This is not correct. You can use all the additional features which only
affect the server. None of the major enhancements mentioned at the start
of the release notes (partitioning, parallelism, stored procedures, JIT,
...) should depend on the client.

I am talking about low level client libraries here, like libpq or a
ODBC, JDBC or DBD driver. An ORM or similar framework may well depend on
server-side enhancements. Also, client programs (e.g. psql) may also
have some enhancements.
