RefTeX can now be used to create a citation in Org-mode buffers.
Setup the buffer with #+BIBLIOGRAPHY: bibbase style
and create citations with `C-c C-x ['.
The new variable `org-agenda-cmp-user-defined' can contain a function
to test how two entries should be compared during sorting.
user-defined-up and user-defined-down can then be part of any sorting
strategy.

Patch by Chris fixes this problem.
The new variable `org-agenda-search-headline-for-time' also turned off
time searching for diary items as an unwanted side-effect. This
commit makes sure that diary entries are always parsed for a time.

This is indeed a bug. The all to `org-get-tags-at' does change the
match data if there is a match for the inheritance regexp. This
problem is now avoided by first extracting (match-string 1), and then
getting the tags.
Studying this bug also exposed another one, namely that file tags are
not marked as inherited tags. This is now fixed, immediately when
the #+FILETAGS line is parsed.

This was caused by the fact that markers seem to point to the
base buffer always, so we need to check if the current buffer's
base buffer is equal to the marker buffer.

org-mac-message.el now contains these new functions.
When setting the variable `org-remember-back-directory', each
remember buffer created will now get its own unique file name in that
directory. So if you, by accident, overwrite a remember buffer or
remove it before storing it, there will be a backup.
Items are listed in the agenda sometimes in bright colors, to draw
attention to important tasks or deadlines. When such an item is
switched to DONE, the state change is reflected by the new TODO
keyword, but the line itself might still be bright. Org de-emphasizes
the line by changing the face of the line. It used to change it to
the face `org-done', but now we use a new, independent face
`org-agenda-done'.
When a tags/property match does match an entry and its sublevels, the
sublevels used to be indented by dots, to indicate that the matches
likely result from tag inheritance. This is now no longer the
default, but you can get it back with
(setq org-tags-match-list-sublevels 'indented)

Fixed with this commit, a patch written by Peter Jones.
Outline levels below the headline boundary are now treated better, as
proper list. The variable `org-export-latex-low-levels' can now also
be `itemize' or `enumerate', to get the corresponding list structure.
The new default is `itemize', to make it parallel with the behavior in
HTML.
When exporting to a temporary buffer, images to replace LaTeX
fragments cannot be produced, because there is no useful location
where they can be put. Therefore, these images are not produced in
this case.
This commit implements an important change: When, during a
stuck-project search, a project tree is identified as not stuck, so
far the search would continue after the end of the project tree. From
now on, the search continues in the subtree, so that stuck subprojects
can still be identified.
In verse environments, line breaks are now enforced both in LaTeX and
in HTML. Centering is now implemented using a div rather than a
paragraph, so that there may be several paragraphs in the centering
environment. Blockquotes now also may have several paragraphs.
When a note is taken, the new drawer is created before the note is
taken. Now the drawer is removed again if the note gets aborted and
if the drawer is empty.

This is in fact how changing time works in many applications, and
it does make sense here as well. The commits implements this
change.
It also implements a way to change the start time of an entry from
the agenda. The date is normally changed with S-right/left.
Now, if you add a C-u prefix, the hour will be changed. If you
immediately press S-right/left again, hours will continue to be
changed.
A double prefix will do the same for minutes.
If a link is [[#name][desc]], the href wil be exacty href="#name".
So starting a link target with # will indicate that there will be an
explicit target for this.

Yes, this is a bug that occurs in the special case when the
heading stars are inserted in front of an existing line. The
commit adds code to make sure the correct position is used.
The default for the sitemap file was "index.org" which is really
terrible because it will overwrite the index.html file. Now the
default is "sitemap.org".

This commit is the patch Adam sent in.
Message-mode assigns auto-safe file names to temporary buffers, in the
draft directory. This causes problems when running message-mode in a
temporary buffer with with-temp-buffer. When the form tries to kill
the buffer, is asks for saving it....
This commit turns off the buffer-modified flag and so avoids the
query.
Patch by Nick Dokos.
Running a command that would use the tag scanner could suffer a large
slow-down when many entries match, because the tag list with
inheritance forces each matching entry to walk the hierarchy.
Now, it is possible to avoid this penalty by using the variable
`org-scanner-tags', or by binding the `org-trust-scanner-tags' to t
around calls to `org-get-tags-at' and `org-entry-properties' when
retrieving tags and properties for the current entry in the
scanner/mapper.
An agenda item carries a full list of tags. The list must normally be
made, but not during a tags scan. So now the tags scan does pass on
its list instead, which should make things faster.

