0.5.4-Alpha

0.5.4 Alpha

I haven't written release notes thus far because there's just so much but I'm going to try for this one.

The major updates here and other features are announced as they happen in the Feature Announcement Thread, I highly recommend following that thread!

Major Updates

This is the first release containing the in-progress UI rework. (There's more to come on that still). Things look differenty now! Hopefully you like it better!

This also contains ReVision support. When using SDXL, drag images into the prompt box to have them parsed as part of the prompt. It's pretty neat!

Minor Updates

This release contains a significant amount of minor UI and QOL improvements, and a few fun new features

• You can now set custom titles on backends
• You can now toggle backends on/off (suggested by AIMusicExperiment)
• presets work a bit more cleanly on the inside now, and can do fancier things like have loras in them
• you can now edit all your parameter settings (including you can make the old prompt param visible again this way if you want)
• errors are now tracked better all over the place
• fixes to edge-cases where comfy did not launch properly for a couple users. I don't want to talk about how annoying this bug was to track down. It was an adventure. I cried a few times. But we did it. Thank you WyzBorrero for helping me test way more than any sane person should.
• the image batch view now puts new images at the top, not the bottom, so you always got the latest visible
• added "alt resolution multiplier" to make it easy to do things like grids of different sized images or whatever if you want to be weird with res
• the Grid Generator now has tab completion suggestions
• a whole lot of improvements to the browser UIs (images/presets/models/etc), including you can select new formats like "Small Cards" or "Giant Thumbnails" or etc now
• made the colab more reliable. Thank you dotcsv, rocketpal, nyaneenee, and yoinked for reports and testing related to colab issues.
• model folders now self-generate as a bunch of people were confused where to put loras and all
• you can now use arrow keys to quickly jump between different images in the current generation batch, including both on the generate page and when you click the image to fullscreen view it (suggested by pookyjuice)
• improved persistence (eg of loras) across page reloads
• added a replacement for the icon, it's now an SDXL-generated purple robot bee. It's kinda cute. I need to ask an actual graphic designer to replace it properly lol
• You can now right-click generate to "Generate Forever", and right-click interrupt to "Interrupt All Sessions" (ie kill old queues that are left from tabs you already closed)
• changed timeout tracking to allow you to queue a thing and let it complete days later if you really want giant terrifying queues to run.
• changed default param limits to let you put them ridiculously high if you want. Queue ten thousand images in one go if you want, who am I to stop you?
• custom comfy workflows were made extra smooth

That. is not. A complete list. That's just the highlights. There's a lot more. Do you see why I normally don't write release notes? There's a lot.
