v5.4.1rc1 Pre-release
Pre-release

This release brings support for SD 3.5 to Workflows, plus a number of fixes and improvements.

We pulled v5.4.0 due to issues with model installation and loading. This release (v5.4.1) resolves those issues and includes all changes from v5.4.0.

SD 3.5

We've added initial support for SD 3.5 in workflows. Currently, only Text-to-Image is supported. We'll add Image-to-Image support along Canvas support in the next few days.

Both SD 3.5 Large and Medium are supported and available via starter models. A sample workflow to get you started is in the Workflow Library. The node is marked as prototype; it's possible we will make some changes to it before marking it stable.

Other Changes

Enhancements

  • Moved Denoising Strength slider to top of Layers panel with updated UI and info popover.
  • Update viewer styling to have a menubar-ish header. Also used for image comparison.
  • Layer preview tooltip with larger sized preview.
  • Empty state for Control Layers, guiding user to upload an image, drag an image from gallery or start drawing.
  • "Simple" mode for control layers filtering, triggered when you select a control model. This automatically selects and processes the default filter for that model, if a default exists. If the user clicks Advanced, they get the full filter settings UI. Control Layers now start with no model selected, implicitly directing users into this flow.
  • Update default control weight to 0.75, end step % to 0.75. Update label for the Balanced control mode, indicating it is the recommended setting.

Fixes

  • Canvas progress images do not clear when canceling generation after at least one image has been staged.
  • Tooltips on boards list stay open when scrolling, potentially causing the whole app to scroll.
  • Saving canvas to gallery does not create a new image in gallery.
  • Applying a filter could erase or otherwise change a layer's data unexpectedly, causing a range of user-facing generation issues.
  • Unable to queue graphs with the Segment Anything node when its inputs were provided by connection.
  • Unable to load a workflow from file when using the three-dots menu.
  • pip downloads torch twice. This didn't cause any application issues - just a waste of time and bandwidth. We pinned torch to <2.5.0 to prevent pip's dependency resolver from getting confused.
  • mediapipe install issue on Windows, related to its latest release. We pinned mediapipe to a known working version.

Internal

  • Simplified parameter schema declarations. Thanks @rikublock!

Pre-release

This release brings support for SD 3.5 to Workflows, plus a number of fixes.

❗ We've discovered an issue with model installation and loading on this release. If you installed v5.4.0 and experience problems with model installation and loading, you can roll back to v5.3.1 by running the installer and choosing v5.3.1.

v5.3.1

This release expands layer merging capabilities in the Canvas and makes a number of other fixes and enhancements.

Layer Merging

We've expanded layer merging capabilities to all layer types and made one change to the existing Merge Visible operation.

Merge Down (new)

The selected layer and the one immediately below it are merged into a single layer. The two input layers are deleted as part of this process.

Merge Visible (changed)

Previously, in Invoke, Merge Visible deleted all the layers that were merged together.

This has been changed to match image editors like Affinity Photo and PS, where the merged layer is added as a new layer, leaving all other layers untouched.

Merging Regional Guidance

When merging Regional Guidance, the resultant merged Regional Guidance has no prompt or reference image. It's not possible to merge those settings. Keep this in mind when doing a Merge Down, which will delete the two input Regional Guidance layers.

Merging Control Layers

When merging Control Layers, the resultant merged Control Layer has no model or control settings. Like Regional Guidance, it's not possible to merge the settings, and Merge Down will delete the two input layers.

Control Layers require some special handling. For example, we display them with a "transparency effect" to help you visualize how they stack up. When merging them, we first apply a similar effect to the layer. Specifically, we use the "lighter" blend mode, optimizing for control images with black backgrounds.

