23 *** New relative timer to support timed notes
25 Org now supports taking timed notes, useful for example while
26 watching a video, or during a meeting which is also recorded.
29 Insert a relative time into the buffer. The first time
30 you use this, the timer will be started. When called
31 with a prefix argument, the timer is reset to 0.
34 Insert a description list item with the current relative
35 time. With a prefix argument, first reset the timer to 0.
38 Once the time list has been initiated, you can also use the
39 normal item-creating command to insert the next timer item.
42 Reset the timer without inserting anything into the buffer.
43 By default, the timer is reset to 0. When called with a
44 =C-u= prefix, reset the timer to specific starting
45 offset. The user is prompted for the offset, with a
46 default taken from a timer string at point, if any, So this
47 can be used to restart taking notes after a break in the
48 process. When called with a double prefix argument
49 =C-c C-u=, change all timer strings in the active
50 region by a certain amount. This can be used to fix timer
51 strings if the timer was not started at exactly the right
54 Thanks to Alan Dove, Adam Spiers, and Alan Davis for
55 contributions to this idea.

74 *** Keybindings in Remember buffers can be configured
76 The remember buffers created with Org's extensions are in
77 Org-mode, which is nice to prepare snippets that will
78 actually be stored in Org-mode files. However, this makes it
79 hard to configure key bindings without modifying the Org-mode
80 keymap. There is now a minor mode active in these buffers,
81 `org-remember-mode', and its keymap org-remember-mode-map can
82 be used for key bindings. By default, this map only contains
83 the bindings for =C-c C-c= to store the note, and =C-c C-k=
84 to abort it. Use `org-remember-mode-hook' to define your own
87 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
89 'org-remember-mode-hook
91 (define-key org-remember-mode-map
92 "\C-x\C-s" 'org-remember-finalize)))
95 If you wish, you can also use this to free the =C-c C-c=
96 binding (by binding this key to nil in the minor mode map),
97 so that you can use =C-c C-c= again to set tags.
99 This modification is based on a request by Tim O'Callaghan.
101 *** Support for ido completion
103 You can now get the completion interface from /ido.el/ for
104 many of Org's internal completion commands by turning on the
105 variable =org-completion-use-ido=. =ido-mode= must also be
106 active before you can use this.
108 This change is based upon a request by Samuel Wales.
110 *** New face for date lines in agenda column view
112 When column view is active in the agenda, and when you have
113 summarizing properties, the date lines become normal column
114 lines and the separation between different days becomes
115 harder to see. If this bothers you, you can now customize
116 the face =org-agenda-column-dateline=.
118 This is based on a request by George Pearson.
120 *** Invisible targets become now anchors in headlines.
122 These anchors can be used to jump to a directly with an HTML
123 link, just like the =sec-xxx= ids. For example, the
124 following will make a http link
125 =//domain/path-to-my-file.html#dummy= work:
132 This is based on a request by Matt Lundin.
134 *** New contributed file /org-exp-blocks.el/
136 This new file implements special export behavior of
137 user-defined blocks. The currently supported blocks are
139 - comment :: Comment blocks with author-specific markup
140 - ditaa :: conversion of ASCII art into pretty png files
141 using Stathis Sideris' /ditaa.jar/ program
142 - dot :: creation of graphs in the /dot/ language
143 - R :: Sweave type exporting using the R program
145 For more details and examples, see the file commentary in
148 Kudos to Eric Schulte for this new functionality, after
149 /org-plot.el/ already his second major contribution. Thanks
150 to Stathis for this excellent program, and for allowing us to
151 bundle it with Org-mode.
153 *** New contributed file /org-eval-light.el/
155 This module gives control over execution Emacs Lisp code
156 blocks included in a file.
158 Thanks to Eric Schulte also for this file.
162 You can now configure Org to understand many links created
163 with the Emacs Planner package, so you can cut text from
164 planner pages and paste them into Org-mode files without
165 having to re-write the links. Among other things, this means
166 that the command =org-open-at-point-global= which follows
167 links not only in Org-mode, but in arbitrary files like
168 source code files etc, will work also with links created by
169 planner. The following customization is needed to make all of
172 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
173 (setq org-link-translation-function
174 'org-translate-link-from-planner)
177 I guess an inverse translator could be written and integrated
180 *** BBDB links may use regular expressions.
