Dear Arrigo

Thank you for your effort!
Please don't take lack of feedback for lack of interest!
I volunteer to test any binaries on Windows 7, 10 or Linux if needed
I can compile on Linux but not on Windows

I think I fixed the OpenSSL module and the depending Python.

Serf is now posing another challenge.

Apparently, SCons needs to access the Windows registry in order to
detect the presence of Visual Studio. This is reasonable: also our
"oowintool" script does so.

Python scripts can access the Windows registry using the "winreg"
module. The problem is that such module _is not included_ in Cygwin's
Python distribution!

There is a "cygwinreg" module available, but it does not seem to work.

So instead of using an ``external'' Perl, we will need to use an
``external'' Python.

I will try to follow this path.

Questions and comments are welcome as usual.

Unfortunately not. But maybe we should have a look if we can modify our
update notification somehow.

Yes, Windows 11 goes in that direction and the new store was backported
to Window 10.

BTW: Wait for the UI redesign of MS Office (2016 and 2019)! That will
look a lot like Windows 11...

That is actually good news for OpenOffice users! Will they be notified of new 
versions through the MS Store? (it is not really relevant if the AOO update 
check works)

I really think that it should not be necessary to be a registered user to 
install programs. But Microsoft is clearly following the Google's Android model 
where everything is connected to the user account (which is positive in some 
points, but it is not so good for privacy...)

It seems that if you don't want to be profiled, you really need to stick to 
Linux/BSD

Hi Peter,

We all know that every person that wants to see how the release process

It is a pity that you now seem to want to portray the release process (which is 
actually well regulated) as something where everyone can do 'their thing' 
individually.
I still clearly remember the criticism I met from you when I only announced 
that I wanted to change the release notes afterwards.

What I have always seen is that even in a meritocratic project, every active 
project-member has a right to have a say in all centrally important things and 
it would somehow be appropriate for a free project if such things were 
discussed together in advance.

Nevertheless, I am a little surprised that something is happening here that I 
would count as part of the release process (which imho follows formal rules), 
which apparently(?) was never discussed _publicly_ in advance.

I think the whole thing is not insignificant and I think it would be
