12 ** Incompatible changes
13 *** New syntax for export blocks
14 Export blocks are explicetly marked as such at the syntax level to
15 disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
18 ,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
31 As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
34 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
40 ,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
43 The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
44 using previous syntax:
46 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
47 (defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
48 "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
49 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
50 (let ((case-fold-search t)
51 (back-end-re (regexp-opt
52 '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
53 "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
56 (goto-char (point-min))
57 (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
59 (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
60 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
61 (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
63 (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
64 (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
67 (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
68 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
70 (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
71 (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
72 (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
73 (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
74 (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
75 (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
78 Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~
79 and ~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to
83 **** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
84 Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
85 it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
86 constructs are now unsupported.
88 If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them
90 **** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
91 Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
92 something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
93 consider using =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
95 In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
97 *** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
98 The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
99 S-expressions. Replacing a S-expresion with an appropriate function
100 is straightforward. For example
106 : ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
109 *** New org-protocol key=value syntax
111 Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
114 org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
115 org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
118 Old-style links such as
119 : org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
120 continue to be supported.
122 If you have defined your own handler functions for
123 ~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
124 list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
125 ~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into
129 ~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
130 *** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
131 When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
132 entries are added to last in the date tree.
133 *** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
134 This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
135 a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
136 *** New ~vbar~ entity
137 ~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionnally as a =|=,
138 unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~|~ when using
139 a HTML derived export back-end.
141 **** Support for Stan language
142 New ob-stan.el library.
144 Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
146 1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
148 This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
149 allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
151 2. Compile the contents to a model file.
153 This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
154 ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
155 that does not end in ".stan".
157 For more information and usage examples, visit
158 http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
159 **** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
160 =ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
161 database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
172 *** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
173 PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
175 *** Rewrite of radio lists
176 Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
177 rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
178 parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
180 *** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
181 Used like org-bbdb-anniversaries, it provides a few days warning
182 for upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
183 *** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
184 If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
185 information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
187 See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
188 *** Support for ISO week trees
189 ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
190 by ISO week and not by month.
197 : *** 2015-08-31 Monday
199 They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
200 ~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
201 *** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
202 Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
203 string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
204 position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
206 *** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
207 When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
208 an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
210 On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
211 *** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
212 *** New option ~org-attach-commit~
213 When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
216 *** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
217 It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
218 *** ~org-show-children~
219 It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
222 *** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
223 Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
224 *** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
225 Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
226 *** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
227 Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
229 *** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
230 Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
231 *** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
232 Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
233 The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
235 *** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
236 Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
237 *** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
238 A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
239 now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
241 *** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
242 Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
244 *** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
245 It was not called by any org code since 2010.
247 *** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
248 The affected functions are:
251 - ~org-remove-if-not~
256 Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
257 the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
258 end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
261 *** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
262 This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
263 Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
264 let those libraries operate.
265 *** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
266 Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
268 *** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
269 fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
271 *** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
273 *** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
274 Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
275 current projet. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
278 *** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
279 The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
282 *** Secure placeholders in capture templates
283 Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
284 However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
285 the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
286 placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
287 very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
289 Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
290 template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
291 expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
292 another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
294 *** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
295 Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
296 to the article's original group.
298 *** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
299 The calling convention has changed.
300 *** HTML export table row customization changes
301 Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
302 ~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
303 Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
304 called with 6 parameters.
306 *** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
309 ** Incompatible changes
311 *** Properties drawers syntax changes
313 Properties drawers are now required to be located right after a
314 headline and its planning line, when applicable.
316 It will break some documents as TODO states changes were sometimes
317 logged before the property drawer.
319 The following function will repair them:
321 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
322 (defun org-repair-property-drawers ()
323 "Fix properties drawers in current buffer.
324 Ignore non Org buffers."
325 (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
326 (org-with-wide-buffer
327 (goto-char (point-min))
328 (let ((case-fold-search t)
329 (inline-re (and (featurep 'org-inlinetask)
330 (concat (org-inlinetask-outline-regexp)
334 (unless (and inline-re (org-looking-at-p inline-re))
336 (let ((end (save-excursion (outline-next-heading) (point))))
338 (when (org-looking-at-p org-planning-line-re) (forward-line))
339 (when (and (< (point) end)
340 (not (org-looking-at-p org-property-drawer-re))
342 (and (re-search-forward org-property-drawer-re end t)
343 (eq (org-element-type
344 (save-match-data (org-element-at-point)))
346 (insert (delete-and-extract-region
348 (min (1+ (match-end 0)) end)))
349 (unless (bolp) (insert "\n"))))))))))))
352 *** Using "COMMENT" is now equivalent to commenting with "#"
354 If you used "COMMENT" in headlines to prevent a subtree from being
355 exported, you can still do it but all information within the subtree
356 is now commented out, i.e. no #+OPTIONS line will be parsed or taken
357 into account when exporting.
359 If you want to exclude a headline from export while using its contents
360 for setting options, use =:noexport:= (see =org-export-exclude-tags=.)
362 *** =#+CATEGORY= keywords no longer apply partially to document
364 It was possible to use several such keywords and have them apply to
365 the text below until the next one, but strongly deprecated since Org
368 =#+CATEGORY= keywords are now global to the document. You can use node
369 properties to set category for a subtree, e.g.,
374 :CATEGORY: some category
378 *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
380 ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~, ~org-show-entry-below~
381 and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist. Instead, visibility is
382 controlled through a single variable: ~org-show-context-detail~, which
385 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
387 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
388 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
390 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
391 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
393 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
395 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
396 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
398 *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
400 The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
401 ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-next-visible-heading~ respectively,
402 rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these functions. The Org
403 version of these functions skips over inline tasks (and even-level
404 headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
406 *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
408 ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
409 =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=. It now returns only the keyword.
411 *** ~org-timer-default-timer~ type changed from number to string
413 If you have, in your configuration, something like =(setq
414 org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
415 org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
417 *** Functions signature changes
419 The following functions require an additional argument. See their
420 docstring for more information.
422 - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
423 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
424 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
425 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
426 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
430 *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
432 If point is before or after the headline title, insert a new line
433 without changing the headline.
435 *** Hierarchies of tags
436 The functionality of nesting tags in hierarchies is added to org-mode.
437 This is the generalization of what was previously called "Tag groups"
438 in the manual. That term is now changed to "Tag hierarchy".
440 The following in-buffer definition:
442 ,#+TAGS: [ Group : SubOne SubTwo ]
443 ,#+TAGS: [ SubOne : SubOne1 SubOne2 ]
444 ,#+TAGS: [ SubTwo : SubTwo1 SubTwo2 ]
447 Should be seen as the following tree of tags:
456 Searching for "Group" should return all tags defined above. Filtering
457 on SubOne filters also it's sub-tags. Etc.
459 There is no limit on the depth for the tag hierarchy.
461 *** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags
462 Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
463 don't have to be distinct on a heading.
465 Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
466 already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
467 non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: {
468 } can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the
469 given tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
471 [ group : sub1 sub2 ]
477 This is a more general case than the already existing syntax for
480 *** Define regular expression patterns as tags
481 Tags can be defined as grouptags with regular expressions as
484 The regular expressions in the group must be marked up within { }.
487 : #+TAGS: [ Project : {P@.+} ]
489 Searching for the tag Project will now list all tags also including
490 regular expression matches for P@.+. Good for example if tags for a
491 certain project is tagged with a common project-identifier,
494 *** Filtering in the agenda on grouptags (Tag hierarchies)
495 Filtering in the agenda on grouptags filter all of the related tags.
496 Exception if filter is applied with a (double) prefix-argument.
498 Filtering in the agenda on subcategories does not filter the "above"
501 If a grouptag contains a regular expression the regular expression
502 is also used as a filter.
504 *** Minor refactoring of ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~
505 Now uses the argument arg and optional argument exclude instead of
506 strip and narrow. ARG because the argument has multiple purposes and
507 makes more sense than strip now. The term narrowing is changed to
510 The main purpose is for the function to make more logical sense when
511 filtering on tags now when tags can be structured in hierarchies.
513 *** Babel: support for sed scripts
515 Thanks to Bjarte Johansen for this feature.
517 *** Babel: support for Processing language
519 New ob-processing.el library.
521 This library implements necessary functions for implementing editing
522 of Processing code blocks, viewing the resulting sketches in an
523 external viewer, and HTML export of the sketches.
525 Check the documentation for more.
527 Thanks to Jarmo Hurri for this feature.
529 *** New behaviour for `org-toggle-latex-fragment'
530 The new behaviour is the following:
532 - With a double prefix argument or with a single prefix argument
533 when point is before the first headline, toggle overlays in the
536 - With a single prefix argument, toggle overlays in the current
539 - On latex code, toggle overlay at point;
541 - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
543 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
545 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
546 instance as HTML. See the documentation for details.
548 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
550 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links. It is
551 possible to include only the contents of the object. See manual for
554 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
556 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
557 which is now obsolete. As a consequence, this change also deprecates
558 ~org-drawers~ variable.
560 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
562 Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer. Major
563 mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
564 "latex" \to "latex-mode"). You can define exceptions to this rule by
565 configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.
567 *** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
569 If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
570 argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
571 representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program. The
574 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
576 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
579 *** New option in ASCII export
581 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
582 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.
584 *** New blocks in ASCII export
586 ASCII export now supports =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYRIGHT= and
587 =#+BEGIN_JUSTIFYLEFT= blocks. See documentation for details.
589 *** More back-end specific publishing options
591 The number of publishing options specific to each back-end has been
592 increased. See manual for details.
594 *** Export inline source blocks
596 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting. They are
597 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
598 in the output, depending on the parameters.
600 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
602 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
604 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
606 *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
608 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~
610 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~. It also provides
611 more features. See docstring for details.
613 *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
615 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
617 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
618 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
620 *** New :environment parameter when exporting example blocks to LaTeX
622 : #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment myverbatim
624 : This sentence is false.
627 will be exported using =@samp(myverbatim)= instead of =@samp(verbatim)=.
629 *** Various improvements on radio tables
631 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
632 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
633 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~. Moreover, there are
634 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
635 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~. See translators
636 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
638 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
640 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
641 source blocks exported by the minted package.
643 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
645 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
646 would throw an error. A new variable
647 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
648 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
649 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
653 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars. See manual
656 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
658 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
659 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
661 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
663 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
665 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
667 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
668 now deprecated. In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
669 special blocks and images. See docstring for more information.
671 *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
673 See docstring for more information.
675 *** Export unnumbered headlines
677 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
678 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels. The
679 property is inherited by children.
681 *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
683 It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
684 through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
685 keys, to sort a table.
687 *** Table of contents can be local to a section
689 The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter. See
692 *** Countdown timers can now be paused
694 ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
697 *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~
699 When ~org-agenda-window-setup~ is set to ~only-window~, the agenda is
700 displayed as the sole window of the current frame.
702 *** ~{{{date}}}~ macro supports optional formatting argument
704 It is now possible to supply and optional formatting argument to
705 ~{{{date}}}~. See manual for details.
707 *** ~{{{property}}}~ macro supports optional search argument
709 It is now possible to supply an optional search option to
710 ~{{{property}}}~ in order to retrieve remote properties optional. See
713 *** New option ~org-export-with-title~
715 It is possible to suppress the title insertion with ~#+OPTIONS:
716 title:nil~ or globally using the variable ~org-export-with-title~.
