What's Changed

Breaking Changes 🚨

  • Delegate color handling in Code to Pygments and document custom styles by @Helbronner in #4816

    Code no longer honors foreground color overrides passed through
    paragraph_config={"color": ...} or Code.default_paragraph_config["color"];
    syntax and line-number colors now come from the selected Pygments
    formatter_style. To customize them, pass a custom Pygments Style subclass
    through formatter_style and configure its token styles and
    line_number_color. Background colors can still be overridden with
    background_config={"fill_color": ...}; otherwise, the selected Pygments
    style provides the background. See the note in the documentation of Code
    for an explicit example.

  • Speed up Cairo renderer by 2.2x on animation-heavy scenes by @HamdiBarkous in #4695

    Cairo path construction now uses vectorized subpath splitting, and pixel-array
    handling avoids redundant copies while producing pixel-identical output. This
    changes Camera.convert_pixel_array(): the convert_from_floats argument has
    been removed, and the method now always converts floats to the camera's pixel
    format. Omit the argument if it was previously True; use
    np.array(pixel_array) instead if relying on the old default copying behavior.

Highlights 🌟

  • Introduce first-class support for rendering text and markup via Typst (optional dependency) by @behackl in #4681

    The new Typst and TypstMath mobjects compile Typst markup
    and mathematical expressions directly to SVG without requiring a TeX
    installation. They support label-based subgroup selection, {{ ... }}
    expression grouping, and integration with existing label APIs. Install the
    optional dependency with pip install "manim[typst]".

  • Hash NumPy arrays without JSON expansion by @dexhunter in #4883

    NumPy arrays in scene cache keys are now represented by deterministic hashes
    of their complete logical contents instead of sampled JSON data. This
    prevents stale cache hits when visible image data changes and reduces hashing
    CPU time by roughly 94–98% in representative benchmarks.

  • Add support for encoding partial movie files in parallel by @pjfo in #4899

    The new max_inflight_encoders configuration option allows partial movie
    encoding to overlap with rendering while bounding the number of encoder
    workers. Try it with
    manim render --max-inflight-encoders 4 --encoder-queue-size 8 scene.py Scene;
    --encoder-queue-size limits the pending frame buffers held by each encoder.
    The default of one in-flight encoder preserves serial behavior; higher values
    reduced an encoding-heavy benchmark by 56% and larger real-world renders by
    roughly 8–11%.
