Originally published at: [Pi-hole FTL v6.2.3 Released – Pi-hole](https://pi-hole.net/blog/2025/06/12/pi-hole-ftl-v6-2-3-released/)

We have now released FTL v6.2.3.

This patch release contains fixes for almost all reported bugs (most importantly, it fixes a logging regression where types are missing from `pihole.log` as well as a crash in `filter_servers()` deep down in `dnsmasq` code).

> ##### **Note:**
> 
> If you had switched to FTL v6.1 or a different branch following the previous posts, you may now switch back the released version `pihole checkout ftl master` should get you to v6.2.3.

There is one remaining known issue about the behavior of `server=/example.com/1.2.3.4` having changed which we are still working on with the maintainers of `dnsmasq`.
