Go here:

On the right, under "Latest releases", there is a notes link for each
major version.
There are 3 major releases between the 7.4.x and 8.3.x major versions.
You may misunderstand what is considered a major version in Postgres.
Just in case, you might want to check here:

In 8.2.6 and 8.3.0, everything is sweetness and light. Every time you
initialize a new database cluster in 7.4.x, God kills a puppy, so you
really ought to upgrade. If you want more information on this (the name
of the puppy, etc), you can search the archives re: this question here:
