* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-to-appt): Make sure filter-items are
strings before calling `string-match'.
Now it's possible to use (org-agenda-to-appt t '((headline "string"))).
TINYCHANGE
* org-agenda.el (org-agenda-to-appt): Allow to refine the
scope of entries to pass to `org-agenda-get-day-entries' and
allow to filter out entries using a function.
Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
Tassilo Horn for this idea.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-search-view): Simplify regexp.
(org-agenda-get-todos): Use new format string.
* lisp/org-archive.el (org-archive-all-done): Simplify regexp.
* lisp/org-ascii.el (org-export-as-ascii): More accurate regexp.
* lisp/org-colview-xemacs.el (org-columns-capture-view): Use new
format string and new string.
* lisp/org-colview.el (org-columns-capture-view): Use new format
string and new string.
* lisp/org-docbook.el (org-export-as-docbook): More accurate
regexp. Also use new regexp to match generic headlines.
* lisp/org-exp.el (org-export-protect-quoted-subtrees): More accurate
regexp. Also use new regexp to match generic headlines.
* lisp/org-html.el (org-export-as-html): More accurate regexp. Also
use new regexp to match generic headlines.
* lisp/org-mouse.el (org-mouse-match-todo-keyword): Removed unused
and now erroneous function.
* lisp/org.el (org-heading-regexp, org-heading-keyword-regexp-format):
New variables.
(org-set-regexps-and-options): Create regexps according to the
following rule: use spaces only to separate elements from an headline,
while allowing mixed tabs and spaces for any indentation job.
(org-nl-done-regexp, org-looking-at-done-regexp): Removed variables.
(org-set-font-lock-defaults): Fontify again headlines with a keyword
and no other text. Use new format strings.
(org-get-heading, org-toggle-comment, org-prepare-agenda-buffers,
org-toggle-fixed-width-section): Use new format string.
(org-todo): More accurate regexps.
(org-point-at-end-of-empty-headline): Simplify regexp.
(org-insert-heading): Headline can sometimes be nil.
This patch attempts to reduce the number of hard-coded headlines, by
providing two format strings and one generic string to cover most of
the cases of headline construction.
* org.el (org-format-agenda-item, org-scan-tags): Rename
`org-format-agenda-item' to `org-agenda-format-item'.
* org-agenda.el (org-search-view)

(org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file): Rename
`org-format-agenda-item' to `org-agenda-format-item'.
Using the `org-agenda-' prefix makes more sense here.
Additionally, replace one
(or (org-mode-p) (derived-mode-p 'org-mode))
with
(derived-mode-p 'org-mode)
cause that is reflexive anyway (returns true, if the current mode is
org-mode).
Delete one check testing for org-mode or org derived mode
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-move-date-from-past-immediately-to-today):
New option.
(org-agenda-date-later): Improve the logical structure.
* doc/org.texi (Agenda commands): Document that S-right on a line
representing a past date will immediately shift that date to today.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-follow-indirect): New option.
(org-agenda-follow-mode): Call `org-agenda-do-context-action' fro
follow mode.
(org-agenda-do-context-action): Also do indirect follow mode action.
By setting `org-agenda-follow-indirect' to a non-nil value,
`org-agenda-follow-mode' will use an indirect buffer to display only
the current item, rather than the whole agenda file in which it lives

Funny enough, I noticed this too last week, so I whipped up this patch.
It inserts the range when start date is the same as the end date. Please
test (it's still young) && include in Org if you so please.

