12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** New syntax for export blocks
14 Export blocks are explicetly marked as such at the syntax level to
15 disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
18 ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
31 As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
34 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
40 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
43 The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
44 using previous syntax:
46 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
47 (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
48 "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
49 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
50 (let ((case-fold-search t)
51 (back-end-re (regexp-opt
52 '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
53 "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
56 (goto-char (point-min))
57 (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
59 (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
60 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
61 (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
63 (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
64 (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
67 (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
68 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
70 (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
71 (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
72 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
73 (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
74 (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
75 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
78 Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~
79 and ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to
83 **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
84 Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
85 it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
86 constructs are now unsupported.
88 If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them
90 **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
91 Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
92 something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
93 consider using =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
95 In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
97 *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
98 The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
99 S-expressions. Replacing a S-expresion with an appropriate function
100 is straightforward. For example
106 : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
109 *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
111 Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
114 org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
115 org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
118 Old-style links such as
119 : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
120 continue to be supported.
122 If you have defined your own handler functions for
123 ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
124 list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
125 ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into
129 ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
130 *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
131 When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
132 entries are added to last in the date tree.
133 *** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
134 This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
135 a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
136 *** New ~vbar~ entity
137 ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionnally as a =|=,
138 unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~|~ when using
139 a HTML derived export back-end.
141 **** Support for Stan language
142 New ob-stan.el library.
144 Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
146 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
148 This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
149 allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
151 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
153 This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
154 ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
155 that does not end in ".stan".
157 For more information and usage examples, visit
158 http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
159 **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
160 =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
161 database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
172 *** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
173 PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
175 *** Rewrite of radio lists
176 Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
177 rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
178 parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
180 *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
181 Used like org-bbdb-anniversaries, it provides a few days warning
182 for upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
183 *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
184 If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
185 information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
187 See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
188 *** Support for ISO week trees
189 ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
190 by ISO week and not by month.
197 : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
199 They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
200 ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
201 *** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
202 Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
203 string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
204 position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
206 *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
207 When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
208 an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
210 On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
212 *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
213 It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
214 *** ~org-show-children~
215 It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
218 *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
219 Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
220 *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
221 Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
222 *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
223 Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
225 *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
226 Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
227 *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
228 Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
229 The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
231 *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
232 Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
233 *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
234 A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
235 now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
237 *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
238 Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
240 *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
241 It was not called by any org code since 2010.
243 *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
244 The affected functions are:
247 - ~org-remove-if-not~
252 Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
253 the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
254 end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
257 *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
258 This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
259 Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
260 let those libraries operate.
261 *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
262 Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
264 *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
265 fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
267 *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
269 *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
270 Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
271 current projet. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
274 *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
275 The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
278 *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
279 Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
280 However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
281 the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
282 placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
283 very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
285 Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
286 template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
287 expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
288 another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
290 *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
291 Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
292 to the article's original group.
294 *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
295 The calling convention has changed.
296 *** HTML export table row customization changes
297 Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
298 ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
299 Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
300 called with 6 parameters.
302 *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
305 ** Incompatible changes
307 *** Properties drawers syntax changes
309 Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
310 headline and its planning line, when applicable.
312 It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
313 logged before the property drawer.
315 The following function will repair them:
317 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
318 (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
319 "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
320 Ignore non Org buffers."
321 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
322 (org-with-wide-buffer
323 (goto-char (point-min))
324 (let ((case-fold-search t)
325 (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
326 (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
330 (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
332 (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
334 (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
335 (when (and (< (point) end)
336 (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
338 (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
339 (eq (org-element-type
340 (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
342 (insert (delete-and-extract-region
344 (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
345 (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
348 *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
350 If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
351 exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
352 is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
353 into account when exporting.
355 If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
356 for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
358 *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
360 It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
361 the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
364 =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
365 properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
370 :CATEGORY: some category
374 *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
376 ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
377 and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
378 controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
381 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
383 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
384 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
386 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
387 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
389 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
391 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
392 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
394 *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
396 The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
397 ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-next-visible-heading~ respectively,
398 rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these functions. The Org
399 version of these functions skips over inline tasks (and even-level
400 headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
402 *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
404 ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
405 =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
407 *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
409 If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
410 org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
411 org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
413 *** Functions signature changes
415 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
416 docstring for more information.
418 - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
419 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
420 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
421 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
422 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
426 *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
428 If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
429 without changing the headline.
