New Features:
Release event for Slider
Now you can trigger your python function to run when the slider is released as opposed to every slider change value!
Simply use the `release` method on the slider
python
slider.release(function, inputs=[...], outputs=[...], api_name="predict")

Dropdown Component Updates
The standard dropdown component now supports searching for choices. Also when `multiselect` is `True`, you can specify `max_choices` to set the maximum number of choices you want the user to be able to select from the dropdown component.
python
gr.Dropdown(label="Choose your favorite colors", choices=["red", "blue", "green", "yellow", "orange"], multiselect=True, max_choices=2)
