Upgrading to 2.0.0 from 2.0.0-alpha2 fails because of minSdkVersion 17 dependency

I’ve been using 2.0.0-alpha2 and upgraded to the final 2.0.0 with my project that supports api level 16. Now I can’t build my project because I get the following error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processStandardBetaDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 16 cannot be smaller than version 17 declared in library [com.xwray:groupie:2.0.0] /Users/coltonidle/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/groupie-2.0.0.aar/d6d373b79a4ea48/AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 16
  	Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 16,
  		or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 17,
  		or use tools:overrideLibrary="com.xwray.groupie" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)

I didn’t see anything in the release notes about this so I’m assuming it wasn’t purposeful.

Nope. No Kotlin in this project (yet).

Found this message in my build.gradle

Found versions 27.0.2, 26.1.0. Examples include com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.0.2 and com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:26.1.0 more...

I’m not targeting or using 27.* of anything (builds, sdk, compile, min, support libs). Running gradlew app:dependencies I can see that groupie brings in 27.0.2 of recyclerView.
