I feel like the lorenz attractor that’s being plotted on the [Julia Plots](https://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/) site has changed. I think it used to look similar to the one in [Julialang site](https://julialang.org/). Ignore this if this is just a figment of my imagination. If not, why is it so? I understand lorenz attractor is very much sensitive to initial conditions but it doesn’t look like those has changed.

The initial conditions changed. That’s a picture of the Lorenz attractor with `u0 = [1,1,1]` instead of the old `u0 = [1,0,0]` which makes the convergence in the z plane quicker (and look nicer).
