Release
On the 9th of October 2010 Limera1n was released, delaying the release of SHAtter. Limera1n is now in Beta 2. It only supports Windows at the moment and a large number of devices have issues.

Background Information
Limera1n is a jailbreak by geohot. It is untethered on all supported devices, which include the following (but aren't necessarily limited to):
It has been demonstrated multiple times by geohot, using blog posts on his now private blog. Geohot showed off a high-res picture of Cydia on an iPhone 4. [1] He displayed an untethered jailbreak that met MuscleNerd's requirements for a good video on the iPod touch 3G: YouTube Video In addition, he demonstrated Cydia, blackra1n, and a verbose boot on an iPad (before Spirit was released): Image
Technical Information
- This does not use SHAtter.
- This uses a bootrom exploit (different than the greenpois0n one) to achieve the tethered jailbreak and unsigned code execution
- This uses a userland exploit to provide untetheredness, which geohot stole from comex.
- Chronic Dev knows about this exploit and has confirmed its legitimacy
Controversy
The timing impact of this jailbreak release will have major negative consequences on everyone, especially since this jailbreak IS patchable. If this jailbreak is released, the holes used in it might be needlessly burned, seeing as how greenpois0n is expected to be released the day before limera1n.
- Limera1n is probably only being released to pressure chronic dev into using the exploit in greenpois0n. [2] Geohot used a similar tactic to pressure the iPhone Dev Team into releasing a 2.0 jailbreak.
- The Chronic Dev Team are working extremely hard to implement geohot's limera1n exploit before the greenpois0n release date, though it will probably not use that exploit because timing is tight.
