Dear all, here it is, release 7.5, my first release as Org's new maintainer. This release comes with lots of new features, bug fixes, and fun. Special thanks to everyone who helped for this work: it's becoming hard to mention all the contributors, whether it be ideas, feedback or code, and sorry in advance if I forgot some names. Also don't forget the website now comes with a flatter button, on top of the paypal donation link. Spread the world! As always: *Enjoy* :) Version 7.5 ------------ Incompatible changes ===================== Code block variable initialized with Emacs Lisp code in tables and lists ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is no longer possible to assign code block variables using executable Emacs Lisp statements contained in tables or lists. As per the following example. (a b c) $data Thanks to Vladimir Alexiev for raising this issue. `org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist' has changed ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly. New features and user-visible improvements =========================================== Implement formulas applying to field ranges ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas. A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows things like @3= @2$2..@5$7= @I$2..@II$4= as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a table. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this. Improved handling of lists ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more indented than it. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical counters like or . 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and `org-list-export-context'. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text and make paragraphs and still not break the list. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and make every line in region an item. It permits to easily integrate paragraphs inside a list. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no blank line around, without breaking list structure. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this! Modified link escaping ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [his message]: Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http: link). With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters. Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning percent escaped links are solved. Thanks a lot to David for this work. [his message]: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888 Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the docstring of these variable for details about available %-sequences. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a formatting string will insert a string. New command `org-agenda-append-agenda' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can now use `org-agenda-append-agenda' to dynamically add new agendas views to the current one. It is particularily useful to compare multiple small agendas. Localized clock tables ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls available translated strings. New sorting options when publishing projects ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The =:sitemap-sort-file= option now allows sorting the sitemap file (anti-)alphabetically and (anti-)chronogically. Thanks a lot to Manuel Giraud for a patch to this effet. Testing with ERT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Martyn Jago added new tests to =testing/= - thanks to him! New file in contrib/: org-notmuch.el ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Org is now distributed with =org-notmuch.el=, by Matthieu Lemerre. See explanations in the header of =org-notmuch.el=: =org-notmuch.el= implements links to notmuch messages and "searchs". A search is a query to be performed by notmuch; it is the equivalent to folders in other mail clients. Similarly, mails are refered to by a query, so both a link can refer to several mails. org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can now create links from messages. This is particularily useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for later check. Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch. Important bug fixes ==================== Capturing to narrowed buffers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can now safely capture entries to narrowed buffers. Thanks a lot to Memnon Anon for bringing this up. Better handling of the new `org-agenda-span' variable ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Agendas were a bit confused by the introduction of this variable, in particular block agendas. This is now fixed. Thanks to Julien and Carsten for helping find the right fix for this issue, and to Michael Brand and Matt Lundin for their patient testing and reporting. Security warning: using org-crypt with auto-save ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To prevent Emacs from auto-saving encrypted entries in clear text, the user should not use auto-save with org-crypt.el. We now send a warning when users are both using auto-saving and org-crypt.el. Thanks to Peter Jones for bringing this up. Details ======== Babel ~~~~~~ * :file argument causes results to be written to file for all languages :file <filename> should be understood as saying "write the result to <filename> and return a link to <filename>". This works for all languages. For graphics languages (e.g. ditaa, dot, gnuplot) there is no change in behavior: "result" in the above is the graphics, and a link to the image is placed in the org buffer. For general-purpose languages (e.g. emacs-lisp, python, R, ruby, shell), the "result" written to file is the normal org-babel result (string, number, table). In order to return a file link from a src block without telling babel to save any results to that file, use :results <filename> and do not use :file. The code block can of course write arbitrary content to <filename>. Some examples: Save the output of ls -l as a .csv file (recall that :results value is the default): ls -l Send the text output of ls -l directly to file: ls -l * R requires :results graphics :file filename when generating graphics ":results graphics" is now required in addition to ":file filename" in order for graphical output to be sent automatically to file. If :file is supplied, but not ":results graphics", then non-graphical, "value" or "output" results are written to file, depending on which of those options is in effect. * Calc code blocks can now accept vectors For example; 3 y Thanks to Eric S. Fraga for raising this issue * Code blocks with empty bodies are now acceptable Previously these caused errors on export. Thanks to Martyn Jago for this patch. * Emacs Lisp variable assignments which don't eval cleanly passed literally This makes it possible to easily pass through non-elisp variable assignments which may initially look like valid elisp. * Imagemagick post-processing of LaTeX code block results It is now possible to use imagemagick to process the output of LaTeX code blocks through to a wide variety of output formats. This patch is thanks to Andreas Leha, the following description is from his email to the mailing list. LaTeX source blocks now have three new options: - :imagemagick When not nil the source block is processed to pdf and the pdf is converted with imagemagick to whatever is given as :file Thus, the format is not limited to png. - :iminoptions This is passed to imagemagick before the pdf file - :imoutoptions This is passed to imagemagick before the output file Small example: will use this command for conversion: convert -density 300 <tmp-pdf> -geometry 400 test.jpg * Unified naming of =c++= functions to =C++= Thanks to Martyn Jago for this patch. * `org-babel-execute-buffer' and `org-babel-execute-subtree' now eval inline code blocks as well * New :mkdirp header argument creates parent dirs of tangle targets * New ":comments noweb" option for wrapping noweb references in comment links This can be useful to allow backward linking from tangle code files to the original code block holding noweb-expanded content. * Allow detangling of text containing '\'s -- Thanks to Seth Burleigh * =:sep= specifies table separator when opening or writing tabular results * `org-edit-src-content-indentation' can now be a buffer-local variable All export configuration variables can now be buffer-local variables ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ org-complete.el has been renamed to org-pcomplete.el ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In case you were manually loading =org-complete.el= (which is *not* necessary anyway), please be aware that the name of this library was changed to =org-pcomplete.el=. New user options for LaTeX source code export via minted and listings packages ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New variables `org-export-latex-listings-options' and `org-export-latex-minted-options' allow package options to be controlled; `org-export-latex-custom-lang-environments' allows arbitrary configuration on a per-language basis. Effort durations now support 2d, 2m, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Effort duration can now be set as 2h (for 2 hours), etc. This will be converted to minutes automatically when clocking in an entry with an effort property. See the =org-effort-durations= variable. Thanks a lot to Lawrence Mitchell for this patch. New option :clock-keep for capture templates ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A capture template with =:clock-keep t= will prevent the refiling process from clocking out the entry. If =:clock-resume= is also `t', =:clock-keep= will take precedence and =:clock-resume= will be ignored. So now =:immediate-finish t :clock-in t :clock-keep t= makes sense: it will capture a new task and clock it. Misc ~~~~~ * New command `org-agenda-bulk-mark-regexp' =M-x org-agenda-bulk-mark-regexp RET= will mark agenda entries which headings match against a regular expression. You can call this command with the `%' key from an agenda buffer. * New command `org-agenda-reset-view' Julien Danjou implemented this: This new command lets you switch to day/week/month/year view. When switching to day or week view, this setting becomes the default for subsequent agenda refreshes. Since month and year views are slow to create, they do not become the default. A numeric prefix argument may be used to jump directly to a specific day of the year, ISO week, month, or year, respectively. For example, `32 d' jumps to February 1st, `9 w' to ISO week number 9. When setting day, week, or month view, a year may be encoded in the prefix argument as well. For example, `200712 w' will jump to week 12 in 2007. If such a year specification has only one or two digits, it will be mapped to the interval 1938-2037. `v SPC'' will reset to what is set in `org-agenda-span'. Thanks a lot to Julien for this. * New options for ignoring past or future items in the global todo list This patch gives users greater control over which past or future items they would like to ignore in the global todo list. By setting org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled to 7, for instance, a user can ignore all items scheduled 7 or more days in the future. Similarly, by setting org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled to -1, a user can ignore all items that are truly in the past (unlike the 'past setting, which ignores items scheduled today). See the docstrings of these variables: - org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines - org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled - org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp Thanks a lot to Matt Lundin for implementing this and to Paul Sexton for the idea. * New variable `org-export-table-remove-empty-lines' When set to `nil', don't remove empty tables when exporting tables. This was requested by Eric S Fraga. * New variable `org-table-fix-formulas-confirm' Sometime, editing the structure of a table should not edit the corresponding formulas. This new variable lets the user decide whether he wants to confirm formula fixes or not. * New variable `org-export-initial-scope' This variable controls the initial scope when exporting with `org-export'. It can be set to 'buffer or 'subtree. If there is an active region, tell it when prompting the user for an export command. * Show and use the default refile location M-x org-refile RET now shows the default refile location. Thanks to Tassilo Horn for a patch to this effect. * New variable `org-archive-subtree-add-inherited-tags' Non-nil means append inherited tags when archiving a subtree. * New variable `org-export-current-backend' This variable is dynamically set by exporters. You can check against its value anytime in your code to see if you are exporting to HTML, LaTeX, etc. Possible values are 'html, 'latex, 'ascii, 'docbook. Thanks to Eric Schulte and Dan Davison for ideas and patches in this area. * New hook `org-clock-before-select-task-hook' Hook called in task selection just before prompting the user. Thanks to Benjamin Drieu for the patch. * = = emphasis now uses \protectedtexttt * Author's email now included in the LaTeX title When `org-export-email-info' is non-nil, the LaTeX title will also include the author's email. Thanks to Lawrence Mitchell for the patch. * Update contrib/scripts/ditaa.jar to ditaa v0.9 of 2009-11-24 * New variable `org-mobile-files-exclude-regexp' This variable lets you exclude files that you don't want in org-mobile-files. * New variable `org-confirm-elisp-link-not-regexp' Set this to a regexp if you want to skip the confirmation step for Elisp/Shell code matching this regexp. * New variable `org-attach-store-link-p' When set to `t', store link to the attached file, at its original location. * `org-table-use-standard-references' now defaults to 'from * Better `org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all' When this is set to a list of TODO keywords, the agenda will only show occurrences of repeating stamps for these TODO keywords. * New command `org-narrow-to-block' This command (`C-x n b') will narrow the buffer to the current block. -- Bastien
This is great. Congratulations to Bastien for getting
to his first release so quickly! And thanks to everyone else.
All this does make me very happy.

Wow! Great start.
I'm only embarrassed that my name appears several times as having asked
for new features. Time for me to start contributing actual code a bit
more, I think! After I absorb all the new features, beyond the ones I
requested of course ;-)
Thanks for all your work on this.

Many congratulations to Bastien and everyone who made it possible. I
love the new append agenda feature especially the fact that filtering
works on all agendas. :)

Thanks to Bastien and all the contributors. Did anyone notice that the link on the web page still links to Org 7.4? The files linked here: "Download as zip file or gzipped tar archive. " are http://orgmode.org/org-7.4.zip and http://orgmode.org/org-7.4.tar.gz I just checked and the correct files are on the website here: http://orgmode.org/org-7.5.tar.gz So only the link is broken.

Indeed, congrats to Bastien and all! One question: I'm using the new export stuff from org-jambu (git master branch); any idea when Jambunathan will rebase or merge with this?

The plan is to work together on this and try to have something merged
for the next release. But devil is in the details -- we don't really
know what "something" stands for now.
But in any case, this is absolutely not forgotten, and high in the todo
list.
Best,
