Backward compatibility issue with 8.0b1

Guys,

Beg pardon if this is a repeat:

Summary:  \d option on 8.0b1 PSQL not backward compatible
Severity: Annoyance
Affects:  8.0b1 connecting to 7.4.3
Platform:  SuSE Linux 8.2
Description:   I get:
jwnet_test=# \d elbs_matter
ERROR:  column "reltablespace" does not exist
jwnet_test=# \d cases
ERROR:  column "reltablespace" does not exist
jwnet_test=#

I thought that we were going to be better about backward compatibility in this
version?

Apparently this was fixed after beta 1 ... works for me here.
