We are certainly going to promise that a dump from 8.3 will load into
8.5. Whether an application that worked against 8.3 will require any
changes to work with 8.5 is a different question.

As far as the OP's original question goes, it might simplify matters to
first read the 8.4 release notes and update/test the app to work against
8.4, and then repeat for 8.5. Or maybe it'd be faster to deal with both
sets of compatibility issues at once. Your call.
