Hi everyone,
I am releasing Org-mode version 5.13 at http://orgmode.org
This is a big release. Except for severe bug fixes, the next
release will probably not be before the end of November.
Enjoy

Bug fixes and improvements in column view
-----------------------------------------
- All the bugs described by Scott Jaderholm have been fixed
(at least I hope so...).
- You can now capture a column view into a dynamic block, for
exporting or printing it. The column view can be
+ global, i.e. for the entire file
+ local, i.e. for the subtree where the dynamic block is
+ from an entry with a specific :ID: property.
You can identify the entry whose column view you want to
capture by assigning an :ID: property, and use that property
in the dynamic block definition. For example:
* Planning
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: planning-overview
:END:
[...]
* The column view
#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id "planning-overview"
#+END:
Use `C-c C-x r' to insert such a dynamic block, and you will
be prompted for the ID.
- When the current column format displays the TODO keyword,
priority or tags, these parts are stripped from the content
of the ITEM column, making for more compact and readable
entries. When any of these "properties" are not listed in
the current column format, they are instead retained in the
ITEM column.
- You can now also edit the ITEM column with `e'.
The agenda dispatcher
---------------------
- Instead of pressing `1' to restrict an agenda command to
the current buffer, or `0' to restrict it to the current
subtree or region, you can now also press `<' once or
twice, respectively. This frees up `1' and `0' for user
commands, a request by Bastien. In fact, "<" cycles
through different restriction states. "1" and "0" are
still available for backward compatibility, until you bind
them to custom commands.
- The access code to custom agenda commands can now contain
several characters, effectively allowing to bundle several
similar commands into a sub-keymap. This follows an
excellent proposal by Adam Spiers. For example:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("h" . "HOME + Name tag searches") ; describe prefix "h"
("hl" tags "+HOME+Lisa")
("hp" tags "+HOME+Peter")
("hk" tags "+HOME+Kim")))
- The user function option in org-agenda-custom-commands may
now also be a lambda expression, following a request by
Adam Spiers.
Sorting improvements
--------------------
We are using a new routine for sorting entries, courtesy of
John Wiegley. Many thanks to John.
- You can define your own function to extract a sorting key
and in this way sort entries by anything you like.
- Entries can now be sorted according to the value of a
property.
- Plain lists can be sorted.
HTML <div> structure
--------------------
There is now a <div>-based structure in exported HTML.
- The table of context is wrapped into a div with a class
"table-of-contents".
- The outline structure is embedded in <div> elements with
classes "outline-1", "outline-2" etc.
- The postamble, containing the author information and the
date is wrapped into a div with class "postamble".
I am not sure if the class names are the best choice, let me
know if there are more "canonical" names we should use instead.
Thanks to Mike Newman and Cezar for input, and in particular
to Mike for his clearly formulated specification.
Other stuff
-----------
- New variable `org-agenda-window-frame-fractions' to
customize the size limits of the agenda window in the case
that you display the agenda window by reorganizing the
frame.
- Drawers can be set on a per-file basis using
#+DRAWERS: HIDDEN STATE PROPERTIES
This will define the drawers :HIDDEN: and :STATE:.
The :PROPERTY: drawer should always be part of this list, or
your properties will not be folded away.
Thanks to Richard G. Riley for this proposal.
- `org-agenda-fontify-priorities' may now also be an
association list of priorities and faces, to specify the
faces of priorities in the agenda individually.
- The variable `org-export-with-property-drawer' no longer
exists, please use `org-export-with-drawers' instead. Also,
the corresponding switch in the #+OPTIONS line has changed
from "p" to "d". Thanks to Bastien for pointing out that we
needed to handle not only the property drawer.
- M-up and M-down now move the current line up and down (if
not at a headline, item or table). Among other things you
can use this to re-order properties in the drawer. This was
a proposal by Bastien.
- New variable `org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date', based on a
request by Wanrong Lin.
- Aborting remember template selection with C-g now kills the
remember buffer and restores the old window configuration.
This was a request by Nuutti Kotivuori.
