In reply to Bastian Marten. Yeah, same happened to me later today. Turns out Rpetrich broke libactivator (chpwn's words - not mine). So he's working on fixing it up. To be expected , since it is a beta. If you'd like to fix the problem and go back to an earlier verison, just remove the Boolean magic repo from your Cydia Source, uninstall Libactivator (which also uninstalls Overboard/proswitcher), respring, and then re-install the apps. I can no longer swipe from the bottom of the screen to summon overboard, but I'm sure he'll have a fix up soon enough.

I just updated Pro Switcher on my iPhone 3G but can't find the new activation settings (shaking the phone for example).

In reply to Thomas. There are plans for other apps to start using them, yes. BigBoss is working on it for SBSettings.

Do you guys happen to know if other Cydia apps are (have started) using libactivator for their apps?

I am especially interested in SBSettings to have these activation methods. I would shake my iPhone very often 😉

though I will also add that the github comments are a bit harder to understand than the normal "here you are, users" descriptions we see on Cydia or other app changelogs.

Excellent info, thanks sysrage! I had been googling around for a source like this before the article, and I'd even tried looking on the various links within Cydia, and now here it is 😀

Although I agree a changelog in Cydia would be nice, this is one of the rare cases where I know the developer is constantly working hard at things and he DOES have the changes (at least for ProSwitcher and LibActivator) listed somewhere. You can see what he's doing with ProSwitcher and LibActivator on GitHub:
