I am working with the latest git version (master branch) on Windows running Emacs 25.1.1 $ git describe release_9.1.14-1065-gdc7477070 (currently 2 commits behind master since I haven't updated today) > > 2.

There were some changes: - dropping org-structure_template_alist and temporarily using org-tempo. Sinc then I've switched to C-c , which is much better. - org-time-clocksum-format -> org-duration-format - refile changes (use caching) - change time grid definition in agenda - org-finalize-agenda-hook -> org-agenda-finalize-hook > > 3. Can you suggest a more detailed manual on the setup and use of > Agendas? The agenda manual with Org is not really clear to me. I am not aware of any other manuals. When I started I used the out-of-the-box org-mode agendas (daily, weekly, separate task lists) and then when I was comfortable with how that worked I started making small customizations so they worked better for me and this eventually turned into the setup described on my website.
