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.
53 *** ~org-html-format-headline-function~ requires an additional argument
54 The function provided is required to accept export options, as
55 a plist, as its final (sixth) argument.
56 *** ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~ requires an additional argument
57 The function provided is required to accept export options, as
58 a plist, as its final (seventh) argument.
60 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
61 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
62 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
63 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
64 accessible from the export dispatcher.
66 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
67 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
70 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
71 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
72 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
73 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
74 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
75 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
76 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
77 this variable locally.
78 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
79 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
80 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
81 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
82 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
83 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
85 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
86 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
87 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
88 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
89 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
90 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
91 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
93 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
94 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
95 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
96 ~org-drawers~ variable.
97 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
98 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
100 *** New blocks in ASCII export
101 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
102 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
103 *** More back-end specific publishing options
104 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
105 increased. See manual for details.
107 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
108 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
109 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
110 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
111 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
112 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
114 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
115 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
116 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
117 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
118 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
119 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
120 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
121 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
122 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
123 particular test failure was introduced.
126 ** Incompatible changes
127 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
128 This may require two changes in user config.
130 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
131 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
132 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
134 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
136 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
137 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
138 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
140 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
141 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
143 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
147 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
149 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
151 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
152 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
153 option keywords like :html-include-style.
155 So you need to replace
157 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
161 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
163 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
164 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
166 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
168 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
169 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
170 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
172 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
173 the other optional arguments accordingly.
175 *** Export back-ends are now structures
177 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
178 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
179 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
182 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
184 ** Important bugfixes
186 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
187 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
189 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
191 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
192 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
193 separator starting a TOTO match string.
196 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
198 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
200 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
203 - Support for .pgf files
204 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
205 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
206 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
207 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
208 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
209 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
210 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
212 *** New functions for paragraph motion
214 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
215 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
216 in a paragraph-like way.
218 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
220 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
221 dalet, cdots, S (ยง), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
222 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
223 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
224 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
226 *** Anonymous export back-ends
228 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
229 which can then be passed to export functions like
230 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
232 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
233 registering a new back-end.
235 *** New agenda fortnight view
237 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
238 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
241 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
243 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
244 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
246 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
247 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
248 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
250 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
251 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
253 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
254 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
255 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
256 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
257 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
260 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
262 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
264 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
266 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
268 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
270 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
272 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
274 If you set this to the following
276 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
278 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
280 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
282 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
284 ** New contributed packages
286 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
287 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
290 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
291 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
295 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
297 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
298 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
299 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
300 the same with example blocks.
302 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
309 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
311 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
314 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
315 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
316 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
318 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
319 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
320 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
321 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
322 detailed explanations.
324 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
325 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
326 function has been called already.
328 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
331 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
333 ** Incompatible changes
335 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
337 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
339 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
340 you will have to update them.
342 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
344 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
345 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
347 **** New export engine
349 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
350 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
351 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
352 /all/ export back-ends.
354 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
355 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
356 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
357 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
358 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
360 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
361 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
363 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
364 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
365 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
366 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
368 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
370 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
372 should now be written
374 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
376 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
377 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
378 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
380 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
382 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
384 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
387 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
388 remember templates into capture templates.
390 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
392 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
393 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
395 **** Note for third-party developers
397 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
398 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
399 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
401 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
404 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
406 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
407 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
408 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
410 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
411 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
412 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
415 - org-colview-xemacs.el
422 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
423 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
424 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
426 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
427 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
429 ** New packages in core
431 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
433 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
435 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
437 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
439 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
441 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
442 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
444 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
446 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
448 ** New packages in contrib
450 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
452 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
454 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
457 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
459 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
460 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
462 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
465 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
467 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
469 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
471 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
473 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
474 for starting headlines.
476 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
478 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
479 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
480 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
481 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
483 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sรฉbastien Delafond
485 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
487 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
489 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
490 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
493 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
494 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
497 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
499 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
500 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
503 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
504 conversion from Org files to groff.
506 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
508 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
510 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
512 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
513 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
520 **** New export generic options
522 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
523 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
525 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
527 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
528 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
529 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
530 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
532 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
533 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
534 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
535 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
536 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
537 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
538 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
539 contains time-stamps.
541 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
542 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
543 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
545 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
547 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
549 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
551 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
553 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
554 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
555 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
556 *** Structure editing
558 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
559 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
561 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
562 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
564 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
566 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
567 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
568 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
569 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
572 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
574 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
575 _words__= will preserve markup.
577 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
579 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
580 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
581 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
583 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
585 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
586 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
588 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
590 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
591 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
592 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
593 forward and backward.
