The development can be tracked on GitHub. Along with Next ADI we also intruduce our professional support for agencys, developers and site owners. Please note that the ADI v1 plugin is now deprecated and will not longer be supported. For existing ADI 1 users, who won’t upgrade to Next ADI: If you are running a multisite environment you shouldn’t update from 1.1.5 or lower to 1.1.6 or above. Since 1.1.6 the central settings apply for all sites. In the upcoming version Next ADI 2.0.0 you can choose between installation wide and site specific settings.
