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.
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.

This module implements inline tasks in Org-mode. Inline tasks are
tasks that have all the properties of normal outline nodes, including
the ability to store meta data like scheduling dates, TODO state, tags
and properties. However, these nodes are treated specially by the
visibility cycling and export commands.
RefTeX can now be used to create a citation in Org-mode buffers.
Setup the buffer with #+BIBLIOGRAPHY: bibbase style
and create citations with `C-c C-x ['.

Patch by Chris fixes this problem.

This is indeed a bug. The all to `org-get-tags-at' does change the
match data if there is a match for the inheritance regexp. This
problem is now avoided by first extracting (match-string 1), and then
getting the tags.
Studying this bug also exposed another one, namely that file tags are
not marked as inherited tags. This is now fixed, immediately when
the #+FILETAGS line is parsed.
