This lets you see how long has passed since the specified timestamp property
each entry. The three operators (@min, @max, @mean) show either the age of the
youngest or oldest entry or the average age of the children.

This bug resulted from a recent patch which made a prefix arg of 2 to
mean refile to the clock. However, I forgot to actually test the
value of the prefix arg...

Hmm, maybe the outline behavior of hide-subtree has changed???
Anyway, we now just use our own function for this.
The following keys now do archiving
C-c C-x C-a archive using the command specified in
`org-archive-default-command'
This variable is by default set to `org-archive-subtree', which means
arching to the archive file.
The three specific archiving commands are available through
C-c C-x C-s archive to archive file
C-c C-x a toggle the archive tag
C-c C-x A move to archive sibling
These bindings work the same in an Org file, and in the agenda.
In addition:
- In the agenda you can also use `a' to call the default archiving
command, but you need to confirm the command with `y' so that this
cannot easily happen by accident.
- For backward compatibility, `C-c $' in an org-mode file, and `$' in
the agenda buffer continue to archive to archive file.
org-habit.el: New file, which implements code to build a "habit
consistency graph".
org-agenda.el (org-agenda-get-deadlines)
(org-agenda-get-scheduled): Display consistency graphs when outputting
habits into the agenda. The graphs are always relative to the current
time.
(org-format-agenda-item): Added new parameter `habitp', which indicates
whether we are formatting a habit or not. Do not display "extra"
leading information if habitp is true.
(org-repeat-re): Improved regexp to include .+ and ++ leaders for repeat
strings.
(org-get-repeat): Now takes a string parameter `tagline', so the caller
can obtain the SCHEDULED repeat, or the DEADLINE repeat.
(org-clock-resolve-clock): New function that resolves a clock to a
specific time, closing or resuming as need be, and possibly even
starting a new clock.
(org-clock-resolve): New function used by `org-resolve-clocks' that sets
up for the call to `org-clock-resolve-clock'. It determines the time to
resolve to based on a single-character selection from the user to either
keep time, subtract away time or cancel the clock.
(org-resolve-clocks): New user command which resolves dangling clocks --
that is, open but not active -- anywhere in the file list returned by
`org-files-list'.
(org-clock-in): Automatically resolve dangling clocks whenever a user
clocks in.
(org-clock-cancel): If the user cancels the solely clock in a LOGBOOK,
remove the empty drawer.
(org-files-list): New utility function for returning a list of all open
org-mode buffers, plus all files used to build the agenda buffer. Note
that not all the files will necessarily be visited by a buffer at time
of call.
(org-entry-beginning-position): Like the function
`line-beginning-position', this inline function returns the beginning
position of the current heading/entry.
(org-entry-end-position): Like the function `line-end-position', this
inline function returns the end position of the current heading/entry.

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

When odd levels are being used, change the interpretation of a
numerical arg to S-TAB.

org.el (org-offer-links-in-entry): Don't use "Select link" as a prompt
in the temporary window.
org-agenda.el (org-agenda-bulk-mark): Use a slightly soberer prefix for
marked entries in the agenda view.
