----------------------------------------------------------------------


### New

- Sandra, the ape (kindly contributed by @NuzzleTOO)
- Ambrogio, the meerkat (originally designed by @CarLaTeX)
- new accessories: banana and stick with leaf (kindly contributed by @NuzzleTOO)
- added DEPENDS.txt file
- new `leftstep` and `rightstep` options for the anteater, bug, coati, mode and squirrel
- new `ears`, `hands`, `belly`, `feet` and `tail` options to colour body parts of the elephant
- new option `horn` to change the colour of the rhinos horn
- new accessories: sombrero hat (thanks to @CarLaTeX for contributing it)

### Changed

- **Breaking change:** changed the reference point for body colour in several
  TikZlings (bears, chicken, coatis, hippos, pandas, pigs, rhinos, sheep, sloths).
  Previously the body colour didn't exactly specify the colour of the body,
  instead the body might have been drawn in a lighter or darker shade of the
  colour. This trick was used because it is easier to add white to a colour than
  to make the colour brighter. However the downside was that the range of possible
  colours was servely limited. For example the hippo used a 50% lighter shade for
  the body. Even if one choose black as the darkest possible body colour, one
  would still only get a medium gray hippo. Now the user can choose exactly the
  colour they want.
- The default colours where adjusted to ensure that the TikZlings still look the
  same in v2.0, but if users previously used the `body=...` option, the result
  might now look different.

### Fixed

- fixed bug in bug code (typo in hook name)
- problem with bumps on sheep for negative scaling factors
