 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
1423 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
1424 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
1425 you go back to the same buffer.
1427 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
1429 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
1430 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
1433 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
1435 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
1437 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
1439 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
1441 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
1443 **** RET now follows time stamps links
1447 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
1449 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
1450 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
1451 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
1452 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
1454 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
1456 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
1457 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
1458 all headlines in the region.
1460 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
1462 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
1464 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
1465 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
1467 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
1469 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
1471 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
1473 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
1475 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
1477 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
1478 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
1479 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
1484 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
1486 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
1488 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
1490 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
1491 clocked entry, if any.
1493 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
1495 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
1497 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
1499 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
1500 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
1503 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
1504 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
1505 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
1509 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
1511 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
1514 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
1516 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
1517 cells in clockreport.
1519 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
1520 time cells in clockreport.
1523 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
1525 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
1526 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
1528 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
1529 in the mode line and/or frame title.
1531 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
1532 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
1533 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
1534 space in the frame title.
1538 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
1540 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
1541 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
1542 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
1543 don't want to see temporarily.
1545 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
1547 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
1549 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1551 There are these new entities:
1553 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
1554 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
1555 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
1556 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
1557 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
1558 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
1560 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
1561 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
1562 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
1564 The face is back to a normal height.
1568 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
1569 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
1571 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
1572 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
1574 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
1576 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
1577 block will use its value as the column format.
1579 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
1581 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
1583 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
1585 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
1587 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
1588 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
1589 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
1590 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
1592 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
1596 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
1598 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
1600 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
1602 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
1604 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
1605 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
1606 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
1608 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
1610 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
1611 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
1612 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
1616 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
1618 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
1619 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
1620 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
1621 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
1623 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
1625 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1626 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
1629 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1630 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
1631 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
1634 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
1635 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
1636 more details on how to use this.
1638 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
1639 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
1641 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
1642 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
1645 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
1647 See the manual for more explanations.
1649 **** More control over empty lines
1651 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
1652 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
1655 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
1657 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
1661 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
1663 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
1664 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
1665 available) to print beautiful tables.
1667 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
1669 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
1670 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
1673 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
1675 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
1676 in the #+DATE option.
1678 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
1680 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
1682 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
1683 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
1685 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
1686 More languages are always welcome.
1688 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
1690 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
1691 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
1693 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
1694 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
1695 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
1696 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
1697 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
1698 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
1700 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
1701 to Sรฉbastien Vauban for this patch.
1705 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
1707 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
1710 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
1712 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
1713 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
1715 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
1717 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
1719 It used to exports the results of the code.
1723 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
1724 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
1726 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
1727 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
1729 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
1731 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
1732 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
1733 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
1735 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
1736 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
1738 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
1739 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
1740 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
1743 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
1745 This will increment the effort value.
1747 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
1749 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
1751 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
1752 attach symbolic links.
1754 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
1756 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
1758 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
1759 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
1761 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
1763 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
1765 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
1766 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
1767 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
1769 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
1771 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
1772 all top level list items.
1774 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
1776 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
1778 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
1779 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
1781 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
1783 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
1785 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
1786 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
1787 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
1788 first headline in the region.
1790 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
1792 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
1795 ** Important bug fixes
1797 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
1799 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
1800 perform completion with meaningful values.
1802 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
1804 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
1805 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
1806 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1808 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
1809 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
1811 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
1812 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
1815 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
1816 the code and the license to your needs.
1818 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
1819 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
1823 ** Incompatible changes
1825 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
1827 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
1829 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
1831 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
1832 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
1833 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
1834 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
1837 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
1839 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
1840 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
1841 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
1843 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
1845 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
1846 =org-agenda-span= instead.
1848 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
1850 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
1852 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
1853 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
1854 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
1855 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
1856 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
1858 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
1859 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
1860 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
1861 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
1862 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
1863 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
1865 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
1866 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
1867 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
1870 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
1873 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
1874 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
1875 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
1876 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
1878 The two new variables are:
1880 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
1881 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
1882 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
1883 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
1884 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
1885 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
1886 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
1888 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
1889 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
1892 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
1895 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
1896 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
1897 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
1898 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
1900 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
1901 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
1902 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
1903 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
1906 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
1907 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
1908 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
1909 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
1910 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
1911 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
1914 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
1915 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
1916 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
1917 applies to the following packages:
1935 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
1936 you are using, you can remove it from
1937 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
1938 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
1941 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
1942 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
1943 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
1944 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
1945 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
1948 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
1950 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
1951 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
1952 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
1955 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
1957 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
1959 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
1961 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
1963 ** Important new features
1965 *** New Org to ODT exporter
1967 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
1969 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
1970 for more information on how to customize it.
1972 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
1974 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
1975 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
1976 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
1977 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
1979 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
1980 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
1981 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
1983 To switch over to the new system:
1987 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
1989 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
1990 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
1991 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
1992 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
1993 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
1995 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
1997 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
2000 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
2003 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
2005 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2006 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2007 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2008 with using both system in parallel.
