Flyway: Support for older DB's

I'm currently trying to set up some simple migration scripts for our databases. I was checking flyway, which seems to be simple enough for what I need. My problem is that, for Postgres, only version 9 is supported (we're using 8.4). Is it possible to work around/fix this limitation somehow, or should I start looking for other options?

Edit: I forgot to mention that when I run something like mvn flyway:status, I get the error message:

Flyway Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported Database: PostgreSQL

I can connect to the DB via psql, and I'm using the correct jdbc driver, so when I saw the requirements page in the documentation, I assumed that the version was explicitly checked by flyway.

What limitations do you encounter? Flyway is only tested on PostgreSQL version 9.0, that's it. It's not said that older PostgreSQL versions don't work. Just give it a try.

You could also setup a PostgreSQL 9.0 installation on your testbox to see if there is any difference.
