Cydia 1.1 for iPhone and iPad Just Released – “Faster, Slimmer, and More Stable”
Earlier today, Jay Freeman, also known as saurik, released a new version of Cydia, the other iOS app store. The update, dubbed 1.1, brings a slew of bug fixes, and most importantly, brings a better experience to Cydia users, thanks to major changes made within the app, and Cydia’s back-end.
According to saurik, Cydia is now faster, slimmer and more stable than ever. It also offers a more efficient search engine, and the service now allows users to resume where they left off – a long-awaited feature that was missing from Cydia since its launch three years ago.
Other improvements include:
- The ability to run and operate Activator, libstatusbar, and SimulatedKeyEvents while Cydia is running
- An overall speed improvement, including the “Loading Changes” dialog
- “Much less” memory usage
- A more advanced search mechanism with a new relevancy algorithm
- Better management of broken repositories
