Help proofreading ORG-NEWS for Org 8.1

Help proofreading ORG-NEWS for Org 8.1

[Bastien]

Hi all,

I have prepared the changelogs for Org 8.1, see the first
section in this file:

  http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/plain/etc/ORG-NEWS

I have not documented changes in the contrib/ directory, as
ORG-NEWS is meant to go into the Emacs trunk.

Please let me know if I missed some important changes or if
some descriptions need some rephrasing/details.

Thanks!

Hi Bastien,

this does cover the changes I was involved in.

Thanks.

Thanks!  Generally looks fine IMO.

Is the following important?  You decide.

   - Babel supports AUTO which is replaced by the document's language
     (like inputenc).

Is this really interesting enough for the NEWS file?

Thanks.

Can you make it a bit more explicit, or point to the commit?

Well, I'd say so :)

Hi Bastien,

In the "Incompatible changes section", please change the section on
org-mac-link to read as follows so that it incorporates further
instructions on how to deal with the change:

*** Combine org-mac-message.el and org-mac-link-grabber into org-mac-link.el

Please remove calls to =(require 'org-mac-message)= and =(require
'org-mac-link-grabber)= in your =.emacs= initialization file.  All you
need now is =(require 'org-mac-link)=.

Additionally, replace any calls to 'ogml-grab-link to 'org-mac-grab-link.
For
example, replace this line:

  (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'omgl-grab-link)

with this:

  (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") 'org-mac-grab-link)

Should the changes in the arguments of org-export-to-file/buffer 
or the move to make the (plist-get info :back-end) return a struct
count as 'Incompatible changes'? Or at least be highlighted somewhere as old
code may be (and - in my case - was) broken by them.

HTH,

Chuck

sorry your email came up when I just packaged 8.1.

Nicolas, is this something that should be part of ORG-NEWS?
If so, we can add it now and it will be part of the next bugfix
release 8.1.1.

Thanks,

I forgot about these changes. I've added some notes about it in
ORG-NEWS.
