Until 8.3.1, I needed to use \% in an org document in order to get the %
symbol displayed when exporting to LaTeX. I just discovered that \%
messes up the exported document, and that using % only works. I've also
experimented with \$ and $ and found the same behavior.
I've looked through the 8.3.1 changes document, but I can't find
reference to this change. Since I use special characters frequently, I
need more information about this change. Where can I find it?

I export to LaTeX with pre-8.3 and now 8.3 and do not escape % and $.
-k.

% Is exported as "\%" in latex.
$ is a mess. It's uses some heuristic to determine if it's a math snippet
or a currency symbol.
You can always use a snippet, @@latex:%@@ which is exported literally in
the backend before the colon.
Hope it helps,
Rasmus

Did you find the change we could document in ORG-NEWS?

AFAIK there's no change in 8.3. If you export a document consisting of
"$ %" with ox-latex with 8.2.10 you also get "\$ \%".
