Well, this is bordering with conspiracy theories, that would mean that VmWare paid Microsoft to force their (VmWares) users to update to a new version of VmWare, and that Microsoft took the money and did that knowing that everyone will blame them (Microsoft) for the issue. I would attribute the problem more to the usual stupidity (or rather increasing sloppyness/lack of quality control) of the good MS guys, with VmWare "innocent", so that there is not anything "planned". jaclaz

@All Have new build generated by ProxHTTPSProxy v1.5 (Rev3e), python module cryptography-2.8 with openssl-1.1.1d (Thanks to @Mathwiz), cacert.pem, alternativ cacert.pem from MSCerts (Cert_Updater) 11/12/2019 and various modules updated. If anyone has interest please write a PM to me. @Mathwiz Thank you that you made the effort because openssl v1.1.1d for XP. With the files libcrypto_static.lib and libssl_static.lib (renamed libcrypto.lib and libssl.lib) it worked this time. cryptography 2.8 module with OpenSSL -1.1.1d for Python 3.4.4 on WXP, I have tested so far with the following modules: altgraph==0.16.1 appdirs==1.4.3 asn1crypto==1.2.0 cffi==1.13.2 colorama==0.4.1 cryptography==2.8 future==0.18.2 idna==2.8 macholib==1.11 packaging==19.2 pefile==2019.4.18 pyasn1==0.4.8 pycparser==2.19 PyInstaller==3.4 pyOpenSSL==19.1.0 pyparsing==2.4.5 PySocks==1.7.1 pywin32==221 pywin32-ctypes==0.2.0 six==1.13.0 urllib3==1.25.7 For Installing: Uninstall the older cryptography module beforehand (pip uninstall cryptography), then simply unpack the two directories in the python directory python34\lib\site-packages. Download: here Note: The manually installed cryptography module can be uninstalled the usual way (pip uninstall cryptography)!

The latest pre-release language packs targeting the Pale Moon unstable channel (at v28.8.0a1 atm) have been uploaded just minutes ago: https://github.com/JustOff/pale-moon-localization/releases/tag/28.8.0_RC1 They should be natively compatible with New Moon 28.8.0a1 (i.e. without having to modify install.rdf file) !

Repairable doesn't make profit from selling new ones. Competition tends to pressure everyone to make better, higher quality products, but when EVERYBODY notices that if they ALL "save a little bit" on their manufacturing costs and lower quality, they sell more product. It used to be possible to actually TELL if a product had higher quality. Nowadays making things bright and shiny and still cheap is a science. Light bulbs, for example... In the latter part of the 20th century it wasn't uncommon to still find incandescent light bulbs that had remained working and in service since the early part of the 20th century. Ever notice that lately - before the era of CFL and LED bulbs - incandescent bulbs would last EXACTLY the number of hours listed on the box (i.e., usually a few weeks to a few months of use). That's not coincidence. It's engineered-in. We'll skip CFL bulbs, but then LEDs came out, promising tens of thousands of hours of service. We all bought the ones that were 10x as expensive as an incandescent bulb thinking, "Gee, maybe I won't ever have to replace this again!" Ever notice how you're now replacing your LED bulbs WAY sooner than you thought you should have to? Sigh. Don't get me started on plumbing and faucets. Same deal. Our parents (or grandparents if you're a young whippersnapper) loathed the idea of planned obsolescence. They didn't want us to have to live in this world where our $#!+ just breaks all the time and is unrepairable. Imagine what we could do with the world if we had the time to think instead of fixing stuff that shouldn't be broken. Another thing they worried about, and which came to pass anyway: Paying by the month for things, instead of just buying them once and owning them. We still worry about software subscriptions, but make no mistake: We're already there or well on our way there for just about every piece of tech we use, INCLUDING software. -Noel
