2023-04-29 - Fix prompt schedule for second order samplers

Second order samplers (Heun, DPM2/a, DPM++ 2S/a, DPM++ SDE / Karras) cause the prompt schedule to run twice as fast when prompting something like [dog:cat:0.5] (i.e. for 100 steps, prompt is dog until step 25, cat until 50, and remains dog until 100). This fixes that by checking if the sampler is any of these second order samplers and multiplies the step count by 2 for calculating the prompt schedule.

2023-02-18 - deterministic DPM++ SDE across different batch sizes

DPM++ SDE and DPM++ SDE Karras samplers used to produce different images in batches compared to single image with same parameters. PR https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/7730 fixes this. But the nature of the fix also changes what generates for single images. an option is added to compatibility settings to revert to old behavior: Do not make DPM++ SDE deterministic across different batch sizes.

2023-01-11 - Alternating words syntax bugfix

If you used alternating words syntax bugfix with emphasis before 97ff69ef, the program would incorrectly replace emphasized part with just (. So, [a|(b:1.1)], rather than becoming a sequence of

a -> (b:1.1) -> a -> (b:1.1) -> ...

becomes

a -> ( -> a -> ( -> ...

The bug was fixed. If you need to reproduce old seeds, put the opening parenthesis into your prompt yourself ([a|\(])

2023-01-05 - Karras sigma min/max

Some of discussion is here: PR

To revert to old sigmas (0.1 to 10), use setting: Use old karras scheduler sigmas.

2023-01-02 - Hires fix rework

Rather than using width/height to specify target resolution, width/height is used to specify first pass resolution, and resulting resolution is either set using "Scale by" multiplier (Hires upscale), or directly using "Resize width to" and/or "Resize height to" (Hires resize).

Here's how old and new settings correspond to each other:

Old version	New version
Size: 1024x1024	Size: 512x512, Hires upscale: 2.0
Size: 1280x1024, First pass size: 640x512	Size: 640x512, Hires upscale: 2.0; Alternatively Size: 640x512, Hires resize: 1280x1024
Size: 1024x1280, First pass size: 0x0	Size: 512x576 (auto-calcualted if you use old infotext - paste it into prompt and use ↙️ button), Hires upscale: 2.0
Size: 1024x512, First pass size: 512x512	Size: 512x512, Hires resize: 1024x512

2022-09-29 - New emphasis implementation

New implementation supports escape characters and numerical weights. A downside of the new implementation is that the old one was not perfect and sometimes ate characters: "a (((farm))), daytime", for example, would become "a farm daytime" without the comma. This behavior is not shared by the new implementation which preserves all text correctly, and this means that your saved seeds may produce different pictures.

For now, there is an option in settings to use the old implementation: Use old emphasis implementation.
