plans to support PHP 7.0?

Hi

Do you have a timetable for support for PHP 7.0?

I ask because I upgraded a server using Live Helper Chat to PHP 7.0. All appears to work fine, except for XMPP support which we use.

The XMPP library has function calls in XMLStream.php file that fail due to backward incompatibility:
http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.incompatible.php
See the section entitled:  Changes to the handling of indirect variables, properties, and methods

I applied curly braces to amend the evaluation order in a number of lines in the endXML() and event() functions.
Following these changes the code runs as expected.

I appreciate this library is not your code.
Thanks for all the good work!
