Perhaps SketchUp needs to be restarted. I hope this didn’t break with EW2.
It’s still not showing up, even after restarting SketchUp. Perhaps there is a bit of a lag between time it is published to when it goes live on the EM system.
And if you browse to the extension from extension warehouse in sketchup? Maybe you are not logged in?
This didn’t work either a few minutes ago, however the EM seems to have woken up all of a sudden today and reported 16 extensions to be updated, this being one of them, worked fine then.

Maybe the EM just hadn’t gotten back from the holiday leave.
Good to hear the update was working! 
Wonderful extension. I’m confused about something – well, I’m curious – when using Visual Merge on 2 perpindicular, touching wall solids, it adds interior edges to the face of one of the walls, where the other wall touches it. Curious if this is normal, necessary behavior of the extension. It’s not a problem necessarily. I’m also just trying to wrap my brain around how this extension works – At first, I assumed it simply hides edges where solids touch, and wouldn’t expect it to create/move edges.
Visual Merge was applied to the selected walls:
Results with default options (Manually hiding 3 walls):
Results when disabling option “Hide faces when merging” (Manually hiding 3 walls):
With that option disabled, section fill is working as intended (yay):
Section fill with default EVM settings:
This is intentional to be able to define and hide the face where the objects touch.
I created this extension before section fills, and when section fills came I was quite surprised how they handles hidden faces being cut. In my view, a hidden face is still there, just hidden, and I would have section fills completely ignore the visible state of faces.
I can’t remember on the top of my head and I’m not on the computer right now, but there may be an option in the extension to not hide faces, but with the side effect that they may bleed through and be visible at the seams.
Edit: saw you already found the face option. For some reason this mobile device can’t show the thread I’m replying to and my response I’m typing at the same time.
The option to hide faces was an afterthought to play better with fills. When not hiding faces I’m not sure there is a reason for the new interior edges to be created. If I understand my own reasoning all those years back these edges were added specifically to define the touching faces to be able to hide them. It’s possible they aren’t actually needed in your case.

The section cut edges of the non-hidden faces would probably show if the section fill colour was lighter.
I too would like the section fills to work always when the section cut loop resolves to a closed shape, whatever object they belong to. This also prevents section fills working with hole-cutting window and door components.

Will be available for SketchUp 2023?
It works on sketchup 2023
Seems to work in SU 2024, although I haven’t tested everything. Such a great extension.
Also, I’m trying a new workflow, which gives me a bit more control: After vis-merging some entities, e.g. merging walls with the roof, it creates a tag ‘Visually Merged’. I rename that tag ‘Visually Merged- walls to roof’… or whatnot. This can be handy for reversing merges with finer control, or displaying some geometry as merged and some with its lines, in order to preserve section fills (since Visual Merge can disrupt section fills).
If I want to reset ‘Visually Merged- walls to roof’, I just delete that tag, and when SU asks what to do with the entities, I move them to ‘untagged’. My other tag, ‘Visually Merged- roof halves’, stays intact.
Alternatively, If I want to use the extension’s ‘Reset Visual Merge’, I would delete my custom merge tag and then when SU asks what to do with the tag’s entities, move them to the ‘Visual Merge’ tag. Theoretically. I haven’t tried that part yet.
