This brings nearer the time when it may be time to call ... what?
1.5.0-BETA1?  A process is probably in order.  There hasn't been a
release in a while.

[MERGED PR79] issue [not 75] 65 - probably a real bug, probably not hard
  to fix.

[MERGED PR78] declare a [not source file encoding, my faulty memory]
  maven-jar-plugin version in the pom.xml; Maven warns if it isn't set

[MERGED PR78] rename the packaging subproject to pljava-packaging as
  proposed on this list
  http://lists.pgfoundry.org/pipermail/pljava-dev/2015/002355.html All
  the other modules have a pljava- prefix and that seems good, as the
  Maven repository namespace is org.postgresql, which has to be shared
  with pgjdbc. (Will require chasing down references in the docs.)

[MERGED PR78] remove msvc-build-notes.txt (there's a whole MSVC section
  in the new docs)

[MERGED PR78] add notes to Deployer and install.sql that they are now
  unnecessary, redirecting to the current installation docs.

[MERGED PR82] add support for 9.1+ CREATE EXTENSION so it is also a
  workable way to intall. (No longer that much easier than installing
  without it, but would have the benefit of familiarity.)

[MERGED PR80] Rototill the sources changing PGSQL_*_VER conditionals to
  use PG_VERSION_NUM directly. It appeared in PG 8.2 and we are not
  trying to support earlier versions. I earlier simplified the build
  process to depend on PG_VERSION_NUM anyway, but found that #include
  order in some files made that error prone. It will be safer and more
  readable to just make the change throughout.

- Add COMMENT ON in the code that creates the sqlj schema and objects in
  it. Not a big deal, but seems a bit unpolished to have no comments on
  those objects.

[COMMITTED] scour the wiki content for the most obviously obsolete info,
  version references to PG 8.0.3 and Java 1.4, etc., which can be
  replaced with links to the /one/ page of version targets in the new
  docs.  Not the time for a significant rewrite of anything in there,
  just removal of obvious wrong info.

[MERGED PR78] same for the historical documents in the docs/
  subdirectory.

- Release notes would be good. 1.4.3 came out in September 2011. There's
  a lot to talk about since then.

[MERGED PR85] I propose some annotation keyword changes, as I think
  1.5.0 will be the first numbered release featuring the annotation
  support, so there will probably never be a better time to improve some
  keywords if appropriate. I'll compose a separate e-mail about that.
