Releases

v4.0.4

🚨 v4 has some major changes. Please read the patch notes. 🚨

Patch Nodes for v4.0.4

This patch release includes the following changes:

  • Add fit bounding box to image when sending image to canvas
  • Small handful of canvas bugs fixed
  • Refiner models displayed in model manager
  • Fix OOM on Windows (see this FAQ entry for more detail)
  • Restore initial image recall for img2img

💾 Installation and Updating

To install or update to v4.0.4, download the installer and follow the installation instructions. To update, select the same installation location.

🎉 What’s New in Invoke v4

💻 Simplified Installation, Updating and Configuration

We’ve simplified and streamlined installation, making it much faster and more reliable:

💖 New Model Manager

The model manager is rewritten in v4.0.0, both frontend and backend. This builds a foundation for future model architectures and brings some exciting new user-facing features:

  • All model installation happens via the UI (no configure script)
  • Queued model downloads
  • Per-model preview images
  • Per-model default settings - choose a model’s default VAE, Scheduler, CFG Scale, etc
  • User-defined trigger phrases for concepts/LoRAs and models - access by typing the < key in any prompt box
  • API key support for model marketplaces
  • 🚨 Autoimport removed - use Scan Folder instead

#️⃣ Model Hashing

When you first run v4, it may take a few minutes to start up as it does a one-time hash of all of your model files.

Do not panic.

Hashes provide a stable identifier for a model that is the same across every platform.

🚨 If you don’t care about this, you can press Ctrl+C to interrupt the process and disable hashing by setting hashing_algorithm: random setting in invokeai.yaml.

🎨 Canvas Improvements

The canvas uses a new method for compositing called gradient denoising. This eliminates the need for multiple “passes”, greatly reducing generation time on the canvas. This method also provides substantially improved visual coherence between the masked regions and the rest of the image.

The compositing settings on canvas allow for control over the gradient denoising process.

Major research & experimentation for this novel denoising implementation was led by @dunkeroni, and @blessedcoolant was responsible for managing integration into the canvas UI.

🐛 Known Issue

🚨 Inpainting models on Canvas sometimes kinda give up and output mush. We have a fix en-route, but it will need to wait for 4.1.0.

Models don’t show up after upgrading

Follow these steps. If you are still missing some models, please create an issue on GitHub or ask for help on discord.

🤓 Developer Changes

v4.0.0 is versioned as a major release due to breaking changes:

  • The internal nodes API has been refactored to provide a stable public API. 🚨 Node authors should review the migration guide.
  • The internal graph execution engine is drastically simplified, resulting in more efficient and performant processing. This carries on from the changes in v3.6.0 in which graphs are no longer stored in the database.

📝 What’s Changed

New Contributors

Full Changelog: https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/compare/3.7.0…v4.0.0

Invoke 3.7.0

Invoke is a leading creative engine built to empower professionals and enthusiasts alike. Generate and create stunning visual media using the latest AI-driven technologies. Invoke offers an industry-leading web interface and also serves as the foundation for multiple commercial products.

You can learn more Invoke and our mission by visiting https://www.invoke.com/about, or joining our Discord server!

🌟 What’s New in 3.7.0

Workflow Editor Improvements

  • Workflow Linear View - Workflows are now able to be used in a sleek Linear View interface that hides the workflow and focuses on the image being generated! To enable this, from a workflow, click the “Use in Linear View” button next to the model name in the left sidebar.
  • Workflow Linear View inputs are now able to be re-ordered by dragging and dropping.

Other Changes

  • DWPose is now the default OpenPose processor in Invoke - see Things to Know
  • Improved Seamless Tiling! Now even more seamless
  • Update diffusers version to 0.26.3
  • Various bug fixes

‼️ Things to Know:

Possible Update Issues

  • When upgrading from 3.4 via the updater script, the UI will not render and will display an error: {"detail":"Not Found"}. To fix this error, download the installer and re-run it in the same location as your existing installation.

Invoke might revert to CPU (NVIDIA GPU only)

  • Some users have experienced torch reverting to the CPU rather than their GPU. To fix this follow these steps:
  1. Launch your invoke.bat / invoke.sh and select the option to open the developer console
  2. Run: pip install --force-reinstall torch==2.1.2 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
  3. If you run into an error with typing_extensions, run: pip install -U typing-extensions
  4. If there is an error with fsspec, run pip install -U fsspec==2023.5.0

Other

  • In some cases, the OpenPose processor might not automatically switch to DWPose. To choose DWPose, use the “Show Advanced” caret to open the processor settings and choose DW Openpose as the processor.
  • Currently known issues:
    • Scan for Models is currently disabled due to the Model Manager refactor

💿 Installation and Upgrading:

To install version 3.7, please download the zip file at the bottom of the release notes (under “Assets”), unpack it, and then double-click to launch the script install.sh (Macintosh, Linux) or install.bat (Windows). Alternatively, you can open a command-line window and execute the installation script directly.

If you already have Invoke version 3.x installed, you can update by running invoke.sh / invoke.bat and selecting “Updated Invoke” to upgrade, or you can download and run the installer in your existing Invoke installation location.

🚨 Please ensure your generation queue has no pending items before upgrading. Pending generations may fail after an upgrade. 🚨

Download the installer: InvokeAI-installer-v3.7.0.zip

💻 Developer Changes

There are a number of important changes for contributors to be aware of.

Model Manager

The Model Manager is partway through a redesign, to make it more capable and maintainable. The redesign will support a much better user experience for downloading, installing and managing models. The changes are in the repo, but implemented separately from the user-facing app.

