What are the differences between Gitea arm-5, arm-6 and arm-7?

Hello,

Could someone please tell me what are the differences between Gitea arm-5, arm-6 and arm-7?

What are these ARM versions stand for? ARM CPU Architecture, like ARMv7, ARMv8?

Like if I am using Raspberry Pi 4B with the CPU Broadcom BCM2711, Quad core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8), Raspbian OS, is it possible to use Gitea V1.10.0?

Many Thanks~~

The software is the same, only they’re compiled with different instruction sets for older/newer processors. arm-5 < arm-6 < arm-7. AFAIK arm-5 will work in all of them but it will not take advantage of advances made in the later, then arm-6 is faster (if your CPU supports it) and finally arm-7 is the fastest. Not that the difference will be huge or even noticeable, however.

Currently (as of 1.9.6 or 1.10.0) Gitea is working only with arm-5 and arm-6.