718 *** New entities family: "\_ "
720 "\_ " are used to insert up to 20 contiguous spaces in various
721 back-ends. In particular, this family can be used to introduce
722 leading spaces within table cells.
724 *** New MathJax configuration options
726 Org uses the MathJax CDN by default. See the manual and the docstring
727 of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
729 *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'
731 When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
732 `parse' behaviour on a keyword. It is equivalent to call
733 `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.
735 However, parsed =KEYWORD= is automatically associated to an
736 =:EXPORT_KEYWORD:= property, which can be used to override the keyword
737 value during a subtree export. Moreover, macros are expanded in such
738 keywords and properties.
740 *** Viewport support in html export
742 Viewport for mobile-optimized website is now automatically inserted
743 when exporting to html. See ~org-html-viewport~ for details.
745 *** New ~#+SUBTITLE~ export keyword
747 Org can typeset a subtitle in some export backends. See the manual
750 *** Remotely edit a footnote definition
752 Calling ~org-edit-footnote-reference~ (C-c ') on a footnote reference
753 allows to edit its definition, as long as it is not anonymous, in
754 a dedicated buffer. It works even if buffer is currently narrowed.
756 *** New function ~org-delete-indentation~ bound to ~M-^~
758 Work as ~delete-indentation~ unless at heading, in which case text is
759 added to headline text.
761 *** Support for images in Texinfo export
763 ~Texinfo~ back-end now handles images. See manual for details.
765 *** Support for captions in Texinfo export
767 Tables and source blocks can now have captions. Additionally, lists
768 of tables and lists of listings can be inserted in the document with
771 *** Countdown timer support hh:mm:ss format
773 In addition to setting countdown timers in minutes, they can also be
774 set using the hh:mm:ss format.
776 *** Extend ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~
778 ~org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift~ now accepts 0 as an argument for
779 the number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original
780 subtree and creates one shifted, repeating clone.
782 *** New time block for clock tables: ~untilnow~
784 It encompasses all past closed clocks.
786 *** Support for the ~polyglossia~ LaTeX package
788 See the docstring of ~org-latex-classes~ and
789 ~org-latex-guess-polyglossia-language~ for details.
791 *** None-floating tables, graphics and blocks can have captions
793 *** `org-insert-heading' can be forced to insert top-level headline
797 *** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
799 Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
801 *** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
803 This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
804 current subtree. Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
805 it provides more features and covers all export back-ends. It is also
806 accessible from the export dispatcher.
808 *** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
810 ~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
812 *** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
814 This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
815 references. Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
817 *** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
819 The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
822 *** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
824 These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era. They are not correct
825 anymore. Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
828 *** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
830 It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
833 If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
834 two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
836 *** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
838 Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed. It is possible to use a
839 body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
842 *** Removed option =org-html-use-unicode-chars=
844 Setting this to non-nil was problematic as it converted characters
845 everywhere in the buffer, possibly corrupting URLs.
847 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
849 This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
850 at the time of loading =ob-shell=. The new behaviour is to use the
851 value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
852 To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
853 this variable locally.
855 *** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
857 This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
858 styles when changing the shell type. Changing the shell type can now
859 be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
860 compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
861 anymore. The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
863 *** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
865 Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
866 would create invalid planning info. This dangerous option is now
869 *** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
871 Use org-export-with-title instead. See also below.
873 *** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
875 This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
877 *** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
879 This variable has no effect since August 2009.
881 *** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
883 MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
884 end-users browser. You may force initial usage of MathML via
885 ~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
886 ~org-html-mathjax-options~.
888 *** Removed comment-related filters
890 ~org-export-filter-comment-functions~ and
891 ~org-export-filter-comment-block-functions~ variables do not exist
895 *** Strip all meta data from ITEM special property
897 ITEM special property does not contain TODO, priority or tags anymore.
899 *** File names in links accept are now compatible with URI syntax
901 Absolute file names can now start with =///= in addition to =/=. E.g.,
902 =[[file:///home/me/unicorn.jpg]]=.
904 *** Footnotes in included files are now local to the file
906 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
907 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
910 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
912 This change deprecates old Org syntax for mailto links:
913 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
915 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
917 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
919 *** Select tests to perform with the build system
921 The build system has been enhanced to allow test selection with a
922 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
923 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
924 particular test failure was introduced.
926 *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
928 Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
929 the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as
930 well as links of the form ~file:projects.org::some words~
931 when ~org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline~ is not nil.
933 *** ~org-latex-hyperref-template~, ~org-latex-title-command~ formatting
935 New formatting keys are supported. See the respective docstrings.
936 Note, ~org-latex-hyperref-template~ has a new default value.
938 *** ~float, wasysym, marvosym~ are removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
940 If you require any of these package add them to your preamble via
941 ~org-latex-packages-alist~. Org also uses default LaTeX ~\tolerance~
944 *** When exporting, throw an error on unresolved id/fuzzy links and code refs
946 This helps spotting wrong links.
949 ** Incompatible changes
950 *** =ob-sh.el= renamed to =ob-shell=
951 This may require two changes in user config.
953 1. In =org-babel-do-load-languages=, change =(sh . t)= to =(shell . t)=.
954 2. Edit =local.mk= files to change the value of =BTEST_OB_LANGUAGES=
955 to remove "sh" and include "shell".
957 *** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el
959 Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
960 'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file. All you
961 need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.
963 Additionally, replace any calls to =ogml-grab-link= to
964 =org-mac-grab-link=. For example, replace this line:
966 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)
970 : (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)
972 *** HTML export: Replace =HTML_HTML5_FANCY= by =:html-html5-fancy= (...)
974 Some of the HTML specific export options in Org <8.1 are either nil or
975 t, like =#+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=. We replaced these binary options with
976 option keywords like :html-include-style.
978 So you need to replace
980 : #+HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE: t
984 : #+OPTIONS: :html-include-style t
986 Options affected by this change: =HTML5_FANCY=, =HTML_INCLUDE_SCRIPTS=
987 and =HTML_INCLUDE_STYLE=.
989 *** Add an argument to ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-buffer~
991 ~org-export-to-file~ and ~org-export-to-file~ can run in a different
992 process when provided a non-nil =ASYNC= optional argument, without
993 relying on ~org-export-async-start~ macro.
995 Since =ASYNC= is the first of optional arguments, you have to shift
996 the other optional arguments accordingly.
998 *** Export back-ends are now structures
1000 Export back-ends are now structures, and stored as such in the
1001 communication channel during an export process. In other words, from
1002 now on, ~(plist-get info :back-end)~ will return a structure instead
1005 Arguments in hooks and in filters are still symbols, though.
1007 ** Important bugfixes
1009 *** [[doc:org-insert-heading][org-insert-heading]] has been rewritten and bugs are now fixed
1010 *** The replacement of disputed keys is now turned of when reading a date
1012 *** Match string for sparse trees can now contain a slash in a property value
1014 You can now have searches like SOMEPROP="aaa/bbb". Until now,
1015 this would break because the slash would be interpreted as the
1016 separator starting a TOTO match string.
1019 *** =C-c ^ x= will now sort checklist items by their checked status
1021 See [[doc:org-sort-list][org-sort-list]]: hitting =C-c ^ x= will put checked items at the end
1023 *** Various LaTeX export enhancements
1025 - Support SVG images
1026 - Support for .pgf files
1027 - LaTeX Babel blocks can now be exported as =.tikz= files
1028 - Allow =latexmk= as an option for [[doc:org-latex-pdf-process][org-latex-pdf-process]]
1029 - When using =\usepackage[AUTO]{babel}=, AUTO will automatically be
1030 replaced with a value compatible with ~org-export-default-language~
1031 or ~LANGUAGE~ keyword.
1032 - The dependency on the =latexsym= LaTeX package has been removed, we
1033 now use =amssymb= symbols by default instead.
1035 *** New functions for paragraph motion
1037 The commands =C-down= and =C-up= now invoke special commands
1038 that use knowledge from the org-elements parser to move the cursor
1039 in a paragraph-like way.
1041 *** New entities in =org-entities.el=
1043 Add support for ell, imath, jmath, varphi, varpi, aleph, gimel, beth,
1044 dalet, cdots, S (§), dag, ddag, colon, therefore, because, triangleq,
1045 leq, geq, lessgtr, lesseqgtr, ll, lll, gg, ggg, prec, preceq,
1046 preccurlyeq, succ, succeq, succurlyeq, setminus, nexist(s), mho,
1047 check, frown, diamond. Changes loz, vert, checkmark, smile and tilde.
1049 *** Anonymous export back-ends
1051 ~org-export-create-backend~ can create anonymous export back-ends,
1052 which can then be passed to export functions like
1053 ~org-export-to-file~, ~org-export-to-buffer~ or ~org-export-as~.
1055 It allows for quick translation of Org syntax without the overhead of
1056 registering a new back-end.
1058 *** New agenda fortnight view
1060 The agenda has not, in addition to day, week, month, and year
1061 views, also a fortnight view covering 14 days.
1064 *** New option [[doc:org-bookmark-names-plist][org-bookmark-names-plist]]
1066 This allows to specify the names of automatic bookmarks.
1067 *** New option [[doc:org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties][org-agenda-ignore-drawer-properties]]
1069 This allows more flexibility when optimizing the agenda generation.
1070 See http://orgmode.org/worg/agenda-optimization.html for details.
1071 *** New option: [[doc:org-html-link-use-abs-url][org-html-link-use-abs-url]] to force using absolute URLs
1073 This is an export/publishing option, and should be used either within
1074 the =#+OPTIONS= line(s) or within a [[doc:org-publish-project-alist][org-publish-project-alist]].
1076 Setting this option to =t= is needed when the HTML output does not
1077 allow relative URLs. For example, the =contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el=
1078 library produces a RSS feed, and RSS feeds need to use absolute URLs,
1079 so a combination of =:html-link-home "..." and :html-link-use-abs-url
1080 t= is required---see the configuration example in the comment section
1083 *** New option [[doc:org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd][org-babel-ditaa-java-cmd]]
1085 This makes java executable configurable for ditaa blocks.
1087 *** New options [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex][org-babel-latex-htlatex]] and [[doc:org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages][org-babel-latex-htlatex-packages]]
1089 This enables SVG generation from latex code blocks.
1091 *** New option: [[doc:org-habit-show-done-always-green][org-habit-show-done-always-green]]
1093 See [[http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00214.html][this message]] from Max Mikhanosha.
1095 *** New option: [[doc:org-babel-inline-result-wrap][org-babel-inline-result-wrap]]
1097 If you set this to the following
1099 : (setq org-babel-inline-result-wrap "$%s$")
1101 then inline code snippets will be wrapped into the formatting string.
1103 *** New option: [[doc:org-special-ctrl-o][org-special-ctrl-o]]
1105 This variable can be used to turn off the special behavior of
1107 ** New contributed packages
1109 - =ox-bibtex.el= by Nicolas Goaziou :: an utility to handle BibTeX
1110 export to both LaTeX and HTML exports. It uses the [[http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/bibtex2html/][bibtex2html]]
1113 - =org-screenshot.el= by Max Mikhanosha :: an utility to handle
1114 screenshots easily from Org, using the external tool [[http://freecode.com/projects/scrot][scrot]].
