Thanks for the contribution - but we cannot just increase the minimum java version to 24 or even 25.

See #383 (comment).

See #383 (comment).

Yeah, but the PR is just on main. We would need a strategy how to handle this.
Maintaining two separate versions - I am not so eager.

[Goooler]

There could be 2 branches for maintaining, v2 and v3, e.g. https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow

• main for v9
• 8.x for v8

Alternatively, we can provide a multi-release jar. See JakeWharton/diffuse#477.
