12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** Properties drawers syntax changes
14 Properties drawers are now required to be located right after
15 a headline and its planning line, when applicable.
17 It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
18 logged before the property drawer. The following function will repair
21 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
22 (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
23 "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
24 Ignore non Org buffers."
25 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
27 (goto-char (point-min))
28 (let ((case-fold-search t)
29 (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
30 (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
34 (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
36 (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
38 (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
39 (when (and (< (point) end)
40 (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
42 (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
44 (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
46 (insert (delete-and-extract-region
48 (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
49 (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
51 *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
52 ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~,
53 ~org-show-entry-below~ and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist.
54 Instead, visibility is controlled through a single variable:
55 ~org-show-context-detail~, which see.
56 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
57 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
58 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
60 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
61 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
62 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
63 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
64 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
66 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
67 docstring for more information.
68 - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
69 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
70 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
71 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
72 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
73 *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
74 The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
75 ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-next-visible-heading~
76 respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
77 functions. The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
78 (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
80 *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
81 Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
82 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
83 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
84 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
85 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
86 accessible from the export dispatcher.
87 *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
88 ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
89 *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
90 The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
93 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
94 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
97 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
98 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
99 *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
100 Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use
101 a body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
103 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
104 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
105 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
106 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
107 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
108 this variable locally.
109 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
110 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
111 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
112 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
113 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
114 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
115 *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
116 Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
117 would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
119 *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
120 Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
121 *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
122 This variable had no effect since Org 8.0.
123 *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
124 MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
125 end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
126 ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
127 ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
128 *** Removed comment-related filters
129 ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
130 ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
133 *** Hierarchies of tags
134 The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
135 This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
136 in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
138 The following in-buffer definition:
140 ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
141 ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
142 ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
145 Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
154 Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
155 on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
157 There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
159 *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
160 Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
161 don't have to be distinct on a heading.
163 Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
164 already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
165 non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: {
166 } can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the
167 given tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
169 [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
175 This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
178 *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
179 Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
182 The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
185 : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
187 Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
188 regular expression matches for P@.+. Good for example if tags for a
189 certain project is tagged with a common project-identifier,
192 *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
193 Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filter all of the related tags.
194 Exception if filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
196 Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
199 If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
200 is also used as a filter.
202 *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
203 Now uses the argument arg and optional argument exclude instead of
204 strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
205 makes more sense than strip now. The term narrowing is changed to
208 The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
209 filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
211 *** New behaviour for `org-toggle-latex-fragment'.
212 The new behaviour is the following:
214 - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument
215 when point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the
218 - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
221 - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
223 - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
225 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
226 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
227 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
228 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
229 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
230 possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
232 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
233 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
234 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
235 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
237 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
238 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
239 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
240 ~org-drawers~ variable.
241 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
242 Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
243 mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
244 "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
245 configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
246 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
247 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
249 *** New option in ASCII export
250 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
251 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
252 *** New blocks in ASCII export
253 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
254 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
255 *** More back-end specific publishing options
256 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
257 increased. See manual for details.
258 *** Export inline source blocks
259 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
260 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
261 in the output, depending on the parameters.
262 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
263 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
264 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
265 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
266 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
267 more features. See docstring for details.
268 *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
269 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
270 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
271 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
272 *** Improve radio tables
273 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
274 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
275 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
276 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
277 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
278 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
279 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
280 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
281 source blocks exported by the minted package.
282 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
283 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
284 would throw an error. A new variable
285 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
286 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
287 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
289 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
291 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
292 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
293 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
294 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
295 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
296 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
297 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
298 now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
299 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
300 *** Export unnumbered headlines
301 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
302 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
303 property is inherited by children.
304 *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
305 It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
306 through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
307 keys, to sort a table.
308 *** Table of contents can be local to a section
309 The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See
311 *** Countdown timers can now be paused.
312 ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
314 *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
315 When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
316 displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
317 *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
318 It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
319 ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
320 *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
321 It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
322 title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
323 *** New entities family: "\_ "
324 "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
325 back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
326 leading spaces within table cells.
327 *** New MathJax configuration options.
328 Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
329 of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
331 *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
332 ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
333 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
334 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
335 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
336 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
337 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
338 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
340 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
341 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
342 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
343 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
344 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
345 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
346 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
347 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
348 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
349 particular test failure was introduced.
350 *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
351 Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
352 the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as
353 well as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~
354 when ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
355 *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
356 New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
357 Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
360 ** Incompatible changes
361 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
362 This may require two changes in user config.
364 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
365 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
366 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
368 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
370 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
371 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
372 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
374 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
375 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
377 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
381 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
383 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
385 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
386 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
387 option keywords like :html-include-style.
389 So you need to replace
391 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
395 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
397 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
398 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
400 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
402 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
403 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
404 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
406 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
407 the other optional arguments accordingly.
409 *** Export back-ends are now structures
411 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
412 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
413 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
416 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
418 ** Important bugfixes
420 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
421 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
423 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
425 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
426 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
427 separator starting a TOTO match string.
430 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
432 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
434 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
437 - Support for .pgf files
438 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
439 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
440 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
441 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
442 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
443 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
444 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
446 *** New functions for paragraph motion
448 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
449 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
450 in a paragraph-like way.
452 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
454 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
455 dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
456 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
457 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
458 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
460 *** Anonymous export back-ends
462 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
463 which can then be passed to export functions like
464 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
466 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
467 registering a new back-end.
469 *** New agenda fortnight view
471 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
472 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
475 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
477 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
478 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
480 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
481 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
482 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
484 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
485 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
487 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
488 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
489 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
490 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
491 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
494 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
496 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
498 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
500 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
502 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
504 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
506 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
508 If you set this to the following
510 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
512 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
514 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
516 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
518 ** New contributed packages
520 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
521 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
524 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
525 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
529 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
531 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
532 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
533 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
534 the same with example blocks.
536 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
543 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
545 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
548 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
549 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
550 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
552 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
553 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
554 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
555 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
556 detailed explanations.
558 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
559 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
560 function has been called already.
562 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
565 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
567 ** Incompatible changes
569 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
571 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
573 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
574 you will have to update them.
576 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
578 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
579 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
581 **** New export engine
583 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
584 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
585 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
586 /all/ export back-ends.
588 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
589 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
590 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
591 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
592 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
594 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
595 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
597 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
598 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
599 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
600 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
602 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
604 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
606 should now be written
608 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
610 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
611 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
612 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
614 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
616 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
618 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
621 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
622 remember templates into capture templates.
624 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
626 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
627 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
629 **** Note for third-party developers
631 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
632 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
633 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
635 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
638 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
640 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
641 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
642 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
644 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
645 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
646 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
649 - org-colview-xemacs.el
656 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
657 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
658 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
660 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
661 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
663 ** New packages in core

707 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
708 for starting headlines.
710 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
712 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
713 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
714 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
715 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
717 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
719 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
721 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel

724 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
727 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
728 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
731 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
733 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
734 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
737 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
738 conversion from Org files to groff.
740 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
742 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
744 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
746 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
747 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
754 **** New export generic options
756 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
757 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
759 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
761 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
762 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
763 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
764 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
766 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
767 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
768 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
769 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
770 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
771 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
772 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
773 contains time-stamps.
775 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
776 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
777 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
779 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
781 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
783 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
785 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
787 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
788 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
789 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
790 *** Structure editing
792 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
793 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
795 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
796 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
798 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
800 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
801 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
802 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
803 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
806 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
808 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
809 _words__= will preserve markup.
811 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
813 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
814 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
815 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
817 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
819 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
820 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
822 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
824 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
825 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
826 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
827 forward and backward.
829 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
830 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
832 Now Org will sort this list
834 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
835 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
839 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
840 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
842 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
843 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
844 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
846 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
847 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
848 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
850 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
853 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
855 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
856 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
857 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
859 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
861 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
862 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
863 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
864 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
866 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
868 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
869 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
870 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
871 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
872 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
874 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
876 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
877 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
878 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
880 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
881 *** Scheduled/deadline
883 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
885 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
886 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
887 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
888 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
890 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
891 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
892 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
893 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
895 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
896 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
897 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
898 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
899 control this globally or per agenda.
901 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
903 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
905 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
907 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
908 *** Calendar, diary and appts
910 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
912 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
913 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
914 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
916 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
917 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
918 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
920 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
921 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
923 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
926 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
928 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
929 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
930 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
932 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
934 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
935 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
936 only show their description, not the full links.
