Full Release Notes
This **patch** release fixes a number of bugs.
> Check out the [v6.0.0 release notes](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/tag/v6.0.0) if you haven't already! It's a big one.
## Changes
- Fix an issue that could result in images getting stuck as placeholders.
- Fix an issue where you could drag a panel tab and end up with stacked panels.
- Fix an issue w/ certain languages hard-crashing the UI.
- Render the staging area in a virtualized list to prevent slowdowns when many images are staged.
- Alter the request frequency and prefetching logic for gallery to reduce network requests during scrolling, but keep the same UX.
- Clearer error message when model probing fails.
- Do not attempt to download models when there isn't enough disk space for them.
- Potential fix for rare UI state persistence issues.
- Introduce global, thread-safe locking for all DB operations. We hope that this will fix these errors:
- ```
sqlite3.InterfaceError: bad parameter or other API misuse
```
- ```
pydantic_core._pydantic_core.ValidationError: 1 validation error for GraphExecutionState
JSON input should be string, bytes or bytearray [type=json_type, input_value=None, input_type=NoneType]

## Installing and Updating
**The Invoke Launcher is the recommended way to install, update and run Invoke**. It takes care of a lot of details for you - like installing the right version of python - and runs Invoke as a desktop application.
Note: With recent updates to `torch`, users on older GPUs (20xx and 10xx series) will likely run into issues with installing/updating. We are still evaluating how we can support older GPUs, but in the meantime users have found success manually downgrading `torch`. Head over to [discord](https://discord.gg/ZmtBAhwWhy) if you need help.
Follow the [Quick Start guide](https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/installation/quick_start/) to get started with the launcher.
If you don't want to use the launcher, or need a headless install, you can follow the [manual install guide](https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/installation/manual/).
