🌟 What's New in 3.6.2

• UI/UX Overhaul Improvements
  • Based on community feedback, updates have been made to the new UI/UX See "Things to Know" below when upgrading from Invoke 3.4
• Depth-Anything is now supported and is the default depth processor in Invoke
• 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
• Updated Workflow saving behavior

‼️ 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==v3.6.2
• 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 3.6.2, 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-v3.6.2.zip

💻 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.

🌟 What's New in 3.6.0

• UI/UX Overhaul
  • The InvokeAI application has undergone a major design overhaul, focusing on make the application easier and more efficient to use.

‼️ Things to Know:

3.6.0 Release Candidate

• This release candidate is the first iteration of the UI/UX overhaul and is likely to have bugs and issues. If you encounter any, please create an issue on GitHub or post in the Discord.
• Currently known issues:
  • Some Unified Canvas operations may not function as expected
  • ControlNet weights are not shown unless hovered over

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. It is recommended to backup your database prior to installing any release candidates as issues with database updates may occur. If you experience an issue, simply add your old .db file back to your InvokeAI installation location.

💿 Installation and Upgrading:

To install version 3.6.0, 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. 🚨

Download the installer: InvokeAI-installer-v3.6.0rc1.zip

💻 Developer Changes

There are a number of important changes for contributors in this release.

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.

🌟 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.

Post3 Update

3.3.0post3 is a hotfix release that fixes canvas locking issues, addresses a breaking change from v5.10 of python-socketio and adds translations

🌟 What's New in 3.3.0:

• T2I-Adapter is now supported
  • Models can be downloaded through the Model Manager or the model download function in the launcher script.
• Multi IP-Adapter Support!
• New nodes for working with faces
• Improved model load times from disk
• Hotkey fixes
• Expanded translations (for many languages!)
• Unified Canvas improvements and bug fixes

‼️ Things to Know:

• Future updates will bring a couple of major changes:
  • Starting with 3.30, InvokeAI will only be supported for Python 3.10 and newer versions. Please begin preparing to upgrade your Python environment.
  • Community Nodes will need to update their import structure. InvokeAI internal services are being reorganized to better support Community Nodes and future development efforts.
• T2I-Adapter and ControlNet cannot currently be used at the same time. This is prevented in the regular UI, but users will find that errors occur if they do not follow this guidance in Workflow development.
• T2I-Adapters currently require an image output size that is a multiple of 64. This is enforced in the regular UI, but again, you will need to adhere to this constraint in workflow development

💿 Installation and Upgrading:

To install version 3.3.0, 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).
