Compatibility with PHP 7 and PHP 7.1 on 0.7.8 release

The latest release 0.7.8 of Bonfire is compatible with PHP version 7 or 7.1?

The 0.8.3 release is a better one to use, though the last update of CodeIgniter (3.1.4 I believe) was done in the develop branch only.

But I haven't specifically tested all features under PHP 7. When I was updating the version of CI last, though, it worked fine from my limited tests.

PHP 7 is not compatible with 0.7.8? Why is 0.8.3 release better? Would adding CI 3.1.4 from develop branch to Bonfire 0.7.8 work? (i.e. update bonfire/ci3 and application/third_party/MX/ directories).

I am upgrading my entire environment to Docker containers, currently on bonfire 0.8.3 release and PHP 5.6. Looking to move to PHP 7 and CI to the latest verison: CI 3.1.4/5

I'm not sure if it's 0.7.8 is compatible with PHP7, though I imagine it is. The biggest change between the 0.7 and 0.8 branches was the switch from CodeIgniter 2 to CodeIgniter 3.
