Unfortunately this hasn't been added to the NEWS file yet, but 
convert-ly _does_ handle it.  \tempo is now obsolete.  There's a new 
messy way to set the tempo (which you'll see when you run convert-ly, 
which you should always do it you're tracking unstable and something 
breaks).  We're currently trying to figure out what the user-friendly 
midi tempo setting should look like.
