- RocketBootstrap from the Odyssey repo will now work correctly on Chimera
- Exploit selector on iOS 12.2 & 12.4 now works correctly (to allow switching between sockpuppet and life_waste)
|
| 1.6.0
|
25 December 2020
|
- Officially verified to work on iOS 12.5 (Chimera 1.5.1 already worked on 12.5)
- Backports more of Odyssey's changes to Chimera
- the platform-application entitlement is now no longer required for binaries to run
- skip-library-validation entitlement is now no longer required for libraries to load into binaries
- improves efficiency and reliability of Chimera
- Note: These backported changes were adapted to use kexec [pac bypass], as such Chimera still only supports A12 devices up to iOS 12.1.2
- Fixes potential app black screen issue during the jailbreak process
- Fixes reliability issues with injecting into launchd during the jailbreak process
- Fixes potential post-jailbreak kernel panics on 4K devices (A7/A8) improving reliability of the jailbreak
- jailbreakd plist has been moved to improve compatibility with odysseyra1n (jailbreakd no longer runs or crashes when booted with odysseyra1n)
- Fixes memory leak and slow performance if jailbreakd is restarted
- Experimental support for full userspace reboot
- To test userspace reboot you can run launchctl reboot userspace
- Userspace reboot should complete in about 15 seconds
- Userspace reboot works about 50% of the time (hence the jailbreak itself is still using ldrestart as it's more reliable)
