+Aug 25, 2024:
+Added `shift` option to `--timestep_sampling` in FLUX.1 fine-tuning and LoRA training. Shifts timesteps according to the value of `--discrete_flow_shift` (shifts the value of sigmoid of normal distribution random number). It may be good to start with a value of 3.1582 (=e^1.15) for `--discrete_flow_shift`.
+Sample command: `--timestep_sampling shift --discrete_flow_shift 3.1582 --model_prediction_type raw --guidance_scale 1.0`

 Aug 24, 2024 (update 2):
 
 __Experimental__ Added an option to split the projection layers of q/k/v/txt in the attention and apply LoRA to each of them in FLUX.1 LoRA training. Specify `"split_qkv=True"` in network_args like `--network_args "split_qkv=True"` (`train_blocks` is also available).
