Changes in version 4.46

  - Custom commands may create an agenda which contains several blocks,
    each block made by a different agenda command.

      This was proposed by Piotr Zielinski and Pete Phillips.  Check
      out section 8.9.2 in the manual to find out how to do this.

  - Agenda commands can be restricted to the current file, region, or
    subtree.  Thanks to Piotr for this idea.

      You restrict to the current file by sneaking in a "1" between
      `C-c a' and the key selecting the agenda command.  For example
      `C-c a 1 t' creates the TODO list for the current buffer.
      By using "0" instead of "1", the restriction is to the current
      subtree or, if there is an active selection, to that selection.
      The next C-c a command will again use the all agenda files.

  - The timeline command must now be called through the agenda
    dispatcher (C-c a L).  `C-c C-r' no longer works.

  - Agenda items can be sorted by tag.  The *last* tag is used for this.

       This was a request from Pete.  Why the last tag, you may wonder?
       Because the tag list for an item starts with inherited tags, and
       most local tag setting is probably the best to use for sorting.

Re: Emacs-Calendar export to iCal/vcal

It just occurred to me that a possible solution may be to write the 
ical file to your public HTML directory and *subscribe* iCal to it.  I 
don't know the correct syntax, but there must be a way to specify a url 
on the local computer.  Maybe it does not even have to be in the public 
HTML folder, maybe you can subscribe to any location?  I don't know, if 
anybody does, please tell us.

Disadvantage would be that this would be a read-only calendar in iCal.  
However, since you would not be able to import any changes back into 
org-mode anyway, maybe this is not a big problem - you can just write 
to another calendar to which you own the write rights.

I have had a look at globalff.el, and it seems to me that an even 
better way forward would be to talk to the developer of globalff and 
ask him to add a feature:  It should be possible to take a default 
search string is taken from the file name at point in a similar way as 
ffap does it.  He could even use ffap internals to grab that string in 
a useful  way, I guess.  This would be something not only useful in 
Org-mode, but in many other modes too.

That is a good idea, and I would like to take that change - if you 
agree.  Do you?

Thanks.

I just downloaded and installed 4.46 and find that if I try to create
a new frame from within an org-mode buffer I get wrong argument type:
stringp, t

Just simply invoking M-x make-frame will show the problem.

I'm using XEmacs 21.4.19 (on Cygwin).

Thanks,
Ed

For installation, I'm still byte compiling things myself (ie, the
"old" way).  But I noticed that the documentation now describes a
'Makefile' method.  However, the makefile is not included in the
tarfile (for versions 4.44-4.46, at least).

Re: org-mode 4.46

I cannot reproduce this.  Anyone?

Can you make a traceback?

Quick fix: 4.47

I am making a quick release, fixing the two reported bugs:  Makefile 
missing, and problems in XEmacs with make-frame, both fixed now.  Sorry 
for the mess, and thanks for the quick reports from Ed and Daniel.

Resolution of LaTeX fragments

I've encountered a problem with LaTeX fragments: the default
resolution that dvipng produces results in text (in the images)
which is too small. Of course, browsers (eg, firefox) can manipulate
font size from the client side, but that doesn't affect images (and
changing the relative size of the two). Monitor resolution is also a
factor. Uugh. I guess mixing text with images containing text is not
really ideal, but I'll put that aside for now.

I don't have a great solution for this, but I needed something to
make it usable. I've added a little hack that creates a variable,
org-export-LaTeX-fragments-resolution, that is used in the call to
dvipng. I've found that a setting of 150 is much easier on my eyes
than the default (which I've estimated to be ~86). I added something
to org-export-plist-vars for publishing too, but that doesn't seem
to work -- not sure why (I'm new to Elisp).

The patch is attached in case anyone else was looking for a fix for
this.
