Re: [O] #+BEGIN_LaTeX deprecated

Check out this announcement email about the syntax change: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-12/msg00525.html

It has a snippet to convert the old syntax files to new syntax.

I don't know if there is such a function but, for the problem you
describe, I would try something like this:

sed -i 's/#+\(BEGIN\|END\)_LaTeX/#+\1_EXPORT/' myfile.org

If there are lots of files maybe (UNTESTED):

grep -rl "BEGIN_LaTeX\|END_LaTeX" | \
     xargs -IXX \
           sed -i's/#+\(BEGIN\|END\)_LaTeX/#+\1_EXPORT/' XX
