v1.11.1

Introducing AI Runner v1.11.0! This latest version brings a host of exciting improvements and new features to enhance your experience. Let’s take a look at the highlights:

The drawing tool has undergone significant enhancements, providing smoother brush strokes with improved rendering and anti-aliasing. You now have the ability to adjust the opacity of brush strokes and easily create straight lines by holding shift and clicking two points.

Design improvements include a revamped layout for the embeddings list, a dynamic brush cursor that adjusts in size, and a more visible border for the active grid area. Additionally, the strength slider now maintains its correct initial value.

LoRA is now built-in and enabled by default in AI Runner. Experience its seamless integration and improved functionality.

Several miscellaneous updates have been implemented, such as the option to toggle sending new images to a new layer, upgraded libraries, and the addition of unit tests. I’ve also made it easier to work with custom paths for models, LoRA, and Textual Embedding, eliminating the need to restart the software when changing these paths.

To optimize memory usage, I’ve improved model handling and memory settings for faster inference speed. The memory management window now includes helpful labels and tooltips.

As for bug fixes, I’ve resolved crashes when switching between models and fixed issues with exporting to JPEG, pasting and copying images, draw history undo/redo, image filters, and xformers. Moreover, Triton has been added to the Ubuntu build.

These are just the highlights of the numerous improvements and bug fixes brought by AI Runner v1.11.0. Take a look at the full changelog below
