  - 'conjugate': retrieves properties VERB_INFINITIVE and VERB_TRANSLATION
    from parent item, and uses its own property VERB_TENSE to prompt the
    student 'Translate the verb INFINITIVE and conjugate for the TENSE tense'
    or 'Give the verb meaning TRANSLATION and conjugate for the TENSE tense'
  - 'translate_number': using third party library spell-number.el,
    prompt the student to translate a random number to or from a non-English
    language (the library can handle numerous languages)
  - examples of both in spanish.org
- org-drill-card-type-alist can now take a second function name, for
  controlling how the ANSWER is displayed
- items can have weights (DRILL_CARD_WEIGHT). The interval is divided by
  the weight when scheduling, so eg an item with a weight of 2.0 will be
  tested twice as often as a normal item.
- New command: org-drill-tree. Same as org-drill using 'tree' argument.
- New command: org-drill-strip-data: deletes all scheduling data from
  every item in scope. Intended for use if you wish to share your item
  library with someone else.
- Fixed bug in simple8 algorithm where items failed on their first review
  were not having intervals reset
- Ensure all markers are freed before starting a new drill session.

  still recognised as a synonym, for backwards compatibility)
- new card type 'show1cloze' -- like hide1cloze, but only reveals one
  of the areas of clozed text in the item.
- when 'revealing' an item during a drill session, do not show contents
  of any subheadings which are themselves tagged as drill items. This means
  you can have drill items inside drill items, without giving their answers
  away when you review the parent item.
- better ensure visibility state of the org buffer is restored after the
  drill session.
- syntax highlighting of [clozed text] now works if other faces are applied
  inside the clozed text area, eg [the *largest* city]

  some items have been moved or deleted. We now check for this and discard
  offending markers, rather than failing outright.
- Final report now shows number of items that will become due tomorrow.
- Fixed a rounding bug which affected deciding whether items are 'overdue'.

  Use 'M-x org-drill-resume'.
- Finessed the prioritisation of items during drill sessions.
  - We now present failed and OVERDUE items first. Overdue status is defined in days and
    has some leeway, defined by a new variable 'org-drill-overdue-interval-factor'.
  - Next we present YOUNG items (learned or relearned recently, so have short intervals).
    The definition of 'young' is via the variable 'org-drill-days-before-old'.
  - Finally we present a random mix of OLD items and NEW items.
- Final report gives info about counts of pending overdue, young, and old items.
- Timer shows '++:++' if &gt; 1 hour passes while reviewing an item.

<content type='text'>
- Item drill data is stored in a clearer format, each value has its own property, the old 'org-learn'
  LEARN_DATA property has been dropped. Items that contain LEARN_DATA are silently rolled over to
  the new format.
- For SM5, matrix of optimal factors is now correctly *global* rather than per-item, and is saved
  between drill sessions as an emacs customization variable.
- We store interval data as floating point numbers rather than rounding to the nearest integer.
- New experimental algorithm: 'simple8', based on SuperMemo SM8.
- New options:
  - org-drill-forgetting-index: define the percentage of items that it is "acceptable" to fail.
    A warning message is shown after the drill session if more items than this were failed.
  - org-drill-learn-fraction: governs how fast time intervals increase with each successful
    repetition of an item.
  - org-drill-adjust-intervals-for-early-and-late-repetitions-p: if true, alter next scheduled date
    if an item is reviewed earlier or later than it was supposed to be.
- Almost all variables have been declared safe for file-local reassignment.
- We now ignore org-learn-always-reschedule, regarding it as always true.
- Post-session report now shows a count of dormant items (those not yet due for review).

- OF matrix entries are rounded to 3 decimal places.
- Item E-factors are not modified if the item is "failed" (in accordance with Dr Wozniak's description of
  the SM5 algorithm).

  heading other than the item's heading, it would not be hidden during testing.