1118 *** "QUOTE" keywords in headlines are deprecated
1120 "QUOTE" keywords are an undocumented feature in Org. When a headline
1121 starts with the keyword "QUOTE", its contents are parsed as
1122 a ~quote-section~ and treated as an example block. You can achieve
1123 the same with example blocks.
1125 This feature is deprecated and will be removed in the next Org
1132 Installation instructions have been updated and simplified.
1134 If you have troubles installing or updating Org, focus on these
1137 - when updating via a =.zip/.tar.gz= file, you only need to set the
1138 =load-path= in your =.emacs=. Set it before any other Org
1139 customization that would call autoloaded Org functions.
1141 - when updating by pulling Org's Git repository, make sure to create the
1142 correct autoloads. You can do this by running =~$ make autoloads= (to
1143 only create the autoloads) or by running =~$ make= (to also compile
1144 the Emacs lisp files.) =~$ make help= and =~$ make helpall= gives you
1145 detailed explanations.
1147 - when updating through ELPA (either from GNU ELPA or from Org ELPA),
1148 you have to install Org's ELPA package in a session where no Org
1149 function has been called already.
1151 When in doubt, run =M-x org-version RET= and see if you have a mixed-up
1154 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Installation for details.
1156 ** Incompatible changes
1158 Org 8.0 is the most disruptive major version of Org.
1160 If you configured export options, you will have to update some of them.
1162 If you used =#+ATTR_*= keywords, the syntax of the attributes changed and
1163 you will have to update them.
1165 Below is a list of changes for which you need to take action.
1167 See http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html for the most recent version of
1168 this list and for detailed instructions on how to migrate.
1170 **** New export engine
1172 Org 8.0 comes with a new export engine written by Nicolas Goaziou. This
1173 export engine relies on ~org-element.el~ (Org's syntax parser), which was
1174 already in Org's core. This new export engine triggered the rewriting of
1175 /all/ export back-ends.
1177 The most visible change is the export dispatcher, accessible through the
1178 keybinding =C-c C-e=. By default, this menu only shows some of the
1179 built-in export formats, but you can add more formats by loading them
1180 directly (e.g., =(require 'ox-texinfo)= or by configuring the option
1181 [[doc:org-export-backends][org-export-backends]].
1183 More contributed back-ends are available from the =contrib/= directory, the
1184 corresponding files start with the =ox-= prefix.
1186 If you customized an export back-end (like HTML or LaTeX), you will need to
1187 rename some options so that your customization is not lost. Typically, an
1188 option starting with =org-export-html-= is now named =org-html-=. See the
1189 manual for details and check [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html][this Worg page]] for directions.
1191 **** New syntax for #+ATTR_HTML/LaTeX/... options
1193 : #+ATTR_HTML width="200px"
1195 should now be written
1197 : #+ATTR_HTML :width 200px
1199 Keywords like =#+ATTR_HTML= and =#+ATTR_LaTeX= are defined in their
1200 respective back-ends, and the list of supported parameters depends on
1201 each backend. See Org's manual for details.
1203 **** ~org-remember.el~ has been removed
1205 You cannot use =remember.el= anymore to capture notes.
1207 Support for remember templates has been obsoleted since long, it is
1210 Use =M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET= to import your
1211 remember templates into capture templates.
1213 **** ~org-jsinfo.el~ has been merged into ~ox-html.el~
1215 If you were requiring ~ox-jsinfo.el~ in your ~.emacs.el~ file, you
1216 will have to remove this requirement from your initialization file.
1218 **** Note for third-party developers
1220 The name of the files for export back-end have changed: we now use the
1221 prefix =ox-= for those files (like we use the =ob-= prefix for Babel
1222 files.) For example ~org-html.el~ is now ~ox-html.el~.
1224 If your code relies on these files, please update the names in your
1227 **** Packages moved from core to contrib
1229 Since packages in Org's core are meant to be part of GNU Emacs, we try
1230 to be minimalist when it comes to adding files into core. For 8.0, we
1231 moved some contributions into the =contrib/= directory.
1233 The rationale for deciding that these files should live in =contrib/=
1234 is either because they rely on third-party software that is not
1235 included in Emacs, or because they are not targeting a significant
1238 - org-colview-xemacs.el
1239 - org-mac-message.el
1245 Note that ~ox-freedmind.el~ has been rewritten by Jambunathan,
1246 ~org-mew.el~ has been enhanced by Tokuya Kameshima and
1247 ~ox-taskjuggler.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and others.
1249 Also, the Taskjuggler exporter now uses TJ3 by default. John Hendy
1250 wrote [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler3.html][a tutorial on Worg]] for the TJ3 export.
1252 ** New packages in core
1254 *** ~ob-makefile.el~ by Eric Schulte and Thomas S. Dye
1256 =ob-makefile.el= implements Org Babel support for Makefile tangling.
1258 *** ~ox-man.el~ by Luis Anaya
1260 =ox-man.el= allows you to export Org files to =man= pages.
1262 *** ~ox-md.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou
1264 =ox-md.el= allows you to export Org files to Markdown files, using the
1265 vanilla [[http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/][Markdown syntax]].
1267 *** ~ox-texinfo.el~ by Jonathan Leech-Pepin
1269 =ox-texinfo.el= allows you to export Org files to [[http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/][Texinfo]] files.
1271 ** New packages in contrib
1273 *** ~ob-julia.el~ by G. Jay Kerns
1275 [[http://julialang.org/][Julia]] is a new programming language.
1277 =ob-julia.el= provides Org Babel support for evaluating Julia source
1280 *** ~ob-mathomatic.el~ by Luis Anaya
1282 [[http://www.mathomatic.org/][mathomatic]] a portable, command-line, educational CAS and calculator
1283 software, written entirely in the C programming language.
1285 ~ob-mathomatic.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating mathomatic
1288 *** ~ob-tcl.el~ by Luis Anaya
1290 ~ob-tcl.el~ provides Org Babel support for evaluating [[http://www.tcl.tk/][Tcl]] source code.
1292 *** ~org-bullets.el~ by Evgeni Sabof
1294 Display bullets instead of stars for headlines.
1296 Also see [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#sec-8-12][this updated FAQ]] on how to display another character than "*"
1297 for starting headlines.
1299 *** ~org-favtable.el~ by Marc-Oliver Ihm
1301 ~org-favtable.el~ helps you to create and update a table of favorite
1302 locations in org, keeping the most frequently visited lines right at
1303 the top. This table is called "favtable". See the documentation on
1304 [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-favtable.html][Worg]].
1306 *** ~ox-confluence.el~ by Sébastien Delafond
1308 ~ox-confluence.el~ lets you convert Org files to [[https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence%2BWiki%2BMarkup][Confluence Wiki]] files.
1310 *** ~ox-deck.el~ and ~ox-s5.el~ by Rick Frankel
1312 [[http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/][deck.js]] is a javascript library for displaying HTML ages as
1313 presentations. ~ox-deck.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
1316 [[http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/][s5]] is a set of scripts which also allows to display HTML pages as
1317 presentations. ~ox-s5.el~ exports Org files to HTML presentations
1320 *** ~ox-groff.el~ by Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou
1322 The [[http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/][groff]] (GNU troff) software is a typesetting package which reads
1323 plain text mixed with formatting commands and produces formatted
1326 Luis Anaya and Nicolas Goaziou implemented ~ox-groff.el~ to allow
1327 conversion from Org files to groff.
1329 *** ~ox-koma-letter.el~ by Nicolas Goaziou and Alan Schmitt
1331 This back-end allow to export Org pages to the =KOMA Scrlttr2= format.
1333 *** ~ox-rss.el~ by Bastien
1335 This back-end lets you export Org pages to RSS 2.0 feeds. Combined
1336 with the HTML publishing feature, this allows you to build a blog
1343 **** New export generic options
1345 If you use Org exporter, we advise you to re-read [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Exporting][the manual section about
1346 it]]. It has been updated and includes new options.
1348 Among the new/updated export options, three are of particular importance:
1350 - [[doc:org-export-allow-bind-keywords][org-export-allow-bind-keywords]] :: This option replaces the old option
1351 =org-export-allow-BIND= and the default value is =nil=, not =confirm=.
1352 You will need to explicitly set this to =t= in your initialization
1353 file if you want to allow =#+BIND= keywords.
1355 - [[doc:org-export-with-planning][org-export-with-planning]] :: This new option controls the export of
1356 =SCHEDULED:, DEADLINE:, CLOSED:= lines, and planning information is
1357 now skipped by default during export. This use to be the job of
1358 [[doc:org-export-with-timestamps][org-export-with-timestamps]], but this latter option has been given a
1359 new role: it controls the export of /standalone time-stamps/. When
1360 set to =nil=, Org will not export active and inactive time-stamps
1361 standing on a line by themselves or within a paragraph that only
1362 contains time-stamps.
1364 To check if an option has been introduced or its default value changed in
1365 Org 8.0, do =C-h v [option] RET= and check if the documentation says that
1366 the variable has been introduced (or changed) in version 24.4 of Emacs.
1368 **** Enhanced default stylesheet for the HTML exporter
1370 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-style-default][org-html-style-default]].
1372 **** New tags, classes and ids for the HTML exporter
1374 See the new default value of [[doc:org-html-divs][org-html-divs]].
1376 **** Support for tikz pictures in LaTeX export
1377 **** ~org-man.el~: New export function for "man" links
1378 **** ~org-docview.el~: New export function for docview links
1379 *** Structure editing
1381 **** =C-u C-u M-RET= inserts a heading at the end of the parent subtree
1382 **** Cycling to the =CONTENTS= view keeps inline tasks folded
1384 [[doc:org-cycle-hook][org-cycle-hook]] as a new function [[doc:org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks][org-cycle-hide-inline-tasks]] which
1385 prevents the display of inline tasks when showing the content of a subtree.
1387 **** =C-c -= in a region makes a list item for each line
1389 This is the opposite of the previous behavior, where =C-c -= on a region
1390 would create one item for the whole region, and where =C-u C-c -= would
1391 create an item for each line. Now =C-c -= on the selected region creates
1392 an item per line, and =C-u C-c -= creates a single item for the whole
1395 **** When transposing words, markup characters are now part of the words
1397 In Emacs, you can transpose words with =M-t=. Transposing =*these*
1398 _words__= will preserve markup.
1400 **** New command [[doc:org-set-property-and-value][org-set-property-and-value]] bound to =C-c C-x P=
1402 This command allows you to quickly add both the property and its value. It
1403 is useful in buffers where there are many properties and where =C-c C-x p=
1404 can slow down the flow of editing too much.
1406 **** New commands [[doc:org-next-block][org-next-block]] and [[doc:org-previous-block][org-previous-block]]
1408 These commands allow you to go to the previous block (=C-c M-b= or the
1409 speedy key =B=) or to the next block (=C-c M-f= or the speedy key =F=.)
1411 **** New commands [[doc:org-drag-line-forward][org-drag-line-forward]] and [[doc:org-drag-line-backward][org-drag-line-backward]]
1413 These commands emulate the old behavior of =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= but are
1414 now bound to =S-M-<down>= and =S-M-<up>= respectively, since =M-<down>= and
1415 =M-<up>= now drag the whole element at point (a paragraph, a table, etc.)
