Breaking changes

  • :pr:1521: Improve :class:~.Animation docs

    • Improve documentation of the :class:~.Animation class.
    • Unify the signature of get_all_mobjects. Now it always returns a sequence of :class:Mobjects <.Mobject>. This breaks using FadeTransform.get_all_mobjects as Group.

  • :pr:1470: Drop support for Python 3.6 Manim won't work on Python 3.6 anymore.

Highlights

  • :pr:1447: Added :class:~.PolarPlane for polar coordinates.

  • :pr:1490: Added :class:~.Polygram, rework the polygon inheritance tree, and add :class:~.Star

    • Add :class:~.Polygram, a generalized :class:~.Polygon that allows for disconnected sets of edges.
    • Make :class:~.Polygon inherit from :class:~.Polygram.
    • Add :func:~.regular_vertices
    • Add :class:~.RegularPolygram.
    • Make :class:~.RegularPolygon inherit from :class:~.RegularPolygram.
    • Add :class:~.Star.

  • :pr:1462: OpenGL: Added :class:~.Shader, :class:~.Mesh, and :class:~.FullScreenQuad Add Shader and Mesh objects

  • :pr:1418: Added project management commands

    • manim init - quickly sets up default files for a manim project.
    • manim new project - lets the user set project settings. It also creates the project inside a new folder of name <project_name>
    • manim new scene - used to quickly insert new scenes into files. If file name is not provided main.py is used as default.

Deprecated classes and functions

  • :pr:1598: Update examples to use :class:~.Axes and deprecate :class:~.GraphScene :class:~.GraphScene has been deprecated and its functionality has been shifted to :class:~.Axes. See the updated example gallery for sample usage.

  • :pr:1454: Fading module enhancements Moved functionality of all Fading classes to :class:~.FadeIn and :class:~.FadeOut. All other fading classes have been deprecated.

  • :pr:1404: Added two deprecation decorators Added two function decorators deprecated and deprecated_params as a consistent way of deprecating code.

Enhancements

  • :pr:1572: OpenGL compatibility via metaclass: :class:~.TracedPath, :class:~.ParametricFunction, :class:~.Brace, :class:~.VGroup

  • :pr:1472: Porting methods from :class:~.GraphScene to :class:~.CoordinateSystem
