Release Alpha v0.19.2 · chaiNNer-org/chaiNNer

This update contains a few important bug fixes as well as some new long-requested features.

Changes

Use Rust implementation for dither nodes (#2075)
- This implementation is between 100 and 500 times faster than the previous pure-python implementation.
Use Rust implementation for Copy to Clipboard (#2079)
- This removes the multiple platform-specific dependencies as well as enables support for this node on silicon Macs.
Add support for saving 16 bit and 32 bit images (#2083)
Add setting for allowing multiple concurrent chaiNNer instances (#2089)
Light mode improvements (#2064, thanks @stonerl)
Add support for saving BMP in Save Image (#2077)
"Webp (Lossless)" in Save Image is now just "Webp" with a lossless checkbox (#2080)
Added warnings in node documentation for nodes with limited color depth (#2090)

Quantize to Reference (#2071)
- A custom quantization implementation that tries to emulate a reference image as closely as possible. Useful for pixel art upscales.
Percent (#2076, thanks @adegerard)
- Similar to the Number node, this node lets you input a percentage via slider to connect to other nodes.

Fixed dropdown settings resetting their values unintentionally (#2081)
- This fixes the ONNX execution option problem people have been reporting recently. Make sure to check that you aren't using CPU by accident.
Fixed Image File Iterator not sorting alphabetically (#2067)
Fixed Stretch Contrast (#2082)
Ignore file extension case in file image iterator (#2084)
