Saurik Releases WinterBoard 0.9.3917 on Cydia with Fixes and Updates for iOS 8

Well known jailbreak tweak developer and a member of iPhone Dev Team, Jay Freeman aka saurik, has updated his WinterBoard software to the latest version.

Saurik confirmed the availability of WinterBoard v0.9.3916, with updates for iOS 7 and iOS 8, via Twitter. According to the release note, the 0.9.3916 update, which works on all iOS and through 8.1, brings the following changes.

"Version 0.9.3916 has been updated to support some new features of iOS 7 and 8 thanks to help from Surenix, thekirbylover, alexzielenski, coolstar, Matchstic, and JunesiPhone.

To enable, disable, or change the order of themes, see the WinterBoard panel in the Settings app: there is no standalone app as of version 0.9.3916.

Wallpaper (whether png, html, or any of the other crazy formats that I should never have added to WinterBoard) is not currently supported on iOS 7/8."

Soon after the release of the 0.9.3916 version, Saurik issued another update, 0.9.3917, to WinterBoard which fixes all the issues reported in the previous version.

WinterBoard 0.9.3917 fixes all issues users reported with 0.9.3916 (except one, which might not be due to WinterBoard; still investigating).
