+
+* Incompatible changes
+
+** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.01
+ :END:
+
+ Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.
+
+** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.01
+ :END:
+
+ To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
+ version of XEmacs. We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
+ but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that made
+ it easier to keep the support. Thanks to Michael for this
+ last-minute save.
+
+** New keys for TODO sparse trees
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.01
+ :END:
+
+ The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action. TODO sparse
+ trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done states) and =C-c /
+ T= (specific states).
+
+** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.4
+ :END:
+
+ The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use
+ =org-agenda-span= instead.
+
+ Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.
+
+** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header of the
+ LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls necessary for the
+ document. This setup makes it difficult to maintain the list of
+ packages that Org itself would like to call, for example for the special
+ symbol support it needs.
+
+ First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following way: You
+ can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I will take
+ responsibility to include the packages Org needs/. If that is what you
+ want, add this to your configuration and skip the rest of this section
+ (except maybe for the description of the =[EXTRA]= place holder):
+
+ #+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
+ org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
+ #+end_src
+
+ /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified setup./
+
+ There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
+ packages that need to be included in all classes. The header definition
+ in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain the corresponding
+ =\usepackage= calls (see below).
+
+ The two new variables are:
+
+ 1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the variable
+ where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs. Normally you
+ should not change this variable. The only reason to change it
+ anyway is when one of these packages causes a conflict with another
+ package you want to use. Then you can remove that packages and
+ hope that you are not using Org-mode functionality that needs it.
+
+ 2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where you
+ can put the packages that you'd like to use across all classes.
+
+ The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
+ document are:
+
+ 1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
+ 2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
+ 3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
+ 4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=
+
+ If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or if you
+ want, for a specific class, have full control over the header and
+ exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can put the following
+ macro-like place holders into the header:
+
+ #+begin_example
+ [DEFAULT-PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for default packages
+ [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES] do not include any of the default packages
+ [PACKAGES] \usepackage statements for packages
+ [NO-PACKAGES] do not include the packages
+ [EXTRA] the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
+ [NO-EXTRA] do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
+ #+end_example
+
+ If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you should
+ revise that customization and remove any package calls that are covered
+ by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=. This applies to the
+ following packages:
+
+ - inputenc
+ - fontenc
+ - fixltx2e
+ - graphicx
+ - longtable
+ - float
+ - wrapfig
+ - soul
+ - t1enc
+ - textcomp
+ - marvosym
+ - wasysym
+ - latexsym
+ - amssymb
+ - hyperref
+
+ If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package you are
+ using, you can remove it from =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=.
+ But then you risk that some of the advertised export features of Org
+ will not work properly.
+
+ You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes to
+ =org-export-latex-packages-alist=. If necessary, put the place holders
+ so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence. As said above,
+ for backward compatibility, if you omit the place holders, all the
+ variables will dump their content at the end of the header.
+
+** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which is
+ defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was an internal
+ variable, but it is possible that some users did write code using it.
+
+** `org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist' has changed
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.5
+ :END:
+
+ Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.
+
+** Deleted =org-mode-p=
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.8
+ :END:
+
+ This function has been deleted: please update your code.
+
+* Important new features
+
+** New Org to ODT exporter
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.8
+ :END:
+
+ Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.
+
+ To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file. See the documentation for more
+ information on how to customize it.
+
+** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.01
+ :END:
+
+ This replaces the earlier system org-remember. The manual only describes
+ org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to use org-remember,
+ we keep a static copy of the former manual section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about
+ remember]].
+
+ The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
+ possibilities for capturing different types of data. See [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's
+ announcement]] for more details.
+
+ To switch over to the new system:
+
+ 1. Run
+
+ : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET
+
+ to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
+ new variable =org-capture-templates=. This will "mostly" work,
+ but maybe not for all cases. At least it will give you a good
+ place to modify your templates. After running this command,
+ enter the customize buffer for this variable with
+
+ : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET
+
+ and convince yourself that everything is OK. Then save the
+ customization.
+
+ 2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
+ with org-remember:
+
+ : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
+
+ If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
+ you have decided to move over completely to the new
+ implementation. During a test time, there is nothing wrong
+ with using both system in parallel.
+
+* New libraries
+
+** New Org libraries
+*** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.8
+ :END:
+
+ Implement links to eshell buffers.
+
+*** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.8
+ :END:
+
+This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.
+
+To use, put the following in your init file:
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+(require 'org-special-blocks)
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed previously. This
+package generalizes them (at least for the LaTeX and html exporters). When
+a #+begin_foo token is encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
+into \begin{foo}. The text inside the environment is not protected, as
+text inside environments generally is. When #+begin_foo is encountered by
+the html exporter, a div with class foo is inserted into the HTML file. It
+is up to the user to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is
+to mean anything.
