Compatibility for Blender 2.8, 2.9

[jennybrown8]

When installing meshlint into Blender 2.93, I receive an error "Upgrade to 2.8x required" for this add-on. It would be nice to have this be compatible with newer Blender versions so it can continue to be used. Right now, although the "enable" checkbox is checked, the error seems to prevent the add-on from actually loading in. Thanks!

I have tried this plugin on many versions of blender (on mac silicone) 2.8.0, 2.8.3, 2.9 and get the same error and it prevents the plugin from loading.

Please see the port on the Sav Martin fork as that works with 2.8 up to 4.1:

At version 4.2 Blender moved external script management from "Addons" to "Extensions", these require a slightly different loading process:
