Please tag a new release: TSS client version and new tags exist only in git #9
Description
The last release, 1.0.5, is from 2025-06-04. Six commits landed since then.
Three of them change what the library sends to Apple:
| Date | Commit |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-06 | tss: Add Bora and Durant tags |
| 2026-09-06 | tss: Restrict Yonkers selection to SysTopPatch |
| 2025-09-22 | tss: Update client version and add Ap,Timestamp |
Why this matters
AUTH_VERSION is the client version that goes to the signing server. Release
1.0.5 still carries the value from before 2025-09-22. A signing client that
reports an old version is fragile, because the server side can change at any
time without a matching change here.
The Bora and Durant tags are needed for the newest devices. Without them
a TSS request for those devices is incomplete.
Suggested version number
1.0.6. The public interface does not change, so a patch bump fits, which is
also what 1.0.1 through 1.0.5 did for comparable changes.
Context
libimobiledevice/idevicerestore#805 proposes a 2.0.0 release of
idevicerestore. It has to declare a minimum version for libtatsu, and
1.0.5 is the newest value available today.

Correction to the number I suggested above: it should be 1.1.0, not 1.0.6.
I compared the public header afterwards.
tss.hgainstss_request_add_bora_tags()andtss_request_add_durant_tags(), so the interface grows and a patch release would understate that. PR #10 prepares 1.1.0 with the matching soversion change.anonymous-gj66 commentedon Oct 10, 2026
Confirming the impact of the Yonkers fix: with the 1.0.5 release (as shipped
by Fedora 44), every iOS 27.0/27.0.1 restore of an iPhone14,8 failed with
restore_get_yonkers_firmware_data: using Yonkers,SepObject
TSS server returned: STATUS=168&MESSAGE=An internal error occurred.
Building idevicerestore against libtatsu master selects Yonkers,SysTopPatch9,
receives the Yonkers ticket and the restore proceeds. A tagged release would
let distributions pick this up.
