Text inside tables did not receive the full treatment of handling sub-
and superscripts, and of special character quoting like %, &, and {}.
This patch does fix this, but I am worried that I am overlooking the
true reason why Bastien did switch off these conversions. We'll see
if and what this will break.
Exporting tables to LaTeX suffered from the problem that Org tables
are often long, but that the tabular environment in LaTeX cannot
handle long tables. This patch fixes this issue.
LaTeX export can now deal with very long tables, by setting an option
in the "ATTR_LaTeX:" line. Also, you can specify the alignment by
hand. Here is an example:
Also, table export now correctly deals with tables that start with a
hline. In such a case, also the LaTeX version will have this extra
hline before the first line.
This patch introduces three improvements to refile target construction,
which should speed these functions up significantly.
1. A faster way to move up a level in the outline hierarchy
2. A better way to construct the outline path, in the case
that the command is scanning the entire hierarchy anyway
3. Avoid comparing the true-names of files.
The last data line in a table is often a line with important data, for
example sums of a column. In tables with varying length, the row
number of this line is constantly changing, which makes it hard to
write programs creating tables and then installing formulas.
This patch introduces @0 as a special reference to the last row, so
that @0$3 would be the field in the last row, 3rd column.
Unique identifiers for entries can now be used more efficiently.
Internally, a hash array has replaced the alist used so far to
keep track of the files in which an ID is defined. This makes it
quite fast to find an entry by ID.
There is now a new link type which looks like this:
id:GLOBALLY-UNIQUE-IDENTIFIER
This link points to a specific entry. When you move the entry to
a different file, for example if you move it to an archive
file, this link will continue to work.
The file /org-id.el/ contains an API that can be used to write
code using these identifiers, including creating IDs and finding
them wherever they are.
Org has its own method to create unique identifiers, but if the
system has /uuidgen/ command installed (Mac's and Linux systems
generally do), it will be used by default. You an also select
the method by hand, using the variable =org-id-method=.
If the ID system ever gets confused about where a certain ID is,
it initiates a global scan of all agenda files with associated
archives, all files previously known containing any IDs, and all
currently visited Org-mode files to rebuild the hash. You can
also initiate this by hand: =M-x org-id-update-id-locations=.
Running this command will also dump into the =*Messages*= buffer
information about any duplicate IDs. These should not exist, but
if you /copy/ an entry with its properties, duplicate IDs will
inevitably be produced. This is unavoidable in a plain text
system that allows you to edit the text in arbitrary ways, and a
portion of care on your side is needed to keep this system clean.
The hash is stored in the file =~/.emacs.d/.org-id-locations=.
This is also a change from previous versions where the file was
=~/.org=id-locations=. Therefore, you can remove this old file
if you have it. I am not sure what will happen if the =.emacs.d=
directory does not exists in your setup, but in modern Emacsen, I
believe it should exist. If you do not want to use IDs across
files, you can avoid the overhead with tracking IDs by
customizing the variable =org-id-track-globally=. IDs can then
still be used for links inside a single file.
IDs will also be used when you create a new link to an Org-mode
buffer. If you use =org-store-link= (normally at =C-c l=) inside
en entry in an Org-mode buffer, and ID property will be created
if it does not exist, and the stored link will be an =id:= link.
If you prefer the much less secure linking to headline text, you
can configure the variable =org-link-to-org-use-id=. The default
setting for this variable is =create-if-interactive=, meaning
that an ID will be created when you store a link interactively,
but not if you happen to be in an Org-mode file while you create
a remember note (which usually has a link to the place where you
were when starting remember).
Tables, and Hyperlinks that represent inlined images, can now be
equipped with additional information that will be used during
export. The information will be taken from the following special
lines in the buffer and apply to the first following table or
link.
- #+CAPTION: :: The caption of the image or table. This string
should be processed according to the export backend, but
this is not yet done.
- #+LABEL: :: A label to identify the figure/table for cross
references. For HTML export, this string will become the
ID for the `<div class="figure">' element that encapsulates
the image tag and the caption. For LaTeX export, this
string will be used as the argument of a `\label{...}'
macro. These lables will be available for internal links
like `[[label][Table] ]'.
- #+ATTR_HTML: :: Attributes for HTML export of image, to be
added as attributes into the `<img...>' tag. This string
will not be processed, so it should have immediately the
right format.
- #+ATTR_LaTeX: :: Attributes for LaTeX export of images, to
be inserted into the optional argument of the
`\includegraphics[...]{file}' command, to specify scaling,
clipping and other options. This string will not be
processed, so it should have immediately the right
format, like `width=5cm,angle=90'
For LaTeX export, if either a caption or a label is given, the
element will be exported as a float, i.e. wrapped into a figure
or table environment.

