Supporting these new types is certainly desirable. As the conversion mechanism is designed to be extensible, maybe this can be achieved without increasing the minimum Java requirement for the core library: We could add a module (making [configuration] to a multi-module project) that just contains a converter for new Java 8 types. This module would then obviously require Java 8. The API for installing this converter probably would need some tweaking to make the extension of the conversion mechanism more convenient. But this should be doable. The user guide [1] describes this mechanism and how to add custom converters. While I am not strictly against switching to Java 8, I fear that there are still users who have to stick to version 1.7, for instance on Android.