  • Remix image - similar to Use All, but allows you to create a new image by setting all parameters except the Seed
  • “About” menu can be found in settings. Displays Invoke & dependency versions
  • Ideal Size node is now a default node
  • Fixed LoRA renaming bug

‼️ Things to Know:

  • When upgrading from 3.4 via the updater script, the UI will not render and will display an error: {"detail":"Not Found"}. To fix this error, open the developer console from the invoke.bat / invoke.sh menu and run: pip install --use-pep517 --upgrade --force-reinstall InvokeAI==v3.6.1
  • Currently known issues:
    • Scan for Models is currently disabled due to the Model Manager refactor

Invoke might revert to CPU (NVIDIA GPU only)

  • Some users have experienced torch reverting to the CPU rather than their GPU. To fix this follow these steps:
  1. Launch your invoke.bat / invoke.sh and select the option to open the developer console
  2. Run: pip install --force-reinstall torch==2.1.2 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
  3. If you run into an error with typing_extensions, run: pip install -U typing-extensions
  4. If there is an error with fsspec, run pip install -U fsspec==2023.5.0

💿 Installation and Upgrading:

To install version 3.6.1, please download the zip file at the bottom of the release notes (under “Assets”), unpack it, and then double-click to launch the script install.sh (Macintosh, Linux) or install.bat (Windows). Alternatively, you can open a command-line window and execute the installation script directly.

If you already have Invoke version 3.x installed, you can update by running invoke.sh / invoke.bat and selecting “Updated Invoke” to upgrade, or you can download and run the installer in your existing Invoke installation location.

🚨 Please ensure your generation queue has no pending items before upgrading. Pending generations may fail after an upgrade. 🚨

💻 Developer Changes

There are a number of important changes for contributors to be aware of.

Frontend/UI

The biggest change is that the frontend build is no longer included in main. If you run the app off a clone of the repo, you’ll need to build the frontend to use the UI. See the “Impact to Contributors” section on this PR https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/pull/5253.

Model Manager

The Model Manager is partway through a redesign, to make it more capable and maintainable. The redesign will support a much better user experience for downloading, installing and managing models. The changes are in the repo, but implemented separately from the user-facing app.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/compare/v3.5.1…v3.6.0

InvokeAI v3.5.1

InvokeAI is a leading creative engine built to empower professionals and enthusiasts alike. Generate and create stunning visual media using the latest AI-driven technologies. InvokeAI offers an industry-leading web interface and also serves as the foundation for multiple commercial products.

To learn more about InvokeAI, please visit our Documentation or join our Discord server!

🌟 What’s New in 3.5.1

  • Fixed bug with multiple embeddings
  • Added Tiled Upscaling to Default Workflows (Beta)
  • Respect use of torch-sdp from config.yaml

3.5.0 Changes

Workflow Library

Until now, a workflow could only be associated with an image, or be downloaded as JSON. The Workflow Library allows workflows to be saved independently to the database. The UI provides sorting and filtering options to manage them.

With the Workflow Library, we can now ship default workflows directly in the app. You’ll see a couple on the Default tab. As the InvokeAI application evolves we will keep these workflows up-to-date, and regularly add more.

Other Enhancements

  • More capable node updating
  • Better errors when your workflow doesn’t match your installed nodes
  • Community node packs auto-report their name, so if your workflow needs nodes you don’t have installed, you’ll see what’s missing
  • Custom field types for nodes
  • Tiled upscaling nodes (BETA)
  • Added many missing translation strings
  • Gallery auto-scroll

‼️ Things to Know:

Invoke might revert to CPU (NVIDA GPU only)

  • Some users have experienced torch reverting to the CPU rather than their GPU. To fix this follow these steps:
  1. Launch your invoke.bat / invoke.sh and select the option to open the developer console
  2. Run: pip install --force-reinstall torch==2.1.2 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
  3. If you run into an error with typing_extensions, run: pip install -U typing-extensions
  4. If there is an error with fsspec, run pip install -U fsspec==2023.5.0

Database Migrations

As the app evolves and our database usage gets a bit more complex, we need a way to safely update it. This release introduces a database migration utility and versions the database.

The first time you run v3.5.1, the migrator will set up the database versioning and, for this particular release, updates the images table to flag if an image has a workflow embedded or not. You’ll see a progress bar as it checks each image - it should be pretty quick.

The migration utility rolls back changes if anything goes wrong, is covered by our test suite and has proved itself with manual testing.

Custom Field Types in Nodes

Previously, node authors had to use built-in field types for inputs and outputs of their nodes. While this covered many use-cases, we recognized the need for “custom” field types. This is now fully supported, and any pydantic model can be used as a field type.

💿 Installation and Upgrading:

To install version 3.5.0, please download the zip file at the bottom of the release notes (under “Assets”), unpack it, and then double-click to launch the script install.sh (Macintosh, Linux) or install.bat (Windows). Alternatively, you can open a command-line window and execute the installation script directly.

If you already have InvokeAI version 3.x installed, you can update by running invoke.sh / invoke.bat and selecting “Updated InvokeAI” to upgrade, or you can download and run the installer in your existing InvokeAI installation location.

🚨 Please ensure your generation queue has no pending items before upgrading. Pending generations may fail after an upgrade. 🚨

Other changes:

  • Moved from yarn to pnpm for package management
  • Updated many packages
  • Refactored all workflow schemas and types
  • Workflow migration logic implemented
  • Changes to release process

Backend Changes

This release includes feature-flagged changes to the model manager and a new database migration utility.

Model Manager

The Model Manager is partway through a redesign, to make it more capable and maintainable. The redesign will support a much better user experience for downloading, installing and managing models. The changes are in the repo, but implemented separately from the user-facing app.
