Release 9.2

Release 9.2

[Bastien]

Hi all,

Org 9.2 is out: https://orgmode.org

Below are the release notes.

I'm just the "release manager" here, all the kudos for this hard work
should go to Nicolas and the list of contributors.  Let's continue to
have fun by hacking this nice piece of software together!

Best,

========================================================================

Incompatible changes
====================

Change in behavior on exit from an Org edit buffer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Org will no longer attempt to restore the window configuration in the
  frame to which the user returns after editing a source block with
  `org-edit-src-code'.  Instead, the window configuration will remain as
  it is.


Change default value for `org-email-link-description-format'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  When linking from a mail buffer, Org used to truncate the subject of
  the message to 30 characters in order to build the description of the
  link.  This behavior was considered as too surprising.  As a
  consequence, Org no longer truncates subjects.

  You can get the old behaviour back with the following:

  ,----
  | (setq org-email-link-description-format "Email %c: %.30s")
  `----


`:file' header argument no longer assume "file" `:results'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  The "file" `:results' value is now mandatory for a code block
  returning a link to a file.  The `:file' or `:file-ext' header
  arguments no longer imply a "file" result is expected.


Plain numbers are hours in Column View mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  See for details.


New features
============

Babel
~~~~~

Add LaTeX output support in PlantUML
------------------------------------


New property `HTML_HEADLINE_CLASS' in HTML export
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  The new property `HTML_HEADLINE_CLASS' assigns a class attribute to a
  headline.


Allow LaTeX attributes and captions for "table.el" tables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Supported LaTeX attributes are `:float', `:center', `:font' and
  `:caption'.


Attach buffer contents to headline
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  With `<b>' key from attachment dispatcher (`<C-c C-a>'), it is now
  possible to write the contents of a buffer to a file in the headline
  attachement directory.


iCalendar export respects a `CLASS' property
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Set the `CLASS' property on an entry to specify a visibility class for
  that entry only during iCalendar export. The property can be set to
  anything the calendar server supports. The iCalendar standard defines
  the values `PUBLIC', `CONFIDENTIAL', `PRIVATE', which can be
  interpreted as publicly visable, accessible to a specific group, and
  private respectively.

  This property can be inherited during iCalendar export, depending on
  the value of `org-use-property-inheritance'.


New parameter for `INCLUDE' keyword
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Add `:coding CODING-SYSTEM' to include files using a different coding
  system than the main Org document.  For example:

  ,----
  | #+INCLUDE: "myfile.cmd" src cmd :coding cp850-dos
  `----


New values in clock tables' step: `month' and `year'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


ODT export handles numbers cookies in lists
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


New cell movement functions in tables
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  `S-<UP>', `S-<DOWN>', `S-<RIGHT>', and `S-<LEFT>' now move cells in
  the corresponding direction by swapping with the adjacent cell.


New functions
=============

`org-table-cell-up'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


`org-table-cell-down'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


`org-table-cell-left'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


`org-table-cell-right'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Removed functions
=================

`org-babel-set-current-result-hash'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  It was unused throughout the code base.


Miscellaneous
=============

Org Table reads numbers starting with 0 as strings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These look like the in-progress notes for 9.3 rather than those
associated with 9.2.  The website (https://orgmode.org/Changes.html)
seems correct.

The link https://orgmode.org/org-9.2.tar.gz gives a 404 Not Found page. Can someone please fix this?

Greetings Org users,

I installed Org 9.2 and I'm enjoying some of the new features.

The new structure template mechanism is really nice because now I only have to remember C-c C-,.

The ability to dynamically narrow and widen table columns makes it a lot easier to work with tables which have a large number of columns.

Being able to exclude unnumbered headlines from the table of contents solves a problem I've struggled with for awhile.

The best new feature for me is the attachment of the new variable org-toggle-narrow-to-subtree to the "s" speed key. I narrow to subtrees constantly, and this new feature means I will soon forget the old cumbersome way without regret.

Like previous releases, Org 9.2 is a superb release. Everyone who worked to make this release happen has my appreciation and thanks.
