This is now possible, but it is not the default. You need to set
(setq org-read-date-prefer-future 'time)

Indeed, a space before the caret was not allowed in LaTeX export

The new variable org-mobile-files can now be configured to include
non-agenda files into the staging area for MobileOrg. Furthermore,
files that are located in a subdirectory of `org-directory' will also
end up in a sub-directory in the staging area.

Many agenda commands split the current window, which is not allowed on
a frame containing a dedicated window.
Therefore, we now just kill the frame by hand when exiting the agenda.
priority
So far the headline had to match the one specified in the template
exactly, except for tags. Now a TODO keyword and a priority can be
added, and the headline will still be found.
