Unfortunately, it appears that new changes in the `golang.org/x/net/http2` package have caused it to no longer build under Go 1.8. As noted in Go's release policy [1], the latest two Go versions are officially supported, making that Go 1.11 and Go 1.10 currently. We do see ~10% users on Go 1.8 still which is larger than we'd hope when dropping an old version, but we don't have too much choice here. We believe that an upgrade to Go 1.9 for those users should be straightforward given that there generally no backward incompatible changes between new Go versions. See also discussion in #715.
