I’m very pleased and excited to be able to finally announce publicly that development of Cache Out X has been taken over by Christopher Thompson of TriLateral Systems.

Christopher has already hit the ground running with a new public beta which fixes some outstanding Tiger and Leopard related issues in the software. In addition to that, he’s taken over full hosting of all released versions for OS X versions 10.2 through 10.4 and beyond. You can consider him the goto guy for all things Cache Out X now.

So with this official passing of the torch, I would like to extend a huge thanks to Christopher for being the guy to step in and keep the dev fire burning, to Xavier Moulia for taking the COX torch from me and adding the AppleScript Studio overlay, logo and much more, to Jim Mitchell for picking up where Xavier left off and making it even better and more user friendly, and to all the users who’ve been so supportive along the way.

Join me in wishing Christopher all the best as he breathes new life into Cache Out X.

In the June 2007 issue of Mac | Life, Cache Out X (COX) received an honorable mention as a ‘shareware pick’ for getting rid of caches, cleaning up hidden files, and more. Though COX is donationware, it’s free to use, free to keep, and well, just plain free. Though if you’d like to make a donation (always welcome!) to its current parent, Jim Mitchell, author of the astounding YASU, you’ll receive lots of good karma and help reduce global warming! Ok, it won’t reduce global warming, but the good karma is true. At least that’s the general consensus of many scientists across the globe. Wait, that’s global warming again! Sorry!Now if you’re wondering why NoName Scriptware is hyping COX, some may remember that it began and germinated here before Jim Mitchell kindly adopted my lonely baby, added cool stuff, great features, stability, tested and made available three versions for the last three releases of OS X (download here!), and is quite honestly a very nice guy, family man, friend, and father.