Subject: [PATCH] Show timestamp ranges in agenda
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-get-blocks): Show timestamp ranges in
agenda if start day is same as end day
* lisp/org.el (org-time-string-to-time):
(org-time-string-to-absolute): Add optional arguments BUFFER and POS
for error reporting.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-get-all-dates):
(org-agenda-get-timestamps):
(org-agenda-get-deadlines):
(org-agenda-get-scheduled):
(org-agenda-get-blocks): Call time stamp parsing functions with
information on where the timestamp was taken from.
* org-agenda.el (org-search-view, org-agenda-get-todos)
(org-agenda-get-deadlines, org-agenda-get-scheduled): Add
`category-pos' in let construct.
Thanks to Achim Gratz for spotting this.
* org-agenda.el (org-agenda-get-timestamps)
(org-agenda-get-sexps, org-agenda-get-progress): Correctly set
the `org-category-pos' property.
Thanks to Michael Brand for signaling this problem, and to Nick
Dokos and Erik Iverson for confirming it.
* org.el (org-refresh-category-properties): New text property
'org-category-position to point at the beginning of the
headline from which the category is set.
* org-agenda.el (org-search-view, org-agenda-get-todos)
(org-agenda-get-timestamps, org-agenda-get-sexps)
(org-agenda-get-progress, org-agenda-get-deadlines)
(org-agenda-get-scheduled, org-agenda-get-blocks)
(org-agenda-filter-by-tag-refine): Add the
'org-category-position text property.
This commit prepares for a future `org-agenda-set-category'
function allowing to set the category of the headline at point.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-include-all-todo): Declare this
option as no longer working.
(org-timeline): Rename the include-all argument to dotodo.
(org-arg-loc): Renamed from` org-include-all-loc'.
(org-agenda-list): Rename the INCLUDE-ALL argument to ARG, because its
function has changed.
Also remove blank lines before the ";;; org*el ends here" declarations.
Having a "Version" header forced us to update every file when releasing a
new version of Org; it also forced us to update every file when merging Org
with Emacs trunk, thus cluttering the diffs between the previously merged
version and the new one with useless information.
Glenn Morris suggested this in emacs-devel:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-08/msg00322.html
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-get-deadlines): Fix dfrac for the
case of wdays being 0. Don't pass wdays to org-agenda-deadline-face,
like before the old fix.
(org-agenda-deadline-face): Revert to old state that was without
wdays.
This allows a deadline warning period of "-0d" to work also with a
custom configuration like:
(setq org-agenda-deadline-faces
'((1.0001 . org-warning) ; due yesterday or before
(0.0 . org-upcoming-deadline))) ; due today or later
For org-agenda-deadline-faces left at default and all other settings
not exceeding 1.0, the face for a deadline warning of any length
remains untouched by this patch.

* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-float): Aliases for `diary-float'.
This is just to make sure that all the diary sexp functions

(org-anniversary, org-cyclic, org-date, org-block): New functions.
This patch provides stable alternatives for a number of diary
functions to be used in diary sexp entries. The corresponding diary-*
functions swap around their input arguments depending on
`calendar-date-style', which is unstable and evil. The functions
provided here have a fixed order of arguments, the ISO order: year
month day.
Also, the `i a' key in the agenda now uses `org-anniversary' instead of
diary-anniversary.

Here's what seems to be going on.
Clicking with the mouse works because it calls org-open-at-mouse, which
(by calling org-open-at-point) simply looks at the text surrounding the
click point to find a link.
The function org-agenda-open-link, on the other hand, grabs part of the
headline as a string (the prefix), then jumps to the location in the
original buffer and calls org-offer-links-in-entry to look for links in
both the entry and the prefix of agenda text. Obviously, it won't find
your link in the original entry since it looks like this:
%%(format "%s" (concat "[[elisp:(info)]" "[Link to info]]"))
I think it shouldn't be a problem to pass the whole agenda line to
org-offer-links-in-entry. This will not result in duplicate links, since
org-offer-links-in-entry "uniquifies" the links.
I've attached a patch.
The bigger question, however, is why the expression above is even
showing up in the agenda, since it contains no scheduling information.
:)
Best,
Matt

Subject: [PATCH] Pass entire text of agenda line to org-offer-links-in-entry.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-open-link): Pass entire text of
agenda line to org-offer-links-in-entry.
This fixes bug noticed by Charles Sebold, in which links that are
dynamically formatted for the agenda view are ignored.
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/40673
lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-set-tags): Remove org-agenda-show to prevent
disrupting windows and changing point in original buffer.
(org-agenda-set-property): Same
(org-agenda-set-effort): Same
(org-agenda-toggle-archive-tag): Same
When setting a tag in the agenda, org-mode displays the corresponding
entry in the original org buffer by calling org-agenda-show. This has
the unwelcome side-effect of disrupting the current window arrangement
and changing the position of the point in the original buffer. This
behavior is inconsistent with the that of org-agenda-todo, which makes
all its changes "silently."
Here is the offending line (6799) in org-agenda-set-tags:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(org-agenda-show) ;;; FIXME This is a stupid hack and should not be needed
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The same line occurs in org-agenda-set-property, org-agenda-set-effort,
and org-agenda-toggle-archive tag.

* doc/org.texi (Agenda commands): Document clock consistency checks.
* doc/orgcard.tex: Document key for clock consistency check.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-get-timestamps): Fix agenda display when headlines are missing
The following entry breaks the agenda display.

`----
Provide the empty string as the headline if the search for the
headline returns nil. org-format-agenda-items requires a string for
the headline parameter.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-bulk-action): Allow bulk scatter
in all possible agenda views. Use `org-agenda-schedule' instead of
`org-agenda-date-later'.
The bulk scatter command so far shifted the date that was causing an
entry to appear in the agenda. However, the true intend was to
reschedule onto dates in the near future. This patch fixes this
issue. A side effect is that you can now bulk scatter tasks that to
not yet have a date, for example also tasks picked from the TODO
list.
* lisp/org-agenda.el: Remove obsolete code for adding todo list in front
of the agenda
Todo lists should be built with the TODO list or a block agenda instead.
This code was triggered for C-u R in block agendas which is used to
limit the clock report to the current tags filter applied to the
agenda.

Here's a cleaned up patch that allows user-specified modifiers
for effort strings. The new variable `org-effort-durations'
lists modifiers, and their mapping to minutes (words, as well as
single-letter modifiers, are supported). The default value is:
(("h" . 60)
("d" . 480) ; 8 hours
("w" . 2400) ; five days
("m" . 9600) ; 4 weeks
("y" . 96000)) ; 40 weeks
But you can change this.
Old effort strings (HH:MM) are still interpreted correctly. See
the docstrings of `org-effort-durations' and
`org-duration-string-to-minutes' for more details.

Subject: [PATCH] Allow human-readable effort durations
To: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org
* lisp/org.el (org-effort-durations): New variable.
* lisp/org.el (org-duration-string-to-minutes): New function.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-filter-effort-form)
(org-format-agenda-item): Use it.
* lisp/org-clock.el (org-clock-notify-once-if-expired)
(org-clock-modify-effort-estimate, org-clock-get-clock-string): Use it.
Specifying large effort durations in hours and minutes is difficult.
Is 130:25 more than two weeks effort? More than three? This patch
allows specification of an effort duration as a friendly string. For
example 2w 5d is two weeks and five days of effort. Existing H:MM
entries will still be recognised correctly.
* org-agenda.el (org-agenda): Set the 'last-args property to
nil when calling `org-agenda'. Don't kill the local variable
`org-agenda-current-span'.
(org-run-agenda-series): Use the new property 'last-args.
(org-agenda-change-time-span): Use the dynamically set
`org-agenda-overriding-arguments' variable when non-nil.
Thanks to Matt Lundin and Michael Brand for reporting this.

Send an error when trying to scatter outside an agenda or a

* org-agenda.el (org-get-entries-from-diary): Put multiline
diary entries on a single line when lines don't start with a
diary time.
This was requested by Suvayu Ali.
Locally kill org-agenda-current-span as a variable, otherwise
the current value of org-agenda-current-span is taken as the
default value when redoing the buffer or calling org-agenda
with a different view.
This might be a temporary fix, as Julien is looking for a
more general solution. See his message here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37359
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-filter-by-tag): Refresh agenda when
updating the filter while the clock report is following the filter.
When the clock table in the agenda has been set up to respect the
current agenda tags filter, modifying the filter will now
automatically rebuild the agenda to make sure that also the clock
report is updated along with it. Updating the entire agenda is not
strictly necessary - updating the table would be enough. However,
right now we do not really have a function that will update only the
clock table, as inserting the table is currently part of building the
agenda itself. Maybe someone can optimize this in the future.
This feature was requested by Sebastien Vauban.

