- Caption dropout is supported in ``train_db.py``, ``fine_tune.py`` and ``train_network.py``. Thanks to forestsource!
- ``--caption_dropout_rate`` option specifies the dropout rate for captions (0~1.0, 0.1 means 10% chance for dropout). If dropout occurs, the image is trained with the empty caption. Default is 0 (no dropout).
- ``--caption_dropout_every_n_epochs`` option specifies how many epochs to drop captions. If ``3`` is specified, in epoch 3, 6, 9 ..., images are trained with all captions empty. Default is None (no dropout).
- ``--caption_tag_dropout_rate`` option specified the dropout rate for tags (comma separated tokens) (0~1.0, 0.1 means 10% chance for dropout). If dropout occurs, the tag is removed from the caption. If ``--keep_tokens`` option is set, these tokens (tags) are not dropped. Default is 0 (no droupout).
- The bulk image downsampling script is added. Documentation is [here](https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-scripts/blob/main/train_network_README-ja.md#%E7%94%BB%E5%83%8F%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A4%E3%82%BA%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%97%E3%83%88) (in Jpanaese). Thanks to bmaltais!
- Typo check is added. Thanks to shirayu!
- Add option to autolaunch the GUI in a browser and set the server_port. USe either `gui.ps1 --inbrowser --server_port 3456`or `gui.cmd -inbrowser -server_port 3456`
- Increase max LoRA rank (dim) size to 1024.
- Update finetune preprocessing scripts.
- ``.bmp`` and ``.jpeg`` are supported. Thanks to breakcore2 and p1atdev!
- The default weights of ``tag_images_by_wd14_tagger.py`` is now ``SmilingWolf/wd-v1-4-convnext-tagger-v2``. You can specify another model id from ``SmilingWolf`` by ``--repo_id`` option. Thanks to SmilingWolf for the great work.
- To change the weight, remove ``wd14_tagger_model`` folder, and run the script again.
- ``--max_data_loader_n_workers`` option is added to each script. This option uses the DataLoader for data loading to speed up loading, 20%~30% faster.
- Please specify 2 or 4, depends on the number of CPU cores.
- ``--recursive`` option is added to ``merge_dd_tags_to_metadata.py`` and ``merge_captions_to_metadata.py``, only works with ``--full_path``.
- ``make_captions_by_git.py`` is added. It uses [GIT microsoft/git-large-textcaps](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/git-large-textcaps) for captioning.
- ``requirements.txt`` is updated. If you use this script, [please update the libraries](https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-scripts#upgrade).
- Usage is almost the same as ``make_captions.py``, but batch size should be smaller.
- ``--remove_words`` option removes as much text as possible (such as ``the word "XXXX" on it``).
- ``--skip_existing`` option is added to ``prepare_buckets_latents.py``. Images with existing npz files are ignored by this option.
- ``clean_captions_and_tags.py`` is updated to remove duplicated or conflicting tags, e.g. ``shirt`` is removed when ``white shirt`` exists. if ``black hair`` is with ``red hair``, both are removed.
- Tag frequency is added to the metadata in ``train_network.py``. Thanks to space-nuko!
- __All tags and number of occurrences of the tag are recorded.__ If you do not want it, disable metadata storing with ``--no_metadata`` option.
