All compatibility changes are indicated in the upgrade notes from one version 
to another. Read them, see if they apply to you.

Install 9.1 on a test server. Test it with your data. It's free :)

Probably. If you have data in your UTF-8 database that is not valid UTF-8 you 
will eventually need to clean it up.

Also, some of the default config options have changed (in particular bytea 
encoding options); they were the only issues I ran into when upgrading. But 
only you know what features your applications use.
