0.9.3-Beta

Been a couple months since the last version release, was busy with work on ComfyUI and a surprise trip to Tokyo, but I'm back in full force now.

Reddit announcement of this release: https://new.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1g2n9ya/swarmui_093_beta_release/

Major Updates

• Now supports and uses the new modern Comfy Frontend!
• Now have tooltips on all Swarm-Comfy Nodes
• added native support for GGUF models, see https://github.com/mcmonkeyprojects/SwarmUI/blob/master/docs/Model%20Support.md#gguf-quantized-models for info
• added a bulk civitai metadata lookup utility #1 (comment)
• comfy backend settings now have an option for which version of the comfy frontend should be used in the comfy workflow tab
• autocomplete user settings have been upgraded with a bunch of handy new configuration options requested by a bunch of weebs
• added an Extension Manager tab under Server #1 (comment)
• Swarm now builds as an executable, rather than using dotnet to launch the process. Everything behaves the same, and the old .dll launch works if you have custom scripts, just Swarm is uniquely identified in task manager and has an exe icon and stuff like that now. This might make Windows do that Do you want to let this app access the network? popup thing.

Minor Updates

• GenerateForeverQueueSize for multi-GPU users to abuse generate forever - added in a PR from @wottso
• improved auto webui image metadata import
• comfy backend gpu_id can now use CUDA syntax to work with the comfy multigpu node pack that someone made (I don't recommend it, but you can do it if you want)
• added native support for NF4 models
• added a button on Server->Logs to quickly submit your recent debug logs to a pastebin service, so if you have issues and are asking for help you can easily share clear full logs
• model downloader now has a folder selector
• new theme Solarized Light for light with a bit less eyesear - thanks to @yoinked-h
• new prompt syntax setvar and var, to allow reusing dynamic variables on the fly inside a prompt - thanks to @Targren
• new SwarmMaskGrow comfy node
• new Mask Grow advanced option under Init Image, to grow your masks automatically, can be handy in some cases
• better advanced settings for remote backends (headers/auth stuff)
• unet folder renamed to diffusion_models since nobody actually puts unets in there
• starting to build up a list of extensions https://github.com/mcmonkeyprojects/SwarmUI/blob/master/docs/Extensions.md see also the discord extensions channel
• swarm internal option for 16bit png file output (high precision data unlikely to be useful)
• relatively robust and documented webhook firing engine https://github.com/mcmonkeyprojects/SwarmUI/blob/master/docs/Features/Webhooks.md
• clicking wildcards while you have the prompt or negative prompt input selected now inserts the wildcard where you had selected
• you can now list multiple model paths with ; separators in server config
• edit model metadata now lets you search civitai using model hash
• new 'refine image' button on image menus, to quickly refine an existing image
• improved utilities around extension development
• as usual, many small improvements, bug fixes, etc. - over 200 commits since the last release!

• new server setting XLDefaultAsXL1 as a lazy hack for if you're tired of model authors breaking the metadata of XL models
• new server setting EditMetadataWriteJSON, write json instead of editing model metadata, useful for slow harddrives
• there's now an advanced parameter for ip adapter start/stop
• added prompt syntax shorthands, eg <wc:my/wildcard/name>
• added support for AuraFlow v0.1 (must select architecture manuallay atm, AuraFlow team intend to add proper model metadata in the near future)
• near parameter [FreeU] Version for FreeU - lets you select FreeU Version 2
• you can now use a negative threshold value in <segment: to invert the mask
• new setting Logs -> RepeatTimestampAfterMinutes, handy for swarm servers that are left running for very long times that want clearer timestamps when there's big gaps in logs
• added advanced param ControlNet Union Type for if you're using controlnet-union and want to manually specify the subtype
• added Perturbed Attention Guidance under Advanced Sampling
• added IP-Adapter Weight Type for if you want "prompt is more important" or "style transfer" ip-adapter settings
• tab completion of booru tags now displays the tag count
• improvements to installation, esp. AMD (amd is still cursed but it's a little better now)
• as usual, many small improvements, bug fixes, etc.

• new user setting AutoCompleteSuffix to have autocompletions autoappend commas or things like that

• controlnets now autodetect canny,depth,pose,scribble from just filename cues if there's no metadata for it (ie if you haven't specified a preprocessor manually)
