When org-depend.el is loaded, running the blocker hook will already
toggle a tag. However, when dimming the agenda, we do not want that.
Reported by Dan Griswold.
The variables =org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date=,
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date=, and
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date= make it possible to
exclude TODO entries which have this kind of planning info
associated with them. This is most useful for people who
schedule everything, and who use the TODO list mainly to find
things that are not yet scheduled. Thomas Morgan pointed out
that also the tags-todo search may serve exactly this
purpose, and that it might be good to have a way to make
these variables also apply to the tags-todo search. I can
see than, but could not convince myself to make this the
default. A new variable must be set to make this happen:
=org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options=.
An agenda series can have a set of global options. Matt Lundin
reported that these options to not work completely. There reason was
that, when calling `org-finalize-agenda' for a series, the dynamic
binding of those options was already off again. This commit makes
sure that these bindings are available also during this final step.
A new perl program, list-hooks.pl, now extracts the full list of hook
and function variables in Org, for inclusion into Worg's org-hooks.org.
Also, add a docstring to a few hooks that did not have one.
A prefix argument to the `org-agenda-show' command is now interpreted
to make sure the entire entry is made visible in the other window, not
only the headline.
Updating agenda lines did display tags incorrectly, because it used
the list of tags available as a property to remake the list. However,
that list contains down-cased versions of the tags, because all the
filtering in the agenda does ignore case in tags.
This patch implements a fresh scan for the tags each time a line is
updated, and in this way fixes the problem. It also reverses a
previous attempt to fix a similar problem.

This patch add a new customization variable `org-tag-faces' that can
be used to specify such faces. The rest of the patch implements these
new faces in Org-mode buffers as well as in the agenda.
This patch does a lot of things. First, it makes sure that the tags
transferred to the agenda as text properties on each line are do carry
information about there origin (in the form of an `inherited' text
property). Then it modifies the function creating agenda lines so
that inherited tags will be listed and identified as such in the
agenda.
This new feature can be turned off with a new variable,
`org-agenda-show-inherited-tags'.
If you set the variable `org-completion-use-ido' to t, and if you have
ido-mode turned on, most instanced of completion in Org-mode will use
ido-complete.
Thanks to Samuel Wales and Eric Schulte for patches to this effect.
Georg C.F. Greve asked for configurable leaders strings for agenda
display of time ranges. This patch implements these strings, in the
new option `org-agenda-timerange-leaders'.

This changes the default value for Effort during agenda filtering so
that an undefined Effort value is treated as 0 instead of nil. Tasks
with no effort defined now return zero effort when selecting tasks for
the filter.
There was effectively no way to select 'tasks with no effort defined'
using the agenda effort filter. The '<' operator is interpreted as
'<=' and the default effort selection defined in
org-agenda-filter-by-tag starts with zero ("0 0:10 ...") so this
change just treats tasks with no effort defined the same as tasks with
an effort of 0.
This allows fast selection of NEXT tasks with no effort defined.
Column view with follow-mode active in the agenda is great for quickly
filling in the agenda estimated effort values for tasks. Just display
your Next tasks, then / 0 to select tasks with no effort and enter
column mode (C-c C-x C-c) and fill in your effort values with the
quick keys (0-9) for all of the tasks that have blanks in the effort
column.
Jurgen Defume asked for a way to display only logging information in
the agenda. This patch implements such a possibility. It works by
calling `org-agenda-log-mode' (bound to `l' in the agenda) with a
double prefix arg. This sets the variable `org-agenda-show-log' to a
special value `only' which is then interpreted by the agenda-creating
functions.
Org records (depending on setup) various information about progress
achieved with projects and tasks. It can record when an item is done
(when it is "closed"), it can record time spent working on these
entries (clocking), and it can record state changes.
In the daily/weekly agenda, turning on logbook mode with the `l' key
will lists the tasks closed or clocked on a day.
This patch implements showing recorded state changes in the agenda
logbook. By default, showing state changes is not turned on. But you
can configure the new variable `org-agenda-log-mode-items' to trigger
inclusion of state changes. An alternative way is to press `C-u l' in
the agenda, to temporarily force inclusion of all possible entries
(closed, clock, state) into the agenda display.
In passing, this patch renames the function `org-agenda-get-closed' to
the now more appropriate `org-agenda-get-progress'. The old name
continues to be available as an alias, but its use is deprecated.
