Chainfire admitted that those permissions do seem a bit excessive, and the permission model will be reviewed after fixing the Xperia issue. Their introduction has alarmed some users, though these are used for the bug feedback screen. Starting at version 2.80, SuperSU requires new permissions. The latest release brings back stability on non-Xperia devices, but users of Sony devices are advised to stick to version 2.79. Now, SuperSU v2.82 is rolling out on Google Play Store. The first was unsuccessful but the second managed to fix some flaws. To resolve these problems, developers released two bug fix versions.

While this won't bulge some people's distrust for CCMT, we're really excited to see open source software development growing bigger and bigger every time, so suhide is a welcome addition to the FOSS family. It's not clear whether this move signifies something bigger - after all, this is actually the first SuperSU-related big news following the CCMT development takeover. If you'd like to have a read at the source code or compile it yourself, you can go to the GitHub page to read more, and check out the official XDA thread for more information on suhide. But this also means that SuperSU's new owners (and now developers), Coding Code Mobile Technology (CCMT), are totally alright with open source software, taking into account that the GitHub description explicitly says that the source code was published with CCMT's permission. This is pretty surprising, especially considering how SuperSU itself has been historically known for being closed-source software during the totality of its run. Suhide, the flashable addon which allows SuperSU users to pass the SafetyNet tamper check on Android phones, has been open sourced - meaning that the source code is now available on GitHub under the Apache License 2.0 for everyone to freely download it, modify it and compile it at will.
