I see that in 2.0 you've added Libstub and AceAddon, but haven't included the libraries. This makes your addon not work if it is the only addon enabled. You either need to bundle the libraries or set your packager to do that.

Can you help me with that? As you can probably tell by now, this is the only LUA and addon development I've ever worked on (and I didn't even start the project), I'm finding the docs on the matter very confusing as well.

Do you zip up and publish a release yourself or do you use a packager to automate it?

sorry, I missed your reply!!!
I have curseforge doing the packaging of tagged commits

I'll need to see your .pkgmeta file, which you don't have in the repository here.
Or try and figure it out from: https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000197281-automatic-packaging
They're not clear about how to include libraries, their only example is libs/LibDialog: url: https://github.com/wildstarnasa/LibDialog.git