431 *** Hierarchies of tags
432 The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
433 This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
434 in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
436 The following in-buffer definition:
438 ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
439 ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
440 ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
443 Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
452 Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
453 on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
455 There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
457 *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
458 Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
459 don't have to be distinct on a heading.
461 Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
462 already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
463 non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: {
464 } can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the
465 given tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
467 [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
473 This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
476 *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
477 Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
480 The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
483 : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
485 Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
486 regular expression matches for P@.+. Good for example if tags for a
487 certain project is tagged with a common project-identifier,
490 *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
491 Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filter all of the related tags.
492 Exception if filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
494 Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
497 If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
498 is also used as a filter.
500 *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
501 Now uses the argument arg and optional argument exclude instead of
502 strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
503 makes more sense than strip now. The term narrowing is changed to
506 The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
507 filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
509 *** Babel: support for sed scripts
511 Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
513 *** Babel: support for Processing language
515 New ob-processing.el library.
517 This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
518 of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
519 external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
521 Check the documentation for more.
523 Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
525 *** New behaviour for `org-toggle-latex-fragment'
526 The new behaviour is the following:
528 - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument
529 when point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the
532 - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
535 - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
537 - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
539 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
541 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
542 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
544 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
546 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
547 possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
550 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
552 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
553 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
554 ~org-drawers~ variable.
556 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
558 Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
559 mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
560 "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
561 configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
563 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
565 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
566 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
567 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
570 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
572 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
575 *** New option in ASCII export
577 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
578 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
580 *** New blocks in ASCII export
582 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
583 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
585 *** More back-end specific publishing options
587 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
588 increased. See manual for details.
590 *** Export inline source blocks
592 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
593 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
594 in the output, depending on the parameters.
596 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
598 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
600 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
602 *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
604 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
606 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
607 more features. See docstring for details.
609 *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
611 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
613 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
614 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
616 *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
618 : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
620 : This sentence is false.
623 will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
625 *** Various improvements on radio tables
627 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
628 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
629 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
630 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
631 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
632 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
634 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
636 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
637 source blocks exported by the minted package.
639 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
641 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
642 would throw an error. A new variable
643 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
644 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
645 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
649 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
652 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
654 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
655 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
657 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
659 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
661 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
663 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
664 now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
665 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
667 *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
669 See docstring for more information.
671 *** Export unnumbered headlines
673 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
674 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
675 property is inherited by children.
677 *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
679 It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
680 through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
681 keys, to sort a table.
683 *** Table of contents can be local to a section
685 The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See
688 *** Countdown timers can now be paused
690 ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
693 *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
695 When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
696 displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
698 *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
700 It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
701 ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
703 *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
705 It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
706 ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
709 *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
711 It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
712 title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
714 *** New entities family: "\_ "
716 "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
717 back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
718 leading spaces within table cells.
720 *** New MathJax configuration options
722 Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
723 of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
725 *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
727 When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
728 `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
729 `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
731 However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
732 =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
733 value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
734 keywords and properties.
736 *** Viewport support in html export
738 Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
739 when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
741 *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
743 Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
746 *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
748 Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
749 allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in
750 a dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
752 *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
754 Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
755 added to headline text.
757 *** Support for images in Texinfo export
759 ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See manual for details.
761 *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
763 Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
764 of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
767 *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
769 In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
770 set using the hh:mm:ss format.
772 *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
774 ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for
775 the number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original
776 subtree and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
778 *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
780 It encompasses all past closed clocks.
782 *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
784 See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
785 ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
787 *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
789 *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
793 *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
795 Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
797 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
799 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
800 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
801 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
802 accessible from the export dispatcher.
804 *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
806 ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
808 *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
810 This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
811 references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
813 *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
815 The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
818 *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
820 These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
821 anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
824 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
826 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
829 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
830 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
832 *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
834 Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
835 body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
838 *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
840 Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
841 everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
843 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
845 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
846 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
847 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
848 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
849 this variable locally.
851 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
853 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
854 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
855 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
856 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
857 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
859 *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
861 Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
862 would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
865 *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
867 Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
869 *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
871 This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
873 *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
875 This variable has no effect since August 2009.
877 *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
879 MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
880 end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
881 ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
882 ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
884 *** Removed comment-related filters
886 ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
887 ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
891 *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
893 ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
895 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
897 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
898 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
900 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
902 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
903 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
906 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
908 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
909 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
911 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
913 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
915 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
917 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
918 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
919 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
920 particular test failure was introduced.