939 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
941 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
942 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
943 want to build a list of appointments.
945 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
946 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
948 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
950 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
952 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
953 time value (i.e. appointments).
955 **** New agenda sorting strategies
957 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
959 | Strategy | Explanations |
960 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
961 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
962 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
963 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
964 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
965 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
966 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
967 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
968 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
969 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
970 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
972 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
974 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
975 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
976 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
978 These new options are available:
980 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
981 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
982 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
983 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
985 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
986 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
987 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
989 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
990 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
991 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
992 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
993 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
994 non-tagged headlines.
996 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
998 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
999 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
1000 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
1001 that take only =N= minutes.
1003 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
1005 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
1006 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
1007 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
1009 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
1011 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
1012 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
1014 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
1016 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
1017 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
1019 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
1022 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
1024 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
1025 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
1026 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
1028 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
1029 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
1031 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
1033 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
1034 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
1036 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
1038 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
1040 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
1041 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
1044 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
1046 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
1047 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
1048 asks for a confirmation.
1050 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
1052 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
1053 the mark of the entry at point.
1055 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
1056 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
1058 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
1060 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
1061 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
1064 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
1066 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
1067 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
1069 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
1071 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
1072 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
1074 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
1076 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
1077 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
1078 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
1079 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
1081 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1083 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
1084 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
1085 repeated beyond the current deadline.
1087 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
1089 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
1090 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
1091 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
1092 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
1094 Read the full docstring for details.
1096 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
1098 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
1101 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
1104 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
1106 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
1107 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
1110 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
1112 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
1113 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
1115 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
1117 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1118 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
1119 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
1120 check against the name of the buffer.
1123 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
1124 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
1125 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
1128 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
1129 agenda views, and for filtering.
1131 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
1135 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
1137 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
1138 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
1139 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
1141 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
1142 as if the protocol was not known.
1144 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
1146 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
1148 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
1149 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
1150 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
1153 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
1155 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
1156 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
1157 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
1159 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
1161 When storing a link to a headline like
1163 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
1165 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
1166 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
1167 there is no description.
1170 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
1172 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
1173 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
1174 those other formulas.
1176 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
1178 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
1179 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
1180 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
1183 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
1185 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
1186 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
1187 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
1190 **** New lookup functions
1192 There are now three lookup functions:
1194 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
1195 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
1196 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
1198 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
1199 *** Startup keywords
1201 These new startup keywords are now available:
1203 | Startup keyword | Option |
1204 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1205 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
1206 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
1207 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1208 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
1209 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
1210 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1211 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
1212 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
1216 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
1218 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
1219 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
1220 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
1221 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
1223 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
1225 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
1226 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
1227 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1230 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1231 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1233 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1235 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1236 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1238 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1240 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1241 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1242 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1244 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1245 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1246 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1247 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1248 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1249 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1250 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1253 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1255 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1257 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1259 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1260 same target than the block at point.
1262 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1264 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1265 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1266 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1268 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1269 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1272 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1274 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1275 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1276 manual for a usage example.
1278 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1280 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1281 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1282 collecting blocks for tangling.
1284 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1285 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1287 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1288 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1289 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1290 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1292 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1293 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
1296 - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
1297 - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
1298 - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda

1303 - New speedy key =s= pour [[doc:org-narrow-to-subtree][org-narrow-to-subtree]]
1304 - Handling of [[doc:org-html-table-row][org-html-table-row]] has been updated (incompatible change)
1305 - [[doc:org-export-html-table-tag][org-export-html-table-tag]] is replaced by [[doc:org-html-table-default-attributes][org-html-table-default-attributes]]

1311 - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
1312 - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
1313 - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
1314 - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
1315 - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links

1317 - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
1318 - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
1319 - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
1320 - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports MacOSX version up to 10.8
1321 - Various improvements to ~org-contacts.el~ and =orgpan.el=
1325 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
1327 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1329 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1331 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1333 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1334 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1335 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1336 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1337 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1338 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1339 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1340 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1342 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
1344 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
1345 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
1347 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1349 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1350 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1351 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1355 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1357 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1358 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1361 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1362 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1363 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1364 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1365 agenda type to this variable.
