Great news!

EDIT: For people who also started a challenge with 0.13.0 and want to switch to 0.14.0, don’t forget to update your `codecrafters.yml` to reflect that change. This was my original message:

I do need a bit of help with this however: I had started a challenge with zig 0.13, I wanted to switch to zig 0.14 so I clicked on the challenge name in the top left corner and selected “Retry using Zig”. It created a new repo where I pushed all my current progress, however tests fail with the error:

```auto
Detected changes to language_pack (old: zig-0.14, new: zig-0.13).
This isn't supported. If you're trying to upgrade to a new language version, please try creating a new repository.

```

To clarify, the steps for switching to Zig 0.14:

1. **Click “Retry using Zig”** from the challenge menu to create a new repository.
2. **Clone the new repository** using the instructions shown here:
