Emacs recently (when?) changed the abbreviated format for days.
The clock was confused when trying to mach this format. This patch
by Nicolas Goaziou fixes it.
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.
This option lets the user customize the notification mechanism.
For example, she might want to use todochiku.el.
This option defaults to nil, hence doesn't change the previous
behavior: if the program notify-send is installed on the system,
use it, and falls back on using (message [notification]) if not.
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.

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 patch prevents the org-clock-sound notification and the
"Task'BLAH' should be finished by now."
message when the termination time is reached and the clock is not
running.
Before this patch spurious notifications and messages were generated when
clocking in a task with estimated effort time remaining. After clocking
out the task the remaining minutes would tick by and then the sound
and message that the task should be finished were generated - even though
you are not working on it anymore.
This makes org-clock-sound a little more well-behaved. The clock
sound was only being issued if you were already clocking a task that
was under its limit, and changed to clocking something else. Now each
time you clock in a new task it checks the estimated effort limit and
issues the org-clock-sound if the limit is exceeded.
This patch issues the org-clock-sound whenever you clock in a task
that is already over its estimated effort amount. This allows you to
use the estimated effort as a limit for the amount of time to spend on
a task. Each time you clock in the task you'll be notified that you
are over the limit. This is great for tasks where you want to limit
the amount of time spent (per day, since last repeat) and is a
reminder to go work on something else instead.
