Hello Org users,

Since a few hours, lists changes are in master branch. Here is a sum up
of the new functionalities:

* What's new

  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 address@hidden or address@hidden

  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 everything.

* Incompatible changes

  Lists inside blocks are not seen by outside elements. As a corollary,
  check-boxes in such lists cannot be counted by cookies outside the
  block.

Regards,
