This commit sets up such a variable, and also a hook.

The category can contain a bracket link. This commit makes sure that
the prefix in the agenda looks OK if there is a link, and that the
link is accessible with `C-c C-o 0'.

There was an issue that lines starting with a space followed by #
would be protected when importing the file, but not unprotected when
formatting the example. The reason for this issue is that we recently
changed to protect indented #+ lines.

Indeed, and this commit pops `org-table-last-alignment' if the first
column has been removed by `org-table-clean-before-export'. The same
problem must have caused a one-off error when setting the alignment in
LaTeX tables, bu it seems nobody has noticed this so far. Anyway,
also this is fixed now.

The new keys are b and f. This used to be on the cursor keys, but
they do now again do cursor motion.
This is a significant change in the UI, I hope this will not cause too
many problems.

`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.
Use `gnus-summary-article-header' function when in gnus-summary-mode.
This way the article doesn't get displayed unnecessarily. We don't use
this function in the gnus-article-mode because it is not reliable.
Thanks to Leo for this suggestion.

This bug was caused by commit
8c177dc832, and reported by Matt
Lundin. The problem was that this commit tried to remove the text
propertes of the MATCH part of an agenda command. However, in block
commands, the MATCH part is not a string.
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.
A `save-excursion' around a call to org-table-align make point end up
*before* the table. The reason is that a table align replaces the
entire table, including the newline before it. When the table is
removed in order to be replaced, the marker created by
`save-excursion' slips. `org-table-align' has it's own, built-in
`save-excursion' by remembering the line and column where the cursor
was before the align.
However, if you are using arguments, it is required that the opening
parenthesis is attached to the macro name, and that the closing
parenthesis is attached to the three closing braces.
New variable `org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown' to avoid
that a entry shows up in the agenda for today for both a scheduling
and a deadline entry. See the docstring of the variables for more
details.

Indeed the happens because, when a parent gets refiled or
achieved, any entries corresponding to its children are
removed from the agenda.
We address this issue by
- sorting the markers, to make sure parents will be handled
before children
- No longer throwing an error when a bulk action entry no
longer is present in the agenda - most likely it was taken
care of together with its parent.

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.
Gregory Grubbs writes:
I like to make org-mode tables in arbitrary buffers, then
save them as CVS files. The export fails when done from a
buffer with no associated file.
Here's a little patch that allows exporting a table from
any buffer (org-mode version 6.28trans):
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.

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.
A relative row reference like @-1 in a table may now reach across a
horizontal separator line. I hope this will not break any important
tables out there, but I think it is the right thing to do.
The original reason for not-crossing was to implement running
averages of one column in the next. This can now be done using field
formulas near the beginning and end of the column, and a column
formula for the central part.
See the variable `org-table-relative-ref-may-cross-hline' for more
details.
Emacs recently (when?) changed the abbreviated format for days.
The clock was confused when trying to mach this format. This patch
by Nicolas Goaziou fixes it.

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.
Using :timetamp t as an option in a clock report now allows
insertion of the timestamp for the clocked entry. Timestamps
are searched for in this order: SCHEDULING, TIMESTAMP, DEADLINE
and TIMESTAMP_IA.
Allow whitespace in code references. Allow the -r switch to remove the
references in the source code even when the lines are not numbered: the
labels can be explicit enough. Note that "-r -k" is the same than no
switch - as expected.
Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for bring this up.
