Items are listed in the agenda sometimes in bright colors, to draw
attention to important tasks or deadlines. When such an item is
switched to DONE, the state change is reflected by the new TODO
keyword, but the line itself might still be bright. Org de-emphasizes
the line by changing the face of the line. It used to change it to
the face `org-done', but now we use a new, independent face
`org-agenda-done'.
When a tags/property match does match an entry and its sublevels, the
sublevels used to be indented by dots, to indicate that the matches
likely result from tag inheritance. This is now no longer the
default, but you can get it back with
(setq org-tags-match-list-sublevels 'indented)

Fixed with this commit, a patch written by Peter Jones.
Outline levels below the headline boundary are now treated better, as
proper list. The variable `org-export-latex-low-levels' can now also
be `itemize' or `enumerate', to get the corresponding list structure.
The new default is `itemize', to make it parallel with the behavior in
HTML.
When exporting to a temporary buffer, images to replace LaTeX
fragments cannot be produced, because there is no useful location
where they can be put. Therefore, these images are not produced in
this case.
This commit implements an important change: When, during a
stuck-project search, a project tree is identified as not stuck, so
far the search would continue after the end of the project tree. From
now on, the search continues in the subtree, so that stuck subprojects
can still be identified.
In verse environments, line breaks are now enforced both in LaTeX and
in HTML. Centering is now implemented using a div rather than a
paragraph, so that there may be several paragraphs in the centering
environment. Blockquotes now also may have several paragraphs.

Why not, C-c C-x C-w is a fine idea for this. It should now work.
When a note is taken, the new drawer is created before the note is
taken. Now the drawer is removed again if the note gets aborted and
if the drawer is empty.

This is in fact how changing time works in many applications, and
it does make sense here as well. The commits implements this
change.
It also implements a way to change the start time of an entry from
the agenda. The date is normally changed with S-right/left.
Now, if you add a C-u prefix, the hour will be changed. If you
immediately press S-right/left again, hours will continue to be
changed.
A double prefix will do the same for minutes.
If a link is [[#name][desc]], the href wil be exacty href="#name".
So starting a link target with # will indicate that there will be an
explicit target for this.

Yes, this is a bug that occurs in the special case when the
heading stars are inserted in front of an existing line. The
commit adds code to make sure the correct position is used.
The default for the sitemap file was "index.org" which is really
terrible because it will overwrite the index.html file. Now the
default is "sitemap.org".

This commit is the patch Adam sent in.
Message-mode assigns auto-safe file names to temporary buffers, in the
draft directory. This causes problems when running message-mode in a
temporary buffer with with-temp-buffer. When the form tries to kill
the buffer, is asks for saving it....
This commit turns off the buffer-modified flag and so avoids the
query.
Patch by Nick Dokos.
Running a command that would use the tag scanner could suffer a large
slow-down when many entries match, because the tag list with
inheritance forces each matching entry to walk the hierarchy.
Now, it is possible to avoid this penalty by using the variable
`org-scanner-tags', or by binding the `org-trust-scanner-tags' to t
around calls to `org-get-tags-at' and `org-entry-properties' when
retrieving tags and properties for the current entry in the
scanner/mapper.
An agenda item carries a full list of tags. The list must normally be
made, but not during a tags scan. So now the tags scan does pass on
its list instead, which should make things faster.

This commit fixes the bug.
Custom commands can now bind `org-agenda-filter-preset'. This filter
will then be present in the agenda view and persist through refresh
and further filtering. Only a new agenda command will remove the
filter again.
uuidgen ids may start with a number and therefore are not valid names
in HTML. Therefore we now use and "ID-" prefix for such IDs when
exporting to HTML.
The variable org-priority-faces can now be used to set special faces
for different priority cookies.
Also, in the agenda, the default is now to fontify only the priority
cookie, not the entire task. See the variable
`org-agenda-fontify-priorities'.
Before, the bibliography will exist inside the outline structure, as
part of the last section. This commit adds code to find it, cut it
out, and move it to a better location.
Before this patch, org-agenda-quit would delete the agenda window if
the frame had more than one window. This patch changes that behavior
slightly so that if org-agenda-window-setup is 'current-window, the
agenda window won't be deleted.
Org erroneously filed top-level headings as level 2, because it
assumes that if should file below some heading. However, if there is
no heading to file under, this should be turned off.
Patch by igrekster.
When inserting new list entries, sometime empty lines will be
inserted automatically. This, however, makes only sense if empty
lines do not terminate the list, as configured by
`org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
This commit makes sure that, if
`org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists' is set, automatic empty lines
will never be inserted.

