The variable `org-refile-target-verify-function' can be set to a
function that will be called to verify a refile target. The function
must return t if the target is valid.
Users can now define custom IDs for use in HTML export.
These IDs are stores as property CUSTOM_ID. When present, HTML will
prefer using these over automatic targets like "sec-N.M".

These problems were caused by a regular expression for
matching latex macros with arguments, that did not allow any
newlines. Now we have a much better regexp, that even
allows for three levels of nested braces.
If the heading field in the remember template entry is either `top' or
`bottom', it is now OK to file to a file that is not in org mode, and
the content of the remember buffer is inserted without forcing an
Org-style header.

Standard references like A1 are now allowed in call to
remote().

This commit makes sure that references inside calls to
remote() are not touched.
sha1-string is not autoloaded in sha1.el as in the version distributed
with Emacs 22. Instead of relying on autoloads, the sha1 library is
now required by org-feed.el.
When refiling, you can now create new parent nodes on the fly. To do
this, set the variable `org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes' to
`confirm'. Then, at a refiling prompt, proceed with completion until
you have an existing heading, and then add "/new heading", i.e. a
slash followed by the new heading. That heading will be created as a
child of the existing heading, and the entry to be refiled will end up
under that new heading.
New wrapper span around keyword plus time stamp, with class
timestamp-wrapper.
.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.
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.
