** Incompatible Changes
*** Customizable variable changes for DocBook exporter
*** Emacs 21 support has been dropped
To make it more flexible for users to provide DocBook exporter
related commands, we start to use format-spec to format the
commands in this release. If you use DocBook exporter and use it
to export Org files to PDF and/or FO format, the settings of the
following two customizable variables need to be changed:
Do not use Org mode 7.xx with Emacs 21, use an older version, for
example [[http://orgmode.org/org-6.36c.zip][version 6.36c]].
1. =org-export-docbook-xslt-proc-command=
2. =org-export-docbook-xsl-fo-proc-command=
*** XEmacs support requires the XEmacs development version
Instead of using =%s= in the format control string for all
arguments, now we use /three/ different format spec characters:
1. =%i=: input file argument
2. =%o=: output file argument
3. =%s=: XSLT stylesheet argument
For example, if you set =org-export-docbook-xslt-proc-command= to
: java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -o %s %s /path/to/docbook.xsl
in the past, now you need to change it to
: java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -o %o %i %s
and set a new customizable variable called
=org-export-docbook-xslt-stylesheet= to =/path/to/docbook.xsl=.
Please check the documentation of these two variables for more
details and other examples.
Along with the introduction of variable
=org-export-docbook-xslt-stylesheet=, we also added a new
in-buffer setting called =#+XSLT:=. You can use this setting to
specify the XSLT stylesheet that you want to use on a per-file
basis. This setting overrides
=org-export-docbook-xslt-stylesheet=.
To use Org mode 7.xx with XEmacs, you need to run the developer
version of XEmacs. I was 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.

** Details
*** Org Babel is now part of the Org core
See [[#ob-configuration-changes][Org-babel configuration changes]] for instructions on how to
update your babel configuration.
The most significant result of this change is that Babel now has
documentation! It is part of Org-mode's documentation, see
Chapter 14 [[http://orgmode.org/manual/Working-with-source-code.html#Working-with-source-code][Working With Source Code]]. The Babel keybindings
are now listed in the refcard, and can be viewed from any
Org-mode buffer by pressing =C-c C-v h=. In addition this
integration has included a number of bug fixes, and a significant
amount of internal code cleanup.
*** Help system for finding entities
The new command =M-x org-entities-help= creates a structured
buffer that lists all entities available in Org. Thanks to Ulf
Stegeman for adding the necessary structure to the internal
entity list.
*** Implement pretty display of sub- and superscripts.
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. 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.
*** The default capture system for Org mode is now called org-capture
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 make available
[[http://orgmode.org/org-remember.pdf][a static copy of theformer chapter about remember]].

manual, only =org-capture= is described in detail. For people who

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