922 *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
924 Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
925 the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as
926 well as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~
927 when ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
929 *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
931 New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
932 Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
934 *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
936 If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
937 ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~
940 *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
942 This helps spotting wrong links.
945 ** Incompatible changes
946 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
947 This may require two changes in user config.
949 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
950 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
951 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
953 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
955 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
956 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
957 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
959 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
960 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
962 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
966 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
968 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
970 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
971 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
972 option keywords like :html-include-style.
974 So you need to replace
976 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
980 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
982 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
983 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
985 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
987 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
988 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
989 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
991 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
992 the other optional arguments accordingly.
994 *** Export back-ends are now structures
996 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
997 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
998 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
1001 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
1003 ** Important bugfixes
1005 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
1006 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
1008 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
1010 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
1011 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
1012 separator starting a TOTO match string.
1015 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
1017 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
1019 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
1021 - Support SVG images
1022 - Support for .pgf files
1023 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
1024 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
1025 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
1026 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
1027 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
1028 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
1029 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
1031 *** New functions for paragraph motion
1033 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
1034 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
1035 in a paragraph-like way.
1037 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1039 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
1040 dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
1041 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
1042 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
1043 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
1045 *** Anonymous export back-ends
1047 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
1048 which can then be passed to export functions like
1049 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
1051 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
1052 registering a new back-end.
1054 *** New agenda fortnight view
1056 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
1057 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
1060 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
1062 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
1063 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
1065 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
1066 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
1067 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
1069 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
1070 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
1072 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
1073 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
1074 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
1075 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
1076 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
1079 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
1081 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
1083 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
1085 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
1087 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
1089 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
1091 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
1093 If you set this to the following
1095 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
1097 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
1099 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
1101 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
1103 ** New contributed packages
1105 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
1106 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
1109 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
1110 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
1114 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
1116 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
1117 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
1118 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
1119 the same with example blocks.
1121 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
1128 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
1130 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
1133 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
1134 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
1135 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
1137 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
1138 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
1139 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
1140 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
1141 detailed explanations.
1143 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
1144 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
1145 function has been called already.
1147 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
1150 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
1152 ** Incompatible changes
1154 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
1156 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
1158 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
1159 you will have to update them.
1161 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
1163 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
1164 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
1166 **** New export engine
1168 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
1169 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
1170 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
1171 /all/ export back-ends.
1173 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
1174 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
1175 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
1176 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
1177 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
1179 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
1180 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
1182 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
1183 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
1184 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
1185 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
1187 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
1189 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
1191 should now be written
1193 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
1195 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
1196 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
1197 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
1199 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
1201 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
1203 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
1206 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
1207 remember templates into capture templates.
1209 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
1211 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
1212 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
1214 **** Note for third-party developers
1216 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
1217 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
1218 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
1220 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
1223 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
1225 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
1226 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
1227 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
1229 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
1230 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
1231 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
1234 - org-colview-xemacs.el
1235 - org-mac-message.el
1241 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
1242 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
1243 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
1245 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
1246 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
1248 ** New packages in core
1250 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
1252 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
1254 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
1256 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
1258 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
1260 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
1261 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
1263 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
1265 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
1267 ** New packages in contrib
1269 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
1271 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
1273 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
1276 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
1278 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
1279 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
1281 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
1284 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
1286 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
1288 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
1290 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
1292 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
1293 for starting headlines.
1295 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
1297 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
1298 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
1299 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
1300 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
1302 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
1304 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
1306 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
1308 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
1309 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
1312 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
1313 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
1316 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
1318 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
1319 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
1322 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
1323 conversion from Org files to groff.
1325 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
1327 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
1329 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
1331 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
1332 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
1339 **** New export generic options
1341 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
1342 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
1344 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
1346 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
1347 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
1348 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
1349 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
1351 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
1352 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
1353 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
1354 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
1355 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
1356 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
1357 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
1358 contains time-stamps.
1360 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
1361 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
1362 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
1364 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
1366 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
1368 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
1370 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
1372 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
1373 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
1374 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
1375 *** Structure editing
1377 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
1378 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
1380 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
1381 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
1383 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
1385 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
1386 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
1387 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
1388 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
1391 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
1393 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
1394 _words__= will preserve markup.
