I think I'll release A48 in a week or two and then I'll release A49 once I get the Pi 64-bit version going.  Its possible A48 could still include one but probably unlikely.

The problem I face with a 64-bit ARM version (and the new Apple hardware) is that I don't have hardware to develop on.

I have considered a setup something like this for Pi development (as an alternative to the Pi 4, which prices have tripled for thanks to scalpers):

Full transparency: My budget is $95 which is about 2 years of donations (mostly from one person who doesn't donate anymore) so this is a little bit of an investment.  I am trying not to spend my own money on hardware that is only used for Mystic at this point in my life lol.

I am also looking at emulation options which is what I tried once before with pretty poor results.  And I might have a Pi 3 to use which I think can run 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS?