1367 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1370 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1371 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1372 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1373 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1375 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1377 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1378 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1379 invisible) blocked tasks.
1381 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1383 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1384 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1386 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1388 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1389 ** No GPL manual anymore
1391 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1392 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1394 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1396 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1398 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1399 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1400 in most environments.
1404 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1406 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1408 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1409 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
1412 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
1413 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
1414 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
1417 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
1419 ** Overview of the new keybindings
1421 | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
1422 |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|
1423 | =C-c C-x C-z= | | [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]] |
1424 | =C-c C-x C-q= | | [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]] |
1425 | =C-c C-x C-x= | | [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] |

1435 | C-c , | , | [[doc::org-priority][org-priority]] |
1437 ** New package and Babel language
1439 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
1441 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
1443 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
1444 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
1446 ** Incompatible changes
1448 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
1449 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
1451 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
1454 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
1455 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
1456 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
1458 ** New features and user-visible changes
1462 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
1463 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
1464 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
1465 core and many core functions rely on this package.
1467 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
1468 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
1470 See the docstrings for more details.
1472 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
1473 on =org-element.el=.
1475 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
1477 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
1478 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
1479 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
1480 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
1482 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
1484 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
1485 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
1486 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
1487 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
1489 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
1491 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
1493 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
1495 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
1498 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
1499 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
1501 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
1502 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
1503 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
1506 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
1509 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
1510 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
1511 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
1513 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
1514 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
1515 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
1520 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
1522 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
1523 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
1524 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
1525 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
1527 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
1528 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
1529 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
1530 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
1531 generating new ones.
1533 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
1536 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1538 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1539 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
1542 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1543 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
1544 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
1547 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
1548 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
1549 details on how to use this.
1551 **** Changes in bulk actions
1553 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
1554 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
1556 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
1557 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
1558 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
1559 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
1560 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
1562 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
1563 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
1565 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
1566 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
1569 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
1571 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
1573 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
1575 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
1576 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
1578 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
1580 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
1581 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
1582 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
1583 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
1586 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1588 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
1591 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
1592 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
1593 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
1594 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
1595 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
1598 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
1600 See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
1602 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
1604 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
1605 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
1606 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
1607 filters and category filters.
1609 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
1610 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
1613 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
1614 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
1615 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
1620 **** Inserting links
1622 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
1623 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
1624 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
1627 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
1628 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
1629 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
1630 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
1632 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
1635 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
1637 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
1638 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
1639 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
1640 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
1642 **** New link type =help=
1644 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
1646 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
1647 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
1648 you go back to the same buffer.
1650 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
1652 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
1653 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
1656 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
1658 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
1660 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
1662 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
1664 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
1666 **** RET now follows time stamps links
1670 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
1672 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
1673 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
1674 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
1675 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
1677 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
1679 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
1680 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
1681 all headlines in the region.
1683 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
1685 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
1687 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
1688 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
1690 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
1692 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
1694 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
1696 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
1698 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
1700 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
1701 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
1702 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
1707 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
1709 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
1711 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
1713 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
1714 clocked entry, if any.
1716 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
1718 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
1720 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
1722 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
1723 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
1726 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
1727 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
1728 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
1732 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
1734 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
1737 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
1739 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
1740 cells in clockreport.
1742 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
1743 time cells in clockreport.
1746 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
1748 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
1749 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
1751 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
1752 in the mode line and/or frame title.
1754 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
1755 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
1756 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
1757 space in the frame title.
1761 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
1763 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
1764 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
1765 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
1766 don't want to see temporarily.
1768 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
1770 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
1772 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1774 There are these new entities:
1776 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
1777 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
1778 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
1779 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
1780 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
1781 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
1783 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
1784 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
1785 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
1787 The face is back to a normal height.
1791 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
1792 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
1794 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
1795 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
1797 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
1799 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
1800 block will use its value as the column format.
1802 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
1804 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
1806 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
1808 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
1810 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
1811 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
1812 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
1813 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
1815 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
1819 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
1821 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
1823 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
1825 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
1827 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
1828 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
1829 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
1831 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
1833 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
1834 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
1835 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
1839 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
1841 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
1842 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
1843 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
1844 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
1846 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
1848 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1849 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
1852 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1853 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
1854 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
1857 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
1858 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
1859 more details on how to use this.
