v5.0.0 - New Major release!

I am super excited to release Manim Slides v5!

In this release, a lot of efforts have been put into making Manim Slides a better tool, especially on three aspects:

• cross-platform and ManimCE/ManimGL compatibility, by leveraging simpler code, automated testing;
• speed and features, by dropping most of OpenCV usage in favor of Qt classes for presenting slides;
• and the overall code coverage, where more code lines are tested to ensure that we do not introduce bugs between releases.

Thanks to all the people that helped with this release! You can find a detailed CHANGELOG on this page.
