That's just one of numerous minor incompatibilities.  Read the release
notes and test your applications --- but by all means fix whatever
application issues you need to fix, and get moved over.  8.1 is way
better than 7.4 by any number of measures; even more to the point, we
won't be supporting 7.4 forever.
