The PostgreSQL pgJDBC team is proud to announce the release of version 42.6.0.

This version has two major changes.
1. The use of synchronized has been replaced with re-entrant locks. This is will facilitate the use of lightweight threads aka Project Loom.
2. Previously we used `Object.finalize()` to monitor for connection leaks. Java 9 has Cleaner, but we still need to support Java 8.
thankfully Juan Lopes wrote [LazyCleaner](https://github.com/juanplopes/lazycleaner). We borrowed the code (Thanks again!) and are now using LazyCleaner instead of finalize().

Many thanks to those who contributed!
See the [ChangeLog](https://jdbc.postgresql.org/changelogs/2023-03-17-42.6.0-release/) for details.

The release has been pushed to Maven central.

The source can be found at our [GitHub repo](https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc)
