Forensic Evidence 0.3.6

Forensic Evidence 0.3.6 includes the desktop evidence viewer and separate MCP server.

Changes since 0.3.5:

• HEIC and camera RAW previews and picture indexing, with larger hover previews and image metadata.
• Paste pictures or documents into the AI search box and refer to them in scene, object, or document-content queries.
• Persistent literal text search and continued evidence browsing during indexing and AI searches.
• Separate picture-description model setting, defaulting to qwen3-vl:2b-instruct, and four concurrent picture requests. Existing saved model choices are retained.
• Bounded image preparation, duplicate reuse, optional request timing diagnostics, and picture-model benchmarks.
• Improved structured Gemma search requests to avoid affected Ollama draft-model runner crashes.
• Optional SigLIP 2 categories and visual search through a separately deployed service; disabled by default, with controls hidden when disabled.
• Per-file AI and text indexing status, plus recreation of a deleted case database so evidence can be reprocessed.
• Optional OvisOCR2 integration for picture and document text extraction; model weights and configuration are installed separately.

Download desktop for the graphical viewer or mcp for the Model Context Protocol server. Extract the complete archive and verify its SHA-256 checksum. Packages include .NET, evidence readers, license notices, and a file-hash inventory in BUILD-INFO.json.

Windows x64 requires Windows 10 or later. Windows ARM64 requires Windows 11 and x64 subprocess emulation; the ARM64 packages are cross-builds without runtime testing on ARM64 hardware. macOS ARM64 requires macOS 14 or later and is ad-hoc signed, not notarized. Linux x64 uses the Ubuntu 22.04/glibc 2.35 baseline. Linux ARM64 and macOS x64 packages are not included.

Ollama and model weights are installed separately, locally or on a remote server. Default AI setup uses nomic-embed-text, gemma4:12b, and qwen3-vl:2b-instruct. Ollama's OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL setting controls server-side inference separately from the desktop's request concurrency.

Public binary downloads exclude application source and private obfuscation maps. Dependency corresponding sources and rebuild materials are distributed separately. Each package records its source revision and validation status.
