I'm not sure anything really requires Java 8. I could probably easily put it back to Java 7. I think I bumped it up when I was trying to get things to build under Java 11.
I guess I just thought that by now, no one will be using Java 7, since it's been out of maintenance for a while. (Oracle ceased public availability of security fixes and upgrades for Java 7 as of April 2015). Because of this, I thought that it would not be a major change for most users - I think they wouldn't notice; so in practical terms, an unnoticed change might not warrant a bump to 2.11 :-). If you feel strongly, I'll redo the release without changing the target to java 8 (leaving it at 7), but I think it would be work for no real-world benefit. -Marshall On 11/6/2018 4:31 PM, Richard Eckart de Castilho wrote: > On 5.
