+
+00:00.003 --> 00:01.519
+I'm Sacha Chua, and here are
+
+00:01.519 --> 00:03.754
+ten Emacs News highlights for 2021.
+
+00:03.754 --> 00:05.305
+If you want to follow the links,
+
+00:05.305 --> 00:06.846
+check out the wiki page at
+
+00:06.846 --> 00:11.024
+https://emacsconf.org/2021/talks/news/ .
+
+00:11.024 --> 00:13.442
+1. The Emacs developers are currently
+
+00:13.442 --> 00:15.346
+working on Emacs 28.1,
+
+00:15.346 --> 00:17.119
+which will be the next major release.
+
+00:17.119 --> 00:18.442
+Native compilation should
+
+00:18.442 --> 00:19.959
+make everything way faster,
+
+00:19.959 --> 00:21.476
+and emoji support will probably
+
+00:21.476 --> 00:22.549
+make things more fun. 😎👍
+
+00:22.549 --> 00:25.133
+John Wiegley will share more Emacs 28 details
+
+00:25.133 --> 00:26.913
+in his update, so check out his talk.
+
+00:26.913 --> 00:28.783
+Andrea Corallo's giving a talk
+
+00:28.783 --> 00:30.418
+on native compilation too.
+
+00:30.418 --> 00:31.206
+2.
+
+00:31.206 --> 00:33.732
+Org Mode is now at version 9.5.
+
+00:33.732 --> 00:35.086
+New features include
+
+00:35.086 --> 00:36.935
+a library for managing citations,
+
+00:36.935 --> 00:38.414
+asynchronous session support
+
+00:38.414 --> 00:39.375
+for code blocks,
+
+00:39.375 --> 00:40.342
+and better control
+
+00:40.342 --> 00:41.595
+of your agenda's appearance.
+
+00:41.595 --> 00:43.372
+If you've been getting your Org packages
+
+00:43.372 --> 00:44.506
+from Org ELPA,
+
+00:44.506 --> 00:46.128
+you can update your configuration
+
+00:46.128 --> 00:47.896
+to get Org from GNU ELPA
+
+00:47.896 --> 00:50.155
+and org-contrib from NonGNU ELPA.
+
+00:50.155 --> 00:52.278
+The new release of the Org Roam package
+
+00:52.278 --> 00:54.185
+should be a faster and more consistent way
+
+00:54.185 --> 00:56.060
+to use Org to manage a knowledgebase,
+
+00:56.060 --> 00:58.423
+and org-roam-ui looks pretty snazzy.
+
+00:58.423 --> 01:00.531
+The best way to keep up with Org changes
+
+01:00.531 --> 01:02.556
+is to check out the blog This Month in Org.
+
+01:02.556 --> 01:03.439
+3.
+
+01:03.439 --> 01:05.469
+New Magit major release!
+
+01:05.469 --> 01:07.781
+Jonas Bernoulli has split some functionality
+
+01:07.781 --> 01:09.557
+into other packages so that
+
+01:09.557 --> 01:11.719
+Emacs Lisp developers can use them, such as
+
+01:11.719 --> 01:14.049
+magit-section, transient, and forge.
+
+01:14.049 --> 01:16.502
+Here's an example of using magit-section
+
+01:16.502 --> 01:17.773
+to manage groups of buffers.
+
+01:17.773 --> 01:19.333
+You can learn more about Transient
+
+01:19.333 --> 01:20.842
+in the talk on self-describing
+
+01:20.842 --> 01:23.538
+smart domain-specific languages or DSLs.
+
+01:23.538 --> 01:24.320
+4.
+
+01:24.320 --> 01:26.545
+In terms of smaller packages, there's been
+
+01:26.545 --> 01:28.625
+a lot of activity around completion.
+
+01:28.625 --> 01:30.292
+Karthik has a great diagram,
+
+01:30.292 --> 01:32.459
+and Prot explains how things work together.
