Details for 2025-01-15

• Wiki/Docs:
  • updated: Detailer, Install, Update, Debug, Control-HowTo, ZLUDA
• Allegro Video
  • optimizations: full offload and quantization support
  • reference values: width 1280 height 720 frames 88 steps 100 guidance 7.5
  • note: allegro model is really sensitive to input width/height/frames/steps
    and may result in completely corrupt output if those are not within expected range
• PixelSmith
  • available for SD-XL in txt2img and img2img workflows
  • select from scripts -> pixelsmith
• Hunyuan Video LoRA support
  • example: https://huggingface.co/Cseti/HunyuanVideo-LoRA-Arcane_Jinx-v1
• LTX Video framewise decoding
  • enabled by default, allows generating longer videos with reduced memory requirements
• Sana 4k
  • new Sana variation with support of directly generating 4k images
  • simply select from networks -> models -> reference
  • tip: enable vae tiling when generating very large images
• Logging:
  • reverted enable debug by default
  • updated debug wiki
  • sort logged timers by duration
  • allow min duration env variable for timers: SD_MIN_TIMER=0.1 (default)
  • update installer messages
• Refactor:
  • refactored progress monitoring, job updates and live preview
  • improved metadata save and restore
  • startup tracing and optimizations
  • threading load locks on model loads
  • refactor native vs legacy model loader
  • video save/create
• Schedulers:
  • TDD new super-fast scheduler that can generate images in 4-8 steps
    recommended to use with TDD LoRA
• Detailer:
  • add explicit detailer prompt and negative prompt
  • add explicit detailer steps setting
  • move steps, strength, prompt, negative from settings into ui params
  • set/restore detailer metadata
  • new detailer wiki
• Preview
  • since different TAESD versions produce different results and latest is not necessarily greatest
    you can choose TAESD version in settings -> live preview

  • new runtime compiler implementation: complex types, JIT are now available
  • fast fourier transformation is implemented
  • experimental BLASLt support via nightly build
    • set ZLUDA_NIGHTLY=1 to install nightly ZLUDA: newer torch such as 2.4.x (default) and 2.5.x are now available
    • requirements: unofficial hipBLASLt
• Other
  • XYZ Grid: add prompt search&replace options: primary, refine, detailer, all
  • SysInfo: update to collected data and benchmarks
• Fixes:
  • explict clear caches on model load
  • lock adetailer commit: #a89c01d
  • xyzgrid progress calculation
  • xyzgrid detailer
  • vae tiling use default value if not set
  • sd35 img2img
  • samplers test for scale noise before using
  • scheduler api
  • sampler create error handling
  • controlnet with hires
  • controlnet with batch count
  • apply settings skip hidden settings
  • lora diffusers method apply only once
