OK, the verdict is this:

in the next version, M-RET will split again, unless you configure
the new option `org-M-RET-may-split-lines'.
That variable will govern the behavior of M-RET when creating headlines,
when creating items, and also in tables.

I there a way to restore the old M-RET behavior?
I use it all the time when brainstorming: Often, when I see that the headline I'm typing is getting too complicated, I find that it needs to be broken into sub topics -- easy to do when you can walk the cursor through the headline and break it up with M-ret.

Suppose I've typed:

* Danish Bakfietsen: extended front wheel centers mass, adds steering linkage, cost, handling?

This is too long, and I have more info to add. After a couple of M- ret's and M-right arrows, I have:

* Danish Bakfietsen
** extended front wheel centers mass
** adds steering linkage, cost, handling?

I realize that I will have a lot to say about cost and handling, so I M-ret again:

* Danish Bakfietsen
** extended front wheel centers mass
** adds steering linkage,
*** cost,
*** handling?

For me, one of the biggest org mode strengths is how quickly you can map out a thought and then reorganize with a few quick keystrokes -- the old M-ret behavior is just one example. Based on listserv traffic, it sounds like most people use org mode for task tracking and GTD, so maybe my usage scenario is too outside of the mainstream, but still, I really liked M-ret the way it was.

Keep up the good work,

Scott
