Version 0.4.0 does not include updated listing.json

[tempdata73]

Newest version 0.4.0 does not include vega-lite version 5.2.0 in its listing.json file.

This has a cascading effect and generates an error when trying to build documentation on the altair repo (I actually discovered this whilst addressing #2645).

Reproducing the error

Just run make html under the doc directory, having all requirements installed via pip.

Error message:
exception: No matches for version='5.2.0' among ['4.0.2', '4.8.1', '4.17.0'].
Often this can be fixed by updating altair_viewer: pip install -U altair_viewer

This, however, does not fix the problem.

Possible solution

Taking a look at the logs, altair_viewer's latest version was published on November 2021, while the listing.json file was updated on January 2022. If I'm not terribly mistaken, republishing the package would fix this problem.

It would be great to have an update for this because the base altair package has now been updated on PyPI to expect v5.8, so it's no longer possible to view plots locally since the update to altair_viewer adding vega-lite-5.8.0.js hasn't been deployed yet

I believe this is related to this one.:

Since Altair 5.3, the functionality of Altair Viewer is now available in Altair via the vl-convert package instead. See the docs on how to use the browser renderer to display charts via .show(), and the PR vega/altair#3379 for more details.

We are going to archive this repo, so I'm closing all the open issues and PRs before doing so. Try out the new options for rendering charts mentioned above and if you run into issues, please open an issue directly in the altair or vl-convert repo.
