+Please send Org bug reports to mailto:emacs-orgmode@gnu.org.
+
+* Version 9.0
+
+** Incompatible changes
+
+*** Emacs 23 support has been dropped
+
+From now on, Org expects at least Emacs 24.3, although Emacs 24.4 or
+above is suggested.
+
+*** XEmacs support has been dropped
+
+Incomplete compatibility layer with XEmacs has been removed. If you
+want to take over maintainance of this compatibility, please contact
+our mailing list.
+
+*** New syntax for export blocks
+
+Export blocks are explicitly marked as such at the syntax level to
+disambiguate their parsing from special blocks. The new syntax is
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC org
+,#+BEGIN_EXPORT backend
+...
+,#+END_EXPORT
+#+END_SRC
+
+instead of
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC org
+,#+BEGIN_backend
+...
+,#+END_backend
+#+END_SRC
+
+As a consequence, =INCLUDE= keywords syntax is modified, e.g.,
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC org
+,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" HTML
+#+END_SRC
+
+becomes
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC org
+,#+INCLUDE: "file.org" export html
+#+END_SRC
+
+The following function repairs export blocks and =INCLUDE= keywords
+using previous syntax:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+(defun org-repair-export-blocks ()
+ "Repair export blocks and INCLUDE keywords in current buffer."
+ (interactive)
+ (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
+ (let ((case-fold-search t)
+ (back-end-re (regexp-opt
+ '("HTML" "ASCII" "LATEX" "ODT" "MARKDOWN" "MD" "ORG"
+ "MAN" "BEAMER" "TEXINFO" "GROFF" "KOMA-LETTER")
+ t)))
+ (org-with-wide-buffer
+ (goto-char (point-min))
+ (let ((block-re (concat "^[ \t]*#\\+BEGIN_" back-end-re)))
+ (save-excursion
+ (while (re-search-forward block-re nil t)
+ (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
+ (when (eq (org-element-type element) 'special-block)
+ (save-excursion
+ (goto-char (org-element-property :end element))
+ (save-match-data (search-backward "_"))
+ (forward-char)
+ (insert "EXPORT")
+ (delete-region (point) (line-end-position)))
+ (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1))))))
+ (let ((include-re
+ (format "^[ \t]*#\\+INCLUDE: .*?%s[ \t]*$" back-end-re)))
+ (while (re-search-forward include-re nil t)
+ (let ((element (save-match-data (org-element-at-point))))
+ (when (and (eq (org-element-type element) 'keyword)
+ (string= (org-element-property :key element) "INCLUDE"))
+ (replace-match "EXPORT \\1" nil nil nil 1)))))))))
+#+END_SRC
+
+Moreover, ~:export-block~ keyword used in ~org-export-define-backend~ and
+~org-export-define-derived-backend~ is no longer used and needs to be
+removed.
+
+*** Footnotes
+
+**** [1]-like constructs are not valid footnotes
+
+Using =[1]= as a footnote was already discouraged in the manual, since
+it introduced too many false-positives in many Org documents. These
+constructs are now unsupported.
+
+If you used =[N]= in some of your documents, consider turning them into
+=[fn:N]=.
+
+**** /Org Footnote/ library doesn't handle non-Org buffers
+
+Commands for footnotes in an Org document no longer try to do
+something in non-Org ones. If you need to have footnotes there,
+consider using the =footnote.el= library, shipped with Emacs.
+
+In particular, ~org-footnote-tag-for-non-org-mode-files~ no longer
+exists.
+
+*** ~org-file-apps~ no longer accepts S-expressions as commands
+
+The variable now accepts functions of two arguments instead of plain
+S-expressions. Replacing a S-expresion with an appropriate function
+is straightforward. For example
+
+: ("pdf" . (foo))
+
+becomes
+
+: ("pdf" . (lambda (file link) (foo)))
+
+*** The ~{{{modification-time}}}~ macro can get time via =vc=
+
+The modification time will be determined via =vc.el= if the second
+argument is non-nil. See the manual for details.
+
+*** Preparation and completion functions in publishing projects change signature
+
+Preparation and completion functions are now called with an argument,
+which is the project property list. It used to be dynamically scoped
+through the ~project-plist~ variable.
+
+*** Old Babel header properties are no longer supported
+
+Using header arguments as property names is no longer possible. As
+such, the following
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+,* Headline
+:PROPERTIES:
+:exports: code
+:var: a=1 b=2
+:var+: c=3
+:END:
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+should be written instead
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+,* Headline
+:PROPERTIES:
+:header-args: :exports code
+:header-args: :var a=1 b=2
+:header-args+: :var c=3
+:END:
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+Please note that, however, old properties were defined at the source
+block definition. Current ones are defined where the block is called.