1416 forward and backward.
1418 **** When a list item has a checkbox, inserting a new item uses a checkbox too
1419 **** When sorting entries/items, only the description of links is considered
1421 Now Org will sort this list
1423 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
1424 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
1428 : - [[http://def.org][A]]
1429 : - [[http://abc.org][B]]
1431 by comparing the descriptions, not the links.
1432 Same when sorting headlines instead of list items.
1433 **** New option =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp=
1435 For example, setting this option to "^;;; " in Emacs lisp files and using
1436 =orgstruct-mode= in those files will allow you to cycle through visibility
1437 states as if lines starting with ";;; *..." where headlines.
1439 In general, you want to set =orgstruct-heading-prefix-regexp= as a file
1442 **** New behavior of [[doc:org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift][org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift]]
1444 The default is now to ask for a time-shift only when there is a time-stamp.
1445 When called with a universal prefix argument =C-u=, it will not ask for a
1446 time-shift even if there is a time-stamp.
1448 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree][org-agenda-restriction-lock-highlight-subtree]]
1450 This defaults to =t= so that the whole subtree is highlighted when you
1451 restrict the agenda view to it with =C-c C-x <= (or the speed command =<=).
1452 The default setting helps ensuring that you are not adding tasks after the
1453 restricted region. If you find this highlighting too intrusive, set this
1455 **** New option [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]]
1457 When switching back from a =DONE= keyword to a =TODO= keyword, Org now
1458 removes the =CLOSED= planning information, if any. It also removes this
1459 information when going back to a non-TODO state (e.g., with =C-c C-t SPC=).
1460 If you want to keep the =CLOSED= planning information when removing the
1461 TODO keyword, set [[doc:org-closed-keep-when-no-todo][org-closed-keep-when-no-todo]] to =t=.
1463 **** New option [[doc:org-image-actual-width][org-image-actual-width]]
1465 This option allows you to change the width of in-buffer displayed images.
1466 The default is to use the actual width of the image, but you can use a
1467 fixed value for all images, or fall back on an attribute like
1469 : #+attr_html: :width 300px
1470 *** Scheduled/deadline
1472 **** Implement "delay" cookies for scheduled items
1474 If you want to delay the display of a scheduled task in the agenda, you can
1475 now use a delay cookie like this: =SCHEDULED: <2004-12-25 Sat -2d>=. The
1476 task is still scheduled on the 25th but will appear in your agenda starting
1477 from two days later (i.e. from March 27th.)
1479 Imagine for example that your co-workers are not done in due time and tell
1480 you "we need two more days". In that case, you may want to delay the
1481 display of the task in your agenda by two days, but you still want the task
1482 to appear as scheduled on March 25th.
1484 In case the task contains a repeater, the delay is considered to affect all
1485 occurrences; if you want the delay to only affect the first scheduled
1486 occurrence of the task, use =--2d= instead. See [[doc:org-scheduled-delay-days][org-scheduled-delay-days]]
1487 and [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline]] for details on how to
1488 control this globally or per agenda.
1490 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-s= will insert a delay cookie for scheduled tasks
1492 See the previous section for why delay cookies may be useful.
1494 **** Use =C-u C-u C-c C-d= will insert a warning delay for deadline tasks
1496 =C-u C-u C-c C-d= now inserts a warning delay to deadlines.
1497 *** Calendar, diary and appts
1499 **** New variable [[doc:org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map][org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map]]
1501 By default, this new local map uses "." to go to today's date, like in the
1502 normal =M-x calendar RET=. If you want to deactivate this and to reassign
1503 the "@" key to =calendar-goto-today=, use this:
1505 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1506 ;; Unbind "." in Org's calendar:
1507 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map (kbd ".") nil)
1509 ;; Bind "@" to `calendar-goto-today':
1510 (define-key org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map
1512 (lambda () (interactive) (org-eval-in-calendar '(calendar-goto-today))))
1515 **** In Org's calendar, =!= displays diary entries of the date at point
1517 This is useful when you want to check if you don't already have an
1518 appointment when setting new ones with =C-c .= or =C-c s=. =!= will
1519 call =diary-view-entries= and display the diary in a separate buffer.
1521 **** [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]]: only keep the descriptions of links
1523 [[doc:org-diary][org-diary]] returns diary information from Org files, but it returns it
1524 in a diary buffer, not in an Org mode buffer. When links are displayed,
1525 only show their description, not the full links.
1528 **** New agenda type =agenda*= and entry types =:scheduled* :deadline*=
1530 When defining agenda custom commands, you can now use =agenda*=: this will
1531 list entries that have both a date and a time. This is useful when you
1532 want to build a list of appointments.
1534 You can also set [[doc:org-agenda-entry-types][org-agenda-entry-types]] either globally or locally in
1535 each agenda custom command and use =:timestamp*= and/or =:deadline*= there.
1537 Another place where this is useful is your =.diary= file:
1539 : %%(org-diary :scheduled*) ~/org/rdv.org
1541 This will list only entries from =~/org/rdv.org= that are scheduled with a
1542 time value (i.e. appointments).
1544 **** New agenda sorting strategies
1546 [[doc:org-agenda-sorting-strategy][org-agenda-sorting-strategy]] allows these new sorting strategies:
1548 | Strategy | Explanations |
1549 |----------------+------------------------------------------|
1550 | timestamp-up | Sort by any timestamp, early first |
1551 | timestamp-down | Sort by any timestamp, late first |
1552 | scheduled-up | Sort by scheduled timestamp, early first |
1553 | scheduled-down | Sort by scheduled timestamp, late first |
1554 | deadline-up | Sort by deadline timestamp, early first |
1555 | deadline-down | Sort by deadline timestamp, late first |
1556 | ts-up | Sort by active timestamp, early first |
1557 | ts-down | Sort by active timestamp, late first |
1558 | tsia-up | Sort by inactive timestamp, early first |
1559 | tsia-down | Sort by inactive timestamp, late first |
1561 **** New options to limit the number of agenda entries
1563 You can now limit the number of entries in an agenda view. This is
1564 different from filters: filters only /hide/ the entries in the agenda,
1565 while limits are set while generating the list of agenda entries.
1567 These new options are available:
1569 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-entries][org-agenda-max-entries]] :: limit by number of entries.
1570 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] :: limit by number of TODOs.
1571 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-tags][org-agenda-max-tags]] :: limit by number of tagged entries.
1572 - [[doc:org-agenda-max-effort][org-agenda-max-effort]] :: limit by effort (minutes).
1574 For example, if you locally set [[doc:org-agenda-max-todos][org-agenda-max-todos]] to 3 in an agenda
1575 view, the agenda will be limited to the first three todos. Other entries
1576 without a TODO keyword or beyond the third TODO headline will be ignored.
1578 When setting a limit (e.g. about an effort's sum), the default behavior is
1579 to exclude entries that cannot be checked against (e.g. entries that have
1580 no effort property.) To include other entries too, you can set the limit
1581 to a negative number. For example =(setq org-agenda-max-tags -3)= will not
1582 show the fourth tagged headline (and beyond), but it will also show
1583 non-tagged headlines.
1585 **** =~= in agenda view sets temporary limits
1587 You can hit =~= in the agenda to temporarily set limits: this will
1588 regenerate the agenda as if the limits were set. This is useful for
1589 example when you want to only see a list of =N= tasks, or a list of tasks
1590 that take only =N= minutes.
1592 **** "=" in agenda view filters by regular expressions
1594 You can now filter agenda entries by regular expressions using ~=~. =C-u
1595 == will filter entries out. Regexp filters are cumulative. You can set
1596 [[doc:org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset][org-agenda-regexp-filter-preset]] to suit your needs in each agenda view.
1598 **** =|= in agenda view resets all filters
1600 Since it's common to combine tag filters, category filters, and now regexp
1601 filters, there is a new command =|= to reset all filters at once.
1603 **** Allow writing an agenda to an =.org= file
1605 You can now write an agenda view to an =.org= file. It copies the
1606 headlines and their content (but not subheadings) into the new file.
1608 This is useful when you want to quickly share an agenda containing the full
1611 **** New commands to drag an agenda line forward (=M-<down>=) or backward (=M-<up>=)
1613 It sometimes handy to move agenda lines around, just to quickly reorganize
1614 your tasks, or maybe before saving the agenda to a file. Now you can use
1615 =M-<down>= and =M-<up>= to move the line forward or backward.
1617 This does not persist after a refresh of the agenda, and this does not
1618 change the =.org= files who contribute to the agenda.
1620 **** Use =%b= for displaying "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view
1622 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] now allows to use a =%b= formatter to tell Org
1623 to display "breadcrumbs" in the agenda view.
1625 This is useful when you want to display the task hierarchy in your agenda.
1627 **** Use =%l= for displaying the headline's level in the agenda view
1629 [[doc:org-agenda-prefix-format][org-agenda-prefix-format]] allows to use a =%l= formatter to tell Org to
1630 display entries with additional spaces corresponding to their level in the
1633 **** [[doc:org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] will ask before overwriting an existing file
1635 =M-x org-agenda-write RET= (or =C-c C-w= from an agenda buffer) used to
1636 overwrite preexisting file with the same name without confirmation. It now
1637 asks for a confirmation.
1639 **** New commands =M-m= and =M-*= to toggle (all) mark(s) for bulk action
1641 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle][org-agenda-bulk-toggle]] :: this command is bound to =M-m= and toggles
1642 the mark of the entry at point.
1644 - [[doc:org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all][org-agenda-bulk-toggle-all]] :: this command is bound to =M-*= and
1645 toggles all the marks in the current agenda.
1647 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level][org-agenda-search-view-max-outline-level]]
1649 This option sets the maximum outline level to display in search view.
1650 E.g. when this is set to 1, the search view will only show headlines of
1653 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds][org-agenda-todo-ignore-time-comparison-use-seconds]]
1655 This allows to compare times using seconds instead of days when honoring
1656 options like =org-agenda-todo-ignore-*= in the agenda display.
1658 **** New option [[doc:org-agenda-entry-text-leaders][org-agenda-entry-text-leaders]]
1660 This allows you to get rid of the ">" character that gets added in front of
1661 entries excerpts when hitting =E= in the agenda view.
1663 **** New formatting string for past deadlines in [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]
1665 The default formatting for past deadlines is ="%2d d. ago: "=, which makes
1666 it explicit that the deadline is in the past. You can configure this via
1667 [[doc:org-agenda-deadline-leaders][org-agenda-deadline-leaders]]. Note that the width of the formatting
1668 string is important to keep the agenda alignment clean.
1670 **** New allowed value =repeated-after-deadline= for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]]
1672 When [[doc:org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown]] is set to
1673 =repeated-after-deadline=, the agenda will skip scheduled items if they are
1674 repeated beyond the current deadline.
1676 **** New option for [[doc:org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled][org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled]]
1678 This variable may be set to nil, t, the symbol `pre-scheduled', or a number
1679 which will then give the number of days before the actual deadline when the
1680 prewarnings should resume. The symbol `pre-scheduled' eliminates the
1681 deadline prewarning only prior to the scheduled date.
