v5.4.4rc1

This release brings support for FLUX Control LoRAs to Invoke, plus a few other fixes and enhancements.

FLUX Control LoRAs

Despite having "LoRA" in the name, these models are used in Invoke via Control Layers - like ControlNets. The only difference is that they do not support begin and end step percentages.

So far, BFL has released a Canny and Depth model. You can install them from the Model Manager.

All Changes

Enhancements

• Support for FLUX Control LoRAs.
• Improved error handling and recovery for Canvas, preventing Canvas from getting stuck if there is a network issue during some operations.

Fixes

• Image context menu actions to create a Regional and Global Reference Image layers were reversed.
• Missing translation strings.

Internal

• Upgrade docker image to Ubuntu 24.04 and use uv for package management.

Translations

• Updated Italian. Thanks @Harvester62!
• Updated German. Thanks @rikublock!
• Updated Vietnamese. Thanks @Linos1391!
• Updated French. Thanks @Ery4z!

Installation and Updating

This is the first Invoke release since we debuted our launcher, a desktop app that can install, upgrade and run Invoke on Windows, macOS and Linux.

While technically still in a prerelease state, it is working well. Download it from the repo's releases page. It works with your existing Invoke installation, or you can use it to do a fresh install.

macOS users may need to do this workaround for macOS until the first stable release of the launcher.

Legacy installer

You can still use our legacy installer scripts to install and run Invoke, though we do plan to deprecate this at some point.

To install or update, download the latest installer and follow the installation instructions.

To update, select the same installation location. Your user data (images, models, etc) will be retained.
