I believe there has not been any change to get rid of support for Java 32-bit 
(meaning, a newer version of GoCD should still work with a 32-bit Java - I 
think), but on Windows, getting a newer 32-bit Java has been hard. Java 8 is 
still available, but because of all the recent Oracle/Java/Support changes, 
it's not easy to find a good alternative.

For instance, this is available:
https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=hotspot#x32_win

However, they haven't been able to confirm TCK compliance:
https://adoptopenjdk.net/support.html?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=hotspot#jck

I'm pretty sure we haven't done anything to remove support for 32-bit Java. 
Maybe someone who knows for sure will chime in (probably in early January). 
Java 8 support will soon be dropped, for newer versions of GoCD, since it is 
EOL (end of life), with some premier support still around from Oracle. There's 
a lot of flux in this space, with even Amazon doing backports to keep Java 8 
alive.

Cheers,
Aravind
