So - first I retired the old state of the union thread. It's still relevant, but only as for the general details of Volume III. But now there's more:
- Volume III has been updated to v1.3 (q.v. http://NewOSXBook.com/ChangeLog.html), which is updated to 10.2. I know I basically said I've had enough of updating after 10.1.1 and mach_portal, but two things happened - one is Beer's PoC, and the other is Luca's Yalu - And both of them are in open source. This gives an unprecedented ability to not just consider the open source of the exploits, but also see two different approaches for the same bug. So I added some 12 pages including annotations on the sources, which should help people not only understand the jailbreaks, but also customize them for their own devices (which, arguably, with Luca's you don't need, but for Beer you do). I also managed to squash what I hope are the last of the typos.
- Now, seriously, I am d-o-n-e with Volume 3 (assuming iOS 11 doesn't bring something major) which means I can finally announce the COLOR EDITION!!!!!
- This will be HARDCOVER *AND* COLOR, which looks #$%$#%$#%#$ AWESOME and certainly helps readability. But - and there's a but - it's terribly expensive. Book printing costs for that are through the roof and it's heavier, which means it will be A) $125 for the book and B) (likely) $25 for shipping. And it will not be available via AMZN (which clobbers me with fees), but only through here. And when I say "here", I mean the forum. Not moxii3@. It's a privilege of sorts I want to give to people who actually check in from time to time, which is why I'm not tweeting about it.
- If you are interested in Volume 3, let me know if you would consider an open binder/spiral cover, which would enable you to add pages. It's a thought, and certainly makes the book look less snazzy, but given the updates, could make it a whole lot more useful.
- As for Volume I, since people are starting to ask

- And yeah, I know I'm taking long on this, but please bear with me. From feedback I'm getting, people agree with me it's worth the wait to be meticulous, thorough, leave no stone unturned, and ensure this trilogy will remain definitive and relevant so I never EVER have to do a third edition.
That's all for now. Comments more than welcome.
