John Wiegley will share more Emacs 28 details
-00:25.133 --> 00:26.913
+00:19.703 --> 00:21.483
in his update, so check out his talk.

Andrea Corallo's giving a talk
-00:28.783 --> 00:30.418
+00:23.353 --> 00:24.988
on native compilation too.

+Org Mode is now at version 9.5.
-00:33.732 --> 00:35.086
+00:28.302 --> 00:29.656
New features include
-00:35.086 --> 00:36.935
+00:29.656 --> 00:31.505
a library for managing citations,
-00:36.935 --> 00:38.414
+00:31.505 --> 00:32.984
asynchronous session support
-00:38.414 --> 00:39.375
+00:32.984 --> 00:33.945
for code blocks,
-00:39.375 --> 00:40.342
+00:33.945 --> 00:34.912
and better control
-00:40.342 --> 00:41.595
+00:34.912 --> 00:36.165
of your agenda's appearance.
-00:41.595 --> 00:43.372
+00:36.165 --> 00:37.942
If you've been getting your Org packages
-00:43.372 --> 00:44.506
+00:37.942 --> 00:39.076
from Org ELPA,
-00:44.506 --> 00:46.128
+00:39.076 --> 00:40.698
you can update your configuration
-00:46.128 --> 00:47.896
+00:40.698 --> 00:42.466
to get Org from GNU ELPA
-00:47.896 --> 00:50.155
+00:42.466 --> 00:44.725
and org-contrib from NonGNU ELPA.
-00:50.155 --> 00:52.278
+00:44.725 --> 00:46.848
The new release of the Org Roam package
-00:52.278 --> 00:54.185
+00:46.848 --> 00:48.755
should be a faster and more consistent way
-00:54.185 --> 00:56.060
+00:48.755 --> 00:50.630
to use Org to manage a knowledgebase,
-00:56.060 --> 00:58.423
+00:50.630 --> 00:52.993
and org-roam-ui looks pretty snazzy.
-00:58.423 --> 01:00.531
+00:52.993 --> 00:55.101
The best way to keep up with Org changes
-01:00.531 --> 01:02.556
+00:55.101 --> 00:57.126
is to check out the blog This Month in Org.
-01:02.556 --> 01:03.439
+00:57.126 --> 00:58.009
3.
-01:03.439 --> 01:05.469
+00:58.009 --> 01:00.039
New Magit major release!
-01:05.469 --> 01:07.781
+01:00.039 --> 01:02.351
Jonas Bernoulli has split some functionality
-01:07.781 --> 01:09.557
+01:02.351 --> 01:04.127
into other packages so that
-01:09.557 --> 01:11.719
+01:04.127 --> 01:06.289
Emacs Lisp developers can use them, such as
-01:11.719 --> 01:14.049
+01:06.289 --> 01:08.619
magit-section, transient, and forge.
-01:14.049 --> 01:16.502
+01:08.619 --> 01:11.072
Here's an example of using magit-section
-01:16.502 --> 01:17.773
+01:11.072 --> 01:12.343
to manage groups of buffers.
-01:17.773 --> 01:19.333
+01:12.343 --> 01:13.903
You can learn more about Transient
-01:19.333 --> 01:20.842
+01:13.903 --> 01:15.412
in the talk on self-describing
-01:20.842 --> 01:23.538
+01:15.412 --> 01:18.108
smart domain-specific languages or DSLs.
-01:23.538 --> 01:24.320
+01:18.108 --> 01:18.890
4.
-01:24.320 --> 01:26.545
+01:18.890 --> 01:21.115
In terms of smaller packages, there's been
-01:26.545 --> 01:28.625
+01:21.115 --> 01:23.195
a lot of activity around completion.
-01:28.625 --> 01:30.292
+01:23.195 --> 01:24.862
Karthik has a great diagram,
-01:30.292 --> 01:32.459
+01:24.862 --> 01:27.029
and Prot explains how things work together.
-01:32.459 --> 01:34.414
+01:27.029 --> 01:28.984
I think the idea is that instead of having
-01:34.414 --> 01:36.066
+01:28.984 --> 01:30.636
one large completion system
-01:36.066 --> 01:38.344
+01:30.636 --> 01:32.914
like Helm or Icicles, you can choose
-01:38.344 --> 01:40.110
+01:32.914 --> 01:34.680
a few different, smaller packages
-01:40.110 --> 01:41.869
+01:34.680 --> 01:36.439
and configure them to work together.
-01:41.869 --> 01:43.129
+01:36.439 --> 01:37.699
If you're curious about this,
-01:43.129 --> 01:45.159
+01:37.699 --> 01:39.729
you might start with either selectrum
-01:45.159 --> 01:47.871
+01:39.729 --> 01:42.441
or vertico, which are both completion interfaces,
-01:47.871 --> 01:50.443
+01:42.441 --> 01:45.013
add marginalia for more information,
-01:50.443 --> 01:52.222
+01:45.013 --> 01:46.792
and try consult for many useful
-01:52.222 --> 01:53.233
+01:46.792 --> 01:47.803
completing commands.
