The upcoming PHP 8.4 release will contain a new deprecation: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate-implicitly-nullable-types
However, this conflicts with the minimum PHP version this module requires, which is currently at PHP 7.0, which didn't have the nullable arguments feature yet, it was added in PHP 7.1.
So we decided to remove PHP 7.0 support from this module. This will most likely be tagged as a new minor version: 1.6.0
At the same times, we can improve our code quality a little bit by using some PHP 7.1+ features.
