Changes
This is being done to ensure that we can continue to properly maintain this SDK going forward, as Java 7 is no longer receiving public updates. As other Java libraries increasingly require Java 8, it becomes difficult to maintain Java 7 support.
Additionally, Java 8 offers several improvements that we can leverage going forward, such as new Date/Time APIs, built in Base64 encoding/decoding, among others.