+
+** New features
+
+*** ~org-eww~ has been moved into core
+*** New org-protocol key=value syntax
+
+Org-protocol can now handle query-style parameters such as:
+
+#+begin_example
+org-protocol://store-link?url=http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html&title=The%20title
+org-protocol://capture?template=x&title=Hello&body=World&url=http:%2F%2Fexample.com
+#+end_example
+
+Old-style links such as
+: org-protocol://store-link:/http:%2F%2Flocalhost%2Findex.html/The%20title
+continue to be supported.
+
+If you have defined your own handler functions for
+~org-protocol-protocol-alist~, change them to accept either a property
+list (for new-style links) or a string (for old-style links). Use
+~org-protocol-parse-parameters~ to convert old-style links into property
+lists.
+
+*** New Org linter library
+
+~org-lint~ can check syntax and report common issues in Org documents.
+
+*** New option ~date-tree-last~ for ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~
+
+When ~org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy~ is set to ~date-tree-last~, diary
+entries are added to last in the date tree.
+
+*** New ~vbar~ entity
+
+~\vbar~ or ~\vbar{}~ will be exported unconditionnally as a =|=,
+unlike to existing ~\vert~, which is expanded as ~&vert;~ when using
+a HTML derived export back-end.
+
+*** Export
+
+**** New =#+latex_compiler= keyword to set LaTeX compiler.
+
+PDFLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX are supported. See the manual for
+details.
+
+**** New option ~org-export-with-broken-links~
+
+This option tells the export process how to behave when encountering
+a broken internal link. See its docstring for more information.
+
+**** Attributes support in custom language environments for LaTeX export
+
+Custom language environments for LaTeX export can now define the
+string to be inserted during export, using attributes to indicate the
+position of the elements. See variable ~org-latex-custom-lang-environments~
+for more details.
+
+**** New Texinfo ~options~ attribute on special blocks
+
+Using ~:options~ as a Texinfo attribute, it is possible to add
+information to custom environments. See manual for details.
+
+**** New HTML ~id~ attributes on special, example and quote blocks
+
+If the block has a =#+NAME:= attribute assigned, then the HTML element
+will have an ~id~ attribute with that name in the HTML export. This
+enables one to create links to these elements in other places, e.g.,
+~<a href="#name">text</a>~.
+
+**** Listings with captions are now numbered in HTML export
+
+The class associated to the numbering is "listing-number". If you
+don't want these blocks to be numbered, as it was the case until now,
+You may want to add ~.listing-number { display: none; }~ to the CSS
+used.
+
+**** Line Numbering in SRC/EXAMPLE blocks support arbitrary start number
+
+The ~-n~ option to ~SRC~ and ~EXAMPLE~ blocks can now take a numeric
+argument to specify the staring line number for the source or example
+block. The ~+n~ option can now take a numeric argument that will be
+added to the last line number from the previous block as the starting
+point for the SRC/EXAMPLE block.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC org
+,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp -n 20
+;; this will export with line number 20
+(message "This is line 21")
+,#+END_SRC
+,#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp +n 10
+;; This will be listed as line 31
+(message "This is line 32")
+,#+END_SRC
+#+END_SRC
+
+**** Allow toggling center for images in LaTeX export
+
+With the global variable ~org-latex-images-centered~ or the local
+attribute ~:center~ it is now possible to center an image in LaTeX
+export.
+
+**** Default CSS class ~org-svg~ for SVG images in HTML export
+
+SVG images exported in HTML are now by default assigned a CSS class
+~org-svg~ if no CSS class is specified with the ~:class~ attribute. By
+default, the CSS styling of class ~org-svg~ specifies an image width of
+90\thinsp{}% of the container the image.
+
+**** Markdown footnote export customization
+
+Variables ~org-md-footnotes-section~ and ~org-md-footnote-format~
+introduced for =ox-md.el=. Both new variables define template strings
+which can be used to customize the format of the exported footnotes
+section and individual footnotes, respectively.
+
+*** Babel
+
+**** Blocks with coderefs labels can now be evaluated
+
+The labels are removed prior to evaluating the block.
+
+**** Support for Lua language
+**** Support for SLY in Lisp blocks
+
+See ~org-babel-lisp-eval-fn~ to activate it.
+
+**** Support for Stan language
+
+New ob-stan.el library.
+
+Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
+
+1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
+
+ This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
+ allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
+
+2. Compile the contents to a model file.
+
+ This provides access to the CmdStan interface. To use this, set
+ ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
+ that does not end in ".stan".
+
+For more information and usage examples, visit
+http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html
+
+**** Support for Oracle databases via ~sqlplus~
+
+=ob-sql= library supports running SQL blocks against an Oracle
+database using ~sqlplus~. Use with properties like this (all
+mandatory):
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+:engine oracle
+:dbhost <host.com>
+:dbport <1521>
+:dbuser <username>
+:database <database>
+:dbpassword <secret>
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+**** Improved support to Microsoft SQL Server via ~sqlcmd~
+
+=ob-sql= library removes support to the ~msosql~ engine which uses the
+deprecated ~osql~ command line tool, and replaces it with ~mssql~
+engine which uses the ~sqlcmd~ command line tool. Use with properties
+like this:
+
+#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
+:engine mssql
+:dbhost <host.com>
+:dbuser <username>
+:dbpassword <secret>
+:database <database>
+#+END_EXAMPLE
+
+If you want to use the *trusted connection* feature, omit *both* the
+=dbuser= and =dbpassword= properties and add =cmdline -E= to the properties.
+
+If your Emacs is running in a Cygwin environment, the =ob-sql= library
+can pass the converted path to the =sqlcmd= tool.
+
+**** Improved support of header arguments for postgresql
+
+The postgresql engine in a sql code block supports now ~:dbport~ nd
+~:dbpassword~ as header arguments.
+
+**** Support for additional plantuml output formats
+
+The support for output formats of [[http://plantuml.com/][plantuml]] has been extended to now
+include:
+
+All Diagrams:
+- png ::
+- svg ::
+- eps ::
+- pdf ::
+- vdx ::
+- txt :: ASCII art
+- utxt :: ASCII art using unicode characters
+
+Class Diagrams:
+- xmi ::
+- html ::
+
+State Diagrams:
+- scxml ::
+
+The output formats are determined by the file extension specified
+using the :file property, e.g.:
+
+#+begin_src plantuml :file diagram.png
+@startuml
+Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
+Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
+
+Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
+Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
+@enduml
+#+end_src
+
+Please note that *pdf* *does not work out of the box* and needs additional
+setup in addition to plantuml. See [[http://plantuml.com/pdf.html]] for
+details and setup information.
+
+*** Rewrite of radio lists
+
+Radio lists, i.e, Org plain lists in foreign buffers, have been
+rewritten to be on par with Radio tables. You can use a large set of
+parameters to control how a given list should be rendered. See manual
+for details.
+
+*** org-bbdb-anniversaries-future
+
+Used like ~org-bbdb-anniversaries~, it provides a few days warning for
+upcoming anniversaries (default: 7 days).
+
+*** Clear non-repeated SCHEDULED upon repeating a task
+
+If the task is repeated, and therefore done at least one, scheduling
+information is no longer relevant. It is therefore removed.
+
+See [[git:481719fbd5751aaa9c672b762cb43aea8ee986b0][commit message]] for more information.
+
+*** Support for ISO week trees
+
+ISO week trees are an alternative date tree format that orders entries
+by ISO week and not by month.
+
+For example:
+
+: * 2015
+: ** 2015-W35
+: ** 2015-W36
+: *** 2015-08-31 Monday
+
+They are supported in org-capture via ~file+weektree~ and
+~file+weektree+prompt~ target specifications.
+
+*** Accept ~:indent~ parameter when capturing column view
+
+When defining a "columnview" dynamic block, it is now possible to add
+an :indent parameter, much like the one in the clock table.
+
+On the other hand, stars no longer appear in an ITEM field.
+
+*** Columns view
+
+**** ~org-columns~ accepts a prefix argument
+
+When called with a prefix argument, ~org-columns~ apply to the whole
+buffer unconditionally.
+
+**** New variable : ~org-agenda-view-columns-initially~
+
+The variable used to be a ~defvar~, it is now a ~defcustom~.
+
+**** Allow custom summaries
+
+It is now possible to add new summary types, or override those
+provided by Org by customizing ~org-columns-summary-types~, which see.
+
+**** Allow multiple summaries for any property
+
+Columns can now summarize the same property using different summary
+types.
+
+*** Preview LaTeX snippets in buffers not visiting files
+*** New option ~org-attach-commit~
+
+When non-nil, commit attachments with git, assuming the document is in
+a git repository.
