#### New `ImageEditor` component ([#6169](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/pull/6169) [`9caddc17b`](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/commit/9caddc17b1dea8da1af8ba724c6a5eab04ce0ed8))
A brand new component, completely separate from `Image` that provides simple editing capabilities.
- Set background images from file uploads, webcam, or just paste!
- Crop images with an improved cropping UI. App authors can event set specific crop size, or crop ratios (`1:1`, etc)
- Paint on top of any image (or no image) and erase any mistakes!
- The ImageEditor supports layers, confining draw and erase actions to that layer.
- More flexible access to data. The image component returns a composite image representing the final state of the canvas as well as providing the background and all layers as individual images.
- Fully customisable. All features can be enabled and disabled. Even the brush color swatches can be customised.

The paste-from-clipboard was not triggering an upload event. The clear button was not triggering a change event. The change event was triggering infinitely. Uploaded images were not preserving their original names. Uploading a new image should clear out the previous image. Thanks [@freddyaboulton](https://github.com/freddyaboulton)!

#### Improve startup performance and markdown support ([#5279](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/pull/5279) [`fe057300`](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/commit/fe057300f0672c62dab9d9b4501054ac5d45a4ec))
##### Improved markdown support
We now have better support for markdown in `gr.Markdown` and `gr.Dataframe`. Including syntax highlighting and Github Flavoured Markdown. We also have more consistent markdown behaviour and styling.
##### Various performance improvements
These improvements will be particularly beneficial to large applications.
- Rather than attaching events manually, they are now delegated, leading to a significant performance improvement and addressing a performance regression introduced in a recent version of Gradio. App startup for large applications is now around twice as fast.
- Optimised the mounting of individual components, leading to a modest performance improvement during startup (~30%).
- Corrected an issue that was causing markdown to re-render infinitely.
- Ensured that the `gr.3DModel` does re-render prematurely.
- [#5215](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/pull/5215) [`fbdad78a`](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/commit/fbdad78af4c47454cbb570f88cc14bf4479bbceb) - Lazy load interactive or static variants of a component individually, rather than loading both variants regardless. This change will improve performance for many applications. Thanks [@pngwn](https://github.com/pngwn)!
