They say ‘no news is good news’ but the truth is ‘no news’ is torture, so it’s time for a progress update.
Seas0nPass for Windows
The first beta version of Seas0nPass for Windows has gone out to those who signed up for the Seas0nPass beta earlier this week. Barring any major setbacks, or show-stopping bugs we’re hoping to have a public version available next week.
GreenPois0n and the untethered jailbreak
Contrary to some reports, the recently release RC5 version of the GreenPois0n jailbreak tool (from the Chronic Dev Team) does not yet support the AppleTV. Fortunately the latest word is that the upcoming RC6 version will include support for an untethered jailbreak of the AppleTV. Once this new version is released the untethered jailbreak will also be available in an updated version of Seas0nPass. Choice is always good. :-)
Big thanks to the guys at Chronic dev for all their hard work!
Update: GP RC6 is out. Go grab it here.