Here's a proposal fix.
I could have setq org-agenda-current-span to nil as a work around, but
it seems more logical to just kill all the local variables. That is, a
custom agenda view would not keep any of the local variable of the
previous agenda, which seems logical to me.

* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-get-day-entries): Compare DATE with

When a user sets org-extend-today-until, the agenda TODO list would
come up empty when requested in the extension period between midnight
and org-extend-today-until. This problem is new, it was caused by a
patch that introduced the function org-today and used it also
in org-todo-list.
The reason why this caused a problem is a bit difficult. The agenda
need a date to be defined, and getting todo entries is subject to the
current date being today. This is a leftover condition from the times
when the TODO list was often part of the daily agenda listing, and the
test is there to avoid that the TODO list comes also up when looking
at the agenda for tomorrow. Much of this is irrelevant now, because
people use either block agendas, or separate views - but the old
functionality is retained for backward compatibility.
This patch fixes the problem by making `org-agenda-get-day-entries'
check for the date computed by `org-today'.

I've followed but not sure I understood what the bug is. But from my
various tries, I found a bug: when pressing 'j', the current span is
discarded.
Attached is a patch that should fix that, even for future use of
`org-agenda-list' with the span unspecified. :)

This patch is pretty huge, so I'll give a bit of context about it.
I'm weird, but I used org-agenda-ndays set to 14. Unfortunately, this
settings was interpreted as a month view. Pressing 'f' key to see later,
would show me the next month, which was not at all what I wanted.
On the same idea, day view or week view would change my org-agenda-ndays
settings, which I think is not a good idea. Changing user setting is *bad*.
:-)
So I rewrote the things this way:
- Rename org-agenda-span to org-agenda-current-span
Which has the same meaning has before, except it can be numeric.
- Rename org-agenda-ndays to org-agenda-span
I think the name is better choosen. You can set it to a symbol instead of
only a numeric value. That means you can set it to 'month and it will show
you the number of days of the current month in your agenda. Better than
30. But you can still set it to 30, or 31, or whatever you want.
- Do not change org-agenda-span. Never.
- Use org-agenda-current-span for navigation.
That means if you press 'f', it will shows you really the next
org-agenda-current-span ndays, and not something based on "I think you
want a weekly view".

As Thomas Bauman pointed out, there are functions that can be used in
sexps which return cons cells like this
(nil . "Full Moon 3:35am (CEST)")
(this one is diary-lunar-phases), these aren't properly supported by the
previous version of my patch. This one can distinguish between such a
cons cell and a "real" list.
("John Doe's 10th wedding anniversary"
"Jane Doe's 10th wedding anniversary")
This is because
(consp (cdr '(a . b))) ; => nil
so org-diary-sexp-entry can be made return (cdr result) only in case of
the former cons cell. The third condition in the `cond' block is IMHO
enough as it is now, but if you think adding
(listp (cdr result))
may help then be it.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-add-time-grid-maybe): Pad clock times

Hello,
Here a tiny patch to:
- have padding with 0 for the clock time
- begin applying face org-time-grid from position 2, in order to be properly
aligned with the rest of the agenda (you don't see that if you don't have a
face with background color)
[My apologies, but I'm afraid my first attempt at this patch mistook a
necessary second check for redundancy. Here is an improved version.]
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-prepare-agenda): If the agenda is called
from within the agenda via an elisp link, such as
[[elisp:(org-agenda-list)]], org-prepare-agenda erases the buffer of
the file containing the link, since that buffer is current during
org-prepare agenda (due to a with-current-buffer in
org-agenda-open-link). An additional test now ensures that the
agenda buffer is in fact current when the buffer is erased and local
variables for the agenda are set.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-add-entry-text): Make sure we move
forward even if there is no text to be added.
Adding entry text with org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines greater than
0 could result in an infinite loop.
* org-agenda.el (org-agenda-clock-goto): Use `\C-c\C-x\C-j' for
`org-clock-goto' and `J' for `org-agenda-clock-goto'. If the heading
currently clocked in is not listed in the agenda, display this entry
in another buffer. If there is no running clock, display a help
message.
* org-clock.el (org-clock-set-current): append the filename after the
heading.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-menu-show-match): New option.
(org-agenda-menu-two-column): New option.
(org-agenda-get-restriction-and-command): Implement dispatch menu
without showing the matcher, and with two-column display.
This command jumps to the headline of the clocking task within the
agenda buffer. `org-agenda-clock-goto' is bound to `C-c C-x C-j'.
It is different from `org-clock-goto', which jumps to the currently
clocking entry itself (bound to `J').
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-filter-preset): Document the limitation
for the filter preset - it can only be used for an entire agenda view,
not in an individual block in a block agenda.
* doc/org.texi (Agenda commands): Document the limitation
for the filter preset - it can only be used for an entire agenda view,
not in an individual block in a block agenda.
This patch makes some straightforward corrections to a number of
docstrings. Each change is normally to:
- correct a typo, or
- fix up hyperlinks to function or variable names, or
- ensure slightly better conformance with the documentation guidelines
and tips given in the Elisp manual
No attempt is made to provide missing docstrings or document arguments.

