BlenderOctane 1.x, 2.x future/roadmap

After the release of the Octane SE 1.5 release candidate (1.36) it became clear that the 1.x series development cycle comes to an end, unfortunatetly.

Now I wonder what that means for the Blender Plugin, since it doesn't benefit from the new features (alembic, lua scripting and new node system).
  • So, is the Blender Plugin feature complete or are there some more features to come?
  • Will the Plugin stay the prefered workflow or is a proper Blender Alembic export going to replace it in the long run?
  • What about Mac OS X builds? I'm still waiting eagerly for them to come!
    I want to use my macbook for using Blender and connect to OctaneServer on my windows/linux powerhorse via network.
Is there any roadmap for Octane 2.0 and the appropriate Blender Plugin somewhere?

Thanks for your time.
