The v13 release is not just a release either, it is also our official announcement of participation in the annual #hacktoberfest. 💻🥨
We know that we're a few days late to the party, but v13 had to get ready before. 😉
This year, the fest is opt-in for projects and we definitely want to opt into taking part in this great event! If you ever thought about starting coding or giving back to your favourite open source repositories, now is the time! Head over to the hacktoberfest website to learn more about it.
We already prepared some issues on our repositories and aim towards opening more issues for starters, but feel free to begin a hunt for improvements and fixes by yourself!

Active euthanasia is when a doctor directly ends a patient’s life, like using a lethal injection. Passive euthanasia is when doctors stop treatment or life support, letting the person die naturally.
Passive euthanasia is legal in many countries. Active euthanasia is only legal in a few, like the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Colombia, Ecuador, and New Zealand. Some U.S. states allow assisted dying, but not active euthanasia.
Many people find passive euthanasia more acceptable. Active euthanasia is more controversial. People worry about abuse or moral problems. Support often depends on whether a person is terminally ill or in unbearable suffering.
