5 months ago The version spash shown on import has been disabled by default.
As for the video: it actually is being generated, Colab can just not display it if it is not directly embedded into the notebook source. The default behavior of this config option (config.media_embed) has been changed; it is False now by default, None is no longer an allowed value.
The corresponding code that needs to be updated is here: https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/31f189519b1e887803be67b76d61e4dc35655252/manim/utils/ipython_magic.py#L172-L176
We should change this such that media_embed is True whenever the IPython magic is run on Colab.
Previously, running the command "from manim import *" all by itself in a Colab cell would result in the output "Manim Community v0.18.0". Then the manim code to make a video could be run in additional cells. With v0.18.1, however, no output is generated running that import command, but the "Manim Community v0.18.1" appears as the output after rendering a manim snippet in a subsequent cell, along with the message about "no video with supported format and MIME type found".
Adding the line config.media_embed=True to the cell with the import command does resolve the issue, but the "Manim Community v0.18.1" output still appears as the output along with the now functioning video.
