[Orgmode] Vacation, and 5.04.
Hi, I am going to be offline for about 3 weeks. Thanks to all of you for another year with a lot of fun here on emacs-orgmode, I certainly get a kick out of this. On my website I have put version 5.04 of org-mode, it contains the latest bug fixes, but hardly any new features. As an exception I am *not* uploading this version to CVS Emacs, to avoid the risk that there will be a deadly bug that I cannot fix for 3 weeks. I know that there are a few bug reports and feature requests[1] that I have not yet adressed. I will try to get to these after the break. Please continue to report issues and to share your ideas here. I will try to catch up later - even though, with the current flux of posts (I love it), this will be daunting task. Enjoy the summer (if you are on the northern hemisphere) - Carsten [1] In particular Adam Spiers proposal for sublevel todo's (not sure yet if I find the keyword hierarchy useful, anyone?), Scott Jaderholms proposal for some level of integration with anything.el, Jost Burkhardts and Patrick Drechslers proposal to make export of a subtree more useful, Bastiens request to allow computation of properties Changes in Version 5.04 --- * Details - `org-archive-mark-done' may be a string, to select the keyword that should be used. - New variables `org-export-author-info' and `org-export-time-stamp-file' to turn off inclusion of author and time information into exported files. Thank to Patrick Drechsler for pointing out that this would be useful. - New variable to avoid moving DEADLINE and SCHEDULED info into the property drawer. The default is now to *not* move this stuff into the drawer. `org-insert-labeled-timestamps-before-properties-drawer' This was requested by Bastien. - New command j in agenda to jump to an arbitrary date. Thanks to Bernt Hansen for the patch. - Minor bug fixes. -- Carsten Dominik Sterrenkundig Instituut Anton Pannekoek Universiteit van Amsterdam Kruislaan 403 NL-1098SJ Amsterdam phone: +31 20 525 7477 ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

Hi Carsten, Just a minor point, the links from the org-mode page still point to 5.03, though 5.04 is downloadable at: http://staff.science.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/org/org-5.04.tar.gz Have a good vacation, R. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

Carsten, thanks for the release, and thanks to everyone for your work on the Org mode, which I find to be one of the most useful Emacs packages on my system. Have a nice vacation!

This might be a pertinent moment to bring up the topic of revision control ... or actually it might be a particularly bad moment, considering that the maintainer is about to vanish for 3 weeks! But I wanted to propose the idea of adopting a distributed revision control system. This would allow any individual coder to (amongst other benefits) easily create short-term feature branches or bugfix branches off Carsten's releases, share them publically with others for testing, and enable very low-cost merging back into the mainstream. To use the current situation as one example, this would mean that Carsten can relax happily on the beach (or wherever he is ;-) knowing that his absence is guaranteed *not* to hold any progress back, even if he decided to stay there for several months ;-) In case anyone's unfamiliar with the benefits of distributed revision control (vs. centralized, e.g. CVS/svn), enjoy this great talk by Linus Torvalds at google: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 It claims to be about git, but actually it's more about distributed revision control systems in general - everything he says applies to similar systems such as mercurial. Enjoy the summer (if you are on the northern hemisphere) I am, but still waiting for it to stop raining :-( Cheers, Adam ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
