* Incompatible changes

** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  7.01
   :END:

   Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]] instead.

** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  7.01
   :END:

   To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
   version of XEmacs.  We were about to drop XEmacs support entirely,
   but Michael Sperber stepped in and made changes to XEmacs that made
   it easier to keep the support.  Thanks to Michael for this
   last-minute save.

** New keys for TODO sparse trees
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  7.01
   :END:

   The key =C-c C-v= is now reserved for Org Babel action.  TODO sparse
   trees can still be made with =C-c / t= (all not-done states) and =C-c /
   T= (specific states).

** The Agenda =org-agenda-ndays= is now obsolete
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  7.4
   :END:
   
   The variable =org-agenda-ndays= is obsolete - please use =org-agenda-span= instead.

   Thanks to Julien Danjou for this.

** Changes to the intended use of =org-export-latex-classes=
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  6.35
   :END:

   So far this variable has been used to specify the complete header of the
   LaTeX document, including all the =\usepackage= calls necessary for the
   document.  This setup makes it difficult to maintain the list of
   packages that Org itself would like to call, for example for the special
   symbol support it needs.

   First of all, you can *opt out of this change* in the following way: You
   can say: /I want to have full control over headers, and I will take
   responsibility to include the packages Org needs/.  If that is what you
   want, add this to your configuration and skip the rest of this section
   (except maybe for the description of the =[EXTRA]= place holder):

   #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq org-export-latex-default-packages-alist nil
        org-export-latex-packages-alist nil)
   #+end_src /Continue to read here if you want to go along with the modified setup./

   There are now two variables that should be used to list the LaTeX
   packages that need to be included in all classes.  The header definition
   in =org-export-latex-classes= should then not contain the corresponding =\usepackage= calls (see below).

   The two new variables are:

   1. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist= :: This is the variable
        where Org-mode itself puts the packages it needs.  Normally you
        should not change this variable.  The only reason to change it
        anyway is when one of these packages causes a conflict with another
        package you want to use.  Then you can remove that packages and
        hope that you are not using Org-mode functionality that needs it.

   2. =org-export-latex-packages-alist= :: This is the variable where you
        can put the packages that you'd like to use across all classes.

   The sequence how these customizations will show up in the LaTeX
   document are:

   1. Header from =org-export-latex-classes=
   2. =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=
   3. =org-export-latex-packages-alist=
   4. Buffer-specific things set with =#+LaTeX_HEADER:=

   If you want more control about which segment is placed where, or if you
   want, for a specific class, have full control over the header and
   exclude some of the automatic building blocks, you can put the following
   macro-like place holders into the header:

   #+begin_example
   [DEFAULT-PACKAGES]      \usepackage statements for default packages
   [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]   do not include any of the default packages
   [PACKAGES]              \usepackage statements for packages
   [NO-PACKAGES]           do not include the packages
   [EXTRA]                 the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
   [NO-EXTRA]              do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
   #+end_example

   If you have currently customized =org-export-latex-classes=, you should
   revise that customization and remove any package calls that are covered
   by =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=.  This applies to the
   following packages:

   - inputenc
   - fontenc
   - fixltx2e
   - graphicx
   - longtable
   - float
   - wrapfig
   - soul
   - t1enc
   - textcomp
   - marvosym
   - wasysym
   - latexsym
   - amssymb
   - hyperref

   If one of these packages creates a conflict with another package you are
   using, you can remove it from =org-export-latex-default-packages-alist=.
   But then you risk that some of the advertised export features of Org
   will not work properly.

   You can also consider moving packages that you use in all classes to =org-export-latex-packages-alist=.  If necessary, put the place holders
   so that the packages get loaded in the right sequence.  As said above,
   for backward compatibility, if you omit the place holders, all the
   variables will dump their content at the end of the header.

** The constant =org-html-entities= is obsolete
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  6.35
   :END:

   Its content is now part of the new constant =org-entities=, which is
   defined in the file org-entities.el. =org-html-entities= was an internal
   variable, but it is possible that some users did write code using it.

** `org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist' has changed
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  7.5
   :END:

   Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly.

** Deleted =org-mode-p=
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  7.8
   :END:

   This function has been deleted: please update your code.

* Important new features

** New Org to ODT exporter
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  7.8
   :END:

   Jambunathan's Org to ODT exporter is now part of Org.

   To use it, it `C-c C-e o' in an Org file.  See the documentation for more
   information on how to customize it.

** org-capture.el is now the default capture system
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  7.01
   :END:

   This replaces the earlier system org-remember.  The manual only describes
   org-capture, but for people who prefer to continue to use org-remember,
   we keep a static copy of the former manual section [[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][chapter about
   remember]].

