3.12.0

New Features:

The `Chatbot` component now supports a subset of Markdown (including bold, italics, code, images)

You can now pass in some Markdown to the Chatbot component and it will show up,
meaning that you can pass in images as well! by @abidlabs in PR 2731

Here's a simple example that references a local image lion.jpg that is in the same
folder as the Python script:

import gradio as gr

with gr.Blocks() as demo:
    gr.Chatbot([("hi", "hello **abubakar**"), ("![](/file=lion.jpg)", "cool pic")])
    
demo.launch()

To see a more realistic example, see the new demo /demo/chatbot_multimodal/run.py.

Latex support

Added mathtext (a subset of latex) support to gr.Markdown. Added by @kashif and @aliabid94 in PR 2696.

Example of how it can be used:

gr.Markdown(
    r"""
    # Hello World! $\frac{\sqrt{x + y}}{4}$ is today's lesson.
    """)

Update Accordion properties from the backend

You can now update the Accordion label and open status with gr.Accordion.update by @freddyaboulton in PR 2690

import gradio as gr

with gr.Blocks() as demo:
    with gr.Accordion(label="Open for greeting", open=False) as accordion:
        gr.Textbox("Hello!")
    open_btn = gr.Button(value="Open Accordion")
    close_btn = gr.Button(value="Close Accordion")
    open_btn.click(
        lambda: gr.Accordion.update(open=True, label="Open Accordion"),
        inputs=None,
        outputs=[accordion],
    )
    close_btn.click(
        lambda: gr.Accordion.update(open=False, label="Closed Accordion"),
        inputs=None,
        outputs=[accordion],
    )
demo.launch()
