We did our best to keep compatibility. There shouldn't be major 
incompatibilities. The difference is that with previous Kdenlive versions, when 
creating a title, Kdenlive created a png image from the xml data of the objects 
placed in the Title widget. That image was saved to disk and titles in MLT were 
in fact static png images.

Now, with the new module, the image is created directly by MLT, from the xml 
code created by the titler widget.

The code to draw an image from the xml data is the same as before, except for 
images included in titles. So there shouldn't be major issues I think, but I 
cannot say that it's bug free...

There are only 2 issues left with the new title module:

* If you create a title in a project that has a DV PAL profile for example, 
editing it with a different project profile is not correctly working yet.
* More annoying issue that will likely not get fixed: the new titler module 
needs to be run from an Xorg session. That means that you cannot render your 
project in a terminal session (without a working X server)...

Apart from this, we should soon be able to improve the implementation of the 
nice features of this module, starting with basic animation. That can already 
be tried with the start / end viewport tab in title widget but needs to be 
improved.
