Coming from 1.5.1, this brings many new features, improvements and bugfixes.
Some more interesting are
- adding support for GeoTIFF
- add a PostGIS writer
- new csv driver with an automatic mode
A suitable PostGIS driver has to be manually installed from the OpenJUMP plugins pages,
because there are many different PostGIS versions around.