182 This did work all along, but only now I have documented it.
184 *** =yank-pop= works again after yanking an outline tree
186 Samuel Wales had noticed that =org-yank= did mess up this
187 functionality. Now you can use =yank-pop= again, the only
188 restriction is that the so-yanked text will not be
189 pro/demoted or folded.
191 *** Link abbreviations can use %h to insert a url-encoded target value
193 Thanks to Steve Purcell for a patch to this effect.
195 *** Improved XHTML compliance
197 Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing this.
199 *** Many bug fixes again.
204 - A region of entries can now be refiled with a single command
205 - Fine-tuning the behavior of `org-yank'
206 - Formulas for clocktables
207 - Better implementation of footnotes for HTML export
208 - More languages for HTML export.
212 *** A region of entries can now be refiled with a single command
214 With =transient-make-mode= active (=zmacs-regions= under
215 XEmacs), you can now select a region of entries and refile
216 them all with a single =C-c C-w= command.
218 Thanks to Samuel Wales for this useful proposal.
220 *** Fine-tuning the behavior of =org-yank=
222 The behavior of Org's yanking command has been further
223 fine-tuned in order to avoid some of the small annoyances
226 - Calling =org-yank= with a prefix arg will stop any special
227 treatment and directly pass through to the normal =yank=
228 command. Therefore, you can now force a normal yank with
231 - Subtrees will only be folded after a yank if doing so will
232 now swallow any non-white characters after the yanked text.
233 This is, I think a really important change to make the
234 command work more sanely.
236 *** Formulas for clocktables
238 You can now add formulas to a clock table, either by hand, or
239 with a =:formula= parameter. These formulas can be used to
240 create additional columns with further analysis of the
243 Thanks to Jurgen Defurne for triggering this addition.
245 *** Better implementation of footnotes for HTML export
247 The footnote export in 6.11 really was not good enough. Now
248 it works fine. If you have customized
249 =footnote-section-tag=, make sure that your customization is
250 matched by =footnote-section-tag-regexp=.
252 Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing this change.
254 *** More languages for HTML export.
256 More languages are supported during HTML export. This is
257 only relevant for the few special words Org inserts, like
258 "Table of Contents", or "Footnotes". Also the encoding
259 issues with this feature seem to be solved now.
261 Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing me to fix the encoding
268 - Yanking subtree with =C-y= now adjusts the tree level
269 - State changes can now be shown in the log mode in the agenda
270 - Footnote in HTML export are now collected at the end of the document
271 - HTML export now validates again as XHTML
272 - The clock can now be resumed after exiting and re-starting Emacs
273 - Clock-related data can be saved and resumed across Emacs sessions
274 - Following file links can now use C-u C-u to force use of an external app
275 - Inserting absolute files names now abbreviates links with "~"
276 - Links to attachment files
277 - Completed repeated tasks listed briefly in agenda
278 - Remove buffers created during publishing are removed
282 *** Yanking subtree with =C-y= now adjusts the tree level
283 When yanking a cut/copied subtree or a series of trees, the
284 normal yank key =C-y= now adjusts the level of the tree to
285 make it fit into the current outline position, without losing
286 its identity, and without swallowing other subtrees.
288 This uses the command =org-past-subtree=. An additional
289 change in that command has been implemented: Normally, this
290 command picks the right outline level from the surrounding
291 *visible* headlines, and uses the smaller one. So if the
292 cursor is between a level 4 and a level 3 headline, the tree
293 will be pasted as level 3. If the cursor is actually *at*
294 the beginning of a headline, the level of that headline will
295 be used. For example, lets say you have a tree like this:
301 ,(2)* Level one again
304 with (1) and (2) indicating possible cursor positions for the
305 insertion. When at (1), the tree will be pasted as level 2.
306 When at (2), it will be pasted as level 1.
308 If you do not want =C-y= to behave like this, configure the
309 variable =org-yank-adjusted-subtrees=.
