Kindle 2 Changelogs -- official & unofficial - Page 3

3.0.3 early preview seems to be out @Amazon.

Looking around to see what changed right now...

First, the bad news:

* It plugs the (previous) jailbreak exploit.
* It'll disable usbnetwork (just the symlink). I'll update usbnetwork right now to handle that without having to reinstall the hack after the update.

Then, the actual content:

* Kernel, wifi driver, usb driver & eink controller driver updates
* Framework updates
* Browser updates
* Wifi settings handling updates

EDIT: Never really checked since when, but, indeed, it's not an RT PREEMPT kernel anymore... (Or at least not like the usual default RT_PREEMPT config of the -rt patchset). Like I said the first time, not a surprise, it's pretty unforgiving of crappy hardware drivers/software...

So .. should we update if we haven't any problem with 3.0.2 ?

That's for you to decide

I'm confused. the thread title says Kindle 2, but the firmware version says 3.0.3... Anyway, does this mean that with 3.0.3 it is no longer possible to jailbreak the K3 with the latest available jailbreak?

@charonme: Another jailbreak was released after that, and I forgot to edit this message
