Subject: Re: [Pljava-dev] PL/Java 1.5.0-BETA3 announced (release candidate)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

PL/Java brings functions, triggers, and types in Java. 1.5.0, now in
third beta/release candidate, supports latest PostgreSQL and Java
versions with a range of improvements and fixes.

Project site:  http://tada.github.io/pljava/
Release notes: http://tada.github.io/pljava/releasenotes.html

Although PL/Java has historically used numbered betas and not "RC" releases,
this may be considered a 1.5.0 release candidate.

Changes since 1.5.0-BETA2:

* Fix for CVE-2016-2192, which could affect sites that are using
  PL/Java's type mapping features. (A mitigation before upgrading to
  1.5.0 is simply to REVOKE EXECUTE ... FROM PUBLIC on the functions
  sqlj.add_type_mapping and sqlj.drop_type_mapping, and grant the
  privilege selectively to users or roles needing it.)
* A workaround is documented for faulty builds of OpenJDK 6 and 7 found
  on Ubuntu
* Fixed: bogus values when using some user-defined types on
  little-endian hardware
* Fixed: user-defined types failing to be registered depending on the
  first access in a session
* Fixed: TupleDesc reference leak warnings involving composite
  user-defined types
* Partial support (and a working example) added for user-defined types
  with type modifiers
* Extensive added documentation on tuning Java VM options, including
  class data sharing

Please see the release notes for more details and the cumulative list of
changes.

Many thanks to all the individuals and organizations listed in the release
notes under Credits.
