What’s Changed

Breaking Changes 🚨

• Fix ImageMobject 3D rotation/flipping and remove resampling algorithms lanczos (antialias), box and hamming by @chopan050 in PR #4266

• Fix YELLOW_C and add PURE_CYAN, PURE_MAGENTA and PURE_YELLOW by @chopan050 in PR #4562

Highlights 🌟

• Rewrite MathTex to make it more robust regarding splitting by @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 @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:

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