Hi,
I am releasing version 5.02 of Org-mode. It is available
as part of CVS emacs, and here:
http://www.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/org-mode/
This release rounds off the new properties and column view
features by polishing the interfaces and adding a few more
details like summaries for columns.
Enjoy!
- Carsten
Changes in Version 5.02
-----------------------
* Overview
- The interfaces for properties and column view are finished
now and work well.
- Properties can be summaries, i.e. the parent nodes can
compute their value from the children's values.
- Headlines finally require a space ofter the star(s). The
conflict with bold text at the beginning of the line is no
longer there.
* Incompatible Changes
- Bad news. It looks like it is going to be really hard to
make column view work on XEmacs and on Emacs 21. Emacs 22
is currently the only Emacs where this works. If you are
using Emacs 21 or XEmacs, you can still use properties, but
not column view.
* Details
- Improvements for properties:
+ There are interactive commands to insert and delete
properties. Read the manual chapter 7 for details.
+ You can define /allowed values/ for a property. When
these are defined, you can change the value of a property
with S-left and S-right. And you may use completion when
inserting the property. This goes a long way to prevent
typos when entering properties.
- Improvements for column view.
+ In column view, you may use the keys S-left/right (and
also the keys `n' and `p') to switch from one allowed
value to the next.
+ You can define summaries for columns. For example,
parents can contain the sum of all children values of a
property, or the parent node can have a check box property
that is automatically checked when all children's boxes are
checked.
+ There are interactive commands to add and remove columns,
and to change the attributes of a column like the summary
type.
These additions lead to the exciting fact that the example
from [omni outliner] posted by Scott Jaderholm can now be
accurately [reproduced by Org-mode].
- The space after the stars is now required in a headline, in
order to remove the conflict with bold words at the
beginning of a line. So
* This is a level 1 headline
*this is bold text*
- S-up and S-down to navigate plain item lists are now also
available in orgstruct-mode.