   The new system has a technically cleaner implementation and more
   possibilities for capturing different types of data.  See [[http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/26441/focus%3D26441][Carsten's
   announcement]] for more details.

   To switch over to the new system:

   1. Run

    : M-x org-capture-import-remember-templates RET

    to get a translated version of your remember templates into the
    new variable =org-capture-templates=.  This will "mostly" work,
    but maybe not for all cases.  At least it will give you a good
    place to modify your templates.  After running this command,
    enter the customize buffer for this variable with

    : M-x customize-variable RET org-capture-templates RET

    and convince yourself that everything is OK.  Then save the
    customization.

   2. Bind the command =org-capture= to a key, similar to what you did
      with org-remember:

    : (define-key global-map "\C-cc" 'org-capture)

    If your fingers prefer =C-c r=, you can also use this key once
    you have decided to move over completely to the new
    implementation.  During a test time, there is nothing wrong
    with using both system in parallel.

* New libraries

** New Org libraries
*** org-eshell.el (Konrad Hinsen)
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.8
    :END:

    Implement links to eshell buffers.

*** org-special-blocks (Carsten Dominik)
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  7.8
   :END:

This package generalizes the #+begin_foo and #+end_foo tokens.

To use, put the following in your init file:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
(require 'org-special-blocks)
#+END_EXAMPLE

The tokens #+begin_center, #+begin_verse, etc. existed previously.  This
package generalizes them (at least for the LaTeX and html exporters).  When
a #+begin_foo token is encountered by the LaTeX exporter, it is expanded
into \begin{foo}.  The text inside the environment is not protected, as
text inside environments generally is.  When #+begin_foo is encountered by
the html exporter, a div with class foo is inserted into the HTML file.  It
is up to the user to add this class to his or her stylesheet if this div is
to mean anything.

*** org-taskjuggler.el (Christian Egli)
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.01
    :END:

    Christian Egli's /org-taskjuggler.el/ module is now part of Org.  He
    also wrote a [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-taskjuggler.php][tutorial]] for it.

*** org-ctags.el (Paul Sexton)
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.34
    :END:

    Targets like =<<my target>>= can now be found by Emacs' etag
    functionality, and Org-mode links can be used to to link to etags, also
    in non-Org-mode files.  For details, see the file /org-ctags.el/.

    This feature uses a new hook =org-open-link-functions= which will call
    function to do something special with text links.

    Thanks to Paul Sexton for this contribution.

*** org-docview.el (Jan Böcker)
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.34
    :END:

    This new module allows links to various file types using docview, where
    Emacs displays images of document pages.  Docview link types can point
    to a specific page in a document, for example to page 131 of the
    Org-mode manual:

    : [[docview:~/.elisp/org/doc/org.pdf::131][Org-Mode Manual]]

    Thanks to Jan Böcker for this contribution.

** New Babel libraries

- ob-picolisp.el (Thorsten Jolitz)
- ob-fortran.el (Sergey Litvinov)
- ob-shen.el (Eric Schulte)
- ob-maxima.el (Eric S Fraga)
- ob-java.el (Eric Schulte)
- ob-lilypond.el (Martyn Jago)
- ob-awk.el (Eric Schulte)

* Other new features and various enhancements

** Hyperlinks

*** Org-Bibtex -- major improvements
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.6
    :END:

    Provides support for managing bibtex bibliographical references
    data in headline properties.  Each headline corresponds to a
    single reference and the relevant bibliographic meta-data is
    stored in headline properties, leaving the body of the headline
    free to hold notes and comments.  Org-bibtex is aware of all
    standard bibtex reference types and fields.

    The key new functions are

- org-bibtex-check :: queries the user to flesh out all required
     (and with prefix argument optional) bibtex fields available
     for the specific reference =type= of the current headline.

- org-bibtex-create :: Create a new entry at the given level,
     using org-bibtex-check to flesh out the relevant fields.

- org-bibtex-yank :: Yank a bibtex entry on the kill ring as a
     formatted Org-mode headline into the current buffer

- org-bibtex-export-to-kill-ring :: Export the current headline
     to the kill ring as a formatted bibtex entry.



*** org-gnus.el now allows link creation from messages
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.5
    :END:

    You can now create links from messages.  This is particularily
    useful when the user wants to stored messages that he sends, for
    later check.  Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for the patch.



*** Modified link escaping
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.5
    :END:

    David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'.  See [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888][his message]]:

: Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters
: in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets
: in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in
: a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http:
: link).
:
: With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and
: unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters.
: Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning
: percent escaped links are solved.

    Thanks a lot to David for this work.



*** Make =org-store-link= point to directory in a dired buffer
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    When, in a dired buffer, the cursor is not in a line listing a
    file, `org-store-link' will store a link to the directory.

    Patch by Stephen Eglen.



*** Allow regexps in =org-file-apps= to capture link parameters
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    The way extension regexps in =org-file-apps= are handled has
    changed.  Instead of matching against the file name, the regexps
    are now matched against the whole link, and you can use grouping
    to extract link parameters which you can then use in a command
    string to be executed.

    For example, to allow linking to PDF files using the syntax =file:/doc.pdf::<page number>=, you can add the following entry to
    org-file-apps:

    #+begin_example
    Extension: \.pdf::\([0-9]+\)\'
    Command:   evince "%s" -p %1
    #+end_example

    Thanks to Jan Böcker for a patch to this effect.

** Dates and time

*** Allow relative time when scheduling/adding a deadline
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.7
    :END:

    You can now use relative duration strings like "-2d" or "++3w"
    when calling =org-schedule= or =org-deadline=: it will schedule
    (or set the deadline for) the item respectively two days before
    today and three weeks after the current timestamp, if any.

    You can use this programmatically: =(org-schedule nil "+2d")=
    will work on the current entry.

    You can also use this while (bulk-)rescheduling and
    (bulk-)resetting the deadline of (several) items from the agenda.

    Thanks to Memnon Anon for a heads up about this!




*** American-style dates are now understood by =org-read-date=
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    So when you are prompted for a date, you can now answer like this

    #+begin_example
    2/5/3         --> 2003-02-05
    2/5           --> <CURRENT-YEAR>-02-05
    #+end_example

** Agenda

*** =org-agenda-custom-commands= has a default value
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.8
    :END:

    This option used to be `nil' by default.  This now has a default
    value, displaying an agenda and all TODOs.  See the docstring for
    details.  Thanks to Carsten for this.


*** Improved filtering through =org-agenda-to-appt=
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.8
    :END:

    The new function allows the user to refine the scope of entries
    to pass to =org-agenda-get-day-entries= and allows to filter out
    entries using a function.

    Thanks to Peter Münster for raising a related issue and to
    Tassilo Horn for this idea.  Also thanks to Peter Münster for
    [[git:68ffb7a7][fixing a small bug]] in the final implementation.



*** Allow ap/pm times in agenda time grid
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.4
    :END:

    Times in the agenda can now be displayed in am/pm format.  See the new
    variable =org-agenda-timegrid-use-ampm=.  Thanks to C. A. Webber for
    a patch to this effect.



*** Agenda: Added a bulk "scattering" command
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.4
    :END: =B S= in the agenda buffer will cause tasks to be rescheduled a random
    number of days into the future, with 7 as the default.  This is useful
    if you've got a ton of tasks scheduled for today, you realize you'll
    never deal with them all, and you just want them to be distributed
    across the next N days.  When called with a prefix arg, rescheduling
    will avoid weekend days.

    Thanks to John Wiegley for this.

** Exporting

*** Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.5
    :END:

    When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables.

    When set to a formatting string, insert this string.  See the docstring
    of these variable for details about available %-sequences.

    You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same way: `t'
    means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a formatting string
    will insert a string.

*** New exporters to Latin-1 and UTF-8
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    While Ulf Stegemann was going through the entities list to improve the
    LaTeX export, he had the great idea to provide representations for many
    of the entities in Latin-1, and for all of them in UTF-8.  This means
    that we can now export files rich in special symbols to Latin-1 and to
    UTF-8 files.  These new exporters can be reached with the commands =C-c
    C-e n= and =C-c C-e u=, respectively.

    When there is no representation for a given symbol in the targeted
    coding system, you can choose to keep the TeX-macro-like
    representation, or to get an "explanatory" representation.  For
    example, =\simeq= could be represented as "[approx. equal to]".  Please
    use the variable =org-entities-ascii-explanatory= to state your
    preference.

*** HTML export: Add class to outline containers using property
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    The =HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS= property can now be used to add a class name
    to the outline container of a node in HTML export.

*** Throw an error when creating an image from a LaTeX snippet fails
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    This behavior can be configured with the new option variable =org-format-latex-signal-error=.

*** Support for creating BEAMER presentations from Org-mode documents
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.34
    :END:

    Org-mode documents or subtrees can now be converted directly in to
    BEAMER presentation.  Turning a tree into a simple presentations is
    straight forward, and there is also quite some support to make richer
    presentations as well.  See the [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-class-export.html#Beamer-class-export][BEAMER section]] in the manual for more
    details.

    Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the discussion about BEAMER
    support and how it should work.  This was a great example for how this
    community can achieve a much better result than any individual could.

** Refiling

*** Refile targets can now be cached
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.01
    :END:

    You can turn on caching of refile targets by setting the variable =org-refile-use-cache=.  This should speed up refiling if you have many
    eligible targets in many files.  If you need to update the cache
    because Org misses a newly created entry or still offers a deleted one,
    press =C-0 C-c C-w=.

*** New logging support for refiling
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    Whenever you refile an item, a time stamp and even a note can be added
    to this entry.  For details, see the new option =org-log-refile=.

    Thanks to Charles Cave for this idea.

** Completion

*** In-buffer completion is now done using John Wiegleys pcomplete.el
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.4
    :END:

    Thanks to John Wiegley for much of this code.

** Tables

*** New command =org-table-transpose-table-at-point=
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.8
    :END:

    See the docstring.  This hack from Juan Pechiar is now part of Org's
    core.  Thanks to Juan!

*** Display field's coordinates when editing it with =C-c `=
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.7
    :END:

    When editing a field with =C-c `=, the field's coordinate will the
    displayed in the buffer.

    Thanks to Michael Brand for a patch to this effect.

*** Spreadsheet computation of durations and time values
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.6
    :END:

    If you want to compute time values use the =T= flag, either in Calc
    formulas or Elisp formulas:

    | Task 1 | Task 2 |   Total |
    |--------+--------+---------|
    |  35:00 |  35:00 | 1:10:00 |
    #+TBLFM: @2$3=$1+$2;T

    Values must be of the form =[HH:]MM:SS=, where hours are optional.

    Thanks to Martin Halder, Eric Schulte and Carsten for code and feedback
    on this.

*** Implement formulas applying to field ranges
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.5
    :END:

    Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas.

    : A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define
    : row formulas in a way similar to column formulas.  The patch below allows
    : things like
    :
    : @3=
    : @2$2..@5$7=
    : @I$2..@II$4=
    :
    : as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that
    : is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a
    : table.

    Thanks a lot to Carsten for this.

*** Sending radio tables from org buffers is now allowed
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.4
    :END:

    Org radio tables can no also be sent inside Org buffers.  Also, there
    is a new hook which get called after a table has been sent.

    Thanks to Seweryn Kokot.

** Lists

*** Improved handling of lists
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.5
    :END:

    Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists.

    1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in lists. So, some
       text less indented than the previous item doesn't close the whole
       list anymore, only all items more indented than it.

    2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the
       variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical
       counters like [@c] or [@W].

    3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various
       blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are controlling
       this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and `org-list-export-context'.

    4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will keep
       text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text and make
       paragraphs and still not break the list.

    5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with standard
       text, it will change the region into one item. With a prefix
       argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and make every
       line in region an item. It permits to easily integrate paragraphs
       inside a list.

    6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be used
       inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no blank line
       around, without breaking list structure.

    Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this!

** Inline display of linked images
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  6.36
   :END:

   Images can now be displayed inline.  The key C-c C-x C-v does toggle the
   display of such images.  Note that only image links that have no
   description part will be inlined.

** Implement offsets for ordered lists
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  6.36
   :END:

   If you want to start an ordered plain list with a number different from
   1, you can now do it like this:

   : 1. [@start:12] will star a lit a number 12

** Babel: code block body expansion for table and preview
   :PROPERTIES:
   :OrgVersion:  6.36
   :END:

   In org-babel, code is "expanded" prior to evaluation. I.e. the code that
   is actually evaluated comprises the code block contents, augmented with
   the extra code which assigns the referenced data to variables. It is now
   possible to preview expanded contents, and also to expand code during
   during tangling. This expansion takes into account all header arguments,
   and variables.

   A new key-binding `C-c M-b p' bound to `org-babel-expand-src-block' can
   be used from inside of a source code block to preview its expanded
   contents (which can be very useful for debugging).  tangling

   The expanded body can now be tangled, this includes variable values
   which may be the results of other source-code blocks, or stored in
   headline properties or tables. One possible use for this is to allow
   those using org-babel for their emacs initialization to store values
   (e.g. usernames, passwords, etc...) in headline properties or in tables.

   Org-babel now supports three new header arguments, and new default
   behavior for handling horizontal lines in tables (hlines), column names,
   and rownames across all languages.

** Editing Convenience and Appearance

*** New command =org-copy-visible= (=C-c C-x v=)
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.7
    :END:

    This command will copy the visible text in the region into the kill
    ring.  Thanks to Florian Beck for this function and to Carsten for
    adding it to org.el and documenting it!

