Aloha all,
The attached patch changes the link to the languages supported by babel
from a directory listing to the Worg page that uses a table to link to
the language-specific documentation pages. It was suggested by John
Hendy.
All the best,
Tom

Subject: [PATCH] Changed babel languages link following a suggestion by John
Hendy
* org-clock.el (org-clocktable-defaults): Revert extra layer of quoting.
It appears the goal in 9b23f082 was to allow defaulting a plist member
to a variable; however the plist was being constructed with LIST and
therefore the `, combination was unnecessary.
TINYCHANGE
* org.el (org-time-stamp): With two universal arguments,
insert an active timestamp with the current time without
prompting the user.
This idea came up on the list, I can't recall who proposed this.
Thanks to him anyway!
* org-clock.el (org-clock-in-last): New command.
This autoloaded command provides a way to clock in the last clocked
item stored in `org-clock-history' from any buffer. This is handy
when you don't want to go back to your .org file to clock into the
last clocked task.
The attached patch fixes a typo in the documentation.
I hope I got the format of the commit message right.
Best regards,
Jan

Subject: [PATCH] org.texi: fix typo
* doc/org.texi (The spreadsheet): fix typo
* org-e-html.el (org-e-html-creator-string): New option.
(org-e-html-options-alist): Use it.
* org-export.el (org-export-creator-string): Don't use HTML
tags in the generic creator string.
Thanks to Nicolas for directions on what to change wrt this.
* lisp/org-mobile.el (org-mobile-edit): Added handling of
addheading, refile, archive, archive-sibling and delete edit nodes.
(org-mobile-locate-entry): olp links containing only a file are now be
located correctly.
(org-mobile-apply): Instead of finding the location of all target
headings for edit nodes in a separate loop, they will be found
immediately before applying edits.
org-mobile-apply needed to be changed, as the new edit nodes can
insert new headings or delete them, thereby changing the locations
of the target headings. Thanks to Aaron Peromsik for helping with
this patch.
* org.el (org-at-comment-p): New function.
(org-toggle-heading): Use `org-at-comment-p' to skip comments.
Thanks to Charlie Millar for raising this issue.
* org-html.el (org-export-as-html): Add links to the Org mode
and GNU Emacs websites When :html-postamble is set to 't.
* org-export.el (org-export-creator-string): Add links to the
Org mode and GNU Emacs websites.
* contrib/lisp/org-export.el (org-export-get-subtree-options): Add
a subtree property for each export option.
* testing/lisp/test-org-export.el: Add tests.
Properties names are obtained by adding "EXPORT_" prefix to buffer
keywords.
* contrib/lisp/org-element.el (org-element-affiliated-keywords):
Remove attributes keywords from the list since they are, de facto,
affiliated keywords.
(org-element-multiple-keywords): Remove "attr" keywords from the list
since they always belong to that list.
(org-element--affiliated-re, org-element-collect-affiliated-keywords,
org-element-interpret--affiliated-keywords): Handle special attr
keywords correctly.
