Windows 64bit binaries?

Windows 64bit binaries?

[Pablo Rodríguez]

John,

just out of curiosity, do you plan to release 64bit binaries for Windows
in newer versions?

Many thanks for your help,

No.  It's too much work to try to build two binaries, so I just do 32 bit binaries for maximum portability.  I figure some people still use 32-bit machines (I do), but if that's not true I could revisit.

I run a 64 bit machine, but don't generally fuss over 64 bit
applications.  The advantage to a 64 bit build is the ability to use
vastly larger address space.  I get 64 bit versions if they are
available, but don't normally care if not.

Has anyone reported Pandoc bumping into limits because it needs a
bigger address space than a 32 bit binary can use?  I'd be a bit
surprised.

Many thanks for the reply, John.

I thought that the 64bit build could be automated easily besides the
32bit build.

Many thanks for your reply, Dennis.

I just thought a 64bit Windows build would be faster.
