Have the ability to have multiple host records with the ‘pihole -a hostrecord’ command and the ability to list all the host records that you have made for example ‘pihole -a -l’ would list all the host records that the user has created.

Beta 5.0 may already have this feature - Custom DNS records.
Does Pi-hole beta 5.0 still use AdminLTE? If so I will update. BTW I think that Pi-hole is a great project!

It has both an admin GUI and an FTL module (same as the current master 4.x).
Ok, that’s great. I will update Pi-hole right now!

It's not quite a matter of updating. You have to transfer to the beta 5.0 branch. See instructions in the release announcement:

Once Pi-hole beta 5.0 becomes a stable release will it automatically update me to the stable release?

Yes. Once Pi-hole 5.0 is the new master, pihole -up will update to this.
Thanks, you may now close this topic.
