12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
14 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
15 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
16 *** Remove ~export-block~ element type
17 For export back-end developers.
19 So called "Export blocks" are now raw "Special blocks". As
20 a consequence ~export-block~ type doesn't exist anymore in parser, and
21 should not have a translator associated in an export back-end.
23 In order to tell the difference between a special block and a former
24 export block, a new predicate, ~org-export-raw-special-block-p~ is
27 To put it simply, two steps may be needed to update a back-end
28 defining export blocks.
30 1. Remove any ~org-BACKEND-export-block~ function, associated filter
31 and remove ~export-block~ entry from back-end definition. This
32 step can be omitted if you want to preserve backward-compatibility
33 with Org 8.2. In this case, the function and filter will be used
34 in Org 8.2 but ignored in Org 8.3.
36 2. If there is a translator for special blocks, e.g.,
37 ~org-BACKEND-special-block~, first check if the current block is an
38 export block using the predicate and, if that is true, simply
39 insert raw value, obtained through block's ~:raw-value~
42 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
43 (defun org-latex-special-block (special-block contents info)
44 (if (org-export-raw-special-block-p special-block info)
45 (org-element-property :raw-value special-block)
46 ;; Usual handling for special blocks goes here.
50 Note that If BACKEND is a derived back-end and doesn't implement
51 its own special block translator already, there is nothing to
52 change. The parent back-end will take care of such blocks.
54 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
55 docstring for more information.
56 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
57 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
58 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
59 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
61 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
62 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
63 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
64 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
65 accessible from the export dispatcher.
67 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
68 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
71 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
72 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
73 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
74 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
75 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
76 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
77 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
78 this variable locally.
79 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
80 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
81 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
82 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
83 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
84 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
86 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
87 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
88 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
89 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
90 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
91 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
92 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
94 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
95 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
96 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
97 ~org-drawers~ variable.
98 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
99 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
101 *** New blocks in ASCII export
102 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
103 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
104 *** More back-end specific publishing options
105 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
106 increased. See manual for details.
107 *** Export inline source blocks
108 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
109 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
110 in the output, depending on the parameters.
111 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
112 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
113 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
115 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
116 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
117 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
118 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
119 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
120 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
122 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
123 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
124 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
125 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
126 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
127 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
128 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
129 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
130 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
131 particular test failure was introduced.
134 ** Incompatible changes
135 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
136 This may require two changes in user config.
138 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
139 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
140 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
142 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
144 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
145 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
146 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
148 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
149 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
151 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
155 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
157 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
159 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
160 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
161 option keywords like :html-include-style.
163 So you need to replace
165 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
169 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
171 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
172 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
174 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
176 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
177 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
178 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
180 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
181 the other optional arguments accordingly.
183 *** Export back-ends are now structures
185 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
186 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
187 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
190 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
192 ** Important bugfixes
194 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
195 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
197 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
199 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
200 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
201 separator starting a TOTO match string.
204 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
206 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
208 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
211 - Support for .pgf files
212 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
213 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
214 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
215 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
216 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
217 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
218 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
220 *** New functions for paragraph motion
222 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
223 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
224 in a paragraph-like way.
226 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
228 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
229 dalet, cdots, S (ยง), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
230 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
231 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
232 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
234 *** Anonymous export back-ends
236 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
237 which can then be passed to export functions like
238 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
240 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
241 registering a new back-end.
243 *** New agenda fortnight view
245 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
246 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
249 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
251 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
252 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
254 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
255 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
256 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
258 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
259 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
261 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
262 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
263 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
264 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
265 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
268 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
270 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
272 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
274 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
276 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
278 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
280 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
282 If you set this to the following
284 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
286 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
288 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
290 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
292 ** New contributed packages
294 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
295 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
298 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
299 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
303 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
305 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
306 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
307 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
308 the same with example blocks.
310 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
317 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
319 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
322 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
323 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
324 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
326 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
327 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
328 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
329 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
330 detailed explanations.
332 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
333 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
334 function has been called already.
336 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
339 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
341 ** Incompatible changes
343 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
345 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
347 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
348 you will have to update them.
350 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
352 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
353 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
355 **** New export engine
357 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
358 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
359 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
360 /all/ export back-ends.
362 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
363 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
364 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
365 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
366 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
368 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
369 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
371 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
372 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
373 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
374 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
376 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
378 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
380 should now be written
382 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
384 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
385 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
386 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
388 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
390 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
392 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
395 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
396 remember templates into capture templates.
