 * Hi,
 * I have this plugin working on my WordPress 4.0 (development site) but it fails
   to activate on my LIVE WordPress 4.1 site.
 * I see that the support page says it is untested with this version of WP so I 
   thought I’d post the error I get when trying to activate the plugin.
 * “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
    “Parse error:
   syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /home/content/…more path…/wp-content/plugins/
   wp-announce/src/wp-announce.php on line 687”
