July 28: a security patch, reconnect self-heal, and OpenRouter's full catalog
Path-traversal hardening on the upload tools, a panel session that
self-heals after a full reconnect/reload/workflow-switch instead of getting
stuck on a dead tab, the complete OpenRouter model list, a Windows
restart_comfyui fix, and a third-party host protocol guide. July 28, 2026July 21: rent a GPU from the panel — RunPod connector and cloud LoRA training
A first-party RunPod connector deploys and drives a cloud GPU pod from the
panel and phone with an honest local⇄pod host switch, live cost/GPU status,
and idle auto-stop; the LoRA trainer learns to train on rented pods; plus
resolve_missing_models and provider model discoverability. July 21, 2026July 20: GPT-5.6, the LoRA trainer lands, Blind mode gets mechanical
The GPT-5.6 family (Sol / Terra / Luna) with the max/ultra effort scale,
seven
train_* tools that train character LoRAs on FLUX.1-dev from chat, a
Blind toggle that mechanically gates every image-returning tool, and a revived
Gemini backend. July 20, 2026July 19: see what I see — viewport tools and one honest error surface
panel_view_selected / panel_view_nodes_in_viewport let the agent read what
you’re looking at, and panel_get_errors becomes the single error surface —
every errored node joined to its cause, closing the “red node, no error message”
gap. July 19, 2026July 18: the 405 that wasn't — speaking pip Manager's legacy-UI dialect
Custom-node and model operations no longer 405 against a pip ComfyUI-Manager in
legacy-UI mode — comfyui-mcp detects the mode and speaks its
queue/batch
dialect. Plus the panel’s Kimi K3 chip. July 18, 2026July 17: Kimi K3, the CivitAI browser grows up, panel-owned sessions
Moonshot’s Kimi K3 joins the provider roster; the CivitAI browser gains
likes, creator filters, and load-workflow-onto-canvas (zip wrappers
included); and panel-owned sessions become the default — conversations survive
workflow switches. July 17, 2026
July 16: live queue status everywhere, one-tap mobile cancel
The orchestrator broadcasts ComfyUI’s live render/queue state to every client
(powering the mobile queue monitor),
cancel_job goes mobile, and
list_local_models links models back to their CivitAI pages. July 16, 2026July 15: flatten workflows, CivitAI creator discovery, desktop-tab mirror
panel_flatten_workflow resolves Get/Set buses, Reroutes, and
use-everywhere links in place without moving a single kept node;
search_civitai_creators makes creator → models → download work end-to-end;
and the phone can mirror a desktop tab’s session. July 15, 2026July 14: the self-updating orchestrator, vision for every backend
The orchestrator updates and restarts itself when every agent is idle — a
running install never goes stale. Every Ollama-family backend and
ChatGPT-direct gains inline image delivery with an honest fallback when a
model is text-only. July 14, 2026
July 12: five new providers, A2UI chat cards, per-workflow sessions
An OAuth engine brings Grok, Kimi, GLM, ChatGPT-direct, and Copilot;
validated interactive A2UI cards render in chat; per-workflow agent sessions,
a loopback MCP console, credential slots, native CivitAI search, and official
comfy-cli integration. July 12, 2026
July 9: LM Studio & llama.cpp backends, phone pairing, gemma4 Arena results
LM Studio, llama.cpp, and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints become
first-class backends; token-gated phone pairing and the render mailbox land;
query_workflow filters big graphs; and the gemma4 fine-tune ladder posts its
Arena scores. July 9, 2026July 8: local LLMs, remote pods, and the RunPod image — 20 releases in one day
The agent goes all-LLM: an Ollama backend with a compact tool mode and our
gemma4 fine-tune ladder as the local default. Plus one-command
connect to a
remote ComfyUI over a secure wss:// bridge, a custom RunPod image, and both
ComfyUI-Manager API generations. July 8, 2026June 29: Comfy MCP parity, run-to-node, graph navigation
Five one-call generation tools close the gap with Comfy’s official cloud MCP
(plus a token-gated tunnel connector),
panel_run learns to render a single
output branch, and the panel agent gains graph outline/search/subgraph tools
plus manual-edit awareness. June 29, 2026June 27: render-wedge watchdog, color analysis, provider onboarding
A self-healing queue/render watchdog (backpressure + stall detection +
escalating cancel), a new
analyze_color tool, registry-first custom-node
installs with a hardened clone fallback, and a wave of panel polish — plus the
Krea 2 ULTRA V2 re-slice. June 27, 2026June 26: strip_workflow & slice_workflow — load any expert graph
Two new workflow tools resolve GetNode/SetNode buses + Reroutes into real
connections and un-chunk rgthree Fast-Groups-Bypass-toggled pipelines — clean,
runnable wiring without hand-tracing. June 26, 2026
June 25: Multi-provider agent — Claude + ChatGPT
The sidebar panel agent now runs on either Claude or ChatGPT/Codex at full
feature parity — pick a provider, drive your live canvas, load packs in one shot
with
panel_load_workflow, and stay cost-aware about paid API nodes via
check_workflow_runtime. June 25, 2026June 24: Krea 2 Turbo pack
Day-one ComfyUI pack for Krea 2 Turbo — Krea.ai’s new 12B open-weight
text-to-image model. 8-step turbo speed, Qwen3-VL prompting, JSON area
prompts, one-command install. June 24, 2026
June 19: v0.15.0 — streaming panel, SDK commands, one-click recovery
The Agent Panel gains live-streaming chat, SDK slash commands (
/compact,
/loop, …), and one-click /restart recovery for a wedged agent — with
pid-reuse-safe process handling. --channels is removed; the workflow converter
got tougher and more packs are render-verified. June 19, 2026June 17: v0.14.0 — the panel drives itself
The sidebar panel now runs an autonomous background agent on your Claude
subscription — no API keys, no interactive session needed. June 17, 2026
Week of June 8: v0.9.5 → v0.13.0
Eight releases: channels mode (drive ComfyUI from your own Claude session,
no API keys), the sidebar panel live on the Comfy Registry,
generate_audio,
Civitai MCP pairing, and a wave of community reliability work. June 16, 2026Week of June 1: v0.8.1 → v0.9.4
Six releases: Comfy Cloud + explicit remote mode, an embedded agent
sidebar inside ComfyUI, a new
health_check tool, slimmer default
installs, and a stack of stability fixes. June 5, 2026Week of May 25: v0.6.0 → v0.8.0
Four releases in one week: media uploads, hosted docs, model-download
hardening, custom-node authoring + verification, declarative environment
setup, server-side image conversion, and cloud storage I/O. May 29, 2026
