Definitive answer on 0.8.2 client with 0.8.1.1 back end?

Hi seen some discussion on this but nothing definitive.

If I have a 0.8.1.1 back end then can I safely use a 0.8.2 client?

I can't upgrade the back end yet but want to start using  Scala 2.11 in my
client App but the lack of a 2.12 Kafka client dependency is holding me a
2.10. The earliest Kafka client with 2.11 is 0.8.2

Is it possible we could have a 2.11 build of the 0.8.1 client OR an
assurance that the 2.11 0.8.2 client will work with an older 0.8.1.1
service?

Thanks
