PL/Java brings functions, triggers, aggregates, types, operators, etc. in Java.

1.6.6 is the sixth minor update in the 1.6 series, for applications on PostgreSQL 9.5 or later and Java 9 or later. Legacy applications requiring older PostgreSQL or Java versions may be supported by the 1.5 series.

1.6.6 adds support for PostgreSQL 16 and fixes some bugs, with few other notable changes. Further information on the changes may be found below.

Upcoming changes in Java beyond version 17 will affect PL/Java. For more on those changes and how PL/Java will adapt, please bookmark JEP 411 on the PL/Java wiki.

Current users of a 1.5.x release should also review the 1.6.0 release notes for changes that may require attention before updating to 1.6.x.
