This release downgrades the required JRE version from 17 to 8 since Java 17 doesn't provide any crucial features for the sake of this project. I believe it would be more benefical in terms of out of the box support since some systems may not have Java 17 or a higher version while they already have Java 8 installed.
This issue made me realize that.
Note: This release doesn't introduce any new feature or bug fix. If you already have 1.4.1 version, it performs literally the same behavior except this release is able to run on more JREs down to Java 8.
Full Changelog: 1.4.1...1.4.2
