For those of you that haven't already heard, there is now a
jailbreak for iOS 8.0-8.1 thanks to the infamous Pangu jailbreak team. The only caveat is that Cydia isn't installed along with the new jailbreak just yet; not to mention, it's still in Chinese and is only available on Windows at this point in time.
Thankfully though, because of the creator of Cydia himself, it is now possible to get Cydia on your jailbroken iOS 8 device right now. Saurik updated his response to the Pangu jailbreak on Reddit with information regarding the latest build of Cydia that is now iOS 8-compatible:

A lot of thanks goes out to limneos, who tested the new build for me, as I was at an airport (and now am frantically typing this message while they figure out how to retract the jetbridge from the plane I'm on that is about to take off).
Saurik notes that he has passed along the files for the Pangu team to include Cydia in a future version of the Pangu jailbreak for iOS 8, and also that for those interested in downloading Cydia manually and installing it manually, it can be done right now. You just have to head over to Saurik's
Web site to download the files you need to install via SSH.
Since Cydia Substrate is not yet ready for iOS 8, many of your jailbreak tweaks are still not ready to be installed on iOS 8, so hang tight!
