Changes
This change sets the minimum required Java version for this library to Java 8.
While this library itself targets the Java 7 platform, third-party dependency updates have effectively made Java 8 the minimum required version since version 1.0.7.
As Java 7 is no longer receiving public updates, this change explicitly targets Java 8.
Additionally, this will allow us to take advantage of features available in Java 8, such as new Date/Time APIs, better asynchronous support, among other features, going forward.
