Please send Org bug reports to mailto:emacs-orgm...@gnu.org. * Version 9.7 (not released yet) ** Important announcements and breaking changes *** ~org-priority=show~ command no longer adjusts for scheduled/deadline In agenda views, ~org-priority=show~ command previously displayed the composite rank consisting of the item priority and overdue. This is no longer the case. The displayed and returned value only depends on the item priority now. The behavior in Org buffers is unchanged. *** "Priority" used to sort items in agenda is renamed to "urgency" Previously, ~priority-up~ and ~priority-down~ in ~org-agenda-sorting-strategy~ used a composite rank depending on item's priority (=[#A]=, =[#B]=, =[#C]=, etc) and overdue time to order agenda items (see "11.4.3 Sorting of agenda items" section of Org manual). Now, this composite rank is renamed to =urgency= and the relevant sorting strategies are renamed to ~urgency-up~ and ~urgency-down~. ~priority-up~ and ~priority-down~ sort by item's priority only. Users relying on the previous composite ranking should adjust their agenda sorting settings. *** =python-mode.el (MELPA)= support in =ob-python.el= is removed =python-mode.el= support has been removed from =ob-python.el=. The related customization =org-babel-python-mode= has been changed to a constant. If you still want to use python-mode with ob-python, you might consider [[https://gitlab.com/jackkamm/ob-python-mode-mode][ob-python-mode-mode]], where the code to support python-mode has been ported to. *** =ox-icalendar.el= line ending fix may affect downstream packages iCalendar export now uses dos-style CRLF ("\r\n") line endings throughout, as required by the iCalendar specification (RFC 5545). Previously, the export used an inconsistent mix of dos and unix line endings. This might cause errors in external packages that parse output from ox-icalendar. In particular, older versions of org-caldav may encounter issues, and users are advised to update to the most recent version of org-caldav. See [[https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav/commit/618bf4cdc9be140ca1993901d017b7f18297f1b8][this org-caldav commit]] for more information. *** Icalendar export of unscheduled TODOs no longer have start time of today For TODOs without a scheduled start time, ox-icalendar no longer forces them to have a scheduled start time of today when exporting. Instead, the new customization ~org-icalendar-todo-unscheduled-start~ controls the exported start date for unscheduled tasks. Its default is ~recurring-deadline-warning~ which will export unscheduled tasks with no start date, unless it has a recurring deadline (in which case the iCalendar spec demands a start date, and ~org-deadline-warning-days~ is used for that). To revert to the old behavior, set ~org-icalendar-todo-unscheduled-start~ to ~current-datetime~. *** =org-habit.el= now optionally inherits ~:STYLE: habit~ properties Currently, the ~STYLE~ property of habits is not inherited when searching for entries. This change allows the property to be inherited optionally by customizing the ~org-use-property-inheritance~ variable. This change aims to provide more flexibility in managing habits, allowing users to dedicate separate subtrees or files to habits without manually setting the ~STYLE~ property for each sub-task. The change is breaking when ~org-use-property-inheritance~ is set to ~t~. ** New and changed options *** Commands affected by ~org-fold-catch-invisible-edits~ can now be customized New user option ~org-fold-catch-invisible-edits-commands~ controls which commands trigger checking for invisible edits. ... ...