1683 Read the full docstring for details.
1685 **** [[doc:org-class][org-class]] now supports holiday strings in the skip-weeks parameter
1687 For example, this task will now be skipped only on new year's day:
1690 : <%%(org-class 2012 1 1 2013 12 12 2 "New Year's Day")>
1693 **** Allow =C-1= as a prefix for [[doc:org-agenda-capture][org-agenda-capture]] and [[doc:org-capture][org-capture]]
1695 With a =C-1= prefix, the capture mechanism will use the =HH:MM= value at
1696 point (if any) or the current =HH:MM= time as the default time for the
1699 **** Expand keywords within %(sexp) placeholder in capture templates
1701 If you use a =%:keyword= construct within a =%(sexp)= construct, Org will
1702 expand the keywords before expanding the =%(sexp)=.
1704 **** Allow to contextualize capture (and agenda) commands by checking the name of the buffer
1706 [[doc:org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]] and [[doc:org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
1707 allow you to define what capture templates and what agenda commands should
1708 be available in various contexts. It is now possible for the context to
1709 check against the name of the buffer.
1712 Using =#+TAGS: { Tag1 : Tag2 Tag3 }= will define =Tag1= as a /group tag/
1713 (note the colon after =Tag1=). If you search for =Tag1=, it will return
1714 headlines containing either =Tag1=, =Tag2= or =Tag3= (or any combination
1717 You can use group tags for sparse tree in an Org buffer, for creating
1718 agenda views, and for filtering.
1720 See http://orgmode.org/org.html#Tag-groups for details.
1724 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= will ignore non-core link functions
1726 Org knows how to store links from Org buffers, from info files and from
1727 other Emacs buffers. Org can be taught how to store links from any buffer
1728 through new link protocols (see [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Adding-hyperlink-types]["Adding hyperlink types"]] in the manual.)
1730 Sometimes you want Org to ignore added link protocols and store the link
1731 as if the protocol was not known.
1733 You can now do this with =C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET=.
1735 **** =C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link RET= on an active region will store links for each lines
1737 Imagine for example that you want to store a link for every message in a
1738 Gnus summary buffer. In that case =C-x h C-u C-u C-u M-x org-store-link
1739 RET= will store a link for every line (i.e. message) if the region is
1742 **** =C-c C-M-l= will add a default description for links which don't have one
1744 =C-c C-M-l= inserts all stored links. If a link does not have a
1745 description, this command now adds a default one, so that we are not mixing
1746 with-description and without-description links when inserting them.
1748 **** No curly braces to bracket links within internal links
1750 When storing a link to a headline like
1752 : * See [[http://orgmode.org][Org website]]
1754 [[doc:org-store-link][org-store-link]] used to convert the square brackets into curly brackets.
1755 It does not anymore, taking the link description or the link path, when
1756 there is no description.
1759 **** Switching between #+TBLFM lines
1761 If you have several =#+TBLFM= lines below a table, =C-c C-c= on a line will
1762 apply the formulas from this line, and =C-c C-c= on another line will apply
1763 those other formulas.
1765 **** You now use "nan" for empty fields in Calc formulas
1767 If empty fields are of interest, it is recommended to reread the section
1768 [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Formula-syntax-for-Calc][3.5.2 Formula syntax for Calc]] of the manual because the description for the
1769 mode strings has been clarified and new examples have been added towards
1772 **** Handle localized time-stamps in formulas evaluation
1774 If your =LOCALE= is set so that Org time-stamps use another language than
1775 english, and if you make time computations in Org's table, it now works by
1776 internally converting the time-stamps with a temporary =LOCALE=C= before
1779 **** New lookup functions
1781 There are now three lookup functions:
1783 - [[doc:org-loopup-first][org-loopup-first]]
1784 - [[doc:org-loopup-last][org-loopup-last]]
1785 - [[doc:org-loopup-all][org-loopup-all]]
1787 See [[http://orgmode.org/org.html#Lookup-functions][the manual]] for details.
1788 *** Startup keywords
1790 These new startup keywords are now available:
1792 | Startup keyword | Option |
1793 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1794 | =#+STARTUP: logdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer t)= |
1795 | =#+STARTUP: nologdrawer= | =(setq org-log-into-drawer nil)= |
1796 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1797 | =#+STARTUP: logstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed t)= |
1798 | =#+STARTUP: nologstatesreversed= | =(setq org-log-states-order-reversed nil)= |
1799 |----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------|
1800 | =#+STARTUP: latexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview t)= |
1801 | =#+STARTUP: nolatexpreview= | =(setq org-startup-with-latex-preview nil)= |
1805 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]]
1807 E.g. if [[doc:org-clock-rounding-minutes][org-clock-rounding-minutes]] is set to 5, time is 14:47 and you
1808 clock in: then the clock starts at 14:45. If you clock out within the next
1809 5 minutes, the clock line will be removed; if you clock out 8 minutes after
1810 your clocked in, the clock out time will be 14:50.
1812 **** New option [[doc:org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations][org-time-clocksum-use-effort-durations]]
1814 When non-nil, =C-c C-x C-d= uses effort durations. E.g., by default, one
1815 day is considered to be a 8 hours effort, so a task that has been clocked
1816 for 16 hours will be displayed as during 2 days in the clock display or in
1819 See [[doc:org-effort-durations][org-effort-durations]] on how to set effort durations and
1820 [[doc:org-time-clocksum-format][org-time-clocksum-format]] for more on time clock formats.
1822 **** New option [[doc:org-clock-x11idle-program-name][org-clock-x11idle-program-name]]
1824 This allows to set the name of the program which prints X11 idle time in
1825 milliseconds. The default is to use =x11idle=.
1827 **** New option [[doc:org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time][org-use-last-clock-out-time-as-effective-time]]
1829 When non-nil, use the last clock out time for [[doc:org-todo][org-todo]]. Note that this
1830 option has precedence over the combined use of [[doc:org-use-effective-time][org-use-effective-time]] and
1831 [[doc:org-extend-today-until][org-extend-today-until]].
1833 **** =S-<left/right>= on a clocksum column will update the sum by updating the last clock
1834 **** =C-u 3 C-S-<up/down>= will update clock timestamps synchronously by 3 units
1835 **** New parameter =:wstart= for clocktables to define the week start day
1836 **** New parameter =:mstart= to state the starting day of the month
1837 **** Allow relative times in clocktable tstart and tend options
1838 **** The clocktable summary is now a caption
1839 **** =:tstart= and =:tend= and friends allow relative times like "<-1w>" or "<now>"
1842 **** You can now use =C-c C-k= for [[doc:org-edit-src-abort][org-edit-src-abort]]
1844 This allows you to quickly cancel editing a source block.
1846 **** =C-u C-u M-x org-babel-tangle RET= tangles by the target file of the block at point
1848 This is handy if you want to tangle all source code blocks that have the
1849 same target than the block at point.
1851 **** New options for auto-saving the base buffer or the source block editing buffer
1853 When [[doc:org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save][org-edit-src-turn-on-auto-save]] is set to =t=, editing a source block
1854 in a new window will turn on =auto-save-mode= and save the code in a new
1855 file under the same directory than the base Org file.
1857 When [[doc:org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay][org-edit-src-auto-save-idle-delay]] is set to a number of minutes =N=,
1858 the base Org buffer will be saved after this number of minutes of idle
1861 **** New =:post= header argument post-processes results
1863 This header argument may be used to pass the results of the current
1864 code block through another code block for post-processing. See the
1865 manual for a usage example.
1867 **** Commented out heading are ignored when collecting blocks for tangling
1869 If you comment out a heading (with =C-c ;= anywhere on the heading or in
1870 the subtree), code blocks from within this heading are now ignored when
1871 collecting blocks for tangling.
1873 **** New option [[doc:org-babel-hash-show-time][org-babel-hash-show-time]] to show a time-stamp in the result hash
1874 **** Do not ask for confirmation if cached value is current
1876 Do not run [[doc:org-babel-confirm-evaluate][org-babel-confirm-evaluate]] if source block has a cache and the
1877 cache value is current as there is no evaluation involved in this case.
1878 **** =ob-sql.el= and =ob-python.el= have been improved.
1879 **** New Babel files only need to =(require 'ob)=
1881 When writing a new Babel file, you now only need to use =(require 'ob)=
1882 instead of requiring each Babel library one by one.

1914 *** Spanish translation of the Org guide by David Arroyo Menéndez
1916 David (and others) translated the Org compact guide in spanish:
1918 You can read the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/orgguide/orgguide.es.pdf][PDF guide]].
1920 *** ~poporg.el~ and ~outorg.el~
1922 Two new libraries (~poporg.el~ by François Pinard and ~outorg.el~ by
1923 Thorsten Jolitz) now enable editing of comment-sections from source-code
1924 buffers in temporary Org-mode buffers, making the full editing power of
1925 Org-mode available. ~outorg.el~ comes together with ~outshine.el~ and
1926 ~navi-mode.el~, two more libraries by Thorsten Jolitz with the goal to give
1927 source-code buffers the /look & feel/ of Org-mode buffers while greatly
1928 improving navigation and structure editing. A detailed description can be
1929 found here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-outside-org.html
1931 Here are two screencasts demonstrating Thorsten's tools:
1933 - [[http://youtu.be/nqE6YxlY0rw]["Modern conventions for Emacs Lisp files"]]
1934 - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM][Exploring Bernt Hansen's Org-mode tutorial with 'navi-mode']]
1936 *** MobileOrg for iOS
1938 MobileOrg for iOS back in the App Store The 1.6.0 release was focused on
1939 the new Dropbox API and minor bug fixes but also includes a new ability to
1940 launch in Capture mode. Track development and contribute [[https://github.com/MobileOrg/mobileorg/issues][on github]].
1944 ** New option [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]]
1946 [[doc::org-use-tag-inheritance][org-use-tag-inheritance]] controls whether tags are inherited when
1947 org-tags-view is called (either in =tags=, =tags-tree= or =tags-todo=
1950 When generating other agenda types such as =agenda=, =todo= and
1951 =todo-tree=, tags inheritance is not used when selecting the entries
1952 to display. Still, you might want to have all tag information correct
1953 in the agenda buffer, e.g. for tag filtering. In that case, add the
1954 agenda type to this variable.
1956 Setting this variable to nil should considerably speeds up the agenda
1959 Note that the default was to display inherited tags in the agenda
1960 lines even if `org-use-tag-inheritance' was nil. The default is now
1961 to *never* display inherited tags in agenda lines, but to /know/ about
1962 them when the agenda type is listed in [[doc::org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance][org-agenda-use-tag-inheritance]].
1964 ** New default value nil for [[doc::org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks][org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks]]
1966 Using `nil' as the default value speeds up the agenda generation. You
1967 can hit `#' (or `C-u #') in agenda buffers to temporarily dim (or turn
1968 invisible) blocked tasks.
1970 ** New speedy keys for [[doc::org-speed-commands-default][org-speed-commands-default]]
1972 You can now use `:' (instead of `;') for setting tags---this is
1973 consistent with using the `:' key in agenda view.
1975 You can now use `=' for [[doc::org-columns][org-columns]].
1977 ** =org-float= is now obsolete, use =diary-float= instead
1978 ** No GPL manual anymore
1980 There used to be a GPL version of the Org manual, but this is not the
1981 case anymore, the Free Software Foundation does not permit this.
