The Chinese TaiG team has released an untethered iOS 8.3 jailbreak and released the download for Windows users, surprising many at its release early this morning. As of now, the team has noted Cydia Substrate is not compatible with iOS 8.3 but Saurik is working on updating it:
Since Cydia Substrate is not compatible of iOS 8.3, please wait patiently for @saurik to update it.

This is the team’s third release of a jailbreak tool and they announced on their site “Thanks for Apple for the greatest product of this era. Thanks for all the jailbreak developers to make the world even better.”
This jailbreak release also received the blessing of MuscleNerd:

THANK YOU!
Let us know how it works out for you! Personally I’d wait a day or two to jailbreak as the first release always has bugs and such.
Wooo!
Apple driver is not found, please reinstall iTune when I start the JB tool…
You need this itunes version if you are stuck at this point:

8.4 will be released on Jun 30, so we have 5 days to update to 8.3 (now that we know a jailbreak exists). Cydia isn’t working, so it’s a useless jailbreak at present, but I’m fairly sure that Saurik will make the necessary changes.
Hopefully Apple won’t close the hole, and the 8.3 JB will be transferable.
