If your jailbreak depends on the Sileo package manager for installing jailbreak tweaks and extensions, then today might be a good idea to launch the app and refresh your sources.
According to a Tweet shared just this evening by the official Sileo Team Twitter account, Sileo version 2.1 is now available for all existing users to download and install.
Sunday’s Sileo update appears to bring with it a lengthy list of changes including new features, bug fixes, and improvements.
As noted in the official change log for Sileo version 2.1, this release incorporates the following changes:
