Yes and no :-) First 2 digit is againist confusion. Users asked when
will be released ODBC for PgSQL X.Y. So first 2 digist follows
PgSQL numbering. But psqlODBC keeps a little bit back compatibility.
You can compile psqlODBC 8.01.XXXX againist PgSQL 8.0 with no problems.

You can also compile psqlODBC 8.01.XXXX againist PgSQL 8.1 source code
and this compiled psqlODBC you can run againist PgSQL 8.0, 7.4, 7.3 and
maybe older releases of PgSQL.

There are known problems of compiling psqlODBC 8.01.XXXX againist PgSQL 7.4
and older. There are some unofficial patches to solve this problems.

I recommended you to use latest stable release. Source code is located
here:
