I expect that what you downloaded was a pre-release candidate for
version 2.0, which does indeed "eschew" older versions (for some good
reasons - you can't support *all* versions of *everything*,
*forever*).

With version 1.2.14, the latest *official* release, versions of
PostgreSQL as far back as 7.4 are certainly supported.
