* Incompatible changes
|
|
|
|
** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.01
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
|
|
|
|
** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.01
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
|
|
version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
|
|
but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that made
|
|
it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
|
|
last-minute save.
|
|
|
|
** New keys for TODO sparse trees
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.01
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO sparse
|
|
trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done states) and =C-c /
|
|
T= (specific states).
|
|
|
|
** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.4
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use =org-agenda-span= instead.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
|
|
|
|
** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header of the
|
|
LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls necessary for the
|
|
document. This setup makes it difficult to maintain the list of
|
|
packages that Org itself would like to call, for example for the special
|
|
symbol support it needs.
|
|
|
|
First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following way: You
|
|
can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I will take
|
|
responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If that is what you
|
|
want, add this to your configuration and skip the rest of this section
|
|
(except maybe for the description of the =[EXTRA]= place holder):
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
|
|
org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
|
|
#+end_src /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified setup./
|
|
|
|
There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
|
|
packages that need to be included in all classes. The header definition
|
|
in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).
|
|
|
|
The two new variables are:
|
|
|
|
1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the variable
|
|
where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs. Normally you
|
|
should not change this variable. The only reason to change it
|
|
anyway is when one of these packages causes a conflict with another
|
|
package you want to use. Then you can remove that packages and
|
|
hope that you are not using Org-mode functionality that needs it.
|
|
|
|
2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where you
|
|
can put the packages that you'd like to use across all classes.
|
|
|
|
The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
|
|
document are:
|
|
|
|
1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
|
|
2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
|
|
3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
|
|
4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
|
|
|
|
If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or if you
|
|
want, for a specific class, have full control over the header and
|
|
exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can put the following
|
|
macro-like place holders into the header:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example
|
|
[DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
|
|
[NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
|
|
[PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
|
|
[NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
|
|
[EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
|
|
[NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you should
|
|
revise that customization and remove any package calls that are covered
|
|
by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This applies to the
|
|
following packages:
|
|
|
|
- inputenc
|
|
- fontenc
|
|
- fixltx2e
|
|
- graphicx
|
|
- longtable
|
|
- float
|
|
- wrapfig
|
|
- soul
|
|
- t1enc
|
|
- textcomp
|
|
- marvosym
|
|
- wasysym
|
|
- latexsym
|
|
- amssymb
|
|
- hyperref
|
|
|
|
If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package you are
|
|
using, you can remove it from =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=.
|
|
But then you risk that some of the advertised export features of Org
|
|
will not work properly.
|
|
|
|
You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place holders
|
|
so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As said above,
|
|
for backward compatibility, if you omit the place holders, all the
|
|
variables will dump their content at the end of the header.
|
|
|
|
** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which is
|
|
defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was an internal
|
|
variable, but it is possible that some users did write code using it.
|
|
|
|
** `org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist' has changed
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.5
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
|
|
|
|
** Deleted =org-mode-p=
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.8
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
This function has been deleted: please update your code.
|
|
|
|
* Important new features
|
|
|
|
** New Org to ODT exporter
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.8
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
|
|
|
|
To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation for more
|
|
information on how to customize it.
|
|
|
|
** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.01
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only describes
|
|
org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to use org-remember,
|
|
we keep a static copy of the former manual section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about
|
|
remember]].
|
|
|
|
The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
|
|
possibilities for capturing different types of data. See [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's
|
|
announcement]] for more details.
|
|
|
|
To switch over to the new system:
|
|
|
|
1. Run
|
|
|
|
: M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
|
|
|
|
to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
|
|
new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
|
|
but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
|
|
place to modify your templates. After running this command,
|
|
enter the customize buffer for this variable with
|
|
|
|
: M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
|
|
|
|
and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
|
|
customization.
|
|
|
|
2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
|
|
with org-remember:
|
|
|
|
: (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
|
|
|
|
If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
|
|
you have decided to move over completely to the new
|
|
implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
|
|
with using both system in parallel.
|
|
|
|
* New libraries
|
|
|
|
** New Org libraries
|
|
*** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.8
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Implement links to eshell buffers.
|
|
|
|
*** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.8
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
|
|
|
|
To use, put the following in your init file:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
|
|
(require 'org-special-blocks)
|
|
#+END_EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed previously. This
|
|
package generalizes them (at least for the LaTeX and html exporters). When
|
|
a #+begin_foo token is encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
|
|
into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not protected, as
|
|
text inside environments generally is. When #+begin_foo is encountered by
|
|
the html exporter, a div with class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It
|
|
is up to the user to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is
|
|
to mean anything.
|
|
|
|
*** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.01
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org. He
|
|
also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
|
|
|
|
*** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.34
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
|
|
functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to etags, also
|
|
in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file /org-ctags.el/.
|
|
|
|
This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will call
|
|
function to do something special with text links.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
|
|
|
|
*** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.34
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
|
|
Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
|
|
to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
|
|
Org-mode manual:
|
|
|
|
: [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
|
|
|
|
** New Babel libraries
|
|
|
|
- ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
|
|
- ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
|
|
- ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
|
|
- ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
|
|
- ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
|
|
- ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
|
|
- ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
|
|
|
|
* Other new features and various enhancements
|
|
|
|
** Hyperlinks
|
|
|
|
*** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.6
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
|
|
data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
|
|
single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
|
|
stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
|
|
free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
|
|
standard bibtex reference types and fields.
|
|
|
|
The key new functions are
|
|
|
|
- org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
|
|
(and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
|
|
for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
|
|
|
|
- org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
|
|
using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
|
|
|
|
- org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
|
|
formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
|
|
|
|
- org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
|
|
to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.5
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
You can now create links from messages. This is particularily
|
|
useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
|
|
later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Modified link escaping
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.5
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
|
|
|
|
: Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
|
|
: in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
|
|
: in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
|
|
: a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
|
|
: link).
|
|
:
|
|
: With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
|
|
: unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
|
|
: Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
|
|
: percent escaped links are solved.
|
|
|
|
Thanks a lot to David for this work.
|

*** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
|
|
file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
|
|
|
|
Patch by Stephen Eglen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
|
|
changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
|
|
are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
|
|
to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
|
|
string to be executed.
|
|
|
|
For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry to
|
|
org-file-apps:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example
|
|
Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
|
|
Command: evince "%s" -p %1
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
|
|
|
|
** Dates and time
|
|
|
|
*** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.7
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
|
|
when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
|
|
(or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
|
|
today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
|
|
|
|
You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
|
|
will work on the current entry.
|
|
|
|
You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
|
|
(bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
|
|
|
|
#+begin_example
|
|
2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
|
|
2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
|
|
#+end_example
|
|
|
|
** Agenda
|
|
|
|
*** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.8
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
|
|
value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
|
|
details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.8
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
|
|
to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
|
|
entries using a function.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
|
|
Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
|
|
[[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.4
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See the new
|
|
variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to C. A. Webber for
|
|
a patch to this effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.4
|
|
:END: =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a random
|
|
number of days into the future, with 7 as the default. This is useful
|
|
if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today, you realize you'll
|
|
never deal with them all, and you just want them to be distributed
|
|
across the next N days. When called with a prefix arg, rescheduling
|
|
will avoid weekend days.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
|
|
|
|
** Exporting
|
|
|
|
*** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.5
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
|
|
|
|
When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the docstring
|
|
of these variable for details about available %-sequences.
|
|
|
|
You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same way: `t'
|
|
means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a formatting string
|
|
will insert a string.
|
|
|
|
*** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to improve the
|
|
LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide representations for many
|
|
of the entities in Latin-1, and for all of them in UTF-8. This means
|
|
that we can now export files rich in special symbols to Latin-1 and to
|
|
UTF-8 files. These new exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c
|
|
C-e n= and =C-c C-e u=, respectively.
|
|
|
|
When there is no representation for a given symbol in the targeted
|
|
coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
|
|
representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
|
|
example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]". Please
|
|
use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state your
|
|
preference.
|
|
|
|
*** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a class name
|
|
to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
|
|
|
|
*** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
This behavior can be configured with the new option variable =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
|
|
|
|
*** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.34
|

Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in to
|
|
BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple presentations is
|
|
straight forward, and there is also quite some support to make richer
|
|
presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER section]] in the manual for more
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about BEAMER
|
|
support and how it should work. This was a great example for how this
|
|
community can achieve a much better result than any individual could.

** Refiling
|
|
|
|
*** Refile targets can now be cached
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.01
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you have many
|
|
eligible targets in many files. If you need to update the cache
|
|
because Org misses a newly created entry or still offers a deleted one,
|
|
press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
|
|
|
|
*** New logging support for refiling
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be added
|
|
to this entry. For details, see the new option =org-log-refile=.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.

|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.8

*** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.6
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in Calc
|
|
formulas or Elisp formulas:
|
|
|
|
| Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
|
|
|--------+--------+---------|
|
|
| 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
|
|
#+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
|
|
|
|
Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are optional.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and feedback
|
|
on this.

*** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.5
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
|
|
|
|
: A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
|
|
: row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
|
|
: things like
|
|
:
|
|
: @3=
|
|
: @2$2..@5$7=
|
|
: @I$2..@II$4=
|
|
:
|
|
: as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
|
|
: is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
|
|
: table.
|
|
|
|
Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
|

*** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.4
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also, there
|
|
is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
|

|
** Lists
|
|
|
|
*** Improved handling of lists
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.5
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
|
|
|
|
1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in lists. So, some
|
|
text less indented than the previous item doesn't close the whole
|
|
list anymore, only all items more indented than it.
|
|
|
|
2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
|
|
variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
|
|
counters like [@c] or [@W].
|
|
|
|
3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
|
|
blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are controlling
|
|
this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and `org-list-export-context'.
|
|
|
|
4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will keep
|
|
text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text and make
|
|
paragraphs and still not break the list.
|
|
|
|
5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with standard
|
|
text, it will change the region into one item. With a prefix
|
|
argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and make every
|
|
line in region an item. It permits to easily integrate paragraphs
|
|
inside a list.
|
|
|
|
6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be used
|
|
inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no blank line
|
|
around, without breaking list structure.
|
|
|
|
Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
|
|
|
|
** Inline display of linked images
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.36
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does toggle the
|
|
display of such images. Note that only image links that have no
|
|
description part will be inlined.
|
|
|
|
** Implement offsets for ordered lists
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.36
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different from
|
|
1, you can now do it like this:
|
|
|
|
: 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
|
|
|
|
** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.36
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the code that
|
|
is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents, augmented with
|
|
the extra code which assigns the referenced data to variables. It is now
|
|
possible to preview expanded contents, and also to expand code during
|
|
during tangling. This expansion takes into account all header arguments,
|
|
and variables.
|
|
|
|
A new key-binding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block' can
|
|
be used from inside of a source code block to preview its expanded
|
|
contents (which can be very useful for debugging). tangling
|
|
|
|
The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable values
|
|
which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or stored in
|
|
headline properties or tables. One possible use for this is to allow
|
|
those using org-babel for their emacs initialization to store values
|
|
(e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline properties or in tables.
|
|
|
|
Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
|
|
behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column names,
|
|
and rownames across all languages.
|
|
|
|
** Editing Convenience and Appearance
|
|
|
|
*** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.7
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
This command will copy the visible text in the region into the kill
|
|
ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to Carsten for
|
|
adding it to org.el and documenting it!
|
|
|
|
*** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.01
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a request
|
|
by Scott Otterson.
|
|
|
|
*** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.01
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special entities
|
|
like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub and superscripts
|
|
are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower display, in a smaller
|
|
font). If you want to exclude sub- and superscripts, see the variable =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
|
|
|
|
*** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
|
|
displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for author,
|
|
date, and email information. This is implemented by the following new
|
|
faces: =org-document-title= =org-document-info= =org-document-info-keyword=
|
|
|
|
In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to make the
|
|
corresponding keywords disappear.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
|
|
|
|
*** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as specifications.
|
|
The colors will be used as either foreground or background color for
|
|
the corresponding keyword. See also the variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face property is
|
|
affected by this setting.
|
|
|
|
This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces. The
|
|
change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
|
|
|
|
*** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Requested by Michael Brand.
|

|
|
*** Better level cycling function
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END: =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline through
|
|
likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved version of this
|
|
function, which does not depend upon when exactly this command is used.
|
|
Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
|
|
|
|
*** Adaptive filling
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle the
|
|
base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is now
|
|
fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">" comments to be
|
|
filled correctly.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
|
|
|
|
*** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
|
|
|
|
*** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now assigns more
|
|
meaningful characters based on the keywords.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.

|
|
** Clocking
|
|
|
|
*** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.7
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will increase/decrease
|
|
the two timestamps on this line so that duration will keep the same.
|
|
Note that duration can still be slightly modified in case a timestamp
|
|
needs some rounding.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
|
|
|
|
*** Localized clock tables
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.5
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing the user
|
|
to customize the localization of the table headers. See the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls available
|
|
translated strings.
|
|
|
|
*** Show clock overruns in mode line
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the planned
|
|
time is now made visible in the mode line, for example using the new
|
|
face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an extra string given
|
|
by =org-task-overrun-text=.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
|
|
|
|
*** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls into the
|
|
scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent can be added
|
|
to the total. This behavior depends on the setting of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is =nil=.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
|
|
|
|
** Misc
|
|
|
|
*** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.4
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks. See the
|
|
new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
|
|
|
|
*** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 7.01
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if some
|
|
upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it would like to
|
|
have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a property) back.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this change.
|
|
|
|
*** New helper functions in org-table.el
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
|

org-table-put
|

org-table-current-line

*** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:
|
|
|
|
The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have archived
|
|
entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target node.
|

This was requested by Tom.
|
|
|
|
*** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
|
|
:PROPERTIES:
|
|
:OrgVersion: 6.35
|
|
:END:

This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for example
|
|
by viewing from the agenda.
