I am working with the latest git version (master branch) on Windows
running Emacs 25.1.1
$ git describe
release_9.1.14-1065-gdc7477070
(currently 2 commits behind master since I haven't updated today)

There were some changes:
- dropping org-structure_template_alist and temporarily using
org-tempo. Sinc then I've switched to C-c , which is much better.
- org-time-clocksum-format -> org-duration-format
- refile changes (use caching)
- change time grid definition in agenda
- org-finalize-agenda-hook -> org-agenda-finalize-hook

I am not aware of any other manuals. When I started I used the
out-of-the-box org-mode agendas (daily, weekly, separate task lists) and
then when I was comfortable with how that worked I started making small
customizations so they worked better for me and this eventually turned
into the setup described on my website.
