Linux-aarch64 wheels are currently unavailable for this version because of what looks like a problem on Github machines - we're seeing random errors when attempting to build PyMuPDF for Linux-aarch64.

Not sure if you can edit it, but list of fixed issued on the releases page is incorrect - it looks like the last digit of each issue number was removed?

Many thanks for noting this. The releases page should be correct now.
