Pi-hole FTL v6.2.3 Released

We have now released FTL v6.2.3.

This patch release contains fixes for almost all reported bugs (most importantly, it fixes a logging regression where types are missing from pihole.log as well as a crash in filter_servers() deep down in dnsmasq code).

Note:

If you had switched to FTL v6.1 or a different branch following the previous posts, you may now switch back the released version pihole checkout ftl master should get you to v6.2.3.

There is one remaining known issue about the behavior of server=/example.com/1.2.3.4 having changed which we are still working on with the maintainers of dnsmasq.
