Hello,  
Just read the topic "Issue with Pi-hole -up" that beta v6 will be merged into the main branches.  
Will we get a message here in the Beat v6 forum or the merges have happened or?  
I like so thanks for all your great work!  
It has been a super experience to be a small part of the Beta v6 forum and for being part of the Beta v6 team.  
Steen

Two days ago we merged the `development-v6` branches in the `development` branches. When everything is set and fixed the last bugs, we will merge `development` into `master` branch. As this **is** the release of Pi-hole v6, you can be sure we will announce it on every channel 🙂

Actually the announcement was:  
`development-v6` was merged into `development`, not the main branch.

`v6` is still in development.

That is correct my bad when writing.  
So should we do the "pihole checkout dev" now or wait?

The previous `development-v6` branches won't receive new updates. These branches are now merged into `development`.

If you want to keep testing and receiving new Pi-hole v6 updates, you need to run `pihole checkout dev`.
