General question about attaching plugin zip files
I'm about to release a new version of my 'TTS to MP3' plugin. The new version will only run on calibre v5.4 and above and I've set the plugin's minimum_calibre_version accordingly.
Existing users of 'TTS to MP3' running a calibre version <v5.4 should be OK because they won't be offered the upgrade. But I would like to attach the older version of the plugin zip somewhere in the main thread for new users to find (and install manually) if they want it. My question is, am I right in thinking that post #1 of a plugin's main thread should only ever contain a single zip file, i.e. the latest version? Or can I store 2 zips in there without upsetting calibre's automated plugin update system? |

I will say that it would be handy if we could keep a few older versions in the first post. Last edited by JimmXinu; 10-28-2020 at 11:46 AM. Reason: fix grammar |

Since you have access to the second post, you could attach them to that?

No, you can have only a single zip file in the first post. use the second ost if you have access to it, or just make a new post with the older version and add a link to it in the first post.

Would it be possible to update the plugin system so it can deliver the version of the plugin that works for that version of Calibre? So if someone wanted this plugin but was running 4.23, then the version that's comparable will be downloaded. There are a lot of people who do not use MR and have no idea about the plugin threads and would not be looking for the old version.
