Another day another update. The SuperSU updates brings a few fixes to yesterday's release, while the FlashFire update brings (only) N Preview compatibility.
Notes on SuperSU
This update must be flashed through TWRP or CF-Auto-Root (see XDA thread linked below). If you extract the APK from the ZIP, install that, and update binaries, you will not get all the fixes.
Encryption
Some users noticed that flashing the previous version of SuperSU started re-encrypting the device if it was unencrypted. This has been fixed.
Remounting /system read/write
There have been some issues with this. This update alleviates the issue somewhat, but the fix will not work for all root apps. I will dedicate a post to the details after I'm done writing this post. EDIT: https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/dGPQytapwe3
Log daemon and permissive mode
While this is something I would wholeheartedly advise against, I know some of you like to call "setenforce 0" and switch SELinux to permissive mode. If you've tried this on N Preview, you'll notice that it reboots your device into safe mode.
Normally the device would stay in safe mode because of this until a data wipe or new OTA install, but SuperSU automatically clears the flag for you on the next boot, so you don't get stuck.
Anyway, the trick to get "setenforce 0" to work is to call "stop logd" first.
Temporarily disabling root
Some users have been having issues with the Enable superuser option in SuperSU settings, which is used to temporarily disable root. I have rewritten the code behind this (for system-less roots only), let me know if it still gives you issues.
Notes on FlashFire
All this update really brings is compatibility with N Preview, but it already requires SuperSU v2.70 for this. So if you are already on N, you cannot use this version FlashFire to update SuperSU from v2.69 to v2.70.
However, you can use this version of FlashFire to flash N Preview itself to a currently Marshmallow device, and in the process root it with v2.70.

+Chainfire thanks for doing everything that you do!
Hey Chainfire, can you search for a root for Motorola Moto X Play(XT1562) without openning bootloader ? Please, I need this :(
So much awesome.
Thanks CF!

Fricken genius
This guy is pirating your work if you care/can do anything +Chainfire
I reported his post. No one deserves to have their work stolen
+Jose Martinez I reported him too
My download not working
+brian watkins ikr, no one deserves to have their work stolen, especially one of the gods of the dev community! Like what was this twat thinking pirating chainfire's work!
With CF the rooting Community would be in some serious trouble. What a joke dude is
Thank you very much now is possible to update binary directly from application. Meizu pro 5
What a guy, eh. Freaking legend.
So if I use the latest Flashfire on Android N it will automatically push the newest SuperSU in? Is that correct?
YOU ROCK !!
So. Just thought I'd post this here incase anyone has a stubborn Angler like I do. Even with CFAR 2.70 my device finally made it past the animation and spelled ANDROID but the screen went black and stayed that way. After rebooting to TWRP 3.0.0, and noticing while flashing the RC SuperSu 2.70 zip, the script was aborting at the end. So while still in TWRP, I loaded the stock N boot.img, flashed it in TWRP, followed by +Chainfire RC SuperSu where the script succeeded without aborting. Then flashed Kylo Kernel R4 4.9 by +Despair Dev. Rebooted and all is well. Apps such as root explorer, Layers manager etc need to be updated for N. But Rom Tool Box Pro works as a root browser/reboot recovery app, and kernel auditor works. Thanks a ton for all your hard work sir!
+Jeremy Blackwell You'll need minimal adb and fastboot installed to flash the TWRP 3.0.0 image you'll download from their website. Or try Chainfires FlsshFire