This commit fixes the bug.
Custom commands can now bind `org-agenda-filter-preset'. This filter
will then be present in the agenda view and persist through refresh
and further filtering. Only a new agenda command will remove the
filter again.
uuidgen ids may start with a number and therefore are not valid names
in HTML. Therefore we now use and "ID-" prefix for such IDs when
exporting to HTML.
The variable org-priority-faces can now be used to set special faces
for different priority cookies.
Also, in the agenda, the default is now to fontify only the priority
cookie, not the entire task. See the variable
`org-agenda-fontify-priorities'.
Before, the bibliography will exist inside the outline structure, as
part of the last section. This commit adds code to find it, cut it
out, and move it to a better location.
Before this patch, org-agenda-quit would delete the agenda window if
the frame had more than one window. This patch changes that behavior
slightly so that if org-agenda-window-setup is 'current-window, the
agenda window won't be deleted.
Org erroneously filed top-level headings as level 2, because it
assumes that if should file below some heading. However, if there is
no heading to file under, this should be turned off.
Patch by igrekster.
When inserting new list entries, sometime empty lines will be
inserted automatically. This, however, makes only sense if empty
lines do not terminate the list, as configured by
`org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
This commit makes sure that, if
`org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists' is set, automatic empty lines
will never be inserted.

This was caused by an attempt of the publishing code to always find
the top enclosing project. While this makes sense when publishing a
project, for a single file we want just the smallest enclosing
project. This commit makes sure that this difference is treated
correctly.
A new hook is introduced, `org-agenda-before-write-hook'.
A function that ca be added to this hook is
`org-agenda-add-entry-text'. When this is done, each of the entries
shown in the agenda is amended with text that in the original buffer
is part of the entry text below the headline. Drawers are not copied,
and also the line with scheduling and deadline information is not
used. Finally, the number of ines to be added is imited by
`org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines'.
Links with description not create a note before the next headline that
contains the link. In the text, the description will be shown.
The new variable `org-export-ascii-links-to-notes' can be configured
to turn off this behavior, then the reference will be inserted inline
in the text. If the line becomes too long because of this, it will
be wrapped.
If the headline contains a time-of-day in one format or another, it
will be used to sort the entry into the time sequence of items for a
day. Some people have time stamps in the headline that refer to the
creation time or so, and then this produces an unwanted side effect.
If this is the case for your, use the new option
`org-agenda-search-headline-for-time' to turn off searching the
headline for a time.
Undo will now remove up to 20 characters typed consecutively, just
like Emacs normally does. We need a special implementation for this
because Org has its own self-insert command.
The code for doing this is a patch by Martin Pohlack.

This is a reasonable request, and this commit implements it.
To have separate values, set org-special-ctrl-a/e to a cons
cell with the setting for C-a in the car and the setting for
C-e in the cdr.
This commit fixes the bug discussed in:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/11106
The reason for the empty line being inserted is subtle:
The function `org-add-planning-info' is used to add and remove planning
info time stamps (deadline, scheduled, closed) from the second line in
an entry. Usually, the function is called to add something, with an
optional argument to also remove something. In doing so, it assumes
that the second line must be there, and if it is not there, it creates
it.
Now, sometimes `org-add-planning-info' is called only to remove a time
stamp. In this particular case it was to remove the CLOSED time
stamp. This happens when the state is changed from a DONE or nil
state to a not-done state. The idea behind this is that maybe to
entry was marked earlier as DONE, but the user has changed his mind,
so the timestamp recording when it was finished should be removed.
So in this case, an empty line was created, assuming that there would
be something to add - only nothing was added.
This commit arranges for checking if there is something to add before
creating an empty line.
orgstruct++-mode is an enhanced version of orgstruct mode that
also imports all indentation and paragraph settings into the major
mode. Furthermore, it now allows to use M-RET and M-S-RET in items
after the first line. The latter change was a request by Austin
Frank.
The new command `org-reload' allows to reload all Org lisp files.
By default it will load compiled files if these are available. If
not, or when called with a C-u prefix argument, uncompiled code will
be loaded. This is good for producing a meaningful backtrace when an
error occurs.
Like TODO keywords before, now also tags each get their own CSS class,
given by the tag itself. Invalid characters in tags are all replaced
by "_" to make sure the resulting HTML remains valid.
Two new variables can be used to add a prefix to the class names for
TODO keywords and tags.

