 *** New variable to control visibility when revealing a location
+
 ~org-show-following-heading~, ~org-show-siblings~,
 ~org-show-entry-below~ and ~org-show-hierarchy-above~ no longer exist.
 Instead, visibility is controlled through a single variable:
 ~org-show-context-detail~, which see.
+
 *** Replace disputed keys again when reading a date
+
 ~org-replace-disputed-keys~ has been ignored when reading date since
 version 8.1, but the former behavior is restored again.
 
 Keybinding for reading date can be customized with a new variable
 ~org-read-date-minibuffer-local-map~.
+
 *** No default title is provided when =TITLE= keyword is missing
+
 Skipping =TITLE= keyword no longer provides the current file name, or
 buffer name, as the title. Instead, simply ignore the title.
-*** Signature changes
+
+*** Functions signature changes
+
 The following functions require an additional argument.  See their
 docstring for more information.
+
 - ~org-export-collect-footnote-definitions~
 - ~org-html-format-headline-function~
 - ~org-html-format-inlinetask-function~
 - ~org-latex-format-headline-function~
 - ~org-latex-format-inlinetask-function~
 - ~org-link-search~
+
 *** Default bindings of =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= changed
+
 The key sequences =C-c C-n= and =C-c C-p= are now bound to
 ~org-next-visible-heading~ and ~org-next-visible-heading~
 respectively, rather than the =outline-mode= versions of these
 functions.  The Org version of these functions skips over inline tasks
 (and even-level headlines when ~org-odd-levels-only~ is set).
+
 *** ~org-element-context~ no longer return objects in keywords
+
 ~org-element-context~ used to return objects on some keywords, i.e.,
 =TITLE=, =DATE= and =AUTHOR=.  It now returns only the keyword.
+
 *** Behavior of ~org-return~ changed
-If point is before or after the headline title, insert newline without
-changing the headline.

 org-timer-default-timer 10)= replace it with =(setq
 org-timer-default-timer "10")=.
-** Removed functions
-*** Removed function ~org-translate-time~
-Use ~org-timestamp-translate~ instead.
-*** Removed function ~org-beamer-insert-options-template~
-This function inserted a Beamer specific template at point or in
-current subtree.  Use ~org-export-insert-default-template~ instead, as
-it provides more features and covers all export back-ends.  It is also
-accessible from the export dispatcher.
-*** Removed function ~org-timer-cancel-timer~
-~org-timer-stop~ now stops both relative and countdown timers.
-*** Removed function ~org-export-solidify-link-text~
-This function, being non-bijective, introduced bug in internal
-references.  Use ~org-export-get-reference~ instead.
-*** Removed function ~org-end-of-meta-data-and-drawers~
-The function is superseded by ~org-end-of-meta-data~, called with an
-optional argument.
-*** Removed functions ~org-table-colgroup-line-p~, ~org-table-cookie-line-p~
-These functions were left-over from pre 8.0 era.  They are not correct
-anymore.  Since they are not needed, they have no replacement.
-** Removed options
-*** ~org-list-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists~ is deprecated
-It will be kept in code base until next release, for backward
-compatibility.
-
-If you need to separate consecutive lists with blank lines, always use
-two of them, as if this option was nil (default value).
-*** ~org-export-with-creator~ is a boolean
-Special ~comment~ value is no longer allowed.  It is possible to use
-a body filter to add comments about the creator at the end of the
-document instead.
-*** Removed option =org-babel-sh-command=
-This undocumented option defaulted to the value of =shell-file-name=
-at the time of loading =ob-shell=.  The new behaviour is to use the
-value of =shell-file-name= directly when the shell langage is =shell=.
-To chose a different shell, either customize =shell-file-name= or bind
-this variable locally.
-*** Removed option =org-babel-sh-var-quote-fmt=
-This undocumented option was supposed to provide different quoting
-styles when changing the shell type.  Changing the shell type can now
-be done directly from the source block and the quoting style has to be
-compatible across all shells, so a customization doesn't make sense
-anymore.  The chosen hard coded quoting style conforms to POSIX.
-*** Removed option ~org-insert-labeled-timestamps-at-point~
-Setting this option to anything else that the default value (nil)
-would create invalid planning info.  This dangerous option is now
-removed.
-*** Removed option ~org-koma-letter-use-title~
-Use org-export-with-title instead.  See also below.
-*** Removed option ~org-entities-ascii-explanatory~
-This variable has no effect since Org 8.0.
-*** Removed option ~org-table-error-on-row-ref-crossing-hline~
-This variable has no effect since August 2009.
-*** Removed MathML-related options from ~org-html-mathjax-options~
-MathJax automatically chooses the best display technology based on the
-end-users browser.  You may force initial usage of MathML via
-~org-html-mathjax-template~ or by setting the ~path~ property of
-~org-html-mathjax-options~.

 - Otherwise, toggle overlays in the current section.
 
