Default New Superuser App

Only just come across this now, think it's been in beta, anyway it's now out & looks really good, may even switch from SuperSU if no major bugs are found which there doesn't seem to be

It's by Koushik Dutta who created the excellent Carbon app, open source as well.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...utta.superuser

Direct Download - http://download.clockworkmod.com/apks/Superuser.apk

Features
* Multiuser support
* OPEN SOURCE (https://github.com/koush/Superuser)
* Pin protection
* Manifest permission support
* Per app configuration
* FREE
* Request timeout
* Logging
* Notifications
* Proper Tablet UX

Why another Superuser?
* Superuser should be open source. It's the gateway to root on your device. It must be open for independent security analysis. Obscurity (closed source) is not security.
* Superuser should be NDK buildable. No internal Android references.
* Superuser should also be AOSP buildable for those that want to embed it in their ROM.
* Superuser should also be AOSP embeddable, meaning a ROM can easily embed it into their Settings app.
* Maintenance and updates on both the market and source repositories should be timely.
* If something goes wrong, I can fix it.
* Handle multiuser (4.2+) properly
* Handle concurrent su requests properly

I guess it's a bit out of my league seeing how I never do anything more then beginner stuff with su. Open source is always cool though.
