Updated Idno to 1.6.4, build 2026022801 and surprised that I had to re-upload most of the plugins and the Theme I use, though they are all still in the repo. Trying to decide whether my dislike of the 2026 theme is just because it is different. I should give it a little longer.

A distant view of a group of people in a circle doing exercises with a bamboo staff beneath some tall, almost bare trees. The sky above is blue and cloudy and in the distance can be glimpsed the top of a white building behind a line of trees.

On the ground, arms flap

Tree high parakeets gaze down

Qi Gong in the park