This was caused by an attempt of the publishing code to always find
the top enclosing project. While this makes sense when publishing a
project, for a single file we want just the smallest enclosing
project. This commit makes sure that this difference is treated
correctly.
A new hook is introduced, `org-agenda-before-write-hook'.
A function that ca be added to this hook is
`org-agenda-add-entry-text'. When this is done, each of the entries
shown in the agenda is amended with text that in the original buffer
is part of the entry text below the headline. Drawers are not copied,
and also the line with scheduling and deadline information is not
used. Finally, the number of ines to be added is imited by
`org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines'.
Links with description not create a note before the next headline that
contains the link. In the text, the description will be shown.
The new variable `org-export-ascii-links-to-notes' can be configured
to turn off this behavior, then the reference will be inserted inline
in the text. If the line becomes too long because of this, it will
be wrapped.
If the headline contains a time-of-day in one format or another, it
will be used to sort the entry into the time sequence of items for a
day. Some people have time stamps in the headline that refer to the
creation time or so, and then this produces an unwanted side effect.
If this is the case for your, use the new option
`org-agenda-search-headline-for-time' to turn off searching the
headline for a time.
Undo will now remove up to 20 characters typed consecutively, just
like Emacs normally does. We need a special implementation for this
because Org has its own self-insert command.
The code for doing this is a patch by Martin Pohlack.
A line: #+MARCO: name replacement text
can be referenced by {{{name}}}. As special cases, {{{title}}} will
reference #+TITLE, and similar with similar lines.

This is a reasonable request, and this commit implements it.
To have separate values, set org-special-ctrl-a/e to a cons
cell with the setting for C-a in the car and the setting for
C-e in the cdr.
This commit fixes the bug discussed in:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/11106
The reason for the empty line being inserted is subtle:
The function `org-add-planning-info' is used to add and remove planning
info time stamps (deadline, scheduled, closed) from the second line in
an entry. Usually, the function is called to add something, with an
optional argument to also remove something. In doing so, it assumes
that the second line must be there, and if it is not there, it creates
it.
Now, sometimes `org-add-planning-info' is called only to remove a time
stamp. In this particular case it was to remove the CLOSED time
stamp. This happens when the state is changed from a DONE or nil
state to a not-done state. The idea behind this is that maybe to
entry was marked earlier as DONE, but the user has changed his mind,
so the timestamp recording when it was finished should be removed.
So in this case, an empty line was created, assuming that there would
be something to add - only nothing was added.
This commit arranges for checking if there is something to add before
creating an empty line.
orgstruct++-mode is an enhanced version of orgstruct mode that
also imports all indentation and paragraph settings into the major
mode. Furthermore, it now allows to use M-RET and M-S-RET in items
after the first line. The latter change was a request by Austin
Frank.
The new command `org-reload' allows to reload all Org lisp files.
By default it will load compiled files if these are available. If
not, or when called with a C-u prefix argument, uncompiled code will
be loaded. This is good for producing a meaningful backtrace when an
error occurs.
Like TODO keywords before, now also tags each get their own CSS class,
given by the tag itself. Invalid characters in tags are all replaced
by "_" to make sure the resulting HTML remains valid.
Two new variables can be used to add a prefix to the class names for
TODO keywords and tags.

OK, I removed those two fields, and I switched things around so that
the new macros are defined earlier.
Since we now have org-use-fast-todo-selection set by default,
there is no reason for special treatment of the prefix argument
anymore.
Reported by Wanrong Lin.
Org has a number of places where the value read by completing-read may
contains spaces. For these occasions, the space character needs to be
a normal character.
The recent support for ido.el invalidated these special cases because
ido has its own way of dealing with spaces.
This commit now makes sure that ido is off for the critical cases
where completion must allow spaces.
This commit implements the possibility to import the in-buffer export
options as TeX macros, like \orgTITLE, \orgAUTHOR etc.

I agree with this view and the commit implements exactly this.
(org-indent-line-function): Make sure this works even if there is not
`org-drawer-regexp' defined. This can happen when orgstruct-mode is
used in a non-org buffer.
This commit makes it possible to force new lines and even empty lines
in the fast tag selection interface, either by splitting tags
definition into several lines, or by inserting "\n" into the tags
list, or by inserting (:newline) into the tags alist.
This is largely a patch from Christopher Suckling
The variables `org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines' and
`org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date, and
`org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options' are now all mentioned in
the docs.
The commands org-agenda-show can now be used to show varying degrees of
context when called with a prefix argument. `0 SPC', `1 SPC', ... `4
SPC'.
The new command `org-agenda-cycle-show' shows different amounts of
context when called several times in succession.
Christopher Suckling reports that todo state sorting doe not work in
block agenda. The reason for this that the variable
`org-todo-keywords-for-agenda' which is supposed to be a lost of all
keywords of all buffers contributing to the agenda, is not correct
during the construction of a block agenda.
Therefore, this commit instructs the todo state comparison function to
refer back to the original buffer for a list of todo keywords.
The :END: line is now indented like the line starting the drawer. And
the first line after the drawer is now indented like the :END: line.
The latter problem was pointed out by Christopher Suckling.
Clock lines are now by default captured into the drawer LOGBOOK. This
means that, if state notes are also captured into a drawer, they will
be mixed with notes.
Org-mode has many context-sensitive keys. A new hook system now
allows add-ons to add functionality to these keys for contexts that
are special for the add-on.
For example, if an add-on wants to use C-c C-c in a special context,
if must add a function to `org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-hook' that will check for
the context and run its command when the context is present.
Selecting files for publishing was strictly based on extension.
Richard Klinda provided this patch to allow the symbol `any' as an
indicator to actually take all files in a directory.
Wanrong Lin writes:
2. Can we put all of those state change history logging messages
into a drawer like "STATE-HIST" (when the drawer is defined in
org-drawers), so it is less intrusive in the file?
Yes we can. This commit provides this functionality. It introduces a
new drawer, LOGBOOK. When the variable
`org-log-state-notes-into-drawer' is set, state change time stamps and
notes will go into this drawer, or another one specified by that
variable.
When the variable org-log-states-order-reversed was nil, so that notes
would be appended to the list of notes, the indentation of the item
was wrong. This commit fixes the problem.
Wanrong Lin writes:
Right now in the HTML export the TODO keywords have either
class="todo", or class="done". That loses all the face properties
in the original TODO keywords. I think the TODO keywords faces are
important visual aids to differentiate different types of TODO
items, so I just wonder whether it is possible to keep the faces
in the HTML.
This makes sense. This commit adds, to each TODO keyword, an
additional class named after the keyword. For example:
<span class="todo WAITING">WAITING</span>
So each todo keyword gets class "todo" or "done" depending on which
general type it is. And in addition it gets itself as class.
So go to your CSS file and configure like this:
.todo { font-weight:bold; }
.done { font-weight:bold; }
.TODO { color:red; }
.WAITING { color:orange; }
.DONE { color:green; }
Thanks to Sebastian Rose for the multiple-classes trick.
Wanrong Lin writes:
My TODO sequence is set up as following:

"WAITING(w@/!)" "MAYBE(m/!)" "DELEGATED(g@/!)"
"DEFERRED(d!/!)" "HOLD(h!/!)" "|" "DONE(x)" "CANCELED(c)")))
The state change logging is great, but I wonder whether we can
further improve it:
1. Can we also include the original state in the log message?
i.e.: instead of having - State "DEFERRED" [2009-02-11 Wed 11:38]
we can have
- State "DEFERRED" from "HOLD" [2009-02-11 Wed 11:38]
The message will be clearer, and useful even when somebody edited
the TODO keyword in place without using the "org-todo" command
(in that case, simply looking at all the "destination states" in
the log message does not give us the right information).
This strikes me like a good idea, so I have implemented it with this
commit.
Consider a file with 2 lines:
------------------
**** heading
------------------
Place the cursor at line 2 (where you can type). Then use C-c C-x C-i
to start a clock.
You have now 3 lines:
------------------
**** heading
CLOCK: [2009-02-07 sb 01:06]
------------------
However, the cursor is still placed at line 2, like before. I think
it would be more useful if it were moved to line 3 so that you can
start writing right away, just as before. This saves you the C-n
needed to move again to a blank line.
This commit implements exactly this request.
Daniel Clemente noticed that the clock drawer, when it is created for
the second clock entry, will swallow a plain list item after it,
because it thinks it might be a clock note.
This commit makes this function check for indentation. If the plain
list item is indented less than the last clock line, it will be
assumed that it does not belong to the clocking line, and the drawer
will not swallow the item.
Now any line like
#+XYZ_TODO:
will be assumed to define some kind of TODO chain. If the handlers in
`org-todo-setup-filter-hook' do not do anything with this sequence, it
will be treated as `sequence'.

all heading levels be relative to the root of the sub-tree. Is

This was not possible so far, but this commit measures the first
headline of the subtree and applies an offset to all level values.

I can't sort the table by that column. If I change the dates to

Yes, intentional, because the same routine also does sorting of

A user setting of

could overrule a visibility property with value FOLDED. This commit
fixes this by turning off the above setting for the context of setting
startup visibility.
I have changed my mind and turned off shift-selection support again by
default, because it causes confusing behavior, sometimes calling an Org
command and sometimes doing shift selection. The default behavior is
now:
- in special contexts, execute Org commands
- outside special contexts, create an error that will point users to
configure the variable `org-support-shift-select'. Hopefully that
will make them read the docstring and then decide for themselves
what to do.
Emacs 23 introduces `shift-selection-mode', and even turns it on by
default. Therefore, it is fair to assume that users of Emacs 23 will
expect to be able to select a region by holding down shift will moving
the cursor. This conflicts with the use of shifted cursor keys in
Org-mode for other purposes, in particular to "change the item under
the cursor", like it is done for time stamps, item bullet types, TODO
keywords and priorities.
This commit tries to support `shift-selection-mode' as much as possible,
while retaining these valuable commands keys for Org-mode. The
following things are changed:
1. The range of contexts where Org's commands do act is reduced.
- S-up and S-down no longer jump to the previous and next plain list
item - you can use the paragraph commands C-up and C-down for this
quite well.
- S-left and S-right only change the bullet type of a plain list
item when the cursor is *exactly* on the bullet, not just anywhere
in the item line.
2. When a S-cursor key is used outside a special context, a region is
started or extended.
3. When a region has already been started, it will be continue to
extend even if the S-cursor keys move the cursor into a special
context.
4. If you want S-cursor selection to work in headlines as well, you
can set the variable `org-support-shift-select' to
`even-in-headlines'. Then you need to rely on `C-c C-t' to set
TODO keywords, and on `C-c ,' to set priorities.
If you want everything to behave the way it was, set
`org-support-shift-select' to nil.

`org-export-with-timestamps' in the text before the first
headline.
2. When `org-export-with-timestamps' was nil, time stamps were removed
even in tables. I think this is incorrect, so in tables, time
stamps are now never removed.
The variables =org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date=,
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date=, and
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date= make it possible to
exclude TODO entries which have this kind of planning info
associated with them. This is most useful for people who
schedule everything, and who use the TODO list mainly to find
things that are not yet scheduled. Thomas Morgan pointed out
that also the tags-todo search may serve exactly this
purpose, and that it might be good to have a way to make
these variables also apply to the tags-todo search. I can
see than, but could not convince myself to make this the
default. A new variable must be set to make this happen:
=org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options=.
Formulas can now refer to fields and regions in other tables, be it in
the same file or even in different files.
This also opens the door for more interesting R support, because
arbitrary tables in a file can now be accessed with appropriate
commands.
Finally, this commit also introduces a convenience for creating
references in tables. For the purpose of references, it will always
be *assumed* that there is another hline at the end if each table. So
for example in a table that has only a single hline, to separate
header from data, you can now access all of column two with
"@I$2..@II$2".

If a heading has tags, then that heading's time summary
overlay (shown by C-c C-x C-d) is displayed using the
org-tag face. This looks a bit strange. Is it intended? It
is especially noticeable in my case, since I have my tags
shown in a smaller font.
This is cause by the fact that we use the `secondary-selection' face
here which only highlights but inherits the rest from what is below.
The idea was that these clock times should have the same color as the
headline they belong to, but this idea is defeated when a line has tags
with a very different face.
This commit introduces a separate face for this purpose, so that users
can customize it.
The conversion commands `C-c -' and `C-c *' are now better
behaved and therefore more useful, I hope.
If there is an active region, these commands will act on the
region, otherwise on the current line.
- C-c - :: This command turns headings or normal lines into
items, or items into normal lines. When there is a
region, everything depends on the first line of the
region:
- if it is a item, turn all items in the region into
normal lines.
- if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region
into items.
- if it is a normal line, turn all lines into items.
- special case: if there is no active region and the
current line is an item, cycle the bullet type of the
current list.
- C-c * :: This command turns items and normal lines into
headings, or headings into normal lines. When there is
a region, everything depends on the first line of the
region:
- if it is a item, turn all items in the region into
headlines.
- if it is a headline, turn all headlines in the region
into normal lines.
- if it is a normal line, turn all lines into headlines.
This allows you to use org-remember in any gnus buffer - even when
not on a location that will create a usable link. Instead of
failing with the error "Not on a group" just create a remember
note with no link instead.
This makes org-remember more user-friendly - we don't have to
change buffers to a non-gnus buffer to create a remember note.

I'm have a *minor* issue to report. It occurs when I export
an org file with footnotes to LaTeX. Specifically, it has to
do with the combination of American style quotation marks
and footnotes.
According to many American manuals of style, quotation marks
are to be placed after a sentence ending period if the
quoted passage is at the end of the sentence. E.g.
,----
| Here is "a quote."
|
| not
|
| Here is "a quote".
`----
When I use American style quotation in conjuction with a
footnote, the exporter does not convert the closing quote
marks into a two single quotation marks (i.e., LaTeX smart
quotes).
Thus, the following source snippet:
,----
| This is a footnote "with a quote."[fn:sample] And here
| is another footnote "with a quote".[fn:another]
|
| [fn:sample] Here is the sample footnote.
|
| [fn:another] Another footnote.
`----
Becomes
,----
| This is a footnote ``with a quote."\footnote{Here is
| the sample footnote. } And here is another footnote ``with
| a quote''.\footnote{Another footnote. }
`----
Notice the double quotation mark (rather than two single
apostrophes) at the end of the first sentence. Notice also
the correct quotation mark format appears in the second
sentence, where the period comes after the quotation mark.
This commit addresses this issue by checking of text
protection is off not after the quotation mark, but before.
The directory used for attachments to an entry is by default chosen
automatically, with a name derived from the entry ID to make sure it
is unique.
However, in some cases it may be better to assign a user-chosen
directory to and entry, to be used for attachments. This commits
implements this change. See the documentation changes for information
on how things work.
Thanks to Jason Jackson for pushing this part.
The second change made bu this commit is that it is now possible to
inherit the attachment directory from a parent, so that an entire
project subtree can use a single directory.
Two new variables, `org-export-html-inline-image-extensions' and
`org-export-latex-inline-image-extensions' now define the file
extensions that will be considered for inlining images. The default
for HTML is png, jpg, jpeg, and gif files. The default for LaTeX is
png, jpg, jpeg, and pdf, assuming processing with `pdflatex'.
For LaTeX export, this can lead to conflicts for links that point
to non-image PDF files. To avoid that such a link will be inlined by
accident, always give a description text for such a link, one that is
not equal to the path.
The special first column in some tables was not removed for LaTeX
export. This bug was probably introduces recently, while trying to
fix problems with special characters in LaTeX tables.
Export is now working again properly.

