✨ Highlights

• Scoop has implemented SQLite for caching app information, which accelerates local searches and the installation of older app versions. Enable this feature by using the command scoop config use_sqlite_cache true.
• The cache names for Scoop apps are derived from the first 7 bytes of the SHA256 hash of the download URL, which helps to shorten the file names.
