I did just notice that listed python versions on PyPI is 3.8, if > 3.8 is not supported will support for > 3.8 be added anytime soon?

This issue is caused by parsing this page: "https://github.com/ashutoshvarma/libxpdf/releases"

Github changed its format, and now the code is not working anymore.

It would be much more robust and simpler to extract the release info from the API here:
