I assumed 7.0+ would include 7.0 and anything higher, but this didn't  
work for 7.1.  So I just went with * to get our plugins working again  
quickly.  It would certainly be better to fix the version parser to  
work properly.

And it doesn't result in a 404 error, it results in the plugin not  
being loaded and an error displayed.