If the target of a bulk refile operation is the entire file,
`org-refile-get-location' returns nil for the refile position.
Creating a marker for the target file's buffer at position nil returns
a marker that points nowhere (Cf. GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual,
31.6). `org-refile' adds headings to level 1 if the target position
for the target file is nil -- and hence a marker that points nowhere
is not nil, tries to jump to nowhere.

Bernt is right, and this patch tries to clarify the issue.
* lisp/org-agenda.el (org-agenda-action): Make `c' key call org-capture.
* lisp/org-capture.el: New file.
* lisp/org-compat.el (org-get-x-clipboard): Function moved here from
remember.el.
* lisp/org-mks.el: New file
* lisp/org.el (org-set-regexps-and-options): Allow statistic cookies as
part of complex headlines.
(org-find-olp): New argument THIS-BUFFER. When set, assume that the
OLP does not contain a file name.
(org-agenda-get-scheduled):
* lisp/org.el (org-time-string-to-seconds):
For deadline and scheduled agenda display ignore the cyclic repeater
when calculating how many days late the task is. If you have a weekly
task and miss the date the agenda view will show more than a week late
now instead of resetting on the cyclic repeating date. This makes it
much more obvious when you missed a repeating task after the repeater.
Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this patch.
Hello, Org mode hackers,
This patch defines a variable `org-agenda-persistent-filters'.
When it is set, filters persist from one agenda view to the next.
I've found this convenient when using tags for contexts like @home,
@net, etc., some of which commonly remain applicable for a while.
Thanks,
Thomas

Allow C-2 C-c C-w to work in the agenda.
Update agenda after refiling
This rebuilds the agenda buffer after the refile operation completes.
It was removing the to-be-refiled task before prompting for the location
which felt a little strange. While on the prompt you can't see
the task you are refiling anymore since it was just removed from the
agenda list and if you aborted from the refile operation
with C-g then the task to be refiled has already been removed.
org-agenda.el (org-agenda-include-deadlines): Added new
customization variable to determine whether unscheduled tasks
should appear in the agenda solely because of their deadline.
Default to true, which was the previous behavior (it just wasn't
configurable).
(org-agenda-mode-map, org-agenda-view-mode-dispatch): Bind ! in
the agenda to show/hide deadline tasks.
(org-agenda-menu): Added menu option for show/hide deadlines.
(org-agenda-list): Make the agenda list sensitive to the value of
`org-agenda-include-deadlines'.
(org-agenda-toggle-deadlines): New function to toggle the value of
`org-agenda-include-deadlines' and repaint the modeline
indicators.
(org-agenda-set-mode-name): Show "Deadlines" in the agenda
modeline if deadline tasks are being displayed.

When an agenda custom command has an empty string as MATCH element, so
far this would lead to a meaningless search using an empty matcher.
Now and empty (or white) string will be interpreted just like a nil
matcher, i.e. the user will be prompted for the match.

