v6.4.0rc2

This minor release includes a handful of fixes and enhancements.

Enhancements

Shout-out to @csehatt741 for knocking out some great QoL improvements. Thank you!

• Canvas Bbox visibility can be toggled with shift+o. Thanks @csehatt741!
• Nodes with execution errors are highlighted red. Thanks @csehatt741!
• Prevent a field from being added to Workflow Builder forms multiple times. Thanks @csehatt741!
• Support recall of CLIP Skip metadata. Thanks @csehatt741!
• Fixed some issues with model install paths.
• Tweaked state persistence strategy - now debounced to 300ms instead of throttled to 2000ms. This should reduce stutters while doing things like panning around the Canvas.
• SDXL Style prompts have been removed from the Generate, Canvas and Upscaling tabs. This rarely-used setting was unintuitive at best. You can still use it in Workflows, but we are removing this footgun from the linear UI tabs.
• Prompt and seed metadata may now be recalled on the Upscaling tab.
• The buttons to download potentially very large starter model bundles show a confirmation dialog before starting the download. Thanks @csehatt741!
• Merged layers are inserted in the right spot in the layers panel. Thanks @csehatt741!
• Added button to image context menu and viewer toolbar to locate an image in the gallery. The image's board is selected and image scrolled to. Thanks @csehatt741!
• Support FLUX PEFT LoRAs with base_model.model key prefix.
• Updated translations. Thanks @Harvester62!

Fixes

• Improved VAE encode VRAM usage.
• Minor bug when concatenating Kontext ref images in latent space that could result in some images not being "seen".
• Fit to Bbox functionality could result in the layer being sized correctly but positioned incorrectly when the bbox was not aligned to the 64px grid.
• Allow use of mouse in node title editable inputs.

Internal/Dev

• Fix AMD docker image build issue related to disk space. Thanks @heathen711!

Installing and Updating

The Invoke Launcher is the recommended way to install, update and run Invoke. It takes care of a lot of details for you - like installing the right version of python - and runs Invoke as a desktop application.

Note: With recent updates to torch, users on older GPUs (20xx and 10xx series) will likely run into issues with installing/updating. We are still evaluating how we can support older GPUs, but in the meantime users have found success manually downgrading torch. Head over to discord if you need help.

Follow the Quick Start guide to get started with the launcher.

If you don't want to use the launcher, or need a headless install, you can follow the manual install guide.
