The New Org-mode Exporter Framework
Introduction
As of release 8.0, Org-mode has transitioned to a new export framework, authored primarily (entirely?) by Nicolas Goaziou…
Perhaps this could be filled in with some of the technical reasons and advantages of the new exporter by Nicolas or someone else familiar with with it's inner workings?
For instructions on how to upgrade from the previous Org-mode exporter, see the upgrade guide.
Nicolas' official announcement of the exporter may be viewed at the Org-mode mailing list post. This document presents an overview of features, as well as a list of currently supported exporter backends. Exporting and publishing are also documented in the Org-mode manual. See ox-docstrings and org-element-docstrings for the extracted docstrings from these two core libraries of the new Org-mode exporter, i.e. for detailled technical information about the exporter framework.
