Well, I haven’t had the opportunity to test on a lot of different MySQL versions at this point, but it should work fine with MySQL 4.1+, and will probably work with most earlier versions as well, though until someone tests 0.9.7 on earlier versions, I certainly cannot guarantee it’s bug free in terms of xPDO and it’s PDO emulation layer.
Not sure I should ask this here, since it’s not a coding question per say, but something I have in mind for clients not hosted on my server who don’t have cutting edge configs and will need upgrading from 0.9.6 to 0.9.7 at some point.
I have read on xPDO’s website that PDO emulation will work from PHP 4.3.x upward. What about MySQL minimal version ? I know xPDO’s website says "Supports any database platform accessible with a PDO driver implementation". That would mean that MySQL 3.x/4.0 is supported by the PDO_MYSQL driver (http://fr.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo.php). Theoretically it would mean xPDO would run with MySQL 3.x and PHP 4.3.x ? I’d like to be sure that the theory hold up in xPDO’s case.
Reason for asking is, I have a client which requires an upgrade of his server for me to install MODx 0.9.5 (he has PHP 4.3.10-18, Apache/1.3.33 and MySQL 4.0.24) since MODx currently requires MySQL 4.1.x, I thought I might as well avoid him another upgrade later by taking the future into account right now. I don’t remember seing minimal requirements for 0.9.7 : what would that be ?

You just need to compile pdo_mysql against your mysql5 client
libraries, it works fine for me.
./configure --with-pdo-mysql=/path/to/mysql5/install/
extension=pdo.so extension=pdo_mysql.so
