Alf's latest blog comments list them pretty thoroughly.

The main change is that the Kindle tools now work with Kindle for PC 1.5.0
There are also minor tweaks to the calibre plugins for the latest plugin interface.

Hi,
No, but if you are, you can simply post your questions/issues in the comments at the end of the last topic on that blog and the developers will try to help.

Googling "apprentice alf's blog"—like the 5th post suggested—will answer that question.

A group of plugins for Calibre that can help you to read book formats on your e-reader that you might not normally be able to....questionable legality depending upon where you live, questionable ethics depending upon your own moral compass... Google and read Apprentice Alf's Blog to get full description. Due to questionable legality, the topic is not able to be discussed in specifics on this forum.

Good question! I've always deleted old version before adding a new version... never tried just adding the new one.

I found that Calibre replaces the old with the new automatically.

This is true. And usually fairly safe as long as the plugin developer doesn't change the internal naming convention of the plugin (either purposely or accidentally). If that happens you will probably end up with two conflicting versions of the plugin that may be hard to track down when debugging.

Even if you remove a plugin that has customized settings... those settings will be retained when the new version is installed (provided the internal naming convention is the same). So there's really no downside to removing the old version first.

While you will likely have no issues with replacing the old with the new... it has no advantage over removing and reinstalling. In fact... removing and reinstalling may save you some headaches in the future.

Or something like that.
