There have been issues with the old client connecting to the new server
and the new client connecting to the old server.  They are rare and only
usually affect the use of 'short cut' commands (ie things like: \d and
\dt in the client)... the connection itself is usually both backwards
and forwards compatible.... just not the commands.
