I suggest we add a news entry in etc/ORG-NEWS in the bugfix branch for
the change to be advertized for 9.5.x users.

Can anyone do that?

Hi all

Then Version 9.6 (or forget) seems right to me.

I agree an entry should have been added in the 9.5 news file. However,
I'm not sure it is a good idea to add one now given that 9.5 has been
released.

The problem with adding one now is that it means 9.5 will have 2
different news files. This could cause confusion as some people will
have a news file which includes the details and some will not. If people
are willing to accept that possible bit of confusion, I would add the
entry, otherwise, leave it and add it to the 9.6 news file (so that at
least the change was documented/tracked, albeit after the fact.

I also agree it should have had a NEWS entry (something I never
remember), but don't have much of an opinion on whether that entry gets
added after the fact or not!

Right, I agree this change should have come with a NEWS entry, though
0c4e844c8 (Remove default binding for org-table-blank-field, 2021-04-28)
is from the 9.5 release not 9.4.

However, 9.5 is out, and my understanding is that released NEWS sections
should not be substantially modified in most cases
().  I'll leave it to
the author of the original change and Bastien to decide if they want to
make an exception in this case.

Hi all

The change is not announced in ORG-NEWS. I think it should be in Version 9.4.

Thank you for catching that.  I've updated the manual in 6874af872.

Sorry about that.  You can restore it on your end by putting something
like this in your config:

  (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c SPC") #'org-table-blank-field)

org-table-blank-field key binding removal

[Alan Wehmann]

On 2/5/21 in this email list Carsten Dominik suggested removing the key binding 
C-c  for "org-table-blank-field".  That got implemented for Org-9.5, but 
the Info file didn't get changed, so it still says:

‘C-c ’ (‘org-table-blank-field’)
 Blank the field at point.

in node (org) Built-in Table Editor

In my own usage of tables I use this key binding a lot, so I am going to figure 
how to restore it.

I don't subscribe to this list, because it's too overwhelming.
