      <action dev="jahlborn" type="update">
        Jackcess now requires a Java 8+ runtime.  As part of this update, all
        dependencies have been updated to their latest versions.
      </action>
      <action dev="jahlborn" type="update">
        Add support for Java 8 Temporal types.  Date/time fields will now
        accept as input most Temporal types (e.g. LocalDate, LocalTime,
        LocalDateTime, etc).  Additionally, date/time fields can optionally be
        changed to output LocalDateTime instead of Date.  This behavior is
        configurable on a per-Database basis by setting the DateTimeType for
        the database.  All Date based APIs now have a parallel LocalDateTime
        API.  Note that only one of those will work depending on how
        the Database is configured.  The legacy Date support will be the
        default initially, but is deprecated and may be removed in the future.

        for the expr package has changed in an incompatible way.  However,
