v0.20.0

Date : February 20, 2026

What's Changed

Breaking Changes 🚨

• Fix ImageMobject 3D rotation/flipping and remove resampling algorithms lanczos (antialias), box and hamming by {user}chopan050 in {pr}4266
• Fix YELLOW_C and add PURE_CYAN, PURE_MAGENTA and PURE_YELLOW by {user}chopan050 in {pr}4562

Highlights 🌟

• Rewrite MathTex to make it more robust regarding splitting by {user}henrikmidtiby in {pr}4515

  The MathTex implementation has been updated to make it more robust and fix a number of issues. A beneficial side effect is that named groups in svg files can now be accessed through SVGMobject.

• Add new Animation Builder Mobject.always by {user}JasonGrace2282 in {pr}4594

  This new feature is a convenience wrapper around add_updater that allows adding updaters to a mobject in an intuitive and easy-to-read way. Example usage in a scene:

  pythonCopy

  d = Dot()
  s = Square()
  d.always.next_to(s, UP)
  self.add(s, d)
  self.play(s.animate.to_edge(LEFT))
