You'll want to test your applications against the new version - one big gotcha is the removal of certain automatic casts. It's well documented in the release notes and in various threads on this list.

[GENERAL] Upgrading from postgres 8.1 to 8.3
Our 600GB data was currently loaded in postgres 8.1 , we want to upgrade from postgres 8.1 to 8.3 . Can we able to point the data directly or should we have to do any porting work for transfering data from 8.1 to 8.3.
