The PostgreSQL team is quite straight about it: there's no promises regarding 
binary compatibility when you're changing important (in PgSQL case, second 
number) version part; hence, whenever you're drifting from N.M to N.M+1 you're 
basically forced to to dump/resore or replication.  There were some exceptions, 
but usually you should be ready to set up new server and then migrate your 
database one way or another...
