The PostgreSQL versioning follows X.Y.Z, where X.Y is the release, and Z is
bug-fix, so you should always run the higher Z of your X.Y version, see the
versioining policy at [1]. An upgrade on Z shouldn't cause incompatibility,
but you should check the first paragraphs of the release notes [2].

So, that all means you should be on 9.3.6 right now.
