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:``

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:

> Wi-Fi (/ˈwaɪfaɪ/)\[a\] is a family of wireless network protocols based on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards, which are commonly used for local area networking of devices and Internet access, allowing nearby digital devices to exchange data by radio waves. These are the most widely used computer networks, used globally in home and small office networks to link devices and to provide Internet access with wireless routers and wireless access points in public places such as coffee shops, restaura...

> A microwave oven passes microwave radiation at a frequency near 2.45 GHz (12 cm) through food, causing dielectric heating primarily by absorption of the energy in water. Microwave ovens became common kitchen appliances in Western countries in the late 1970s, following the development of less expensive cavity magnetrons. Water in the liquid state possesses many molecular interactions that broaden the absorption peak. In the vapor phase, isolated water molecules absorb at around 22 GHz, almost ten ...

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.
