Description

New versions of ecj are published in Maven central at https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:org.eclipse.jdt%20a:ecj but I am not able to find a version changelog. E.g. from release 3.26.0 and 3.27.0 the minimum required Java version was changed from 8 to 11, which is an information I would like to have upfront before upgrading my dependencies.
