All export commands now push the result to the kill ring by default.
This is subject to the variable `org-export-push-to-kill-ring'.
Also, this commit adds a new variable
`org-export-show-temporary-export-buffer' which can be used to turn
off the display of the temporary buffer containing the exported text.
Since this stuff is now automatically pushed onto the kill ring, some
people might prefer not to see this buffer.

Setting the new option `org-hierarchical-todo-statistics' to nil will
make TODO statistics to be computed recursively. This means, not only
the direct children of a node contribute to its TODO statistics, but
the entire subtree.
You can also set the COOKIE_DATA property and add the word "recursive"
there to get recursive statistics for a specific tree.
Publishing a project with prefix argument to
force publishing was broken. Actually, the entire interactive side of
this function was implemented badly. Fixed now.

The better approach is clearly to allow several buffers, now
implemented with this commit.

This bug was due to a missing save-match-data around a call to
org-get-tags-at. However, when studying this bug it turned out
that explicitly checking for the archive tag is not needed,
because we already have a call to `org-agenda-skip' in the same
loop.

He is right. Progress lines should never take their
time from the headline, always only from the triggering line.

This commit applies Beanjamin's patch
There is now a new export function, `org-export-as-org', which
basically creates a copy of the Org file with things like archived
trees, commented trees, and trees deselected by export tags,
stripped.
This commit adds:
{{{date(FORMAT)}}} current date/time, formatted with
`format-time-string'
{{{modification-time(FORMAT)}}} date/time of last modification of
file, formatted with `format-time-string'
{{{input-file}}} the file name of the source Org file.

This commit implements this, when the value of
`org-icalendar-include-todo' is the symbol `unblocked'.
The commit implements a general mechanism for providing special
(e.g. completion) support for specific link types when entering links
with `C-c C-l'. After calling `C-c C-l', you may now press RET after
inserting a link prefix, and Org will look for a function
`org-PREFIX-complete-link'. Such functions may be defined for any
link types, including link abbreviations. Currently, Org has
`org-file-complete-link' for file name completion, and
`org-bbdb-complete-link' for completion of record names from BBDB.

There was indeed a bug, I think it is fixed now.

This was a bug, fixed now.
Editing source code examples and pictures is not done in a truly
separate buffer, not in an indirect buffer. Indirect buffers had
caused problems with fontification, for example.

It is actually the correct way to do this, and I have
implemented this change.

There is now, `C-c C-e A'.
This commit also implements commands
- org-export-as-ascii-to-buffer
- org-replace-region-by-ascii
- org-export-region-as-ascii
which are similar to what is available for HTML and LaTeX.
`C-c C-e A' used to be the key for publishing all projects.
This functionality has now been moved to `C-c C-e E'.

This situation is now avoided by forcing the selection of a valid
template.

This is hopefully fixed now.

Chris Gray had the idea to have arbitrary blocks turned in LaTeX
environments and HTML divs. These three new hooks allow
implementation has an add-on rather than a patch.

There is now a better error message when either the latex or the
dvipng program does not exist.

This commit adds a new option
`org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry'. When set
to t, an entry that has multiple active time stamps will get
multiple lines in the agenda.
