Arbitrary URLs is going to be added to core WP in version 4.4. There won’t be any further development on this plugin.
Thanks Ron.
I presume that if I have not implemented it as yet, then the best bet would be to wait for WP 4.4?

If your schedule allows it then waiting would probably be your best bet.

Will sites which already have this plugin up and running have a smooth upgrade path ? Any idea where I can see the specs related to this change documented ?
I have the same questions as LumberHack, as I’m just about to push the button on this.
WP 4.4 comes december:
wordpress.org/about/roadmap
LumberHack and johanponken and kirkward:
I have several WordPress version 3.3 multi-sites for myself and clients, using the wordpress-mu-domain-mapping development ver 0.5.5.1 and it works well with no error messages or problems.
You can “push the button” now. Yes, if you can wait, WP 4.4 will be good, but that is a “long time”.
From https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/developers/ click the “Current Version” link, aka
https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping.0.5.5.1.zip
My 2012 instructions are still good (I’ve done minimal updates to keep it current):

Will sites which already have this plugin up and running have a smooth upgrade path ?
I can’t say for certain but I’m expecting you will be able to unmap the domain then edit the URL of the site to be the mapped domain.
Hi Ron — Do you have visibility into a trac ticket showing this effort in progress? It is not clear to me in the following list where this is included in the 4.4 milestone.
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?component=Networks+and+Sites&milestone=4.4
Thank you!
Ah, interesting, will have to keep an eye on this.
Update from WordPress core team is that this is related to https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31240 , which will make it “Possible to add arbitrary domains/paths”.
Hi Ron, do you have any preference on an origin github repo to fork to track ongoing development?
Another update regarding 4.4 changes and WP_Network https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/10/28/multisite-focused-changes-in-4-4/
“Take a look at ms-settings.php if you are using a custom sunrise.php … This is a backward compatible change, though should be tested wherever your code interacts with $current_site, especially if anything has been done to extend its structure.”

@here – thanks for the links. I am subscribed to the make blog so I am emailed all posts.
Nothing has been done in domain mapping to extend the $current_site object. FWIW, I’m not aware of any plugin that extends the $current_site object.
