By default, title, author, date and email lines appear in dark blue
with the initial keywords greyed out. The title is in a larger font
than the others. This is implemented by the following new faces:
org-document-title
org-document-info
org-document-info-keyword
In addition, the variable org-hidden-keywords can be used to make the
corresponding keywords disappear.
This new code will search #+INDEX lines in the buffer. For LaTeX, it
will simple convert these into LaTeX \index{} commands. For other
backends, it will copy thee entries to a new file, with extension
orgx. These files can then later be post-processed to create the index.

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.

I've create some presentation on programming (some more to do) and to my
surprise I've discovered that if org-mode escapes one "&" properly it
doesn't do its job in case of "&&" (and a single "^" too). I get "\&&"
in latex file which of course is wrong.
This support was totally broken. It works now again. Unfortunately
it is not possible to edit the table directly in the org-mode buffer
anymore - to edit such a table, you have to use C-c '
This patch implements reading American dates, like
2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2/5 --> ????-02-05
Is also fixes a bug that would force the current year when reading a
date like 2/5 (American) or 2-5 (ISO), and in this way would prevent
`org-read-date-prefer-future' to do its job. This bug was reported by
Lukasz Stelmach.
Also get rid of a bug: as timers where not properly canceled,
`org-timer-show-remaining-time' was not giving the proper result.
Thanks to Frédéric Couchet for this catch.
The `org-clock-set-current' and `org-clock-delete-current' functions
handle this variable. The variable only stores the last clocked in
entry, not the history of clocked in tasks.
This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produce for example
by viewing from the agenda. Reported by Matt Lundin:

The coding system of the LaTeX class will now only be set to the value
corresponding to the buffer's file coding system if the class
specifies \usepackage[AUTO]{inputenc}. Any other value for the coding
system will not be modified.

This patch introduces a new user option to select this behavior.

The variable `org-clock-out-when-done' can now also be a list of
states. When the TODO state of a task changes to one of these states,
the clock will stop running in that task.
This extension of the logic was a proposal by Ricard Riley.

Also, when using C-c C-o on a headline of get a list of links in the

projects to be defined, with a number of files that have to be opened
by different applications.
These were requests by John Wiegley.

This does now work, but only if the user has no template defined for
the access letter `C'.

It is not customizable, like for the agenda....

The regular expression was not optimal, and if there was a horizontal
rule, search would not start from the beginning of the buffer but from
after the rule!

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.
