+** Todo mode has been rewritten and enhanced.
+New features include:
+- support for multiple todo files and archive files of done items;
+- renaming, reordering, moving, merging, and deleting categories;
+- sortable tabular summaries of categories and the types of items they contain;
+- cross-categorial lists of items filtered by specific criteria;
+- more fine-grained interaction with the Emacs diary, by being able to decide
+  for each todo item whether it appears in the Fancy Diary display;
+- highly flexible new item insertion and item editing;
+- moving items between categories, storing done items in their category or in
+  archive files, undoing or unarchiving done items;
+- reprioritizing items by inputting a numerical priority;
+- extensive customizability of operation and display, including numerous faces.
+To support some of these features, a new file format is used, which is
+incompatible with the old format; however, you can convert old todo and done
+item files to the new format on initializing the first new todo file, or at any
+later time with the provided conversion command.  The old version of
+todo-mode.el has been made obsolete and renamed otodo-mode.el.
