  5. * Incompatible changes
  6. ** New keys for TODO sparse trees
  7. :PROPERTIES:
  8. :OrgVersion: 7.01
  9. :END:
  10. The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO sparse
  11. trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done states) and =C-c /
  12. T= (specific states).
  13. ** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
  14. :PROPERTIES:
  15. :OrgVersion: 7.4
  16. :END:
  17. The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
  18. =org-agenda-span= instead.
  19. Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
  20. ** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
  21. :PROPERTIES:
  22. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  23. :END:
  24. So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header of the
  25. LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls necessary for the
  26. document. This setup makes it difficult to maintain the list of
  27. packages that Org itself would like to call, for example for the special
  28. symbol support it needs.
  29. First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following way: You
  30. can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I will take
  31. responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If that is what you
  32. want, add this to your configuration and skip the rest of this section
  33. (except maybe for the description of the =[EXTRA]= place holder):
  34. #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  35. (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
  36. org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
  37. #+end_src
  38. /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified setup./
  39. There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
  40. packages that need to be included in all classes. The header definition
  41. in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain the corresponding
  42. =\usepackage= calls (see below).
  43. The two new variables are:
  44. 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the variable
  45. where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs. Normally you
  46. should not change this variable. The only reason to change it
  47. anyway is when one of these packages causes a conflict with another
  48. package you want to use. Then you can remove that packages and
  49. hope that you are not using Org-mode functionality that needs it.
  50. 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where you
  51. can put the packages that you'd like to use across all classes.
  52. The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
  53. document are:
  54. 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
  55. 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
  56. 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
  57. 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
  58. If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or if you
  59. want, for a specific class, have full control over the header and
  60. exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can put the following
  61. macro-like place holders into the header:
  62. #+begin_example
  63. [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
  64. [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
  65. [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
  66. [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
  67. [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  68. [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  69. #+end_example
  70. If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you should
  71. revise that customization and remove any package calls that are covered
  72. by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This applies to the
  73. following packages:
  74. - inputenc
  75. - fontenc
  76. - fixltx2e
  77. - graphicx
  78. - longtable
  79. - float
  80. - wrapfig
  81. - soul
  82. - t1enc
  83. - textcomp
  84. - marvosym
  85. - wasysym
  86. - latexsym
  87. - amssymb
  88. - hyperref
  89. If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package you are
  90. using, you can remove it from =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=.
  91. But then you risk that some of the advertised export features of Org
  92. will not work properly.
  93. You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes to
  94. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place holders
  95. so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As said above,
  96. for backward compatibility, if you omit the place holders, all the
  97. variables will dump their content at the end of the header.
  98. ** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
  99. :PROPERTIES:
  100. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  101. :END:
  102. Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which is
  103. defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was an internal
  104. variable, but it is possible that some users did write code using it.
  105. ** `org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist' has changed
  106. :PROPERTIES:
  107. :OrgVersion: 7.5
  108. :END:
  109. Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
  110. ** Deleted =org-mode-p=
  111. :PROPERTIES:
  112. :OrgVersion: 7.8
  113. :END:
  114. This function has been deleted: please update your code.
  115. * Important new features
  116. ** New Org to ODT exporter
  117. :PROPERTIES:
  118. :OrgVersion: 7.8
  119. :END:
  120. Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
  121. To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation for more
  122. information on how to customize it.
  123. ** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
  124. :PROPERTIES:
  125. :OrgVersion: 7.01
  126. :END:
  127. This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only describes
  128. org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to use org-remember,
  129. we keep a static copy of the former manual section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about
  130. remember]].
  131. The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
  132. possibilities for capturing different types of data. See [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's
  133. announcement]] for more details.
  134. To switch over to the new system:
  135. 1. Run
  136. : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
  137. to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
  138. new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
  139. but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
  140. place to modify your templates. After running this command,
  141. enter the customize buffer for this variable with
  142. : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
  143. and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
  144. customization.
  145. 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
  146. with org-remember:
  147. : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
  148. If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
  149. you have decided to move over completely to the new
  150. implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
  151. with using both system in parallel.
  152. * New libraries
  153. ** New Org libraries
  154. *** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
  155. :PROPERTIES:
  156. :OrgVersion: 7.8
  157. :END:
  158. Implement links to eshell buffers.
  159. *** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
  160. :PROPERTIES:
  161. :OrgVersion: 7.8
  162. :END:
  163. This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
  164. To use, put the following in your init file:
  165. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  166. (require 'org-special-blocks)
  167. #+END_EXAMPLE
  168. The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed previously. This
  169. package generalizes them (at least for the LaTeX and html exporters). When
  170. a #+begin_foo token is encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
  171. into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not protected, as
  172. text inside environments generally is. When #+begin_foo is encountered by
  173. the html exporter, a div with class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It
  174. is up to the user to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is
  175. to mean anything.
  176. *** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
  177. :PROPERTIES:
  178. :OrgVersion: 7.01
  179. :END:
  180. Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org. He
  181. also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
  182. *** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
  183. :PROPERTIES:
  184. :OrgVersion: 6.34
  185. :END:
  186. Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
  187. functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to etags, also
  188. in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file /org-ctags.el/.
  189. This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will call
  190. function to do something special with text links.
  191. Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
  192. *** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
  193. :PROPERTIES:
  194. :OrgVersion: 6.34
  195. :END:
  196. This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
  197. Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
  198. to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
  199. Org-mode manual:
  200. : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
  201. Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
  202. ** New Babel libraries
  203. - ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
  204. - ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
  205. - ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
  206. - ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
  207. - ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
  208. - ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
  209. - ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
  210. * Other new features and various enhancements
  211. ** Hyperlinks
  212. *** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
  213. :PROPERTIES:
  214. :OrgVersion: 7.6
  215. :END:
  216. Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
  217. data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
  218. single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
  219. stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
  220. free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
  221. standard bibtex reference types and fields.
  222. The key new functions are
  223. - org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
  224. (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
  225. for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
  226. - org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
  227. using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
  228. - org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
  229. formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
  230. - org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
  231. to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
  232. *** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
  233. :PROPERTIES:
  234. :OrgVersion: 7.5
  235. :END:
  236. You can now create links from messages. This is particularily
  237. useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
  238. later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.
  239. *** Modified link escaping
  240. :PROPERTIES:
  241. :OrgVersion: 7.5
  242. :END:
  243. David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:
  244. : Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
  245. : in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
  246. : in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
  247. : a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
  248. : link).
  249. :
  250. : With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
  251. : unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
  252. : Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
  253. : percent escaped links are solved.
  254. Thanks a lot to David for this work.
  255. *** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
  256. :PROPERTIES:
  257. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  258. :END:
  259. When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
  260. file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
  261. Patch by Stephen Eglen.
  262. *** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
  263. :PROPERTIES:
  264. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  265. :END:
  266. The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
  267. changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
  268. are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
  269. to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
  270. string to be executed.
  271. For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
  272. =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry to
  273. org-file-apps:
  274. #+begin_example
  275. Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
  276. Command: evince "%s" -p %1
  277. #+end_example
  278. Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
  279. ** Dates and time
  280. *** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
  281. :PROPERTIES:
  282. :OrgVersion: 7.7
  283. :END:
  284. You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
  285. when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
  286. (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
  287. today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
  288. You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
  289. will work on the current entry.
  290. You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
  291. (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
  292. Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
  293. *** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
  294. :PROPERTIES:
  295. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  296. :END:
  297. So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
  298. #+begin_example
  299. 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
  300. 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
  301. #+end_example
  302. ** Agenda
  303. *** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
  304. :PROPERTIES:
  305. :OrgVersion: 7.8
  306. :END:
  307. This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default
  308. value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for
  309. details. Thanks to Carsten for this.
  310. *** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
  311. :PROPERTIES:
  312. :OrgVersion: 7.8
  313. :END:
  314. The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
  315. to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
  316. entries using a function.
  317. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
  318. Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for
  319. [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
  320. *** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
  321. :PROPERTIES:
  322. :OrgVersion: 7.4
  323. :END:
  324. Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See the new
  325. variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to C. A. Webber for
  326. a patch to this effect.
  327. *** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
  328. :PROPERTIES:
  329. :OrgVersion: 7.4
  330. :END:
  331. =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a random
  332. number of days into the future, with 7 as the default. This is useful
  333. if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today, you realize you'll
  334. never deal with them all, and you just want them to be distributed
  335. across the next N days. When called with a prefix arg, rescheduling
  336. will avoid weekend days.
  337. Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
  338. ** Exporting
  339. *** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
  340. :PROPERTIES:
  341. :OrgVersion: 7.5
  342. :END:
  343. When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring the
  344. =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.
  345. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the docstring
  346. of these variable for details about available %-sequences.
  347. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same way: `t'
  348. means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a formatting string
  349. will insert a string.
  350. *** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
  351. :PROPERTIES:
  352. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  353. :END:
  354. While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to improve the
  355. LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide representations for many
  356. of the entities in Latin-1, and for all of them in UTF-8. This means
  357. that we can now export files rich in special symbols to Latin-1 and to
  358. UTF-8 files. These new exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c
  359. C-e n= and =C-c C-e u=, respectively.
  360. When there is no representation for a given symbol in the targeted
  361. coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
  362. representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
  363. example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]". Please
  364. use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state your
  365. preference.
  366. *** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
  367. :PROPERTIES:
  368. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  369. :END:
  370. The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a class name
  371. to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
  372. *** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
  373. :PROPERTIES:
  374. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  375. :END:
  376. This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
  377. =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
  378. *** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
  379. :PROPERTIES:
  380. :OrgVersion: 6.34
  381. :END:
  382. Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in to
  383. BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple presentations is
  384. straight forward, and there is also quite some support to make richer
  385. presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER section]] in the manual for more
  386. details.
  387. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about BEAMER
  388. support and how it should work. This was a great example for how this
  389. community can achieve a much better result than any individual could.
  390. ** Refiling
  391. *** Refile targets can now be cached
  392. :PROPERTIES:
  393. :OrgVersion: 7.01
  394. :END:
  395. You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
  396. =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you have many
  397. eligible targets in many files. If you need to update the cache
  398. because Org misses a newly created entry or still offers a deleted one,
  399. press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
  400. *** New logging support for refiling
  401. :PROPERTIES:
  402. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  403. :END:
  404. Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be added
  405. to this entry. For details, see the new option =org-log-refile=.
  406. Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
  407. ** Completion
  408. *** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegleys pcomplete.el
  409. :PROPERTIES:
  410. :OrgVersion: 7.4
  411. :END:
  412. Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
  413. ** Tables
  414. *** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
  415. :PROPERTIES:
  416. :OrgVersion: 7.8
  417. :END:
  418. See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of Org's
  419. core. Thanks to Juan!
  420. *** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
  421. :PROPERTIES:
  422. :OrgVersion: 7.7
  423. :END:
  424. When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will the
  425. displayed in the buffer.
  426. Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
  427. *** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
  428. :PROPERTIES:
  429. :OrgVersion: 7.6
  430. :END:
  431. If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in Calc
  432. formulas or Elisp formulas:
  433. | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
  434. |--------+--------+---------|
  435. | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
  436. #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
  437. Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are optional.
  438. Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and feedback
  439. on this.
  440. *** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
  441. :PROPERTIES:
  442. :OrgVersion: 7.5
  443. :END:
  444. Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.
  445. : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
  446. : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows
  447. : things like
  448. :
  449. : @3=
  450. : @2$2..@5$7=
  451. : @I$2..@II$4=
  452. :
  453. : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
  454. : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
  455. : table.
  456. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.
  457. *** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
  458. :PROPERTIES:
  459. :OrgVersion: 7.4
  460. :END:
  461. Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also, there
  462. is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
  463. Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
  464. ** Lists
  465. *** Improved handling of lists
  466. :PROPERTIES:
  467. :OrgVersion: 7.5
  468. :END:
  469. Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.
  470. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in lists. So, some
  471. text less indented than the previous item doesn't close the whole
  472. list anymore, only all items more indented than it.
  473. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
  474. variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
  475. counters like [@c] or [@W].
  476. 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
  477. blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are controlling
  478. this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and `org-list-export-context'.
  479. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will keep
  480. text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text and make
  481. paragraphs and still not break the list.
  482. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with standard
  483. text, it will change the region into one item. With a prefix
  484. argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and make every
  485. line in region an item. It permits to easily integrate paragraphs
  486. inside a list.
  487. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be used
  488. inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no blank line
  489. around, without breaking list structure.
  490. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!
  491. ** Inline display of linked images
  492. :PROPERTIES:
  493. :OrgVersion: 6.36
  494. :END:
  495. Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does toggle the
  496. display of such images. Note that only image links that have no
  497. description part will be inlined.
  498. ** Implement offsets for ordered lists
  499. :PROPERTIES:
  500. :OrgVersion: 6.36
  501. :END:
  502. If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different from
  503. 1, you can now do it like this:
  504. : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
  505. ** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
  506. :PROPERTIES:
  507. :OrgVersion: 6.36
  508. :END:
  509. In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the code that
  510. is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents, augmented with
  511. the extra code which assigns the referenced data to variables. It is now
  512. possible to preview expanded contents, and also to expand code during
  513. during tangling. This expansion takes into account all header arguments,
  514. and variables.
  515. A new key-binding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block' can
  516. be used from inside of a source code block to preview its expanded
  517. contents (which can be very useful for debugging). tangling
  518. The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable values
  519. which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or stored in
  520. headline properties or tables. One possible use for this is to allow
  521. those using org-babel for their emacs initialization to store values
  522. (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline properties or in tables.
  523. Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
  524. behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column names,
  525. and rownames across all languages.
  526. ** Editing Convenience and Appearance
  527. *** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
  528. :PROPERTIES:
  529. :OrgVersion: 7.7
  530. :END:
  531. This command will copy the visible text in the region into the kill
  532. ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to Carsten for
  533. adding it to org.el and documenting it!
  534. *** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
  535. :PROPERTIES:
  536. :OrgVersion: 7.01
  537. :END:
  538. See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a request
  539. by Scott Otterson.
  540. *** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
  541. :PROPERTIES:
  542. :OrgVersion: 7.01
  543. :END:
  544. The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special entities
  545. like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub and superscripts
  546. are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower display, in a smaller
  547. font). If you want to exclude sub- and superscripts, see the variable
  548. =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
  549. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
  550. *** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
  551. :PROPERTIES:
  552. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  553. :END:
  554. The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
  555. displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for author,
  556. date, and email information. This is implemented by the following new
  557. faces:
  558. =org-document-title=
  559. =org-document-info=
  560. =org-document-info-keyword=
  561. In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to make the
  562. corresponding keywords disappear.
  563. Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
  564. *** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
  565. :PROPERTIES:
  566. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  567. :END:
  568. The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
  569. =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as specifications.
  570. The colors will be used as either foreground or background color for
  571. the corresponding keyword. See also the variable
  572. =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face property is
  573. affected by this setting.
  574. This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces. The
  575. change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
  576. *** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
  577. :PROPERTIES:
  578. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  579. :END:
  580. Requested by Michael Brand.
  581. *** Better level cycling function
  582. :PROPERTIES:
  583. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  584. :END:
  585. =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline through
  586. likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved version of this
  587. function, which does not depend upon when exactly this command is used.
  588. Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
  589. *** Adaptive filling
  590. :PROPERTIES:
  591. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  592. :END:
  593. For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle the
  594. base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is now
  595. fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">" comments to be
  596. filled correctly.
  597. Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
  598. *** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
  599. :PROPERTIES:
  600. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  601. :END:
  602. Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
  603. *** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
  604. :PROPERTIES:
  605. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  606. :END:
  607. When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now assigns more
  608. meaningful characters based on the keywords.
  609. Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
  610. ** Clocking
  611. *** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
  612. :PROPERTIES:
  613. :OrgVersion: 7.7
  614. :END:
  615. Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will increase/decrease
  616. the two timestamps on this line so that duration will keep the same.
  617. Note that duration can still be slightly modified in case a timestamp
  618. needs some rounding.
  619. Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
  620. *** Localized clock tables
  621. :PROPERTIES:
  622. :OrgVersion: 7.5
  623. :END:
  624. Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing the user
  625. to customize the localization of the table headers. See the variable
  626. =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls available
  627. translated strings.
  628. *** Show clock overruns in mode line
  629. :PROPERTIES:
  630. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  631. :END:
  632. When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the planned
  633. time is now made visible in the mode line, for example using the new
  634. face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an extra string given
  635. by =org-task-overrun-text=.
  636. Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
  637. *** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
  638. :PROPERTIES:
  639. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  640. :END:
  641. If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls into the
  642. scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent can be added
  643. to the total. This behavior depends on the setting of
  644. =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is =nil=.
  645. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
  646. ** Misc
  647. *** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
  648. :PROPERTIES:
  649. :OrgVersion: 7.4
  650. :END:
  651. There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks. See the
  652. new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
  653. Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
  654. *** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
  655. :PROPERTIES:
  656. :OrgVersion: 7.01
  657. :END:
  658. This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if some
  659. upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it would like to
  660. have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a property) back.
  661. Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this change.
  662. *** New helper functions in org-table.el
  663. :PROPERTIES:
  664. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  665. :END:
  666. There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
  667. This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
  668. #+begin_example
  669. org-table-get
  670. org-table-put
  671. org-table-current-line
  672. org-table-goto-line
  673. #+end_example
  674. *** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
  675. :PROPERTIES:
  676. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  677. :END:
  678. The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have archived
  679. entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target node.
  680. This was requested by Tom.
  681. *** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
  682. :PROPERTIES:
  683. :OrgVersion: 6.35
  684. :END:
  685. This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for example
  686. by viewing from the agenda.
  687. This was a request by Matt Lundin.
