Standard agenda views don't show file name after update (replaced by "???:")

Standard agenda views don't show file name after update (replaced by "???:")

I just pulled for the first time in a while and found I get question
marks in my agenda view instead of the former use of the file name
(see attached). I did a bunch of git pulling/make cleaning/making, and
traced it to this commit from Nicholas:
- 80bccca4e249cbb5812963863ccffbdcf4b25edd

Commit c1a744659d2b44c067ecb195b3e5d51e837bddd is working properly.

I verified with a minimal config containing only:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp/org.git/lisp/")

My test file contained:

* TODO something

* TODO something else

Process:
- emacs -Q
- M-x load-file [RET] /path/to/min-config
- M-x org-agenda-file-to-front
- M-x org-agenda [RET] t

I get the attached view.


Thanks for any suggestions,
John

May be related:

My standard agenda view pulls in the last #+CATEGORY: line of a file only.

In my case *all* my TODOs are labelled "Urlaub" ("holidays") now.
Reads nicely but sadly not quite true :-)

"Urlaub" happens to be the last CATEGORY defined in my todo.org.

Still happens after this fix.

emacs and org-mode freshly compiled from git.

This is to be expected. You can set :CATEGORY: node property in subtrees
if needed.

So this beheaviour changed at some point in the past?

To be sure:

I have a file (modulo scheduling information)

* Line1
#+CATEGORY: one
** TODO very important

* Line2
#+CATEGORY: two
** TODO more stuff

It is expected to see both TODOs in an agenda as:

two:   very important
two:   more stuff

?

This behaviour was long deprecated. Starting from Org 5.14 (released in
2008), the manual stated

  @cindex #+CATEGORY
  The category is a broad label assigned to each agenda item.  By default,
  the category is simply derived from the file name, but you can also
  specify it with a special line in the buffer, like this@footnote{For
  backward compatibility, the following also works: if there are several
  such lines in a file, each specifies the category for the text below it.
  The first category also applies to any text before the first CATEGORY
  line.  However, using this method is @emph{strongly} deprecated as it is
  incompatible with the outline structure of the document.  The correct
  method for setting multiple categories in a buffer is using a
  property.}:

I only removed the backward compatibility recently. I dropped a note in
ORG-NEWS.

Yes, it is.

This should be

* Line1
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CATEGORY: one
  :END:
** TODO very important

* Line2
  :PROPERTIES:
  :CATEGORY: two
  :END:
** TODO more stuff

Oh ! I just use the old syntax and did not notice this changed
/recently/.

Thank you for the clarification.
