There is also deprecated version but it is replaced by community version.
ManinGL by 3Blue1Brown
You can install it with
pip install manimgl
and you run it in consoler using manimgl but it doesn't display version when you use it.
If you check options
manimgl --help
then you can see it doesn't have --version.
You can use pip freeze to check installed version. Using grep (at least on Linux) you can run
pip freeze | grep manim
and get
manimgl==1.0.0
