Network Explorer not available in the latest release of Orange and add-on

[ajdapretnar]

Network Explorer isn't available in a freshly installed add-on on a freshly installed Orange. I assume the issue is in Numpy 2 compiling.

A module that was compiled using NumPy 1.x cannot be run in
NumPy 2.1.3 as it may crash. To support both 1.x and 2.x
versions of NumPy, modules must be compiled with NumPy 2.0.
Some module may need to rebuild instead e.g. with 'pybind11>=2.12'.

If you are a user of the module, the easiest solution will be to
downgrade to 'numpy<2' or try to upgrade the affected module.
We expect that some modules will need time to support NumPy 2.

This was already fixed and I was surprised to see it. Then I saw that all add-ons had old versions. So, a bit of investigation showed that add-on version list hasn't been updated since "Sep 13, 2025".

We had an action on https://github.com/biolab/orange3-addons/ that runs every hour, and that action was disabled by Github because repository hasn't been updated for more than two months. Now I ran it manually and hopefully newer versions are active.
