The latest version of iOS leaves some doors open.
Announced with great fanfare on Monday, iOS 8 is already available in beta for developers. If for some, it is synonymous upgrade their applications, for others it is primarily a hunting vulnerability in order to release a jailbreak as soon as possible.

Stefan Esser, better known under the pseudonym i0n1c has posted three messages on Twitter more than encouraging about it Monday night. The first indicates that the first beta has "corrected nothing" and has succeeded in "dumped" the kernel (core system); the second it takes him a few hours to correct the code and make the jailbreak compatible; and the third in which he questions the compatibility of Cydia with this new firmware version.
Unfortunately, all is not as rosy as it seems seemed to indicate. Since then, the hacker continued its advanced tweeter and states that the structure of the system table and directories changed, and new protections appear to have been added to avoid getting the "root" privileges (giving free access to writing, and therefore the jailbreak).
Now it only remains to wait and see if the community gets its way, especially if the fault persist over many betas that still separate us from the public release of iOS 8.