311 Thanks to Samuel Wales for this idea and a partial implementation.
313 *** State changes can now be shown in the log mode in the agenda
315 If you configure the variable =org-agenda-log-mode-items=,
316 you can now request that all logged state changes be included
317 in the agenda when log mode is active. If you find this too
318 much for normal applications, you can also temporarily
319 request the inclusion of state changes by pressing =C-u l= in
322 This was a request by Hsiu-Khuern Tang.
324 You can also press `C-u C-u l' to get *only* log items in the
325 agenda, withour any timestamps/deadlines etc.
327 *** Footnote in HTML export are now collected at the end of the document
328 Previously, footnotes would be left in the document where
329 they are defined, now they are all collected and put into a
330 special =<div>= at the end of the document.
332 Thanks to Sebastian Rose for this request.
334 *** HTML export now validates again as XHTML.
336 Thanks to Sebastian Rose for pushing this cleanup.
338 *** The clock can now be resumed after exiting and re-starting Emacs
340 If the option =org-clock-in-resume= is t, and the first clock
341 line in an entry is unclosed, clocking into that task resumes
342 the clock from that time.
344 Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
346 *** Clock-related data can be saved and resumed across Emacs sessions
348 The data saved include the contents of =org-clock-history=,
349 and the running clock, if there is one.
351 To use this, you will need to add to your .emacs
353 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
354 (setq org-clock-persist t)
355 (setq org-clock-in-resume t)
356 (org-clock-persistence-insinuate)
359 Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
361 *** Following file links can now use C-u C-u to force use of an external app.
363 So far you could only bypass your setup in `org-file-apps'
364 and force opening a file link in Emacs by using a =C-u= prefix arg
365 with =C-c C-o=. Now you can call =C-u C-u C-c C-o= to force
366 an external application. Which external application depends
367 on your system. On Mac OS X and Windows, =open= is used. On
368 a GNU/Linux system, the mailcap settings are used.
370 This was a proposal by Samuel Wales.
372 *** Inserting absolute files names now abbreviates links with "~".
374 Inserting file links with =C-u C-c C-l= was buggy if the
375 setting of `org-link-file-path-type' was `adaptive' (the
376 default). Absolute file paths were not abbreviated relative
377 to the users home directory. This bug has been fixed.
379 Thanks to Matt Lundin for the report.
381 *** Links to attachment files
383 Even though one of the purposes of entry attachments was to
384 reduce the number of links in an entry, one might still want
385 to have the occasional link to one of those files. You can
386 now use link abbreviations to set up a special link type that
387 points to attachments in the current entry. Note that such
388 links will only work from within the same entry that has the
389 attachment, because the directory path is entry specific.
390 Here is the setup you need:
392 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
393 (setq org-link-abbrev-alist '(("att" . org-attach-expand-link)))
396 After this, a link like this will work
398 : [[att:some-attached-file.txt]]
400 This was a proposal by Lindsay Todd.
402 *** Completed repeated tasks listed briefly in agenda
404 When a repeating task, listed in the daily/weekly agenda under
405 today's date, is completed from the agenda, it is listed as
406 DONE in the agenda until the next update happens. After the
407 next update, the task will have disappeared, of course,
408 because the new date is no longer today.
410 *** Remove buffers created during publishing are removed
412 Buffers that are created during publishing are now deleted
413 when the publishing is over. At least I hope it works like this.
419 - Secondary agenda filtering is becoming a killer feature
420 - Setting tags has now its own binding, =C-c C-q=
421 - Todo state changes can trigger tag changes
422 - C-RET will now always insert a new headline, never an item.
423 - Customize org-mouse.el feature set to free up mouse events
424 - New commands for export all the way to PDF (through LaTeX)
425 - Some bug fixed for LaTeX export, more bugs remain.
429 *** Enhancements to secondary agenda filtering
431 This is, I believe, becoming a killer feature. It allows you
432 to define fewer and more general custom agenda commands, and
433 then to do the final narrowing to specific tasks you are
434 looking for very quickly, much faster than calling a new
437 If you have not tries this yet, you should!
439 **** You can now refining the current filter by an additional criterion
440 When filtering an existing agenda view with =/=, you can
441 now narrow down the existing selection by an additional
442 condition. Do do this, use =\= instead of =/= to add the
443 additional criterion. You can also press =+= or =-= after
444 =/= to add a positive or negative condition. A condition
445 can be a TAG, or an effort estimate limit, see below.
447 **** It is now possible to filter for effort estimates
448 This means to filter the agenda for the value of the Effort
449 property. For this you should best set up global allowed
450 values for effort estimates, with
452 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
453 (setq org-global-properties
454 '(("Effort_ALL" . "0 0:10 0:30 1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00")))
457 You may then select effort limits with single keys in the
458 filter. It works like this: After =/= or =\=, first select
459 the operator which you want to use to compare effort
462 : < Select entries with effort smaller than or equal to the limit
463 : > Select entries with effort larger than or equal to the limit
464 : = Select entries with effort equal to the limit
466 After that, you can press a single digit number which is
467 used as an index to the allowed effort estimates.
469 If you do not use digits to fast-select tags, you can even
470 skip the operator, which will then default to
471 `org-agenda-filter-effort-default-operator', which is by
474 Thanks to Manish for the great idea to include fast effort
475 filtering into the agenda filtering process.
477 **** The mode line will show the active filter
478 For example, if there is a filter in place that does select
479 for HOME tags, against EMAIL tags, and for tasks with an
480 estimated effort smaller than 30 minutes, the mode-line with
481 show =+HOME-EMAIL+<0:30=
483 **** The filter now persists when the agenda view is refreshed
484 All normal refresh commands, including those that move the
485 weekly agenda from one week to the next, now keep the
486 current filter in place.
488 You need to press =/ /= to turn off the filter. However,
489 when you run a new agenda command, for example going from
490 the weekly agenda to the TODO list, the filter will be
493 *** Setting tags has now its own binding, =C-c C-q=
495 You can still use =C-c C-c= on a headline, but the new
496 binding should be considered as the main binding for this
497 command. The reasons for this change are:
499 - Using =C-c C-c= for tags is really out of line with other
502 - I hate it in Remember buffers when I try to set tags and I
503 cannot, because =C-c C-c= exits the buffer :-(
505 - =C-c C-q= will also work when the cursor is somewhere down
506 in the entry, it does not have to be on the headline.
508 *** Todo state changes can trigger tag changes
510 The new option =org-todo-state-tags-triggers= can be used to
511 define automatic changes to tags when a TODO state changes.
512 For example, the setting
514 : (setq org-todo-state-tags-triggers
515 : '((done ("Today" . nil) ("NEXT" . nil))
516 : ("WAITING" ("Today" . t))))
518 will make sure that any change to any of the DONE states will
519 remove tags "Today" and "NEXT", while switching to the
520 "WAITING" state will trigger the tag "Today" to be added.
522 I use this mostly to get rid of TODAY and NEXT tags which I
523 apply to select an entry for execution in the near future,
524 which I often prefer to specific time scheduling.
526 *** C-RET will now always insert a new headline, never an item.
527 The new headline is inserted after the current subtree.
529 Thanks to Peter Jones for patches to fine-tune this behavior.
531 *** Customize org-mouse.el feature set
532 There is a new variable =org-mouse-features= which gives you
533 some control about what features of org-mouse you want to
534 use. Turning off some of the feature will free up the
535 corresponding mouse events, or will avoid activating special
536 regions for mouse clicks. By default I have urned off the
537 feature to use drag mouse events to move or promote/demote
538 entries. You can of course turn them back on if you wish.
540 This variable may still change in the future, allowing more
541 fine-grained control.
543 *** New commands for export to PDF
545 This is using LaTeX export, and then processes it to PDF
548 : C-c C-e p process to PDF.
549 : C-c C-e d process to PDF, and open the file.
