:pr:2550: New thematic guide: a deep dive into the internals of the library This new :doc:thematic guide </guides/deep_dive> aims to be a comprehensive walkthrough describing all the things that Manim does when you run it to produce a video.
:pr:2732: Improved overall structure of deployed documentation; added a dedicated :doc:FAQ section </faq/index>
:pr:2749: Added :class:.ChangeSpeed, an animation wrapper that allows to smoothly change the speed at which an animation is played The speed of any animation can be changed by wrapping the animation with :class:.ChangeSpeed and passing a dictionary as speedinfo whose keys are the relative animation run time stamps and whose values are the absolute speed factors; e.g., {0.5: 2, 0.75: 0.25} smoothly speeds up the animation by a factor of 2 once it has been completed to 50%, and then it is smoothly slowed down to 1/4 of the default run speed after 75% of the animation are completed. The run_time of the animation will be adjusted to match the changed play speed.

It is also possible to add time-based updaters that respect the change in speed, use the auxiliary :meth:.ChangeSpeed.add_updater method to do so.
