Checkra1n public beta receives first update to v0.9.1 with bug fixes
Not even 24 hours after the initial public beta release of the checkm8 exploit-based checkra1n jailbreak tool, the checkra1n team has already launched its first bug fix update dubbed v0.9.1.

Checkra1n isn’t untethered like limera1n was, but it utilizes an exploit that can’t be patched by Apple with any traditional software update, which commendably means that impacted handsets can be jailbroken for life regardless of software version.
