Overview: Comfy says ComfyUI's October quality-of-life changes include the Branch Node, which selects one of up to 32 inputs by name, and native LoRA stack nodes that accept up to 20 LoRAs.

The assets system is enabled by default in Comfy Desktop and the Windows portable build. In a manual install, users must start ComfyUI with --enable-assets.