552 - \usepackage{graphicx} is now part of the standard class
554 - Several bugs fixed, but definitely not all of them :-(
556 *** New option `org-log-state-notes-insert-after-drawers'
558 Set this to =t= if you want state change notes to be inserted
559 after any initial drawers, i.e drawers the immediately follow
560 the headline and the planning line (the one with
561 DEADLINE/SCHEDULED/CLOSED information).
565 *** =org-file-apps= now uses regular expressions, see [[*%20org%20file%20apps%20now%20uses%20regular%20repressions%20instead%20of%20extensions][below]]
569 *** =org-file-apps= now uses regular repressions instead of extensions
570 Just like in =auto-mode-alist=, car's in the variable
571 =org-file-apps= that are strings are now interpreted as
572 regular expressions that are matched against a file name. So
573 instead of "txt", you should now write "\\.txt\\'" to make
574 sure the matching is done correctly (even though "txt" will
575 be recognized and still be interpreted as an extension).
577 There is now a shortcut to get many file types visited by
578 Emacs. If org-file-apps contains `(auto-mode . emacs)', then
579 any files that are matched by `auto-mode-alist' will be
582 *** Changes to the attachment system
584 - The default method to attach a file is now to copy it
585 instead of moving it.
586 - You can modify the default method using the variable
587 `org-attach-method'. I believe that most Unix people want
588 to set it to `ln' to create hard links.
589 - The keys =c=, =m=, and =l= specifically select =copy=,
590 =move=, or =link=, respectively, as the attachment method
591 for a file, overruling `org-attach-method'.
592 - To create a new attachment as an Emacs buffer, you have not
593 now use =n= instead of =c=.
594 - The file list is now always retrieved from the directory
595 itself, not from the "Attachments" property. We still
596 keep this property by default, but you can turn it off, by
597 customizing the variable =org-attach-file-list-property=.
601 ** Incompatible changes
603 - Changes in the structure of IDs, see [[*The%20default%20structure%20of%20IDs%20has%20changed][here]] for details.
605 - C-c C-a has been redefined, see [[*%20C%20c%20C%20a%20no%20longer%20calls%20show%20all][here]] for details.
609 *** The default structure of IDs has changed
611 IDs created by Org have changed a bit:
612 - By default, there is no prefix on the ID. There used to be
613 an "Org" prefix, but I now think this is not necessary.
614 - IDs use only lower-case letters, no upper-case letters
615 anymore. The reason for this is that IDs are now also used
616 as directory names for org-attach, and some systems do not
617 distinguish upper and lower case in the file system.
618 - The ID string derived from the current time is now
619 /reversed/ to become an ID. This assures that the first
620 two letters of the ID change fast, so hat it makes sense to
621 split them off to create subdirectories to balance load.
622 - You can now set the `org-id-method' to `uuidgen' on systems
625 *** =C-c C-a= no longer calls `show-all'
627 The reason for this is that =C-c C-a= is now used for the
628 attachment system. On the rare occasions that this command
629 is needed, use =M-x show-all=, or =C-u C-u C-u TAB=.
631 *** New attachment system
633 You can now attach files to each node in the outline tree.
634 This works by creating special directories based on the ID of
635 an entry, and storing files in these directories. Org can
636 keep track of changes to the attachments by automatically
637 committing changes to git. See the manual for more
640 Thanks to John Wiegley who contributed this fantastic new
641 concept and wrote org-attach.el to implement it.
643 *** New remember template escapes
645 : %^{prop}p to insert a property
646 : %k the heading of the item currently being clocked
647 : %K a link to the heading of the item currently being clocked
649 Also, when you exit remember with =C-2 C-c C-c=, the item
650 will be filed as a child of the item currently being
651 clocked. So the idea is, if you are working on something and
652 think of a new task related to this or a new note to be
653 added, you can use this to quickly add information to that
656 Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
658 *** Clicking with mouse-2 on clock info in mode-line visits the clock.
660 Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
662 *** New file in contrib: lisp/org-checklist.el
664 This module deals with repeated tasks that have checkbox
667 Thanks to James TD Smith for this contribution.
669 *** New in-buffer setting #+STYLE
671 It can be used to locally set the variable
672 `org-export-html-style-extra'. Several such lines are
673 allowed-, they will all be concatenated. For an example on
674 how to use it, see the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-publish-html-tutorial.php][publishing tutorial]].
