  • Fix black screen when jailbreaking with tweaks enabled
Beta 3 13 January, 2018
  • Unlock all NVRAM variables (including setting boot-nonce) [thanks stek29]
  • Add support for binaries with SHA1 hashes (so existing dylibs work fine, but executables will need the entitlement) [thanks stek29]

  • Hopefully fix the app icon not displaying on iPhones
  • Significantly speed up the rejailbreak process
Beta 3-2 14 January, 2018
  • Don't unlock NVRAM variables due to the patch crashing some devices.
Beta 3-3 14 January, 2018
  • Fix the NVRAM patching crashing due to the memory page being unmapped (thanks Siguza)
Beta 4 14 January, 2018
  • Disable NVRAM patching as it still appears to be unstable
  • Make amfid patch more reliable so that more dylibs can be run properly
  • Add a "shim" so existing substrate tweaks can use libsubstitute without modifications
Beta 4-2 14 January, 2018
  • Fix a symlink that would prevent some substrate extensions from working with libsubstitute