1396 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
1398 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
1399 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
1400 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
1402 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
1404 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
1405 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
1407 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
1409 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
1410 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
1411 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
1412 forward and backward.
1414 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
1415 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
1417 Now Org will sort this list
1419 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
1420 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
1424 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
1425 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
1427 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
1428 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
1429 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
1431 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
1432 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
1433 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
1435 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
1438 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
1440 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
1441 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
1442 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
1444 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
1446 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
1447 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
1448 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
1449 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
1451 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
1453 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
1454 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
1455 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
1456 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
1457 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
1459 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
1461 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
1462 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
1463 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
1465 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
1466 *** Scheduled/deadline
1468 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
1470 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
1471 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
1472 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
1473 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
1475 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
1476 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
1477 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
1478 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
1480 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
1481 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
1482 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
1483 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
1484 control this globally or per agenda.
1486 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
1488 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
1490 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
1492 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
1493 *** Calendar, diary and appts
1495 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
1497 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
1498 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
1499 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
1501 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1502 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
1503 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
1505 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
1506 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
1508 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
1511 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
1513 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
1514 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
1515 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
1517 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
1519 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
1520 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
1521 only show their description, not the full links.
1524 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
1526 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
1527 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
1528 want to build a list of appointments.
1530 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
1531 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
1533 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
1535 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
1537 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
1538 time value (i.e. appointments).
1540 **** New agenda sorting strategies
1542 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
1544 | Strategy | Explanations |
1545 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
1546 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
1547 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
1548 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
1549 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
1550 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
1551 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
1552 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
1553 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
1554 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
1555 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
1557 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
1559 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
1560 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
1561 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
1563 These new options are available:
1565 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
1566 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
1567 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
1568 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
1570 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
1571 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
1572 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
1574 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
1575 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
1576 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
1577 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
1578 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
1579 non-tagged headlines.
1581 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
1583 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
1584 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
1585 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
1586 that take only =N= minutes.
1588 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
1590 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
1591 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
1592 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
1594 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
1596 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
1597 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
1599 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
1601 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
1602 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
1604 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
1607 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
1609 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
1610 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
1611 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
1613 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
1614 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
1616 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
1618 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
1619 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
1621 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
1623 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
1625 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
1626 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
1629 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
1631 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
1632 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
1633 asks for a confirmation.
1635 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
1637 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
1638 the mark of the entry at point.
1640 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
1641 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
1643 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
1645 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
1646 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
1649 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
1651 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
1652 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
1654 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
1656 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
1657 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
1659 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
1661 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
1662 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
1663 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
1664 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
1666 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1668 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
1669 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
1670 repeated beyond the current deadline.
1672 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
1674 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
1675 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
1676 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
1677 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
1679 Read the full docstring for details.
1681 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
1683 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
1686 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
1689 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
1691 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
1692 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
1695 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
1697 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
1698 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
1700 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
1702 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1703 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
1704 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
1705 check against the name of the buffer.
1708 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
1709 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
1710 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
1713 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
1714 agenda views, and for filtering.
1716 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
1720 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
1722 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
1723 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
1724 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
1726 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
1727 as if the protocol was not known.
1729 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
1731 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
1733 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
1734 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
1735 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
1738 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
1740 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
1741 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
1742 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
1744 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
1746 When storing a link to a headline like
1748 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
1750 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
1751 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
1752 there is no description.
1755 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
1757 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
1758 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
1759 those other formulas.
1761 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
1763 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
1764 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
1765 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
1768 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
1770 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
1771 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
1772 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
1775 **** New lookup functions
1777 There are now three lookup functions:
1779 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
1780 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
1781 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
1783 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
1784 *** Startup keywords
1786 These new startup keywords are now available:
1788 | Startup keyword | Option |
1789 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1790 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
1791 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
1792 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1793 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
1794 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
1795 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1796 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
1797 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
1801 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
1803 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
1804 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
1805 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
1806 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
1808 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
1810 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
1811 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
1812 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1815 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1816 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1818 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1820 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1821 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1823 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1825 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1826 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1827 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1829 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1830 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1831 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1832 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1833 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1834 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1835 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1838 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1840 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1842 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1844 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1845 same target than the block at point.