2012 *** New Org libraries
2013 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2015 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2017 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2019 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2021 To use, put the following in your init file:
2024 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2027 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2028 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2029 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2030 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2031 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2032 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2033 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2034 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2035 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2038 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2040 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2041 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2043 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2045 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2046 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2047 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2050 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2051 call function to do something special with text links.
2053 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2055 **** org-docview.el (Jan Bรถcker)
2057 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2058 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2059 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2062 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2064 Thanks to Jan Bรถcker for this contribution.
2066 *** New Babel libraries
2068 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2069 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2070 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2071 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2072 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2073 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2074 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2076 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2080 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2082 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2083 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2084 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2085 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2086 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2087 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2089 The key new functions are
2091 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2092 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2093 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2095 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2096 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2098 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2099 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2101 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2102 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2104 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2106 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2107 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2108 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2110 **** Modified link escaping
2112 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2114 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2115 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2116 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2117 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2120 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2121 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2122 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2123 : percent escaped links are solved.
2125 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2127 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2129 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2130 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2132 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2134 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2136 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2137 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2138 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2139 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2140 string to be executed.
2142 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2143 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2147 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2148 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2151 Thanks to Jan Bรถcker for a patch to this effect.
2155 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2157 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2158 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2159 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2160 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2162 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2163 will work on the current entry.
2165 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2166 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2168 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2170 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2172 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2175 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2176 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2181 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2183 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2184 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2185 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2187 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
2189 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
2190 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
2191 entries using a function.
2193 Thanks to Peter Mรผnster for raising a related issue and to
2194 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Mรผnster for
2195 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
2197 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
2199 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
2200 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
2201 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
2203 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
2205 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
2206 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
2207 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
2208 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
2209 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
2210 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
2212 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
2216 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
2218 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
2219 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
2221 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
2222 docstring of these variable for details about available
2225 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
2226 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
2227 formatting string will insert a string.
2229 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
2231 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
2232 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
2233 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
2234 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
2235 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
2236 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
2237 C-e u=, respectively.
2239 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
2240 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
2241 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
2242 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
2243 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
2246 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
2248 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
2249 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
2251 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
2253 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
2254 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
2256 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
2258 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
2259 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
2260 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
2261 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
2262 section]] in the manual for more details.
2264 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
2265 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
2266 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
2271 **** Refile targets can now be cached
2273 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
2274 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
2275 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
2276 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
2277 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
2279 **** New logging support for refiling
2281 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
2282 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
2285 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
2289 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
2291 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
2295 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
2297 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
2298 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
2300 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
2302 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
2303 the displayed in the buffer.
2305 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
2307 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
2309 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
2310 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
2312 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |

2320 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
2323 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
2325 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
2327 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
2328 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
2335 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
2336 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
2339 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
2341 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
2343 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
2344 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
2346 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
2350 **** Improved handling of lists
2352 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
2354 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
2355 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
2356 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
2359 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
2360 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
2361 counters like [@c] or [@W].
2363 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
2364 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
2365 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
2366 `org-list-export-context'.
2368 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
2369 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
2370 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
2372 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
2373 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
2374 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
2375 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
2376 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
2378 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
2379 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
2380 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
2382 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
2384 *** Inline display of linked images
2386 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
2387 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
2388 that have no description part will be inlined.
2390 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
2392 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
2393 from 1, you can now do it like this:
2395 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
2397 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
2399 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
2400 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
2401 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
2402 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
2403 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
2404 into account all header arguments, and variables.
2406 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
2407 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
2408 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
2411 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
2412 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
2413 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
2414 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
2415 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
2416 properties or in tables.
2418 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
2419 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
2420 names, and rownames across all languages.
2422 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
2424 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
2426 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
2427 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
2428 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
2430 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
2432 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
2433 request by Scott Otterson.
2435 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
2437 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
2438 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
2439 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
2440 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
2441 superscripts, see the variable
2442 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
2444 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
2446 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
2448 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
2449 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
2450 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
2451 following new faces:
2453 =org-document-title=
2455 =org-document-info-keyword=
2457 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
2458 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
2460 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
2462 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
2464 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
2465 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
2466 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
2467 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
2468 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
2469 property is affected by this setting.
2471 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
2472 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
2474 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
2476 Requested by Michael Brand.
2478 **** Better level cycling function
2480 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
2481 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
2482 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
2483 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
2485 **** Adaptive filling
2487 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
2488 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
2489 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
2490 comments to be filled correctly.
2492 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
2494 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
2496 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
2498 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
2500 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
2501 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
2503 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
2507 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
2509 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
2510 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
2511 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
2512 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
2514 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
2516 **** Localized clock tables
2518 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
2519 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
2520 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
2521 available translated strings.
2523 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
2525 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
2526 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
2527 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
2528 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
2530 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
2532 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
2534 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
2535 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
2536 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
2537 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
2540 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
2544 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
2546 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
2547 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
2549 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
2551 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
2553 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
2554 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
2555 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
2558 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
2561 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
2563 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
2564 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
2569 org-table-current-line
2573 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
2575 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
2576 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
2579 This was requested by Tom.
2581 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
2583 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
2584 example by viewing from the agenda.
2586 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
