Obtainium does not download latest version 0.8.11 from github

This is not a bug in Andor's Trail, since it has nothing to do with you. But I figured I would report it anyways (in the miscellaneous category, since it is not a bug).
I used to use F-Droid, but I now know that they are behind in regards to security issues (https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-dro ... ty-issues/). I do not know if these security issues matter in practice, since I am not aware of any instances of malware ever appearing on the F-Droid store. Nevertheless, I am now using Obtainium to get apks from github instead of using the F-Droid store (https://obtainium.imranr.dev/).
If I try using Obtainium to obtain Andor's Trail from https://github.com/AndorsTrailRelease/andors-trail, it will not download v0.8.11. If and only if the fallback to older releases option is used (which is enabled by default), it will allow me to download v0.8.10. Otherwise, it tells me that it cannot find a suitable release. Could it be because the release to 0.8.11 is not just titled with a version number but also with the words "Lake Laeroth"? Or could it be for some other reason? Of course, there is no way for you to know, since you do not run Obtainium or support it as a distribution method. However, I figured I would let you know about the issue anyways.
Also, if I try to download f-droid on your server, using the link above, it still links to version 0.8.9. I can still download it from your server by changing the link from static/AndorsTrail_v0.8.9.apk to static/AndorsTrail_v0.8.11.apk . But the link on the front page is outdated. I figured I would alert you to this as well.