1847 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1849 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1850 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1851 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1853 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1854 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1857 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1859 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1860 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1861 manual for a usage example.
1863 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1865 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1866 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1867 collecting blocks for tangling.
1869 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1870 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1872 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1873 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1874 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1875 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1877 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1878 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.

1910 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
1912 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1914 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1916 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1918 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1919 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1920 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1921 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1922 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1923 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1924 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1925 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1927 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
1929 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
1930 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
1932 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1934 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1935 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1936 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1940 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1942 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1943 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1946 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1947 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1948 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1949 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1950 agenda type to this variable.
1952 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1955 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1956 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1957 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1958 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1960 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1962 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1963 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1964 invisible) blocked tasks.
1966 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1968 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1969 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1971 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1973 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1974 ** No GPL manual anymore
1976 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1977 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1979 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1981 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1983 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1984 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1985 in most environments.
1989 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1991 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1993 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1994 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
1997 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
1998 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
1999 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
2002 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/

2022 ** New package and Babel language
2024 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
2026 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
2028 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
2029 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
2031 ** Incompatible changes
2033 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
2034 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
2036 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
2039 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
2040 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
2041 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
2043 ** New features and user-visible changes
2047 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
2048 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
2049 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
2050 core and many core functions rely on this package.
2052 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
2053 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
2055 See the docstrings for more details.
2057 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
2058 on =org-element.el=.
2060 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
2062 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
2063 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
2064 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
2065 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
2067 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
2069 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
2070 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
2071 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
2072 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
2074 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
2076 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
2078 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
2080 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
2083 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
2084 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
2086 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
2087 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
2088 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
2091 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
2094 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
2095 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
2096 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
2098 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
2099 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
2100 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
2105 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
2107 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
2108 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
2109 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
2110 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
2112 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
2113 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
2114 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
2115 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
2116 generating new ones.
2118 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
2121 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
2123 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
2124 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
2127 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2128 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
2129 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
2132 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
2133 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
2134 details on how to use this.
2136 **** Changes in bulk actions
2138 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
2139 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
2141 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
2142 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
2143 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
2144 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
2145 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
2147 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
2148 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
2150 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
2151 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
2154 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
2156 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
2158 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
2160 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
2161 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
2163 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
2165 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
2166 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
2167 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
2168 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
2171 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
2173 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
2176 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
2177 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
2178 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
2179 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
2180 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
2183 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
2185 See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
2187 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
2189 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
2190 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
2191 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
2192 filters and category filters.
2194 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
2195 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
2198 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
2199 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
2200 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
2205 **** Inserting links
2207 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
2208 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
2209 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
2212 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
2213 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
2214 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
2215 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
2217 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
2220 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
2222 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
2223 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
2224 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
2225 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
2227 **** New link type =help=
2229 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
2231 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
2232 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
2233 you go back to the same buffer.
2235 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
2237 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
2238 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
2241 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
2243 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
2245 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
2247 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
2249 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
2251 **** RET now follows time stamps links
2255 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
2257 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
2258 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
2259 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
2260 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
2262 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
2264 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
2265 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
2266 all headlines in the region.
2268 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
2270 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
2272 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
2273 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
2275 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
2277 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
2279 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
2281 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
2283 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
2285 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
2286 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
2287 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
2292 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
2294 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
2296 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
2298 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
2299 clocked entry, if any.
2301 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
2303 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
2305 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
2307 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
2308 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
2311 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
2312 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
2313 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
2317 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
2319 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
2322 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
2324 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
2325 cells in clockreport.
2327 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
2328 time cells in clockreport.
2331 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
2333 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
2334 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
2336 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
2337 in the mode line and/or frame title.
2339 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
2340 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
2341 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
2342 space in the frame title.
2346 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
2348 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
2349 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
2350 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
2351 don't want to see temporarily.
2353 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
2355 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
2357 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
2359 There are these new entities:
2361 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
2362 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
2363 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
2364 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
2365 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
2366 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
2368 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
2369 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
2370 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
2372 The face is back to a normal height.
2376 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
2377 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
2379 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
2380 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
2382 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
2384 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
2385 block will use its value as the column format.
