I have calibre installed on my Mac (OS 10.9.4 Mavericks). I had three calibre plug-ins (four if you count the Plug-in Updater).

After updating to calibre v2.3, two of these plug-ins are missing or are non-functional. Can someone enlighten me as to what happened?

1. Manage Sony x50 Reader Book List - now non-functional

appears in the Plug-in Updater list as an installed plug-in, but I can't get it to appear in the Toolbar (either with or without device connected).
this plug-in allowed me to choose the 3 books that appear on the home screen of my Sony Reader PRS-650.

2. Plug-in to update the read/unread status of books on the Sony Reader x50 - disappeared

I can't recall the exact name of this plug-in (and I can't seem to find it in the Plug-ins Index published within this forum). It no longer appears in the Toolbar (either with or without device connected), nor is it shown in the Plug-in Updater list.
this plug-in allowed me to set which books were read and which were unread. Unread books would appear with a "new" icon on my Sony Reader PRS-650.

I thought that if a plug-in were no longer compatible with calibre 2.3, the user would be prompted to uninstall it. Is it normal behaviour for a plug-in to just disappear if it has become outdated? Or is this a Mac OS 10.9 issue?

Thank you for any help you can provide.
