The code behind this site is at https://github.com/kholia/daily-builds URL.

The builds are done on infrastructure provided by
https://circleci.com/ and the CircleCI configuration resides in
"circle.yml" file in the JtR jumbo repository.
See https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/issues/1378 for more
details about the setup.
OpenMP is supported in these builds. However, the builds are not 100%
reliable. I just found out that the builds do not run on Windows 10
at all.
Some of the issues are documented in the following links,
https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/issues/2083 (zip2john crash)
https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/issues/1449 (Ctrl+C crash)
https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/issues/1378 (various
format crashes)
I don't think that anyone is actively working on fixing these issues.
So these builds should not be considered fit for users yet.
