New wrapper span around keyword plus time stamp, with class

.timestamp-wrapper {float: right;}
could be a nice entry in a CSS style file.

This commit fixes the problem, in a slightly different way
than Adam proposed. Instead of trying to fix the old way to
find the position of the clock, we now simple search the
entry if there is an unfinished clock and go there. Since
new clocks are added before older ones, this should be a
safe bet.
Time stamps in LaTeX export now also honor custom time stamp formats.
Furthermore, the new option `org-export-latex-timestamp-markup' can
specify special markup for time stamps.
Some of the standard export options are now defined in backend
specific files. This commit makes sure that building the options
property list will not cause an error because of unneeded (for the
backend) undefined variables.

Both problems are address in this commit.
Remember and refile processing does not require a task. This change
removes the unneeded default task.
This supports a workflow where new remember tasks and notes go into a
mostly empty file which just has #+FILETAGS: at the top and nothing
else.
This workflow has a minimal number of remember templates
- one for new tasks and (filed in tasks.org)
- one for new notes (filed in notes.org)
- one for phone calls (filed in phone.org)
New tasks are added as top-level tasks to the end of these files and
the #+FILETAGS: REFILE header causes each task to be easy to find.
All tasks in these files are refiled to a more appropriate org file at
a later time.
The following contributed packages are (partially) obsolete.
org-browser-url.el
org-annotation-helper.el
The functionality of both these packages is a subset of
org-protocol.el, which is now part of the Emacs core
and is recommended.
org-depend.el
A significant fraction of the org-depend functionality
dependence on siblings, children, and parents) is now
built-in into the Org core. Org-depend remains
in the distribution as a proof-of-concept fro complex
and remote dependencies.
org-interactive-query.el
I believe that much of what this package was build for
is now available with tag filtering.
These packages are now marked in org-modules as such.
The command org-reload did not only reload any loaded files, but all
lisp files in the Org distribution. Also, it actually never reloaded
any files from the contrib directory. Both of these problems are now
fixed.
Mapping call a function for each matching entry. So far this has
always assumed that the entry stays in the buffer and search can
continue from there. However, when the mapper function removes the
tree, more control is needed to specify from where the search should
continue.
The action function handed to the mapping function can now set the
variable `org-map-continue-from' to the position from where mapping
should continue.

After some back and forth, Daniel convinced me, and this is now done
correctly.
If the trigger for a log mode entry in the agenda has notes, for
example a note associated with a state change or with a clock entry,
the first line of the notes will now be added to the logbook entry.
You can turn this off the with new variable
`org-agenda-log-mode-add-notes'.
The annotation and initial contents for a remember template are
normally taken from the variables `annotation' and `initial', which
are bound by remember. We now also check the property list for such
values, so that the link generating routine can force the right values
in there.
With the setting
(setq org-refile-use-outline-path 'file)
the file names ended up twice, like
"xxx.org/level 1/level 2 (xxx.org)"
Now the second occurrence is omitted.
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.

This module implements inline tasks in Org-mode. Inline tasks are
tasks that have all the properties of normal outline nodes, including
the ability to store meta data like scheduling dates, TODO state, tags
and properties. However, these nodes are treated specially by the
visibility cycling and export commands.
The name of the feed status drawer can now be configured, and each
feed can use a different name. This will allow to point several feeds
at the same inbox heading.
RefTeX can now be used to create a citation in Org-mode buffers.
Setup the buffer with #+BIBLIOGRAPHY: bibbase style
and create citations with `C-c C-x ['.
The new variable `org-agenda-cmp-user-defined' can contain a function
to test how two entries should be compared during sorting.
user-defined-up and user-defined-down can then be part of any sorting
strategy.
This now keep a memory of what the items in the feed looked like using
a sha1 hash. Therefore we now have the capability to trigger on item
*change* rather than addition.

Patch by Chris fixes this problem.
The new variable `org-agenda-search-headline-for-time' also turned off
time searching for diary items as an unwanted side-effect. This
commit makes sure that diary entries are always parsed for a time.

This is indeed a bug. The all to `org-get-tags-at' does change the
match data if there is a match for the inheritance regexp. This
problem is now avoided by first extracting (match-string 1), and then
getting the tags.
Studying this bug also exposed another one, namely that file tags are
not marked as inherited tags. This is now fixed, immediately when
the #+FILETAGS line is parsed.

This was caused by the fact that markers seem to point to the
base buffer always, so we need to check if the current buffer's
base buffer is equal to the marker buffer.

org-mac-message.el now contains these new functions.
When setting the variable `org-remember-back-directory', each
remember buffer created will now get its own unique file name in that
directory. So if you, by accident, overwrite a remember buffer or
remove it before storing it, there will be a backup.
Items are listed in the agenda sometimes in bright colors, to draw
attention to important tasks or deadlines. When such an item is
switched to DONE, the state change is reflected by the new TODO
keyword, but the line itself might still be bright. Org de-emphasizes
the line by changing the face of the line. It used to change it to
the face `org-done', but now we use a new, independent face
`org-agenda-done'.
When a tags/property match does match an entry and its sublevels, the
sublevels used to be indented by dots, to indicate that the matches
likely result from tag inheritance. This is now no longer the
default, but you can get it back with
(setq org-tags-match-list-sublevels 'indented)

