Good idea, I would say.
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.
This commit changes which time is shown in the mode line while
clocking. Normally this will now be the total time ever clocked on
this task and its children.
However, when the task is a repeating one, only the time since the
last reset of the task will be shown. The time of the last reset is
now recorded in a LAST_REPEAT property.
You can also set the CLOCK_MODELINE_TOTAL property to the value
"current" to only show the current clocking instance. Or it may be
the value "today", to only add up the time spent today on this task.
Other possible values are "repeat", "all", or "auto".
Finally, you can set your default for this property with
`org-clock-modeline-total'.
This commit introduces two new variables:
- org-treat-insert-todo-heading-as-state-change
Default is nil. When set to t, adding a new TODO item will be done
by adding an item and the executing an "official" state change which
potentially will trigger state logging.
- org-treat-S-cursor-todo-seletion-as-state-change
Default is t. When set to nil, selecting a TODO state with
S-left/right will not trigger logging, only selecting a new state
with `C-c C-t'. I actually like this a lot and would even consider
making this the default.

The better approach is clearly to allow several buffers, now
implemented with this commit.
There is now a new export function, `org-export-as-org', which
basically creates a copy of the Org file with things like archived
trees, commented trees, and trees deselected by export tags,
stripped.
This commit adds:
{{{date(FORMAT)}}} current date/time, formatted with
`format-time-string'
{{{modification-time(FORMAT)}}} date/time of last modification of
file, formatted with `format-time-string'
{{{input-file}}} the file name of the source Org file.
The commit implements a general mechanism for providing special
(e.g. completion) support for specific link types when entering links
with `C-c C-l'. After calling `C-c C-l', you may now press RET after
inserting a link prefix, and Org will look for a function
`org-PREFIX-complete-link'. Such functions may be defined for any
link types, including link abbreviations. Currently, Org has
`org-file-complete-link' for file name completion, and
`org-bbdb-complete-link' for completion of record names from BBDB.

It is actually the correct way to do this, and I have
implemented this change.

There is now, `C-c C-e A'.
This commit also implements commands
- org-export-as-ascii-to-buffer
- org-replace-region-by-ascii
- org-export-region-as-ascii
which are similar to what is available for HTML and LaTeX.
`C-c C-e A' used to be the key for publishing all projects.
This functionality has now been moved to `C-c C-e E'.
The variable `org-refile-target-verify-function' can be set to a
function that will be called to verify a refile target. The function
must return t if the target is valid.
When refiling, you can now create new parent nodes on the fly. To do
this, set the variable `org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes' to
`confirm'. Then, at a refiling prompt, proceed with completion until
you have an existing heading, and then add "/new heading", i.e. a
slash followed by the new heading. That heading will be created as a
child of the existing heading, and the entry to be refiled will end up
under that new heading.
New wrapper span around keyword plus time stamp, with class
timestamp-wrapper.
.timestamp-wrapper {float: right;}
could be a nice entry in a CSS style file.
Mapping call a function for each matching entry. So far this has
always assumed that the entry stays in the buffer and search can
continue from there. However, when the mapper function removes the
tree, more control is needed to specify from where the search should
continue.
The action function handed to the mapping function can now set the
variable `org-map-continue-from' to the position from where mapping
should continue.