+
+*** Allow conditional case-fold searches in ~org-occur~
+
+When set to ~smart~, the new variable ~org-occur-case-fold-search~ allows
+to mimic =isearch.el=: if the regexp searched contains any upper case
+character (or character class), the search is case sensitive.
+Otherwise, it is case insensitive.
+
+*** More robust repeated =ox-latex= footnote handling
+
+Repeated footnotes are now numbered by referring to a label in the
+first footnote.
+
+*** The ~org-block~ face is inherited by ~src-blocks~
+
+This works also when =org-src-fontify-natively= is non-nil. It is also
+possible to specify per-languages faces. See =org-src-block-faces= and
+the manual for details.
+
+*** Links are now customizable
+
+Links can now have custom colors, tooltips, keymaps, display behavior,
+etc. Links are now centralized in ~org-link-parameters~.
+
+** New functions
+
+*** ~org-next-line-empty-p~
+
+It replaces the deprecated ~next~ argument to ~org-previous-line-empty-p~.
+
+*** ~org-show-children~
+
+It is a faster implementation of ~outline-show-children~.
+
+** Removed functions
+
+*** ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine~ has been removed.
+
+Use ~org-agenda-filter-by-tag~ instead.
+
+*** ~org-agenda-todayp~ is deprecated.
+
+Use ~org-agenda-today-p~ instead.
+
+*** ~org-babel-get-header~ is removed.
+
+Use ~org-babel--get-vars~ or ~assq~ instead, as applicable.
+
+*** ~org-babel-trim~ is deprecated.
+
+Use ~org-trim~ instead.
+
+*** ~org-element-remove-indentation~ is deprecated.
+
+Use ~org-remove-indentation~ instead.
+
+*** ~org-image-file-name-regexp~ is deprecated
+
+Use ~image-file-name-regexp~ instead.
+The never-used-in-core ~extensions~ argument has been dropped.
+
+*** ~org-list-parse-list~ is deprecated
+
+Use ~org-list-to-lisp~ instead.
+
+*** ~org-on-heading-p~ is deprecated
+
+A comment to this effect was in the source code since 7.8.03, but
+now a byte-compiler warning will be generated as well.
+
+*** ~org-table-p~ is deprecated
+
+Use ~org-at-table-p~ instead.
+
+*** ~org-table-recognize-table.el~ is deprecated
+
+It was not called by any org code since 2010.
+
+*** Various reimplementations of cl-lib functions are deprecated
+
+The affected functions are:
+- ~org-count~
+- ~org-remove-if~
+- ~org-remove-if-not~
+- ~org-reduce~
+- ~org-every~
+- ~org-some~
+
+Additionally, ~org-sublist~ is deprecated in favor of ~cl-subseq~. Note
+the differences in indexing conventions: ~org-sublist~ is 1-based and
+end-inclusive; ~cl-subseq~ is 0-based and end-exclusive.
+
+** Removed options
+
+*** Remove all options related to ~ido~ or ~iswitchb~
+
+This includes ~org-completion-use-iswitchb~ and ~org-completion-use-ido~.
+Instead Org uses regular functions, e.g., ~completion-read~ so as to
+let those libraries operate.
+
+*** Remove ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~
+
+Two consecutive blank lines always terminate all levels of current
+plain list.
+
+*** ~fixltx2e~ is removed from ~org-latex-default-packages-alist~
+
+fixltx2e is obsolete, see LaTeX News 22.
+
+** Miscellaneous
+*** Add Icelandic smart quotes
+*** Allow multiple receiver locations in radio tables and lists
+*** Allow angular links within link descriptions
+
+It is now allowed to write, e.g.,
+~[[http:orgmode.org][<file:unicorn.png>]]~ as an equivalent to
+~[[http:orgmode.org][file:unicorn.png]]~. The advantage of the former
+is that spaces are allowed within the path.
+
+*** Beamer export back-ends uses ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
+*** ~:preparation-function~ called earlier during publishing
+
+Functions in this list are called before any file is associated to the
+current projet. Thus, they can be used to generate to be published
+Org files.
+
+*** Function ~org-remove-indentation~ changes.
+
+The new algorithm doesn't remove TAB characters not used for
+indentation.
+
+*** Secure placeholders in capture templates
+
+Placeholders in capture templates are no longer expanded recursively.