All Changes

Enhancements

  • Layer merging improvements.
  • Updated "What's New" popover.
  • Inpaint Mask and Regional Guidance may be saved to assets.
  • Support for HF tokens in the model manager UI. This prepares Invoke's MM for SD3.5, which requires you to authenticate with HF to download the model. You can paste your token into the MM to allow the the model to download, instead of needing to configure it with the HF CLI.
  • Add a safeguard for invocation classes, requiring they implement the invoke method and have a correct output annotation.

Fixes

  • Canvas alerts prevent clicks on the metadata viewer tabs.
  • Save as-ing a Filtered layer may result in the wrong image data being used during generation.
  • More resilient Filter handling.
  • SDXL T2I OpenPose model gets input images with the correct channel order, which makes this model work correctly. Thanks @dunkeroni!
  • T2I Adapters now work with any output size supported by the main model. Previously, they required output sizes to be in multiples of 32 or 64. Thanks @dunkeroni!
  • Recall of seamless metadata settings. Thanks @rikublock!
  • Fixed broken link in installer. Thanks @hippalectryon-0!
  • Fixed (another) broken link in installer. Thanks @ventureOptimism!

Internal

  • Bump diffusers, accelerate and huggingface-hub dependencies to latest versions.
  • Refactored CanvasCompositorModule to support new merge capabilities.
  • Remove version pins for several packages including torch and numpy. This is in preparation for an updated installer and also makes it easier for advanced users to customize the versions of various packages.
  • Canvas inpaint and outpaint graphs output one less intermediate image, saving one expensive PNG encode (and your disk space).
  • Added caches for generation mode calculations in Canvas, providing a substantial reduction in intermediate images created and faster Invoke-to-Queue times.

v5.3.0

This release includes a number of enhancements and fixes. Standouts include:

  • Object selection in Canvas (via Segment Anything).
  • Support for XLabs FLUX IP Adapters.
  • Installer improvements, which should resolve all xformers-related issues.
  • Improved FLUX support for MPS (Apple Silicon) devices.
  • Reworked context menus, now with sub-menus.

Be sure to review the v5 release notes if you haven't already upgraded to v5.

Canvas Select Object

Click the Canvas to add Include and Exclude points to select an object in a layer, then use the selection as an Inpaint Mask.

select-object-save-as-inpaint-mask.mov

In the next example, we want to select the fox and the ground, but the model has a hard time with this, as it is trained to select single objects. We are able to work around this by selecting the background and inverting the selection.

select-object-invert-apply.mov

As demonstrated, applying the selection masks the layer with the selection. You can also save the selection as a Raster Layer, Control Layer or Regional Guidance. This enables some useful workflows.

select-object-apply-convert-control.mov

Internally, this uses Segment Anything v1. We'll upgrade to SAM v2, which substantially improves object selection, once support for it lands in transformers.

FLUX IP Adapters

We now support XLabs FLUX IP Adapters. There's only the one model right now, which we've added to the starter models.

Workflow & Input Image Output

Internally, IP Adapter requires CFG to work. For now, this is only exposed via workflows. Negative conditioning is also now available in workflows. We're exploring a sane way to expose this in the linear UI.

Negative conditioning requires a CFG value >1. Leave CFG at 1 to disable it and ignore negative conditioning.

Note: CFG doubles denoising time, and negative conditioning requires a good additional chunk of VRAM.

All Changes

Enhancements

  • Object selection in Canvas (via Segment Anything).
  • Support for XLabs FLUX IP Adapters.
  • Support for CFG and Negative Conditioning for FLUX in workflows only.
  • Added RealVisXL5 to SDXL Starter Model Bundle.
  • Model manager in-place checkbox remembers your choice. Thanks @rikublock!
  • Better tooltips in the model manager, including a starter bundle contents.
  • Support for sub-menus, which are now used in the Image context menu and various Canvas context menus.
  • Support more conversions between Canvas layers. Both in-place and copy conversions are supported. For example, convert between Inpaint Masks and Regional Guidance, or copy a Raster Layer into a new Inpaint Mask.
  • Model descriptions are now displayed in model selection drop-downs. You can disable this in settings.
  • We now track whether or not enabled model default settings are currently set. When they are not, we list the defaults that differ in a tooltip on the little button next to the main model drop-down.
  • Always show staging images when staging starts, even if user hid them last staging session.
  • Canvas alerts (e.g. the Sending to Gallery alert overlaid on the canvas) are moved to the top-left corner of the center panel.
  • Updated translations. Thanks @rikublock, @Vasyanator, @Harvester62, @Ery4z!