OK, I removed those two fields, and I switched things around so that
the new macros are defined earlier.
Since we now have org-use-fast-todo-selection set by default,
there is no reason for special treatment of the prefix argument
anymore.
Reported by Wanrong Lin.
Org has a number of places where the value read by completing-read may
contains spaces. For these occasions, the space character needs to be
a normal character.
The recent support for ido.el invalidated these special cases because
ido has its own way of dealing with spaces.
This commit now makes sure that ido is off for the critical cases
where completion must allow spaces.
This commit implements the possibility to import the in-buffer export
options as TeX macros, like \orgTITLE, \orgAUTHOR etc.

I agree with this view and the commit implements exactly this.
(org-indent-line-function): Make sure this works even if there is not
`org-drawer-regexp' defined. This can happen when orgstruct-mode is
used in a non-org buffer.
This commit makes it possible to force new lines and even empty lines
in the fast tag selection interface, either by splitting tags
definition into several lines, or by inserting "\n" into the tags
list, or by inserting (:newline) into the tags alist.
This is largely a patch from Christopher Suckling
The variables `org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines' and
`org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date, and
`org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options' are now all mentioned in
the docs.
The commands org-agenda-show can now be used to show varying degrees of
context when called with a prefix argument. `0 SPC', `1 SPC', ... `4
SPC'.
The new command `org-agenda-cycle-show' shows different amounts of
context when called several times in succession.
Christopher Suckling reports that todo state sorting doe not work in
block agenda. The reason for this that the variable
`org-todo-keywords-for-agenda' which is supposed to be a lost of all
keywords of all buffers contributing to the agenda, is not correct
during the construction of a block agenda.
Therefore, this commit instructs the todo state comparison function to
refer back to the original buffer for a list of todo keywords.
Clock lines are now by default captured into the drawer LOGBOOK. This
means that, if state notes are also captured into a drawer, they will
be mixed with notes.
Org-mode has many context-sensitive keys. A new hook system now
allows add-ons to add functionality to these keys for contexts that
are special for the add-on.
For example, if an add-on wants to use C-c C-c in a special context,
if must add a function to `org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-hook' that will check for
the context and run its command when the context is present.
Wanrong Lin writes:
2. Can we put all of those state change history logging messages
into a drawer like "STATE-HIST" (when the drawer is defined in

Yes we can. This commit provides this functionality. It introduces a
new drawer, LOGBOOK. When the variable
`org-log-state-notes-into-drawer' is set, state change time stamps and
notes will go into this drawer, or another one specified by that
variable.
When the variable org-log-states-order-reversed was nil, so that notes
would be appended to the list of notes, the indentation of the item
was wrong. This commit fixes the problem.
Wanrong Lin writes:
Right now in the HTML export the TODO keywords have either
class="todo", or class="done". That loses all the face properties
in the original TODO keywords. I think the TODO keywords faces are
important visual aids to differentiate different types of TODO
items, so I just wonder whether it is possible to keep the faces
in the HTML.
This makes sense. This commit adds, to each TODO keyword, an
additional class named after the keyword. For example:
<span class="todo WAITING">WAITING</span>
So each todo keyword gets class "todo" or "done" depending on which
general type it is. And in addition it gets itself as class.
So go to your CSS file and configure like this:
.todo { font-weight:bold; }
.done { font-weight:bold; }
.TODO { color:red; }
.WAITING { color:orange; }
.DONE { color:green; }
Thanks to Sebastian Rose for the multiple-classes trick.

