Great work! Hope Forge pulls in these updates as well. They've been quiet for a month now.

I'm still kinda partial to the OG A1111, but there's a few useful extensions (like LayerDiffuse) that rely on Forge.

[continue-revolution]

We will have to find a way to abstract out the middleware between your front end and the diffusion backend. This process may take a while but is not absolutely impossible. If this has been achieved, we will be able to port the forge backend (and potentially any backend, if their API match) here and any extension (and even some comfyui nodes) could be compatible.

[strawberrymelonpanda]

That'd be nice. Good luck! 👍

Love to see it! Does this version address the memory leak issues that were reportedly introduced in 1.8.0? I.e., Memory leak when using SDXL in the latest version of webui automatic111111

[Nomination-NRB]

same problem

[buzsh]

@Nomination-NRB have you experienced this with 1.9.0? I'm hoping to find some time to test it today.

[Nomination-NRB]

The sd version has been updated to 1.9, and when you switch between the 1.5 model and sdxl, the memory will still increase and eventually the memory will overflow

[AUTOMATIC1111]

I couldn't reproduce it on my machine. Switched about 20 times between SD15 and SDXL checkpoint, RAM usage at idle hovered between 1.8G and 2.3G and never raised.
