Here's a little patch that allows exporting a table from
any buffer (org-mode version 6.28trans):
Changing the priority of a task when the point is after the heading
(anywhere inside the task) worked but aligning the tags failed with
a "not on a heading" error due to the save-excursion not including
the tag alignment. This change moves back to the heading and
includes that during tag alignment to remove the error text.

Write \n instead of \xa in the regexp, this is clearer.
And make the \n optional so that also lines at the end of
the buffers will still be matched as headlines.
A relative row reference like @-1 in a table may now reach across a
horizontal separator line. I hope this will not break any important
tables out there, but I think it is the right thing to do.
The original reason for not-crossing was to implement running
averages of one column in the next. This can now be done using field
formulas near the beginning and end of the column, and a column
formula for the central part.
See the variable `org-table-relative-ref-may-cross-hline' for more
details.
Emacs recently (when?) changed the abbreviated format for days.
The clock was confused when trying to mach this format. This patch
by Nicolas Goaziou fixes it.

This commit defines three new functions in org-timer.el:
- org-timer-set-timer, bound to `C-c C-x ;' in Org buffers
and to `;' in Org agenda buffers. This function sets a
timer for the headline the cursor is currently it. Up to
three timers can be set.
- org-timer-show-remaining-time: this shows the remaining
time for the last set timer.
- org-timer-reset-timers: this reset all timers.
This functionality was requested by Samuel Wales and emulates
that of tea-time.el -- see the emacswiki doc about tea-time.el:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/tea-time
When org-provide-todo-statistics is set to 'all-headlines, the
statistics are performed against all headlines, including those
with no TODO keyword.
This was requested by David A. Gershman.
Using :timetamp t as an option in a clock report now allows
insertion of the timestamp for the clocked entry. Timestamps
are searched for in this order: SCHEDULING, TIMESTAMP, DEADLINE
and TIMESTAMP_IA.
Allow whitespace in code references. Allow the -r switch to remove the
references in the source code even when the lines are not numbered: the
labels can be explicit enough. Note that "-r -k" is the same than no
switch - as expected.
Thanks to Ulf Stegemann for bring this up.
Non-nil means modify the regexp in org-set-font-lock-defaults so
that headlines are fontified till the end of the line. This is
useful when setting a background color for the org-level-* faces.
This defaults to nil so that the old behavior is preserved.
This option lets the user customize the notification mechanism.
For example, she might want to use todochiku.el.
This option defaults to nil, hence doesn't change the previous
behavior: if the program notify-send is installed on the system,
use it, and falls back on using (message [notification]) if not.
For this we took another look at when drawers actually have to be
hidden again and found that CONTENTS view does not need it, and that
CHILDREN view only needs it before the first child.
The second speed-up comes from advising outline-end-of-subtree to use
the Org version when in org-mode.
The third speed-up comes from using a better way to find the next
visible line, using `next-single-char-property-change'.
Finally, `org-forward-same-level' and `org-backward-same-level' are
faster versions of their outline equivalents and are now bound to
`C-c C-f' and `C-c C-b'.
This was a proposal by Samuel Wales. After the user selected a
refiles target, we make sure that the fully qualified target is in the
history, so that next time, UP will bring back exactly this target.
Before this patch the completion mechanism was this: TAB let's you
complete through link prefixes (gnus: file: bbdb: ...) then RET allows
completion if a completion mechanism is available for the chosen prefix.
Navigating through the history of stored links was a separate process,
available through the up/down M-n/M-p keys.
Now TAB not only completes through link prefixes but also through stored
links. This behavior matches other Emacs completion mechanisms a bit
more closely.
If you have a TODO keyword like "DELEGATED" and an entry like
"* Delegated this stuff to X", then you want this entry to be
in the list of possible targets. For that we need to distinguish
between DELEGATED as a keyword and "Delegated" as a simple word,
so (case-fold-search nil) seems relevant.
This default to t, so the default behavior of org-mode doesn't
change. But the user might want to keep at least one blank line
at the end of the remembered subtree, this option lets her do it.
This hook is called in org-clock-in earlier than the existing
org-clock-in-hook. This is useful for functions that need to
modify the Effort property, for example.
`org-export-latex-first-lines' was rather stupid and would
discard the end of the region with the region was active.
Thanks to Holst Thomas for this bug report.

When changing the publishing setup, old timestamp files can be left
behind. Forcing publishing of all projects with `C-u C-c C-e E'
will remove all existing timestamp files.
Many different people want to set many different variables in a
buffer-local way for export. This cannot be done with file variables,
because the Org buffer is not current while the exporter is running.
Lots of variables can be set with the #+OPTIONS lines, but finding
abbreviations goes only so far.
Therefore we have now a general mechanism that can be used to bind
variables during export operations.
a line like: #+BIND: variable value
will bind the variable to value. For example,
the line
>> #+OPTIONS: toc:nil
can now equivalently be written as
>> #+BIND: org-export-with-toc nil

This commits adds the variable
`org-list-demote-modify-bullet' for this purpose.

Customize the new variable org-footnote-auto-adjust or use the STARTUP
option fnadjust to get automatic renumbering and sorting of footnotes
after each insertion/deletion.
This commit implements better support for publishing the same file in
multiple ways. For example when publishing a Org file both as HTML
and as a plain text or htmlized source file.
It does this by including information about the target directory and
about the publishing function used into the hash that is used as a
file name to keep a time stamp.
Agenda bulk commands on marked entries now can also set the scheduling
date or a deadline. Normally, all entries will be set to the
specified date. However, when writing the change as "++5d" or "++2w",
then each time stamp will independently be shifted by that amount.
This commit adds a new action to the footnote actions:
It allows to renumber footnote marks that have the simple form
fn:N where N is a number. After this action, numbers will start from
1 and increase through the document.
TAB now cycles visibility in plain lists if the cursor is in a plain
list. This corresponds now to the new default value `t' of
`org-cycle-include-plain-lists'. If you want to treat plain list
items as part of the outline hierarchy during cycling of outline
headings (this is what a `t' value used to mean), set this variable to
`integrate'.
- test on line 312 failed because these methods returned a string instead
of a buffer
- requesting 'wget actually executed "curl", with bad parameters
- curl needs --silent, so that progress messages don't interrupt content
- atom parser had code to skip HTTP headers, but these are present only
when using url-retrieve-synchronously; caused errors with curl/wget.
Instead, remove HTTP headers right after feed buffer is populated.
Some propel process LaTeX filed not directly to pdf, but go
through dvi and then to ps or pdf. In that case, allowed images
are ps and eps files, not pdf and jpg.
This commit adds the two extensions, so that export using that
alternative path can be supported better. However, it is up to the
user to make sure that the images are actually compatible with the
backend.

This behavior is a loft-over from the old days, and I am changing
this now.
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.