My TODO sequence is set up as following:

"DEFERRED(d!/!)" "HOLD(h!/!)" "|" "DONE(x)" "CANCELED(c)")))
The state change logging is great, but I wonder whether we can
further improve it:
1. Can we also include the original state in the log message?
i.e.: instead of having - State "DEFERRED" [2009-02-11 Wed 11:38]
we can have
- State "DEFERRED" from "HOLD" [2009-02-11 Wed 11:38]
The message will be clearer, and useful even when somebody edited
the TODO keyword in place without using the "org-todo" command
(in that case, simply looking at all the "destination states" in
the log message does not give us the right information).
This strikes me like a good idea, so I have implemented it with this
commit.
Consider a file with 2 lines:
------------------
**** heading
------------------
Place the cursor at line 2 (where you can type). Then use C-c C-x C-i
to start a clock.
You have now 3 lines:
------------------
**** heading
CLOCK: [2009-02-07 sb 01:06]
------------------
However, the cursor is still placed at line 2, like before. I think
it would be more useful if it were moved to line 3 so that you can
start writing right away, just as before. This saves you the C-n
needed to move again to a blank line.
This commit implements exactly this request.
Daniel Clemente noticed that the clock drawer, when it is created for
the second clock entry, will swallow a plain list item after it,
because it thinks it might be a clock note.
This commit makes this function check for indentation. If the plain
list item is indented less than the last clock line, it will be
assumed that it does not belong to the clocking line, and the drawer
will not swallow the item.
Now any line like
#+XYZ_TODO:
will be assumed to define some kind of TODO chain. If the handlers in
`org-todo-setup-filter-hook' do not do anything with this sequence, it
will be treated as `sequence'.

all heading levels be relative to the root of the sub-tree. Is

This was not possible so far, but this commit measures the first
headline of the subtree and applies an offset to all level values.

I can't sort the table by that column. If I change the dates to

Yes, intentional, because the same routine also does sorting of

Whatever week I put in :block, it puts one less in the title. It
seems actually gather the clock data from the right week, but the
title is wrong? Or I misunderstand something as usual :-).
There was a problem wit the week starting date.
A user setting of
(setq org-show-entry-below t)
could overrule a visibility property with value FOLDED. This commit
fixes this by turning off the above setting for the context of setting
startup visibility.
I have changed my mind and turned off shift-selection support again by
default, because it causes confusing behavior, sometimes calling an Org
command and sometimes doing shift selection. The default behavior is
now:
- in special contexts, execute Org commands
- outside special contexts, create an error that will point users to
configure the variable `org-support-shift-select'. Hopefully that
will make them read the docstring and then decide for themselves
what to do.
Emacs 23 introduces `shift-selection-mode', and even turns it on by
default. Therefore, it is fair to assume that users of Emacs 23 will
expect to be able to select a region by holding down shift will moving
the cursor. This conflicts with the use of shifted cursor keys in
Org-mode for other purposes, in particular to "change the item under
the cursor", like it is done for time stamps, item bullet types, TODO
keywords and priorities.
This commit tries to support `shift-selection-mode' as much as possible,
while retaining these valuable commands keys for Org-mode. The
following things are changed:
1. The range of contexts where Org's commands do act is reduced.
- S-up and S-down no longer jump to the previous and next plain list
item - you can use the paragraph commands C-up and C-down for this
quite well.
- S-left and S-right only change the bullet type of a plain list
item when the cursor is *exactly* on the bullet, not just anywhere
in the item line.
2. When a S-cursor key is used outside a special context, a region is
started or extended.
3. When a region has already been started, it will be continue to
extend even if the S-cursor keys move the cursor into a special
context.
4. If you want S-cursor selection to work in headlines as well, you
can set the variable `org-support-shift-select' to
`even-in-headlines'. Then you need to rely on `C-c C-t' to set
TODO keywords, and on `C-c ,' to set priorities.
If you want everything to behave the way it was, set
`org-support-shift-select' to nil.
There were two bugs:
1. Timestamp processing did not honor the setting of
`org-export-with-timestamps' in the text before the first
headline.
2. When `org-export-with-timestamps' was nil, time stamps were removed
even in tables. I think this is incorrect, so in tables, time
stamps are now never removed.
The variables =org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date=,
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date=, and
=org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date= make it possible to
exclude TODO entries which have this kind of planning info
associated with them. This is most useful for people who
schedule everything, and who use the TODO list mainly to find
things that are not yet scheduled. Thomas Morgan pointed out
that also the tags-todo search may serve exactly this
purpose, and that it might be good to have a way to make
these variables also apply to the tags-todo search. I can
see than, but could not convince myself to make this the
default. A new variable must be set to make this happen:
=org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options=.