595 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
596 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
598 Now Org will sort this list
600 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
601 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
605 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
606 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
608 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
609 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
610 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
612 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
613 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
614 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
616 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
619 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
621 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
622 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
623 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
625 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
627 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
628 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
629 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
630 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
632 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
634 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
635 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
636 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
637 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
638 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
640 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
642 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
643 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
644 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
646 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
647 *** Scheduled/deadline
649 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
651 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
652 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
653 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
654 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
656 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
657 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
658 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
659 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
661 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
662 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
663 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
664 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
665 control this globally or per agenda.
667 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
669 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
671 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
673 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
674 *** Calendar, diary and appts
676 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
678 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
679 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
680 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
682 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
683 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
684 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
686 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
687 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
689 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
692 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
694 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
695 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
696 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
698 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
700 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
701 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
702 only show their description, not the full links.
705 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
707 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
708 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
709 want to build a list of appointments.
711 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
712 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
714 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
716 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
718 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
719 time value (i.e. appointments).
721 **** New agenda sorting strategies
723 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
725 | Strategy | Explanations |
726 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
727 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
728 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
729 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
730 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
731 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
732 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
733 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
734 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
735 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
736 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
738 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
740 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
741 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
742 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
744 These new options are available:
746 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
747 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
748 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
749 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
751 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
752 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
753 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
755 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
756 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
757 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
758 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
759 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
760 non-tagged headlines.
762 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
764 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
765 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
766 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
767 that take only =N= minutes.
769 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
771 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
772 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
773 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
775 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
777 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
778 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
780 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
782 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
783 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
785 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
788 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
790 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
791 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
792 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
794 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
795 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
797 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
799 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
800 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
802 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
804 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
806 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
807 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
810 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
812 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
813 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
814 asks for a confirmation.
816 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
818 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
819 the mark of the entry at point.
821 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
822 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
824 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
826 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
827 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
830 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
832 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
833 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
835 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
837 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
838 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
840 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
842 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
843 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
844 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
845 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
847 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
849 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
850 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
851 repeated beyond the current deadline.
853 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
855 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
856 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
857 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
858 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
860 Read the full docstring for details.
862 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
864 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
867 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
870 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
872 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
873 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
876 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
878 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
879 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
881 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
883 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
884 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
885 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
886 check against the name of the buffer.
889 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
890 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
891 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
894 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
895 agenda views, and for filtering.
897 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
901 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
903 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
904 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
905 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
907 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
908 as if the protocol was not known.
910 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
912 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
914 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
915 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
916 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
919 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
921 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
922 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
923 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
925 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
927 When storing a link to a headline like
929 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
931 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
932 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
933 there is no description.
936 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
938 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
939 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
940 those other formulas.
942 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
944 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
945 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
946 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
949 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
951 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
952 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
953 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
956 **** New lookup functions
958 There are now three lookup functions:
960 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
961 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
962 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
964 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
967 These new startup keywords are now available:
969 | Startup keyword | Option |
970 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
971 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
972 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
973 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
974 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
975 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
976 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
977 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
978 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
982 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
984 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
985 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
986 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
987 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
989 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
991 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
992 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
993 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
996 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
997 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
999 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1001 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1002 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1004 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1006 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1007 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1008 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1010 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1011 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1012 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1013 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1014 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1015 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1016 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1019 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1021 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1023 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1025 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1026 same target than the block at point.
1028 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1030 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1031 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1032 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1034 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1035 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1038 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1040 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1041 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1042 manual for a usage example.
1044 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1046 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1047 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1048 collecting blocks for tangling.
1050 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1051 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1053 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1054 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1055 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1056 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1058 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1059 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.
1062 - Org now fontifies radio link targets by default
1063 - In the agenda, use [[doc:org-todo-keyword-faces][org-todo-keyword-faces]] to highlight selected TODO keywords
1064 - New face [[doc:org-priority][org-priority]], enhanced fontification of priority cookies in agenda

1073 - org-protocol: Pass optional value using query in url to capture from protocol
1074 - When the refile history is empty, use the current filename as default
1075 - When you cannot change the TODO state of a task, Org displays the blocking task
1076 - New option [[doc:org-mobile-allpriorities][org-mobile-allpriorities]]
1077 - org-bibtex.el now use =visual-line-mode= instead of the deprecated =longlines-mode=
1078 - [[doc:org-format-latex-options][org-format-latex-options]] allows to set the foreground/background colors automatically
1079 - New option [[doc:org-archive-file-header-format][org-archive-file-header-format]]
1080 - New "neg" entity in [[doc:org-entities][org-entities]]
1081 - New function [[doc:org-docview-export][org-docview-export]] to export docview links
1082 - New =:eps= header argument for ditaa code blocks
1083 - New option [[doc:org-gnus-no-server][org-gnus-no-server]] to start Gnus with =gnus-no-server=
1084 - Org is now distributed with =htmlize.el= version 1.43
1085 - ~org-drill.el~ has been updated to version 2.3.7
1086 - ~org-mac-iCal.el~ now supports MacOSX version up to 10.8

1091 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menรฉndez
1093 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1095 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1097 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1099 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by Franรงois Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1100 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1101 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1102 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1103 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1104 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1105 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be

1113 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1115 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1116 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1117 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1121 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1123 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1124 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1127 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1128 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1129 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1130 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1131 agenda type to this variable.
