iOS 8.1.1 is out...
Here's keeping my fingers crossed that they will find a jailbreak for that one, too.
With the incentive that Pangu has, they've probably found exploits already. But as for actually releasing it, that would depend on bugs present on 8.1.1. But it's been announced weeks ago that 8.1.1 patches the Pangu exploits, so those that didn't make the jump once the window closes have it out for themselves.

Hello there willerz2
How are you ...? Quick question for you, ?
Now that Apple's new latest 8.1 is patiently waiting with the constant annoying red badge app glaring at me as to suggest update me now ,
Before I do was wondering if I jailbreak in 8.1 can I expect the same
In performance As jail b. 7. . And if pangu has worked out for jail b.
For 8.0 and I've went to 8.1 will there be any real problems there

Personally, if I had the option to go back to iOS 7, I would considering iOS 7 is completely ironed out. Third party keyboards via the AppStore are far from usable for me, so there isn't an incentive for me to actually use iOS 8 aside from the fact that my devices are on iOS 8, so I would say stay with iOS 7.
In terms of stability, iOS 8 is fairly ironed out. There needs to be a patch released to resolve the wifi issue that some users are experiencing on 8.1 by patch developers, but that should come shortly. Your setup on iOS 7 may or may not translate to iOS 8, but you can check for compatibility in Cydia for the package's changelogs, or if you want to sift through them faster, you can check them out here by entering the package name and see if it's been updated recently for support.
At the moment, it's still possible to revert to iOS 8.1, if the iPad is up to date.

@Mickey330 Marilyn, here's a slightly more descriptive iOS 8 compatibility list, great for users that have the MS Excel app where they can cache/save the spreadsheet for referencing as well. Viewers on browsers may receive a intermediate page stating that you're being redirected to another page outside of iPadForum's control, and will display the link to the page. Feel free to scan the link for those that do so with unknown links, but in short, it opens up to Excel Live Online, or if you have the MS Excel app, I believe it opens directly (or asks if you want to open it) in the MS Excel app if applicable.
Users on Tapatalk may or may not have issues with opening the link, again, depending on whether you have the Excel app. I don't currently have a device to test out whether it opens in the Excel app or not, but with the recent changes to Excel it should.

Update: GiantSpeck also made a Google Docs version, I'll include that below and reiterate the Excel link

iOS 8.1 is still being signed on all devices that support it. Download the IPSW, DFU the iPad, Shift/Command Click the Restore button on iTunes.
