Moutain duck Windows on ARM support March 2025

I love using mountain duck but it seems to be draining battery fast for my surface laptop 7. I assume it is because it is running on the prism layer. I could be wrong though.
Is there any news regarding when there will the a version mountain duck that supports Windows on ARM? I saw the last post regarding this matter was on July/2024.

Depends on what you're doing (heavy synchronization, directory traversal, smart synchronisation indexing). The more items there are for Mountain Duck to keep track of and work on, the more processing time is required to get to an idle state again. This is independent of the translation layer, which could have a negative impact on processing time, thus increasing in energy usage.

The next major version will at release or some time after feature a native arm64 build.
For a current state:
We've started with getting Cyberduck Core to run on .NET 8 x64 and multi-target for .NET Framework x64 and .NET 8 x64. We began working on arm64, but due to build system limitations getting .NET 8 arm64 into the mix is quite the effort, so I started the effort towards a more cohesive Windows build process - which isn't finished yet. The goal of this: Getting Cyberduck CLI running on .NET 8 x64 and arm64, which would allow us to get closer towards an arm64 native Mountain Duck.

Long story short:

• We prioritized arm64 for Cyberduck CLI to get something of Cyberduck running on arm64
• Adding yet-another target to the build process is error-prone and not sustainable (we have .NET Framework x64, .NET 8 x64, and now .NET 8 arm64)
• Remove tech-debt in the build process allowing easier migration and multi-targeting
• Get Cyberduck CLI running on arm64
• Get all this effort into V10, and with that into the next major Mountain Duck version
