I use M-x org-reload regularly when upgrading org-mode (instead of restarting Emacs). org-reload is great for moving forwards in the org-mode git history (to newer commits) without restarting Emacs. It's when you go backwards (removing new functionality and definitions) that things get a bit hairy since your current emacs lisp environment will have a mixture of new and old definitions. org-reload now just gets a list of files and loads them sequentially. The function could probably be enhanced to check the status of the load function call and doing something useful when it fails -- but that needs to be thought out. Carsten originally wrote this function and he may have more thoughts about this. Regards, Bernt
