Today’s release is mainly to get some much needed changes to FTL out into the wild, including an update of the internal dnsmasq version, however we have a few bug fixes for the core and web components, too.

For core, some improvements have been made to the unsupported OS detection – which should hopefully stop a few common issues we have seen since 5.1 was released.

For those of you using PADD, this release of FTL should fix the issue you have been seeing with the status of FTL.

As always, please read through the changelog before updating with pihole -up. If you have any issues with the web interface after updating, clear your browser cache to see if that resolves it before reporting a bug!

More details below:

Changelog

FTL v5.2:

  • Update dnsmasq version to v2.82 #848

  • Improve TCP worker handling #845
    • Fixes some issues with strangely behaving clients

Crazy!!!! Awesome. Everything went well. Maybe. Yes, it did. Thank you!

UPDATE Something broke badly, my WiFi microwave oven does strange things now and the kids are complaining, too. One of the SmartTVs doesn't work. Stand by ... trying to check if Pi-hole broke something badly. Or if this is self-inflicted pain.

UPDATE More things are going crazy. Never invest into a smart home, it will bite you. Roller shutters are out of control right now. Looks like self-inflicted pain.

UPDATE New Windows 10 computer took over the smarthome. Changed password, problem solved. Note to myself: Better password than 11223344 is a necessity. Otherwise, bad things may happen.

Frequenties are not that far apart:

It is an Internet-of-Things microwave oven. It's not using WiFi to cook things. I got it for free from the Dutch telecom (it was a study), as I was participating in a project "early smart home equipment" (translated). It cannot do much, there is a web interface where you can check how much time remains until it is done, what the power level is, etc. Nothing dangerous. However, you can also reset the oven from the interface. Which is acknowledged by a beep. This beep was going crazy.
