Or do you mean the changes are not minor? :-)
Yes, we use the one stated on our site, not wikipedia ;)
See: http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning
Thank you, I understand now.
"A major release is numbered by increasing either the first or second
part of the version number, e.g. 8.1 to 8.2."
Good.
That's not to say that your concerns aren't valid, btw. To answer your
original question, I haven't heard of a way to make it act like 8.2 wrt
the casting, because most people feel it's better to fix the issues in
the application than to apply band-aid.
And yes, similar things may happen for 8.4, but there's nothing out
there yet that we *know* will make such a change.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