+However, ~%(...)~ constructs are expanded very late, so you can fill
+the contents of the S-exp with the replacement text of non-interactive
+placeholders. As before, interactive ones are still expanded as the
+very last step, so the previous statement doesn't apply to them.
+
+Note that only ~%(...)~ placeholders initially present in the
+template, or introduced using a file placeholder, i.e., ~%[...]~ are
+expanded. This prevents evaluating potentially malicious code when
+another placeholder, e.g., ~%i~ expands to a S-exp.
+
+*** Links stored by ~org-gnus-store-link~ in nnir groups
+
+Since gnus nnir groups are temporary, ~org-gnus-store-link~ now refers
+to the article's original group.
+
+*** ~org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate~ is now a function instead of a macro
+
+The calling convention has changed.
+
+*** HTML export table row customization changes
+
+Variable ~org-html-table-row-tags~ has been split into
+~org-html-table-row-open-tag~ and ~org-html-table-row-close-tag~.
+Both new variables can be either a string or a function which will be
+called with 6 parameters.
+
+*** =ITEM= special property returns headline without stars
+*** Rename ~org-insert-columns-dblock~ into ~org-columns-insert-dblock~
+
+The previous name is, for the time being, kept as an obsolete alias.
+
+*** ~org-trim~ can preserve leading indentation.
+
+When setting a new optional argument to a non-nil value, ~org-trim~
+preserves leading indentation while removing blank lines at the
+beginning of the string. The behavior is identical for white space at
+the end of the string.
+
+*** Function ~org-info-export~ changes.
+
+HTML links created from certain info links now point to =gnu.org= URL's rather
+than just to local files. For example info links such as =info:emacs#List
+Buffers= used to be converted to HTML links like this:
+
+: <a href="emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
+
+where local file =emacs.html= is referenced.
+For most folks this file does not exist.
+Thus the new behavior is to generate this HTML link instead:
+
+: <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs.html#List-Buffers">emacs#List Buffers</a>
+
+All emacs related info links are similarly translated plus few other
+=gnu.org= manuals.
+
+*** Repeaters with a ~++~ interval and a time can be shifted to later today
+
+Previously, if a recurring task had a timestamp of
+~<2016-01-01 Fri 20:00 ++1d>~ and was completed on =2016-01-02= at
+=08:00=, the task would skip =2016-01-02= and would be rescheduled for
+=2016-01-03=. Timestamps with ~++~ cookies and a specific time will
+now shift to the first possible future occurrence, even if the
+occurrence is later the same day the task is completed. (Timestamps
+already in the future are still shifted one time further into the
+future.)
+
+*** ~org-mobile-action-alist~ is now a defconst
+
+It used to be a defcustom, with a warning that it shouldn't be
+modified anyway.
+
+*** ~file+emacs~ and ~file+sys~ link types are deprecated
+
+They are still supported in Org 9.0 but will eventually be removed in
+a later release. Use ~file~ link type along with universal arguments
+to force opening it in either Emacs or with system application.
+
+*** New defcustom ~org-babel-J-command~ stores the j command
+*** New defalias ~org-babel-execute:j~
+
+Allows J source blocks be indicated by letter j. Previously the
+indication letter was solely J.
+
+*** ~org-open-line~ ignores tables at the very beginning of the buffer
+
+When ~org-special-ctrl-o~ is non-nil, it is impractical to create
+a blank line above a table at the beginning of the document. Now, as
+a special case, ~org-open-line~ behaves normally in this situation.
+
+*** ~org-babel-hash-show-time~ is now customizable
+
+The experimental variable used to be more or less confidential, as
+a ~defvar~.
+
+*** New ~:format~ property to parsed links
+
+It defines the format of the original link. Possible values are:
+~plain~, ~bracket~ and ~angle~.

** New features
+*** Default lexical evaluation of emacs-lisp src blocks
+
+Emacs-lisp src blocks in babel are now evaluated using lexical
+scoping. There is a new header to control this behavior.
+
+The default results in an eval with lexical scoping.
+:lexical yes
+
+This turns lexical scoping off in the eval (the former behavior).
+:lexical no

*** Additional syntax for non-unique grouptags

Additional syntax is defined for grouptags if the tags in the group
don't have to be distinct on a heading.
Grouptags had to previously be defined with { }. This syntax is
already used for exclusive tags and Grouptags need their own,
-non-exclusive syntax. This behaviour is achieved with [ ]. Note: {
-} can still be used also for Grouptags but then only one of the
-given tags can be used on the headline at the same time. Example:
