Planner NEWS --- History of user-visible changes    -*- outline -*-

* Changes in Planner 3.41 (unreleased)

** Bugfixes

*** Make planner-visit-link more robust.
*** Don't insert too many spaces around task number.
*** planner-authz: Work with latest changes in planner-publish.
*** planner-gnus: Fix buggy browsing behavior.

** Compatibility fixes

*** planner-appt: Fix initialization for XEmacs.
*** planner-appt: For XEmacs, create a diary file if one does not exist.

** New features

*** planner-authz: Add planner-multi support.
*** planner-authz: Consider all of a note's links when building an
access list.
*** planner-authz: Only publish dependencies if they haven't already
been published.
*** planner-calendar: Make a <calendar> tag.
*** planner-publish: Enable multiple links with "categories" attribute.

* Changes in Planner 3.40

** Migration to Muse backend from emacs-wiki is complete.
Planner is now based on Emacs Muse, rather than emacs-wiki.  This will
require a few changes to your Planner configuration.  See the
`Creating Your Planner' section of the Planner manual for an example
Planner and Muse configuration.

Other considerations follow.

*** WikiNames are not colorized by default.
If you want WikiName support, add a "(require 'muse-wiki)" line to
your Planner configuration.

*** List items that that begin with "- " should begin with " - ".

*** The use of `planner-option-customized' is deprecated.
Please change any use of `planner-option-customized' to `setq' in your
configuration.  Most of the options that required this no longer
exist.

*** Planner files must have a .muse extension.
Make sure that you rename your Planner files to have a ".muse"
extension, or they will not be recognized.

*** Publishing may be done by means of the planner-publish.el file.
Add "(require 'planner-publish)" to your Planner configuration to use
it.  This will make available several publishing styles that you can
use with `muse-project-alist'.

The difference between planner-specific publishing styles and the
normal Muse publishing styles is that the former can mark up tasks and
notes specially.

** New files

*** AUTHORS: List of contributors to Planner and authors of Planner files.
*** ChangeLog.2004, ChangeLog.2005, ChangeLog.2006:

** Misc

Make sure that you use "D" instead of ">" to indicate delegated tasks,
or these tasks will not display or publish properly.

*** planner-accomplishments: Line up accomplishments neatly.
*** planner-appt: Forthcoming appointments are now dealt with.
*** planner-authz: Several TODO items were completed.

*** planner.el
