Take a look here:

<http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#new-exporter-switch>

Apart from that I know about the following changes in syntax (to the
best of my knowledge):
1. Attribute lines now take plists
   : #+attr_latex :width "5cm"
   : #+attr_beamer :options "width=5cm"
2. Beamer backend now interprets nested headline levels as blocks
   instead of lists.  For some preliminary guidance you can look at
   this:
   <http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-beamer/org-e-beamer.html>.

Hope this helps,
