@howard What do you think about dropping support for 1.x branch?

[howard]

@mmachatschek 1.x is still in active use for some shop system plugins that have a very old PHP version baseline, so it's not time to do that yet.

Please limit the changes to what's necessary to make libflexport (2.x) compatible with PHP 7.4, without traces of introducing a new major version. That's a new topic that will soon get its own milestone issue to collect ideas and outline the plan for libflexport 3.0.

[howard]

@mmachatschek Your input for libflexport 3.0 is welcome in #114.

[mmachatschek]

@howard I updated the code again. I added support for PHP 7.1, as we would need to release a major version if we drop PHP 7.1? If not, please tell me. I would gladly update the code again.

[howard]

@mmachatschek PHP 7.1 is still part of our compatibility matrix, and based on known PHP versions used by customers, it will remain supported, for 2.x at least.
