Updating plugins for PHP 7.1

Some of you may have noticed that I’ve started updating my plugins to make them compatible with PHP 7.1.

Believing that PHP supported the Semantic Versioning method, documented at semver.org, I would have argued that these changes shouldn’t have been necessary; PHP 7.1 being a MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner.

But it seems I was wrong. PHP doesn’t follow semantic versioning. The PHP developers have broken things and I have to fix them if I want my code to run under PHP 7.1.

I’ve already had to change at least 9 plugins to run under PHP 7.1. I’m sure there will be a few more. Migrating to PHP 7.0, from PHP 5 point something, was a lot easier.
