+** 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.
