Release Notes
https://github.com/kiwidude68/calibr...odreads-v1.8.0

This addresses the issue mentioned above of the plugin not respecting turning off the "Get all contributing authors" setting. So now you won't get translators, illustrators, introduction authors etc all being returned as authors for a book with that setting off (which is the default).

Note that I still had to make a decision on pseudonyms (pen names). I decided to return both. I didn't want to add yet another setting to control this (which would lead to another round of translation updates etc).

So for example the book "Thinner" will return both "Richard Bachman" and "Stephen King" as the authors. There will be some people who want that, others who don't - if you don't you can always either (a) turn off updating author metadata completely (what I do), or (b) edit the authors after to how you prefer them to be...