This patch fixes these issues.
Tassilo Horn asked for this, because he finds the default behavior of
silently choosing a different row too confusing. I actually do agree.
The main use of this feature was running averages, if you need this
feature, you can customize the variable
`org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline'.
Moving trees up or down with XEmacs caused a problem when the tree is
at the beginning if the buffer or narrowed region. This patch
protects the relevant calls to outline-flag-region so that they are
only executed if the range is valid.

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.
It seems that CSS and Java-script stuff should be quoted in a very
strange way in order to make sure that the resulting file functions
correct in current browsers *and* validates against various XHTML and
XML standards. To be honest, the quoting technique seem really
strange, but Sebastian Rose argues, that this is the way to handle
this issue.
Gnus uses w3m to wash HTML messages and installs w3m-minor-mode-map in
these buffers. Therefore, this patch makes sure that the special copy
command that converts HTML links to Org-mode links also gets installed
into the minor mode map.
This is as yet untested.
Calling `org-archive-to-archive-sibling' caused problems when used
several times in a row. The new killed subtree would be appended to
the current head of the kill-ring, instead of being pushed there. The
reason for this is that the command `kill-region', which is called by
`org-cut-subtree' changes the variable `this-command', so that during
the next archive command, `kill-region' will think that the previous
command was also a kill and do the append.
Normally this is wanted, to make sure that several kill commands
create one big yank string. But in this case it has to be avoided.
The patch fixes the problem by let-binding (and therefore protecting)
the value of `this-command' around the call to `org-cut-subtree'.

Harri Kiiskinen suggested that it might be useful to make the LOCATION
property an inherited property during iCalendar export. In this way
you can have set the LOCATION for a whole set of items by setting it
only in the parent.
While this will slow down iCalendar export for large files, I think it
can be quite useful. This patch does implement the basic code needed
for this functionality. However, you still need to tell Org that
LOCATION should be inherited, by setting org-use-property-inheritance.
If you set it to t, beware that this may trigger a significant
slowdown when creating the match view in the agenda. So it may be
better to set this variable to
(setq org-use-property-inheritance '("LOCATION"))
instead.
This patch improves the internal handling of the large number of
export options that Org-mode has. In particular, it now defines a
single constant, `org-export-plist-vars' that contains the full list
of options, and how these can be accessed through variables, and
through the #+OPTIONS line. Before the patch, there used to be a
separate list or the OPTIONS handling, which has gotten out of sync.
This now no longer can happen.
Also, this patch adds two new variables, `org-export-with-priority',
and `org-export-with-todo-keywords', which can be used to turn the
export of TODO keywords and priority cookies on and off, so that these
can simply disappear and not be shown in the exported file. In fact,
the default for the priority cookie is to remove it.
There were bugs in the mapping API, pointed to by Samuel Wales:
Manual says:
The following example counts the number of entries with TODO keyword
WAITING, in all agenda files.
(length (org-map-entries t "/+WAITING" nil 'agenda))
Org says invalid function for the string.
First of all, the example in the manual was wrong, the "nil" should be
gone. Second, the mapping function did not return all results in a
list, so that `length' could not count them.
This patch fixes these issues.
In addition to "<now>", "<today>", "<yesterday>", and
"<tomorrow>", there are more special values accepted now in
time comparisons in property searches: You may use strings
like =<+3d>= or =<-2w>=, with units d, w, m, and y for day,
week, month, and year, respectively
Thanks to Linday Todd for this proposal.
So far, the only way to select tags for inheritance was to
allow it for all tags, or to do a positive selection using
one of the more complex settings for
`org-use-tag-inheritance'. It may actually be better to
allow inheritance for all but a few tags, which was difficult
to achieve with this methodology.
This patch introduces a new option,
`org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance' which allows to specify an
exclusion list for inherited tags.
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'.
This file implements a special function to copy text from a w3m buffer
in a way that when the text is yanked back into an Org-mode buffer,
the links will be translated to Org syntax.
This key needs special treatment, because it needs to work *outside*
tables. The patch introduces a special command to call the
creation/conversion function if there is no conflicting binding to
`C-c |' outside of orgtbl-mode.
S-SPC did lead to an error in orgtbl-mode, because there is no binding
to this key. Now orgtbl-self-insert-command falls back on calling
self-insert-command for such cases.
This cleans up the implementation of the timer. Most important change
is that, after starting a time list with `C-c C-x -', you can then
simply use M-RET to add new items, which is addictive!
This patch implements a relative time for taking timed notes, useful
for example while watching a video, or during a meeting which is also
recorded. Here are the new commands:
- `C-c C-x .' ::
Insert a relative time into the buffer. The first time
you use this, the timer will be started. When called
with a prefix argument, the timer is reset to 0.
- `C-c C-x -' ::
Insert a description list item with the current relative
time. With a prefix argument, first reset the timer to 0.
- `C-c C-x 0' ::
Reset the timer without inserting anything into the buffer.
By default, the timer is reset to 0. When called with a
`C-u' prefix, reset the timer to specific starting
offset. The user is prompted for the offset, with a
default taken from a timer string at point, if any, So this
can be used to restart taking notes after a break in the
process. When called with a double prefix argument
`C-c C-u', change all timer strings in the active
region by a certain amount. This can be used to fix timer
strings if the timer was not started at exactly the right
moment.
When starting the publishing process with
`org-publish-current-project' from a file that is located in a project
that is also a component of a parent project, this patch now makes
sure that the entire parent project is published instead.
The creation of an automatic site map in org-publish with the
:auto-index and :index-filename parameter does exclude the index
file name from being added to the index. There was a bug which would
exclude this file name also in all subdirectories in a project. This
patch switches the comparison from looking at file names only to
looking at the complete path.
RET did fail in orgtbl-mode, if the cursor was at the beginning of the
buffer. Now it opens a new line whenever the cursor is at the
beginning of a line, and that includes the beginning of the buffer.....
Org-mode still has a few operations that do not work well when the
first line of a buffer is a headline. One was constructing the clock
table, but this one is eliminated by this patch.
When the export skips the text before the first headline, we now
include the comment line before the first headline, if any.
This makes sure that we can specify an anchor for this headline.
"\\" at the end of a line marks forces line breaks for HTML and LaTeX
export. ASCII export does preserve lines anyway, but these line break
indicators might still be present and need to be removed.
Reported by Rustom Mody.
This patch introduces a new variable,
`org-list-two-spaces-after-bullet-regexp'. It can be a regular
expression matching plain list bullets. When it matches, changing the
bullet type will introduce two spaces instead of one after each
bullet.
For example,
(setq org-list-two-spaces-after-bullet-regexp "[.)]")
will make two spaces after "1." and "1)".
This patch compacts the persistence code. It also make sure that no
variables outside Org's name space are created. Finally, it makes
sure that the resumed clock is not hidden after a restart of Emacs.
Saving the clock history and the running clock could lead to pointers
to non-existing buffer, or to dired buffers of directories. This
patch implements more consistency checks.
It also allows a new value for `org-clock-persist'. When this is
`clock', only the running clock, but not the entire clock history
is saved.
Commands that modify the bullet style of a plain list, or that
renumber such a list may lead to changes in the width of a bullet.
The indentation of the lines below such a bullet is now automatically
adapted.
Also fixes a bug in bullet style cycling.
This removes the ambiguous description that might lead org users
to try to set this variable without a '::' separator. Without
the :: separator C-c C-x C-S fails with

This patch defines a new minor mode, `org-remember-mode', which is
turned on when Org-mode is used to handle a remember buffer. This
provides a safe way to modify keybindings (in
`org-remember-mode-map'), without overwriting keys in `org-mode-map'.
Since Org put remember buffers into Org-mode, remember-mode-map will
be entirely ignored.
do completion does not work well with values including white space,
which means we cannot use it in completion of values in remember

Report by Richard Riley.
When ID's are created, Org tries to remember in which file the id is
located. However, if an ID is created in a remember buffer, no file
is known. This patch makes sure that this condition does not lead to
an error.
When an org-remember template inserts a property, the template-creating
function tries to support the user by retrieving a list of allowed
values to facilitate completion. So far this was done by getting the
property with inheritance, ignoring that the cursor in the target file
buffer may not be in an entry at all. So now we just look at the global
and file lists of allowed values.

