EfficientManim — Changelog

v2.0.4 — Structural Cleanup & Rendering Integrity Update

Date: February 28, 2026

  • This release removes architectural hacks and replaces them with honest, transparent behavior.
  • P.S. added 2nd admin acc. @b-cubed-3 YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Removed: Geist Font System

The Geist custom font has been completely removed.

  • All QFontDatabase font-loading logic removed
  • All Geist font references removed from codebase
  • All fallback checks and font utility helpers removed
  • utils.py cleaned; no font-loading logs remain
  • Application uses the system default font cleanly via QFont() with point size 10
  • No font warnings; no residual references

Removed: Scenes Tab

The Scenes tab has been fully removed from the UI.

  • MultiSceneManagerPanel no longer mounted as a tab
  • All signal connections (scene_switched, scene_added, scene_deleted) disconnected from the main window
  • Tab entry "🎬 Scenes" removed from QTabWidget
  • No dead imports; no dangling signal handlers in the active UI path
  • Application runs cleanly without the Scenes tab

Fixed: Scene Class Renaming — Removed

Previously, the graph compiler hardcoded all generated code to use:

class EfficientScene(Scene):

This silently renamed every AI-generated or user-defined class to EfficientScene, which was a trust violation.

Now, the compiler generates a neutral class name:

class GeneratedScene(Scene):

And the video renderer uses detect_scene_class() to dynamically identify the actual scene class in any code — whether AI-generated or user-written.

Behavior now:

  • Any class inheriting from Scene renders correctly
  • AI-generated class names (e.g., PythagoreanTheorem, MyScene) are never renamed
  • No injected wrapper classes
  • No hidden code mutation before rendering
  • Rendering is transparent and deterministic

Fixed: Rendering System

The VideoRenderWorker now:

  • Accepts scene_class as an explicit parameter
  • Passes the detected class name directly to the Manim CLI
  • Never assumes EfficientScene or any fixed name

The detect_scene_class(code) function scans for class X(Scene): patterns and returns the actual class name, falling back to "Scene" only if none is found.

Fixed: SettingsDialog

  • Removed broken self.theme.currentText() reference (widget was never created)
  • Settings dialog now saves cleanly without attempting theme switching
  • Light-mode-only mode confirmed stable

Fixed: Theme System

  • Removed undefined ThemeMode type annotation from _on_theme_changed()
  • Theme change handler signature cleaned up to be safe and forward-compatible

Code Snippet Templates

All built-in snippet templates updated:

  • class EfficientScene(Scene) → class MyScene(Scene) in all SnippetLibrary entries
  • Templates are now neutral and don't impose a naming convention on users
