open
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/libpq.html
and
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/libpq.html

side by side and compare each subchapter ?

I don't believe there are any API 'changes' that break backwards
compatability, but new versions might add APIs (I can't recall any such
between 8.3 and 8.4, however).

Certainly the release notes will document any changes. Is there
something missing?

Hello Bruce,

Nothing is missing,  I was looking for a summary of what has changed in libpq. But certainly the links are more than helpful. Thanks again for the quick response 

Regards

another great place to get a bird's eye view of what's going on with
libpq is here:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=history;f=src/interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h;h=d13a5b94ab6b858839d8b90ddb4f676860183e44;hb=master

and look for 'add'. not much has really been added -- probably the
biggest change is the events system.
