* fix img2img background color for transparent images option not being used ([#12633](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12633))
* attempt to resolve NaN issue with unstable VAEs in fp32 mk2 ([#12630](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12630))
* fix errors in backup/restore tab if any of config files are broken ([#12689](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12689))
* fix SD VAE switch error after model reuse ([#12685](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12685))
* fix trying to create images too large for the chosen format ([#12667](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12667))
* create Gradio temp directory if necessary ([#12717](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12717))
* prevent possible cache loss if exiting as it's being written by using an atomic operation to replace the cache with the new version
* set devices.dtype_unet correctly
* run RealESRGAN on GPU for non-CUDA devices ([#12737](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12737))
* prevent extra network buttons being obscured by description for very small card sizes ([#12745](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12745))
* fix an error that prevents VAE being reloaded after an option change if a VAE near the checkpoint exists ([#12797](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12737))
* fix notification not playing when built-in webui tab is inactive ([#12834](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12834))
* honor `--skip-install` for extension installers ([#12832](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12832))
* don't print blank stdout in extension installers ([#12833](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12832), [#12855](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12855))
* do not change quicksettings dropdown option when value returned is `None` ([#12854](https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/pull/12854))
* get progressbar to display correctly in extensions tab
* fix: previously, model name was added together with directory name to infotext and to [model_name] filename pattern; directory name is now not included
* rework quoting for infotext items that have commas in them to use JSON (should be backwards compatible except for cases where it didn't work previously)
* do not wait for Stable Diffusion model to load at startup
* add filename patterns: `[denoising]`
* directory hiding for extra networks: dirs starting with `.` will hide their cards on extra network tabs unless specifically searched for
* LoRA: for the `<...>` text in prompt, use name of LoRA that is in the metdata of the file, if present, instead of filename (both can be used to activate LoRA)
* LoRA: read infotext params from kohya-ss's extension parameters if they are present and if his extension is not active
* LoRA: fix some LoRAs not working (ones that have 3x3 convolution layer)
* LoRA: add an option to use old method of applying LoRAs (producing same results as with kohya-ss)
* add setting: Stable Diffusion/Random number generator source: makes it possible to make images generated from a given manual seed consistent across different GPUs
