Is modernizr.js still useful? [closed]

I'm not looking for opinions but technical arguments to form my opinion. I know some people can't understand the difference, but it's a matter related to other proffesional area.

I'm trying to actualize my knowledge about HTML5 AND I'd like to know if modernizr.js is still useful to solve some client cravings. I'm reading material about HTML5, but the newest that talks about modernizr.js was published 3 years ago. I didn't find info in modernizr site newer than April 2013, neither a useful clearly actualized article published this year.

I'll appreciate any help.

Actualization:

No, there are no info actualized about what I'm looking for. Just tools to test, one by one, the elements modernizr tests. I have tested some elements listed in modernizr site. Every one is, at this day, supported by the browsers, so modernizr is not necessary for them. I'll check each element in order to decide if modernizr still could help or is dead.

Special thanks to ferr.

It depends on your users. Modernizr is meant to help you determine if you can use functionality that may be missing from some browsers and found in more modern browsers. If your users could possibly be using browsers that do not have functionality that you plan to use, and Modernizr is capable of helping you fill in that gap, then Modernizr is still useful to you.
