Summary

This release introduces significant installation prerequisites, including a mandatory launcher update, and brings new UI components like the model combobox, alongside internal preparation for Imagen3/ChatGPT 4o support.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • Form Builder state will be reset upon first launch after updating to v5.10.0. Users must save their current workflow before updating and manually reload it afterward to prevent loss of unsaved changes.

Migration Steps

  1. If you are on v5.9.1 or older, you must update to the latest installer/launcher (v1.5.0) before updating Invoke, otherwise the update may fail.
  2. If the installation fails, retry the installation with **repair mode** enabled to resolve potential Python environment conflicts.
  3. Save any unsaved changes in the Form Builder before updating, as it will reset on first launch after the update.

✨ New Features

  • New model combobox component introduced for improved model selection, currently active only for the main model drop-down.
  • Added button in the Model Manager tab to reset an existing Hugging Face (HF) token.
  • Support added for FLUX LoRAs trained in `invoke-training`.
  • Nodes outputting images (including image collections) now ensure the gallery updates.
  • Internal: Optional `output_meta` field added to `BaseInvocationOutput` for future metadata attachment.
  • Internal: Support code added for generation via Imagen3/ChatGPT 4o (currently unavailable in Community Edition).
  • UI improvements for ChatGPT integration, including support for reference images and img2img.
  • Ability to disable generation using API models via UI.
  • Implementation of support for Non-Standard LoRA Format.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed issue where drag-and-drop functionality failed to scroll when used inside a scrollable container (e.g., layers or form builder elements).
  • Fixed a typo in UI toast messages.
  • Fixed an unhandled exception when registering the hotkey handler by ensuring `selectModelsTab` hotkey data is always added.
  • Fixed a deprecation warning related to `get_iso_timestamp`.
  • Added prompt validation requiring at least one character for Imagen3 graphs.
