+        reference_content: https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/tag/23.01
+        rationale: This version adds a new ARM64 filter that improves compression ratio for ARM64 (AArch64) executables in 7z/xz formats. Executable files (.exe, .dll) are now parsed to apply the correct filter—BCJ/BCJ2 for x86, ARM64 for ARM64—instead of defaulting to x86 filters. The BCJ2 section size increased from 64 MiB to 240 MiB, improving compression for large binaries.
