Hi,
Moving from an emacs with an old org-mode (6.33) to the latest stable one currently (8.3.2), I noticed two changes which made me out of my comfort area.
- Demoting/promoting a header now changes the indentation of text below.
I reverted to the previous mode with '(setf org-adapt-indentation nil)' in ~/.emacs, and that's fine but I mentioned it in case it has an impact on point#2.
- 'M-x fill-region' does not fill custom lists as before. In the previous version, I could select and fill several mixed paragraphs/lists directly. For example, filling the following block (without --- separator added as a delimiter in this message)
---------------
# a very looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong comment
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence that should be filled over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be filled over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be filled over 2 lines
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence that should be filled over 2 lines
---------------
resulted in (version 6.33):
---------------
# a very looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong comment
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence
that should be filled over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be filled
over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be
filled over 2 lines
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence
that should be filled over 2 lines

and now results in (version 8.3.2):
---------------
# a very looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong comment
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence
that should be filled over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be filled over 2 lines
- a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong item that should be filled over 2 lines
a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong sentence
that should be filled over 2 lines

Lists are not filled anymore and I have to select each list entry and fill it individually to get the same output.
So my questions are:
- Is there any simple way to revert to the previous mode with a variable?
- Else, could you explain briefly where I should look if I want to understand why the filling is skipped in this case, and eventually change it if I cannot change my mind and adapt to this different behavior? I had a look at function (org.el:23249 org-setup-filling) but I am not sure this is the right location.
