Changes introduced in 944ddf8 to replace deprecated methods have broken a number of commands, most notably (according to number of issues reported) /enchant - see #986 and #987. While the reason given is that the plugin is at the mercy of Spigot and their API changes, there are still people on 1.7.10 and 1.8 who rely on this plugin.
EssentialsX could, in theory, continue to support these versions, but even if it is better to drop support for the older versions, it should be clear that there is no longer support for older versions in newer builds.
