v0.2.0#
- Date
January 1, 2021
The changes since Manim Community release v0.1.1 are listed below.
Breaking Changes#
Remove all CONFIG dictionaries and all calls to
digest_config
and allow passing options directly to the constructor of the corresponding classes (#783).Practically, this means that old constructions using
CONFIG
like:class SomeMobject(Thing): CONFIG = { "my_awesome_property": 42 }
where corresponding objects were then instantiated as
my_mobject = SomeMobject()
should now be created simply usingmy_mobject = SomeMobject(my_awesome_property=42)
.Remove old syntax for animating mobject methods by passing the methods and arguments to
self.play
, and use a new syntax featuring theanimate
property (#881).For example: the old-style
play
callself.play(my_square.shift, LEFT)
should be replaced with the new following call using the
animate
property:self.play(my_square.animate.shift(LEFT))
