Link: Pangu Releases Jailbreak for iOS 8.1

But you shouldn’t install it yet

The Pangu team has released the first iOS 8 jailbreak: Pangu8 is here, and supports every version of iOS 8 up to the latest 8.1 release.

There’s a catch, though: the Cydia store isn’t included or supported at this time. That means while you may be able to jailbreak today, you can’t actually do much with your jailbroken device. No emulators, no themes, no awesome tweaks. Basically, this is a developer release for now.

The good news is, Saurik is hard at work on a version of Cydia for iOS 8. We probably won’t have long to wait until a full Cydia-compatible iOS 8 jailbreak is available for everyone.

Personally, I’m not particularly happy about this release. MFi game controllers are still horribly broken in iOS 8.1, and this isn’t likely to be fixed until Apple ships a new version of iOS 8. Now that Pangu has released their jailbreak into the wild, no doubt Apple will patch whatever exploit this jailbreak takes advantage of. That means when 8.2 rolls around, we’ll have to choose between jailbreaking and using bluetooth MFi game controllers without constant disconnects. In this instance, it would have been nice if Pangu waited a little longer to release this jailbreak into the wild.
