The old MHX format has been deprecated (both by MakeHuman and by the author of MHX). Although it's still a part of Blender's code base, it is not recommended to keep using it.
For the MHX maintainer's (Thomas Larsson) part, MHX has been replaced with MHX2. More info on this (as well as downloads) see https://bitbucket.org/ThomasMakeHuman/mhx2-makehuman-exchange
For MakeHuman's part, it was decided to not integrate MHX2 in the core distribution for a few reasons:
- It's a large code base with a different release cycle than MH
- Having MHX2 as a plugin rather than as a part of the code makes for better code structure
- It was felt that it was better to shift focus to generic formats such as DAE and FBX.
If you need the specific features of MHX2, visit the link above and follow the instructions.
