Samcarter submitted an update to the TikZducks package. Version: 2.0 2025-01-31 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: A little fun package for using rubber ducks in TikZ Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ### New - New options `randomhead` and `randomaccessories`. Basically the same as `\randomhead` and `\randomaccessories`, but no longer require `\shuffleducks` ### Changed - removed ConTeXt/plain TeX support. I'm very grateful to @JairoAdelRio for contributing these modules, however after accidentally breaking these modules in 2021 (and not hearing any complains from users) I decided to stop supporting these module in favour of making maintaining the package easier and having more freedom in the code used in the package. - replaced self-baked hooks with latex hooks: `\NewHook{tikzducks/background}`, `\NewHook{tikzducks/body}`, `\NewHook{tikzducks/clothing}`, `\NewHook{tikzducks/hair}`, `\NewHook{tikzducks/hat}` and `\NewHook{tikzducks/foreground}` ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/tikzducks The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikzducks/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
