GNU Hyperbole 9.2.0 introduces Org-style visibility cycling for Koutliner

The GNU Project has released Hyperbole version 9.2.0, a significant update that introduces new navigation capabilities to the Koutliner component. This release follows an interim version 9.1.0, which was issued primarily to synchronize the project's versioning scheme with ELPA and MELPA standards.

The most notable functional change is the addition of Org-style visibility cycling. This allows users to toggle between different levels of outline visibility, providing a familiar workflow for those accustomed to Emacs Org-mode behavior within the Hyperbole environment.

Koutliner updates and versioning changes

• Feature Addition: The Koutliner now supports Org-style visibility cycling as a configurable option, allowing users to toggle between standard demote/promote behavior and visibility-based cycling using {C-TAB}.
• Versioning Logic: Following the 9.1.0 interim release, the project has adopted a new numbering convention for snapshots and development versions following the format RELEASE.0.DATE.COUNT.
• Configuration Migration: The 9.2.0 update requires users to remove existing ~/EXAMPLE.kotl files to properly initialize the new Koutliner features via the {C-h h k e} command.

Why it matters

This update improves interoperability and workflow familiarity for Emacs users who rely on Hyperbole for structured note-taking and outlining. By aligning its versioning with ELPA and MELPA, Hyperbole ensures better integration and predictability within the broader GNU Emacs ecosystem.
