+ ** Org-mode is not part of the Emacs distribution
+ 
+ Org-mode is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, and doing
+ project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system.  It also
+ contains an amazing plain-text table editor with spreadsheet-like
+ capabilities.
+ 
+ Org-mode develops organizational tasks around NOTES files that contain
+ information about projects as plain text.  Org-mode is implemented on
+ top of outline-mode, which makes it possible to keep the content of
+ large files well structured.  Visibility cycling and structure editing
+ help to work with the tree.  Tables are easily created with a built-in
+ table editor.  Org-mode supports ToDo items, deadlines, time stamps,
+ and scheduling.  It dynamically compiles entries into an agenda that
+ utilizes and smoothly integrates much of the Emacs calendar and diary.
+ Plain text URL-like links connect to websites, emails, usenet
+ messages, BBDB entries, and any files related to the projects.  For
+ printing and sharing of notes, an Org-mode file can be exported as a
+ structured ASCII file, or as HTML.
+ 
+ Org-mode keeps simple things simple.  Not every outline branch needs
+ to be an action item, not every action item needs to have priority or
+ scheduling information associated with it.  Org-mode can be used on
+ different levels and in different ways, for example as
+ 
+   * an outline extension with visibility cycling and structure editing
+   * an ASCII system and table editor to take structured notes
+   * an ASCII table editor with some spreadsheet-like capabilities
+   * a simple hypertext system, with HTML export
+   * a TODO list editor
+   * a full agenda and planner with deadlines and work scheduling
+ 
+ The Org-mode table editor can be integrated into any major mode by
+ activating the minor Orgtbl-mode.

+ ** Reftex mode changes
+ 
+ *** Changes to the table-of-contents feature
+ 
+ Labels can be renamed globally from the table of contents using the
+ key `M-%'.
+ 
+ The new command keys "<" and ">" in the TOC buffer promote/demote the
+ section at point or all sections in the current region, with full
+ support for multifile documents.
+ 
+ The new command `reftex-toc-recenter' (`C-c -') shows the current
+ section in the TOC buffer without selecting the TOC window.
+ Recentering can happen automatically in idle time when the option
+ `reftex-auto-recenter-toc' is turned on.  The highlight in the TOC
+ buffer stays when the focus moves to a different window.  A dedicated
+ frame can show the TOC with the current section always automatically
+ highlighted.  The frame is created and deleted from the toc buffer
+ with the `d' key.
+ 
+ The new command `reftex-goto-label' jumps directly to a label
+ location.
+ 
+ The toc window can be split off horizontally instead of vertically.
+ See new option `reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally'.
+ 
+ *** Changes related to citations
+ 
+ Inserting citation commands now prompts for optional arguments when
+ called with a prefix argument.  Related new options are
+ `reftex-cite-prompt-optional-args' and `reftex-cite-cleanup-optional-args'.
+ 
+ The new command `reftex-create-bibtex-file' creates a BibTeX database
+ with all entries referenced in the current document.  The keys "e" and
+ "E" allow to produce a BibTeX database file from entries marked in a
+ Citation selection buffer.
+ 
+ `reftex-citation' uses the word before the cursor as a default search
+ string.
+ 
+ The support for chapterbib has been improved.  Different chapters can
+ now use BibTeX or an explicit `thebibliography' environment.
+ 
+ The macros which specify the bibliography file (like \bibliography)
+ can be configured with the new option `reftex-bibliography-commands'.
+ 
+ Support for jurabib has been added.
+ 
+ *** Changes to the Index support
+ 
+ During global indexing, a user function can verify an index match.
+ See new option `reftex-index-verify-function'.
+ 
+ *** Miscellaneous changes
+ 
+ The macros which input a file in LaTeX (like \input, \include) can be
+ configured in the new option `reftex-include-file-commands'.
+ 
+ RefTeX supports global incremental search.
+ 
+ Operating in a document with thousands of labels can be sped up
+ considerably by allowing RefTeX to derive the type of a lable directly
+ from the label prefix like `eq:' or `fig:'.  The option
+ `reftex-trust-label-prefix' needs to be configured in order to enable
+ this feature.  While the speed-up is significant, this may reduce the
+ quality of the context offered by RefTeX to describe a label.

  ** Prolog mode has a new variable `prolog-font-lock-keywords'
  to support use of font-lock.
