`org-cycle-separator-lines' can now get a negative value, to indicate
that, if the number of empty lines before a visible entry is greater
than the specified number, then *all* empty lines should be shown.

Adds the output of 'git describe' to the org-version string if we are running
from a git repository. This identifies exactly what commit is checked out in
the org-mode git repository when reporting the org-mode version number.
org-version returns something like:
Org-mode version 6.29trans (release_6.29c.42.g5996)
which shows 6.29trans (somewhere after the last release tag) which
is 42 commits after release_6.29c at git commit 5996.
The git describe information is not included if org mode is not
running from a git repository.
An entry `#+TODO:' without content make `M-x org-mode' fail.
While it may cause problems to have no TODO keywords defined, this
should not make entering the mode fail.
It is possible that the regular expressions for LaTeX snippets match
at nested locations. For example, Nick Dokos submitted this:
,----
| #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{amsmath}
|
| * foo
|
| \[
| \begin{matrix}
| 1&d\\
| d&d\\
| \end{matrix}
| \]
|
`----
where the snippet regexps match at \[ ... \] and also at
\\begin{matrix}.
This would lead to two nested overlays being placed. With this
commit, only the outer one will remain.

This error is due to the fact that org-ido-completing-read does
convert alists to flat lists for completion. Now we check if the list
really is an alist before converting it.
The first cycle command on a line did not work correctly, to always
switched to FOLD. This was due to an error in new, faster code to
find the next visible line.

Changing the priority of a task when the point is after the heading
(anywhere inside the task) worked but aligning the tags failed with
a "not on a heading" error due to the save-excursion not including
the tag alignment. This change moves back to the heading and
includes that during tag alignment to remove the error text.
Patch by Bernt Hansen.
Write \n instead of \xa in the regexp, this is clearer.
And make the \n optional so that also lines at the end of
the buffers will still be matched as headlines.
This commit defines three new functions in org-timer.el:
- org-timer-set-timer, bound to `C-c C-x ;' in Org buffers
and to `;' in Org agenda buffers. This function sets a
timer for the headline the cursor is currently it. Up to
three timers can be set.
- org-timer-show-remaining-time: this shows the remaining
time for the last set timer.
- org-timer-reset-timers: this reset all timers.
This functionality was requested by Samuel Wales and emulates
that of tea-time.el -- see the emacswiki doc about tea-time.el:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/tea-time
When org-provide-todo-statistics is set to 'all-headlines, the
statistics are performed against all headlines, including those
with no TODO keyword.
This was requested by David A. Gershman.
Non-nil means modify the regexp in org-set-font-lock-defaults so
that headlines are fontified till the end of the line. This is
useful when setting a background color for the org-level-* faces.
This defaults to nil so that the old behavior is preserved.
For this we took another look at when drawers actually have to be
hidden again and found that CONTENTS view does not need it, and that
CHILDREN view only needs it before the first child.
The second speed-up comes from advising outline-end-of-subtree to use
the Org version when in org-mode.
The third speed-up comes from using a better way to find the next
visible line, using `next-single-char-property-change'.
Finally, `org-forward-same-level' and `org-backward-same-level' are
faster versions of their outline equivalents and are now bound to
`C-c C-f' and `C-c C-b'.
`org-read-date' was loosing the focus when the calendar was displayed on
a separate frame. This patch by Robert Goldman solves it by introducing
a new macro `org-save-frame-excursion' which preserve the frame focus.
See this thread: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/15528
(This fixes the issue I was trying to fix in a previous commit.)
This was a proposal by Samuel Wales. After the user selected a
refiles target, we make sure that the fully qualified target is in the
history, so that next time, UP will bring back exactly this target.
Before this patch the completion mechanism was this: TAB let's you
complete through link prefixes (gnus: file: bbdb: ...) then RET allows
completion if a completion mechanism is available for the chosen prefix.
Navigating through the history of stored links was a separate process,
available through the up/down M-n/M-p keys.
Now TAB not only completes through link prefixes but also through stored
links. This behavior matches other Emacs completion mechanisms a bit
more closely.
If you have a TODO keyword like "DELEGATED" and an entry like
"* Delegated this stuff to X", then you want this entry to be
in the list of possible targets. For that we need to distinguish
between DELEGATED as a keyword and "Delegated" as a simple word,
so (case-fold-search nil) seems relevant.
This default to t, so the default behavior of org-mode doesn't
change. But the user might want to keep at least one blank line
at the end of the remembered subtree, this option lets her do it.

Many different people want to set many different variables in a
buffer-local way for export. This cannot be done with file variables,
because the Org buffer is not current while the exporter is running.
Lots of variables can be set with the #+OPTIONS lines, but finding
abbreviations goes only so far.
Therefore we have now a general mechanism that can be used to bind
variables during export operations.
a line like: #+BIND: variable value
will bind the variable to value. For example,
the line
>> #+OPTIONS: toc:nil
can now equivalently be written as
>> #+BIND: org-export-with-toc nil

Customize the new variable org-footnote-auto-adjust or use the STARTUP
option fnadjust to get automatic renumbering and sorting of footnotes
after each insertion/deletion.
Agenda bulk commands on marked entries now can also set the scheduling
date or a deadline. Normally, all entries will be set to the
specified date. However, when writing the change as "++5d" or "++2w",
then each time stamp will independently be shifted by that amount.
TAB now cycles visibility in plain lists if the cursor is in a plain
list. This corresponds now to the new default value `t' of
`org-cycle-include-plain-lists'. If you want to treat plain list
items as part of the outline hierarchy during cycling of outline
headings (this is what a `t' value used to mean), set this variable to
`integrate'.

This behavior is a loft-over from the old days, and I am changing
this now.
This commit implements refiling directly from the agenda.
It also implements a mechanism for selecting a number of entries in
the agenda and then executing a command on all of them. Possible
actions include archive, refile, todo state setting, and more.

Good idea, I would say.
When yasnippet is active, it is the official binding of TAB. That
means, the org-mode self-insert command must know that it may blank
table fields if the last command was yas/expand.
Clicking on the clock in the mode line now pops up a menu with
clocking options.
A new command `C-c C-x C-e' allows to set or change the effort
estimate of the task currently being clocked. This is mainly useful
when using an alert notification when the task should be finished.
Based on a patch by Konstantin Antipin.
When the variable `org-treat-S-cursor-todo-selection-as-state-change'
is turned off, switching TODO keywords with S-cursor will not only
turn off logging, but also blocking.