680 - Filtering existing agenda views with respect to a tag
681 - Editing fixed-width regions with picture or artist mode
682 - /org-plot.el/ is now part of Org
683 - Tags can be used to select the export part of a document
684 - Prefix interpretation when storing remember notes
685 - Yanking inserts folded subtrees
686 - Column view capture tables can have formulas, plotting info
687 - In column view, date stamps can be changed with S-cursor keys
688 - The note buffer for clocking out now mentions the task
689 - Sorting entries alphabetically ignores TODO keyword and priority
690 - Agenda views can sort entries by TODO state
691 - New face =org-scheduled= for entries scheduled in the future.
692 - Remember templates for gnus links can use the :to escape.
693 - The file specification in a remember template may be a function
694 - Categories in iCalendar export include local tags
695 - It is possible to define filters for column view
696 - Disabling integer increment during table Field copy
697 - Capturing column view is on `C-c C-x i'
698 - And tons of bugs fixed.
701 ** Incompatible changes
703 *** Prefix interpretation when storing remember notes has changed
705 The prefix argument to the `C-c C-c' command that finishes a
706 remember process is now interpreted differently:
708 : C-c C-c Store the note to predefined file and headline
709 : C-u C-c C-c Like C-c C-c, but immediately visit the note
710 : in its new location.
711 : C-1 C-c C-c Select the storage location interactively
712 : C-0 C-c C-c Re-use the last used location
714 This was requested by John Wiegley.
716 *** Capturing column view is now on `C-c C-x i'
718 The reason for this change was that `C-c C-x r' is also used
719 as a tty key replacement.
721 *** Categories in iCalendar export now include local tags
723 The locally defined tags are now listed as categories when
724 exporting to iCalendar format. Org's traditional file/tree
725 category is now the last category in this list. Configure
726 the variable =org-icalendar-categories= to modify or revert
729 This was a request by Charles Philip Chan.
733 *** Secondary filtering of agenda views.
735 You can now easily and interactively filter an existing
736 agenda view with respect to a tag. This command is executed
737 with the =/= key in the agenda. You will be prompted for a
738 tag selection key, and all entries that do not contain or
739 inherit the corresponding tag will be hidden. With a prefix
740 argument, the opposite filter is applied: entries that
741 do have the tag will be hidden.
743 This operation only /hides/ lines in the agenda buffer, it
744 does not remove them. Changing the secondary filtering does
745 not require a new search and is very fast.
747 If you press TAB at the tag selection prompt, you will be
748 switched to a completion interface to select a tag. This is
749 useful when you want to select a tag that does not have a
750 direct access character.
752 A double =/ /= will restore the original agenda view by
753 unhiding any hidden lines.
755 This functionality was John Wiegley's idea. It is a simpler
756 implementation of some of the query-editing features proposed
757 and implemented some time ago by Christopher League (see the
758 file contrib/lisp/org-interactive-query.el).
760 *** Editing fixed-width regions with picture or artist mode
762 The command @<code>C-c '@</code> (that is =C-c= followed by a
763 single quote) can now also be used to switch to a special
764 editing mode for fixed-width sections. The default mode is
765 =artist-mode= which allows you to create ASCII drawings.
767 It works like this: Enter the editing mode with
768 @<code>C-c '@</code>. An indirect buffer will be created and
769 narrowed to the fixed-width region. Edit the drawing, and
770 press @<code>C-c '@</code> again to exit.
772 Lines in a fixed-width region should be preceded by a colon
773 followed by at least one space. These will be removed during
774 editing, and then added back when you exit the editing mode.
776 Using the command in an empty line will create a new
779 This new feature arose from a discussion involving Scott
780 Otterson, Sebastian Rose and Will Henney.
782 *** /org-plot.el/ is now part of Org.
784 You can run it by simple calling org-plot/gnuplot.
785 Documentation is not yet included with Org, please refer to
786 http://github.com/eschulte/org-plot/tree/master until we have
787 moved the docs into Org or Worg.
