    Changelog

    2026-10-19

    Version: 1.1.0

    Feat

    • Add Neutral Jade, Neutral Ocean, Neutral Amethyst and Neutral Amber, pairing Neutral node backgrounds and titles with each palette's colored controls. Eclipse's Theme groups option applies matching Neutral group colors.

    • Add native ComfyUI text encoder generation alongside the existing Smart LM backends, with compatible local files grouped in the model selector.

    • Reuse ComfyUI loading, tokenization, generation and memory management with Nova tasks, prompts, training examples, image inputs, sampling and Keep loaded behavior.

    • Keep shared text encoder files outside registry editing and deletion; preserve saved selections and hide controls that do not apply to native generation.

    Fix

    • Resolve native CUDA selections to a concrete GPU index before loading and cache reuse, preventing failures in ComfyUI's dynamic VRAM manager.

    Perf

    • Discover compatible encoders from cached checkpoint headers and invalidate model/output reuse when files change.

    Docs

    • Document the new variants, linked selection across the Nova packs and group appearance.

    • Document native encoder selection, supported files, sampling behavior and shared-file ownership.


    2026-10-16

    Version: 1.0.0 — Initial release

    • Five compact panel nodes for language/vision models, image tagging, detection, mask/bbox conversion and structured song prompts, with native and Docker backends.

    • A shared panel design inspired by DaSiWa, adapted for classic ComfyUI and Nodes 2.0 with searchable model/task selectors, collapsible sections, pinned sections and resizable text fields.

    • Controls update through editing and lifecycle events, reducing canvas work without native-widget visibility or recurring graph scans.

    • Independent Nova node IDs, menu, routes, settings, configuration and container ownership allow the original SmartLLM pack to remain installed. Saved server settings hydrate the UI, and native/Docker backends share the current model folder.

    • Connected prompt, detection and seed overrides, chained tasks, independent Standard/NSFW training selection per loader, exact 64-bit seed controls, and preserved image-batch and prompt-list processing.

    • Registry Manager retains model selections and backend quantization across reopening and follows the selected theme, with grouped model/source/integrity sections, matching mode bars and controls, and Docker cards for setup diagnostics, immutable image references and runtime actions.

    • Neutral as the default node design, plus Jade, Ocean, Amethyst, Amber and custom JSON themes. Theme selection persists in Nova’s config; bundled palettes are extracted once and preserve user edits and deletions.

    • Installable dependency extras and the bundled Florence implementation with declared vision dependencies and actionable dependency messages.

    • Guides and an illustrated visual tour covering the Nova panels, model selection, detection and converters, plus detailed model registration, file verification and Docker/Ollama runtime walkthroughs.
