A couple of days ago, Bastien tweeted that Org Mode 9.2 has been released:
#emacs #orgmode 9.2 is out. Happy Christmas! https://t.co/W2c3ifoFtr

I’ve taken to upgrading my packages on Sunday (only) so I haven’t installed it yet but there is one incompatible change that Org users should be aware of. The “structured template expansion” mechanism—expanding <e to #+BEGIN_EXPAMPLE … #+END_EXAMPLE for instance—is completely different. The change was a bit contentious but even Carsten admitted the new system is better. Regardless, it’s now the default system. You can revert to the old system by adding
(require 'org-tempo)
to your init.el. This change—along with other incompatible changes—is described at the top of the CHANGE file, so you should definitely take a look at it.
As usual, Thanks to Nicolas, Bastien, and all the others who worked to bring us this new release.
UPDATE : It’s Org-mode not Emacs that got updated.