The following table works correctly with org-plot
#+PLOT: title:"org-plot test" ind:1 type:2d with:hist set:"style fill

| Year | a | b |
|-------+---+---|
| x2006 | 3 | 1 |

However, if the "x" is removed from the start of all the years, it no
longer works:
#+PLOT: title:"org-plot bug" ind:1 type:2d with:hist set:"style fill

From glancing through org-plot.el, it seems as though the problem is
that the text-ind parameter is false when all the values in the
"independent variable" column are legal numbers. However, my lisp
skills are not up to fixing this.
This patch is by Charles Sebold and Eric Schulte fixes the problem.
When a property for column view is supposed to contain a date, not
defining allowed values could lead to an obscure error message. This
is now improved.

Hi. After you eval this (for instance to count the number of
headlines under a tree):
(org-map-entries 'ignore t 'tree)
you end up with a different view of the buffer
because (org-narrow-to-subtree) was called. This seems an
unwanted side effect since narrowing is not org-map-entries' job.
Should (save-excursion) be used inside (org-map-entries
... 'tree) ?
He is right, and save-restriction is needed as well. This is
what this commit implements.
Sometimes archiving a task displays the next task heading after ... at the
end of a folded task. This keeps the next task the cursor is on starting
in column 1 which feels more natural.
Rename functions missed in commit 1371205.
Changing timestamps for the currently clocked task generated the
following error:

I find that doing a tags search for SCHEDULED or DEADLINE turns
up headings that do not have any schedule or deadlines.
Using the example from
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/10274:
#+SEQ_TODO: NEXT WAITING | DONE
#+STARTUP: overview
* DONE Test1
CLOSED: [2009-01-07 Wed 12:26]
* NEXT Test2
DEADLINE: <2009-01-28 Wed>
* Test3
If I type
C-c \ +DEADLINE<="<2009-01-28>" <RET>
all three headlines are selected! I expected to match the second
headline only.
Indeed, this exposes an error in the time comparison functions
which would take a empty time stamp to mean 0. This commit does
fix the bug.
Matt Lundin writes:
I had one more question/request concerning archives. Would
it perhaps be possible to enable the file name
substitution (i.e., "%s") after the double semi-colon, so
that the file name can be used as a headline within the
archive file? My ideal setup would be to have a single
archive file for each year's work, with headlines named
according to the original files of the archived subtrees.
E.g.,
,----
| * finances.org
| ** archived item
| * notes.org
| ** archived item
| ** another archived item
`----
This commit does implement this request.

When I have multiple org files archive to a single file, as in
,----
| (setq org-archive-location "~/2009.org_archive::")

I find that including archive files in the agenda display (C-u v)
results in multiple identical entries in the agenda display (in my
case, when doing a word search).
In fact, the number of duplicate lines exactly matches the number of
agenda files that archive to that file (in my case 16). Is the agenda
function perhaps searching the archive file once for each of the
agenda files and then displaying the results as separate lines?
Indeed, when putting together the list o archive files to search,
Org did not check for duplicates. This commit implements
uniquification of the list.
The end of the last line of a colon example is not protected, and this
caused the time stamp removal protection to fail if a time stamp was
the last thing in such an example.
Lines preceded by a colon are treated as fixed-width examples.
This commit improves the moment when the protection of these lines
happens during preprocessing. And it enforces that a space must
follow the colon for the line to be treated in this way.

1. Export hangs during LaTeX export. That was a bug using an empty
regular expression that was defined only locally in Org files, but
not in the buffer used by the LaTeX exporter.
2. Underscores in links can get special treatment by the LaTeX
exporter. Now the link is protected from this.
When including s file in example or src markup, you can now also
specify the switches for code references and line numbering that work
also when directly adding SRC or EXAMPLE blocks.

The relative timer is now shown in the mode-line while running.
There is a new command to pause and continue it.
Thanks to Alan Davis for driving this change.