Org allows to define invisible anchors in a document in comment lines
like
If such a line is directly before or after a headline, previously this
anchor was removed, and all references to it were replaced with
references to the anchor that the headline had anyway.
Matthew Lundin pointed out that this makes it impossible to have
permanent links to headlines that can also be used from outside the
current page.
This patch changes his situation by adding the additional targets as
empty anchors to the section heading. If works by creating, during
preprocessing, an alist with targets that do have aliases. During
publishing, these aliases are looked up and converted into anchors.
In LaTeX export, these additional targets become additional labels.
The was a faulty regular expression in this function which never

This patch implements the possibility to translate links.
It can be useful if use both planner and Org-mode, if you sometimes
copy text from one side to the other and you do not want to worry
about link syntax. This patch allows links created with planner to

implement the reverse conversion in planner as well.
This patch is a first shot at this functionality and very likely can
be improved.
Org's `org-yank' now identifies itself as being `yank' by setting
`this-command', and by making sure that the mark is set correctly. In
this way, `yank-pop' will work correctly after using `C-y' in an
Org-mode buffer. Org-mode does not have its own implementation, to
`yank-pop' will insert content plainly, without adjusting tree levels,
and without folding.
Samuel Wales pointed out that `yank-pop' doe not work anymore.
iCalendar export has now improved compliance with RFC 2445.
Now all occurrences in data fields of the double quotes are replaced

semicolon are quoted by surrounding them with double quotes.
Org sometimes hits a "Before first heading" error. This error happens
when `outline-back-to-heading' is called before the first heading in a
buffer. In normal use, this is something easy to fix, because of
course you know where you are and you can identify the problem.
However, when Org scans many different buffers, for example to collect
agenda entries, you may not be able to tell easily where this error
happened. This patch introduces a wrapper around
`outline-back-to-heading', with improving the error message by
spelling out buffer and location.
Georg C.F. Greve asked for configurable leaders strings for agenda

When an ASCII image is edited with C-c ', it will in the end be quoted
by prepending colons to each line. If tabulators are used in the
image, this may mess up the alignment. Since tabulators are not a
good idea in ASCII images anyway, this patch makes sure that any
tabulators are replaced by spaces.
Org-mode's `org-yank' command is used as a replacement for the normal
`yank' command. It differs by giving special treatment to subtrees or
sets of subtrees when yanking them, by adjusting the level to fit the
outline, and by folding the trees after the yank.
This patch does fine-tune this behavior.
First of all, if any prefix argument is given to the command, it
immediately hands over the action to the standard `yank' command. In
particular, you can use `C-u C-y' to yank as-is, with the only minor
side effect that the cursor will end up at the beginning of the yanked
text.
Secondly, the folding of the yanked trees will only happen if there is
no text directly after the insertion point that would be swallowed by
the folding process. This was confusing in the past and is much
better now, with a message announcing that folding has been
suppressed.