*** Make it possible to protect hidden subtrees from being killed by =C-k=
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.01
    :END:

    See the new variable =org-ctrl-k-protect-subtree=.  This was a request
    by Scott Otterson.

*** Implement pretty display of entities, sub-, and superscripts.
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.01
    :END:

    The command =C-c C-x \= toggles the display of Org's special entities
    like =\alpha= as pretty unicode characters.  Also, sub and superscripts
    are displayed in a pretty way (raised/lower display, in a smaller
    font).  If you want to exclude sub- and superscripts, see the variable =org-pretty-entities-include-sub-superscripts=.

    Thanks to Eric Schulte and Ulf Stegeman for making this possible.

*** New faces for title, date, author and email address lines
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    The keywords in these lines are now dimmed out, and the title is
    displayed in a larger font, and a special font is also used for author,
    date, and email information.  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.

    Thanks to Dan Davison for this feature.

*** Simpler way to specify faces for tags and todo keywords
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    The variables =org-todo-keyword-faces=, =org-tag-faces=, and =org-priority-faces= now accept simple color names as specifications.
    The colors will be used as either foreground or background color for
    the corresponding keyword.  See also the variable =org-faces-easy-properties=, which governs which face property is
    affected by this setting.

    This is really a great simplification for setting keyword faces.  The
    change is based on an idea and patch by Ryan Thompson.

*** <N> in tables now means fixed width, not maximum width
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    Requested by Michael Brand.

*** Better level cycling function
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END: =TAB= in an empty headline cycles the level of that headline through
    likely states.  Ryan Thompson implemented an improved version of this
    function, which does not depend upon when exactly this command is used.
    Thanks to Ryan for this improvement.

*** Adaptive filling
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    For paragraph text, =org-adaptive-fill-function= did not handle the
    base case of regular text which needed to be filled.  This is now
    fixed.  Among other things, it allows email-style ">" comments to be
    filled correctly.

    Thanks to Dan Hackney for this patch.

*** `org-reveal' (=C-c C-r=) also decrypts encrypted entries (org-crypt.el)
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    Thanks to Richard Riley for triggering this change.

*** Better automatic letter selection for TODO keywords
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    When all first letters of keywords have been used, Org now assigns more
    meaningful characters based on the keywords.

    Thanks to Mikael Fornius for this patch.

** Clocking

*** Clock: Allow synchronous update of timestamps in CLOCK log
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.7
    :END:

    Using =S-M-<up/down>= on CLOCK log timestamps will increase/decrease
    the two timestamps on this line so that duration will keep the same.
    Note that duration can still be slightly modified in case a timestamp
    needs some rounding.

    Thanks to Rainer Stengele for this idea.

*** Localized clock tables
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.5
    :END:

    Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing the user
    to customize the localization of the table headers.  See the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls available
    translated strings.

*** Show clock overruns in mode line
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    When clocking an item with a planned effort, overrunning the planned
    time is now made visible in the mode line, for example using the new
    face =org-mode-line-clock-overrun=, or by adding an extra string given
    by =org-task-overrun-text=.

    Thanks to Richard Riley for a patch to this effect.

*** Clock reports can now include the running, incomplete clock
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    If you have a clock running, and the entry being clocked falls into the
    scope when creating a clock table, the time so far spent can be added
    to the total.  This behavior depends on the setting of =org-clock-report-include-clocking-task=.  The default is =nil=.

    Thanks to Bernt Hansen for this useful addition.

** Misc

*** Improvements with inline tasks and indentation
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.4
    :END:

    There is now a configurable way on how to export inline tasks.  See the
    new variable =org-inlinetask-export-templates=.

    Thanks to Nicolas Goaziou for coding these changes.

*** A property value of "nil" now means to unset a property
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  7.01
    :END:

    This can be useful in particular with property inheritance, if some
    upper level has the property, and some grandchild of it would like to
    have the default settings (i.e. not overruled by a property) back.

    Thanks to Robert Goldman and Bernt Hansen for suggesting this change.

*** New helper functions in org-table.el
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    There are new functions to access and write to a specific table field.
    This is for hackers, and maybe for the org-babel people.

    #+begin_example
    org-table-get
    org-table-put
    org-table-current-line
    org-table-goto-line
    #+end_example

*** Archiving: Allow to reverse order in target node
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    The new option =org-archive-reversed-order= allows to have archived
    entries inserted in a last-on-top fashion in the target node.

    This was requested by Tom.

*** Org-reveal: Double prefix arg shows the entire subtree of the parent
    :PROPERTIES:
    :OrgVersion:  6.35
    :END:

    This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produced for example
    by viewing from the agenda.

    This was a request by Matt Lundin.
