Originally published at: Pi-hole Core/Web v5.2.2 and FTL v5.3.4 released! – Pi-hole
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….
No shiny new features for you this time, but fixes for bugs identified since the last version, and a few tweaks here and there. Full details below.
As ever, before running pihole -up to update, make sure you’ve read over the release notes to ensure there’s nothing that would stop you from upgrading. Pi-hole docker containers will be updated in due course… (before anyone asks “Where’s the Docker update??”)
