There are some system table layout changes but that probably won't
matter as that application is unlikely to be looking at system tables
directly. I think there was a protocol change which might cause problems
if you can't relink the list manager with a more recent version of
the client that connects to the database.

Mostly stuff was added, but you generally won't have to worry about that.
Some implicit casts were dropped and that might cause you problems.
The pg_hba.conf format changed and you won't be able to directly use
the one you have already.
