+ * Lower Maven prerequisite in the `pom.xml` file to 3.0 ([issue #93](https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp/issues/93))
  * Use `Info.cppTypes` for all `Parser` type substitutions, in addition to macros and templates ([issue bytedeco/javacpp-presets#192](https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp-presets/issues/192))
  * Make `Parser` take into account Java keywords not reserved in C++, casting issues with `int64_t`, and `const` value types in basic containers
  * Let users define `NATIVE_ALLOCATOR` and `NATIVE_DEALLOCATOR` macros to overload global `new` and `delete` operators