Fixes

  • Improved FLUX support for MPS devices. Thanks @Vargol!
  • FLUX denoise node erroneously required controlnet_vae field.
  • Uninstall xformers before installation, fixing issues w/ xformers version mismatch.
  • Fixed installer text output. Thanks @max-maag!
  • Fixed ROCm PyPI indices. Thanks @max-maag!
  • Normalize solid infill alpha values from 0-1 to 0-255 when building canvas graphs. This issue didn't cause any problems, because VAE ignores the alpha channel, but it should be fixed regardless.
  • View/Hide Boards button cut off with certain translations.
  • Fix a longstanding issue where nodes could mutate the objects (images, tensors, conditioning data) in disk-backed in-memory caches. For example, node 1 might retrieve image X and do some in-place operation on it to create image Y. Node 2 retrieves image X but gets image Y instead. This issue only affected the in-memory caches; mutations were not pushed to disk. The invocation API now returns clones of all objects, so nodes can safely mutate their inputs in-place.

Internal

  • Reworked logging implementation.
  • Directory traversal issue when deleting images.

v5.2.0

This release includes a number of enhancements and fixes. Standouts include:

  • Support for FLUX ControlNets.
  • Improved UX for common img2img flows in Canvas.
  • Boards may be sorted by name or date.
  • Starter model bundles in Model Manager.
  • Support for bulk image uploads.

** 🚨 Important Update Note: **

During update, you'll now be selecting between different configurations of the Invoke environment that are optimized and dependent on your hardware (specifically, torch-sdp vs. xformers) -- If you have previously used xformers, and update to the version for 3xxx and 4xxx NVidia cards, you'll often experience an error after the update.

You can uninstall xformers before running the update by -

  • Running the Invoke batch script from your existing installation
  • Selecting the "developer console" option
  • Typing pip uninstall xformers

We've also added a fix for Apple Silicon users for the mushy noise issue and updated the installer to skip xformers for GPUs where it causes a performance hit.

Be sure to review the v5 release notes if you haven't already upgraded to v5.

FLUX ControlNets

We now support both XLabs and InstantX ControlNets for FLUX. We've found the Union Pro model substantially outperforms the other models and added it to the starter models. Other models work, but outputs are not as good.

You can use FLUX ControlNets in both Workflows and the Linear UI. We will be adding a union mode control to the Linear UI in a a future release. You can select the union mode in Workflows today.

Canvas img2img Flow

We've made a number of changes to support the common img2img flow in the Canvas:

  • Transform now supports 3 modes:
    • fill (old behaviour): The layer is stretched to fit the generation bbox exactly. Its aspect ratio is not maintained.
    • contain (new default): The layer is stretched to fit the generation bbox, retaining its aspect ratio.
    • cover: The layer is scaled up so that its smallest dimension fits the bbox exactly, retaining its aspect ratio.
  • Add a layer context menu item to fit the layer to the bbox using the contain mode.
  • Update theNew Canvas from Image image context menu item to streamline the img2img flow. It now resizes the bbox to match the image's aspect ratio, respecting the currently-selected models' optimal size. The image will fit exactly in the box. You can click this and then immediately Invoke to do img2img.

Installer Updates

The performance of torch-sdp attention is substantially faster than xformers on 30xx and 40xx series GPUs. We've made two changes to ensure you generate with the best settings:

  • Add an installer option for 30xx & 40xx series GPUs, which does not install xformers.
  • When the attention type is set to auto (the default), and you do have xformers installed, we choose the best option of torch-sdp and xformers, based on your GPU.

Apple Silicon Fix

The mushy noise issue on Apple Silicon is related to sliced attention. We've temporarily forced all MPS devices to use torch-sdp. Memory usage is a bit higher, but you won't get mushy noise (unless, of course, you prompt for it 😅).

This appears to be a torch bug, and we'll revert this change once it is resolved.

All Changes

Enhancements

  • Support for FLUX ControlNets.
  • Improved UX for common img2img flows in Canvas.
  • Installer option to select best packages based on GPU model, and internal logic to select the best attention type based on GPU model.
  • Updated workflow list menu UI, restoring New Workflow confirmation dialog.
  • Support for bulk image uploads, button in gallery to upload images.
  • Boards maybe sorted by name or date.
  • Recall FLUX guidance parameter. Thanks @rikublock!
  • Add starter model bundle for each supported architecture to model manager.
  • The Layers and Gallery tabs now remember which one you last selected.
  • Added an indicator to the Layers and Gallery tabs when dragging an image to indicate you that you can hover over the tabs to change them.
  • Updated translations. French is now 100%! Thanks gallegonovato, @Harvester62, @Ery4z!

Fixes

  • Workaround for Apple Silicon SDXL noisy mush issue.
  • Fixed misc UI jank in workflow list menu UI.
  • Fixed longstanding issue where workflows were marked as unsaved immediately after loading.
  • Fixed canvas layer preview not updating if layer is disabled.
  • Fixed an edge case where entity isn't visible until interacting with canvas.

Perf

  • Reworked gallery rendering and context menu for a ~100% perf boost when rendering the gallery.
  • Rendering optimizations for canvas.

v5.2.0rc1 Pre-release
Pre-release

This release includes support for FLUX ControlNets and improves the UX for common img2img flows in Canvas.

We've also added a fix for Apple Silicon users for the mushy noise issue and updated the installer to skip xformers for GPUs where it causes a performance hit.

Be sure to review the v5 release notes if you haven't already upgraded to v5.

FLUX ControlNets

We now support both XLabs and InstantX ControlNets for FLUX. We've found the Union Pro model substantially outperforms the other models and added it to the starter models. Other models work, but outputs are not as good.

You can use FLUX ControlNets in both Workflows and the Linear UI. We will be adding a union mode control to the Linear UI in a a future release. You can select the union mode in Workflows today.

Canvas img2img Flow

We've made a number of changes to support the common img2img flow in the Canvas:

  • Transform now supports 3 modes:
    • fill (old behaviour): The layer is stretched to fit the generation bbox exactly. Its aspect ratio is not maintained.
    • contain (new default): The layer is stretched to fit the generation bbox, retaining its aspect ratio.
    • cover: The layer is scaled up so that its smallest dimension fits the bbox exactly, retaining its aspect ratio.
  • Add a layer context menu item to fit the layer to the bbox using the contain mode.
  • Update theNew Canvas from Image image context menu item to streamline the img2img flow. It now resizes the bbox to match the image's aspect ratio, respecting the currently-selected models' optimal size. The image will fit exactly in the box. You can click this and then immediately Invoke to do img2img.

Installer Updates

The performance of torch-sdp attention is substantially faster than xformers on 30xx and 40xx series GPUs. We've made two changes to ensure you generate with the best settings:

  • Add an installer option for 30xx & 40xx series GPUs, which does not install xformers.
  • When the attention type is set to auto (the default), and you do have xformers installed, we choose the best option of torch-sdp and xformers, based on your GPU.

Apple Silicon Fix

The mushy noise issue on Apple Silicon is related to sliced attention. We've temporarily forced all MPS devices to use torch-sdp. Memory usage is a bit higher, but you won't get mushy noise (unless, of course, you prompt for it 😅).

This appears to be a torch bug, and we'll revert this change once it is resolved.