-01:53.233 --> 01:54.279
+01:47.803 --> 01:48.849
There are so many options,
-01:54.279 --> 01:55.867
+01:48.849 --> 01:50.437
so it might be useful to check out
-01:55.867 --> 01:56.714
+01:50.437 --> 01:51.284
some discussions.
-01:56.714 --> 01:57.477
+01:51.284 --> 01:52.047
5.
-01:57.477 --> 01:59.531
+01:52.047 --> 01:54.101
Embark is usually mentioned as part of
-01:59.531 --> 02:00.607
+01:54.101 --> 01:55.177
that group of packages,
-02:00.607 --> 02:02.196
+01:55.177 --> 01:56.766
but it's well worth looking into
-02:02.196 --> 02:03.895
+01:56.766 --> 01:58.465
even if you use a different system.
-02:03.895 --> 02:06.417
+01:58.465 --> 02:00.987
Embark lets you have context-sensitive shortcuts
-02:06.417 --> 02:08.796
+02:00.987 --> 02:03.366
that work on things in buffers, minibuffers,
-02:08.796 --> 02:10.768
+02:03.366 --> 02:05.338
and even collections of things.
-02:10.768 --> 02:11.737
+02:05.338 --> 02:06.307
You can also use it
-02:11.737 --> 02:12.912
+02:06.307 --> 02:07.482
when you start doing one command
-02:12.912 --> 02:15.012
+02:07.482 --> 02:09.582
and then decide to do a different one instead.
-02:15.012 --> 02:16.271
+02:09.582 --> 02:10.841
For more ideas, check out
-02:16.271 --> 02:17.495

Fifteen Ways to Use Embark.
-02:17.495 --> 02:18.285
+02:12.065 --> 02:12.855
6.
-02:18.285 --> 02:20.163
+02:12.855 --> 02:14.733
Now that there are Emacs Lisp bindings
-02:20.163 --> 02:22.139
+02:14.733 --> 02:16.709
for tree-sitter, we can work more easily
-02:22.139 --> 02:23.799
+02:16.709 --> 02:18.369
with the structure of code instead of
-02:23.799 --> 02:25.461
+02:18.369 --> 02:20.031
just using regular expressions.
-02:25.461 --> 02:26.209
+02:20.031 --> 02:20.779
Check out the talk
-02:26.209 --> 02:27.804
+02:20.779 --> 02:22.374
on Tree-edit and structural editing
-02:27.804 --> 02:28.593
+02:22.374 --> 02:23.163
to learn more.
-02:28.593 --> 02:30.056
+02:23.163 --> 02:24.626
You can use tree-sitter for
-02:30.056 --> 02:31.951
+02:24.626 --> 02:26.521
intelligent snippets that get information
-02:31.951 --> 02:33.169
+02:26.521 --> 02:27.739
from the code around them,
-02:33.169 --> 02:35.064
+02:27.739 --> 02:29.634
editing Lisp expressions,
-02:35.064 --> 02:37.401
+02:29.634 --> 02:31.971
and navigating text objects in Evil mode.
-02:37.401 --> 02:39.670
+02:31.971 --> 02:34.240
(That's when Emacs is pretending to be Vi.)
-02:39.670 --> 02:42.563
+02:34.240 --> 02:37.133
Dynamic modules help us add more to Emacs
-02:42.563 --> 02:44.388
+02:37.133 --> 02:38.958
than Emacs Lisp easily offers,
-02:44.388 --> 02:46.804
+02:38.958 --> 02:41.374
such as structural editing in OCaml
-02:46.804 --> 02:48.729
+02:41.374 --> 02:43.299
and using Rust to figure out parentheses
-02:48.729 --> 02:50.086
+02:43.299 --> 02:44.656
and indentation for Lisp.
-02:50.086 --> 02:50.999
+02:44.656 --> 02:45.569
If you're curious,
-02:50.999 --> 02:51.923
+02:45.569 --> 02:46.493
check out the talk on
-02:51.923 --> 02:54.336
+02:46.493 --> 02:48.906
Extending Emacs in Rust with Dynamic Modules.
-02:54.336 --> 02:55.239
+02:48.906 --> 02:49.809
7.
-02:55.239 --> 02:57.294
+02:49.809 --> 02:51.864
Collaborative editing is now much easier
-02:57.294 --> 02:59.890
+02:51.864 --> 02:54.460
since the CRDT package is in GNU ELPA.
-02:59.890 --> 03:01.632
+02:54.460 --> 02:56.202
It allows multiple people to edit
-03:01.632 --> 03:03.285
+02:56.202 --> 02:57.855
the same file over the network,
-03:03.285 --> 03:05.025
+02:57.855 --> 02:59.595
using their own Emacs.
