Wow, I haven't checked on this mod in about a year and I'm amazed. A year ago I kinda lost hope for this mod, along with DRPG and JItL, and pretty much quit Minecraft. Now that AoA, DRPG, and JItL (and even Aether II!) will all be updated to 1.12.2, it feels wrong not to play with these mods.
Yeah, quite a lot has happened throughout the last 4-5 months for the mod, which is great. Basically, a new dev has officially taken over as the dev of AoA, if you didn't know that already (Their name is Scimiguy). They've made new versions of the mod in 1.7.10, fixing hundreds of bugs and officially adding Shyrelands into the game.
If you're wondering why it seems so quiet here, the discord server sort of replaced this thread as the main hub of discussing AoA stuff.

Well there is a good chance that we might get a backport so don't worry. I feel like this mod belongs with AoA and DRPG aswell.

I am glad to see there is still hope.
Also, if anyone is planning to backport, please backport the 1.2 snapshot.
