UPDATE: It works on iOS 7.1.2 as well!

Today a team of Chinese hackers have released an untethered jailbreak of iOS 7.1.1. The utility is called Pangu.

Currently a jailbreak utility is only available for Windows users.

The team credits famous hacker i0n1c, who  introduced the infoleak bug during his training. By the way i0n1c has said, “if pangu team releases a public jailbreak with vulnerabilities disclosed to them during my training I consider this in no way okay.”

We have tried Pangu and confirm that the utility does in fact jailbreaks your device. Beware that there might be security risks, Chineese hackers are known for embedding trojans and spyware into utilities.

Update:
iH8Sn0w confirms that there is no spyware:

Aside from the piracy store and enterprise certificate… The http://pangu.io jailbreak does not have “spyware” or malicious trails.

You can download Pangu 1.0 for Windows from here. Our famous step-by-step instructions are available here.

Piracy Warning:
There is a checkbox in the utility. If you leave it checked, a piracy app store will be installed. If you do not support piracy, uncheck the box before attempting a jailbreak.

Pangu works on all devices with iOS 7.1-7.1.1.

The Evad3rs have released fixes for the those experiencing problems with the Weather app or long reboots after performing the Evasi0n jailbreak.

The fixes can be applied easily by updating the evasi0n 6.x untether and uikittools packages in Cydia, reports planetbeing:

Fixes for the long reboot issue and Weather app issue are now available on Cydia with an update to the untether and uikittools.

Update:

It looks like AppSync, tweak for app piracy causes the Weather App to fail. Planetbeing Reports:

People are reporting uninstalling AppSync AND rebooting are solving their issues.

Try having AppSync uninstalled and deleting com.apple.mobile.installation.plist, com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore and rebooting

MuscleNerd adds:

AppSync didn’t cause weather app problem, but it prevents today’s fix from working. Also likely breaks iCloud apps. Piracy has costs.

If you are having issues even after updating these packages it appears that App Sync may be cause. Users who have uninstalled AppSync and rebooted are reporting success.

Pinch Media has shared some data they presented at 360iDev on the state of app piracy on the iPhone, and there are a few key take-aways:

• These analytics show roughly 4 million jailbreak devices, 38% of which are using pirated app(s) (aka cracked apps).
• Piracy is highest in China, Russia, and Brazil, with Europe and Canada being the mid-ground, and the USA, Great Britain, and Japan having the lowest rates.
• Of paid apps that use Pinch Media’s services, 60% have been pirated.
• Of those pirated apps, 34% of all installs are the pirated version.
• Like legitimate app downloads, pirated apps are used a lot at first, but drop off quickly (more quickly than legitimate app usage, in fact).
• Pirated apps on jailbroken iPhones crash more, which may be why they’re used less.
• Those who claim to use pirated apps as a way to “try before they buy” are full of it. While 7.4% of legitimate “Lite” app downloads up-convert to the paid version, only 0.43% of pirated apps lead to purchase of the legitimate paid version.
