See the new manual section on "Resolving idle time".
(org-clock-resolve-clock): If keeping or subtracting time results in a
clock out at a time in the past, and if the resolution occurred due to
idleness or invoking `M-x org-resolve-clocks', remember that past moment
in time. On the next clock in, the user will be prompted to see if they
want to back-date their new clock to then.
(org-clock-resolve): Do not jump the user to the location of a dangling
clock if the resolution is occuring due to an idle timeout. In that
case there is typically only one dangling clock, the active one, and
there is no value gained by shuffling their windows around to show it to
them. Being prompted to resolve an idle clock should be as inobtrusive
as possible.
(org-resolve-clocks-if-idle): New function that resolves only the
currently active clock if the user has exceeded the time returned by
`org-user-idle-seconds', based on the value of `org-clock-idle-time'.
(org-clock-in): If, after resolving clocks,
(org-clock-out): Cancel the `org-clock-idle-timer' on clock out.
This file should be with the other org files, and not in the staging
area. Also, when file names in mobileorg.org are interpreted, this
should be relative to org-directory. So we also require now that the
user set this variable.
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.
The reorganizes parts of the manual. The Archiving stuff has been
moved into the new chapter "Capture-Refile-Archive". Also, there is a
new chapter "Markup" to contains both the markup rules (moved there
from the Export chapter) and the embedded LaTeX stuff.
The new variable org-mobile-files can now be configured to include
non-agenda files into the staging area for MobileOrg. Furthermore,
files that are located in a subdirectory of `org-directory' will also
end up in a sub-directory in the staging area.
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.
Using :timetamp t as an option in a clock report now allows
insertion of the timestamp for the clocked entry. Timestamps
are searched for in this order: SCHEDULING, TIMESTAMP, DEADLINE
and TIMESTAMP_IA.
Allow whitespace in code references. Allow the -r switch to remove the
references in the source code even when the lines are not numbered: the
labels can be explicit enough. Note that "-r -k" is the same than no
switch - as expected.
Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for bring this up.
This hook is called in org-clock-in earlier than the existing
org-clock-in-hook. This is useful for functions that need to
modify the Effort property, for example.
Customize the new variable org-footnote-auto-adjust or use the STARTUP
option fnadjust to get automatic renumbering and sorting of footnotes
after each insertion/deletion.
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.
TAB now cycles visibility in plain lists if the cursor is in a plain
list. This corresponds now to the new default value `t' of
`org-cycle-include-plain-lists'. If you want to treat plain list
items as part of the outline hierarchy during cycling of outline
headings (this is what a `t' value used to mean), set this variable to
`integrate'.
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.
Clicking on the clock in the mode line now pops up a menu with
clocking options.
A new command `C-c C-x C-e' allows to set or change the effort
estimate of the task currently being clocked. This is mainly useful
when using an alert notification when the task should be finished.
Based on a patch by Konstantin Antipin.
This commit changes which time is shown in the mode line while
clocking. Normally this will now be the total time ever clocked on
this task and its children.
However, when the task is a repeating one, only the time since the
last reset of the task will be shown. The time of the last reset is
now recorded in a LAST_REPEAT property.
You can also set the CLOCK_MODELINE_TOTAL property to the value
"current" to only show the current clocking instance. Or it may be
the value "today", to only add up the time spent today on this task.
Other possible values are "repeat", "all", or "auto".
Finally, you can set your default for this property with
`org-clock-modeline-total'.
This commit introduces two new variables:
- org-treat-insert-todo-heading-as-state-change
Default is nil. When set to t, adding a new TODO item will be done
by adding an item and the executing an "official" state change which
potentially will trigger state logging.
- org-treat-S-cursor-todo-seletion-as-state-change
Default is t. When set to nil, selecting a TODO state with
S-left/right will not trigger logging, only selecting a new state
with `C-c C-t'. I actually like this a lot and would even consider
making this the default.

The better approach is clearly to allow several buffers, now
implemented with this commit.
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.
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.
When refiling, you can now create new parent nodes on the fly. To do
this, set the variable `org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes' to
`confirm'. Then, at a refiling prompt, proceed with completion until
you have an existing heading, and then add "/new heading", i.e. a
slash followed by the new heading. That heading will be created as a
child of the existing heading, and the entry to be refiled will end up
under that new heading.
New wrapper span around keyword plus time stamp, with class
timestamp-wrapper.
.timestamp-wrapper {float: right;}
could be a nice entry in a CSS style file.
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.