1983 The GNU FDL license is now included in the manual directly.
1985 ** Enhanced compatibility with Emacs 22 and XEmacs
1987 Thanks to Achim for his work on enhancing Org's compatibility with
1988 various Emacsen. Things may not be perfect, but Org should work okay
1989 in most environments.
1993 ** New ELPA repository for Org packages
1995 You can now add the Org ELPA repository like this:
1997 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
1998 (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
2001 It contains both the =org-*.tar= package (the core Org distribution, also
2002 available through http://elpa.gnu.org) and the =org-plus*.tar= package (the
2003 extended Org distribution, with non-GNU packages from the =contrib/=
2006 See http://orgmode.org/elpa/

2026 ** New package and Babel language
2028 *** =org-eshell.el= by Konrad Hinsen is now in Org
2030 =org-eshell.el= allows you to create links from [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eshell/index.html][Eshell]].
2032 *** Support for execution of Scala code blocks (see ob-scala.el)
2033 *** Support for execution of IO code blocks (see ob-io.el)
2035 ** Incompatible changes
2037 - If your code relies on =org-write-agenda=, please use
2038 [[doc::org-agenda-write][org-agenda-write]] from now on.
2040 - If your code relies on =org-make-link=, please use =concat=
2043 - =org-link-to-org-use-id= has been renamed to
2044 =org-id-link-to-org-use-id= and its default value is nil. The
2045 previous default was =create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id=.
2047 ** New features and user-visible changes
2051 =org-element.el= is a toolbox for parsing and analyzing "elements"
2052 in an Org-mode buffer. This has been written by Nicolas Goaziou
2053 and has been tested for quite some time. It is now part of Org's
2054 core and many core functions rely on this package.
2056 Two functions might be particularly handy for users:
2057 =org-element-at-point= and =org-element-context=.
2059 See the docstrings for more details.
2061 Below is a list of editing and navigating commands that now rely
2062 on =org-element.el=.
2064 **** [[doc::org-fill-paragraph][org-fill-paragraph]] has been completely rewritten
2066 The filling mechanisms now rely on org-element, trying to do the
2067 right thing on each element in various contexts. E.g. filling in
2068 a list item will preserve indentation; filling in message-mode
2069 will fall back on the relevant filling functions; etc.
2071 **** [[doc::org-metaup][org-metaup]] and [[doc::org-metadown][org-metadown]] will drag the element backward/forward
2073 If you want to get the old behavior (i.e. moving a line up and
2074 down), you can first select the line as an active region, then
2075 =org-metaup= or =org-metadown= to move the region backward or
2076 forward. This also works with regions bigger than just one line.
2078 **** [[doc::org-up-element][org-up-element]] and [[doc::org-down-element][org-down-element]] (respectively =C-c C-^= and =C-c C-_=)
2080 This will move the point up/down in the hierarchy of elements.
2082 **** [[doc::org-backward-element][org-backward-element]] and [[doc::org-forward-element][org-forward-element]] (respectively =M-{= and =M-}=)
2084 This will move the point backward/forward in the hierarchy of
2087 **** [[doc::org-narrow-to-element][org-narrow-to-element]] will narrow to the element at point
2088 **** [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] will mark the element at point
2090 This command is bound to =M-h= and will mark the element at
2091 point. If the point is at a paragraph, it will mark the
2092 paragraph. If the point is at a list item, it will mark the list
2095 Note that if point is at the beginning of a list, it will mark
2098 To mark a subtree, you can either use =M-h= on the headline
2099 (since there is no ambiguity about the element you're at) or
2100 [[doc::org-mark-subtree][org-mark-subtree]] (=C-c @=) anywhere in the subtree.
2102 Invoking [[doc::org-mark-element][org-mark-element]] repeatedly will try to mark the next
2103 element on top of the previous one(s). E.g. hitting =M-h= twice
2104 on a headline will mark the current subtree and the next one on
2109 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]]
2111 There is a new option =org-agenda-sticky= which enables "sticky"
2112 agendas. Sticky agendas remain opened in the background so that
2113 you don't need to regenerate them each time you hit the
2114 corresponding keystroke. This is a big time saver.
2116 When [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is =non-nil=, the agenda buffer will be
2117 named using the agenda key and its description. In sticky
2118 agendas, the =q= key will just bury the agenda buffers and
2119 further agenda commands will show existing buffer instead of
2120 generating new ones.
2122 If [[doc::org-agenda-sticky][org-agenda-sticky]] is set to =nil=, =q= will kill the single
2125 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts][org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts]]
2127 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
2128 agenda commands should be available from. For example, when set
2131 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2132 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands-contexts
2133 '(("p" (in-file . "\\.txt"))))
2136 then the =p= agenda command will only be available from buffers
2137 visiting *.txt files. See the docstring and the manual for more
2138 details on how to use this.
2140 **** Changes in bulk actions
2142 The set of commands starting with =k ...= as been deleted and the
2143 features have been merged into the "bulk action" feature.
2145 After you marked some entries in the agenda, if you call =B s=,
2146 the agenda entries will be rescheduled using the date at point if
2147 on a date header. If you are on an entry with a timestamp, you
2148 will be prompted for a date to reschedule your marked entries to,
2149 using the timestamp at point as the default prompt.
2151 You can now use =k= to capture the marked entry and use the date
2152 at point as an overriding date for the capture template.
2154 To bind this behavior to =M-x org-capture RET= (or its
2155 keybinding), set the new option [[doc::org-capture-use-agenda-date][org-capture-use-agenda-date]] to
2158 **** =N= and =P= in the agenda will move to the next/previous item
2160 **** New command [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-all][org-agenda-bulk-mark-all]] to mark all items
2162 This new command is bound to =*= in agenda mode.
2164 There is also a new option [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-mark-char][org-agenda-bulk-mark-char]] to set the
2165 character to use as a mark for bulk actions.
2167 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-persistent-marks][org-agenda-persistent-marks]]
2169 When set to =non-nil=, marks will remain visible after a bulk
2170 action. You can temporarily toggle this by pressing =p= when
2171 invoking [[doc::org-agenda-bulk-action][org-agenda-bulk-action]]. Marks are deleted if your
2172 rebuild the agenda buffer or move to another date/span (e.g. with
2175 **** New option [[doc::org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown][org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown]]
2177 =Non-nil= means skip timestamp line if same entry shows because
2180 In the agenda of today, an entry can show up multiple times
2181 because it has both a plain timestamp and has a nearby deadline.
2182 When this variable is t, then only the deadline is shown and the
2183 fact that the entry has a timestamp for or including today is not
2184 shown. When this variable is =nil=, the entry will be shown
2187 **** New =todo-unblocked= and =nottodo-unblocked= skip conditions
2189 See the [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=f426da][git commit]] for more explanations.
2191 **** Allow category filtering in the agenda
2193 You can now filter the agenda by category. Pressing "<" will
2194 filter by the category of the item on the current line, and
2195 pressing "<" again will remove the filter. You can combine tag
2196 filters and category filters.
2198 You can use =org-agenda-category-filter= in your custom agenda
2199 views and =org-agenda-category-filter-preset= in your main
2202 See also the new command [[doc::org-agenda-filter-by-top-category][org-agenda-filter-by-top-category]]:
2203 hitting =^= will filter by "Top" category: only show entries that
2204 are of the same category than the Top category of the entry at
2209 **** Inserting links
2211 When inserting links through [[doc::org-insert-link][org-insert-link]], the description is
2212 now displayed first, followed by the literal link, as the
2213 description is often more useful when you look for the link you
2216 Completion now complete both literal links and description. If
2217 you complete a description, the literal link and its description
2218 will be inserted directly, whereas when you complete the literal
2219 link, you will be prompted for a description (as with Org 7.8.)
2221 In the completion buffer, links to the current buffer are now
2224 **** New templates =%h= and =%(sexp)= for abbreviated links
2226 On top of =%s= template, which is replaced by the link tag in
2227 abbreviated links, you can now use =%h= (which does the same than =%s=
2228 but does not hexify the tag) and =%(sexp)= (which can run a function
2229 that takes the tag as its own argument.)
2231 **** New link type =help=
2233 You can now create links from =help= buffers.
2235 For example, if you request help for the command [[doc::org-agenda][org-agenda]] with
2236 =C-h f org-agenda RET=, creating a link from this buffer will let
2237 you go back to the same buffer.
2239 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-all-links][org-insert-all-links]]
2241 This will insert all links as list items. With a universal
2242 prefix argument, links will not be deleted from the variable
2245 This new command is bound to =C-c C-M-l=.
2247 **** New option [[doc::org-url-hexify-p][org-url-hexify-p]]
2249 When set to =nil=, the =URL= part of a link will not be hexified.
2251 **** Org can now open multiple shell links
2253 **** New option [[doc::org-doi-server-url][org-doi-server-url]] to specify an alternate DOI server
2255 **** RET now follows time stamps links
2259 **** [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] and =org-archive-*= can now loop in the active region
2261 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, using
2262 [[doc::org-todo][org-todo]] or =org-archive-*= commands in the active region will
2263 loop over headlines. This is handy if you want to set the TODO
2264 keyword for several items, or archive them quickly.
2266 **** You can now set tags for headlines in a region
2268 If [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is =non-nil=, then
2269 selecting the region and hitting =C-c C-q= will set the tags for
2270 all headlines in the region.
2272 **** New command [[doc::org-insert-drawer][org-insert-drawer]] to insert a drawer interactively
2274 **** Comments start with "^[ \t]*# " anywhere on a line
2276 Note that the space after the hashtag is mandatory. Comments
2277 with "^#+" are not supported anymore.
2279 **** New speed key =#= to toggle the COMMENT cookie on a headline
2281 **** =indent-region-function= is now set to [[doc::org-indent-region][org-indent-region]]
2283 =C-M-\= should now produce useful results.
2285 You can unindent the buffer with [[doc::org-unindent-buffer][org-unindent-buffer]].
2287 **** New option [[doc::org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree][org-allow-promoting-top-level-subtree]]
2289 When =non-nil=, =S-M-<left>= will promote level-1 subtrees
2290 containing other subtrees. The level-1 headline will be
2291 commented out. You can revert to the previous state with =M-x
2296 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-z= for [[doc::org-clock-resolve][org-clock-resolve]]
2298 **** New keybinding =C-c C-x C-q= for [[doc::org-clock-cancel][org-clock-cancel]]
2300 **** New command [[doc::org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] to clock in the last clocked item
2302 This command is bound to =C-c C-x C-x= and will clock in the last
2303 clocked entry, if any.
2305 **** =C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-out][org-clock-out]] =RET= now prompts for a state to switch to
2307 **** =S-M-<up/down>= on a clock timestamps adjusts the previous/next clock
2309 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-continuously][org-clock-continuously]]
2311 When set to =nil=, clocking in a task will first try to find the
2312 last clocked out task and restart from when that task was clocked
2315 You can temporarily activate continuous clocking with =C-u C-u
2316 C-u M-x= [[doc::org-clock-in][org-clock-in]] =RET= (three universal prefix arguments)
2317 and =C-u C-u M-x= [[org-clock-in-last][org-clock-in-last]] =RET= (two universal prefix
2321 **** New option [[doc::org-clock-frame-title-format][org-clock-frame-title-format]]
2323 This option sets the value of =frame-title-format= when clocking
2326 **** New options for controlling the clockreport display
2328 [[doc::org-clock-file-time-cell-format][org-clock-file-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the file time
2329 cells in clockreport.
