+- update to 2.8.4:
+  * Support for Python 3.11 has been added.
+  * Thanks to Tobias Hangleiter for an improved accuracy complex `expm1` function.
+    While it is 25 % slower, it is significantly more accurate for the real component
+    over a range of values and matches NumPy outputs much more closely.
+  * Thanks to Kirill Kouzoubov for a range of fixes to constants parsing that was 
+    resulting in duplicated constants of the same value.
+  * Thanks to Mark Harfouche for noticing that we no longer need `numpy` version 
+    checks. `packaging` is no longer a requirement as a result.
