As the version number states, this is a minor update from previous 5.1.* releases. 5.1.0 had major changes compared to 5.0.*, just as the 4.1.0 you are referring to has compared to 4.0.*

Interestingly, the video at the heise security announcement shows the VERY SAME web page provided in the MobileRead post.

So, did heise security actually HIRE MobileRead member mmatej, or was he already an employee of heise security when he made that web page, or is heise security claiming credit for somebody else's work (plagiarism)? Hmm...

So, WHO built that web jailbreak webpage then?
