The most recent involved John Wiegley, who didn't like this change either. You also may want to look for a subject tagged with [ANN] where this change is announced. Anyway, the main motivation is speed, and removing some pathological cases, e.g., with entries containing inlinetasks. Now property API runs in constant time, it scales much better than before. > 2) If there is good code for fixing the properties drawers, why > isn't it in the org-agenda-set-property function? The code there now > just creates new PROPERTIES drawers, ignoring existing ones. The code in ORG-NEWS do not really "fix" drawers. Your drawers are perfectly valid in Org 8.3, but they do not have the same meaning. This function turns them into an equivalent for Org 9.0. This is only a helper function for the transition. OTOH, `org-agenda-set-property' function tries to repair wrong drawers, e.g., when they are missing the :END: part, IIRC. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
