David Shanske on "[Plugin: Indieweb Post Kinds] Parse error"

Hi,
I just updated the plugin and all the pages in my blog went blank.
PHP Version 5.3.19

I tued on WP_DEBUG and got this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /Customer Web Sites/johnjohnston/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/indieweb-post-kinds/includes/Mf2/Parser.php on line 356

deleted the plugin via ftp and the site came back.

Cheers

John

I updated the Parser, which is a third-party library. But I don't get this error on any of my sites. Will investigate tonight and address.

Found the problem, the latest changes to the Parser are using short array notation that only came in in 5.4.

Will try to pursue upstream to get to minimum 5.3 as advertised and manually address tonight.

Manually removed the code in question, opened an issue in the php-mf2 parser library, pushed Version 2.3.6 which should be PHP 5.3 compatible.
