CacheCat v0.1.2

CacheCat now shows its version wherever you need to identify a build.

• The desktop window title includes v0.1.2.
• Release executables and archive filenames include 0.1.2, for example cachecat-0.1.2.exe inside cachecat-0.1.2-windows-x86_64.zip.
• Windows file properties include the file and product version. macOS bundle metadata and platform launchers use the same version.
• Release checks now launch the packaged application, verify its version and read the synthetic cache before creating a draft release.

This retains v0.1.1's faster batched indexing and existing GPU/CPU choices.

Extract the archive before launching. When upgrading, keep your existing portable data folder beside the new executable (beside CacheCat.app on macOS). Saved embeddings and downloaded models remain usable. SHA-256 checksums are included.

macOS bundles are ad-hoc signed, not Apple notarized. Linux requires the documented system libraries; Windows requires the Visual C++ runtime.

Only export or reuse assets where you have the necessary rights or permission, and comply with Linden Lab's terms. See Responsible use.

CacheCat v0.1.1

Faster local indexing with batched SigLIP inference.

• Process up to eight images per GPU batch or four per CPU batch. The choices remain GPU and CPU; there is no combined mode.
• Prepare embeddings from small decoded images instead of fully decoding large textures. Exports and sculpt previews still use the original resolution.
• Retry smaller batches when a device runs out of resources, and preserve successful items if an individual image fails.
• Keep search, pause and device changes responsive between image-preparation steps.

On a local 96-texture comparison, indexing improved from approximately 19 to 60–64 images/sec. Results depend on hardware and cache contents. Smaller decoded inputs and quantized batches can produce slightly different search rankings.

Download the archive for your platform and extract it before launching. Keep your existing portable data folder when upgrading; saved embeddings remain usable and the model does not need to be downloaded again. SHA-256 checksums are included.

CacheCat v0.1.0

First public release of CacheCat: a portable Second Life / Firestorm cache viewer with local semantic image search.

• Browse cached textures with sorting, adjustable tiles and a partial-download filter.
• Search by UUID or by objects, scenes, colours, shapes, patterns, materials and text using SigLIP.
• Choose GPU or CPU indexing and search completed embeddings while indexing continues.
• Export PNG or TGA, copy asset UUIDs and preview sculpt maps in 3D.
• Light, dark and system themes. On-demand thumbnails with a bounded memory cache.

Downloads

Choose Windows x64, macOS Apple silicon, macOS Intel or Linux x64 below. Extract the archive before launching. SHA256SUMS.txt contains archive checksums.

The semantic-search model downloads separately when requested (about 213 MB). Cache contents and searches stay on your computer. Keep the portable data folder when upgrading.
