A little note after we get a lot of emails from people asking when the applications (and especially screenshot) will be 1.1.3. ready. At the moment there are two ways to update to 1.1.3., the DevTeam’s soft upgrade method and Nate’s patch. If you upgraded using Nate True’s excellent patch most applications should work fine but it breaks Nikita and makes all applications run as root (just as before). Those who upgraded using the (misnamed) Official 1.1.3. update experience many problems, this update breaks with a lot of the applications available and has an important security issue with the ssh password being unchangeable.

The current situation is that Nate’s patch is no longer available in the installer. We understand this decision as it is expected that the Apple SDK will not allow applications to run as root and it’s better to have everybody update in the same way but would have preferred to leave this decision to the user. However, we have just updated an iPhone to 1.1.3. (thanks Yosh) using the softupdate method to make the applications work and now experience the same problems as many of you mailed us. Hopefully we can soon release updates that work with all updated iPhones.

We are looking forward to deliver you the applications build with the official Apple SDK!