2387 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
2389 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
2391 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
2393 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
2395 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
2396 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
2397 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
2398 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
2400 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
2404 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
2406 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
2408 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
2410 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
2412 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
2413 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
2414 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
2416 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
2418 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
2419 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
2420 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
2424 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
2426 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
2427 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
2428 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
2429 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
2431 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
2433 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
2434 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
2437 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2438 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
2439 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
2442 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
2443 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
2444 more details on how to use this.
2446 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
2447 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
2449 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
2450 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
2453 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
2455 See the manual for more explanations.
2457 **** More control over empty lines
2459 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
2460 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
2463 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
2465 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
2469 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
2471 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
2472 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
2473 available) to print beautiful tables.
2475 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
2477 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
2478 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
2481 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
2483 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
2484 in the #+DATE option.
2486 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
2488 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
2490 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
2491 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
2493 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
2494 More languages are always welcome.
2496 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
2498 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
2499 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
2501 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
2502 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
2503 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
2504 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
2505 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
2506 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
2508 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
2509 to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
2513 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
2515 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
2518 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
2520 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
2521 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
2523 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
2525 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
2527 It used to exports the results of the code.
2531 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
2532 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
2534 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
2535 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
2537 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
2539 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
2540 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
2541 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
2543 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
2544 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
2546 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
2547 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
2548 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
2551 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
2553 This will increment the effort value.
2555 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
2557 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
2559 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
2560 attach symbolic links.
2562 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
2564 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
2566 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
2567 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
2569 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
2571 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
2573 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
2574 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
2575 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
2577 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
2579 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
2580 all top level list items.
2582 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
2584 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
2586 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
2587 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
2589 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
2591 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
2593 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
2594 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
2595 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
2596 first headline in the region.
2598 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
2600 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
2603 ** Important bug fixes
2605 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
2607 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
2608 perform completion with meaningful values.
2610 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
2612 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
2613 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
2614 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
2616 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
2617 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
2619 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
2620 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
2623 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
2624 the code and the license to your needs.
2626 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
2627 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
2631 ** Incompatible changes
2633 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
2635 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
2637 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
2639 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
2640 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
2641 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
2642 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
2645 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
2647 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
2648 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
2649 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
2651 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
2653 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
2654 =org-agenda-span= instead.
2656 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
2658 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
2660 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
2661 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
2662 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
2663 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
2664 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
2666 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
2667 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
2668 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
2669 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
2670 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
2671 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
2673 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
2674 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
2675 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
2678 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
2681 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
2682 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
2683 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
2684 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
2686 The two new variables are:
2688 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
2689 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
2690 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
2691 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
2692 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
2693 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
2694 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
2696 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
2697 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
2700 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
2703 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
2704 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
2705 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
2706 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
2708 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
2709 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
2710 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
2711 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
2714 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
2715 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
2716 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
2717 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
2718 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
2719 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
2722 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
2723 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
2724 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
2725 applies to the following packages:
2743 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
2744 you are using, you can remove it from
2745 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
2746 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
2749 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
2750 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
2751 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
2752 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
2753 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
2756 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
2758 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
2759 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
2760 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
2763 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
2765 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
2767 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
2769 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
2771 ** Important new features
2773 *** New Org to ODT exporter
2775 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
2777 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
2778 for more information on how to customize it.
2780 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
2782 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
2783 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
2784 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
2785 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
2787 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
2788 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
2789 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
2791 To switch over to the new system:
2795 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
2797 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
2798 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
2799 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
2800 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
2801 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
2803 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
2805 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
2808 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
2811 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
2813 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2814 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2815 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2816 with using both system in parallel.
2820 *** New Org libraries
2821 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2823 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2825 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2827 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2829 To use, put the following in your init file:
2832 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2835 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2836 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2837 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2838 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2839 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2840 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2841 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2842 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2843 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2846 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2848 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2849 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2851 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2853 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2854 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2855 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2858 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2859 call function to do something special with text links.
2861 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2863 **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
2865 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2866 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2867 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2870 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2872 Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
2874 *** New Babel libraries
2876 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2877 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2878 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2879 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2880 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2881 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2882 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2884 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2888 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2890 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2891 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2892 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2893 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2894 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2895 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2897 The key new functions are
2899 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2900 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2901 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2903 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2904 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2906 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2907 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2909 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2910 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2912 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2914 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2915 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2916 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2918 **** Modified link escaping
2920 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2922 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2923 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2924 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2925 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2928 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2929 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2930 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2931 : percent escaped links are solved.
