v1.2.0 has prebuilt binaries for windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64

https://github.com/makew0rld/didder/releases/tag/v1.2.0

• didder_1.2.0_macOS_arm64
• didder_1.2.0_windows_arm64.exe

On the other hand, v1.3.0 doesn't.

I'll send a pull request to resolve the issue soon.

• chore: update GoReleaser to release assets for darwin/arm64 and windows/arm64 #17

[suzuki-shunsuke]

https://github.com/makew0rld/didder/actions/runs/7279880843/job/19837113260#step:4:32

         • DEPRECATED: skipped windows/arm64 build on Go < 1.17 for compatibility, check https://goreleaser.com/deprecations/#builds-for-windowsarm64 for more info.
         • DEPRECATED: skipped darwin/arm64 build on Go < 1.16 for compatibility, check https://goreleaser.com/deprecations/#builds-for-darwinarm64 for more info.

• https://goreleaser.com/deprecations/#builds-for-windowsarm64
• https://goreleaser.com/deprecations/#builds-for-darwinarm64

GoReleaser version is old.

didder/.github/workflows/goreleaser.yml

Lines 20 to 23 in 409cfa6

	- name: Run GoReleaser
	uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v2
	with:
	version: 0.x

We should upgrade GoReleaser to v1, then the issue would be resolved.

[makew0rld]

I will manually upload these two builds so they exist for v1.3.0.

[suzuki-shunsuke]

@makew0rld Versions are wrong. Not 1.2.0 but 1.3.0.

[makew0rld]

Whoops, fixed now. Thanks.

[suzuki-shunsuke]

@makew0rld
Thank you!
Sorry to bother you, but I really appreciate it if you update the checksum file too to add checksums of windows/arm64 and darwin/arm64.

[makew0rld]

Ok fair enough, I've updated it.

[suzuki-shunsuke]

Thank you!

Err… It seems you've compiled windows binaries with too bleeding-edge Go which is incompatible with Windows 7. It causes a crash. Please, consider recompiling.

I'm not a maintainer of this project, but Microsoft ended Windows 7 support on January 14, 2020.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-7-support-ended-on-january-14-2020-b75d4580-2cc7-895a-2c9c-1466d9a53962

So I don't think we need to support Windows 7 anymore.
Again, I'm not a maintainer of this project. This is just my opinion.

@suzuki-shunsuke, this app, Didder, deals with the degradation of images to the graphics level of computers on cassettes and of handheld game consoles, which you probably didn't even catch, but I did. Isn't it absurd to require the latest OS for the sake of this conversion? Windows 7 has all the necessary arithmetic apparatus so that the formulas embedded in Didder still work. ImageMagick and VIPS work here.

The developers of Go language want to look dandy, to shake hands with the devils hegemons of the Silicon Valley, whereas I want apps to be future-proof. Think UNIX apps that are built to last across OSes without “do not touch after we're gone” fear-mongering. Microsoft is a business enterprise, they refuse to support this or that for reasons of profit and nothing else. They're forcing users to switch to the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model by means of artificial obsolescence, because it's profitable, not because it's the right step forward for our civilization. Do they offer any breakthroughs as before (think NTFS over FAT32, for example)? No, they roll out poorly coded, spying Windows 10-11-12+ and then calm your anxiety with a weekly dose of patches. This is a drug dealer-addict relationship, not a progress.

[suzuki-shunsuke]

I see. Thank you for your explanation.
I don't have a strong opinion, so I'll leave it to you and maintainers.

[makew0rld]

I have no interest in supporting OSes not supported by the latest Go compiler. Of course you are always able to compile from source with whatever compiler versions you wish.
