‼️ 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

  • To take advantage of the image saving speed increase for existing installations, set your png_compress_level to 1 in your invoke.yaml file.
  • Graph data was not being used and is longer saved in the database. You may experience an unusual pause during updating as this is data is deleted.
  • Currently known issues:
    • Scan for Models is currently disabled due to the Model Manager refactor

💿 Installation and Upgrading:

To install version 3.6.3, 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).

💻 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.
