There is another major update planned, to give you some tools to export instances via scatter node .csv files. But other than that and potentially some bug fix releases there won't be much work happening here anymore. An integrated plugin will (hopefully) be the future of Octane with C4D.
Looks to me that the integrated plugin is the next big step! We just have to be patient. In the interim, the updated exporter provides functionality that was previously unavailable to us C4D users. To me, I much prefer it this way... a little bit of time spent developing a robust exporter- that will last us the duration it takes to develop a fully integrated solution.