2331 [[doc::org-clock-total-time-cell-format][org-clock-total-time-cell-format]]: Format string for the total
2332 time cells in clockreport.
2335 **** New options for controlling the clock/timer display
2337 [[doc::org-clock-clocked-in-display][org-clock-clocked-in-display]]: control whether the current clock
2338 is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
2340 [[doc::org-timer-display][org-timer-display]]: control whether the current timer is displayed
2341 in the mode line and/or frame title.
2343 This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame
2344 title instead of, or as well as, the mode line. This is useful
2345 for people with limited space in the mode line but with ample
2346 space in the frame title.
2350 **** New option [[doc::org-custom-properties][org-custom-properties]]
2352 The visibility of properties listed in this options can be turn
2353 on/off with [[doc::org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility][org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility]]. This might
2354 be useful for properties used by third-part tools or that you
2355 don't want to see temporarily.
2357 **** New command [[doc::org-redisplay-inline-images][org-redisplay-inline-images]]
2359 This will redisplay all images. It is bound to =C-c C-x C-M-v=.
2361 **** New entities in =org-entities.el=
2363 There are these new entities:
2365 : ("tilde" "\\~{}" nil "˜" "~" "~" "~")
2366 : ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
2367 : ("plus" "+" nil "+" "+" "+" "+")
2368 : ("under" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")
2369 : ("equal" "=" nil "=" "=" "=" "=")
2370 : ("asciicirc" "\\textasciicircum{}" nil "^" "^" "^" "^")
2372 **** New face =org-list-dt= for definition terms
2373 **** New face =org-date-selected= for the selected calendar day
2374 **** New face value for =org-document-title=
2376 The face is back to a normal height.
2380 **** New speed command =:= to activate the column view
2381 **** New special property =CLOCKSUM_T= to display today's clocked time
2383 You can use =CLOCKSUM_T= the same way you use =CLOCKSUM=. It
2384 will display the time spent on tasks for today only.
2386 **** Use the =:COLUMNS:= property in columnview dynamic blocks
2388 If the =:COLUMNS:= is set in a subtree, the columnview dynamic
2389 block will use its value as the column format.
2391 **** Consider inline tasks when computing a sum
2393 *** Org Dates and Time Stamps
2395 **** Enhanced [[doc::org-sparse-tree][org-sparse-tree]]
2397 =C-c /= can now check for time ranges.
2399 When checking for dates with =C-c /= it is useful to change the
2400 type of dates that you are interested in. You can now do this
2401 interactively with =c= after =C-c /= and/or by setting
2402 [[doc::org-sparse-tree-default-date-type][org-sparse-tree-default-date-type]] to the default value you want.
2404 **** Support for hourly repeat cookies
2408 : SCHEDULED: <2012-08-20 lun. 08:00 +1h>
2410 if you want to add an hourly repeater to an entry.
2412 **** =C-u C-u C-c .= inserts a time-stamp with no prompt
2414 **** When (setq [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] 'time), accept days in the prompt
2416 "8am Wed" and "Wed 8am" are now acceptable values when entering a
2417 date from the prompt. If [[doc::org-read-date-prefer-future][org-read-date-prefer-future]] is set to
2418 =time=, this will produce the expected prompt indication.
2420 **** New option [[doc::org-datetree-add-timestamp][org-datetree-add-timestamp]]
2422 When set to =non-nil=, datetree entries will also have a
2423 timestamp. This is useful if you want to see these entries in a
2424 sparse tree with =C-c /=.
2428 **** New command [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]]
2430 M-x [[doc::org-capture-string][org-capture-string]] RET will prompt for a string and a capture
2431 template. The string will be used as an annotation for the
2432 template. This is useful when capturing in batch mode as it lets
2433 you define the content of the template without being in Emacs.
2435 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-templates-contexts][org-capture-templates-contexts]]
2437 Setting this option allows you to define specific context where
2438 capture templates should be available from. For example, when
2441 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2442 (setq org-capture-templates-contexts
2443 '(("c" (in-mode . "message-mode"))))
2446 then the =c= capture template will only be available from
2447 =message-mode= buffers. See the docstring and the manual for
2448 more details on how to use this.
2450 **** New =%l= template to insert the literal link
2451 **** New option [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]]
2453 Org used to automatically add a bookmark with capture a note.
2454 You can now turn this on by setting [[doc::org-capture-bookmark][org-capture-bookmark]] to
2457 **** Expand =%<num>= escape sequences into text entered for <num>'th =%^{PROMPT}= escape
2459 See the manual for more explanations.
2461 **** More control over empty lines
2463 You can use =:empty-lines-before= and =:empty-lines-after= to
2464 control the insertion of empty lines. Check the manual for more
2467 **** New hook [[doc::org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook][org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook]]
2469 This new hook runs before the finalization process starts.
2473 **** New functions =orgtbl-to-table.el= and =orgtbl-to-unicode=
2475 =orgtbl-to-table.el= convert the table to a =table.el= table, and
2476 =orgtbl-to-unicode= will use =ascii-art-to-unicode.el= (when
2477 available) to print beautiful tables.
2479 **** [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]] now a bit clever about the target format
2481 When you specify a file name like =table.csv=, [[doc::org-table-export][org-table-export]]
2482 will now suggest =orgtbl-to-csv= the default method for exporting
2485 **** New option [[doc::org-export-date-timestamp-format][org-export-date-timestamp-format]]
2487 The option allows to set a time string format for Org timestamps
2488 in the #+DATE option.
2490 **** LaTeX: New options for exporting table rules :tstart, :hline and :tend
2492 See [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-hline][org-export-latex-tables-hline]] and [[doc::org-export-latex-tables-tend][org-export-latex-tables-tend]].
2494 **** LaTeX: You can now set =:hfmt= from =#+ATTR_LaTeX=
2495 **** Beamer: Add support and keybinding for the =exampleblock= environment
2497 Add support for these languages in [[doc::org-export-language-setup][org-export-language-setup]].
2498 More languages are always welcome.
2500 **** Beamer: New option [[doc::org-beamer-inherited-properties][org-beamer-inherited-properties]]
2502 This option allows Beamer export to inherit some properties.
2503 Thanks to Carsten for implementing this.
2505 **** ODT: Add support for ODT export in org-bbdb.el
2506 **** ODT: Add support for indented tables (see [[http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=e9fd33][this commit]] for details)
2507 **** ODT: Improve the conversion from ODT to other formats
2508 **** ASCII: Swap the level-1/level-2 characters to underline the headlines
2509 **** Support for Chinese, simplified Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian and Japanese
2510 **** HTML: New option [[doc::org-export-html-date-format-string][org-export-html-date-format-string]]
2512 Format string to format the date and time in HTML export. Thanks
2513 to Sébastien Vauban for this patch.
2517 **** New =:results drawer= parameter
2519 =:results drawer= replaces =:results wrap=, which is deprecated but still
2522 **** =:results org= now put results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block
2524 =:results org= used to put results in a =#+BEGIN_ORG= block but it now puts
2525 results in a =#+BEGIN_SRC org= block, with comma-escaped lines.
2527 =#+BEGIN_ORG= blocks are obsolete.
2529 **** Exporting =#+BEGIN_SRC org= blocks exports the code
2531 It used to exports the results of the code.
2535 **** New menu entry for [[doc::org-refile][org-refile]]
2536 **** Allow capturing to encrypted entries
2538 If you capture to an encrypted entry, it will be decrypted before
2539 inserting the template then re-encrypted after finalizing the capture.
2541 **** Inactive timestamps are now handled in tables
2543 Calc can do computation on active time-stamps like <2012-09-29 sat.>.
2544 Inactive time-stamps in a table's cell are now internally deactivated so
2545 that Calc formulas can operate on them.
2547 **** [[doc::org-table-number-regexp][org-table-number-regexp]] can now accept comma as decimal mark
2548 **** Org allows a new property =APPT_WARNTIME=
2550 You can set it with the =W= speedy key or set it manually. When
2551 set, exporting to iCalendar and [[doc::org-agenda-to-appt][org-agenda-to-appt]] will use the
2552 value of this property as the number of minutes for the warning
2555 **** New command [[doc::org-inc-effort][org-inc-effort]]
2557 This will increment the effort value.
2559 It is bound to =C-c C-x E= and to =E= as a speedy command.
2561 **** Attach: Add support for creating symbolic links
2563 =org-attach-method= now supports a new method =lns=, allowing to
2564 attach symbolic links.
2566 **** Archive: you can now archive to a datetree
2568 **** New option [[doc::org-inlinetask-show-first-star][org-inlinetask-show-first-star]]
2570 =Non-nil= means display the first star of an inline task as
2571 additional marker. When =nil=, the first star is not shown.
2573 **** New option [[doc::org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory][org-latex-preview-ltxpng-directory]]
2575 This lets you define the path for the =ltxpng/= directory.
2577 **** You can now use imagemagick instead of dvipng to preview LaTeX fragments
2578 **** You can now turn off [[doc::orgstruct++-mode][orgstruct++-mode]] safely
2579 **** =C-u C-c C-c= on list items to add check boxes
2581 =C-u C-c C-c= will add an empty check box on a list item.
2583 When hit from the top of the list, it will add check boxes for
2584 all top level list items.
2586 **** =org-list-ending-method= and =org-list-end-regexp= are now obsolete
2588 Fall back on using =org-list-end-re= only, which see.
2590 **** org-feed.el now expands =%(sexp)= templates
2591 **** New option [[doc::org-protocol-data-separator][org-protocol-data-separator]]
2593 **** New option [[doc::org-ditaa-jar-option][org-ditaa-jar-option]] to specify the ditaa jar file
2595 **** New possible value for [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]]
2597 When [[doc::org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region][org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region]] is set to
2598 =start-level=, the command will loop over the active region but
2599 will only act upon entries that are of the same level than the
2600 first headline in the region.
2602 **** New option [[doc::org-habit-show-all-today][org-habit-show-all-today]]
2604 When set to =t=, show all (even unscheduled) habits on today's
2607 ** Important bug fixes
2609 *** M-TAB on options keywords perform completion correctly again
2611 If you hit =M-TAB= on keywords like =#+TITLE=, Org will try to
2612 perform completion with meaningful values.
2614 *** Add licenses to javascript embedded and external code snippets
2616 Embedded javascript code produced when exporting an Org file to
2617 HTML is now licensed under GPLv3 (or later), and the copyright is
2618 owned by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
2620 The javascript code for embedding MathJax in the browser mentions
2621 the MathJax copyright and the Apache 2.0 license.
2623 The javascript code for embedding =org-injo.js= in the browser
2624 mentions the copyright of Sebastian Rose and the GPLv3 (or later)
2627 =org-export-html-scripts= is now a variable, so that you can adapt
2628 the code and the license to your needs.
2630 See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html for
2631 explanations on why these changes were necessary.
