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

1.6.8 is the eighth 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.

1.6.8 adds support for PostgreSQL 17, confirms compatibility with Java 23, and makes some slight build-process improvements to simplify troubleshooting reported build problems.

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.