1861 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
1862 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
1864 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
1865 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
1868 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
1870 See the manual for more explanations.
1872 **** More control over empty lines
1874 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
1875 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
1878 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
1880 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
1884 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
1886 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
1887 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
1888 available) to print beautiful tables.
1890 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
1892 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
1893 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
1896 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
1898 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
1899 in the #+DATE option.
1901 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
1903 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
1905 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
1906 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
1908 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
1909 More languages are always welcome.
1911 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
1913 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
1914 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
1916 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
1917 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
1918 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
1919 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
1920 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
1921 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
1923 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
1924 to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
1928 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
1930 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
1933 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
1935 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
1936 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
1938 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
1940 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
1942 It used to exports the results of the code.
1946 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
1947 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
1949 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
1950 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
1952 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
1954 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
1955 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
1956 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
1958 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
1959 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
1961 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
1962 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
1963 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
1966 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
1968 This will increment the effort value.
1970 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
1972 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
1974 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
1975 attach symbolic links.
1977 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
1979 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
1981 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
1982 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
1984 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
1986 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
1988 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
1989 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
1990 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
1992 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
1994 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
1995 all top level list items.
1997 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
1999 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
2001 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
2002 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
2004 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
2006 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
2008 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
2009 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
2010 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
2011 first headline in the region.
2013 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
2015 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
2018 ** Important bug fixes
2020 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
2022 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
2023 perform completion with meaningful values.
2025 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
2027 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
2028 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
2029 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
2031 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
2032 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
2034 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
2035 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
2038 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
2039 the code and the license to your needs.
2041 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
2042 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
2046 ** Incompatible changes
2048 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
2050 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
2052 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
2054 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
2055 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
2056 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
2057 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
2060 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
2062 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
2063 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
2064 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
2066 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
2068 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
2069 =org-agenda-span= instead.
2071 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
2073 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
2075 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
2076 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
2077 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
2078 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
2079 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
2081 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
2082 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
2083 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
2084 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
2085 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
2086 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
2088 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
2089 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
2090 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
2093 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
2096 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
2097 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
2098 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
2099 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
2101 The two new variables are:
2103 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
2104 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
2105 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
2106 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
2107 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
2108 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
2109 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
2111 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
2112 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
2115 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
2118 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
2119 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
2120 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
2121 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
2123 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
2124 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
2125 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
2126 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
2129 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
2130 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
2131 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
2132 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
2133 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
2134 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
2137 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
2138 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
2139 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
2140 applies to the following packages:
2158 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
2159 you are using, you can remove it from
2160 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
2161 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
2164 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
2165 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
2166 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
2167 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
2168 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
2171 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
2173 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
2174 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
2175 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
2178 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
2180 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
2182 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
2184 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
2186 ** Important new features
2188 *** New Org to ODT exporter
2190 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
2192 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
2193 for more information on how to customize it.
2195 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
2197 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
2198 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
2199 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
2200 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
2202 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
2203 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
2204 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
2206 To switch over to the new system:
2210 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
2212 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
2213 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
2214 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
2215 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
2216 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
2218 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
2220 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
2223 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
2226 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
2228 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2229 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2230 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2231 with using both system in parallel.
2235 *** New Org libraries
2236 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2238 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2240 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2242 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2244 To use, put the following in your init file:
2247 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2250 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2251 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2252 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2253 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2254 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2255 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2256 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2257 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2258 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2261 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2263 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2264 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2266 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2268 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2269 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2270 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2273 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2274 call function to do something special with text links.
2276 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2278 **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
2280 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2281 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point

2287 Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
2289 *** New Babel libraries
2291 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2292 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2293 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2294 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2295 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2296 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2297 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2299 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2303 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2305 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2306 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2307 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2308 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2309 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2310 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2312 The key new functions are
2314 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2315 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2316 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2318 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2319 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2321 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2322 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2324 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2325 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2327 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2329 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2330 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2331 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2333 **** Modified link escaping
2335 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2337 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2338 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2339 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2340 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2343 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2344 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2345 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2346 : percent escaped links are solved.