+
+01:32.459 --> 01:34.414
+I think the idea is that instead of having
+
+01:34.414 --> 01:36.066
+one large completion system
+
+01:36.066 --> 01:38.344
+like Helm or Icicles, you can choose
+
+01:38.344 --> 01:40.110
+a few different, smaller packages
+
+01:40.110 --> 01:41.869
+and configure them to work together.
+
+01:41.869 --> 01:43.129
+If you're curious about this,
+
+01:43.129 --> 01:45.159
+you might start with either selectrum
+
+01:45.159 --> 01:47.871
+or vertico, which are both completion interfaces,
+
+01:47.871 --> 01:50.443
+add marginalia for more information,
+
+01:50.443 --> 01:52.222
+and try consult for many useful
+
+01:52.222 --> 01:53.233
+completing commands.
+
+01:53.233 --> 01:54.279
+There are so many options,
+
+01:54.279 --> 01:55.867
+so it might be useful to check out
+
+01:55.867 --> 01:56.714
+some discussions.
+
+01:56.714 --> 01:57.477
+5.
+
+01:57.477 --> 01:59.531
+Embark is usually mentioned as part of
+
+01:59.531 --> 02:00.607
+that group of packages,
+
+02:00.607 --> 02:02.196
+but it's well worth looking into
+
+02:02.196 --> 02:03.895
+even if you use a different system.
+
+02:03.895 --> 02:06.417
+Embark lets you have context-sensitive shortcuts
+
+02:06.417 --> 02:08.796
+that work on things in buffers, minibuffers,
+
+02:08.796 --> 02:10.768
+and even collections of things.
+
+02:10.768 --> 02:11.737
+You can also use it
+
+02:11.737 --> 02:12.912
+when you start doing one command
+
+02:12.912 --> 02:15.012
+and then decide to do a different one instead.
+
+02:15.012 --> 02:16.271
+For more ideas, check out
+
+02:16.271 --> 02:17.495
+Fifteen Ways to Use Embark.
+
+02:17.495 --> 02:18.285
+6.
+
+02:18.285 --> 02:20.163
+Now that there are Emacs Lisp bindings
+
+02:20.163 --> 02:22.139
+for tree-sitter, we can work more easily
+
+02:22.139 --> 02:23.799
+with the structure of code instead of
+
+02:23.799 --> 02:25.461
+just using regular expressions.
+
+02:25.461 --> 02:26.209
+Check out the talk
+
+02:26.209 --> 02:27.804
+on Tree-edit and structural editing
+
+02:27.804 --> 02:28.593
+to learn more.
+
+02:28.593 --> 02:30.056
+You can use tree-sitter for
+
+02:30.056 --> 02:31.951
+intelligent snippets that get information
+
+02:31.951 --> 02:33.169
+from the code around them,
+
+02:33.169 --> 02:35.064
+editing Lisp expressions,
+
+02:35.064 --> 02:37.401
+and navigating text objects in Evil mode.
+
+02:37.401 --> 02:39.670
+(That's when Emacs is pretending to be Vi.)
+
+02:39.670 --> 02:42.563
+Dynamic modules help us add more to Emacs
+
+02:42.563 --> 02:44.388
+than Emacs Lisp easily offers,
+
+02:44.388 --> 02:46.804
+such as structural editing in OCaml
+
+02:46.804 --> 02:48.729
+and using Rust to figure out parentheses
+
+02:48.729 --> 02:50.086
+and indentation for Lisp.
+
+02:50.086 --> 02:50.999
+If you're curious,
+
+02:50.999 --> 02:51.923
+check out the talk on
+
+02:51.923 --> 02:54.336
+Extending Emacs in Rust with Dynamic Modules.
+
+02:54.336 --> 02:55.239
+7.
+
+02:55.239 --> 02:57.294
+Collaborative editing is now much easier
+
+02:57.294 --> 02:59.890
+since the CRDT package is in GNU ELPA.
+
+02:59.890 --> 03:01.632
+It allows multiple people to edit
+
+03:01.632 --> 03:03.285
+the same file over the network,
+
+03:03.285 --> 03:05.025
+using their own Emacs.
+
+03:05.025 --> 03:06.850
+This means you can keep your own config
+
+03:06.850 --> 03:08.674
+and keybindings, yay!
+
+03:08.674 --> 03:10.400
+Watch the Emacs Research Group talk
+
+03:10.400 --> 03:12.185
+for an example of how several people
+
+03:12.185 --> 03:13.337
+used it to work together.
+
+03:13.337 --> 03:13.838
+8.
+
+03:13.838 --> 03:15.401
+In case you're still under the impression
+
+03:15.401 --> 03:17.049
+that Emacs is just a text editor,
+
+03:17.049 --> 03:18.560
+some folks have been working on
+
+03:18.560 --> 03:20.254
+pretty neat graphical experiments.
+
+03:20.254 --> 03:22.432
+These OpenGL bindings for Emacs Lisp
+
+03:22.432 --> 03:24.195
+use an embedded xwidget,
+
+03:24.195 --> 03:26.607
+while other prototypes use the SVG support
+
+03:26.607 --> 03:27.700
+that's built into Emacs
+
+03:27.700 --> 03:29.047
+for Gantt charts,
+
+03:29.047 --> 03:29.819
+scribbles,
+
+03:29.819 --> 03:31.320
+and even diagrams.
+
+03:31.320 --> 03:32.790
+The color-picker from that one
+
+03:32.790 --> 03:34.841
+looks particularly useful for CSS.
+
+03:34.841 --> 03:37.043
+If you want to play around with adding SVGs
+
+03:37.043 --> 03:38.722
+to your files and interfaces,
+
+03:38.722 --> 03:39.762
+svg-icon
+
+03:39.762 --> 03:40.679
+and svg-lib
+
+03:40.679 --> 03:42.733
+might be good places to start. (Reddit)
+
+03:42.733 --> 03:44.207
+Of course, there's always a place
+
+03:44.207 --> 03:45.209
+for ASCII art,
+
+03:45.209 --> 03:46.933
+especially with the new boxy package
+
+03:46.933 --> 03:48.433
+that you can use for org files,
+
+03:48.433 --> 03:49.753
+imenu navigation,
+
+03:49.753 --> 03:51.418
+and even things in real life.
+
+03:51.418 --> 03:52.208
+9.
+
+03:52.208 --> 03:54.411
+There have been a lot of great posts, videos,
+
+03:54.411 --> 03:56.312
+and livestreams about Emacs this year.
+
+03:56.312 --> 03:57.574
+In addition to the ones
+
+03:57.574 --> 03:58.973
+from System Crafters,
+
+03:58.973 --> 04:00.153
+Emacs Elements,
+
+04:00.153 --> 04:01.664
+and Protesilaos,
+
+04:01.664 --> 04:02.474
+John Kitchin
+
+04:02.474 --> 04:03.220
+and Mike Zamansky
+
+04:03.220 --> 04:04.255
+are back, hooray!
+
+04:04.255 --> 04:04.926
+10.
+
+04:04.926 --> 04:06.433
+Lastly, if you want to chat
+
+04:06.433 --> 04:07.587
+with other Emacs folks
+
+04:07.587 --> 04:09.788
+and get help on Emacs, Org Mode,
+
+04:09.788 --> 04:10.715
+or other topics,
+
+04:10.715 --> 04:11.940
+the #emacs and #org-mode
+
+04:11.940 --> 04:14.365
+Internet Relay Chat or IRC channels
+
+04:14.365 --> 04:16.251
+are now on the libera.chat network
+
+04:16.251 --> 04:17.517
+instead of Freenode.
+
+04:17.517 --> 04:19.392
+If you'd like to add something I've missed,
+
+04:19.392 --> 04:21.087
+please add them to the wiki page,
+
+04:21.087 --> 04:23.538
+or e-mail me at sacha@sachachua.com .
+
+04:23.538 --> 04:25.058
+That's all for this quick review.
+
+04:25.058 --> 04:27.608
+Enjoy the rest of EmacsConf 2021!
