The extensions site recently added support for a custom "version-name" string in metadata: gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/extensions-web/-/merge_requests/154 This allows developers to control the version that is exposed to users. As the version according to the developer is almost always more relevant than the automatic version assigned by the website, use it instead of the "version" field if set.

GNOME Extensions
GNOME Extensions is a small app for managing GNOME Shell extensions. It is usually built as part of gnome-shell, but can be used as a stand-alone project as well.
Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system.
Installation
If Extensions is not already installed on your GNOME system, we recommend getting it from flathub.
Building
Before the project can be built stand-alone, the po directory has to be populated with translations (from gnome-shell).
To do that, simply run the included script:
$ ./generate-translations.sh
You can then build and install the project:
$ meson setup --prefix=/usr _build
$ meson compile -C _build
$ meson install -C _build
$ /usr/bin/gnome-extensions-app
For development you can also install the project to a temporary directory (e.g. replace /usr with /tmp/install above).
