v3.7.1 release with Windows installer.

Due to the size of the packaged python environment, the installer is within a multi-part zip file.

The multipart zip can be extracted using 7-Zip: https://www.7-zip.org/

Download both dgenerate_installer.zip.001 and dgenerate_installer.zip.002 to a folder.

Unzip dgenerate_installer.zip.001 to a directory (Right click, 7-Zip -> Extract to "dgenerate_installer") and then run dgenerate_installer\dgenerate.msi to install.

dgenerate will be installed under C:\Program Files\dgenerate by default with an isolated python environment provided.

The install directory will be added to PATH, and dgenerate will be available from the command line.

Portable Install

A portable install is provided via dgenerate_portable.zip.001 and dgenerate_portable.zip.002, these contain
nothing but the dgenerate executable and a frozen python environment which can be placed anywhere.

3.7.1 Patch

\exec directive no longer opens a console window when run from the dgenerate_windowed.exe Console UI on Windows, this was due to a missing process creation flag needed to suppress the creation of a console on windows, particularly when running a process
as the child of an application not compiled as a windows console application.

--file and --no-stdin are no longer explicitly mutually exclusive, --no-stdin is simply ignored

--no-stdin can be used when when stdin is a tty to no effect

These changes allow self referential execution of dgenerate as a subprocess from a config script to work in all cases as demonstrated in the documentation. The directive makes use of the --no-stdin argument internally which caused issues with the usage of --file from inside configs with the \exec directive, as well as with invoking dgenerate using the \exec directive while in --shell mode from a terminal due to —no-stdin being previously not compatible with being connected to a tty

# now works 

\exec dgenerate --file my_config.dgen

In addition sub-shell behavior is fixed in both dgenerate --shell mode from a terminal as well as in the Console UI for dgenerate
and other shells.

# Now works in the console UI and in a dgenerate --shell terminal session

\exec dgenerate --shell

Also:

# You can run a sub-shell in the UI and from the terminal,
# for instance, you can launch cmd on windows and interact with it

\exec cmd

# You could launch bash on linux, it will properly behave as a sub-shell

\exec bash

3.7.0 Features & Fixes

  • Textual Inversion (prompt embeddings) support for Stable Diffusion XL, --textual-inversions now works with --model-type torch-sdxl
  • Added dgenerate --file argument, which allows running configuration scripts from a file path instead of using a pipe or file redirect, this also allows you to use #! dgenerate --file as the hash bang interpreter specification for bash or other unix shells in your config file
  • Any dgenerate argument which can accept a single file in a URI specification or otherwise, such as a .safetensors file for instance, can now be given a direct URL link to that model, dgenerate will download the file to its web cache and then use it. This allows for the use of direct links to CivitAI models in most cases provided that you append your CivitAI token to the URL arguments. See: The SDXL Textual Inversion Example and Utilizing CivitAI links and Other Hosted Models
  • \download directive and download() template function for config, allows downloading models / images to dgenerates web cache or arbitrary paths. Simple caching behavior is implemented for downloads to arbitrary paths. Caching can be disabled. See: \download --help and documentation
  • Adopted the file extension .dgen for dgenerate config / script files.
  • Windows installer can now create an optional file association for the extension .dgen which launches the dgenerate Console UI when clicking on a dgenerate config file, the file is opened in the Console UI in multiline editing mode automatically.
  • Console UI, improved syntax highlighting and fixes for URL & File Path entities
  • Console UI, context aware syntax highlighting for the \import_plugins directive, plugin name arguments including file paths highlight as keywords for contrast
  • Console UI, Run menu now features a Debug Mode option, which relaunches the shell process with the -v argument, this causes copious amounts of debug information to be output when dgenerate is running, including unhandled exceptions from directives
  • Console UI, fix for typing in certain printable characters not triggering a re-highlight of the input text on Linux
  • Fixes to cache flush on file expiry, non existent files no longer cause an error when being flushed from the web cache
  • Latest diffusers library, latest spandrel, many dependencies updated
  • Additional documentation about writing dgenerate config files and the config language itself with table of contents
