(org-agenda-get-scheduled):
* lisp/org.el (org-time-string-to-seconds):
For deadline and scheduled agenda display ignore the cyclic repeater
when calculating how many days late the task is. If you have a weekly
task and miss the date the agenda view will show more than a week late
now instead of resetting on the cyclic repeating date. This makes it
much more obvious when you missed a repeating task after the repeater.
Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this patch.
Hello, Org mode hackers,
This patch defines a variable `org-agenda-persistent-filters'.
When it is set, filters persist from one agenda view to the next.
I've found this convenient when using tags for contexts like @home,
@net, etc., some of which commonly remain applicable for a while.
Thanks,
Thomas

Allow C-2 C-c C-w to work in the agenda.
Update agenda after refiling
This rebuilds the agenda buffer after the refile operation completes.
It was removing the to-be-refiled task before prompting for the location
which felt a little strange. While on the prompt you can't see
the task you are refiling anymore since it was just removed from the
agenda list and if you aborted from the refile operation
with C-g then the task to be refiled has already been removed.
org-agenda.el (org-agenda-include-deadlines): Added new
customization variable to determine whether unscheduled tasks
should appear in the agenda solely because of their deadline.
Default to true, which was the previous behavior (it just wasn't
configurable).
(org-agenda-mode-map, org-agenda-view-mode-dispatch): Bind ! in
the agenda to show/hide deadline tasks.
(org-agenda-menu): Added menu option for show/hide deadlines.
(org-agenda-list): Make the agenda list sensitive to the value of
`org-agenda-include-deadlines'.
(org-agenda-toggle-deadlines): New function to toggle the value of
`org-agenda-include-deadlines' and repaint the modeline
indicators.
(org-agenda-set-mode-name): Show "Deadlines" in the agenda
modeline if deadline tasks are being displayed.
