Please send Org bug reports to mailto:emacs-orgm...@gnu.org. * Version 9.7 (not released yet) ** Important announcements and breaking changes *** ~org-agenda-search-headline-for-time~ now ignores all the timestamp in headings Previously, ~org-agenda-search-headline-for-time~ made Org agenda match anything resembling time inside headings. Even when the time was a part of a timestamp. Now, all the timestamps in headings are ignored when searching the time. *** ODT export no longer opens the exported file in the background ODT exporter used to open the exported file in ~archive-mode~ "for examination". This was not documented, was done in the background, and is not consistent with all other export backends. Now, this feature is removed. *** ~org-print-speed-command~ is now an internal function The old name is marked obsolete and the new name is ~org--print-speed-command~. This function was always aimed for internal use when building speed command help buffer. Now, it is stated explicitly. *** Babel references =FILE:REFERENCE= now search current buffer when =FILE= does not exist When =FILE= does not exist, the reference is searched in the current file, using the verbatim reference. This way, =:var table=tbl:example= will be searched inside the current buffer. *** ~tab-width~ value is now assumed to be 8 Org mode now assumes tab width to be 8 characters, when calculating list and other indentation. ~tab-width~ is also set to 8 when Org major mode is loaded. This is done to improve consistency of the markup for lists, where indentation affects list items. Users with non-default values of ~tab-width~ should avoid overriding the value of 8 set by Org mode. If the custom ~tab-width~ value is _smaller_ than 8, the existing Org documents can be converted to the new standard tab width using the following helper command: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun org-compat-adjust-tab-width-in-buffer (old-width) "Adjust visual indentation from `tab-width' equal OLD-WIDTH to 8." (interactive "nOld `tab-width': ") (cl-assert (derived-mode-p 'org-mode)) (unless (= old-width 8) (org-with-wide-buffer (goto-char (point-min)) (let (bound (repl (if (< old-width 8) (make-string old-width ?\s) (concat "\t" (make-string (- old-width 8) ?\s))))) (while (re-search-forward "^ *\t" nil t) (skip-chars-forward " \t") (setq bound (point-marker)) (forward-line 0) (while (search-forward "\t" bound t) (replace-match repl))))))) #+end_src *** New export option ~org-export-expand-links~ The new option makes Org expand environment variables in link and INCLUDE paths. The option is on by default. Users who do not want variable expansion can set ~org-export-expand-links~ variable to nil or provide =expand-links:nil= in-file export option. *** ~org-store-link~ now moves an already stored link to front of the ~org-stored-links~ Previously, when the link to be stored were stored already, ~org-store-link~ displayed a message and did nothing. Now, ~org-store-link~ moves the stored link to front of the list of stored links. This way, the link will show up first in the completion and when inserting all the stored links with ~org-insert-all-links~. *** Major changes and additions to Org API **** New term: "syntax node" To reduce confusion with "element" referring to both "syntax element" and "element/object" class, we now prefer using "syntax node" when referring to generic Org syntax elements. "Elements" and "objects" now refer to different syntax node classes of paragraph-like nodes and markup-like nodes. **** New element type ~anonymous~ ... ...
