+Development is begining to provide support for ARM 64 bit CPUs using the aarch64 architecture.
+
+Current status: nothing publicly released.
+Coding is progressing with many issues translating SSE to NEON. Some things are done very differently and some things may not be possible.
+The lack of flexible lane shuffling is a major problem. Some shuffles may have to be done by inserting one lane at a time.
+Current expectations are best performance will be with sha256 based algos and some algos that use AES. Current issues exist with AES for echo & fugue.
+Parallel 4 way hashing will not be provided initially but will be added later.
+Current problem algos include anything with Echo or Fugue, there are problems with the AES implementation.
+Simd has a problem with multiplication that I haven't resolved.
+Scrypt has issues with the lack of a blend instruction in NEON that requires a workaround. The lack of mask creating doesn't make it any easier.
+Yespower/yescrypt also have issues that aren't fully understood due to the complexity of the current code.
+Unresolved issues will result in using completely unoptimized "reference" code.
