This project has been effectively dead since April 2017, when Vitallium stepped down as maintainer as soon as Headless Chrome was announced [1]:

> Headless Chrome is coming [...] I think people will switch to it, eventually. Chrome is faster and more stable than PhantomJS. And it doesn't eat memory like crazy. [...] I don't see any future in developing PhantomJS. Developing PhantomJS 2 and 2.5 as a single developer is a bloody hell.

One potential path forward could have been to have PhantomJS support Headless Chrome as a runtime [2], which Paul Irish (of Google Chrome team) reached out to PhantomJS about. However, it seems there hasn't been enough interest/resources to ever make this happen.
