PL/Java 1.5.7 is a minor bugfix in the legacy 1.5 branch that continues
to support PostgreSQL releases before 9.5 and Java versions before 9.
It fixes one bug in XML Schema handling for some non-en_US locales.

PL/Java 1.6.1 is the first minor update in the newer 1.6 series that
supports PostgreSQL 9.5 and later with Java 9 and later, with an improved
build system, CI testing for Linux (x64 and ppc64le), Mac OS, and Windows
(MSVC and MinGW-w64), function validation at CREATE FUNCTION time, a smarter
SQL generator, and configurable, fine-grained permissions that go beyond
just "trusted" and "untrusted".

1.6.1 fixes two bugs in 1.6.0, and improves SQL-generator coverage of
PostgreSQL features with the addition of Java source annotations @Aggregate,
@Cast, and @Operator. It is able to complete a set of operators related by
commutation or negation without requiring a Java method for each one.

For applications currently running on 1.5, moving to 1.6 is encouraged
after review of the 1.6 release notes for areas that may need attention.
