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!
🌎 The axolotl, a salamander native to Mexico, can regenerate entire limbs, spinal cord, heart tissue, and even parts of its brain. Unlike most amphibians, axolotls remain aquatic and gilled for their whole lives due to a trait called neoteny. ✨

🌎 The axolotl, native to Mexico’s lakes, can regrow lost limbs, parts of its heart, and even sections of its brain. This “walking fish” stays forever young, never fully transforming into adulthood—a rare phenomenon called neoteny. ✨

Hydra, a tiny freshwater animal, can theoretically live forever if nothing eats or kills it. They don't age because they keep regenerating cells.

Axolotls, also known as Ambystoma mexicanum, get their name from the Aztec language Nahuatl, meaning "water monster" or "water god." According to legend, they are the earthly form of Xolotl, the Aztec god who transformed into a salamander to avoid sacrifice. These creatures are famous for regenerating limbs, hearts, and even parts of their brains. They stay in their juvenile form for life, a trait called neoteny. In the wild, axolotls are critically endangered, with fewer than 1,000 left in Mexico’s Xochimilco and Chalco lakes. Habitat loss, pollution, and invasive species like tilapia are major threats. Conservation efforts are underway to restore their habitat and protect them from extinction.