1133 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1136 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1137 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1138 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1139 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1141 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1143 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1144 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1145 invisible) blocked tasks.
1147 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1149 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1150 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1152 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1154 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1155 ** No GPL manual anymore
1157 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1158 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1160 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1162 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1164 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1165 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1166 in most environments.
1170 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1172 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1174 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1175 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
1178 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
1179 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
1180 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
1183 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/
1185 ** Overview of the new keybindings
1187 | Keybinding | Speedy | Command |
1188 |-----------------+--------+-----------------------------|
1189 | =C-c C-x C-z= | | [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]] |
1190 | =C-c C-x C-q= | | [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]] |

1203 ** New package and Babel language
1205 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
1207 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
1209 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
1210 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
1212 ** Incompatible changes
1214 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
1215 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
1217 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
1220 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
1221 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
1222 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
1224 ** New features and user-visible changes
1228 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
1229 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
1230 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
1231 core and many core functions rely on this package.
1233 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
1234 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
1236 See the docstrings for more details.
1238 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
1239 on =org-element.el=.
1241 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
1243 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
1244 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
1245 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
1246 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
1248 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
1250 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
1251 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
1252 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
1253 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
1255 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
1257 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
1259 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
1261 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
1264 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
1265 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
1267 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
1268 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
1269 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
1272 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
1275 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
1276 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
1277 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
1279 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
1280 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
1281 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
1286 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
1288 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
1289 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
1290 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
1291 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
1293 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
1294 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
1295 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
1296 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
1297 generating new ones.
1299 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
1302 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1304 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1305 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
1308 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1309 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
1310 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
1313 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
1314 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
1315 details on how to use this.
1317 **** Changes in bulk actions
1319 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
1320 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
1322 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
1323 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
1324 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
1325 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
1326 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
1328 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
1329 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
1331 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
1332 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
1335 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
1337 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
1339 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
1341 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
1342 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
1344 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
1346 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
1347 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
1348 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
1349 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
1352 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1354 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
1357 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
1358 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
1359 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
1360 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
1361 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
1364 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
1366 See the [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3Df426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
1368 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
1370 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
1371 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
1372 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
1373 filters and category filters.
1375 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
1376 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
1379 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
1380 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
1381 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
1386 **** Inserting links
1388 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
1389 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
1390 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
1393 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
1394 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
1395 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
1396 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
1398 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
1401 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
1403 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
1404 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
1405 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
1406 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
1408 **** New link type =help=
1410 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
1412 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
1413 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
1414 you go back to the same buffer.
1416 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
1418 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
1419 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
1422 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
1424 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
1426 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
1428 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
1430 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
1432 **** RET now follows time stamps links
1436 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
1438 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
1439 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
1440 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
1441 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
1443 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
1445 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
1446 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
1447 all headlines in the region.
1449 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
1451 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
1453 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
1454 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
1456 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
1458 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
1460 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
1462 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
1464 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
1466 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
1467 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
1468 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
1473 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
1475 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
1477 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
1479 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
1480 clocked entry, if any.
1482 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
1484 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
1486 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
1488 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
1489 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
1492 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
1493 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
1494 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
1498 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
1500 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
1503 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
1505 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
1506 cells in clockreport.
1508 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
1509 time cells in clockreport.
1512 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
1514 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
1515 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
1517 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
1518 in the mode line and/or frame title.
1520 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
1521 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
1522 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
1523 space in the frame title.
1527 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
1529 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
1530 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
1531 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
1532 don't want to see temporarily.
1534 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
1536 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
1538 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1540 There are these new entities:
1542 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
1543 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
1544 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
1545 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
1546 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
1547 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
1549 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
1550 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
1551 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
1553 The face is back to a normal height.
1557 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
1558 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
1560 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
1561 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
1563 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
1565 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
1566 block will use its value as the column format.
