Great job, devs! Not only did I have a smooth update from the previous release to the current one, but the new verbose gravity update output informed me that a lot of my blocklists were broken even though they were retrievable. Others had invalid domains. I deleted both broken link blocklists (replacing them with their new locations) and also blocklists with invalid entries (I'd rather not have bugs resulting from those.)

Took a while, but got it all done. Again, great job :slight_smile:

Thank you! Been testing it and it works fine. Only issues I got with the filtering by client is, as my network has IPv6 and the clients got changing ULAs I really can’t do it. Maybe there is a way by defining clients by MAC address or something??
Good job though

Thanks to all that contributed for your hard work!

This has to be one of the smoothest major updates I have ever experienced - for any product. Perfectly seamless and only took a few minutes. Many thanks and kudos to the Pi-Hole team!

Thank you to all the developers of Pi-Hole v5.0 :sunglasses:

I know what I will be doing next weekend : Updating to version 5.0 ofcourse! LOL! :grin:

Will my pi zero still hold up to the new version, performance wise?

Probably will work even better actually.

Upgraded from 5.0 beta on Asus Tinkerboard (running dietpi) and RPI Zero-W (raspbian).
No problems at all, thanks!

Thanks everyone for this update. I swap between two pi-hole instances (PI and a container on my Synolgoy). I did the Pi update and started to point selected hardware towards it and it's working great. can't wait to take advantage of the per client configuration.
