Canvas images appearing in the wrong places
The little eye defaulting to off in canvas staging toolbar
Premature OOM on windows (see shared GPU memory FAQ)
~1s delay between queue items
Wonky model manager forms navigating away from UI @clsn
Invocation API:

Internal:
Improved knip config @webpro
Updated python deps @Malrama

Minor updates that resolve performance issues on the canvas.
Some installation/updating fixes to improve experience.

Fixed bug with multiple embeddings
Added Tiled Upscaling to Default Workflows (Beta)
Respect use of torch-sdp from config.yaml

Workflow Library:
Until now, a workflow could only be associated with an image, or be downloaded as JSON.
The Workflow Library allows workflows to be saved independently to the database. The UI provides sorting and filtering options to manage them.
With the Workflow Library, we can now ship default workflows directly in the app. You’ll see a couple on the Default tab. As the InvokeAI application evolves we will keep these workflows up-to-date, and regularly add more.
Other Enhancements:
More capable node updating
Better errors when your workflow doesn’t match your installed nodes
Community node packs auto-report their name, so if your workflow needs nodes you don’t have installed, you’ll see what’s missing
Custom field types for nodes
Tiled upscaling nodes (BETA)
Added many missing translation strings
Gallery auto-scroll
Developer Changes:
There are a number of important changes for contributors in this release.
Frontend/UI
The biggest change is that the frontend build is no longer included in main. If you run the app off a clone of the repo, you’ll need to build the frontend to use the UI. See the “Impact to Contributors” section on this PR #5253.
Other changes:
Moved from yarn to pnpm for package management
Updated many packages
Refactored all workflow schemas and types
Workflow migration logic implemented
Changes to release process
Backend Changes:
This release includes feature-flagged changes to the model manager and a new database migration utility.
Model Manager:
The Model Manager is partway through a redesign, to make it more capable and maintainable. The redesign will support a much better user eperience for downloading, installing and managing models. The changes are in the repo, but implemented separately from the user-facing app.

What's New in 3.1.1:
Node versioning

SDXL Inpainting Model is now supported
Inpainting & Outpainting Improvements
Workflow Editor UI Improvements
Model Manager Improvements
Fixed configuration script trying to set VRAM on macOS

Workflows:
InvokeAI 3.1.0 introduces a new powerful tool to aide the image generation process in the Workflow Builder. Workflows combine the power a nodes based software with the ease of use of a GUI to deliver the best of both worlds.
The Node Editor allows you to build the custom image generation workflows you need, as well as enables you to create and use custom nodes, making InvokeAI a fully extensible platform.
To get started with nodes in InvokeAI, take a look at our example workflows, or some of the custom Community Nodes.
A zip file of example workflows can be found at the bottom of this page under Assets.
Other New Features:
Expanded SDXL support across all areas of InvokeAI.
Enhanced In-painting & Out-painting capabilities.
Improved Control Asset Usage, including from the Unified Canvas.
Newly added nodes for better functionality.
Seamless Tiling is back, with SDXL support!
Improved In-inpainting & Out-painting

Download Stable Diffusion XL 1.0 (base and refiner) using the model installer or the Web UI-based Model Manager
Invisible watermarking, which is recommended for use with Stable Diffusion XL, is now available as an option in the Web UI settings dialogue.
The NSFW detector, which was missing in 3.0.0, is again available. It can be activated as an option in the settings dialogue.
During initial installation, a set of recommended ControlNet, LoRA and Textual Inversion embedding files will now be downloaded and installed by default, along with several "starter" main models.
User interface cleanup to reduce visual clutter and increase usability.
Recent Changes:
Since RC3, the following has changed:
Fixed crash on Macintosh M1 machines when rendering SDXL images
Fixed black images when generating on Macintoshes using the Unipc scheduler (falls back to CPU; slow)

A Dynamic Prompts interface that lets you generate combinations of prompt elements.
Preliminary support for Stable Diffusion XL the latest iteration of Stability AI's image generation models.
A redesigned user interface which makes it easier to access frequently-used elements, such as the random seed generator.
The ability to create multiple image galleries, allowing you to organize your generated images topically or chronologically.
An experimental Nodes Editor that lets you design and execute complex image generation operations using a point-and-click interface. To activate this, please use the settings icon at the upper right of the Web UI.
Macintosh users can now load models at half-precision (float16) in order to reduce the amount of RAM.
Advanced users can choose earlier CLIP layers during generation to produce a larger variety of images.
Long prompt support (>77 tokens).
Memory and speed improvements.

Fix "Package 'invokeai' requires a different Python:" error

This is a bugfix release. In previous versions, the built-in updating script did not update the Xformers library when the torch library was upgraded, leaving people with a version that ran on CPU only. Install this version to fix the issue so that it doesn't happen when updating to future versions of InvokeAI 3.0.0.
As a bonus, this version allows you to apply a checkpoint VAE, such as vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.ckpt to a diffusers model, without worrying about finding the diffusers version of the VAE. From within the web Model Manager, choose the diffusers model you wish to change, press the edit button, and enter the Location of the VAE file of your choice. The field will now accept either a .ckpt file, or a diffusers directory.
