Release 0.18.1

🎨 New Model Support

• Krea 2: Add text-to-image support for krea/Krea-2-Turbo — a single-stream MMDiT built on the Qwen-Image stack (Qwen-Image VAE + a 12-layer Qwen3-VL-4B text-encoder tap). Includes the mflux-generate-krea2 CLI (live progress, --metadata, stepwise output), er_sde and Euler samplers, and mflux-save quantization caching.

✨ Improvements

• Atomic --lora and --image flags: Pair each path with its value on a single, repeatable flag — --lora A.safetensors 0.7 --lora B.safetensors (scale defaults to 1.0) and --image photo.jpg 0.6 (strength defaults to the model default). This removes the positional-alignment footgun of the parallel --lora-paths/--lora-scales and --image-path/--image-strength lists, which remain fully supported and are marked deprecated in --help. (#438)

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Ideogram 4 stepwise output: Fix --stepwise-image-output-dir for Ideogram 4 by routing unpacked latents to vae.decode instead of decode_packed_latents when channels are already VAE-ready. (#444)

📝 Documentation

• Related projects: Add mflux-paint to the Related projects list. (#471)

🧰 DX & Maintenance

• PyPI trusted publishing: Publish releases via GitHub Actions OIDC (pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish) instead of a long-lived PYPI_API_TOKEN secret.
