The driver is coded for Version 2 of the frontend/backend protocol.
Starting with PostgreSQL 7.4.x, an updated Version 3 protocol was
introduced, but the old protocol was still supported. I run with 7.4.x,
so the backward compatibility seems to work.

I've not seen mention of any further protocol change for 8.0,
so I'd expect 8.0 to work too. But, I've not tried any 8.0 (beta/RC's). 

At this point, there's no new driver in the works for the
version 3 protocol on my end.

Great, looking forward to it.