2933 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2935 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2937 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2938 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2940 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2942 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2944 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2945 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2946 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2947 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2948 string to be executed.
2950 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2951 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2955 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2956 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2959 Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
2963 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2965 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2966 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2967 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2968 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2970 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2971 will work on the current entry.
2973 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2974 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2976 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2978 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2980 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2983 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2984 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2989 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2991 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2992 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2993 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2995 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
2997 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
2998 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
2999 entries using a function.
3001 Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
3002 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
3003 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
3005 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
3007 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
3008 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
3009 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
3011 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
3013 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
3014 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
3015 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
3016 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
3017 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
3018 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
3020 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
3024 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
3026 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
3027 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
3029 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
3030 docstring of these variable for details about available
3033 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
3034 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
3035 formatting string will insert a string.
3037 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
3039 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
3040 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
3041 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
3042 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
3043 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
3044 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
3045 C-e u=, respectively.
3047 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
3048 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
3049 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
3050 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
3051 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
3054 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
3056 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
3057 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
3059 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
3061 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
3062 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
3064 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
3066 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
3067 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
3068 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
3069 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
3070 section]] in the manual for more details.
3072 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
3073 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
3074 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
3079 **** Refile targets can now be cached
3081 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
3082 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
3083 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
3084 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
3085 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
3087 **** New logging support for refiling
3089 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
3090 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
3093 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
3097 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
3099 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
3103 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
3105 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
3106 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
3108 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
3110 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
3111 the displayed in the buffer.
3113 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
3115 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
3117 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
3118 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
3120 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
3121 |--------+--------+---------|
3122 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
3123 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
3125 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
3128 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
3131 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
3133 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
3135 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
3136 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
3143 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
3144 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
3147 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
3149 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
3151 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
3152 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
3154 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
3158 **** Improved handling of lists
3160 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
3162 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
3163 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
3164 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
3167 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
3168 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
3169 counters like [@c] or [@W].
3171 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
3172 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
3173 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
3174 `org-list-export-context'.
3176 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
3177 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
3178 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
3180 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
3181 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
3182 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
3183 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
3184 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
3186 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
3187 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
3188 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
3190 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
3192 *** Inline display of linked images
3194 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
3195 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
3196 that have no description part will be inlined.
3198 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
3200 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
3201 from 1, you can now do it like this:
3203 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
3205 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
3207 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
3208 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
3209 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
3210 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
3211 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
3212 into account all header arguments, and variables.
3214 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
3215 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
3216 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
3219 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
3220 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
3221 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
3222 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
3223 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
3224 properties or in tables.
3226 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
3227 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
3228 names, and rownames across all languages.
3230 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
3232 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
3234 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
3235 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
3236 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
3238 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
3240 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
3241 request by Scott Otterson.
3243 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
3245 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
3246 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
3247 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
3248 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
3249 superscripts, see the variable
3250 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
3252 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
3254 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
3256 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
3257 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
3258 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
3259 following new faces:
3261 =org-document-title=
3263 =org-document-info-keyword=
3265 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
3266 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
3268 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
3270 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
3272 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
3273 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
3274 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
3275 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
3276 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
3277 property is affected by this setting.
3279 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
3280 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
3282 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
3284 Requested by Michael Brand.
3286 **** Better level cycling function
3288 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
3289 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
3290 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
3291 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
3293 **** Adaptive filling
3295 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
3296 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
3297 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
3298 comments to be filled correctly.
3300 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
3302 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
3304 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
3306 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
3308 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
3309 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
3311 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
3315 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
3317 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
3318 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
3319 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
3320 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
3322 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
3324 **** Localized clock tables
3326 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
3327 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
3328 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
3329 available translated strings.
3331 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
3333 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
3334 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
3335 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
3336 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
3338 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
3340 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
3342 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
3343 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
3344 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
3345 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
3348 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
3352 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
3354 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
3355 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
3357 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
3359 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
3361 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
3362 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
3363 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
3366 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
3369 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
3371 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
3372 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
3377 org-table-current-line
3381 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
3383 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
3384 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
3387 This was requested by Tom.
3389 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
3391 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
3392 example by viewing from the agenda.
3394 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