RET will only do this if the cursor is on the link and
`org-return-follows-link' is set. `C-c C-o' will work anywhere in the
line.
Requested by Chris Leyon.
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 (org-habit-get-priority): A new function that determines
the relative priority of a habit, based on how long past its scheduled
date it is, and how near the deadline is.
org-agenda.el (org-agenda-get-scheduled): Set habit priority using
`org-habit-get-priority'.
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-agenda-auto-exclude-function): New customization variable for
allowing the user to create an "auto exclusion" filter for doing
context-aware auto tag filtering.
(org-agenda-filter-by-tag): Changes to support the use of
`org-agenda-auto-exclude-function'. See the new manual addition,.
The default in search view is not that the search expression is
searched for as a substring, i.e. the different words must occur in
direct sequence. The old way is only used it the first word in
the search string is preceded by a plus or a minus.
This was, more-or-less, requested by John Wiegley.

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.
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.

This commit sets up such a variable, and also a hook.
The category can contain a bracket link. This commit makes sure that
the prefix in the agenda looks OK if there is a link, and that the
link is accessible with `C-c C-o 0'.

The new keys are b and f. This used to be on the cursor keys, but
they do now again do cursor motion.
This is a significant change in the UI, I hope this will not cause too
many problems.
Fix bulk refiling in the agenda due to commit
9ec5529 (Fix jumping to last refile location in agenda, 2009-08-20)
This restores the original behaviour.
This bug was caused by commit
8c177dc832, and reported by Matt
Lundin. The problem was that this commit tried to remove the text
propertes of the MATCH part of an agenda command. However, in block
commands, the MATCH part is not a string.
New variable `org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown' to avoid
that a entry shows up in the agenda for today for both a scheduling
and a deadline entry. See the docstring of the variables for more
details.

Indeed the happens because, when a parent gets refiled or
achieved, any entries corresponding to its children are
removed from the agenda.
We address this issue by
- sorting the markers, to make sure parents will be handled
before children
- No longer throwing an error when a bulk action entry no
longer is present in the agenda - most likely it was taken
care of together with its parent.
This commit defines three new functions in org-timer.el:
- org-timer-set-timer, bound to `C-c C-x ;' in Org buffers
and to `;' in Org agenda buffers. This function sets a
timer for the headline the cursor is currently it. Up to
three timers can be set.
- org-timer-show-remaining-time: this shows the remaining
time for the last set timer.
- org-timer-reset-timers: this reset all timers.
This functionality was requested by Samuel Wales and emulates
that of tea-time.el -- see the emacswiki doc about tea-time.el:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/tea-time
Agenda bulk commands on marked entries now can also set the scheduling
date or a deadline. Normally, all entries will be set to the
specified date. However, when writing the change as "++5d" or "++2w",
then each time stamp will independently be shifted by that amount.
This commit implements refiling directly from the agenda.
It also implements a mechanism for selecting a number of entries in
the agenda and then executing a command on all of them. Possible
actions include archive, refile, todo state setting, and more.
When the agenda buffer for an agenda series is created, this was so
far done without the options of the custom agenda command in place.
This meant that some options would not take effect, because the only
place where that did would have an effect was during creation of that
buffer.
This commit makes sure that the global options of an agenda series are
in fact in place when the buffer is created.

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.
If the trigger for a log mode entry in the agenda has notes, for
example a note associated with a state change or with a clock entry,
the first line of the notes will now be added to the logbook entry.
You can turn this off the with new variable
`org-agenda-log-mode-add-notes'.
During secondary agenda filtering, pressing "?" now will install a
filter that selects entries which do not have an effort defined.
This new model was necessary because we needed to stop interpreting
entries with no effort defines as 0 effort. This was inconsistent,
because for normal agenda sorting, the treatment of these entries
depends on the variable `org-sort-agenda-noeffort-is-high'. Now this
variable is also respected during filtering.
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.
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.
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'.
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.

Why not, C-c C-x C-w is a fine idea for this. It should now work.

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.
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.
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 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.
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'.
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.

I agree with this view and the commit implements exactly this.
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.
When org-depend.el is loaded, running the blocker hook will already
toggle a tag. However, when dimming the agenda, we do not want that.
