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.

Good idea, I would say.
When yasnippet is active, it is the official binding of TAB. That
means, the org-mode self-insert command must know that it may blank
table fields if the last command was yas/expand.

This commit introduces a new variable `org-export-table-row-tags'
that can be used for this and similar purposes. For the example
of the poster, one could use:
(setq org-export-table-row-tags
(cons '(if head "<tr>"
(if (= (mod nline 2) 1)
"<tr class=\"d1\">"
"<tr class=\"d0\">"))
"</tr>"))
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.
When the variable `org-treat-S-cursor-todo-selection-as-state-change'
is turned off, switching TODO keywords with S-cursor will not only
turn off logging, but also blocking.
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.
This commit adds a new hook `org-src-mode-hook'.
The Hook run after Org switched a source code snippet to
its Emacs mode. This hook will run
- when editing a source code snippet with \"C-c '\".
- When formatting a source code snippet for export with htmlize.
You may want to use this hook for example to turn off `outline-minor-mode'
or similar things which you want to have when editing a source code file,
but which mess up the display of a snippet in Org exported files.
As the export preprocessor removes indentation from indented blocks,
this causes conflicts about interpreting indentation as list
termination. Now the original indentation is stored in a text
property, so hopefully the exporters can make use of this information
in due time.
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 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'.
The content of blocks like #+begin_example will be marked with a
separate face. That same face is also used for single lines
introducing text for specific backends.
* nil. No sound played.
* any string, that is not a file. Make a beep

If not, use standard emacs play-sound-file function.
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.
show notification when time is up.
* Linux only: If libnotify is used - the standard notification
system in linux, then show notification with it.
Note: Additional package libnotify-bin should be installed.
Additionally, use beep if variable org-clock-sound is set.
* If aplay (alsa player) is available, interpret org-clock-sound as
path to the file, which should be played.

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

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

There is now a better error message when either the latex or the

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.
This reverts commit 61dfa0c67f.
This wasn't such a great idea after all. There is one case where
this is really annoying - if you are in the middle of displaying
an agenda view with lots of filters active and you change what you
are clocking it jumps away and you lose the agenda view.
This one case makes hitting a dedicated function key that runs
org-clock-goto more desireable.
