    [4.1.0] - 2025-10-10

    Summary: Enhance model management by adding support for multiple model types and improving API interactions. This version significantly broadens the toolkit's capabilities, allowing users to manage a wider array of local models and more reliably parse complex recipe metadata, while also fixing key network bugs.

    πŸš€ Added

    Expanded Model Type Support:

    • The Local Manager sidebar and the Recipe Gallery node now support a much wider range of model types.
    • You can now manage, filter, and select from: checkpoints, loras, vae, embeddings, diffusion_models, text_encoders, and hypernetworks.

    ✨ Improvements

    Advanced Metadata Parsing:

    • The parsing engine has been significantly upgraded to understand newer, complex metadata formats (especially from ComfyUI workflows).
    • The system is now far more robust at identifying all components of a recipe, including Checkpoints, LoRAs, and VAEs that were previously missed.

    Smarter Diagnostics:

    • The Recipe Gallery's diagnostic report now provides a direct, clickable link to the Civitai page for any Checkpoint that is specified in a recipe but is not found locally, mirroring the popular feature for missing LoRAs.

    🐞 Fixes

    • China Mirror Endpoint: Fixed a bug where selecting the "China Mirror" network in the settings did not correctly apply the endpoint for all API requests. All browser and API-related features will now correctly use the selected network.

    [4.0.2] - 2025-10-07

    Summary:
    Adds API Key support to improve reliability, authentication, and request limits for all Civitai API interactions.

    πŸš€ Added

    πŸ”‘ API Key Management

    • Introduced a brand-new β€œAPI Key Management” section in the ComfyUI Settings Panel.
    • Users can now generate an API Key from their Civitai Account Page and enter it directly in the plugin settings.
    • Once saved, all plugin requests to Civitai will automatically include Authorization headers for authentication.

    πŸ’‘ Why this matters:
    This feature helps users increase API rate limits and prepare for upcoming Civitai features that may require authentication.
    You can create and manage your API Key on the Civitai Account Settings page.

    [4.0.1] - 2025-10-06

    Fixes

    • Startup freeze issue:
      Some users reported that ComfyUI would hang indefinitely on startup when having a large number of LoRA models.
      This update fixes the issue by moving the scanning process to the background.

    Improvements

    • Background processing:
      Model hashing and Civitai info fetching now run asynchronously in the background, allowing ComfyUI to start instantly.
    • Resume support:
      Added progress persistence, resuming from the last saved state instead of starting over.

    [4.0.0] - 2025-10-05

    πŸ’₯ Major Updates

    • Officially renamed to Civitai Toolkit to reflect its all-in-one suite positioning.
    • The original Recipe Finder remains as a core module.

    ✨ New & Improved

    • Dual Sidebar UI: introduces Local Model Manager and Civitai Online Browser.
    • Enhanced UX: smoother interaction and higher model management efficiency.

    1️⃣ Visual Recipe Finder

    Civitai Recipe Gallery

    • Browse top-rated works for a given model and load full recipes in one click.
    • πŸš€ Instant Workflow Restore β€” safely and smartly reconstructs original workflows (ComfyUI-Manager compatible).
