v6.0.1rc1

This patch release fixes a number of bugs.

Check out the v6.0.0 release notes if you haven't already! It's a big one.

Changes

• Fix an issue that could result in images getting stuck as placeholders.
• Fix an issue where you could drag a panel tab and end up with stacked panels.
• Fix an issue w/ certain languages hard-crashing the UI.
• Render the staging area in a virtualized list to prevent slowdowns when many images are staged.
• Alter the request frequency and prefetching logic for gallery to reduce network requests during scrolling, but keep the same UX.
• Introduce global, thread-safe locking for all DB operations. We hope that this will fix these errors:

  •   sqlite3.InterfaceError: bad parameter or other API misuse
    

  •   pydantic_core._pydantic_core.ValidationError: 1 validation error for GraphExecutionState
      JSON input should be string, bytes or bytearray [type=json_type, input_value=None, input_type=NoneType]

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.
