Patch Notes
This is the promised 21.11 release
It includes a change that allows for running code from foreign architectures by registering them through binfmt_misc, just like on native NixOS. This feature is enabled by default, but it may lead to WSLInterop (being able to run windows executables) breaking in other WSL distributions as a side effect. Should you experience issues with this, you can disable it by setting wsl.interop.register = false and removing all other binfmt registrations (if you have configured any). For more information on the underlying issue, see #64 and microsoft/WSL#8203
