+
+---
+We are proud to announce our new stable release version 2024.12, code-named ['Adventgrenze'](https://grml.org/faq/#releasename)!
+
+This Grml release brings you fresh software packages from Debian trixie, enhanced hardware support and addresses known bugs from previous releases.
+
+With version 2024.12 Grml, for the first time ever, supports 64-bit ARM CPUs (Architecture `arm64`)!
+
+This milestone was made possible thanks to the financial support from [netcup](https://www.netcup.com/).
+
+As previously announced, releases for [32-bit x86 PCs have been discontinued]({{< ref "416-grml32-sunset" >}}).
+With the grml32 flavor removed, we've introduced UEFI 32-bit boot support on our Grml amd64 flavor to ensure 64-bit PCs with 32-bit Firmware can use this release.
+
+For a detailed overview of the changes from 2024.02 to 2024.12, please check out [the official release announcement](https://grml.org/changelogs/README-grml-2024.12/).
+
+Thanks to everyone who contributed to Grml and this release, stay healthy and happy Grml-ing!
+
+Please join us in celebrating [20 Years of Grml Releases]({{< ref "417-20-years-grml-releases" >}}) and send us a postcard!
