Description

Hi, I bought a new laptop year ago - it's a Microsoft Copilot+ PC Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x with the new ARM64 Snapdragon X Elite CPU and Windows 11 ARM.
I'm wondering if there are any plans to release John the Ripper with native binaries compiled for Windows ARM64? I can see there is only Windows installer for x86 and x64. Note Windows 11, the only supported desktop version, is released only for x64 and ARM64. Thanks