2348 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2350 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2352 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2353 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2355 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2357 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2359 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2360 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2361 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2362 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2363 string to be executed.
2365 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2366 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2370 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2371 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2374 Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
2378 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2380 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2381 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2382 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2383 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2385 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2386 will work on the current entry.
2388 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2389 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2391 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2393 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2395 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2398 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2399 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2404 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2406 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2407 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2408 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2410 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
2412 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
2413 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
2414 entries using a function.
2416 Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
2417 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
2418 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
2420 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
2422 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
2423 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
2424 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
2426 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
2428 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
2429 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
2430 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
2431 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
2432 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
2433 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
2435 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
2439 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
2441 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
2442 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
2444 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
2445 docstring of these variable for details about available
2448 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
2449 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
2450 formatting string will insert a string.
2452 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
2454 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
2455 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
2456 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
2457 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
2458 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
2459 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
2460 C-e u=, respectively.
2462 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
2463 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
2464 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
2465 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
2466 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
2469 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
2471 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
2472 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
2474 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
2476 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
2477 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
2479 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
2481 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
2482 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
2483 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
2484 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
2485 section]] in the manual for more details.
2487 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
2488 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
2489 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
2494 **** Refile targets can now be cached
2496 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
2497 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
2498 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
2499 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
2500 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
2502 **** New logging support for refiling
2504 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
2505 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
2508 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
2512 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
2514 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
2518 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
2520 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
2521 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
2523 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
2525 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
2526 the displayed in the buffer.
2528 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
2530 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
2532 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
2533 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
2535 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
2536 |--------+--------+---------|
2537 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
2538 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
2540 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
2543 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
2546 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
2548 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
2550 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
2551 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
2558 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
2559 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
2562 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
2564 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
2566 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
2567 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
2569 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
2573 **** Improved handling of lists
2575 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
2577 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
2578 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
2579 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
2582 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
2583 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
2584 counters like [@c] or [@W].
2586 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
2587 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
2588 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
2589 `org-list-export-context'.
2591 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
2592 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
2593 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
2595 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
2596 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
2597 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
2598 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
2599 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
2601 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
2602 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
2603 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
2605 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
2607 *** Inline display of linked images
2609 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
2610 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
2611 that have no description part will be inlined.
2613 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
2615 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
2616 from 1, you can now do it like this:
2618 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
2620 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
2622 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
2623 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
2624 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
2625 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
2626 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
2627 into account all header arguments, and variables.
2629 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
2630 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
2631 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
2634 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
2635 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
2636 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
2637 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
2638 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
2639 properties or in tables.
2641 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
2642 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
2643 names, and rownames across all languages.
2645 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
2647 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
2649 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
2650 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
2651 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
2653 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
2655 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
2656 request by Scott Otterson.
2658 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
2660 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
2661 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
2662 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
2663 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
2664 superscripts, see the variable
2665 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
2667 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
2669 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
2671 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
2672 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
2673 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
2674 following new faces:
2676 =org-document-title=
2678 =org-document-info-keyword=
2680 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
2681 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
2683 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
2685 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
2687 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
2688 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
2689 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
2690 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
2691 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
2692 property is affected by this setting.
2694 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
2695 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
2697 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
2699 Requested by Michael Brand.
2701 **** Better level cycling function
2703 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
2704 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
2705 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
2706 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
2708 **** Adaptive filling
2710 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
2711 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
2712 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
2713 comments to be filled correctly.
2715 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
2717 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
2719 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
2721 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
2723 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
2724 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
2726 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
2730 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
2732 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
2733 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
2734 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
2735 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
2737 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
2739 **** Localized clock tables
2741 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
2742 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
2743 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
2744 available translated strings.
2746 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
2748 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
2749 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
2750 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
2751 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
2753 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
2755 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
2757 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
2758 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
2759 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
2760 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
2763 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
2767 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
2769 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
2770 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
2772 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
2774 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
2776 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
2777 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
2778 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
2781 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
2784 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
2786 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
2787 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
2792 org-table-current-line
2796 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
2798 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
2799 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
2802 This was requested by Tom.
2804 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
2806 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
2807 example by viewing from the agenda.
2809 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
