Hmmm... maybe adding a 4th number for a beta version will work.
I just hacked an installed plugin on my system to be (1,14,3,1) and tried the plugin update in calibre. It correctly showed that version 1.14.3.1 was installed and that 1.14.4 was available.
Changing the version to (1,14,4,1) shows that 1.14.4.1 is installed with no updates available, and that 1.14.4 is the available version.
So I get the feeling that the simplest solutuon is for community members to leave the first three digits beinbg the version of the plugin they are basing their mod on, add that 4th digit, and to increase it if they do make additional changes.
