Known issues

breakingManim version 0.19.0 changed the default renderer to OpenGL. If you upgrade from an older version, scenes may look different.

fix

Use the CairoRenderer if you need the old behavior: manim -r cairo your_scene.py

affects: >=0.19.0

deprecatedThe 'TexTemplate' class has been deprecated in favor of 'TexTemplateFromFile' in v0.18.0.

fix

Replace `TexTemplate` with `TexTemplateFromFile` or use the new `tex_template` parameter.

affects: >=0.18.0

gotchaWhen using LaTeX (Text, Tex, MathTex), you need a working LaTeX distribution installed (e.g., MiKTeX or TeX Live).

fix

Install a LaTeX distribution or use the `–-tex_template` flag to point to a custom template.

affects: all
