Version 3.9

New Features:

• Gradio is now embedded directly in colab without requiring the share link by @aliabid94 in PR 2455

Calling functions by api_name in loaded apps

When you load an upstream app with gr.Blocks.load, you can now specify which fn
to call with the api_name parameter.

import gradio as gr
english_translator = gr.Blocks.load(name="spaces/gradio/english-translator")
german = english_translator("My name is Freddy", api_name='translate-to-german')

The api_name parameter will take precendence over the fn_index parameter.
