The maintainer of PhantomJS is stepping down as Chrome has announced a headless mode in v59. Slightly sad about that. PhantomJS is pretty awesome for automated testing stuff.
I guess that doesn't necessarily mean the end for Phantom, but still, thanks to everyone who's been involved.

@trodrigues I've not had problems with it, but I don't use it particularly extensively. It's good to see things move forwards with browser tech though, that's for sure.
@onion2k and I even tried to help out with the project at one point. never even managed to get a build running locally.
@onion2k considering that PhantomJS in the last 2/3 years has become so problematic due to often being far behind on webkit versions and memory consumption issues, I'm actually glad to see this happening. I've either resorted to using SlimerJS or just running tests on JSDom.