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.
The refile command allows to move a subtree to under some other
heading, in the current file or even in a different file.
Sometimes one has a number of sibling subtrees that should all be
refiled to the same location. This patch implements a simplification
for this process. You can mark the region of subtrees (using
transient-mark-mode in required for this) and then move them all with
a single command.
Org-mode produces summaries of clocked items in the form of Org-mode
tables. This patch implements the possibility to define formulas that
should be applied to the clock tables, in order to do additional
analysis.
Formulas for clock tables are supported in two ways.
First, a formula can simply be added by hand to a table. Part of this
patch makes sure that, when the previous version of the table contains
a #+TBLFM: line, it will be copied to the new version.
Secondly, the clocktable definition allows a new parameter
`:formula'. The string value of this parameter will be installed as
the formula line for the table. If a formula parameter is given, it
will overrule any previous formula line.
As a special case, using the symbol `%' as the formula will install a
formula that will compute the fraction of total time that was spent in
a subtree.
In both cases, the formulas will be immediately evaluated after the
table has been created.
Bernt Hansen recently reported that occasionally he got a newline
included with property values returned by `org-entry-get'. While the
reason for this is not understood (maybe some dark mingling with
character syntax), these new regexps are explicit about what they
interpret as a non-white character and therefore should make this
matching safer.
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.
These are changes that where made in the Emacs CVS.
The change in org-publish is not final, it is still being
discussed - however, the current change should make it possible
to compile and run the code with the latest CVS version of Emacs.
When org-yank inserts a subtree, it moves the cursor to the headline
after the yank. A structural bug in the `org-yank' function did cause
this motion also to happen after a normal yank. Fixed now.
Matthew Lovell found that VM messages are only displayed reliably upon
following a link, when the function `vm-preview-current-message' is
called instead of `vm-beginning-of-message'. This patch implements
this change.
Links in the standard form [[link][description]] are allowed to have
brackets in them when these are escapes %5B and %5D. Creating links
through the Org link interface automatically does this conversion.
However, as noticed by Paul R, there is a bug when actually following
such links, when the link will be cut off at the first closing bracket
in the link.
This patch fixes this problem by adjusting the appropriate regexp.
This patch introduces two new functions in org-attach.el,
`org-attach-expand', and `org-attach-expand-link'. Both take a file
name as an argument, assume that this file is an attachment of the
current entry, and return the full path to this file or a
"file:..." link to it, respectively.
With these functions, it becomes very easy to use link abbreviations
to create a new link type to attachments:
After
(setq org-link-abbrev-alist '(("att" . org-attach-expand-link)))
links like [[att:file.txt]] will work.
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.
Org-mode uses a special setup with a number of different customization
variables to specify how a file should be opened when following a
:file:..." link with `C-c C-o'. By using a `C-u' prefix, it was
possible to overrule the customized setup and to force opening the
file in Emacs.
Samuel Wales requested to amend this process, so that a double prefix
argument would do the opposite: force opening the application *outside*
of Emacs, using a system default application. This is what this patch
implements.
Internally this works through a new entry in system specific constants
`org-file-apps-defaults-gnu', org-file-apps-defaults-macosx', and
`org-file-apps-defaults-windowsnt'. The new entry has the car
`system' and specifies the command that should be used for the double
C-u calls. As before, the user option `org-file-apps' can overrule
these default settings.
Note that all this only applies to following "file:" links, and does
not make a difference for, for example, "http:" links.
This is a bug fix. When the option `org-link-file-path-type' has the
value `adaptive', absolute file names would not be abbreviated if they
are relative to the users home directory. For any other values of
this variable except `noabbrev', absolute links are in fact
abbreviated, so the previous behavior is an inconsistency,
as noticed by Matt Lundin.
This patch fixes this problem and makes sure that also in this case,
file names are abbreviated.
Finally, the patch also fixes a structural bug that would ignore
the double C-u prefix if it was given.
When the cursor is at the end of the buffer but not at the beginning
of a line, inserting a new headline with C-RET did insert the stars
into the last line, without adding the needed newline. The new line
is now added.
Link descriptions where so far exported literally. However, really
they need to escape special characters and have TeX-like macros

