+A lot of new packages got imported, some are alternatives of packages already available, but many are bringing possibilities we didn't have before.

Note from the editorial team

+Note from Solene
++ This issue is late again. It's hard to find a good publication rate fitting with this hobby work. Originally, I planned to publish every two weeks, that would allow me to gently gather links and material for a new zine, but at the same time there are periods like before a new release during which nothing happen. On the other hand, when waiting long between publications without having a clear deadline, a lot of content need to be covered and it accumulates in a huge pile, which is not necessarily fun to go through. + However, while the Webzine is late on schedule, it reached HEIGHT different languages; not all the issues got translated into the height languages but it's been very comforting to meet all the people working on the translations, THANKS! +
