1.4 agent backwards compatible?

[zabquest]

Just wondering if the Zabbix 1.4 agent will work with a 1.1 server.

with a pending zabbix server upgrade I'd like to pre-install the new agent on my server images, but not if the agent can't function with an older server.

thanks in advance.

In a self "RTFM" moment, I found that the short answer to this is: Yes.

The newest agents, however, do not support the Zabbix 1.X keys.
