These row references are not allowed to cross horizontal separator lines (hlines). So far, when a row reference violates this policy, Org would silently choose the field just next to the hline. Tassilo Horn pointed out that this kind of hidden magic is actually confusing and may cause incorrect formulas, and I do agree. Therefore, trying to cross a hline with a relative reference will now throw an error. If you need the old behavior, customize the variable `org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline'. Details ======== New relative timer to support timed notes ------------------------------------------ Org now supports taking timed notes, useful for example while watching a video, or during a meeting which is also recorded. - `C-c C-x .' :: Insert a relative time into the buffer. The first time you use this, the timer will be started. When called with a prefix argument, the timer is reset to 0. - `C-c C-x -' :: Insert a description list item with the current relative time. With a prefix argument, first reset the timer to 0. - `M-RET' :: Once the time list has been initiated, you can also use the normal item-creating command to insert the next timer item. - `C-c C-x 0' :: Reset the timer without inserting anything into the buffer. By default, the timer is reset to 0. When called with a `C-u' prefix, reset the timer to specific starting offset. The user is prompted for the offset, with a default taken from a timer string at point, if any, So this can be used to restart taking notes after a break in the process. When called with a double prefix argument `C-c C-u', change all timer strings in the active region by a certain amount. This can be used to fix timer strings if the timer was not started at exactly the right moment. Thanks to Alan Dove, Adam Spiers, and Alan Davis for contributions to this idea. Special faces can be set for individual tags --------------------------------------------- You may now use the variable `org-tag-faces' to define the face used for specific tags, much in the same way as you can do for TODO keywords. Thanks to Samuel Wales for this proposal. The agenda shows now all tags, including inherited ones. --------------------------------------------------------- This request has come up often, most recently it was formulated by Tassilo Horn. If you prefer the old behavior of only showing the local tags, customize the variable `org-agenda-show-inherited-tags'. Exclude some tags from inheritance. ------------------------------------ So far, the only way to select tags for inheritance was to allow it for all tags, or to do a positive selection using one of the more complex settings for `org-use-tag-inheritance'. It may actually be better to allow inheritance for all but a few tags, which was difficult to achieve with this methodology. A new option, `org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance', allows to specify an exclusion list for inherited tags. More special values for time comparisons in property searches -------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to `', `', `', and `', there are more special values accepted now in time comparisons in property searches: You may use strings like `<+3d>' or `<-2w>', with units d, w, m, and y for day, week, month, and year, respectively Thanks to Linday Todd for this proposal. Control for exporting meta data -------------------------------- All the metadata in a headline, i.e. the TODO keyword, the priority cookie, and the tags, can now be excluded from export with appropriate options: Variable Publishing property OPTIONS switch -------------------------------+--------------------- +---------------- org-export-with-todo-keywords :todo-keywords todo: org-export-with-tags :tags tags: org-export-with-priority :priority pri: Cut and Paste with hot links from w3m to Org --------------------------------------------- You can now use the key `C-c C-x M-w' in a w3m buffer with HTML content to copy either the region or the entire file in a special way. When you yank this text back into an Org-mode buffer, all links from the w3m buffer will continue to work under Org-mode. For this to work you need to load the new file /org-w3m.el./ Please check your org-modules variable to make sure that this is turned on. Thanks for Richard Riley for the idea and to Andy Stewart for the implementation. LOCATION can be inherited for iCalendar export ----------------------------------------------- The LOCATION property can now be inherited during iCalendar export if you configure `org-use-property-inheritance' like this: (setq org-use-property-inheritance '("LOCATION"))
