That is tricky as stem is not maintained anymore and therefore 
deprecated. There are no further releases planned and talking to atagar 
last time he said the master branch was not ready for release. We could 
think about minor point releases for the 1.8 series but those would just 
contain small bug fixes (like Python 3.10 compatibility) but no new 
features.

Hope this helps,
Georg
