1.1.3 Official Dev Jailbreak "Soft Upgrade" Drink this Kool Aid

There has been alot of events and drama in the iPhone Development community this weekend. In the interest of perspective and sanity, here is the long on the short.

Friday Jan 25th: Nate True's rouge release of a "soft upgrade" sparked much confusion, raised some ethical questions and produced a very low success rate. The end result seemed costly to his relationship with the dev community and third party users as a whole. Hopefully Nate will bounce back, his work and contributions in iPhone developer love and attention are legendary.

Sunday Jan 27th: In the wake of much ensuing panic and drama, In the early AM hours, the Dev Team releases the Official 1.1.3 "Soft Upgrade." By mid morning, after aggressive early hours of beta testing, one issue had arisen: address book sync with iTunes. Enter immediate response by NerveGas and viola! The patch is issued and the package updated. Further testing has yielded much success.

Many Thanks to planetbeing, NerveGas, ghost_000, dinopio, bgm, MuscleNerd, core and the iPhone -Elite and iphone/iTouch Dev teams.
