 From here:

Current Version

This is the current version of the driver. Unless you have unusual
requirements (running old applications or JVMs), this is the driver you
should be using. It supports Postgresql 7.2 or newer and requires a 1.5
or newer JVM. It contains support for SSL and the javax.sql package. It
comes in two flavours, JDBC3 and JDBC4. If you are using the 1.6 or 1.7
JVM, then you should use the JDBC4 version.
