Hello,

Not exactly. I said it's no longer _maintained_ (i.e. won't receive 
further features) because iPhoto has been obsolete for years and the 
database format for Photos is different. You can still try it out if you 
have a legacy iPhoto database.

Or you can try osxphotos.
It's basically your choice. 🙂