+
+*** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.01
+ :END:
+
+ Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org. He
+ also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.
+
+*** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.34
+ :END:
+
+ Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
+ functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to etags, also
+ in non-Org-mode files. For details, see the file /org-ctags.el/.
+
+ This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will call
+ function to do something special with text links.
+
+ Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.
+
+*** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.34
+ :END:
+
+ This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
+ Emacs displays images of document pages. Docview link types can point
+ to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
+ Org-mode manual:
+
+ : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]
+
+ Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.
+
+** New Babel libraries
+
+- ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
+- ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
+- ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
+- ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
+- ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
+- ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
+- ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)
+
+* Other new features and various enhancements
+
+** Hyperlinks
+
+*** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.6
+ :END:
+
+ Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
+ data in headline properties. Each headline corresponds to a
+ single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
+ stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
+ free to hold notes and comments. Org-bibtex is aware of all
+ standard bibtex reference types and fields.
+
+ The key new functions are
+
+- org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
+ (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
+ for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.
+
+- org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
+ using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.
+
+- org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
+ formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer
+
+- org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
+ to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.
+
+
+
+*** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.5
+ :END:
+
+ 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.
+
+
+
+*** Modified link escaping
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.5
+ :END:
+
+ David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][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.
+
+
+
+*** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
+ file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.
+
+ Patch by Stephen Eglen.
+
+
+
+*** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
+ changed. Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
+ are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
+ to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
+ string to be executed.
+
+ For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax
+ =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry to
+ org-file-apps:
+
+ #+begin_example
+ Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
+ Command: evince "%s" -p %1
+ #+end_example
+
+ Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.
+
+** Dates and time
+
+*** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.7
+ :END:
+
+ You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
+ when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
+ (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
+ today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.
+
+ You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
+ will work on the current entry.
+
+ You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
+ (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.
+
+ Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!
+
+
+
+
+*** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this
+
+ #+begin_example
+ 2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
+ 2/5 --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
+ #+end_example
+
+** Agenda
+
+*** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.8
+ :END:
+
+ 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.
+
+
+*** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.8
+ :END:
+
+ 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
+ [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.
+
+
+
+*** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.4
+ :END:
+
+ Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format. See the new
+ variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=. Thanks to C. A. Webber for
+ a patch to this effect.
+
+
+
+*** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.4
+ :END:
+
+ =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a random
+ number of days into the future, with 7 as the default. This is useful
+ if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today, you realize you'll
+ never deal with them all, and you just want them to be distributed
+ across the next N days. When called with a prefix arg, rescheduling
+ will avoid weekend days.
+
+ Thanks to John Wiegley for this.
+
+** Exporting
+
+*** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.5
+ :END:
+
+ 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 exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to improve the
+ LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide representations for many
+ of the entities in Latin-1, and for all of them in UTF-8. This means
+ that we can now export files rich in special symbols to Latin-1 and to
+ UTF-8 files. These new exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c
+ C-e n= and =C-c C-e u=, respectively.
+
+ When there is no representation for a given symbol in the targeted
+ coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
+ representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation. For
+ example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]". Please
+ use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state your
+ preference.
+
+*** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a class name
+ to the outline container of a node in HTML export.
+
+*** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ This behavior can be configured with the new option variable
+ =org-format-latex-signal-error=.
+
+*** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.34
+ :END:
+
+ Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in to
+ BEAMER presentation. Turning a tree into a simple presentations is
+ straight forward, and there is also quite some support to make richer
+ presentations as well. See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER section]] in the manual for more
+ details.
+
+ Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about BEAMER
+ support and how it should work. This was a great example for how this
+ community can achieve a much better result than any individual could.
+
+** Refiling
+
+*** Refile targets can now be cached
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.01
+ :END:
+
+ You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable
+ =org-refile-use-cache=. This should speed up refiling if you have many
+ eligible targets in many files. If you need to update the cache
+ because Org misses a newly created entry or still offers a deleted one,
+ press =C-0 C-c C-w=.
+
+*** New logging support for refiling
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be added
+ to this entry. For details, see the new option =org-log-refile=.
+
+ Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.
+
+** Completion
+
+*** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegleys pcomplete.el
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.4
+ :END:
+
+ Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.
+
+** Tables
+
+*** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.8
+ :END:
+
+ See the docstring. This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of Org's
+ core. Thanks to Juan!
+
+*** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.7
+ :END:
+
+ When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will the
+ displayed in the buffer.
+
+ Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.
