* Version 9.7 (not released yet)
** Important announcements and breaking changes
*** =python-mode.el (MELPA)= support in =ob-python.el= is removed

=python-mode.el= support has been removed from =ob-python.el=.  The
related customization =org-babel-python-mode= has been changed to a
constant.

If you still want to use python-mode with ob-python, you might
consider [[https://gitlab.com/jackkamm/ob-python-mode-mode][ob-python-mode-mode]], where the code to support python-mode
has been ported to.

** New and changed options
*** ~org-clock-x11idle-program-name~ now defaults to =xprintidle=, when available

When =xprintidle= executable is available at =org-clock= load time, it
is used as the default value for ~org-clock-x11idle-program-name~.
The old =x11idle= default is used as the fallback.

=xprintidle= is available as system package in most Linux
distributions, unlike ancient =x11idle= that is distributed via WORG.

*** New options for the "csl" citation export processor's LaTeX output

The ~org-cite-csl-latex-label-separator~ and
~org-cite-csl-latex-label-width-per-char~ options allow the user to
control the indentation of entries for labeled bibliography styles
when the "csl" citation processor is used for LaTeX export.  The
indentation length is computed as the sum of
~org-cite-csl-latex-label-separator~ and the maximal label width, for
example:

#+begin_example
    indentation length
<------------------------->
max. label width  separator
<---------------><-------->
[Doe22]                    John Doe. A title...
[DoeSmithJones19]          John Doe, Jane Smith and...
[SmithDoe02]               Jane Smith and John Doe...
#+end_example

The maximal label width, in turn, is calculated as the product of
~org-cite-csl-latex-label-width-per-char~ and the maximal label length
measured in characters.

The ~org-cite-csl-latex-preamble~ option makes it possible to
customize the entire LaTeX fragment that the "csl" citation processor
injects into the preamble.

*** New ~org-latex-listings-src-omit-language~ option for LaTeX export

The ~org-latex-listings-src-omit-language~ option allows omitting the
=language= parameter in the exported =lstlisting= environment.  This
is necessary when the =listings= backend delegates listing generation
to another package like =fancyvrb= using the following setup in the
document header:

#+BEGIN_src org
,#+LATEX_HEADER: \RequirePackage{fancyvrb}
,#+LATEX_HEADER: \DefineVerbatimEnvironment{verbatim}{Verbatim}{...whatever...}
,#+LATEX_HEADER: \DefineVerbatimEnvironment{lstlisting}{Verbatim}{...whatever...}
#+END_src

*** New face: ~org-agenda-calendar-daterange~
The face ~org-agenda-calendar-daterange~ is used to show entries with
a date range in the agenda.  It inherits from the default face in
order to remain backward-compatible.

** New features
*** Datetree structure headlines can now be complex

TODO state, priority, tags, statistics cookies, and COMMENT keywords
are allowed in the tree structure.

* Version 9.6

** Important announcements and breaking changes
*** =python-mode.el (MELPA)= support in =ob-python.el= is deprecated

We no longer aim to support third-party =python-mode.el= implementation of Python REPL.
Only the built-in =python.el= will be supported from now on.

We still keep the old, partially broken, code in =ob-python.el= for
the time being.  It will be removed in the next release.

See https://orgmode.org/list/87r0yk7bx8.fsf@localhost for more details.

*** Element cache is enabled by default and works for headings

The old element cache code has been refactored.  Emacs does not hang