This patch makes sure link descriptions are passed through a new
filter, `org-export-html-format-desc' which does just that.
This fix is a follow-up to a report by Sebastian Rose.
So far, Org used either `fit-window-to-buffer' or
`shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer' without any further checks when
displaying one of its many help and selection buffers. This can cause
problems if the user has set up Emacs to split windows horizontally
rather than vertically, because the window being shrunken then may be
side-by-side with another window, and shrinking the height of one will
also change the other.
With this patch, shrinking a window always goes through the new
function `org-fit-window-to-buffer' which only acts if the current
window spans the whole width of the frame.
Furthermore, this function also helps with compatibility, because it
falls back to `shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer' if
`fit-window-to-buffer' does not exist, as is the case on older version
of Emacs and XEmacs.
field (or in any other attribute value) must be written as "&" in
order to be valid XHMTL. This patch implements a new filter function
through which every href value is passed, and which enforces this
standard.
This is was triggered by a report by Sebastian Rose.
When marking a repeated entry DONE in the daily or weekly agenda, that
task would previously still be shown as TODO, because the repeater
immediately restores the TODO state after moving the time stamp. This
is bad feedback.
This problem was hard to fix. Because the same line may be present in
other lines in the same weekly agenda, we cannot simply update all
lines related to this entry.
What we do now is this: Before the repeater does its work in shifting
the time stamp and resetting the TODO keyword, we take a snapshot of
the headline as it looks then. And then, when we update the agenda
view, we change only the line at the cursor instead of all lines
related to this entry. We also make sure that this is only so if the
cursor is in a daily/weekly agenda, on TODAY's date.
There still remain possible inconsistencies. For example, if you have
a daily repeating task in the weekly agenda, and you move the cursor a
few days into the future and mark it DONE there, the entry will
actually be marked DONE for today, but still show up in today's task
list as TODO. refreshing the agenda will fix the display in such an
unlikely case.
Thanks to Jack ??? for noticing and reporting this issue.
The index generation of org-publish does briefly visit all files in
order to extract the correct page title. Visiting is necessary,
because the title may be set by the first line in the buffer, by a
Before this patch, this would cause the generation of a large number
of buffers, one for each file mentioned in the index. This patch
arranges for these buffers to be removed again. However, buffers
which were already present will not be removed.
There is still one open problem: The files to be published are
visited twice, one for publishing them, a second time for creating the
index. Visiting causes some overhead, and we would like to limit this
overhead. For now, however, this is not done.
Org-mode does sometimes included CSS definitions directly
into an exported XHTML file. To pass validation tests
for XHTML, these sections need to be wrapped in
order to pass as CDATA, not PCDATA. This patch
(written by Sebastian Rose) does implement this change.
It also fixes some typos.

If I understand you correctly, then what we want to expose is the
"timefmt" that is put into the data file and then passed to gnuplot.
The following patch is a complete one against current which adds this
(it works for me, at least), and documents the new +PLOT option
behavior.
The one thing I'm not sure about is my method of passing the timefmt
parameter all the way into the temp file creation function. I made a
buffer-local variable there to do it. That seemed the least intrusive
way to accomplish this, but it seemed like poor practice. Thoughts?
You know, I really ought to allow a person to customize this variable (I
mean, using customize).

Changes in origin/master
Modified doc/org.texi
This function only does its job if no side-by-side
window would be affected as well. Also, if
fit-window-to-buffer is not defined, use
shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer instead.
When yanking a cut/copied subtree or a series of trees, even
the nomal yank key `C-y' does now adjust the level of the tree
to make it fit into the current outline position, without
loosing its identity, and without swallowing other subtrees.
This uses the command `org-past-subtree'. An additional
change in that command has been implemented: Normally, this
command picks the right outline level from the surrounding
*visible* headlines, and uses the smaller on. So it the
cursor is between a level 4 and a level 3 headline, the tree
will be pasted as level 3. Now, if the cursor is actually
*at* the beginning of a headline, the level of that headline
will be used. So lets say you have a tree like this:
* Level one
** Level two
(1)
(2)* Level one again
with (1) and (2) indicating possible cursor positions for the
insertion. When at (1), the tree will be pasted as level 2.
When at (2), it will be pasted as level 1.
If you do not like `C-y' to behave like this, configure the
variable `org-yank-adjusted-subtrees'.
Thanks to Samuel Wales for this idea and a partial implementation.
Clock-related data are saved when exiting emacs ands restored when emacs
is restarted. The data saved include the contents of `org-clock-history',
and the running clock, if there is one.
To use this, you will need to add
(require 'org-clock)
(org-clock-persistence-insinuate)
to your .emacs and either add
(setq org-clock-persist t)
(setq org-clock-in-resume t)
or set those options to t in custom.
This patch requires the clock resume patch.
Add missing blank line to changelog
Allow org-clock-in-switch-to-state to be a function. This lets you have
different clocked in states for different TODO keyword sets, for example
(defun ahkt-clock-state (state)
(cond ((string= state "TOREAD") "READING")
((string= state "TOWATCH") "WATCHING")
(t state)))
Also fix indentation on clock lines, and empty clock drawers when they are
inserted.
C-c C-c still works with the cursor in a headline,
but I wanted a special binding as the default, mainly
in order to be able to set tags in a remember buffer.
The new default asks to open all those files in Emacs, for which
`auto-mode-alist' does contain an entry. The reasoning is that
Org-mode users are Emacs users and probably like to use exactly
this setup. The only exception configured as such by default is
that files with html or xhtml extensions will be opened using
the system default, most likely a browser.
