Release announcements. These get written when a release needs more explaining than its changelog gives it.

Alpha v0.25.0

The first stable release in over a year. Two iterators can now be used together, as long as they are the same length.

Alpha v0.24.0

Conditional branching, a skipped state for nodes, selectable themes, and PyTorch upscaling roughly 1.25x faster than before.

Alpha v0.19.0

Searchable documentation for every node, a rewritten update screen, backend setup changes, and the first Rust code in chaiNNer.

One year of chaiNNer

A year on from the first public release — what's planned for the year ahead, a website, and the beginnings of a model database.

Alpha v0.16.0

A much more compact node design, inserting a node onto an existing connection, explanations for invalid connections, sharper previews, and DDS support on Windows.

Alpha v0.14.0

Video support rebuilt on a full FFmpeg build, and auto-tiling reworked to use real tile sizes instead of a split factor.

Alpha v0.13.0

GFPGAN face restoration arrives as the Face Upscale node, and the repository moves to the chaiNNer-org organization.

Alpha v0.12.0

Direct PyTorch to NCNN conversion, SwinIR support, faster PyTorch auto-tiling, and lower RAM overhead on large chains.

Alpha v0.11.0

Image previews inside the editor, via a new View Image node and a rework of how previews and starting nodes work.

Alpha v0.10.1

Nodes already on the canvas can be dragged into an iterator, and released back out again.

Alpha v0.10.0

The Navi type system, colored handles that show you what connects to what, a node search context menu, and the ability to disable nodes.

Alpha v0.5.0

Batch upscaling arrives, through a new kind of node called an iterator, along with DDS and TGA support via Pillow.

Alpha v0.3.0

NCNN support brings upscaling to AMD and Intel GPUs, and every node gets renamed and recategorized around what it does rather than what implements it.

Alpha v0.1.0

The initial alpha release, and the first day of chaiNNer being public.
