Three things the unified Settings window was still missing next to v4's own, all found by looking at it next to v4 rather than in isolation: - The sidebar is a 52px icon rail now, expanding to a full list on hover/focus and overlaying the content instead of a splitPane's permanently-docked two-pane shape -- v4's own sidebar, not an approximation of it. Fixing this surfaced two real CSS bugs along the way: filterList's own min-width:220px silently defeated the collapse (clipping the search box to "Sear" instead of showing an icon), and .cx-filter-list's unset overflow-x (computed to auto once overflow-y was set) put a horizontal scrollbar under it. Centering the icon in the collapsed row needed the label's flex-basis AND the row's own gap to both go to zero -- an invisible label still claims its share of both otherwise, and the icon renders off-centre. - The modal now has a real height (v4's own 660px) rather than sizing to whichever section is showing, so switching between a short section (About) and a long one (Node packs) doesn't visibly resize the whole window. That exposed a THIRD latent bug: .cx-modal-body never had flex:1 1 auto, invisible until a modal had a real height to fill -- every prior modal shrink-wrapped its content, so head+body+foot always summed to exactly the card's height by accident. Fixed at the shared rule, not just for Settings. - About now shows what v4's does: commit and dirty state, a codename when the checkout has one, and the machine's real hardware/software facts (chip, memory, GPU or MPS, disk, OS, ComfyUI/Python/Torch/ attention-backend versions, hostname) -- a new core/sysinfo.py (ported from v4's own, individually guarded so a missing probe never takes the panel down) behind a new GET /funpack/api/system, injected into settings_window.js the same way every other network call here is. Also: a nav row's tone (the coloured icon chip) is now validated against its closed set the same way button.js already validates its own tone -- an unknown one used to render silently wrong instead of failing loudly.
ComfyUI-FunPack v5 — "Cunning Cranberry"
FunPack v4.0.0 is going to be the latest release of classic FunPack. Next update is another milestone update, or shall I say, a full rework.
Maintenance of current FunPack became a mess — forgetting to add or remove buttons from/to UI, finding functions that don't do anything but still present in the code absolutely randomly, trying to keep the UI neat while it has no strict boundaries on how it should look like, and of course — making it easy for users to understand how FunPack operates and how you can operate it — this is all time, money and token-consuming.
General idea behind the FunPack v5 rework is writing it from scratch, with a new architecture where a feature can't be forgotten, where a wire can't be missed, where one failing module never stops whole process from executing. Loaders and features would tell the UI by themselves what sorts of inputs they need and where to put it — and UI will compose them according to design guidelines it would have. Samplers would become independent from features — if a feature is available and enabled, sampler would call it. If it's not — it gets skipped and doesn't even appear in the UI so it won't confuse you.
Most of this comes from a FunUI backend draft that got shelved after understanding on how much time has to be invested into polishing it. Without a community support and wide usage it would become another dead project only one person in the world needs but no one else.
Come to think of it, FunPack already became something alike, with an exception — this project is more than alive, and while I can, I will support it.
Final goal is to make FunPack an ultimate answer for a novice's question "I don't know how to generate — what do I install and how do I start?" and for a professional's question "I need a UI with all the cutting edge techniques available on day 0 — which one?"
Preparation for the v5 had started.
FunPack v5.0 "Cunning Cranberry" — coming fall 2026.
This branch is a clean start. Classic FunPack lives on main.
