What changed, product by product.

Violet nodes

Solar Violet Nodes 1.0.0 is public (see its own section). The expanded Violet nodes, nine packs with 150 nodes, are coming soon.

Hot swap and nine packs dev 10 Oct 2026

• Swap now covers muted and bypassed nodes and keeps their state, unpacks subgraphs that hide nodes, and wires the new node in after a swap.
• Hot swap lists every node that can be swapped with a checkbox on each, and Hot swap all swaps the lot in one undo.
• Group bypass and group mute nodes from other packs become the Violet group bypass, matched by group title.
• Nine packs, 150 nodes. Every pack loads alone, all of them load together, and the bulk pack loads next to them without errors.
• An opt-in Violinet account link reports launches and feature use (counts only, never prompts or file paths) and keeps a local usage file. Off until you sign in.

Swap dev 9 Oct 2026

• Reads older Violet packs without loading them, converts old nodes when a workflow opens, and wires empty inputs on its own (after a swap, on request, or on open).
• A legacy map builder lists which old node became which Violet node.

109 nodes in one pack 1.4.0 9 Oct 2026

• The 66 nodes of 1.3.0 plus the 43 restored from the first pack, added only where no newer node has the id.
• Violet Load Image crops on import (automatic borders or a drawn box), resizes, and has a Crop & resize window.
• The VioletComfy OS hub ships inside the pack.

Seven packs, rebuilt as one set 1.3.0 8 Oct 2026

• Core, Krea edit and control, Klein, upscalers, API, tensors and Prompter, each installable on its own.
• Violet Tensors: loaders and info for the Violet file types and Violet file names.
• Old node names keep loading and run the Violet node they point to.

VioletComfy OS

The hub runs inside ComfyUI. The desktop app is in development; the release is coming soon.

Desktop app and startup switches dev 9 Oct 2026

• Every ComfyUI startup option is a switch, read from each install's own cli_args.
