Вышел привязанный джейлбрейк Apple TV 2 iOS 5.1

Команда FireCore сообщила, что им удалось сделать привязанный джейлбрейк Apple TV 2 с последней прошивкой iOS 5.1 (нумеруется как 5.0). Привязанный джейлбрейк означает то, что пользователям придется подключать Apple TV к Mac/PC каждый раз при включении питания. С учетом того, что перезагружать Apple TV нет необходимости - это не проблема.

Одновременно с джейлбрейком вышла новая версия aTV Flash (black) 1.4.1.

What's new in the 5.0 AppleTV software? Should I update?

• New interface: - Fast, visual access to all content choices
• Movie purchases in iCloud: Support for buying movies on Apple TV and playing back purchased movies from iCloud
• Genius Recommendations: Recommendations for content on the iTunes Store based on previous rentals and purchases
• Screensaver photos: New National Geographic photos built-in for screensaver
• On-device sign-up: On-device sign up for content partners on Apple TV using your Apple ID

Updating to the new 5.0 software is not required, and all aTV Flash (black) features will continue to be supported on AppleTV versions 4.2 and later.
