Depends on if your app depends on the (hidden) OID fields that were
included by default before 8.0. If not, then no real concerns that I
know of, if so, you may want to first upgrade to the most recent 7.4
release to ensure that the oid fields get noted properly in the dumps.

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.