398 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
400 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
401 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
403 **** Note for third-party developers
405 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
406 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
407 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
409 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
412 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
414 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
415 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
416 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
418 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
419 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
420 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
423 - org-colview-xemacs.el
430 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
431 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
432 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
434 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
435 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
437 ** New packages in core
439 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
441 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
443 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
445 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
447 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
449 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
450 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
452 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
454 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
456 ** New packages in contrib
458 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
460 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
462 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
465 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
467 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
468 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
470 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
473 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
475 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
477 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
479 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
481 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
482 for starting headlines.
484 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
486 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
487 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
488 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
489 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
491 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sรฉbastien Delafond
493 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
495 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
497 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
498 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
501 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
502 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
505 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
507 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
508 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
511 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
512 conversion from Org files to groff.
514 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
516 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
518 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
520 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
521 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
528 **** New export generic options
530 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
531 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
533 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
535 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
536 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
537 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
538 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
540 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
541 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
542 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
543 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
544 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
545 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
546 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
547 contains time-stamps.
549 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
550 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
551 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
553 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
555 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
557 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
559 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
561 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
562 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
563 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
564 *** Structure editing
566 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
567 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
569 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
570 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
572 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
574 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
575 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
576 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
577 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
580 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
582 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
583 _words__= will preserve markup.
585 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
587 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
588 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
589 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
591 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
593 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
594 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
596 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
598 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
599 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
600 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
601 forward and backward.
603 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
604 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
606 Now Org will sort this list
608 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
609 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
613 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
614 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
616 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
617 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
618 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
620 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
621 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
622 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
624 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
627 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
629 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
630 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
631 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
633 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
635 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
636 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
637 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
638 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
640 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
642 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
643 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
644 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
645 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
646 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
648 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
650 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
651 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
652 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
654 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
655 *** Scheduled/deadline
657 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
659 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
660 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
661 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
662 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
664 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
665 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
666 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
667 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
669 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
670 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
671 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
672 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
673 control this globally or per agenda.
675 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
677 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
679 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
681 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
682 *** Calendar, diary and appts
684 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
686 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
687 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
688 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
690 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
691 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
692 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
694 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
695 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
697 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
700 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
702 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
703 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
704 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
706 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
708 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
709 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
710 only show their description, not the full links.
713 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
715 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
716 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
717 want to build a list of appointments.
719 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
720 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
722 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
724 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
726 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
727 time value (i.e. appointments).
729 **** New agenda sorting strategies
731 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
733 | Strategy | Explanations |
734 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
735 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
736 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
737 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
738 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
739 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
740 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
741 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
742 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
743 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
744 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
746 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
748 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
749 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
750 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
752 These new options are available:
754 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
755 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
756 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
757 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
759 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
760 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
761 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
763 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
764 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
765 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
766 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
767 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
768 non-tagged headlines.
770 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
772 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
773 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
774 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
775 that take only =N= minutes.
777 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
779 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
780 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
781 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
783 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
785 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
786 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
788 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
790 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
791 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
793 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
796 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
798 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
799 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
800 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
802 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
803 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
805 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
807 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
808 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
810 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
812 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
814 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
815 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
818 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
820 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
821 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
822 asks for a confirmation.
824 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
826 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
827 the mark of the entry at point.
829 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
830 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
832 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
834 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
835 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
838 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
840 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
841 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
843 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
845 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
846 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
848 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
850 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
851 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
852 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
853 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
855 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
857 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
858 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
859 repeated beyond the current deadline.
861 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
863 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
864 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
865 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
866 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
868 Read the full docstring for details.
870 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
872 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
875 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
878 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
880 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
881 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
884 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
886 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
887 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
889 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
891 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
892 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
893 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
894 check against the name of the buffer.
897 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
898 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
899 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
902 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
903 agenda views, and for filtering.
905 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
909 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
911 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
912 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
913 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
915 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
916 as if the protocol was not known.
918 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
920 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
922 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
923 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
924 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
927 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
929 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
930 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
931 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
933 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
935 When storing a link to a headline like
937 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
939 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
940 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
941 there is no description.
944 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
946 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
947 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
948 those other formulas.
950 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
952 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
953 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
954 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
957 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
959 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
960 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
961 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
964 **** New lookup functions
966 There are now three lookup functions:
968 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
969 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
970 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
972 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
975 These new startup keywords are now available:
977 | Startup keyword | Option |
978 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
979 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
980 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
981 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
982 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
983 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
984 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
985 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
986 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
990 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
992 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
993 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
994 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
995 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
997 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
999 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
1000 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
1001 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1004 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1005 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1007 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1009 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1010 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1012 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1014 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1015 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1016 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1018 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1019 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1020 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1021 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1022 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1023 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1024 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1027 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1029 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1031 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1033 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1034 same target than the block at point.
1036 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1038 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1039 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1040 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1042 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1043 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1046 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1048 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1049 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1050 manual for a usage example.
1052 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1054 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1055 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1056 collecting blocks for tangling.
1058 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1059 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1061 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1062 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1063 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1064 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1066 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1067 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
1070 - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default

1101 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1103 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1105 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1107 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by Franรงois Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1108 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1109 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1110 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1111 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1112 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1113 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1114 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1116 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
1118 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
1119 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
1121 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1123 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1124 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1125 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1129 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1131 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1132 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1135 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1136 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1137 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1138 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1139 agenda type to this variable.
1141 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1144 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1145 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1146 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1147 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1149 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1151 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1152 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1153 invisible) blocked tasks.
1155 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1157 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1158 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1160 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1162 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1163 ** No GPL manual anymore
1165 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1166 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1168 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1170 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1172 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1173 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1174 in most environments.
1178 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1180 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1182 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1183 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
1186 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
1187 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
1188 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
1191 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
1193 ** Overview of the new keybindings
1195 | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
1196 |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|
1197 | =C-c C-x C-z= | | [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]] |

1211 ** New package and Babel language
1213 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
1215 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
1217 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
1218 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
1220 ** Incompatible changes
1222 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
1223 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
1225 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
1228 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
1229 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
1230 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
1232 ** New features and user-visible changes
1236 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
1237 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
1238 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
1239 core and many core functions rely on this package.
1241 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
1242 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
1244 See the docstrings for more details.
1246 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
1247 on =org-element.el=.
1249 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
1251 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
1252 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
1253 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
1254 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
1256 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
1258 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
1259 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
1260 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
1261 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
1263 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
1265 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
1267 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
1269 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
1272 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
1273 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
1275 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
1276 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
1277 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
1280 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
1283 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
1284 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
1285 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
1287 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
1288 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
1289 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
1294 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
1296 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
1297 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
1298 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
1299 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
1301 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
1302 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
1303 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
1304 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
1305 generating new ones.
1307 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
1310 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1312 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1313 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
1316 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1317 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
1318 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
1321 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
1322 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
1323 details on how to use this.
1325 **** Changes in bulk actions
1327 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
1328 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
1330 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
1331 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
1332 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
1333 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
1334 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
1336 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
1337 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
1339 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
1340 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
1343 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
1345 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
1347 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
1349 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
1350 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
1352 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
1354 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
1355 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
1356 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
1357 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
1360 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1362 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
1365 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
1366 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
1367 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
1368 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
1369 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
1372 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
1374 See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
1376 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
1378 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
1379 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
1380 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
1381 filters and category filters.
1383 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
1384 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
1387 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
1388 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
1389 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
1394 **** Inserting links
1396 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
1397 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
1398 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
1401 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
1402 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
1403 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
1404 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
1406 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
1409 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
1411 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
1412 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
1413 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
1414 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
1416 **** New link type =help=
1418 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
1420 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
1421 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
1422 you go back to the same buffer.
1424 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
1426 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
1427 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
1430 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
1432 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
1434 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
1436 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
1438 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
1440 **** RET now follows time stamps links
1444 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
1446 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
1447 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
1448 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
1449 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
1451 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
1453 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
1454 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
1455 all headlines in the region.
1457 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
1459 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
1461 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
1462 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
1464 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
1466 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
1468 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
1470 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
1472 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
1474 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
1475 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
1476 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
1481 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
1483 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
1485 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
1487 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
1488 clocked entry, if any.
1490 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
1492 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
1494 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
1496 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
1497 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
1500 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
1501 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
1502 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
1506 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
1508 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
1511 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
1513 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
1514 cells in clockreport.
1516 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
1517 time cells in clockreport.
1520 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
1522 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
1523 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
1525 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
1526 in the mode line and/or frame title.
1528 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
1529 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
1530 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
1531 space in the frame title.
1535 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
1537 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
1538 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
1539 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
1540 don't want to see temporarily.
1542 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
1544 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
1546 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1548 There are these new entities:
1550 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
1551 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
1552 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
1553 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
1554 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
1555 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
1557 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
1558 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
1559 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
1561 The face is back to a normal height.
1565 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
1566 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
1568 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
1569 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
1571 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
1573 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
1574 block will use its value as the column format.
1576 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
1578 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
1580 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
1582 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
1584 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
1585 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
1586 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
1587 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
1589 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
1593 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
1595 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
1597 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
1599 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
1601 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
1602 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
1603 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
1605 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
1607 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
1608 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
1609 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
1613 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
1615 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
1616 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
1617 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
1618 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
1620 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
1622 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1623 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
1626 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1627 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
1628 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
1631 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
1632 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
1633 more details on how to use this.
1635 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
1636 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
1638 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
1639 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
1642 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
1644 See the manual for more explanations.
1646 **** More control over empty lines
1648 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
1649 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
1652 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
1654 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
1658 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
1660 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
1661 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
1662 available) to print beautiful tables.
1664 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
1666 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
1667 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
1670 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
1672 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
1673 in the #+DATE option.
1675 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
1677 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
1679 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
1680 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
1682 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
1683 More languages are always welcome.
1685 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
1687 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
1688 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
1690 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
1691 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
1692 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
1693 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
1694 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
1695 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
1697 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
1698 to Sรฉbastien Vauban for this patch.
1702 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
1704 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
1707 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
1709 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
1710 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
1712 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
1714 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
1716 It used to exports the results of the code.
1720 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
1721 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
1723 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
1724 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
1726 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
1728 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
1729 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
1730 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
1732 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
1733 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
1735 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
1736 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
1737 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
1740 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
1742 This will increment the effort value.
1744 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
1746 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
1748 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
1749 attach symbolic links.
1751 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
1753 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
1755 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
1756 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
1758 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
1760 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
1762 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
1763 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
1764 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
1766 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
1768 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
1769 all top level list items.
1771 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
1773 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
1775 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
1776 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
1778 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
1780 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
1782 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
1783 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
1784 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
1785 first headline in the region.
1787 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
1789 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
1792 ** Important bug fixes
1794 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
1796 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
1797 perform completion with meaningful values.
1799 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
1801 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
1802 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
1803 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1805 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
1806 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
1808 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
1809 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
1812 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
1813 the code and the license to your needs.
1815 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
1816 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
1820 ** Incompatible changes
1822 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
1824 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
1826 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
1828 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
1829 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
1830 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
1831 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
1834 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
1836 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
1837 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
1838 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
1840 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
1842 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
1843 =org-agenda-span= instead.
1845 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
1847 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
1849 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
1850 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
1851 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
1852 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
1853 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
1855 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
1856 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
1857 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
1858 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
1859 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
1860 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
1862 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
1863 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
1864 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
1867 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
1870 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
1871 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
1872 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
1873 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
1875 The two new variables are:
1877 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
1878 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
1879 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
1880 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
1881 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
1882 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
1883 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
1885 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
1886 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
1889 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
1892 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
1893 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
1894 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
1895 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
1897 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
1898 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
1899 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
1900 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
1903 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
1904 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
1905 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
1906 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
1907 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
1908 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
1911 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
1912 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
1913 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
1914 applies to the following packages:
1932 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
1933 you are using, you can remove it from
1934 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
1935 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
1938 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
1939 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
1940 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
1941 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
1942 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
1945 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
1947 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
1948 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
1949 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
1952 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
1954 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
1956 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
1958 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
1960 ** Important new features
1962 *** New Org to ODT exporter
1964 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
1966 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
1967 for more information on how to customize it.
1969 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
1971 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
1972 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
1973 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
1974 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
1976 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
1977 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
1978 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
1980 To switch over to the new system:
1984 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
1986 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
1987 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
1988 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
1989 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
1990 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
1992 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
1994 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
1997 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
2000 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
2002 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2003 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2004 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2005 with using both system in parallel.
2009 *** New Org libraries
2010 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2012 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2014 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2016 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2018 To use, put the following in your init file:
2021 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2024 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2025 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2026 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2027 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2028 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2029 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2030 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2031 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2032 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2035 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2037 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2038 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2040 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2042 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2043 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2044 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2047 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2048 call function to do something special with text links.
2050 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2052 **** org-docview.el (Jan Bรถcker)
2054 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2055 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2056 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2059 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2061 Thanks to Jan Bรถcker for this contribution.
2063 *** New Babel libraries
2065 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2066 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2067 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2068 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2069 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2070 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2071 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2073 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2077 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2079 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2080 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2081 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2082 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2083 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2084 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2086 The key new functions are
2088 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2089 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2090 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2092 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2093 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2095 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2096 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2098 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2099 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2101 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2103 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2104 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2105 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2107 **** Modified link escaping
2109 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2111 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2112 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2113 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2114 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2117 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2118 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2119 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2120 : percent escaped links are solved.
2122 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2124 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2126 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2127 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2129 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2131 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2133 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2134 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2135 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2136 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2137 string to be executed.
2139 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2140 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2144 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2145 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2148 Thanks to Jan Bรถcker for a patch to this effect.
2152 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2154 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2155 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2156 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2157 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2159 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2160 will work on the current entry.
2162 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2163 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2165 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2167 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2169 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2172 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2173 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2178 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2180 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2181 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2182 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2184 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
2186 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
2187 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
2188 entries using a function.
2190 Thanks to Peter Mรผnster for raising a related issue and to
2191 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Mรผnster for
2192 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
2194 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
2196 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
2197 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
2198 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
2200 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
2202 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
2203 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
2204 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
2205 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
2206 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
2207 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
2209 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
2213 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
2215 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
2216 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
2218 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
2219 docstring of these variable for details about available
2222 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
2223 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
2224 formatting string will insert a string.
2226 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
2228 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
2229 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
2230 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
2231 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
2232 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
2233 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
2234 C-e u=, respectively.
2236 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
2237 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
2238 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
2239 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
2240 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
2243 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
2245 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
2246 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
2248 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
2250 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
2251 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
2253 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
2255 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
2256 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
2257 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
2258 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
2259 section]] in the manual for more details.
2261 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
2262 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
2263 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
2268 **** Refile targets can now be cached
2270 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
2271 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
2272 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
2273 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
2274 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
2276 **** New logging support for refiling
2278 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
2279 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
2282 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
2286 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
2288 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
2292 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
2294 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
2295 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
2297 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
2299 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
2300 the displayed in the buffer.
2302 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
2304 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
2306 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
2307 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
2309 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
2310 |--------+--------+---------|
2311 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
2312 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
2314 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
2317 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
2320 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
2322 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
2324 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
2325 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
2332 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
2333 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
2336 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
2338 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
2340 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
2341 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
2343 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
2347 **** Improved handling of lists
2349 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
2351 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
2352 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
2353 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
2356 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
2357 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
2358 counters like [@c] or [@W].
2360 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
2361 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
2362 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
2363 `org-list-export-context'.
2365 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
2366 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
2367 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
2369 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
2370 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
2371 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
2372 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
2373 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
2375 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
2376 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
2377 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
2379 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
2381 *** Inline display of linked images
2383 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
2384 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
2385 that have no description part will be inlined.
2387 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
2389 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
2390 from 1, you can now do it like this:
2392 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
2394 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
2396 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
2397 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
2398 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
2399 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
2400 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
2401 into account all header arguments, and variables.
2403 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
2404 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
2405 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
2408 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
2409 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
2410 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
2411 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
2412 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
2413 properties or in tables.
2415 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
2416 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
2417 names, and rownames across all languages.
2419 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
2421 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
2423 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
2424 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
2425 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
2427 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
2429 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
2430 request by Scott Otterson.
2432 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
2434 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
2435 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
2436 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
2437 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
2438 superscripts, see the variable
2439 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
2441 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
2443 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
2445 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
2446 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
2447 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
2448 following new faces:
2450 =org-document-title=
2452 =org-document-info-keyword=
2454 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
2455 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
2457 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
2459 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
2461 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
2462 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
2463 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
2464 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
2465 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
2466 property is affected by this setting.
2468 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
2469 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
2471 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
2473 Requested by Michael Brand.
2475 **** Better level cycling function
2477 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
2478 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
2479 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
2480 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
2482 **** Adaptive filling
2484 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
2485 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
2486 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
2487 comments to be filled correctly.
2489 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
2491 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
2493 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
2495 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
2497 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
2498 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
2500 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
2504 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
2506 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
2507 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
2508 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
2509 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
2511 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
2513 **** Localized clock tables
2515 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
2516 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
2517 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
2518 available translated strings.
2520 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
2522 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
2523 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
2524 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
2525 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
2527 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
2529 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
2531 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
2532 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
2533 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
2534 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
2537 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
2541 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
2543 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
2544 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
2546 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
2548 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
2550 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
2551 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
2552 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
2555 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
2558 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
2560 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
2561 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
2566 org-table-current-line
2570 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
2572 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
2573 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
2576 This was requested by Tom.
2578 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
2580 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
2581 example by viewing from the agenda.
2583 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
