Changelog

ComfyUI Charts v0.2.1 (January 2026)

� What's New

We've made an important change to how ComfyUI deploys in the cloud. In short, reinstallations now pull the latest version of all components instead of using cached images. While this means installations take a bit longer, it ensures you're always running the most up-to-date, stable, and secure environment.

💡 Pro tip: Kick off a reinstall during your coffee break or lunch—it takes about 20-30 minutes and you'll be good to go.

🎯 Version Info

ComfyUI Charts cloud configuration: v0.2.0 → v0.2.1

✨ What Changed

🔧 Deployment Mechanism Improvements

To ensure consistency and stability across all installations, we've changed how images are handled:

  • No more caching: We're moving away from locally cached images
  • Always fresh: Every installation downloads the latest versions of:
  • 🖥️ Operating system base environment
  • 🐍 Python runtime
  • ⚡ ComfyUI core application
  • 🧠 PyTorch deep learning framework
  • 🚀 CUDA acceleration libraries

This approach eliminates compatibility issues caused by outdated caches, ensuring every installation is "fresh out of the oven" with the latest components.

⏱️ Installation Time

Since we're downloading fresh components, installations will take a bit longer than before:

  • How long: Approximately 20-30 minutes (depending on your network speed)
  • When to install: Best during lunch breaks, after hours, or anytime you don't need immediate access
  • Quick tip: Start the installation and grab a coffee—it'll be ready when you get back

📦 Core Version Upgrade

  • v0.9.1 (old cached version) → v0.10.0 (new fresh install)
  • Tested deployment time: approximately 20 minutes
  • New version includes latest upstream features and security patches

🎁 Why This Update Matters

Yes, installations take longer now, but here's what you gain:

✅ Version consistency: Everyone runs the same latest version—no more "works on my machine" issues
✅ Improved stability: Eliminates weird bugs caused by stale caches, reducing troubleshooting time
✅ Security updates: Get security patches and vulnerability fixes promptly
✅ Latest features: Access new ComfyUI features and performance improvements right away

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I have to reinstall right now?
A: Not required. Your existing environment continues to work. The new mechanism kicks in automatically on your next reinstallation.

Q: Will this affect my workflows and models?
A: Nope. This only updates system libraries and frameworks. Your custom nodes, workflows, and models remain untouched.

Q: Why not keep caching as an option?
A: To simplify maintenance and prevent version chaos. Having everyone on the latest version benefits the entire community.
