Hello Emmanuel,
Yes, but 8 will continue to have security patches for some time (3 years) and
is still widely used.
Only if you pay. And we are talking about big $.
We have absolutely no way to get those corrected Java versions which may
have an impact on our code base.
That's why I think we should move forward.
Because we’re a security library and mission critical software, it’s important
for us to support older versions, if practical.
Having said that, if no one chimes in, we’ll likely leave 8 behind for next
release, 3.0.0.
No irreversible steps here. If a compelling case to support 8 comes up later,
it will be possible to do, via a branch off the last release, e.g. 2.0.8
Thanks for weighing in Emmanuel
