GitHub has announced that arm64 Linux runners are now free for public repositories - https://github.blog/changelog/2025-01-16-linux-arm64-hosted-runners-now-available-for-free-in-public-repositories-public-preview/
This means that we can use them, rather than QEMU, to build aarch64 wheels, greatly reducing the time that it takes to build all of our wheels.
While I'm here, I've also added 'pypy' to
