Laravel 5.5 & Horizon (Why not PHP 7.0?)

[Aferz]

Reading the README I've seen that Horizon requires PHP 7.1+ & Laravel 5.5 but Laravel 5.5 requires 7.0+...

Is this a mistake or is intended and we won't be able to use Horizon with Laravel in a PHP 7.0 environment.

This could be an obvious answer, but if so, I'm interested in why 7.1+ and not 7.0+. I mean, what's the key feature that doesn't allow this package to downgrade to 7.0.

Thanks!

Because Horizon uses Asynchronous signal handling, which is available in 5.1

@themsaid I think you mean 7.1*

Understood!

Thank you!
