 * It will be great if you can go through to update the classes so they use a constructor
   named __construct() rather than the name of the class. When using PHP 7.0 the
   use of the name of the class as the constructor is deprecated so the debug.log
   fills up with deprecation notices about the SendPress classes.
 * Why use PHP 7.0? Because it is *much, much* faster. The Zend team quote 2.5 times
   faster but my experience is that is closer to 10 times faster.

 * HI bseddon,
 * Working on this now should be all fixed in the next release.
