Moments after we published a story about the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release receiving its eleventh revision, hacker Pwn20wnd publicly released unc0ver v.2.1.0, officially bringing it out of its “pre-release” stages.
This is arguably one of the most significant updates to the unc0ver jailbreak tool to date, and Pwn20wnd made the official announcement via Twitter just minutes ago as of this writing:
Hot off the heels of three Cydia Substrate updates released by Saurik throughout the night, the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release received two new revisions on Monday. These are the tenth and eleventh revisions to this particular pre-release version since Pwn20wnd released it for public testing more than two weeks ago.
Citing the changelog published on Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub repository, the two new unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release revisions encompass the changes outlined below:
Pwn20wnd initially launched the pre-release of unc0ver v2.1.0 for public testing almost a week ago, and as it would seem, the hacker has been somewhat busy refining the tool ahead of the upcoming official public launch.
Citing Pwn20wnd’s official GitHub repository, the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release has seen revisions on at least three separate occasions since our original story, with the latest change taking place just yesterday.
Pwn20wnd has been rather busy these last few weeks updating unc0ver with bug fixes and new features, but much like a machine, the hacker continues to polish the iOS 11-centric jailbreak tool with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Over the weekend, Pwn20wnd shared via Twitter the unc0ver v2.1.0 pre-release for public testing, further refining the jailbreak experience with improvements and bug fixes:
A third-party audit has found absolutely no evidence of Chinese spy chips being secretly embedded on server motherboards manufactured by Super Micro, poking another hole in Bloomberg's bombastic, highly questionable Big Hack story which it refuses to retract.
Pwn20wnd dropped the first pre-release of unc0ver v2.0.2 at the end of last week with significant improvements to revoke prevention, jailbreak speed enhancements, and bug fixes. After a couple of updated bundled resources were released over the weekend, it now seems that this particular version is ready for the masses.
We first learned about the unc0ver v2.0.2 public release in a Tweet shared by Pwn20wnd Sunday morning:
Hacker Pwn20wnd began the pre-release train at the end of November with unc0ver v2.0.0, but public testing quickly died down after a few iterations helped squash bugs. Consequently, unc0ver v2.0.1 was released mere days ago to bring the tool out of its ‘pre-release’ stages.
As of Thursday, however, Pwn20wnd launched another unc0ver pre-release for public testing; this time with the version number 2.0.2. Pwn20wnd made an official announcement about the new pre-release this afternoon via his Twitter account:
iOS hacker Pwn20wnd published the first unc0ver v2.0.0 pre-release on Friday, and there’ve been at least three separate updates to it since that time. But now that most of the bugs appear to be ironed out, the hacker has moved forward with an official public release.
On Monday, Pwn20wnd announced the public debut of unc0ver v2.0.1 via Twitter. Unlike the v2.0.0 pre-release, this version is officially out of beta testing and should be stable enough for the general public to deploy on compatible devices running iOS 11.0-11.4 beta 3:
It was only a few days ago that Pwn20wnd pushed the first unc0ver v2.0.0 pre-release for public testing, and the hacker has already issued three separate revisions with a bevy of new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
The latest of said updates was issued Sunday morning. Citing a Tweet shared by Pwn20wnd moments later, it fixes a rather annoying bug known to impact the trust cache injection:
Just a few days ago, iOS hacker Pwn20wnd launched a pre-release version of unc0ver v2.0.0 to the public with preliminary support for Cydia Substrate, several useful new features, and a blanket of bug fixes and performance improvements. The next day, he pushed a revamped version of the pre-release to the public with more bug fixes; but it now seems he wasn’t finished yet.
On Saturday, Pwn20wnd announced via Twitter that he had dropped yet another new version of the unc0ver v2.0.0 pre-release with even more bug fixes:
Just yesterday, iOS hacker Pwn20wnd dropped a pre-release version of unc0ver v2.0.0 with preliminary support for Cydia Substrate, a bevy of new features, and a long list of bug fixes and improvements. But he also noted that he would update the pre-release again if bugs were reported.
Pwn20wnd made good on his promise Friday afternoon after he shared an updated version of the unc0ver v2.0.0 pre-release via his Twitter account. As suspected, the new pre-release fixes bugs that were reported in the initial pre-release during the last 24 hours:
It’s been a little while since we’ve seen any updates for the unc0ver jailbreak tool; the latest update to be released was version 1.1.4, more than three weeks ago. But despite what appeared to be a sudden halt in rapid update releases, it appears that iOS hacker Pwn20wnd has indeed been hard at work on another update for the iOS 11-centric jailbreak tool.
The public beta of unc0ver v2.0.0 has announced by Pwn20wnd via his Twitter account on Thursday, signaling what some might consider to be a major update for the jailbreak and many of its internal mechanisms:
