I won't tell how excited I am by all these new changes: we waited long for the ODT exporter to be in Org's core, and we can now celebrate this achievement! Thanks again to Jambunathan for his steady support here. We also waited long for having a new parser/exporter and this is what Nicolas has been silently achieving: the promises of this code will unfold as we will write new exporters and rewrite old ones. Also thanks to Eric for his patience in sorting out key standardization issues about code blocks. Long life to Org! Version 7.8 ------------ Summary ======== - Jambunathan's ODT exporter is now part of Org's core. - Nicolas' new export engine is now part of =contrib/= - Standard code block keywords - 10 new committers - Many bugfixes See below for details. New committers who signed the FSF copyright assigment ====================================================== Here is the list of new contributors who signed the FSF papers since Org 7.7 - welcome, and thanks for your contributions! - Andreas Leha - Christian Moe - Julian Gehring - Max Mikhanosha - Michael Brand - Niels Giessen - Pieter Praet - Sergey Litvinov - Thomas Holst - Thorsten Jolitz The ODT exporter is now part of Org's core =========================================== - Full refresh of the OpenDocument Text section in the manual. All new features listed below are fully-documented. - Associate custom styles on per-file basis using =#+ODT_STYLES_FILE:= directive. - Fontify code listings using an enhanced version of =htmlfontify.el= and generate line numbers natively. - Embed MathML and OpenDocument formula files. - Use LaTeX to MathML converter -- say MathToWeb ([http://www.mathtoweb.com/]) -- for handling LaTeX Math fragments. - In tables, use column width cookies to control relative width of columns. - Also for tables, you can specify custom styles using =#+ATTR_ODT:= lines. - Lots of bug fixes. *Experimental* The following features are /experimental/. These features are specific to the ODT export engine and their implementation and usage could change considerably in future versions. - Support for list tables -- see this [message on the list]. - Support for annotation blocks -- see this [message on the list]. Special thanks to Jambunathan for his work and his patience through the process of integrating this vital contribution into Org's core. [message on the list]: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-09/msg00017.html [message on the list]: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-10/msg01251.html New export engine by Nicolas ============================= See the comment sections in org-element.el and in org-export.el (in =contrib/lisp/=). Also check the experimental LaTeX exporter using in =EXPERIMENTAL/org-e-latex.el=. Check Nicolas' announcement [on the list] and hack around! Thanks a lot to Nicolas for this great and promising achievement. [on the list]: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/49416 Incompatible changes ===================== Standardized code block keywords ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Following a round of on-list discussion, many code block synonyms have been removed. You can safely move forward the following syntax: - call lines are specified with #+call: - code blocks are named with - results are named with code block may still be labeled with named with #+tblname: will be considered to be named results The following function may be used to update an existing Org-mode buffer to the new syntax: (defun update-org-buffer () "Update an Org-mode buffer to the new data, code block and call line syntax." (interactive) (save-excursion (flet ((to-re (lst) (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+" (regexp-opt lst t) "\\(\\[\\([:alnum:]+\\)\\]\\)?\\:[ \t]*")) (update (re new) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward re nil t) (replace-match new nil nil nil 1)))) (let ((old-re (to-re '("RESULTS" "DATA" "SRCNAME" "SOURCE"))) (lob-re (to-re '("LOB"))) (case-fold-search t)) (update old-re "name") (update lob-re "call"))))) *Note*: If an old version of Org-mode (e.g., the one shipped with Emacs) is installed on your system, many of the important variables will be pre-defined with a =defvar= and *will not* have their values automatically updated -- these include the following: - =org-babel-data-names= - =org-babel-result-regexp= - =org-babel-src-block-regexp= - =org-babel-src-name-regexp= - =org-babel-src-name-w-name-regexp= It may be necessary to either remove the source code of older versions of Org-mode or to explicitly evaluate the ob.el file. Removed the =#+BABEL:= keyword ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Code block header arguments may now be specified using the standard =#+Property:= keyword. See [Property names ending in `+' accumulate] for more information on the extended property syntax. [Property names ending in `+' accumulate]: #accumulating-property-keywords Deleted =org-mode-p= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This function has been deleted: please update your hacks if you relied on it. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=4bbdfd22 New features and user-visible improvements =========================================== Day names are optional when you type timestamps manually ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can type "<2011-12-12>" or [2011-12-12] and modify this timestamps with S- like other timestamps. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=278d5afa Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out entries using a function. Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to Tassilo Horn for this idea. Also thanks to Peter Münster for [fixing a small bug] in the final implementation. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=db04ef74 [fixing a small bug]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=68ffb7a7 =org-agenda-date-later= jumps to today when modifying past date ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The command =org-agenda-date-later= ( in the Agenda Mode) directly jumps to today. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=f20eef318e9e66481dde560dc5e388e911b28aab Use prefix arg 0 to inhibit note taking for TODO change ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See Carsten's comment: "Sometimes I want to quickly make a few TODOs done in the agenda and I want to bypass the note taking I have normally set up. With this change, I can press `0 t d' in the agenda to do this." Thanks to Carsten for implementing this. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=773596e3 Various improvements to =org-indent.el= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicolas Goaziou worked on refactoring and improving =org-indent.el=, which should now be faster. It also better combines with =visual-line-mode=. Property names ending in =+= accumulate ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This results in the following behavior. =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This option used to be `nil' by default. This now has a default value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs. See the docstring for details. Thanks to Carsten for this. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=b3de2dbb953dcadacafeb179899ab9df184da4ff =outline-demote/promote= points to =org-demote/promote-subtree= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Users who use this outline commands in =outline-mode= will want them to behave the Org way in Org. Thanks to Michael Brand for the suggestion. New escape characters for =org-log-note-headings= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The option =org-log-note-headings= now supports %d and %D for inactive and active timestamps. This affect the behavior of the command =org-store-log-note=. Thanks to John J Foerch for a patch for this. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=a5d4783a7eacf6bf67317408e7c4feaea71b746e New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of Org's core. Thanks to Juan! [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=b67b6b7844f619f40a79dff69e700f24ac8d6ac9 Allow recursive edit of minibuffer ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can now use the command =C-c != (=org-time-stamp-inactive=) when prompted e.g. for a link name. This is because the central function =org-completing-read= now support recursive edit. Only =C-c != is available at the moment, but if you can think of a useful command to use, please let me know. Thanks to Skip Collins for the idea and to Nick Dokos for the implementation. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=5091facd7f4ec80cce86049d6d84a164cb017970 Allow dynamic construction of the publishing destination ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to Kai Tetzlaff for adding this. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=af0789a5a8951a87f050abb79313012f261bf4f0 Set the capture default time to the prompt time ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the file+datetree+promt target type, the user is being asked for a date, where to file an entry. In the template, he can use the escape placeholders for active and inactive time stamps. So far, these were filled with todays date. This behavior changed so that, also at %t and %u, the date to use is the one entered at the prompt. Reported by Erik Hetzner and fixed by Carsten. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=acfd6ff3 =org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry= defaults to `nil' ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=aefd49b9098950a6bf8ebf95160d9b5ae94f2ec0 org-sudoku.el -- small sudoku solver ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carsten wrote org-sudoku.el, a little sudoku solver, which lives in the contrib/ directory. >From [his message]: "my daughter got stuck with a couple of SUDOKU puzzles during the vacation (where wh had no internet connection), so I hacked a small SUDOKU solver that reads a 9x9 Org table and solves it as a sudoku puzzle. A little silly, but maybe fun for someone - I have pushed it into the contrib/lisp directory." [his message]: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/45474 Code Block related features and improvements ============================================= Added [tikzDevice] support to ob-R.el ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [tikzDevice]: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tikzDevice/index.html Support for Pico Lisp code blocks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to Thorsten Jolitz Pico Lisp code blocks are now supported. See =ob-picolisp.el= for more information. Extension to the =eval= code block header argument ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The =eval= code block header argument now accepts four (six) possible values the meaning of which is shown in the table below. never or no The code block will not be evaluated under any circumstances. query Evaluation of the code block will require a query. never-export or no-export The code block will not be evaluated during export but may still be called query-export Evaluation of the code block during export will require a query. Update of intermediate results during code block evaluation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When set to t, the new =org-babel-update-intermediate= variable will update in-buffer results for code blocks which are evaluated in the resolution of a variable reference. This can be used to ensure that the latest returned results are always shown in buffer. Support for Fortran code block is now in the core ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to Sergey Litvinov for contributing this support. The =sbe= function allows header argument specification ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If first variable is a string and not a cons cell, then interpret it as a string of header arguments to be passed to the code block. Support for Shen code blocks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See [http://www.shenlanguage.org/] for information on Shen. A major mode for shen code blocks is available through the GNU ELPA. New options and faces ====================== New option =org-export-html-headline-anchor-format= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Format for anchors in HTML headlines. It requires to %s: both will be replaced by the anchor referring to the headline (e.g. "sec-2"). When set to `nil', don't insert HTML anchors in headlines. This was requested by Alan L Tyree. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=b7f5efdc4e1ed07f295d28a05fab3588c4194110 New option =org-table-formula-field-format= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Format for fields which contain the result of a formula. For example, using \"~%s~\" will display the result within tilde characters. Beware that modifying the display can prevent the field from being used in another formula. Thanks to Dov Grobgeld for this idea. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=7a513b2c00e83f81c8bf1d3abe482d00a2946abc New option =org-loop-over-headlines-in-active-region= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When set to `t', some commands will loop over the active region. Currently, =org-schedule= and =org-deadline= uses this option: pressing =C-c C-s= or =C-c C-d= when the region is active will let you schedule/deadline all the visible headlines in the region. Thanks a lot to David Maus for implementing this. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=e67a28e9 New option =org-catch-invisible-edits= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This option makes it possible to check what is the right thing to do before editing invisible regions. Here are the possible values of this option: +nil Do not check, so just do invisible edits. +error Throw an error and do nothing. +show Make point visible, and do the requested edit. +show-and-error Make point visible, then throw an error and abort the edit. +smart Make point visible, and do insertion/deletion if it is adjacent to visible text and the change feels predictable. See the docstring for more details. Thanks to Carsten for implementing this. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=31d9fd44 New option =org-export-latex-table-caption-above= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let the user place a caption above its table in LaTeX. Thanks to Thomas Dye for a patch to this effect. New option =org-agenda-follow-indirect= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ By setting `org-agenda-follow-indirect' to a non-nil value, `org-agenda-follow-mode' will use an indirect buffer to display only the current item, rather than the whole agenda file in which it lives. Thanks to Dave Abrahams for implementing this. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=e53f62eba9569b78540481bda4b5e7a6b4016983 New option =org-refile-active-region-within-subtree= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Non-nil means also refile active region within a subtree. By default =org-refile= doesn't allow refiling regions if they don't contain a set of subtrees, but it might be convenient to do so sometimes: in that case, the first line of the region is converted to a headline before refiling. Thanks to Jeff Horn for raising the issue of refiling a list item, and to Nicolas Goaziou, Nick Dokos and Suvayu Ali for discussing them patiently. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=c25165c25dc9fdb5b57b3c66b2e0ec0efdbeb7ad New option =org-latex-to-mathml-convert-command= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This option lets you specify a way to convert LaTeX fragments to MathML. See also =org-latex-to-mathml-jar-file= and the docstring of =org-create-math-formula=. Thanks to Jambunathan K for implementing this. New option =org-properties-postprocess-alist= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See its docstring: Alist of properties and functions to adjust inserted values. Elements of this alist must be of the form ([string] [function]) where [string] must be a property name and [function] must be a lambda expression: this lambda expression must take one argument, the value to adjust, and return the new value as a string. For example, this element will allow the property "Remaining" to be updated wrt the relation between the "Effort" property and the clock summary: (("Remaining" (lambda(value) (let ((clocksum (org-clock-sum-current-item)) (effort (org-duration-string-to-minutes (org-entry-get (point) "Effort")))) (org-minutes-to-hh:mm-string (- effort clocksum)))))) This is inspired by a request from Pascal Mattia. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=eb4b0358155c91bdb7071ad455f011d2fe629b97 New options =org-habit-today-glyph= and =org-habit-completed-glyph= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This gives you control over the character used for displaying today (default is `!') and days on which a task has been completed (default is `*'). Thanks to John Wiegley for this. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=0c099370691469d8078121ba2b0567bd19a628c3 New option =org-bibtex-type-property-name= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Configurable property name for bibtex entry types. Thanks to Eric Schulte for this. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=4fbefd87aa6ce30e6d6bc7c115c9b59042ed02f0 New face =org-agenda-filter-tags= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This face is used for highlighting the tag(s) filter in the modeline. Thanks to Sébastien Vauban for this idea and its implementation. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=63969951 New faces =org-agenda-calendar-event= and =org-agenda-calendar-sexp= ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =org-agenda-calendar-event= is the face used to show events and appointments in the agenda, and =org-agenda-calendar-sexp= the one used to show events computed from a S-expression. Thanks to Sébastien Vauban for this addition. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=bfe779fe677e8a23dbf712dd42160a35af1285fa Important bugfixes =================== Respect =org-export-with-tags= when exporting a subtree ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to Suvayu Ali for spotting this problem and fixing it. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=a0815816 Fix XEmacs compatibility issue when creating an indirect buffer ([git]) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to Michael Sperber for this fix. [git]: http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=commit;h=d493a0ec -- Bastien
