    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}`
