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.

2. Can we put all of those state change history logging messages
into a drawer like "STATE-HIST" (when the drawer is defined in
org-drawers), so it is less intrusive in the file?
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.

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:
(setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO(t)" "STARTED(s!)"
"WAITING(w@/!)" "MAYBE(m/!)" "DELEGATED(g@/!)"
"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'.

Consider a structure like this:
* first
** second
*** third
**** fourth
Currently, if I export the "third" sub-tree to html (via "C-c @
C-x C-e h"), then "third" becomes an <h1> heading, but "fourth"
becomes an <h5> heading. I would rather it were <h2>, i.e. that
all heading levels be relative to the root of the sub-tree. Is
there any way to achieve this?
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 have a table where one column consists of inactive dates, such as
this:
| Date | OK? |
|------------------+-----|
| [2009-01-30 Fri] | x |
| [2009-01-27 Tue] | x |
| [2009-01-28 Wed] | x |
I can't sort the table by that column. If I change the dates to
active, then sorting (by time) works fine. Is this behavior
intentional?
Yes, intentional, because the same routine also does sorting of
entries and should prefer active time stamps. However, I realize that
we can still look for an inactive time stamp when no active one can be
found. This is what this commit implements.

I like to schedule items I'm supposed to be working on, so I like
when I complete a task that the next sibling task gets the
schedule from the previous one. This implements that kind of
workflow with the org-depend contrib package.
I've also added a few methods to org.el to make working with
schedules & deadlines easier.
When there were multiple cookies in a headline, the counting would be
double. Also the hook got called always, even if no cookie was
present.
Fixed now.
Turns out a number of people set their variables too late so that
activating dependencies does not work correctly. We now double-check
in the mode hook that everything is in order.....
This causes problems in tables.
You have now two ways to make verbatim things. Use ~xyz~ or =xyz=
depending on whether ~ or = might occur in the string......
