    package.

    Summary description: Draw ASCII art of animals saying a specified message

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This release fixes two bugs which were introduced by changes
    in the kernel in 2025-06-01 and 2025-11-01.

    - `tail-symbol` wasnrCOt using the correct category codes if the
    symbol was a letter since `ltcmd`rCOs `v`-type no longer sets
    all category codes to 12.

    - `\AddColoredAnimal` wasnrCOt working due to the same reason and
    the used regular expression being too restrictive.
