cannot upgrade to Magento v.1.9.4.0 because of PHP7?

[blueskies7777]

We are running Magento v.1.9.3.10. Our server has PHP 7.0.32 installed.

I just tried to upgrade to Magento v.1.9.4.0 - then I received this error message in Connect Manager:

CONNECT ERROR: Package community/Mage_All_Latest 1.9.4.0: requires PHP version >= 5.2.0 and <= 6.0.0 current is: 7.0.32-1~dotdeb+8.1

Is anyone having an idea, what to do in this case? I don't want to go back tp PHP 5.6 to avoid this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Mario

I was able to successfully update Magento 1.9.4.0 to 1.9.4.1 using Magento Connect by downgrading PHP to 5.6, performing the update, and then switching the PHP back to 7.2.
