I accidentally switched to a Java 11 JDK in the last version, this version is the same but recompiled with Java 8. If you are running Java 11 or higher, no need to update to this version.
If you are running Java 8 and have the ability to upgrade to at least Java 11, I recommend it. More plugins will likely be switching as time goes on, and more and more plugins are pushing for it, especially with the move to Java 16 in MC 1.17.
