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.

Everybody here says it but I must thank you too. This realease really solved my "problem" with specific blocking because of new groups option. Now I can easilly associate extra regex domain for specific group (that's the difference between new and default group - not much but that's exactly what I need) so when I'm in "working mode" I can use that domain (it's associated only for default group) but right when I'm after work I can switch my device to default group (which has that specific regex extra) and I can see that those things are blocked now (and I don't have to add or remove that regex again and agin like before). Really nice and working feature!

And that local DNS records ... again thank you!

I already support this amazing project as a monthly patron.

The developers, including the staff, again invested a lot of work, time and research to offer us a new release with useful extensions and many improvements.

The whole Pi-hole team did and does great work, also with support here in the board.

Guys, you rock! My $100 donation is on its way to you.

I see that there is now a "Local DNS Records" page.
Previously, I had setup local DNS entries using a config file in /etc/dnsmasq.d.
Is using the Local DNS Records page now the better way to do things?

Better is entirely subjective. :wink: The new feature makes it easier to manage these from the web GUI