Fixed with this commit, a patch written by Peter Jones.
Outline levels below the headline boundary are now treated better, as
proper list. The variable `org-export-latex-low-levels' can now also
be `itemize' or `enumerate', to get the corresponding list structure.
The new default is `itemize', to make it parallel with the behavior in
HTML.
When exporting to a temporary buffer, images to replace LaTeX
fragments cannot be produced, because there is no useful location
where they can be put. Therefore, these images are not produced in
this case.
This commit implements an important change: When, during a
stuck-project search, a project tree is identified as not stuck, so
far the search would continue after the end of the project tree. From
now on, the search continues in the subtree, so that stuck subprojects
can still be identified.
In verse environments, line breaks are now enforced both in LaTeX and
in HTML. Centering is now implemented using a div rather than a
paragraph, so that there may be several paragraphs in the centering
environment. Blockquotes now also may have several paragraphs.

Why not, C-c C-x C-w is a fine idea for this. It should now work.
When a note is taken, the new drawer is created before the note is
taken. Now the drawer is removed again if the note gets aborted and
if the drawer is empty.

This is in fact how changing time works in many applications, and
it does make sense here as well. The commits implements this
change.
It also implements a way to change the start time of an entry from
the agenda. The date is normally changed with S-right/left.
Now, if you add a C-u prefix, the hour will be changed. If you
immediately press S-right/left again, hours will continue to be
changed.
A double prefix will do the same for minutes.
If a link is [[#name][desc]], the href wil be exacty href="#name".
So starting a link target with # will indicate that there will be an
explicit target for this.

This is a bug, fixed now.

Yes, this is a bug that occurs in the special case when the
heading stars are inserted in front of an existing line. The
commit adds code to make sure the correct position is used.
The default for the sitemap file was "index.org" which is really
terrible because it will overwrite the index.html file. Now the
default is "sitemap.org".

This commit is the patch Adam sent in.
Message-mode assigns auto-safe file names to temporary buffers, in the
draft directory. This causes problems when running message-mode in a
temporary buffer with with-temp-buffer. When the form tries to kill
the buffer, is asks for saving it....
This commit turns off the buffer-modified flag and so avoids the
query.
Patch by Nick Dokos.
Running a command that would use the tag scanner could suffer a large
slow-down when many entries match, because the tag list with
inheritance forces each matching entry to walk the hierarchy.
Now, it is possible to avoid this penalty by using the variable
`org-scanner-tags', or by binding the `org-trust-scanner-tags' to t
around calls to `org-get-tags-at' and `org-entry-properties' when
retrieving tags and properties for the current entry in the
scanner/mapper.
An agenda item carries a full list of tags. The list must normally be
made, but not during a tags scan. So now the tags scan does pass on
its list instead, which should make things faster.

This commit fixes the bug.
Custom commands can now bind `org-agenda-filter-preset'. This filter
will then be present in the agenda view and persist through refresh
and further filtering. Only a new agenda command will remove the
filter again.
uuidgen ids may start with a number and therefore are not valid names
in HTML. Therefore we now use and "ID-" prefix for such IDs when
exporting to HTML.
The variable org-priority-faces can now be used to set special faces
for different priority cookies.
Also, in the agenda, the default is now to fontify only the priority
cookie, not the entire task. See the variable
`org-agenda-fontify-priorities'.
Before, the bibliography will exist inside the outline structure, as
part of the last section. This commit adds code to find it, cut it
out, and move it to a better location.
Before this patch, org-agenda-quit would delete the agenda window if
the frame had more than one window. This patch changes that behavior
slightly so that if org-agenda-window-setup is 'current-window, the
agenda window won't be deleted.
Org erroneously filed top-level headings as level 2, because it
assumes that if should file below some heading. However, if there is
no heading to file under, this should be turned off.
Patch by igrekster.
When inserting new list entries, sometime empty lines will be
inserted automatically. This, however, makes only sense if empty
lines do not terminate the list, as configured by
`org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists'.
This commit makes sure that, if
`org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists' is set, automatic empty lines
will never be inserted.

This was caused by an attempt of the publishing code to always find
the top enclosing project. While this makes sense when publishing a
project, for a single file we want just the smallest enclosing
project. This commit makes sure that this difference is treated
correctly.
A new hook is introduced, `org-agenda-before-write-hook'.
A function that ca be added to this hook is
`org-agenda-add-entry-text'. When this is done, each of the entries
shown in the agenda is amended with text that in the original buffer
is part of the entry text below the headline. Drawers are not copied,
and also the line with scheduling and deadline information is not
used. Finally, the number of ines to be added is imited by
`org-agenda-add-entry-text-maxlines'.
Links with description not create a note before the next headline that
contains the link. In the text, the description will be shown.
The new variable `org-export-ascii-links-to-notes' can be configured
to turn off this behavior, then the reference will be inserted inline
in the text. If the line becomes too long because of this, it will
be wrapped.
If the headline contains a time-of-day in one format or another, it
will be used to sort the entry into the time sequence of items for a
day. Some people have time stamps in the headline that refer to the
creation time or so, and then this produces an unwanted side effect.
If this is the case for your, use the new option
`org-agenda-search-headline-for-time' to turn off searching the
headline for a time.
