I haven't posted here the news for some time now. So, a while ago (almost 3 months) version 2.1 came out and after 8 days version 2.1 r1080. Also this past few months, a new cIOS "flavor" appeared named cIOSX rev21d2x as it is a modification of cIOSX rev21. The latest version out there of this cIOSX is v6 which just came out. For more info about it check the official tread (link has also been added at the links page).

All these can now be found at the updated-with-new-files downloads page ;) Also you can read the changelogs that follow for more info about what is new.
