Aloha Gunnar,

Please see http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#new-exporter-switch.
Old documents will typically require some changes to work with the new
exporter, but the changes are relatively few and that Nicolas has worked
hard to preserve backward compatibility where possible.

All the best,
Tom
