Release a new version and bump the PHP version requirements to >= 7.2 after that

[oliverklee]

According to https://wordpress.org/about/stats/, PHP version usage for WordPress sites now is < 5% for PHP < 7.2. Hence, according to https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/57345, WordPress is going to raise its minimum required PHP version to 7.2. soon.

I propose we release a new version of this package and then raise the PHP version requirement to 7.2.

@sabberworm @westonruter What do you think?

[westonruter]

Yes, I am fine with that.

[sabberworm]

Me too

@sabberworm Will you take care of doing the release? Can I help in any way?

@sabberworm I've also seen that version 8.4.0 has a tag, but no GitHub release (with change notes) yet. Should I create one?

[oliverklee]

We have released 8.5.0 now and are working on 9.0.0. Closing.