 *** Additional markup with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
+
 The content of the included file can now be optionally marked up, for
 instance as HTML.  See the documentation for details.
+
 *** File links with =#+INCLUDE= keyword
+
 Objects can be extracted via =#+INCLUDE= using file links.  It is
 possible to include only the contents of the object.  See manual for
 more information.
-*** Additional =:hline= processing to ob-shell
-If the argument =:hlines yes= is present in a babel call, an optional
-argument =:hlines-string= can be used to define a string to use as a
-representation for the lisp symbol ='hline= in the shell program.  The
-default is =hline=.
+
 *** Drawers do not need anymore to be referenced in =#+DRAWERS=
+
 One can use a drawer without listing it in the =#+DRAWERS= keyword,
 which is now obsolete.  As a consequence, this change also deprecates
 ~org-drawers~ variable.
+
 *** ~org-edit-special~ can edit export blocks
+
 Using C-c ' on an export block now opens a sub-editing buffer.  Major
 mode in that buffer is determined by export backend name (e.g.,
 "latex" \to "latex-mode").  You can define exceptions to this rule by
 configuring ~org-src-lang-modes~, which see.

+
 *** Markdown export supports switches in source blocks
+
 For example, it is now possible to number lines using the =-n= switch
 in a source block.
+
 *** New option in ASCII export
+
 Plain lists can have an extra margin by setting
 ~org-ascii-list-margin~ variable to an appopriate integer.

 Inline source code was used to be removed upon exporting.  They are
 now handled as standard code blocks, i.e., the source code can appear
 in the output, depending on the parameters.
+
 *** Extend ~org-export-first-sibling-p~ and ~org-export-last-sibling-p~
+
 These functions now support any element or object, not only headlines.
+
 *** New function: ~org-export-table-row-in-header-p~
+
 *** New function: ~org-export-get-reference~
+
 *** New function: ~org-element-lineage~

 This function deprecates ~org-export-get-genealogy~.  It also provides
 more features.  See docstring for details.
+
 *** New function: ~org-element-copy~
+
 *** New filter: ~org-export-filter-body-functions~
+
 Functions in this filter are applied on the body of the exported
 document, befor wrapping it within the template.
-*** Improve radio tables
+
+*** Various improvements on radio tables
+
 Radio tables feature now relies on Org's export framework ("ox.el").
 ~:no-escape~ parameter no longer exists, but additional global
 parameters are now supported: ~:raw~, ~:backend~.  Moreover, there are
 new parameters specific to some pre-defined translators, e.g.,
 ~:environment~ and ~:booktabs~ for ~orgtbl-to-latex~.  See translators
 docstrings (including ~orgtbl-to-generic~) for details.
+
 *** Non-floating minted listings in Latex export
+
 It is not possible to specify =#+attr_latex: :float nil= in conjunction with
 source blocks exported by the minted package.
+
 *** Field formulas can now create columns as needed
+
 Previously, evaluating formulas that referenced out-of-bounds columns
 would throw an error. A new variable
 ~org-table-formula-create-columns~ was added to adjust this
 behavior. It is now possible to silently add new columns, to do so
 with a warning or to explicitly ask the user each time.
+
 *** ASCII plot
+
 Ability to plot values in a column through ASCII-art bars.  See manual
 for details.
+
 *** New hook: ~org-archive-hook~
+
 This hook is called after successfully archiving a subtree, with point
 on the original subtree, not yet deleted.
+
 *** New option: ~org-attach-archive-delete~
+
 When non-nil, attachments from archived subtrees are removed.
+
 *** New option: ~org-latex-caption-above~
+
 This variable generalizes ~org-latex-table-caption-above~, which is
 now deprecated.  In addition to tables, it applies to source blocks,
 special blocks and images.  See docstring for more information.
+
 *** New option: ~org-latex-prefer-user-labels~
+
 See docstring for more information.
+
 *** Export unnumbered headlines
+
 Headlines, for which the property ~UNNUMBERED~ is non-nil, are now
 exported without section numbers irrespective of their levels.  The
 property is inherited by children.
+
 *** Tables can be sorted with an arbitrary function
+
 It is now possible to specify a function, both programatically,
 through a new optional argument, and interactively with ~f~ or ~F~
 keys, to sort a table.
+
 *** Table of contents can be local to a section
+
 The ~TOC~ keywords now accepts an optional ~local~ parameter.  See
 manual for details.
+
 *** Countdown timers can now be paused
+
 ~org-timer-pause-time~ now pauses and restarts both relative and
 countdown timers.
+
 *** New option ~only-window~ for ~org-agenda-window-setup~

 of ~org-html-mathjax-options~ for details.
+
 *** New behaviour in `org-export-options-alist'

 When defining a back-end, it is now possible to specify to give
 `parse' behaviour on a keyword.  It is equivalent to call
 `org-element-parse-secondary-string' on the value.

 the number of clones, which removes the repeater from the original
 subtree and creates one shifted, repeating clone.

 As a consequence, it is possible to include multiple Org files with
 footnotes in a master document without being concerned about footnote
 labels colliding.
+
 *** Mailto links now use regular URI syntax
+

 =mailto:user@domain::Subject=.
+
 *** =QUOTE= keywords do not exist anymore
+
 =QUOTE= keywords have been deprecated since Org 8.2.
+
 *** Select tests to perform with the build system

 regular expression by defining =BTEST_RE= during the test invocation.
 This is especially useful during bisection to find just when a
 particular test failure was introduced.
+
 *** Exact heading search for external links ignore spaces and cookies
+
 Exact heading search for links now ignore spaces and cookies. This is
 the case for links of the form ~file:projects.org::*task title~, as