789 Thanks to Eric Schulte for this great contribution.
791 *** Tags can be used to select the export part of a document
793 You may now use tags to select parts of a document for
794 inclusion into the export, and to exclude other parts. This
795 behavior is governed by two new variables:
796 =org-export-select-tags= and =org-export-exclude-tags=.
797 These default to =("export")= and =("noexport")=, but can be
798 changed, even to include a list of several tags.
800 Org first checks if any of the /select/ tags is present in
801 the buffer. If yes, all trees that do not carry one of these
802 tags will be excluded. If a selected tree is a subtree, the
803 heading hierarchy above it will also be selected for export,
804 but not the text below those headings. If none of the select
805 tags is found anywhere in the buffer, the whole buffer will
806 be selected for export. Finally, all subtrees that are
807 marked by any of the /exclude/ tags will be removed from the
810 You may set these tags with in-buffer options
811 =EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS= and =EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS=.
813 I love this feature. Thanks to Richard G Riley for coming
816 *** Prefix interpretation when storing remember notes
818 The prefix argument to the `C-c C-c' command that finishes a
819 remember process is now interpreted differently:
821 : C-c C-c Store the note to predefined file and headline
822 : C-u C-c C-c Like C-c C-c, but immediately visit the note
823 : in its new location.
824 : C-1 C-c C-c Select the storage location interactively
825 : C-0 C-c C-c Re-use the last used location
827 This was requested by John Wiegley.
829 *** Yanking inserts folded subtrees
831 If the kill is a subtree or a sequence of subtrees, yanking
832 them with =C-y= will leave all the subtrees in a folded
833 state. This basically means, that kill and yank are now
834 much more useful in moving stuff around in your outline. If
835 you do not like this, customize the variable
836 =org-yank-folded-subtrees=.
838 Right now, I am only binding =C-y= to this new function,
839 should I modify all bindings of yank? Do we need to amend
842 This feature was requested by John Wiegley.
844 *** Column view capture tables can have formulas, plotting info
846 If you attach formulas and plotting instructions to a table
847 capturing column view, these extra lines will now survive an
848 update of the column view capture, and any formulas will be
849 re-applied to the captured table. This works by keeping any
850 continuous block of comments before and after the actual
853 *** In column view, date stamps can be changed with S-cursor keys
855 If a property value is a time stamp, S-left and S-right can
856 now be used to shift this date around while in column view.
858 This was a request by Chris Randle.
860 *** The note buffer for clocking out now mentions the task
862 This was a request by Peter Frings.
864 *** Sorting entries alphabetically ignores TODO keyword and priority
866 Numerical and alphanumerical sorting now skips any TODO
867 keyword or priority cookie when constructing the comparison
868 string. This was a request by Wanrong Lin.
870 *** Agenda views can sort entries by TODO state
872 You can now define a sorting strategy for agenda entries that
873 does look at the TODO state of the entries. Sorting by TODO
874 entry does first separate the non-done from the done states.
875 Within each class, the entries are sorted not alphabetically,
876 but in definition order. So if you have a sequence of TODO
877 entries defined, the entries will be sorted according to the
878 position of the keyword in this sequence.
880 This follows an idea and sample implementation by Christian
883 *** New face =org-scheduled= for entries scheduled in the future.
885 This was a request by Richard G Riley.
887 *** Remember templates for gnus links can now use the :to escape.
889 Thanks to Tommy Lindgren for a patch to this effect.
890 *** The file specification in a remember template may now be a function
892 Thanks to Gregory Sullivan for a patch to this effect.
894 *** Categories in iCalendar export now include local tags
896 The locally defined tags are now listed as categories when
897 exporting to iCalendar format. Org's traditional file/tree
898 category is now the last category in this list. Configure
899 the variable =org-icalendar-categories= to modify or revert
902 This was a request by Charles Philip Chan.
904 *** It is now possible to define filters for column view
906 The filter can modify the value that will be displayed in a
907 column, for example it can cut out a part of a time stamp.
908 For more information, look at the variable
909 =org-columns-modify-value-for-display-function=.
911 *** Disabling integer increment during table field copy
913 Prefix arg 0 to S-RET does the trick.
915 This was a request by Chris Randle.
