We are going to upgrade our Postgres servers (most 8.2.9 and some 8.2.4) to the 8.3.x version.

From the postgres web site, I can see the 8.3.5 is the latest version.  

Question for people who have been on 8.3.5:

Is 8.3.5 very safe to use (no major new bugs)? Is it really better than the older versions of  the 8.3.X families?

Thanks a lot,
Jessica

Did you read the release notes for 8.3.x?

There are a couple of gotchas when it comes to automatic casting that differs between 8.2.x and 8.3.x.

Make sure you did test you app on 8.3.x, apart from that 8.3.x run just fine and it's really better.
