Hello!



As you may or may not know, PHP7 (the next version of the language version PocketMine uses) is going to be released soon. This has been highly anticipated, as this update will bring huge performance improvements, and PocketMine will benefit of this greatly (expect at least two times as fast in the worst case!). It also adds new language features, which we will be using.



However, to fully use all the new features, we need to do partial backwards-incompatible changes to the plugin API, so the version will be bumped to 2.0.0. But wait! Don't start strong arguments yet. Why are we doing this? What is going to happen to existing plugins? Will I have to do something? Should I hate...
