Has XFENCE been abandoned?

Has XFENCE been abandoned? It results in a kernel panic the instant you boot the next version of macOS (which is being released to the public in a few weeks). I'm struggling with random kernel panics in High Sierra as well. There have been no updates or communication in some time. I would like to know one way or the other so I can start looking for alternatives. Thank you for your help!

    I wish I knew..  I miss running XFence and I'd love to have it work on my Mojave install.  I'm also unaware of any decent alternatives.

    So XFENCE 1.8.88 works great with Mojave on my MacBook Pro TB 2017 but causes kernel panics 2 minutes in to boot on my Mac Pro 2013. No idea why so far. I had to remove it via recovery mode.

     

    I'm honestly disappointed in how little resources this application is getting after being sold to F-Secure. The original creater would respond almost immediately, provide debug builds, and walk you through fixes. F-Secure appears to have bought it for the tech, but is only propping up the original application until a replacement comes out. That's my theory anyway. I hope I'm wrong. 

     

    Edit: Nevermind. Looks like it started kernel panicking my laptop as well. I had to remove it from both machines. 1.8.88 must be conflicting with some of Mojave's new SIP protections. I hope to see a fixed version soon.

    I have it running on Mojave and it seems to be fine, except for a rights issue.

     

    I did have a big problems with Mojave after upgrading from HS, but after a clean install it works great. My advice is to do a clean install. I've heard that many people have issues with it, my guess is more than usual.
