Even though I stay at the shallow end of the org-mode pool, using it mostly for note taking, I've already noticed some subtle improvements in usability. My compliments to the chefs. -- Le

Re: [O] Release 7.5
Indeed, congrats to Bastien and all! One question: I'm using the new export stuff from org-jambu (git master branch); any idea when Jambunathan will rebase or merge with this?

The plan is to work together on this and try to have something merged for the next release. But devil is in the details -- we don't really know what something stands for now.

[O] Release 7.5
Dear all, here it is, release 7.5, my first release as Org's new maintainer. This release comes with lots of new features, bug fixes, and fun. Special thanks to everyone who helped for this work: it's becoming hard to mention all the contributors, whether it be ideas, feedback or code, and sorry in advance if I forgot some names. Also don't forget the website now comes with a flatter button, on top of the paypal donation link. Spread the world! As always: *Enjoy* :) Version 7.5 Incompatible changes = Code block variable initialized with Emacs Lisp code in tables and lists ~ It is no longer possible to assign code block variables using executable Emacs Lisp statements contained in tables or lists. As per the following example. (a b c) $data Thanks to Vladimir Alexiev for raising this issue. `org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist' has changed Please check the docstring and update your settings accordingly. New features and user-visible improvements === Implement formulas applying to field ranges Carsten implemented this field-ranges formulas. A frequently requested feature for tables has been to be able to define row formulas in a way similar to column formulas. The patch below allows things like @3= @2$2..@5$7= @I$2..@II$4= as the left hand side for table formulas in order to write a formula that is valid for an entire column or for a rectangular section in a table. Thanks a lot to Carsten for this. Improved handling of lists ~~~ Nicolas Goaziou extended and improved the way Org handles lists. 1. Indentation of text determines again end of items in lists. So, some text less indented than the previous item doesn't close the whole list anymore, only all items more indented than it. 2. Alphabetical bullets are implemented, through the use of the variable `org-alphabetical-lists'. This also adds alphabetical counters like or . 3. Lists can now safely contain drawers, inline tasks, or various blocks, themselves containing lists. Two variables are controlling this: `org-list-forbidden-blocks', and `org-list-export-context'. 4. Improve `newline-and-indent' (C-j): used in an item, it will keep text from moving at column 0. This allows to split text and make paragraphs and still not break the list. 5. Improve `org-toggle-item' (C-c -): used on a region with standard text, it will change the region into one item. With a prefix argument, it will fallback to the previous behavior and make every line in region an item. It permits to easily integrate paragraphs inside a list. 6. `fill-paragraph' (M-q) now understands lists. It can freely be used inside items, or on text just after a list, even with no blank line around, without breaking list structure. Thanks a lot to Nicolas for all this! Modified link escaping ~~~ David Maus worked on `org-link-escape'. See [his message]: Percent escaping is used in Org mode to escape certain characters in links that would either break the parser (e.g. square brackets in link target oder description) or are not allowed to appear in a particular link type (e.g. non-ascii characters in a http: link). With this change in place Org will apply percent escaping and unescaping more consistently especially for non-ascii characters. Additionally some of the outstanding bugs or glitches concerning percent escaped links are solved. Thanks a lot to David for this work. [his message]: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/37888 Simplification of org-export-html-preamble/postamble ~ When set to `t', export the preamble/postamble as usual, honoring the =org-export-email/author/creator-info= variables. When set to a formatting string, insert this string. See the docstring of these variable for details about available %-sequences. You can set =:html-preamble= in publishing project in the same way: `t' means to honor =:email/creator/author-info=, and a formatting string will insert a string. New command `org-agenda-append-agenda' ~~~ You can now use `org-agenda-append-agenda' to dynamically add new agendas views to the current one. It is particularily useful to compare multiple small agendas. Localized clock tables ~~~ Clock tables now support a new new =:lang= parameter, allowing the user to customize the localization of the table headers. See the variable =org-clock-clocktable-language-setup= which controls available translated strings. New sorting options when publishing projects ~ The =:sitemap-sort-file= option now allows sorting the sitemap file

This is great. Congratulations to Bastien for getting to his first release so quickly! And thanks to everyone else. All this does make me very happy. - Carsten On Mar 7, 2011, at 3:42 PM, Bastien wrote: Dear all, here it is, release 7.5, my first release as Org's new maintainer.
