Hi

I am releasing Org version 6.08.  The biggest news is the integration of
John Wiegley's attachment system that allows to keep a directory with  
file
attachments for each entry.  Great stuff.

As usually, you can get the release through GIT, or at http://orgmode.org

Enjoy!

Changes in Version 6.08
=======================

Incompatible changes
====================

The default structure of IDs has changed
----------------------------------------

     IDs created by Org have changed a bit:
     - By default, there is no prefix on the ID.  There used to be
       an "Org" prefix, but I now think this is not necessary.
     - IDs use only lower-case letters, no upper-case letters
       anymore.  The reason for this is that IDs are now also used
       as directory names for org-attach, and some systems do not
       distinguish upper and lower case in the file system.
     - The ID string derived from the current time is now /reversed/
       to become an ID.  This assures that the first two letters
       of the ID change fast, so hat it makes sense to split them
       off to create subdirectories to balance load.
     - You can now set the `org-id-method' to `uuidgen' on systems
       which support it.

C-c C-a no longer calls `show-all'
----------------------------------

    The reason for this is that C-c C-a is now used for the
    attachment system.  On the rare occasions that this
    command is needed, use `M-x show-all', or `C-u C-u C-u TAB'.

Details

New attachment system
---------------------

     You can now attach files to each node in the outline tree.
     This works by creating special directories based on the ID of
     an entry, and storing files in these directories.  Org can
     keep track of changes to the attachments by automatically
     committing changes to git.  See the manual for more
     information.

     Thanks to John Wiegley who contributed this fantastic new
     concept and wrote org-attach.el to implement it.

New remember template escapes
-----------------------------

      %^{prop}p   to insert a property
      %k          the heading of the item currently being clocked
      %K          a link to the heading of the item currently being  
clocked

     Also, when you exit remember with `C-2 C-c C-c', the item
     will be filed as a child of the item currently being
     clocked.  So the idea is, if you are working on something and
     think of a new task related to this or a new note to be
     added, you can use this to quickly add information to that
     task.

     Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.

Clicking with mouse-2 on clock info in mode-line visits the clock.
------------------------------------------------------------------

     Thanks to James TD Smith for a patch to this effect.

New file in contrib: lisp/org-checklist.el
------------------------------------------

     This module deals with repeated tasks that have checkbox
     lists below them.

     Thanks to James TD Smith for this contribution.

New in-buffer setting #+STYLE
-----------------------------

     It can be used to locally set the variable
     `org-export-html-style-extra'.  Several such lines are
     allowed-, they will all be concatenated.  For an example on
     how to use it, see the publishing tutorial.
