Org has been part of Emacs for quite a long time already. However, as you notice, Org shipped with Emacs (8.2.10) is lagging behind current stable release (8.3.5). As a data point, Org 8.3 was released more than one year ago, and 8.3.5 differs from 8.2.10 by 2700+ commit. More importantly, bugs reported on 8.2.10 are unlikely to be fixed. This patch adds Org current stable release. However, a new release is going to be shipped on Monday. Also, this is without the third party "contrib/" directory. We can provide that also (license is still gpl3+) if needed. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou 0x80A93738
