Definitely going to want to get #907 in 0.2.1 as well.

Look forward to have ability to create custom animations for mobjects somehow like so:

class UserVMobject(VMobject):
    def ShowCreation(self, alpha, *args, **kwargs):
        # logic here

class UserScene(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        mob = UserVMobject()

        self.play(
            mob.ShowCreation(run_time=3, rate_func=linear)
        )
``

An intuitive API for creating custom Mobjects.

This is very unspecific, could you please give some details what you have on your mind (preferably in a separate issue).

        )
``

As long as your custom ShowCreation returns an animation, I don't see why this wouldn't work already.

I am hiding all the comments above. Please keep the discussion related to the issue. You can create one if it doesn't exist.

Final preparations for the upcoming release:

• There are some ([somewhat] easy looking) bugfixes which I think would be good to have for the release (Fix last frame issue #983, Bugfix: Fix WebGL renderer hot reload on Windows #981 (?), Fixed :class:~.Vector tip #972 if the problem with the tests can be resolved soon)
• I'd also really like to have Enhancement (of new feature): JupyterLab docker image and documentation for manim and IPython #977; there already is one positive review -- if there are no further comments or objections, I'd merge it at some point tomorrow

Regarding the changelog: given that we haven't really advanced on #927 (especially regarding categorization), I volunteer to prepare a suggestion at some point tomorrow. I don't think that there are any serious breaking changes since v0.2.0, so I don't think that we will have to compile a lot of supplementary notes., if any at all -- the commit messages should pretty much be sufficient. :-)

@behackl Regarding #981, someone other than me needs to test it on Windows (and Mac would probably be a good idea too). Then it can be merged. I think @eulertour confirmed it works on Linux, and it works on Windows for me so this should just be additional checking to make sure before merging.

I think #951 should also be easy to fix as @behackl said

Closed by our latest release.
