- Rename old "model_management" directory to "model_management_OLD" in order to catch
dangling references to original model manager.
- Caught and fixed most dangling references (still checking)
- Rename lora, textual_inversion and model_patcher modules
- Introduce a RawModel base class to simplfy the Union returned by the
model loaders.
- Tidy up the model manager 2-related tests. Add useful fixtures, and
a finalizer to the queue and installer fixtures that will stop the
services and release threads.
- Replace legacy model manager service with the v2 manager.
- Update invocations to use new load interface.
- Fixed many but not all type checking errors in the invocations. Most
were unrelated to model manager
- Updated routes. All the new routes live under the route tag
`model_manager_v2`. To avoid confusion with the old routes,
they have the URL prefix `/api/v2/models`. The old routes
have been de-registered.
- Added a pytest for the loader.
- Updated documentation in contributing/MODEL_MANAGER.md
- Implement new model loader and modify invocations and embeddings
- Finish implementation loaders for all models currently supported by
InvokeAI.
- Move lora, textual_inversion, and model patching support into
backend/embeddings.
- Restore support for model cache statistics collection (a little ugly,
needs work).
- Fixed up invocations that load and patch models.
- Move seamless and silencewarnings utils into better location
