iFile, the most powerful management tweak for jailbroken iOS devices just received a major update bringing a lot of new features and improvements. If you’ve got a jailbroken iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, then you most probably have this app already installed.

This Cydia tweak is pretty much a requirement for any user who wants to get deep in to the root of their device and have access to all the files. iFile 1.7.0-1 brings many new changes such as a completely rebuilt local and remote file handling system, a better FTP client, AirBlue support and plenty others. The update seems to have also fixed certain issues on iOS 5.1 and iOS 5.1.1. The Dropbox integration has also received some updates to make it work better.

Here’s the full changelog for iFile 1.7.0-1:
