Details ======= - A new special column definition lists the sum of all CLOCK entries in a subtree. For example #+COLUMNS: %20ITEM %10Time_Estimate{:} %CLOCKSUM will allow you to compare estimated times (as given in the Time_Estimate property) with the clocked times. This was a request by Bernt Hansen. - Storing remember notes can now use the `org-refile' interface instead of the `org-goto' interface (see the variable `org-remember-use-refile-when-interactive'). Nothing will change if the note is stored immediately after pressing `C-c C-c' in the `*Remember*' buffer. But if you have chosen (e.g. by pressing `C-u C-c C-c') to interactively select the filing location (file and headline), the refile interface will be used instead. I am excited about this change, because the `org-goto' interface is basically a failure, at least for this application. Note that in any case the refile interface has to be configured first by customizing `org-refile-targets'. - Notes inserted with remember now remove any whitespace before and after the note before being pasted, so that there will be no empty lines inserted together with the note. We could invent special syntax in remember templates to allow creating empty lines before a note - is there anyone who'd want this? - Moving subtrees now folds all siblings of the subtree. This is the only reasonably simple way I could find to avoid the reported inconsistencies in the folding state of the outline tree after moving entries. There are reasons to like this new behavior, because it easily visualizes where the tree is located after the move. Still, not everyone might be happy with this. Massive complaining would be needed to make me fix this. - New variable `org-agenda-todo-keyword-format' to specify the width of the TODO keyword field in the agenda display. Use it to get things to line up better. This was a proposal by Rainer Stengele. - If a link description inserted with `C-c C-l' contains brackets, the brackets will now be converted into curly braces. This looks similar enough. Supporting brackets in link descriptions is, for technical reasons too long to explain here, complex. - The new option `org-clock-in-switch-to-state' can be set to a TODO state that will be enforced when the clock is started on an entry. This follows an idea by Sacha Chua. - The EXPORT_FILE_NAME property may now also be an absolute file name, and it may contain abbreviations like "~" for the users home directory. This was requested by Adam Spiers. - Bug fixes, lots of them.
