Phing release of v161118 with the following changes:

- **Bug Fix:** Exclude unapproved comments from the dropdown menu on the 'Subscribe Without Commenting' form. See [Issue #299](#299).
- **Enhancement:** When parsing templates, this release uses `include()` instead of `eval()` whenever possible. This improves compatibility with shared hosting providers and makes it easier to debug template parsing issues should they occur. See [Issue #192](#192).
- **PHP v7 Compatibility:** After further testing, it was found that while Comment Mail is compatible with PHP v7.0, you must be running PHP v7.0.9+. Starting with this release of Comment Mail if you're running PHP v7 < 7.0.9 a warning is displayed in the WordPress Dashboard asking the site owner to upgrade to PHP v7.0.9 or higher. Note: While PHP v7.0.9 is adequate, PHP v7.0.10 is strongly recommended. See [Issue #272](#272).
- **New SparkPost Integration** (Pro):  It is now possible to use SparkPost for Replies-via-Email (RVE) instead of Mandrill. Note that SparkPost is now the suggested RVE Handler for Comment Mail because Mandrill changed its pricing structure a while back. In short, Mandrill requires a fee, whereas SparkPost (recommended) offers Relay Webhooks as a part of their free plan. See [Issue #265](#265).
- **New Feature** (Pro): Adding support for MailChimp integration. It is now possible to give users the option of subscribing to your site-wide mailing list whenever they leave a comment or reply; i.e., in addition to subscribing to comment reply notifications they can also join your MailChimp mailing list. See [Issue #114](#114).

 - **Bug Fix**: Fixed a bug that was generating a fatal error when replying to comments. This bug only affected the Lite version of Comment Mail and was introduced by the previous release (v160818) where [work](https://github.com/websharks/comment-mail/issues/285) was done to strip out unused Pro-only code from the Lite codebase. A few references to Pro-only functions were missed and that resulted in fatal errors for the Lite version in some scenarios. See [Issue #297](https://github.com/websharks/comment-mail/issues/297).
