v3.0 - SDXL, ControlNet, LoRA, Embeddings and a lot more!

• ControlNet - Full support for ControlNet, with native integration of the common ControlNet models. Just select a control image, then choose the ControlNet filter/model and run. No additional configuration or download necessary. Supports custom ControlNets as well.
• SDXL - Full support for SDXL. No configuration necessary, just put the SDXL model in the models/stable-diffusion folder.
• Multiple LoRAs - Use multiple LoRAs, including SDXL and SD2-compatible LoRAs. Put them in the models/lora folder.
• Embeddings - Use textual inversion embeddings easily, by putting them in the models/embeddings folder and using their names in the prompt (or by clicking the + Embeddings button to select embeddings visually). Thanks @JeLuF.
• Seamless Tiling - Generate repeating textures that can be useful for games and other art projects. Works best in 512x512 resolution. Thanks @JeLuF.
• Inpainting Models - Full support for inpainting models, including custom inpainting models. No configuration (or yaml files) necessary.
• Faster than v2.5 - Nearly 40% faster than Easy Diffusion v2.5, and can be even faster if you enable xFormers.
• Even less VRAM usage - Less than 2 GB for 512x512 images on 'low' VRAM usage setting (SD 1.5). Can generate large images with SDXL.
• WebP images - Supports saving images in the lossless webp format.
• Undo in the UI - Remove tasks or images from the queue easily, and undo the action if you removed anything accidentally. Thanks @JeLuF.
• Three new samplers, and latent upscaler - Added DEIS, DDPM and DPM++ 2m SDE as additional samplers. Thanks @ogmaresca and @rbertus2000.
• Significantly faster 'Upscale' and 'Fix Faces' buttons on the images
• Major rewrite of the code - We've switched to using diffusers under-the-hood, which allows us to release new features faster, and focus on making the UI and installer even easier to use.

v2.5.41 - CodeFormer, AMD support for Linux, Latent Upscaler, Share on Cloudflare and more!

Lots of new features: CodeFormer, AMD support for Linux, Latent Upscaler, Share on Cloudflare and more!

Pin the sdkit version during fresh installs

v2.5 ~Twice as fast, SD 2.1, 6 new samplers, Model Merging and lots more.

• Nearly twice as fast - significantly faster speed of image generation. Code contributions are welcome to make our project even faster: https://github.com/easydiffusion/sdkit/#is-it-fast
• Support for Stable Diffusion 2.1 (including CPU) - supports loading v1.4 or v2.0 or v2.1 models seamlessly. Just place your SD 2.1 models in the models/stable-diffusion folder, and refresh the UI page. Works on CPU as well.
• Memory optimized Stable Diffusion 2.1 - you can now use Stable Diffusion 2.1 models, with the same low VRAM optimizations that we've always had for SD 1.4. Please note, the SD 2.0 and 2.1 models require more GPU and System RAM, as compared to the SD 1.4 and 1.5 models.
• 6 new samplers! - explore the new samplers, some of which can generate great images in less than 10 inference steps!
• Model Merging - You can now merge two models (.ckpt or .safetensors) and output .ckpt or .safetensors models, optionally in fp16 precision. Details: https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/wiki/Model-Merging
• Intelligent Model Detection - automatically picks the right YAML configuration for known models. E.g. we automatically detect and apply "v" parameterization (required for some SD 2.0 models), and "fp32" attention precision (required for some SD 2.1 models).
• Fast loading/unloading of VAEs - No longer needs to reload the entire Stable Diffusion model, each time you change the VAE
• Three GPU Memory Usage Settings - High (fastest, maximum VRAM usage), Balanced (default - almost as fast, significantly lower VRAM usage), Low (slowest, very low VRAM usage). The Low setting is applied automatically for GPUs with less than 4 GB of VRAM.
• Find models in sub-folders - This allows you to organize your models into sub-folders inside models/stable-diffusion, instead of keeping them all in a single folder.
• Save metadata as JSON - You can now save the metadata files as either text or json files (choose in the Settings tab).
• Color correction for img2img - an option to preserve the color profile (histogram) of the initial image. This is especially useful if you're getting red-tinted images after inpainting/masking.
• Major rewrite of the code - Most of the codebase has been reorganized and rewritten, to make it more manageable and easier for new developers to contribute features. We've separated our core engine into a new project called sdkit, which allows anyone to easily integrate Stable Diffusion (and related modules like GFPGAN etc) into their programming projects (via a simple pip install sdkit): https://github.com/easydiffusion/sdkit/
• Name change - Last, and probably the least, the UI is now called "Easy Diffusion". It indicates the focus of this project - an easy way for people to play with Stable Diffusion.

(and lots of changes, by lots of contributors. Thank you!)

Our focus continues to remain on an easy installation experience, and an easy user-interface. While still remaining pretty powerful, in terms of features and speed.

v2.4.13 - Scan for malicious files, custom VAE, multi-GPU support and more

Major Changes

• Automatic scanning for malicious model files - using picklescan. Thanks @JeLuF
• Support for custom VAE models. You can place your VAE files in the models/vae folder, and refresh the browser page to use them. More info: https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/wiki/VAE-Variational-Auto-Encoder
• Experimental support for multiple GPUs! It should work automatically. Just open one browser tab per GPU, and spread your tasks across your GPUs. For e.g. open our UI in two browser tabs if you have two GPUs. You can customize which GPUs it should use in the "Settings" tab, otherwise let it automatically pick the best GPUs. Thanks @madrang . More info: https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/wiki/Run-on-Multiple-GPUs
• Cleaner UI design - Show settings and help in new tabs, instead of dropdown popups (which were buggy). Thanks @mdiller
• Progress bar. Thanks @mdiller
• Custom Image Modifiers - You can now save your custom image modifiers! Your saved modifiers can include special characters like {}, (), [], |
• Drag and Drop text files generated from previously saved images, and copy settings to clipboard. Thanks @madrang
• Paste settings from clipboard. Thanks @JeLuF
• Bug fixes to reduce the chances of tasks crashing during long multi-hour runs (chrome can put long-running background tabs to sleep). Thanks @JeLuF and @madrang
• Improved documentation. Thanks @JeLuF and @jsuelwald
• Improved the codebase for dealing with system settings and UI settings. Thanks @mdiller
• Help instructions next to some setttings, and in the tab
• Show system info in the settings tab
• Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Enter to start a task
