+- update to version 3.10:
+  * Officially support Python 3.14 and PyPy 3.11 and drop support
+    for Python 3.9 and PyPy 3.9.
+  * Fix an HTML comment parsing case in some Python versions that
+    can cause an infinite loop (#1554).
+  * Revert the default behavior of USE_DEFINITION_ORDER (to True).
+    The new behavior introduced in 3.9.0 is experimental and
+    results are inconsistent. It should not have been made the
+    default behavior (#1561).
+- increase the minimum python version to 3.10 as required by
+  upstream
+- stop requiring importlib-metadata:
+  it was only needed for python < 3.10
