Now, an error is thrown to avoid seemingly ignored =#+include= statements when publishing via batch scripts. ** New features # We list the most important features, and the features that may # require user action to be used. *** Beamer export supports setting frame subtitles If a headline is exported as a frame, and has its =BEAMER_SUBTITLE= property set, the value is used as the subtitle. *** =ol.el=: New =shortdoc= link type You can now create links to =shortdoc= documentation groups for Emacs Lisp functions (see =M-x shortdoc-display-group=). Requires Emacs 28 or newer. ** New and changed options # Chanes deadling with changing default values of customizations, # adding new customizations, or changing the interpretation of the # existing customizations. *** Allow disabling macro replacement during export New custom option ~org-export-replace-macros~ controls whether Org mode replaces macros in the buffer before export. Set it to nil to disable macro replacement. This variable has no effect on the ={{{results...}}}= macros for inline code block results. *** Allow headline/olp target in ~org-capture-templates~ to be a function/variable The variable ~org-capture-templates~ accepts a target specification as function or symbol for headline (~file+headline~) and olp (~file+olp~ and ~file+olp+datetree~). *** New =%\*N= placeholder in ~org-capture-templates~ The new placeholder is like =%\N=, gives access not only to the =%^{prompt}= values, but also to =%^{prompt}X= values. *** The default value of ~org-babel-latex-process-alist~ is no longer taken from ~org-preview-latex-process-alist~ The default value used to be pulled from =dvipng= process type from ~org-preview-latex-process-alist~. Now, it defaults to using =latexmk= (when available), or running =latex= multiple times, so that all the references are resolved in the generated png. *** New option ~org-cite-csl-bibtex-titles-to-sentence-case~ When this option is non-nil then title fields in bibtex bibliography entries are converted to sentence-case before being formatted according to a CSL style, except for entries with a =langid= field specifying a non-English language. When nil, this conversion is limited to entries having a =langid= field specifying a variant of English. The default value is ~t~ as the CSL standard assumes that English titles are specified in sentence-case but the bibtex bibliography format requires them to be written in title-case. ** New functions and changes in function arguments # This also includes changes in function behavior from Elisp perspective. *** ob-sqlite: Added ability to open a database in readonly mode Added option :readonly to ob-sqlite. When :readonly=true the database is opened in readonly mode. For example: #+begin_src sqlite :db /tmp/rip.db :readonly yes :exports both create table rip(a,b); #+end_src This results in an error such as: #+begin_example Runtime error near line 2: attempt to write a readonly database (8) [ Babel evaluation exited with code 1 ] #+end_example ... ...
