Gradio 5 is out, and there are many improvements.

[surak]

Gradio 5 has come out. It has two things which are interesting:

• It's much faster,
• It has a resizable chatbot field.

However, a lot of things changed in it. And while gradio_web_server.py works just fine with it, it produces an inordinate amount of warnings and errors on the logs, due to some breaking changes.

For example:
