- 'conjugate' card type can now show a hint (VERB_INFINITIVE_HINT)
- New command: org-drill-again: run another drill session using leftover items from the last
  session, i.e. don't rescan the item collection.
- If org-drill-resume is called and there is nothing to resume, offer to call org-drill-again
- Automatically prompt to save all modified buffers when a drill session finishes (turn off with
  'org-drill-save-buffers-after-drill-sessions-p')
- Politely skip cards with unknown card types
- When suspending a drill session, print a message describing the key that runs org-drill-resume
  (it it's bound to a key)
- org-drill-merge-buffers: can now optionally be prevented from copying unmatched items from
  SRC into DEST
- org-drill-merge-buffers: fixed a bug where it prompted for certain property values if they were
  not set in the item being processed
- org-drill-merge-buffers: ensure that *all* items in DEST are stripped of their scheduling data

(ie where items are sourced from). The variable can take the value 'directory', meaning items
will be sourced from all org files in the same directory as the current file. This is useful
for splitting up a monolithic item collection into smaller files, while still including all
those files in drill sessions.

The values of the SCOPE argument to org-drill have changed slightly. Possible values are the same
as those for 'org-drill-scope'.
- 'file' now means current file/buffer, respecting restrictions (default, same as old 'nil')
- 'file-no-restriction' means current file, ignoring (overriding) restrictions (same as old 'file')
- new value 'directory' (see above)
- other values have the same meaning as before.

  various clever tricks such as 'synching' the item collections of two
  people. At the beginning of a drill session, IDs are assigned automatically
  to all drill items that do not possess them. This is slow if you have a large
  collection, but it only happens once.
- New command 'org-drill-merge-buffers'. Called from buffer A, and given buffer
  B, imports all the user-specific scheduling data from B into A, overwriting
  any such information in A. Matching items are identified by their ID. Any
  items in B that do not exist in A are copied to A.  A scenario where this
  could be useful:
  * Tim decides to learn Swedish using an item collection (org file) made
     publically available by Jane.  (Before publishing it Jane used
     'org-drill-strip-all-data' to remove her personal scheduling data from the
     collection.)  A few weeks later, Jane updates her collection, adding new
     items and revising some old ones. Tim downloads the new collection and
     imports his progress from his copy of the old collection, using
     'org-drill-merge-buffers'. He can then discard his old copy. Any items HE
     added to HIS copy of the old collection will not be lost -- they will be
     appended to his copy of the new collection.
- Instead of overdue items being reviewed in a completely random order, they
  are now ordered by the number of days overdue, so that the most overdue items
  are seen first. When two items are the same number of days overdue, then the
  order is random.
- slightly adjusted how 'random noise' is applied to intervals, to give wider
  spread
- we now use the port of the Common Lisp random number generator, in cl.el,
  instead of emacs' builtin RNG
- Random number generator is now reseeded using system time at the beginning of
  each drill session.
- Hints inside clozed text areas are now invisible during drill sessions if the
  clozed text is not itself being hidden, ie if your card contains
  [Moscow|Russian city] you will only see [Moscow] in the answer.
- The '...' is now shown after the hint text rather than before it,
  i.e. '[Russian city...]'. You can override this by actually including '...'
  in the hint itself.
- The minibuffer prompt now displays the card 'type' for testing purposes, as a
  single letter: N=new, Y=young, o=old, !=overdue, F=failed
- New card type: hide2cloze (hides exactly 2 randomly chosen areas of clozed
  text)

  - '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]
