Hi,
I have released version 4.62 of org-mode. Get it at
http://www.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/org/
This release contains incompatible changes to the table editor
spreadsheet. If you are currently using the spreadsheet,
make sure to read the notes below carefully.
Enjoy
- Carsten
Changes in version 4.62
=======================
- Many changes to the spreadsheet functions in the table editor.
This includes some incompatible changes.
For deatils, please see the notes near the end of this message,
and re-read section 3.4 in the manual.
Triggered in part by requests from Eddward, Michael, Xiao-Yong.
- Selected text becomes the default description for C-c C-l links
This excellent (and obviouos?) proposal comes from Scott Otterson
- The date format in the agenda/timeline views is now customizable.
See the new option `org-agenda-date-format'.
requested by Victor
- Link abbreviations no longer need a double colon, single colon is
fine.
- The menu entry for org-archive advertizes the correct key, while the
old key is still in place.
thanks to Kai Grossjohann for pointing out how to do this.
- More bug fixes.
Details about the changes to the spreadsheet
============================================
- It is now much easier to assign formulas to individual fields.
In particular, the field does not have to be a named field
anymore. Just type an equation preceeded by "=:" and it will be
defined for the current field only.
- A formula can reference any field or rectangular range in the
table. A field reference looks like @2$3 for the field in
line 2 column 3 of the table. Ranges look like @2$3..@6$4
and return vectors.
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: The vector returned by a range no longer
contains the empty fields in the range, so that vmean($2..$7)
returns the true average of the numbers in the region, and not
something smaller because empty fields are assumed to be 0. You
may use the "E" mode switch to get the old behavior, but the
default has changed.
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: The "&..." format for referencing fields
and ranges in the current column is no longer supported. You
need to modify formulas that use this to the new "@..." ranges.
I decided to provide no backward compatibility for this, because
the "&..." stuff was logically a mess.
- Ranges can also be used in Lisp formulas.
- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Insertion of fields into Lisp formulas has
changed, values are inserted as strings by default. If you use
Lisp formulas to do computations, add the ;N mode flag to the
formula, like $4 = '(+ $1 $2 $3);N
- Field coordinates can also be defined relative to the current
row/column, for example @+2$-1.
- Rows can be specified relative to horizontal separator lines,
for example @II..@III are the fields between the second and
third such lines in the table.
- Absolut references are automatically modified if you use
Org-mode commands to insert/delete/swap columns *and* rows.
This is cool, new, and needs testing! So check before you
blindly believe, and report any bugs.
- Org-mode shows referenced fields by highlighting them in
different colors. While editing a formula inside a table field
you need to press `C-c ?' to get the reference at point
highlighted. From the formula editor (accessible with C-c ')
this even happens automatically.
