• Added Actions Chains support. (#un-pogaz)

Else, @JSWolf if I understand your point of view, the one of BetterRed don't come to nowhere either.
So if your publish any hacked version of a plugin in the future, I encourage you to use a exeprimental/preview version number rather that let the official untouched. Like 1.14.3.100. That allow to know that this version is a altered one, and in the same time there is no risk of conflict with the next version when updating in Calibre.

I've renumbered this version to 1.14.4 and I've applied the fix. It now works with calibre 8.12. It's in beta.

Except that 1.14.4 is the one that include the fix, so our version is absolutly irelevant now. And you don't use experimental version number.

The version I've released as v1.14.4 in the first post is built on kiwidude's v1.14.3. It should have everything from v1.14.3. v1.14.3 was 'released' in github. If it wasn't previously released here, I assume that was an oversight.

I'm going to strongly recommend against this. The standard plugins is major.minor.micro and stored internally as a list of 3 integer values. Adding a fourth number is outside standard. Unless I missed Kovid blessing that, don't do it.

I also recommend against bumping from v1.14.3 to v1.14.100 as test versions because kiwidude's standard is to increase the micro number for each release. v.1.4.4 would not be called out as a new version if you had v1.14.100 installed.

I could have bumped the new release versions I made to v1.15.0 or v1.14.5 to be higher than JSWolf's versions. I didn't because: a) it's not my repo, so I followed kiwidude's established standard and b) there's no effective difference between (as far as I know) between JSWolf's versions and what I released.

@JimmXinu My recomandation use four numbers: Release, Major, Minor, Experimental
So the fourth number don't interfer with the first three official. Yes, Calibre accept that like fine, there is absolutly no issue since it compare the raw version tupple.
So if you use a hacked version 1.14.3.100, when a official version 1.14.4 will be releasead, the official will overwrite the experimental.

This is also being discussed over here, FYI.