2635 ** Incompatible changes
2637 *** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
2639 Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
2641 *** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
2643 To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
2644 version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
2645 but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that
2646 made it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
2649 *** New keys for TODO sparse trees
2651 The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO
2652 sparse trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done
2653 states) and =C-c / T= (specific states).
2655 *** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
2657 The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
2658 =org-agenda-span= instead.
2660 Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
2662 *** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
2664 So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header
2665 of the LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls
2666 necessary for the document. This setup makes it difficult to
2667 maintain the list of packages that Org itself would like to call,
2668 for example for the special symbol support it needs.
2670 First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following
2671 way: You can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I
2672 will take responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If
2673 that is what you want, add this to your configuration and skip the
2674 rest of this section (except maybe for the description of the
2675 =[EXTRA]= place holder):
2677 #+begin_src emacs-lisp
2678 (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
2679 org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
2682 /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified
2685 There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
2686 packages that need to be included in all classes. The header
2687 definition in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain
2688 the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
2690 The two new variables are:
2692 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the
2693 variable where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.
2694 Normally you should not change this variable. The only
2695 reason to change it anyway is when one of these packages
2696 causes a conflict with another package you want to use. Then
2697 you can remove that packages and hope that you are not using
2698 Org-mode functionality that needs it.
2700 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where
2701 you can put the packages that you'd like to use across all
2704 The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
2707 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
2708 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
2709 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
2710 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
2712 If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or
2713 if you want, for a specific class, have full control over the
2714 header and exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can
2715 put the following macro-like place holders into the header:
2718 [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
2719 [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
2720 [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
2721 [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
2722 [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
2723 [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
2726 If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you
2727 should revise that customization and remove any package calls that
2728 are covered by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This
2729 applies to the following packages:
2747 If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package
2748 you are using, you can remove it from
2749 =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. But then you risk that
2750 some of the advertised export features of Org will not work
2753 You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes
2754 to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place
2755 holders so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As
2756 said above, for backward compatibility, if you omit the place
2757 holders, all the variables will dump their content at the end of
2760 *** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
2762 Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which
2763 is defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was
2764 an internal variable, but it is possible that some users did write
2767 *** =org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist= has changed
2769 Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
2771 *** Deleted =org-mode-p=
2773 This function has been deleted: please update your code.
2775 ** Important new features
2777 *** New Org to ODT exporter
2779 Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
2781 To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation
2782 for more information on how to customize it.
2784 *** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
2786 This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only
2787 describes org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to
2788 use org-remember, we keep a static copy of the former manual
2789 section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about remember]].
2791 The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
2792 possibilities for capturing different types of data. See
2793 [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's announcement]] for more details.
2795 To switch over to the new system:
2799 : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
2801 to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
2802 new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
2803 but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
2804 place to modify your templates. After running this command,
2805 enter the customize buffer for this variable with
2807 : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
2809 and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
2812 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
2815 : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
2817 If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
2818 you have decided to move over completely to the new
2819 implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
2820 with using both system in parallel.
2824 *** New Org libraries
2825 **** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
2827 Implement links to eshell buffers.
2829 **** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
2831 This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
2833 To use, put the following in your init file:
2836 (require 'org-special-blocks)
2839 The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed
2840 previously. This package generalizes them (at least for the
2841 LaTeX and html exporters). When a #+begin_foo token is
2842 encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
2843 into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not
2844 protected, as text inside environments generally is.
2845 When #+begin_foo is encountered by the html exporter, a div with
2846 class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It is up to the user
2847 to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is to mean
2850 **** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
2852 Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.
2853 He also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
2855 **** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
2857 Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
2858 functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
2859 etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
2862 This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
2863 call function to do something special with text links.
2865 Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
2867 **** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
2869 This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
2870 Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
2871 to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
2874 : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
2876 Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
2878 *** New Babel libraries
2880 - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
2881 - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
2882 - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
2883 - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
2884 - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
2885 - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
2886 - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
2888 ** Other new features and various enhancements
2892 **** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
2894 Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
2895 data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
2896 single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
2897 stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
2898 free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
2899 standard bibtex reference types and fields.
2901 The key new functions are
2903 - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
2904 (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
2905 for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
2907 - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
2908 using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
2910 - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
2911 formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
2913 - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
2914 to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
2916 **** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
2918 You can now create links from messages. This is particularly
2919 useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
2920 later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
2922 **** Modified link escaping
2924 David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
2926 : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
2927 : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
2928 : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
2929 : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
2932 : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
2933 : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
2934 : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
2935 : percent escaped links are solved.
2937 Thanks a lot to David for this work.
2939 **** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
2941 When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
2942 file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
2944 Patch by Stephen Eglen.
2946 **** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
2948 The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
2949 changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
2950 are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
2951 to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
2952 string to be executed.
2954 For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
2955 =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry
2959 Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
2960 Command: evince "%s" -p %1
2963 Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
2967 **** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
2969 You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
2970 when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
2971 (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
2972 today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
2974 You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
2975 will work on the current entry.
2977 You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
2978 (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
2980 Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
2982 **** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
2984 So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
2987 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2988 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
2993 **** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
2995 This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
2996 value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
2997 details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
2999 **** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
3001 The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
3002 to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
3003 entries using a function.
3005 Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
3006 Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
3007 [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
3009 **** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
3011 Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See
3012 the new variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to
3013 C. A. Webber for a patch to this effect.
3015 **** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
3017 =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a
3018 random number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.
3019 This is useful if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today,
3020 you realize you'll never deal with them all, and you just want
3021 them to be distributed across the next N days. When called with
3022 a prefix arg, rescheduling will avoid weekend days.
3024 Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
3028 **** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
3030 When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring
3031 the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
3033 When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the
3034 docstring of these variable for details about available
3037 You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same
3038 way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a
3039 formatting string will insert a string.
3041 **** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
3043 While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to
3044 improve the LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide
3045 representations for many of the entities in Latin-1, and for all
3046 of them in UTF-8. This means that we can now export files rich
3047 in special symbols to Latin-1 and to UTF-8 files. These new
3048 exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c C-e n= and =C-c
3049 C-e u=, respectively.
3051 When there is no representation for a given symbol in the
3052 targeted coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
3053 representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
3054 example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".
3055 Please use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state
3058 **** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
3060 The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a
3061 class name to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
3063 **** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
3065 This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
3066 =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
3068 **** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
3070 Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
3071 to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
3072 presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
3073 support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
3074 section]] in the manual for more details.
3076 Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
3077 BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
3078 for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
3083 **** Refile targets can now be cached
3085 You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
3086 =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you
3087 have many eligible targets in many files. If you need to update
3088 the cache because Org misses a newly created entry or still
3089 offers a deleted one, press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
3091 **** New logging support for refiling
3093 Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be
3094 added to this entry. For details, see the new option
3097 Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
3101 **** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegley's pcomplete.el
3103 Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
3107 **** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
3109 See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of
3110 Org's core. Thanks to Juan!
3112 **** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
3114 When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will
3115 the displayed in the buffer.
3117 Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
3119 **** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
3121 If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in
3122 Calc formulas or Elisp formulas:
3124 | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
3125 |--------+--------+---------|
3126 | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
3127 #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
3129 Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are
3132 Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and
3135 **** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
3137 Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
3139 : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
3140 : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
3147 : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
3148 : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
3151 Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
3153 **** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
3155 Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also,
3156 there is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
3158 Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
3162 **** Improved handling of lists
3164 Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
3166 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in
3167 lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item
3168 doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more
3171 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
3172 variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
3173 counters like [@c] or [@W].
3175 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
3176 blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are
3177 controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and
3178 `org-list-export-context'.
3180 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will
3181 keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text
3182 and make paragraphs and still not break the list.
3184 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with
3185 standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a
3186 prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and
3187 make every line in region an item. It permits to easily
3188 integrate paragraphs inside a list.
3190 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be
3191 used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no
3192 blank line around, without breaking list structure.
3194 Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
3196 *** Inline display of linked images
3198 Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does
3199 toggle the display of such images. Note that only image links
3200 that have no description part will be inlined.
3202 *** Implement offsets for ordered lists
3204 If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different
3205 from 1, you can now do it like this:
3207 : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
3209 *** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
3211 In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the
3212 code that is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents,
3213 augmented with the extra code which assigns the referenced data to
3214 variables. It is now possible to preview expanded contents, and
3215 also to expand code during during tangling. This expansion takes
3216 into account all header arguments, and variables.
3218 A new keybinding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block'
3219 can be used from inside of a source code block to preview its
3220 expanded contents (which can be very useful for debugging).
3223 The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable
3224 values which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or
3225 stored in headline properties or tables. One possible use for this
3226 is to allow those using org-babel for their emacs initialization
3227 to store values (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline
3228 properties or in tables.
3230 Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
3231 behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column
3232 names, and rownames across all languages.
3234 *** Editing Convenience and Appearance
3236 **** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
3238 This command will copy the visible text in the region into the
3239 kill ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to
3240 Carsten for adding it to org.el and documenting it!
3242 **** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
3244 See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a
3245 request by Scott Otterson.
3247 **** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
3249 The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special
3250 entities like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub
3251 and superscripts are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower
3252 display, in a smaller font). If you want to exclude sub- and
3253 superscripts, see the variable
3254 =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
3256 Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
3258 **** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
3260 The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
3261 displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for
3262 author, date, and email information. This is implemented by the
3263 following new faces:
3265 =org-document-title=
3267 =org-document-info-keyword=
3269 In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to
3270 make the corresponding keywords disappear.
3272 Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
3274 **** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
3276 The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
3277 =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as
3278 specifications. The colors will be used as either foreground or
3279 background color for the corresponding keyword. See also the
3280 variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face
3281 property is affected by this setting.
3283 This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.
3284 The change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
3286 **** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
3288 Requested by Michael Brand.
3290 **** Better level cycling function
3292 =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline
3293 through likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved
3294 version of this function, which does not depend upon when exactly
3295 this command is used. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
3297 **** Adaptive filling
3299 For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle
3300 the base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is
3301 now fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">"
3302 comments to be filled correctly.
3304 Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
3306 **** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
3308 Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
3310 **** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
3312 When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now
3313 assigns more meaningful characters based on the keywords.
3315 Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
3319 **** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
3321 Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will
3322 increase/decrease the two timestamps on this line so that
3323 duration will keep the same. Note that duration can still be
3324 slightly modified in case a timestamp needs some rounding.
3326 Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
3328 **** Localized clock tables
3330 Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing
3331 the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See
3332 the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls
3333 available translated strings.
3335 **** Show clock overruns in mode line
3337 When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the
3338 planned time is now made visible in the mode line, for example
3339 using the new face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an
3340 extra string given by =org-task-overrun-text=.
3342 Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
3344 **** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
3346 If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls
3347 into the scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent
3348 can be added to the total. This behavior depends on the setting
3349 of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is
3352 Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
3356 **** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
3358 There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.
3359 See the new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
3361 Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
3363 **** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
3365 This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if
3366 some upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it
3367 would like to have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a
3370 Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this
3373 **** New helper functions in org-table.el
3375 There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
3376 This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
3381 org-table-current-line
3385 **** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
3387 The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have
3388 archived entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target
3391 This was requested by Tom.
3393 **** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
3395 This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for
3396 example by viewing from the agenda.
3398 This was a request by Matt Lundin.
