- update to 1.26.0

without doing a full conversion. Use File->Import HTML or DOCX

the installation directory. If you wish to change that,
you need to specify it in the installation command itself.

and verifies the signature of the installed files.

that only makes changes to files in the installation directory
and does not require root privileges.

into existing comments, instead of overwriting (Preferences->Metadata download).