-03:05.025 --> 03:06.850
+02:59.595 --> 03:01.420
This means you can keep your own config
-03:06.850 --> 03:08.674
+03:01.420 --> 03:03.244
and keybindings, yay!
-03:08.674 --> 03:10.400
+03:03.244 --> 03:04.970
Watch the Emacs Research Group talk
-03:10.400 --> 03:12.185
+03:04.970 --> 03:06.755
for an example of how several people
-03:12.185 --> 03:13.337
+03:06.755 --> 03:07.907
used it to work together.
-03:13.337 --> 03:13.838
+03:07.907 --> 03:08.408
8.
-03:13.838 --> 03:15.401
+03:08.408 --> 03:09.971
In case you're still under the impression
-03:15.401 --> 03:17.049
+03:09.971 --> 03:11.619
that Emacs is just a text editor,
-03:17.049 --> 03:18.560
+03:11.619 --> 03:13.130
some folks have been working on
-03:18.560 --> 03:20.254
+03:13.130 --> 03:14.824
pretty neat graphical experiments.
-03:20.254 --> 03:22.432
+03:14.824 --> 03:17.002
These OpenGL bindings for Emacs Lisp
-03:22.432 --> 03:24.195
+03:17.002 --> 03:18.765
use an embedded xwidget,
-03:24.195 --> 03:26.607
+03:18.765 --> 03:21.177
while other prototypes use the SVG support
-03:26.607 --> 03:27.700
+03:21.177 --> 03:22.270
that's built into Emacs
-03:27.700 --> 03:29.047
+03:22.270 --> 03:23.617
for Gantt charts,
-03:29.047 --> 03:29.819
+03:23.617 --> 03:24.389
scribbles,
-03:29.819 --> 03:31.320
+03:24.389 --> 03:25.890
and even diagrams.
-03:31.320 --> 03:32.790
+03:25.890 --> 03:27.360
The color-picker from that one
-03:32.790 --> 03:34.841
+03:27.360 --> 03:29.411
looks particularly useful for CSS.
-03:34.841 --> 03:37.043
+03:29.411 --> 03:31.613
If you want to play around with adding SVGs
-03:37.043 --> 03:38.722
+03:31.613 --> 03:33.292
to your files and interfaces,
-03:38.722 --> 03:39.762
+03:33.292 --> 03:34.332
svg-icon
-03:39.762 --> 03:40.679
+03:34.332 --> 03:35.249
and svg-lib
-03:40.679 --> 03:42.733
+03:35.249 --> 03:37.303
might be good places to start. (Reddit)
-03:42.733 --> 03:44.207
+03:37.303 --> 03:38.777
Of course, there's always a place
-03:44.207 --> 03:45.209
+03:38.777 --> 03:39.779
for ASCII art,
-03:45.209 --> 03:46.933
+03:39.779 --> 03:41.503
especially with the new boxy package
-03:46.933 --> 03:48.433
+03:41.503 --> 03:43.003
that you can use for org files,
-03:48.433 --> 03:49.753
+03:43.003 --> 03:44.323
imenu navigation,
-03:49.753 --> 03:51.418
+03:44.323 --> 03:45.988
and even things in real life.
-03:51.418 --> 03:52.208
+03:45.988 --> 03:46.778
9.
-03:52.208 --> 03:54.411
+03:46.778 --> 03:48.981
There have been a lot of great posts, videos,
-03:54.411 --> 03:56.312
+03:48.981 --> 03:50.882
and livestreams about Emacs this year.
-03:56.312 --> 03:57.574
+03:50.882 --> 03:52.144
In addition to the ones
-03:57.574 --> 03:58.973
+03:52.144 --> 03:53.543
from System Crafters,
-03:58.973 --> 04:00.153
+03:53.543 --> 03:54.723
Emacs Elements,
-04:00.153 --> 04:01.664
+03:54.723 --> 03:56.234
and Protesilaos,
-04:01.664 --> 04:02.474
+03:56.234 --> 03:57.044
John Kitchin
-04:02.474 --> 04:03.220
+03:57.044 --> 03:57.790
and Mike Zamansky
-04:03.220 --> 04:04.255
+03:57.790 --> 03:58.825
are back, hooray!
-04:04.255 --> 04:06.626
+03:58.825 --> 04:01.196
And Marcin Borkowski has just finished
-04:06.626 --> 04:08.516
+04:01.196 --> 04:03.086
writing an intermediate textbook
-04:08.516 --> 04:09.751
+04:03.086 --> 04:04.321
Emacs Lisp, too!
-04:09.751 --> 04:10.422
+04:04.321 --> 04:04.992
10.
-04:10.422 --> 04:11.929
+04:04.992 --> 04:06.499
Lastly, if you want to chat
