+*** New faces to improve the contextuality of Org agenda views
+
+Four new faces improve certain styles and offer more flexibility for
+some Org agenda views: ~org-agenda-date-weekend-today~,
+~org-imminent-deadline~, ~org-agenda-structure-secondary~,
+~org-agenda-structure-filter~. They inherit from existing faces in
+order to remain backward-compatible.
+
+Quoting from [[https://list.orgmode.org/87lf7q7gpq.fsf@protesilaos.com/][this thread]]:
+
+#+begin_quote
++ The 'org-imminent-deadline' is useful to disambiguate generic
+ warnings from deadlines. For example, a warning could be rendered
+ in a yellow colored text and have a bold weight, whereas a deadline
+ might be red and styled with italics.
+
++ The 'org-agenda-structure-filter' applies to all tag/term filters
+ in agenda views that search for keywords or patterns. It is
+ designed to inherit from 'org-agenda-structure' in addition to the
+ 'org-warning' face that was present before (and removes the
+ generic 'warning' face from one place). This offers the benefit
+ of consistency, as, say, an increase in font height or a change in
+ font family in 'org-agenda-structure' will propagate to the filter
+ as well. The whole header line thus looks part of a singular
+ design.
+
++ The 'org-agenda-structure-secondary' complements the above for those
+ same views where a description follows the header. For instance, the
+ tags view provides information to "Press N r" to filter by a
+ numbered tag. Themes/users may prefer to disambiguate this line
+ from the header above it, such as by using a less intense color or by
+ reducing its height relative to the 'org-agenda-structure'.
+
++ The 'org-agenda-date-weekend-today' provides the option to
+ differentiate the current date on a weekend from the current date on
+ weekdays.
+#+end_quote

*** New option ~org-clock-ask-before-exiting~
By default, a function is now added to ~kill-emacs-query-functions~
