Seems not especially maintained: "The latest version is 1.1.4 (November 5, 2016)."

May still be functioning well; did not try it.

Right it still functions correctly.

There are more recent commits on master they just haven't release in a while.

I think they are waiting for the Tor team to provide an API for v3 hidden services before resuming work on the project.

there's also work being done on a golang implementation, as well as integration with tails (tor-over-tor is unideal so this requires some effort)
