Earlier today we told you that the Dev-Team have updated RedSn0w to version 0.9.9b6. RedSn0w was updated to version 0.9.9b6 to fix various bugs when jailbreaking iOS 5. While a majority of these bugs were mostly specific to users jailbreaking their iPhone 3GS (running the 06.15.00 baseband), the Dev-Team notes RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 provides both functional and cosmetic fixes for jailbreaking the iOS 5 firmware.
Note #1: We recommend jailbreaking iOS 5 with RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 even if you are already jailbroken on iOS 5. If you are going to re-jailbreak your iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS with RedSn0w 0.9.9b6, just ensure you uncheck the install Cydia option.
Note #2: RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 does not allow you to create custom IPSW files for preserving your baseband. This feature is coming soon.
Note #3: RedSn0w 0.9.9b6 is a tethered jailbreak and does not support jailbreaking the iPhone 4S.
