PL/Java 1.5 brings functions, triggers, and types in Java to PostgreSQL
releases from 11 back to 8.2. Release 1.5.2 fixes a regression in 1.5.1
that affected the conversion of PostgreSQL date values to Java java.sql.Date
objects.

## Change
Before 1.5.1, PostgreSQL date, time, and timestamp values could be accessed
in PL/Java as java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time, and java.sql.Timestamp objects.
PL/Java 1.5.1 added the option of accessing those values as objects of new
classes in the Java 8+ java.time package. The new classes are recommended as
a superior API for accessing dates, times, and timestamps.
However, one regression resulted in the older conversion between PostgreSQL
date and java.sql.Date, leading to an error of one day for some dates of the
year in some time zones. Release 1.5.2 restores the former behavior.
Please see the release notes for more complete information.
