Pi-hole FTL v5.17, Web v5.14 and Core v5.12 released

This update broke my pihole web interface.
Upgrade went fine - no errors reported, but parts of the web interface would throw errors and not load.

A look through the logs found

My raspberry pi was running PHP 7.0

I upgraded to PHP 7.3 by doing an apt-install for the 7.3 version of all installed 7.0 packages

sudo apt install php7.3-cgi php7.3-cli php7.3-common php7.3-intl php7.3-json php7.3-opcache php7.3-readline php7.3-sqlite3 php7.3-xml

One reboot later - and it's all working again.

Did I miss a dependency requirement for something newer than PHP7.0 in the current (or previous) release notes