+
+*** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.6
+ :END:
+
+ If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in Calc
+ formulas or Elisp formulas:
+
+ | Task 1 | Task 2 | Total |
+ |--------+--------+---------|
+ | 35:00 | 35:00 | 1:10:00 |
+ #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T
+
+ Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are optional.
+
+ Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and feedback
+ on this.
+
+*** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.5
+ :END:
+
+ 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.
+
+*** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.4
+ :END:
+
+ Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers. Also, there
+ is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.
+
+ Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.
+
+** Lists
+
+*** Improved handling of lists
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.5
+ :END:
+
+ 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 [@c] or [@W].
+
+ 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!
+
+** Inline display of linked images
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.36
+ :END:
+
+ Images can now be displayed inline. The key C-c C-x C-v does toggle the
+ display of such images. Note that only image links that have no
+ description part will be inlined.
+
+** Implement offsets for ordered lists
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.36
+ :END:
+
+ If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different from
+ 1, you can now do it like this:
+
+ : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12
+
+** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.36
+ :END:
+
+ In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the code that
+ is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents, augmented with
+ the extra code which assigns the referenced data to variables. It is now
+ possible to preview expanded contents, and also to expand code during
+ during tangling. This expansion takes into account all header arguments,
+ and variables.
+
+ A new key-binding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block' can
+ be used from inside of a source code block to preview its expanded
+ contents (which can be very useful for debugging). tangling
+
+ The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable values
+ which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or stored in
+ headline properties or tables. One possible use for this is to allow
+ those using org-babel for their emacs initialization to store values
+ (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline properties or in tables.
+
+ Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
+ behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column names,
+ and rownames across all languages.
+
+** Editing Convenience and Appearance
+
+*** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.7
+ :END:
+
+ This command will copy the visible text in the region into the kill
+ ring. Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to Carsten for
+ adding it to org.el and documenting it!
+
+*** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.01
+ :END:
+
+ See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=. This was a request
+ by Scott Otterson.
+
+*** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.01
+ :END:
+
+ The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special entities
+ like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters. Also, sub and superscripts
+ are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower display, in a smaller
+ font). If you want to exclude sub- and superscripts, see the variable
+ =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.
+
+ Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.
+
+*** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
+ displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for author,
+ date, and email information. This is implemented by the following new
+ faces:
+
+ =org-document-title=
+ =org-document-info=
+ =org-document-info-keyword=
+
+ In addition, the variable =org-hidden-keywords= can be used to make the
+ corresponding keywords disappear.
+
+ Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.
+
+*** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and
+ =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as specifications.
+ The colors will be used as either foreground or background color for
+ the corresponding keyword. See also the variable
+ =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face property is
+ affected by this setting.
+
+ This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces. The
+ change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.
+
+*** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ Requested by Michael Brand.
+
+*** Better level cycling function
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline through
+ likely states. Ryan Thompson implemented an improved version of this
+ function, which does not depend upon when exactly this command is used.
+ Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.
+
+*** Adaptive filling
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle the
+ base case of regular text which needed to be filled. This is now
+ fixed. Among other things, it allows email-style ">" comments to be
+ filled correctly.
+
+ Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.
+
+*** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.
+
+*** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now assigns more
+ meaningful characters based on the keywords.
+
+ Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.
+
+** Clocking
+
+*** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.7
+ :END:
+
+ Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will increase/decrease
+ the two timestamps on this line so that duration will keep the same.
+ Note that duration can still be slightly modified in case a timestamp
+ needs some rounding.
+
+ Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.
+
+*** Localized clock tables
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.5
+ :END:
+
+ 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.
+
+*** Show clock overruns in mode line
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the planned
+ time is now made visible in the mode line, for example using the new
+ face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an extra string given
+ by =org-task-overrun-text=.
+
+ Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.
+
+*** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls into the
+ scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent can be added
+ to the total. This behavior depends on the setting of
+ =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=. The default is =nil=.
+
+ Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.
+
+** Misc
+
+*** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.4
+ :END:
+
+ There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks. See the
+ new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.
+
+ Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.
+
+*** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 7.01
+ :END:
+
+ This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if some
+ upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it would like to
+ have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a property) back.
+
+ Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this change.
+
+*** New helper functions in org-table.el
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
+ This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.
+
+ #+begin_example
+ org-table-get
+ org-table-put
+ org-table-current-line
+ org-table-goto-line
+ #+end_example
+
+*** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have archived
+ entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target node.
+
+ This was requested by Tom.
+
+*** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
+ :PROPERTIES:
+ :OrgVersion: 6.35
+ :END:
+
+ This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for example
+ by viewing from the agenda.
+
+ This was a request by Matt Lundin.
