I tried it and it worked, so I didn't think about looking up official
Syntax.
When I used [1.8 it was also accepted (just didn't work of cause).
But maybe to be safe use the official Syntax?
update:
found this
"Need to be able to declare minimum, maximum allowed versions of a dependency (both min and max may be optional), and allow "holes" for known incompatible versions."
maybe this "may be optional" is the explanation? /shrug
