Saurik tweeted that all users jailbroken on iOS 5.0.1 should install the update. UPDATE: This doesn’t apply to “old bootrom” iPhone 3GS users.
@planetbeing put a lot of work into solving iBooks image loading bugs. All users (however jailbroken) on 5.0.1 should install.
So, most of the feedback I have received from “all users (however jailbroken) running 5.0.1” has been “even me? I did X.”: yes, even you. ;P
You can find the Corona package in the System section of Cydia.
The iPhone Dev-Team has released RedSn0w 0.9.10b5 which includes another fix for iBooks DRM by planetbeing.
As always, you can simply run the new redns0w over your current jailbreak, just make sure to uncheck Cydia. To fix iBooks and launchctl errors you can also simply install .

Saurik has announced that an update to the Corona Untethered Jailbreak has been released in Cydia.
The update fixes issues for iBooks and launchd and it’s recommended that users who previously jailbroke their A4 devices install the Corona package from Cydia.
Corona (5.0.1 untether) 1.0-4 is now out: users of redsn0w or the older packages should install. This fixes both iBooks and launchd (again).
As many users don’t realize that untethers only affects boot, I just released 1.0-5 of the Corona package, which forces a reboot on upgrade.

The ‘‘ of iPhone hackers has made more progress on the A5 jailbreak with planetbeing just announcing that they’re out of Apple’s sandbox.
And we’re out of the sandbox with @saurik’s invaluable help! (well, at least there’s a PoC) 😀 Turning out more complex than X-Gold 618.
pod2g also mentioned progress in twitter:
@planetbeing escaped from the sandbox with the help of @saurik. Thanks to their awesome work, there should be nothing left blocking for the A5 jailbreak. Now it should be a matter of days. Still no precise ETA of course.
