JabRef version 4.3 on Windows 10 x64

This issue seems like a small increment error which was introduced in JabRef 4.3 (see the first line here)

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install the most recent java version to date from this page (which is 1.8.0_171 to date)
  2. Install JabRef 4.3 with the installer provided
  3. Start JabRef and see the error message that 1.8.0_172 is required, although 1.8.0_171 is the most recent available version

The problem is, 1.8.0_171 and 1.8.0_172 were released simultaneously, shown here and here.
Version 1.8.0_171 does not update to 1.8.0_172 automatically, even after checking for new updates in the scheduler, so my question is: Does the CPU leak described in 3943 still persist in 1.8.0_171 or should JabRef support both versions?
