** Incompatible changes
16
17
*** Tags in org-agenda-auto-exclude-function must be lower case.
18
19
When defining an =org-agenda-auto-exclude-function=, you need to
20
be aware that tag that is being passed into the function is
21
always lower case - even if it was defined in upper case
22
originally.

** Details

26
*** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
27
28
Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in
29
to BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple
30
presentations is straight forward, and there is also quite some
31
support to make richer presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER
32
section]] in the manual for more details.
33
34
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about
35
BEAMER support and how it should work. This was a great example
36
for how this community can achieve a much better result than any
37
individual could.
38
39
*** Hyperlinks
40
41
**** Add Paul Sexton's org-ctags.el
42
43
Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
44
functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to
45
etags, also in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file
46
/org-ctags.el/.
47
48
This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will
49
call function to do something special with text links.
50
51
Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
52
53
**** Add Jan Böker's org-docview.el
54
55
This new module allows links to various file types using docview,
56
where Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link
57
types can point to a specific page in a document, for example to
58
page 131 of the Org-mode manual:
59
60
: [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
61
62
Thanks to Jan Böker for this contribution.
63
64
**** New link types that force special ways of opening the file
65
66
- =file+sys:/path/to/file= will use the system to open the file,
67
like double-clicking would.
68
- file+emacs:/path/to/file will force opening the linked file
69
with Emacs.
70
71
This was a request by John Wiegley.
72
73
**** Open all links in a node
74
75
When using =C-c C-o= on a headline to get a list of links in the
76
entry, pressing =RET= will open *all* links. This allows
77
something like projects to be defined, with a number of files
78
that have to be opened by different applications.
79
80
This was a request by John Wiegley.
81
82
*** Agenda Views
83
84
**** Improve the logic of the search view.
85
86
The logic of search views is changed a bit. See the docstring of
87
the function =or-search-view=.
88
89
These changes resulted from a discussion with Matt Lundin.
90
91
**** New face for entries from the Emacs diary
92
93
Entries that enter the Agenda through the Emacs diary now get the
94
face =org-agenda-diary=.
95
96
This was a request by Thierry Volpiatto.
97
98
**** New function `org-diary-class' to schedule classes with skipped weeks.
99
100
This was a request by Daniel Martins.
101
102
**** Empty matcher means prompt in agenda custom commands
103
104
When an agenda custom command has an empty string as MATCH
105
element, so far this would lead to a meaningless search using an
106
empty matcher. Now an empty (or white) string will be
107
interpreted just like a nil matcher, i.e. the user will be
108
prompted for the match.
109
110
**** Agenda: Selectively remove some tags from agenda display
111
112
If you use tags very extensively, you might want to exclude some
113
from being displayed in the agenda, in order to keep the display
114
compact. See the new option =org-agenda-hide-tags-regexp= for
115
details.
116
117
This was largely a patch by Martin Pohlack.
118
119
*** Export
120
121
**** Direct export of only the current subtree
122
123
Pressing =1= after =C-c C-e= and before the key that selects the
124
export backend, only the current subtree will be exported,
125
exactly as it you had selected it first with =C-c @=. So for
126
example, =C-c C-e 1 b= will export the current subtree to HTML
127
and open the result in the browser.
128
129
**** Direct export of enclosing node
130
131
Pressing =SPC= after =C-c C-e= and before the key that selects
132
the export backend, the enclosing subree that is set up for
133
subtree export will be exported, exactly as it you had selected
134
it first with =C-c @=. So for example, =C-c C-e SPC d= will find
135
the enclosing node with a LaTeX_CLASS property or an
136
EXPORT_FILE_NAME property and export that.
137
138
**** Caching export images
139
140
Images that are created for example using LaTeX or ditaa for
141
inclusion into exported files are now cached. This works by
142
adding a hash to the image name, that reflects the source code
143
and all relevant settings. So as long as the hash does not
144
change, the image does not have to be made again. His can lead
145
to a substantial reduction in export/publishing times.
146
147
Thanks to Eric Schulte for a patch to this effect.
148
149
**** Preserving line breaks for export no longer works
150
151
ASCII export always preserves them - no other export format
152
does. We had attempted to use =\obeylines= for this in LaTeX,
153
but that does create too many problems.
154
155
**** New symbols =\EUR= and =\checkmark=
156
157
=\EUR= symbols from Marvosym package, and =\checkmark= are now
158
supported symbols in Org-mode, i.e. they will be exported
159
properly to the various backends.
160
161
**** Allow LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS to set options, also from a property
162
163
You can set the options to the =\documentclass= command on a
164
per-file basis, using
165
166
: #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [11pt]
167
168
or on a per-tree basis using the corresponding property. The
169
defined string will replace the default options entirely.
170
171
**** The encoding of LaTeX files is now handled property
172
173
Org now makes sure that the encoding used by the file created
174
through the export mechanism is reflected correctly in the
175
176
: \usepackage[CODINGSYSTEM]{inputenc}
177
178
command. So as long as the =org-export-latex-classes= definition
179
contains an =\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}= statement, that
180
statement will be modified so that the correct option is used.
181
182
If you wan to use special encodings, for example =utf8x= instead
183
of =utf8=, see the variable =org-export-latex-inputenc-alist=.
184
185
This was a request by Francesco Pizzolante.
186
187
*** Property API enhancements
188
189
**** Make a new special property BLOCKED, indicating if entry is blocked
190
191
A new special property BLOCKED returns "t" when the entry is
192
blocked from switching the TODO state to a DONE state.
193
194
This was a request by John Wiegley.
195
196
**** New hooks for external support for allowed property values
197
198
It is now possible to hook into Org in order to provide the
199
allowed values for any property with a lisp function. See the
200
docstring of the variable =org-property-allowed-value-functions=
201
202
**** Allow unrestricted completion on properties
203
204
When listing the allowed values for a property, for example with
205
a =:name_ALL:= property, completion on these values enforces that
206
one of the values will be chosen. Now, if you add ":ETC" to the
207
list of allowed values, it will be interpreted as a switch, and
208
the completion will be non-restrictive, so you can also choose to
209
type a new value.
210
211
*** Changes to Org-babel
212
213
- The documentation for Org-babel has been drastically improved
214
and is available on Worg at
215
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/
216
- Source-code block names are now exported to HTML and LaTeX
217
- Org-babel functions are now bound to keys behind a common key
218
prefix (see
219
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/reference.php#sec-5)
220
- Results are now foldable with TAB
221
- Header argument values can now be lisp forms
222
- Readable aliases for #+srcname: and #+resname:
223
- Sha1 hash based caching of results in buffer
224
- Can now index into variable values
225
- org-babel-clojure now supports multiple named sessions
226
227
*** Miscellaneous changes
228
229
**** Make =C-c r C= customize remember templates
230
231
=C-c r C= is now a shortcut for
232
233
: M-x customize-variable RET org-remember-templates RET
234
235
This was a proposal by Adam Spiers.
236
237
**** Use John Gruber's regular expression for URL's
238
239
We now use a better regexp to spot plain links in text. This
240
regexp is adopted from [[http://daringfireball.net/2009/11/liberal_regex_for_matching_urls][John Gruber's blogpost]].
241
242
Thanks to William Henney for the pointer.
243
244
**** Implement tag completion of all tags in all agenda files
245
246
The new option =org-complete-tags-always-offer-all-agenda-tags=
247
makes Org complete all tags from all agenda files if non-nil.
248
Usually, setting it locally to t in org-remember buffers is the
249
most useful application of this new feature.
250
251
Thanks to Tassilo Horn for a patch to this effect.

** Incompatible changes
259
260
*** Reorganize key bindings for archiving
261
262
The following keys now do archiving
263
264
- C-c C-x C-a :: archive using the command specified in
265
=org-archive-default-command=. This variable is by default
266
set to =org-archive-subtree=, which means arching to the
267
archive file.
268
269
The three specific archiving commands are available through
270
271
- C-c C-x C-s :: archive to archive file
272
- C-c C-x a :: toggle the archive tag
273
- C-c C-x A :: move to archive sibling
274
275
These bindings work the same in an Org file, and in the agenda.
276
277
In addition:
278
279
- In the agenda you can also use =a= to call the default archiving
280
command, but you need to confirm the command with =y= so that this
281
cannot easily happen by accident.
282
283
- For backward compatibility, =C-c $= in an org-mode file, and
284
=$= in the agenda buffer continue to archive to archive file.

*** Level indentation cycling new empty entries and plain list items

292
:END:
293
294
To speed up data entry, TAB now behaves special in an empty
295
headline, i.e. if the current line only contains the headline
296
starter stars, maybe a TOD keyword, but no further content. This
297
is usually the situation just after creating a new headline with
298
=M-RET= or =M-S-RET=.
299
300
Then, TAB will first make the current entry a child of the
301
entry above, then a parent, then a grand parent etc until it
302
reaches top level. Yet another TAB and you will be back at the
303
initial level at which the headline was created.
304
305
New plain list items behave in just the same way.
306
307
Sounds strange? Try it, it is insanely fast when entering data.
308
If you still don't like it, turn it off by customizing
309
=org-cycle-level-after-item/entry-creation=.
310
311
Thanks to [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/18236][Samuel Wales]] and [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/18447/focus%3D19015][John Wiegley]] for ideas that
312
contributed to this new feature.
313
314
*** Speed commands at the start of a headline
315
316
If you set the variable =org-use-speed-commands=, the cursor
317
position at the beginning of a headline (i.e. before the first
318
star) becomes special. Single keys execute special commands in
319
this place, for example outline navigation with =f=, =b=, =n=,
320
and =p=, equivalent to the corresponding =C-c C-f=, =C-c C-b=,
321
=C-c C-n=, and =C-c C-f= commands. The full list of commands can
322
be seen by pressing =?= at the special location. More commands
323
can be added and existing ones modified by configuring the
324
variable =org-speed-commands-user=.
325
326
This was a request by John Wiegley, based on similar speed
327
navigation in /allout.el/.
328
329
*** Logging changes in scheduling and deadline time stamps
330
331
Setting the variables =org-log-reschedule= and
332
=org-log-redeadline= to either =time= or =note= will arrange for
333
recording a logbook entry whenever a scheduling date or deadline
334
is changed.
335
336
This was a request by Rick Moynihan.
337
338
*** File remember notes into a date tree
339
340
Remember notes can now be filed to a location in a date tree. A
341
date tree is an outline tree with years as top levels, months as
342
level 2 headings, and days as level three headings. These are
343
great for journals and for recording appointments and other loose
344
dates because it will be easy to find all entries referencing a
345
particular date, and it will be easy to archive all such entry
346
from last year, for example.
347
348
To select date tree filing, set the HEADLINE part of the remember
349
template to the symbol =date-tree=. The date tree will be build
350
in the file on top level. However, if the file contains an entry
351
with a non-nil =DATE_TREE= property, then the tree will be build
352
under that headline.
353
354
*** New commands to create entries from agenda and calendar
355
356
If you make the variable =org-agenda-diary-file= point to an
357
org-mode file, the =i= key in both the agenda buffer and in the
358
Emacs calendar will be made to insert entries into that Org file.
359
The dates at the cursor and the mark are being used when making
360
entries for specific dates or blocks. In the new file,
361
anniversaries will be collected under a special headline, and
362
day/block entries will be filed into a date tree (see previous
363
section).
364
365
This was a request by Stephen Eglen.
366
367
*** A new freemind exporter has been integrated with Org-mode
368
369
org-freemind.el has a number of entry points (for details, see
370
the source code), but you can also use Org's =C-c C-e m= to
371
export a file or a selected subtree.
372
373
Thanks to Lennart Borgman for this contribution. An earlier
374
version of this file was part of the nxhtml package, under the
375
name /freemind.el/.
376
377
*** Drawers are now exported properly
378
379
Drawers are now exported when the configuration requires it,
380
i.e. if the variable `org-export-with-drawers' is t or a list
381
containing the drawers to export.
382
383
*** Min/Max/Mean age operators in Column View.
384
385
This lets you see how much time has passed since the specified
386
timestamp property each entry. The three operators (=@min=,
387
=@max=, =@mean=) show either the age of the youngest or oldest
388
entry or the average age of the children.
389
390
Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
391
392
*** Allow source code block indentation to be preserved
393
394
If =org-src-preserve-indentation= is non-nil, or if a block has a
395
=-i= switch, then the behavior of org-exp-blocks is altered as
396
follows:
397
398
1. Indentation is not removed before passing the block contents
399
to the block-transforming plugin.
400
401
2. The result returned by the plugin is not re-indented.
402
403
3. Editing the source code block with =C-c '= preserves it's
404
indentation.
405
406
Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
407
408
*** Frame/window control when switching to source code edit buffer.
409
410
When switching to a source code editing buffer with =C-c '=, you
411
can now control the frame / window setup using the new variable
412
=org-src-window-setup=.
413
414
Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
415
416
*** Refile an entry to the current clock
417
418
You can now quickly refile an entry to become a child of the
419
entry currently being clocked. The keys for doing this are
420
=C-2 C-c C-w=.
421
422
This was a request by Bernt Hansen.
423
424
*** Make =C-c C-o= open the attachment directory is there are no links
425
426
If there is no link in an entry, =C-c C-o= will now open the
427
attachment directory instead.
428
429
This was a request/patch by John Wiegley.
430
431
*** org-mac-iCal.el: work with calendar "groups"
432
433
Some calendar systems (Google, Zimbra) handle subscriptions to
434
multiple calendars (or to an account) by grouping them under a
435
single caldav directory in the calendar tree. org-mac-iCal used
436
to assumes there is only one ics file created per caldav
437
directory, so while it *creates* all of the needed merged ics
438
files, it only copies one of them to ~/Library/Calendar before
439
importing the contents into the diary.
440
441
Thanks to Doug Hellmann for a patch to fix this.
442
443
*** New module /org-learn.el/ in the contrib directory
444
445
The file implements the learning algorithm described at
446
http://supermemo.com/english/ol/sm5.htm, which is a system for reading
447
material according to "spaced repetition". See
448
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition for more details.
449
450
Thanks to John Wiegley for this contribution.
451
452
*** New contributed package /org-git-link.el/
453
454
/org-git-link.el/ defines two new link types. The =git= link type
455
is meant to be used in the typical scenario and mimics the =file=
456
link syntax as closely as possible. The =gitbare= link type
457
exists mostly for debugging reasons, but also allows e.g.
458
linking to files in a bare git repository for the experts.
459
460
Thanks to Raimar Finken for this contribution.
461
462
*** /org-annotation-helper.el/ and /org-browser-url.e./ have been removed
463
Please switch to /org-protocol.el/, into which contains the same
464
functionality in a more general framework.
465
*** The contributed /org-export-freemind/ package has been removed.
466
Org now contains a new freemind exporter, /org-freemind.el/.
467
468

470
- Perl is supported
471
- Ruby and Python now respond to the :file header argument
472
- Added :results_switches header argument for passing switches
473
through to raw src blocks
474
- Preserve indentation in source blocks on export and tangle
475
- Possible to evaluate noweb reference on tangling or code block
476
evaluation
477

478
- Cleaned up the passing of parameter values from Org-babel to
479
language specific functions

** Rewrite of org-mobile.org, for MobileOrg 1.0 (build 20)
487
488
MobileOrg is currently under review at the iPhone App Store. You
489
will need Org-mode version 6.32 to interact with it.
490
491
** Added support for habit consistency tracking
492
493
/org-habit.el/ contains new code to track habits. Please
494
configure the variable org-modules to activate it. When active,
495
habits (a special TODO entry) will be displayed in the agenda
496
together with a "consistency graph". Habit tracking is described
497
in a new [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Tracking-your-habits.html][manual section]].

information, you will be able to press =/ RET= in the agenda to
505
exclude tasks that cannot be done in the current context.
506
For details, see the information about filtering in the manual.
507

** New clock resolving tools
511
512
When clocking into a new task while no clock is running, Org now
513
checks for orphaned CLOCK lines and offers to repair these before
514
starting the clock. You can also configure this feature to check
515
for idle time and prompt you to subtract that time from the
516
running timer.
517
518
See the new [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Resolving-idle-time.html][manual section]] for more details.
519
520
Thanks to John Wiegley for a patch to this effect.
521
522
** Mutually exclusive tag groups can now have a name in the tags interface
523
524
The customize interface allows to optionally add a string to the
525
beginning or end of such a group.
526
527
Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.
528
529
** Agenda Search view: Search for substrings
530
531
The default in search view (/C-c a s/)is now that the search
532
expression is searched for as a /substring/, i.e. the different
533
words must occur in direct sequence, and it may be only part of
534
a word. If you want to look for a number of separate keywords
535
with Boolean logic, all words must be preceded by =+= or =-=.
536
537
This was, more-or-less, requested by John Wiegley.
538
539
** Make space and backspace scroll the show window in the agenda
540
541
Pressing SPC again after using it to show an agenda item in
542
another window will make the entire subtree visible, and show
543
scroll it. Backspace and DEL will scroll back.
544
545
This was a request by Eric Fraga.
546
547
** File tags are now offered for completion during a tag prompts
548
549
Requested by Matt Lundin.
550
551
** Make `- SPC' an agenda filter that selects entries without any tags
552
553
Request by John Wiegley.
554
555
** Better way to edit multi-line macro definitions
556
557
The editing tool key =C-c '= now also edits =#+MACRO=
558
definitions, including multiline macros.
559
560
** Restructured Manual
561
562
The manual has been slightly reorganized. The archiving stuff,
563
which was - somewhat obscurely - hidden in the /Document
564
Structure/ chapter, has been moved into the new chapter
565
/Capture-Refile-Archive/. Also, there is a new chapter /Markup/
566
which contains both the markup rules (moved there from the Export
567
chapter) and the documentation for embedded LaTeX.
568
569
** Improved figure placement in LaTeX and HTML export
570
571
Text can now be wrapped around figures. See the manual for
572
details.
573
574
** Allow date to be shifted into the future if time given is earlier than now
575
576
By setting
577
578
: (setq org-read-date-prefer-future 'time)
579
580
you indicate to Org that, if you only give a time at the
581
date/time prompt, and if this time is earlier then the current
582
time, then the date of tomorrow will be assumed to be valid for
583
this event. A similar mechanism was already in place for dates,
584
but now you can make it work for times as well.
585
586
** Collected changes in org-babel
587
- Source blocks can now reference source-blocks in other files
588
using =filepath:srcname= syntax.
589
- Inline code blocks like =src_python{2+2}= are now exported
590
- Remote source block calls using the =#+lob: srcname(arg=val)=
591
syntax can now be exported.
592
- When =:file= is supplied with an =R= block, graphics are
593
automatically sent to file and linked from the org buffer, thus
594
appearing on export. The image format is obtained from the
595
filename extension. Possible values are =.png, .jpg, .jpeg,
596
.tiff, .bmp, .pdf, .ps, .postscript=, defaulting to =png=.
597
- Results can be returned as parseable code using =:results code=,
598
and as pretty-printed code using =:results pp= (emacs-lisp,
599
python, ruby). Thanks to Benny Andresen for the idea and patch
600
for emacs-lisp.
601
- When =:file filename= is supplied, =:exports file= is unnecessary
602
- Header args are taken from org-file-properties in addition to
603
properties active in the subtree.
604
- =:noweb= header argument now expands noweb references before
605
source-block evaluation.
606
- Tangling honours the new org variable
607
org-src-preserve-indentation, so that correct code is output for
608
a language like python that depends on indentation.
609
610
** Changes in org-exp-blocks.el
611
- Interblocks export has been simplified.
612
- Support for R code (=begin_R= blocks and inline =\R{}=) has been
613
removed. Please use org-babel instead.

** Org-babel is now part of the Org distribution
621
622
Org-babel provides the ability to execute source code in many
623
different languages within org-mode documents. The results of
624
code execution -- text, tables and graphics -- can be integrated
625
into Org-mode documents and can be automatically updated during
626
publishing. Since Org-babel allows execution of arbitrary code,
627
the range of tasks that can be addressed from within an Org mode
628
file becomes very large. Examples of ways in which Org-babel
629
might be used include
630
631
- Documenting a task that involves some programming so that it is
632
automatically repeatable
633
- Creating dynamic (executable) reports that respond to changes
634
in the underlying data (Reproducible Research)
635
- Exportation of code contained in an Org-mode document into
636
regular source code files (Literate Programming)
637
638
Additionally, Org-babel provides a programming environment within
639
Org files, in which data can be transmitted between parameterised
640
source code blocks in different languages, as well as between
641
source code blocks and Org-mode tables.
642
643
A simple API is defined so that users can add support for new
644
"languages" (broadly construed). Languages currently supported
645
are:
646
647
- asymptote
648
- css
649
- ditaa
650
- dot
651
- emacs-lisp
652
- gnuplot
653
- haskell
654
- ocaml
655
- python
656
- R
657
- ruby
658
- sass
659
- sh
660
- sql
661
662
Org-babel was designed and implemented Eric Schulte with continued
663
significant help on both accounts from Dan Davison.
664
665
** MobileOrg support
666
667
Richard Morelands iPhone/iPod Touch program [[http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/][MobileOrg]] can view
668
Org files, mark entries as DONE, flag entries for later
669
attention, and capture new entries on the road. Org-mode has now
670
support to produce a staging area where MobileOrg can download
671
its files, and to integrate changes done on the phone in a half
672
automatic, half interactive way. See the new appendix B in the
673
manual for more information.
674
675
676
** Indented lines starting with "#+ " are treated as comments
677
678
To allow comments in plain lists without breaking the list
679
structure, you can now have indented comment lines that start
680
with "#+ ".
681
682
** New STARTUP keyword `showeverything'
683
684
This will make even drawer contents visible upon startup.

693
694
** Encrypting subtrees
695
696
/org-crypt.el/ by John Wiegley and Peter Jones allows encryption
697
of individual subtrees in Org-mode outlines. Thanks to John and
698
Peter for this contribution.

700
** Agenda: Support for including a link in the category string
701
702
The category (as specified by an #+CATEGORY line or CATEGORY
703
property can contain a bracket link. While this sort-of worked
704
in the past, it now is officially supported and should cause no
705
problems in agenda display or update. The link can be followed
706
by clicking on it, or with =C-c C-o 0=.

*** Agenda now uses =f= and =b= to move through time
718
719
Up to now, the Org-mode agenda used the cursor keys =left= and
720
=right= to switch the agenda view forward an backward through
721
time. However, many people found this confusing, and others
722
wanted to be able to do cursor motion in the agenda, for example
723
to select text. Therefore, after an extensive discussion on
724
=emacs-orgmode@gnu.org=, it was decided to use the =b= and
725
=f= keys instead, and to let the cursor keys do cursor motion
726
again.
727
728
*** Agenda follow mode is now on the =F= key
729
730
This was necessary to free up the =f= key, see above.

732
** Details
733
734
*** Maintenance
735
736
**** New command to submit a bug report
737
738
There is now a special command =M-x org-submit-bug-report=. This
739
command will create a mail buffer with lots of useful details.
740
In particular, it contains complete version information for Emacs
741
and Org-mode. It will also (if you agree to it) contain all
742
non-standard settings of org-mode and outline-mode related
743
variables. Even if you do not sent your emails from within
744
Emacs, please still use this command to generate the information
745
and then copy it into your mail program.
746
747
The command will not generate and include a =*Backtrace*= buffer,
748
please do this yourself if you have hit an error. For more
749
information, see the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback][feedback section]] of the manual.
750
751
**** New contributed package org-track.el
752
753
This package allows to keep up-to-date with current Org
754
development, using only Emacs on-board means. So if you don't
755
want or cannot use =git=, but still want to run the latest and
756
hottest Org-mode, this is for you.
757
758
Thanks to Sebastian Rose for this contribution.
759
760
*** Agenda
761
762
**** Agenda now uses =f= and =b= to move through time
763
764
Up to now, the Org-mode agenda used the cursor keys =left= and
765
=right= to switch the agenda view forward an backward through
766
time. However, many people found this confusing, and others
767
wanted to be able to do cursor motion in the agenda, for example
768
to select text. Therefore, after an extensive discussion on
769
=emacs-orgmode@gnu.org=, it was decided to use the =b= and
770
=f= keys instead, and to let the cursor keys do cursor motion
771
again.
772
773
**** Agenda follow mode is now on the =F= key
774
775
This was necessary to free up the =f= key, see above.
776
777
**** The agenda can be put into a dedicated frame
778
779
When the variable =org-agenda-window-setup= has the value
780
=other-frame=, then the new frame created to show the agenda
781
will now have the window marked as /dedicated/. As a
782
consequence, exiting the agenda while the agenda is the only
783
window on the frame will kill that frame.
784
785
This was a request by Henry Atting.
786
787
**** New mode to show some entry body text in the agenda
788
789
There is now a new agenda sub-mode called
790
=org-agenda-entry-text-mode=. It is toggled with the =E= key.
791
When active, all entries in the agenda will be accompanied by a
792
few lines from the outline entry. The amount of text can be
793
customized with the variable =org-agenda-entry-text-maxlines=.
794
795
This was a request by Anthony Fairchild, Manish, and others.
796
797
**** Improve following links from the agenda
798
799
=C-c C-o= in the agenda will now offer all links in the headline
800
and text of an entry. If there is only a single link, it will be
801
followed immediately.
802
803
**** Avoid some duplicate entries
804
805
There is a new variable that can be used to avoid some duplicate
806
agenda entries: =org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown=
807
If that is set, it avoids that an entry shows up in the agenda for
808
today for both a scheduling and a deadline entry. See the
809
docstring of the variables for more details.
810
811
This partially addresses a request by Samuel Wales.
812
813
**** Mark the running clock in the agenda.
814
815
If the entry currently being clocked is present in the agenda, it
816
will be highlighted with the face =org-agenda-clocking=.
817
818
This was a request by Rainer Stengele.
819
820
821
*** Export
822
823
**** Allow LaTeX export to use the listings package
824
825
The LaTeX =listings= package can now be used for formatting
826
fontified source code in many programming languages. For more
827
information, see
828
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/16269 and
829
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#fontified_source_code_w_latex
830
831
Thanks to Eric Schulte for this patch.
832
833
**** Remove table rows that only contain width and alignment markers
834
835
The width and alignment in table columns can be set with a cookie
836
like "<10>" or "<r>" or "<r10>". In order to keep Org from
837
exporting such lines, the first column of a line should contain
838
only "/". However, for convenience, there is now a special case:
839
If the entire row contains only such markers, the line will
840
automatically be discarded during export, even is the first
841
column is not "/".
842
843
**** Allow Macro calls to span several lines.
844
845
Macro calls may now span several lines, to write several
846
arguments in a cleaner way. The result of a macro call can also
847
span several lines, by inserting the string "\n" (backslash
848
followed by n) into the value in the macro definition.
849
850
These were requests by Stefan Vollmar.
851
852
*** Misc
853
854
**** Quick access to all links in an entry
855
856
If =C-c C-o= is called while the cursor is in a headline, but not
857
directly on a link, then all links in the entry will be offered
858
in a small menu. If there is only a single link, it will be
859
followed without a prompt.
860
861
**** Visibility Cycling: Allow to show all empty lines after a headline
862
863
=org-cycle-separator-lines= can now be set to a negative value,
864
to indicate that, if the number of empty lines before a visible
865
entry is greater than the specified number, then *all* empty
866
lines should be shown.
867
868
This was a request by "PT" whatever this means.
869
870
**** Allow language names to replace some strange major mode names
871
872
Sometimes a language uses a major mode which can't be guessed
873
from it's name. There is now a new variable =org-src-lang-modes=
874
which can be used to map language names to major modes when this
875
is the case. This is used when editing a source-code
876
block, or when exporting fontified source-code with htmlize.
877
878
Thanks to Eric Schulte for a patch to this effect.
879
880
**** iswitchb support for many completion prompts
881
882
This is enabled using =org-completion-use-iswitchb=, and follows
883
the same model of usage as for ido users.
884
885
Thanks to John Wiegley for a patch to this effect.
886
887
**** New commands to set the effort property of an entry
888
889
There is now a special command, =C-c C-x e= to set the =Effort=
890
property of an entry. From the agenda you can even use =e=.
891
If you have set up allowed values for the =Effort= property, then
892
using a prefix argument will directly select the nth allowed
893
value. For example, in the agenda, =5 e= will select the 5th
894
allowed value.
895
896
