Now you can set :stepskip0 to achieve this.

This behavior is now parallel to the treatment of outline nodes.
This commit also introduces another change. When an outline node or a
plain list item is folded by outline and contains hidden children,
M-left/right will refuse to act on this item. You must either open
the tree, or use the subtree commands M-S-left and M-S-right.
Based on a patch by Matti De Craene, but significantly modified after
a discussion involving Bernt Hansen and others.
The target state can now be fixed locally with the REPEAT_TO_STATE
property, or globally with the variable `org-todo-repeat-to-state'.
This was a request by John Wiegley.
source-code-chapter.texi is just reference.org with level 1 headings
replaced with @section, and level 2 headings replaced with
@subsection, and with a top level @chapter node. This file is included
in org.texi with an @include line for now.
This new code will search #+INDEX lines in the buffer. For LaTeX, it
will simple convert these into LaTeX \index{} commands. For other
backends, it will copy thee entries to a new file, with extension
orgx. These files can then later be post-processed to create the index.

This support was totally broken. It works now again. Unfortunately
it is not possible to edit the table directly in the org-mode buffer
anymore - to edit such a table, you have to use C-c '
This patch implements reading American dates, like
2/5/3 --> 2003-02-05
2/5 --> ????-02-05
Is also fixes a bug that would force the current year when reading a
date like 2/5 (American) or 2-5 (ISO), and in this way would prevent
`org-read-date-prefer-future' to do its job. This bug was reported by
Lukasz Stelmach.
This can help to get out of an inconsistent state produce for example
by viewing from the agenda. Reported by Matt Lundin:

Add a variable org-complete-tags-always-offer-all-agenda-tags, which makes org
complete all tags from all agenda files if non-nil. Usually, setting it
locally to t in org-remember buffers is most convenient.

The following keys now do archiving
C-c C-x C-a archive using the command specified in
`org-archive-default-command'
This variable is by default set to `org-archive-subtree', which means
arching to the archive file.
The three specific archiving commands are available through
C-c C-x C-s archive to archive file
C-c C-x a toggle the archive tag
C-c C-x A move to archive sibling
These bindings work the same in an Org file, and in the agenda.
In addition:
- In the agenda you can also use `a' to call the default archiving
command, but you need to confirm the command with `y' so that this
cannot easily happen by accident.
- For backward compatibility, `C-c $' in an org-mode file, and `$' in
the agenda buffer continue to archive to archive file.
Now the recommendation is to use clock persistence only for the
history, and to use John's code for resolving a clock that has been
idle (either because the user stopped working or exited Emacs).
org-habit.el: New file, which implements code to build a "habit
consistency graph".
org-agenda.el (org-agenda-get-deadlines)
(org-agenda-get-scheduled): Display consistency graphs when outputting
habits into the agenda. The graphs are always relative to the current
time.
(org-format-agenda-item): Added new parameter `habitp', which indicates
whether we are formatting a habit or not. Do not display "extra"
leading information if habitp is true.
(org-agenda-auto-exclude-function): New customization variable for
allowing the user to create an "auto exclusion" filter for doing
context-aware auto tag filtering.
(org-agenda-filter-by-tag): Changes to support the use of
`org-agenda-auto-exclude-function'. See the new manual addition,.
See the new manual section on "Resolving idle time".
(org-clock-resolve-clock): If keeping or subtracting time results in a
clock out at a time in the past, and if the resolution occurred due to
idleness or invoking `M-x org-resolve-clocks', remember that past moment
in time. On the next clock in, the user will be prompted to see if they
want to back-date their new clock to then.
(org-clock-resolve): Do not jump the user to the location of a dangling
clock if the resolution is occuring due to an idle timeout. In that
case there is typically only one dangling clock, the active one, and
there is no value gained by shuffling their windows around to show it to
them. Being prompted to resolve an idle clock should be as inobtrusive
as possible.
(org-resolve-clocks-if-idle): New function that resolves only the
currently active clock if the user has exceeded the time returned by
`org-user-idle-seconds', based on the value of `org-clock-idle-time'.
(org-clock-in): If, after resolving clocks,
(org-clock-out): Cancel the `org-clock-idle-timer' on clock out.
This file should be with the other org files, and not in the staging
area. Also, when file names in mobileorg.org are interpreted, this
should be relative to org-directory. So we also require now that the
user set this variable.
The default in search view is not that the search expression is
searched for as a substring, i.e. the different words must occur in
direct sequence. The old way is only used it the first word in
the search string is preceded by a plus or a minus.
This was, more-or-less, requested by John Wiegley.
The reorganizes parts of the manual. The Archiving stuff has been
moved into the new chapter "Capture-Refile-Archive". Also, there is a
new chapter "Markup" to contains both the markup rules (moved there
from the Export chapter) and the embedded LaTeX stuff.

This is now possible, but it is not the default. You need to set
(setq org-read-date-prefer-future 'time)
The new variable org-mobile-files can now be configured to include
non-agenda files into the staging area for MobileOrg. Furthermore,
files that are located in a subdirectory of `org-directory' will also
end up in a sub-directory in the staging area.

The width and alignment in table columns can be set with a cookie like
"<10>" or "<r>" or "<r10>". In order to keep Org from exporting such
lines, the first column of a line can contain only "/". However, for
convenience, this commit implements a special case: If the entire row
contains only sch markers, the line will automatically be discarded
during export.
The new keys are b and f. This used to be on the cursor keys, but
they do now again do cursor motion.
This is a significant change in the UI, I hope this will not cause too
many problems.
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.
