Avoid closing the currently clocking entry when clocking in the same task
again. Leave the clock entry open until some other task is clocked in.
This allows us to clock in tasks with hooks that are called frequently without
generating lots of short sequential clock entries for the same task.

If there was a title set for a column, org-agenda-colview-summarize would look
for the title instead of the property, resulting in empty summaries. This is now
fixed.

Make org-agenda-columns-summarize work properly with the new summary types.
It was assuming the values should be summarised by adding them together. It's
now updated to use the summary functions in org-columns-compile-map, and also
handles summary types with calculated values properly.
Leave calculated columns blank if there is no underlying value.
Don't return zero if a property is missing.
Changes are also applied to xemacs colview.
Exporting drawers was not really supported, now it is.
Drawers that are selected for export are formatted using the function
specified in the variable `org-export-format-drawer-function'. If
that is nil, the default `org-export-format-drawer' will publish the
drawer as a colon example, i.e. verbatim and in fixed-width.

Saving the edit buffer is achieved by calling org-edit-src-exit,
saving the org buffer and returning to the edit buffer with
org-edit-src-code. When those two functions are used in this context,
they should not attempt to restore the saved window configuration, nor
alter the saved window configuration.

This lets you see how long has passed since the specified timestamp property
each entry. The three operators (@min, @max, @mean) show either the age of the
youngest or oldest entry or the average age of the children.

This bug resulted from a recent patch which made a prefix arg of 2 to
mean refile to the clock. However, I forgot to actually test the
value of the prefix arg...

Hmm, maybe the outline behavior of hide-subtree has changed???
Anyway, we now just use our own function for this.

RET will only do this if the cursor is on the link and
`org-return-follows-link' is set. `C-c C-o' will work anywhere in the
line.
Requested by Chris Leyon.
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 (org-habit-get-priority): A new function that determines
the relative priority of a habit, based on how long past its scheduled
date it is, and how near the deadline is.
org-agenda.el (org-agenda-get-scheduled): Set habit priority using
`org-habit-get-priority'.
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-repeat-re): Improved regexp to include .+ and ++ leaders for repeat
strings.
(org-get-repeat): Now takes a string parameter `tagline', so the caller
can obtain the SCHEDULED repeat, or the DEADLINE repeat.
(org-clock-disable-clock-resolution): New customization variable that
disable automatic clock resolution on clock in.
(org-clock-in): If `org-clock-disable-clock-resolution' is set, do not
automatically resolve anything. This is does not affect idle-time
resolution, however, if `org-clock-idle-time' is set.
(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.
(org-clock-resolve-clock): New function that resolves a clock to a
specific time, closing or resuming as need be, and possibly even
starting a new clock.
(org-clock-resolve): New function used by `org-resolve-clocks' that sets
up for the call to `org-clock-resolve-clock'. It determines the time to
resolve to based on a single-character selection from the user to either
keep time, subtract away time or cancel the clock.
(org-resolve-clocks): New user command which resolves dangling clocks --
that is, open but not active -- anywhere in the file list returned by
`org-files-list'.
(org-clock-in): Automatically resolve dangling clocks whenever a user
clocks in.
(org-clock-cancel): If the user cancels the solely clock in a LOGBOOK,
remove the empty drawer.
(org-clock-idle-time): New user customizable option for detecting
whether the user has left a clock idle. Note: it is only used in this
commit to test whether it's worthwhile to check OS X to get the Mac
user's current idle time. If the Emacs idle time is less than the
value, the user hasn't been away long enough to be worth checking (a
more expensive test than just getting Emacs idle time).
(org-user-idle-seconds, org-mac-idle-seconds)
(org-emacs-idle-seconds): This three functions, in conjunction
with the user customization variable `org-clock-idle-time', return
the number of seconds (as a floating point) that the user has been
away from their Emacs (or, if running on OS X, their computer).
(org-find-open-clocks): New function that returns a list of all open
clocks in the given FILE. Note that each clock it returns is a cons
cell of the format (MARKER . START-TIME). This "clock" value is used by
several of the new clock module utility functions.
(org-is-active-clock): New inline function which tests whether the given
clock value is the same as the currently active clock. Returns non-nil
if this is the case.
(org-with-clock-position): New macro that evaluates FORMS with point in
the buffer and at the position of the given clock. Changes to the
current clock are global.
(org-with-clock): New macro that evaluates FORMS with point in the
buffer and at the position of the given clock. However, changes to the
current clock are local and have no effect on the user's active clock.
This allows, for example, far any clock to be cancelled without
cancelling the active clock.
(org-clock-clock-in): New inline function that switches the active clock
to the given clock. If either the argument RESUME, or the global
`org-clock-in-resume', are non-nil, it will resume a clock that was
previously left open.
(org-clock-clock-out): New inline function that clocks out the given
clock value without affecting the currently active clock.
(org-clock-clock-cancel): New inline function that cancels the given
clock value without affecting the currently active clock.
(org-clock-out): Accept new third parameter `at-time', which permits a
clock to be clocked out at a specific time. Note that no attempt is
made to verify that the clock out time is later than the clock in time.
(org-files-list): New utility function for returning a list of all open
org-mode buffers, plus all files used to build the agenda buffer. Note
that not all the files will necessarily be visited by a buffer at time
of call.
(org-entry-beginning-position): Like the function
`line-beginning-position', this inline function returns the beginning
position of the current heading/entry.
(org-entry-end-position): Like the function `line-end-position', this
inline function returns the end position of the current heading/entry.
(org-clock-idle-time): New user customizable option for detecting
whether the user has left a clock idle. Note: it is only used in this
commit to test whether it's worthwhile to check OS X to get the Mac
user's current idle time. If the Emacs idle time is less than the
value, the user hasn't been away long enough to be worth checking (a

(org-user-idle-seconds, org-mac-idle-seconds)
(org-emacs-idle-seconds): This three functions, in conjunction
with the user customization variable `org-clock-idle-time', return
the number of seconds (as a floating point) that the user has been
away from their Emacs (or, if running on OS X, their computer).

`org-clock-in-resume', are non-nil, it will resume a clock that was
previously left open.
(org-clock-clock-out): New inline function that clocks out the given

(org-clock-clock-cancel): New inline function that cancels the given
clock value without affecting the currently active clock.
(org-clock-out): Accept new third parameter `at-time', which permits a
clock to be clocked out at a specific time. Note that no attempt is
made to verify that the clock out time is later than the clock in time.
(org-files-list): New utility function for returning a list of all open
org-mode buffers, plus all files used to build the agenda buffer. Note
that not all the files will necessarily be visited by a buffer at time
of call.
(org-entry-beginning-position): Like the function
`line-beginning-position', this inline function returns the beginning
position of the current heading/entry.
(org-entry-end-position): Like the function `line-end-position', this
inline function returns the end position of the current heading/entry.
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.
When a backend selects its #+begin_backend ... #+end_backend
code, the markers need to be removed so that a package like
org-special-blocks.el does not try to work on the block again.

This is now possible, but it is not the default. You need to set
(setq org-read-date-prefer-future 'time)

Indeed, a space before the caret was not allowed in LaTeX export

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.

Many agenda commands split the current window, which is not allowed on
a frame containing a dedicated window.
Therefore, we now just kill the frame by hand when exiting the agenda.

So far the headline had to match the one specified in the template
