Current status/developments in Intelligent Design Theory

While there have been developments within evolutionary theory as well as other sciences, I was wondering what the current status is of the field of Intelligent Design?This is particularly pointed toward those advocating Intelligent Design. I realize there are developments within the legal/political arena, but I am more interested in the scientific arena.On the theoretical side, have there been any greater definitions or evidence of what objective complexity is? This would take the form of actual formulas and quantitative calculations/definitions.On the practical side, have there been any more identified irreducibly complex systems, and this discovery promoting greater research/understanding of that system?I am not being completely sarcastic with this. I haven't been reading any new ID info, and would like to know if there have been any changes within the field, or if it is remaining a static science.If there have been no new developments as a science, is this reason for concern?(I guess this subject belongs in Intelligent Design, though it could be in the Misc Topics thread.)