1568 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
1570 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
1572 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
1574 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
1576 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
1577 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
1578 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
1579 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
1581 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
1585 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
1587 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
1589 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
1591 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
1593 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
1594 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
1595 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
1597 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
1599 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
1600 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
1601 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
1605 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
1607 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
1608 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
1609 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
1610 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
1612 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
1614 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
1615 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
1618 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1619 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
1620 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
1623 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
1624 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
1625 more details on how to use this.
1627 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
1628 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
1630 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
1631 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
1634 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
1636 See the manual for more explanations.
1638 **** More control over empty lines
1640 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
1641 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
1644 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
1646 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
1650 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
1652 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
1653 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
1654 available) to print beautiful tables.
1656 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
1658 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
1659 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
1662 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
1664 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
1665 in the #+DATE option.
1667 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
1669 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
1671 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
1672 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
1674 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
1675 More languages are always welcome.
1677 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
1679 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
1680 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
1682 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
1683 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/w/?p%3Dorg-mode.git%3Ba%3Dcommit%3Bh%3De9fd33][this commit]] for details)
1684 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
1685 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
1686 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
1687 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
1689 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
1690 to Sรฉbastien Vauban for this patch.
1694 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
1696 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
1699 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
1701 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
1702 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
1704 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
1706 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
1708 It used to exports the results of the code.
1712 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
1713 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
1715 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
1716 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
1718 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
1720 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
1721 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
1722 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
1724 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
1725 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
1727 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
1728 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
1729 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
1732 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
1734 This will increment the effort value.
1736 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
1738 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
1740 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
1741 attach symbolic links.
1743 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
1745 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
1747 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
1748 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
1750 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
1752 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
1754 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
1755 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
1756 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
1758 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
1760 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
1761 all top level list items.
1763 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
1765 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
1767 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
1768 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
1770 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
1772 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
1774 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
1775 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
1776 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
1777 first headline in the region.
1779 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
1781 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
1784 ** Important bug fixes
1786 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
1788 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
1789 perform completion with meaningful values.
1791 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
1793 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
1794 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
1795 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1797 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
1798 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
1800 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
1801 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
1804 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
1805 the code and the license to your needs.
1807 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
1808 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
1812 ** Incompatible changes
1814 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
1816 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
1818 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
1820 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
1821 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
1822 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
1823 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
1826 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
1828 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
1829 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
1830 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
1832 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
1834 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
1835 =org-agenda-span= instead.
1837 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
1839 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
1841 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
1842 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
1843 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
1844 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
1845 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
1847 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
1848 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
1849 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
1850 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
1851 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
1852 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
1854 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
1855 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
1856 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
1859 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
1862 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
1863 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
1864 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
1865 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
1867 The two new variables are:
1869 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
1870 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
1871 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
1872 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
1873 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
1874 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
1875 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
1877 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
1878 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
1881 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
1884 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
1885 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
1886 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
1887 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
1889 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
1890 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
1891 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
1892 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
1895 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
1896 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
1897 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
1898 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
1899 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
1900 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
1903 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
1904 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
1905 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
1906 applies to the following packages:
1924 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
1925 you are using, you can remove it from
1926 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
1927 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
1930 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
1931 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
1932 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
1933 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
1934 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
1937 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
1939 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
1940 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
1941 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
1944 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
1946 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
1948 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
1950 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
1952 ** Important new features
1954 *** New Org to ODT exporter
1956 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
1958 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
1959 for more information on how to customize it.
1961 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
1963 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
1964 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
1965 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
1966 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
1968 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
1969 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
1970 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
1972 To switch over to the new system:
1976 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
1978 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
1979 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
1980 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
1981 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
1982 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
1984 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
1986 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
1989 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
1992 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
1994 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
1995 you have decided to move over completely to the new
1996 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
1997 with using both system in parallel.
2001 *** New Org libraries
2002 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2004 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2006 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2008 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2010 To use, put the following in your init file:
2013 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2016 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2017 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2018 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2019 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2020 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2021 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2022 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2023 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2024 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2027 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2029 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2030 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2032 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2034 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2035 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2036 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2039 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2040 call function to do something special with text links.
2042 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2044 **** org-docview.el (Jan Bรถcker)
2046 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2047 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2048 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2051 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2053 Thanks to Jan Bรถcker for this contribution.
