Version 0.9.10b7 of redsn0w for Mac and Windows is now out with a bunch of new features, the iPhone Dev Team has announced. The next version is already on the table with built-in restore support.

The updated jailbreak tool implements the corona-A5 untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 devices running iOS 5.0.1. The tool can further re-install a jailbreak for users who accidentally uninstalled the untether, and it can now grab SHSH blobs directly from Cydia when stitching an IPSW.

The interface has been updated to show more info about the user’s device, such as whether it has the vulnerable baseband boot loader (for iPhone 3G owners), or whether your it has the old exploitable bootrom.

The Dev-Team is already planning a future update to include built-in restore support, to provide an alternative to iTunes restores.
