Org-mode version 5.05

Org-mode version 5.05

[Carsten Dominik]

I am releasing version 5.05 of Org-mode.  As usual, it is
in the Emacs CVS trunk, and at my website

http://www.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/org/

Lots of changes again, make sure to carefully read the stuff below.

Enjoy!

- Carsten


Changes in Version 5.05
-----------------------

* Overview

   - LaTeX export, finally, thanks to Bastien.

   - Extension mechanism for the hyperlink system.

   - Global access to commands the insert and follow links.

   - Individual lead-times for deadlines.

   - Option to show only the next instance of repeating timestamp.

   - Store remember notes with only 2 keys

   - Appointment reminders from Org-mode.

   - Global values for selected properties.

   - Bug fixes.


* Details

   - Bastien's `org-export-latex.el' is now part of the org-mode
     distribution.  You can export an Org-mode document to a
     LaTeX file with `C-c C-e l'.  For more options, see the
     manual, and the commentary in the Lisp file.  Kudos to
     Bastien for contributing this frequently requested feature.
     I am sure this has been tough because of the many different
     ways I have been allowing LaTeX snippets and environments to
     be incorporated in lazy free-format ways.

   - Org-mode has now an extension mechanism for the hyperlink
     system.  This should clear the road for all those mairix and
     other ideas that have been floating around.  Now it is on
     *you* to write and share new link types for Org-mode.  The
     interface for adding a new link type is described in the
     appendix of the manual, section A2.  The unsolved problem is
     currently how to handle the new link types for
     export/publishing.

   - New *global* commands `org-open-at-point-global' and
     `org-insert-link-global'.  You can bind these commands to
     global keys and use them to insert and follow Org-mode-like
     links anywhere in Emacs.  Thanks to Adam Spiers for this
     excellent idea.

   - Each deadline timestamp may now specify its own interval of
     lead-time display, given in days, weeks, months or years.
     The syntax is like this

      DEADLINE: <2007-08-13 Mon -5d>

     When combined with a repeater, the repeater has to come
     first:

      DEADLINE: <2007-08-13 Mon +2w -5d>

     You may now also customize the faces that are used in the
     agenda to indicate the distance of an approaching deadline.
     See the new option `org-agenda-deadline-faces'.

     Thanks to Pavel Chalmoviansky and John Wiegley for
     proposals in this direction.

   - New option `org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all'.  When
     set to nil, repeating time stamps will only show up once in
     the agenda, either today or in the near future.  Other
     matches will be ignored.  Thanks to John Wiegley for this
     proposal.

   - New variable `org-remember-store-without-prompt'.  When set,
     exiting the remember buffer with C-c C-c will store the note
     without further prompts to the default location, and `C-u
     C-c C-c' will get the prompts for file and location.  So
     this variable reverses the prefix-argument functionality for
     storing remember notes.  This follows a request from John
     Wiegley.

   - A new function `org-agenda-to-appt' activates all
     appointments for the current day so that Emacs will display
     reminders.  This uses appt.el.  Thanks to Bastien for this
     function.

   - You can now set default values for properties that can be
     inherited by all entries in a buffer, or by all entries
     globally.  Global properties are set in the variable
     `org-global-properties', like this:

       (setq org-global-properties '(("NAME" "This is the value")))

     Buffer-local values are set like this:

       #+PROPERTY: NAME This is the value

     When using org-entry-get to get the value of a property with
     the `inherit' flag and the hierarchy above the entry does
     not contain this property, the buffer-local and global lists
     are checked as well.  This is mostly useful (I think) to set
     the list of allowed values for a property.  Thanks to Bernt
     Hansen and Bastien for these ideas.

   - Bug fixes.

Emacs CVS trunk is licensed to GPL3. However org is licensed
GPL2. Should we change to GPL3 also?

I have not really followed that discussion.  Do you have a good pointer
for a discussion of the pros and cons?

There is a discussion in emacs-devel about re-licensing Emacs:

Well, org-mode , org-export-latex, org-mouse,  org-publish, org-card.tex
are licenced under "GPL2 or any later version" :

<from org.el>
;; This file is part of GNU Emacs.
;;
;; GNU Emacs is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
;; it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
;; the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option)
;; any later version.

so, we can "use" org-mode also with GPL3.  
However thank you, Leo,  for pointing this out.

RMS suggest to switch to "GPL3 or any later", because
GPL3 offers a wider protection for our freedoms.

Please, have a look at the site http://www.gnu.org and 
search for "presentation of GPL3" or FAQ or something like that, 
sorry if I can't provide a link.

Cheers,

Giovanni

The re-licensing has been done so org might the only gpl2 package.

Hello, Carsten,

I think I found some bugs in the latex exporter. 
I have attached the file org-latex.org with 
some examples of the bugs and comments.

If you need more debugging I'll provide the output of the messages
with the Debugger.

GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ 
                  Version 2.10.13) of 2007-07-08 
                  on malo, modified by Debian

Org-mode version 5.05        # just downloaded from your site.

LaTeX version: TexLive 2007-10

Cheers,

Giovanni

* Nice converter!

Bastien, Crasten, thank you for this nice and useful piece of software. I think I've
just found some bugs:
** Converting strange expressions
#    exec emacsclient -e "(compose-mail \"$1\" \"$2\")"
It does not convert such expression:

I have to insert it in a \LaTeX fragment the following expression: \linebreak
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
  exec emacsclient -e 
 "(compose-mail $\backslash$"\$1$\backslash$"$\backslash$"\$2$\backslash$")"
#+END_LaTeX
\linebreak
Otherwise I have the error:
:LaTeX Warning: Command \' invalid in math mode on input line 23.

** Now a bug in "dealing with sublevels"
The following subsubsection "level four" and the table are not displayed

sorry for the late answer, I'm on vacation, so my internet access is a
bit chaotic. Here is a "digest" reply to the issues you raised, for
those who can be interested (I've sent you a more detailed reply in
private):

- Now a bug in "dealing with sublevels"

  Yes, for now the exporter doesn't handle the case where you jump
  directly from, say, a \section{} to a \subsubsection{}. This is not a
  priority right now because it's more an issue about writing style. Of
  course, if many of you say it's a common practice within a LaTeX file,
  I'll try to fix this as soon as possible.

- Bug in plain lists

  This is clearly a bug. The LaTeX exporter is very rude with list and
  cannot export sublevels for now. I hope it will be okay when i'm back
  from holiday.

Thanks for your feedback,

Thank you Carsten for the excellent work.
I can confirm that the "r"-eload for custom agenda views now stays with 
the custom settings!

Nice!

When set to t, the following docstring in `org-remember-apply-template'
should be updated accordingly :

## `C-c C-c' to file interactively, `C-u C-c C-c' to file directly.