2055 *** New Babel libraries
2057 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2058 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2059 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2060 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2061 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2062 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2063 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2065 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2069 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2071 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2072 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2073 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2074 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2075 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2076 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2078 The key new functions are
2080 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2081 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2082 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2084 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2085 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2087 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2088 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2090 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2091 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2093 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2095 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2096 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2097 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2099 **** Modified link escaping
2101 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2103 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2104 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2105 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2106 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2109 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2110 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2111 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2112 : percent escaped links are solved.
2114 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2116 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2118 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2119 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2121 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2123 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2125 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2126 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2127 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2128 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2129 string to be executed.
2131 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2132 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2136 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2137 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2140 Thanks to Jan Bรถcker for a patch to this effect.
2144 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2146 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2147 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2148 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2149 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2151 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2152 will work on the current entry.
2154 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2155 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2157 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2159 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2161 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2164 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2165 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2170 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2172 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2173 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2174 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2176 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
2178 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
2179 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
2180 entries using a function.
2182 Thanks to Peter Mรผnster for raising a related issue and to
2183 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Mรผnster for
2184 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
2186 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
2188 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
2189 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
2190 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
2192 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
2194 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
2195 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
2196 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
2197 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
2198 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
2199 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
2201 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
2205 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
2207 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
2208 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
2210 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
2211 docstring of these variable for details about available
2214 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
2215 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
2216 formatting string will insert a string.
2218 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
2220 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
2221 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
2222 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
2223 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
2224 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
2225 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
2226 C-e u=, respectively.
2228 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
2229 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
2230 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
2231 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
2232 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
2235 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
2237 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
2238 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
2240 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
2242 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
2243 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
2245 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
2247 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
2248 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
2249 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
2250 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
2251 section]] in the manual for more details.
2253 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
2254 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
2255 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
2260 **** Refile targets can now be cached
2262 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
2263 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
2264 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
2265 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
2266 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
2268 **** New logging support for refiling
2270 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
2271 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
2274 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
2278 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
2280 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
2284 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
2286 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
2287 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
2289 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
2291 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
2292 the displayed in the buffer.
2294 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
2296 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
2298 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
2299 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
2301 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
2302 |--------+--------+---------|
2303 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
2304 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
2306 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
2309 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
2312 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
2314 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
2316 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
2317 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
2324 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
2325 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
2328 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
2330 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
2332 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
2333 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
2335 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
2339 **** Improved handling of lists
2341 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
2343 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
2344 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
2345 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
2348 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
2349 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
2350 counters like [@c] or [@W].
2352 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
2353 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
2354 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
2355 `org-list-export-context'.
2357 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
2358 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
2359 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
2361 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
2362 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
2363 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
2364 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
2365 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
2367 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
2368 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
2369 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
2371 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
2373 *** Inline display of linked images
2375 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
2376 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
2377 that have no description part will be inlined.
2379 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
2381 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
2382 from 1, you can now do it like this:
2384 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
2386 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
2388 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
2389 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
2390 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
2391 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
2392 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
2393 into account all header arguments, and variables.
2395 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
2396 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
2397 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
2400 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
2401 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
2402 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
2403 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
2404 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
2405 properties or in tables.
2407 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
2408 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
2409 names, and rownames across all languages.
2411 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
2413 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
2415 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
2416 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
2417 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
2419 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
2421 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
2422 request by Scott Otterson.
2424 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
2426 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
2427 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
2428 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
2429 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
2430 superscripts, see the variable
2431 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
2433 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
2435 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
2437 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
2438 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
2439 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
2440 following new faces:
2442 =org-document-title=
2444 =org-document-info-keyword=
2446 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
2447 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
2449 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
2451 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
2453 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
2454 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
2455 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
2456 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
2457 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
2458 property is affected by this setting.
2460 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
2461 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
2463 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
2465 Requested by Michael Brand.
2467 **** Better level cycling function
2469 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
2470 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
2471 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
2472 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
2474 **** Adaptive filling
2476 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
2477 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
2478 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
2479 comments to be filled correctly.
2481 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
2483 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
2485 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
2487 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
2489 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
2490 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
2492 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
2496 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
2498 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
2499 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
2500 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
2501 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
2503 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
2505 **** Localized clock tables
2507 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
2508 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
2509 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
2510 available translated strings.
2512 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
2514 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
2515 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
2516 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
2517 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
2519 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
2521 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
2523 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
2524 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
2525 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
2526 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
2529 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
2533 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
2535 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
2536 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
2538 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
2540 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
2542 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
2543 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
2544 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
2547 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
2550 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
2552 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
2553 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
2558 org-table-current-line
2562 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
2564 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
2565 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
2568 This was requested by Tom.
2570 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
2572 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
2573 example by viewing from the agenda.
2575 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
