Uptime Kuma has released version 1.23.3, bringing several bug fixes and security enhancements. This update includes important changes that users need to be aware of.

First and foremost, due to the security fix in this version, all login sessions will be logged out after updating. This is a necessary measure to ensure the security of the system. Users will need to log in again with their credentials to access the platform.

It is worth noting that if you are using any unofficial or third-party tools with Uptime Kuma, there is a possibility of breaking changes with this update. In such cases, it may be necessary to re-generate an authentication token to ensure seamless integration with these tools.

Now let’s take a closer look at the bug fixes included in this release:

• Fixed an issue where notifications were not working if the configuration was too long. This bug has been resolved thanks to the contribution of @FJBlok.
• Enabled the status page certificate expiry badge for all HTTP(s) monitors. This improvement was made possible by the work of @marvinruder.
• Addressed Kafka producer bugs, ensuring smoother operation of this feature. This fix was made possible by the contributions of @mhkarimi1383.
• Fixed an issue with the incorrect usage of x-forwarded-host. This bug has been resolved thanks to the efforts of @xuexb.
• Resolved a race condition issue in the status page editor, ensuring that all data is saved correctly. This fix was made possible by the contribution of @chakflying.

In addition to these bug fixes, version 1.23.3 also includes security enhancements. One of the notable security fixes is the resolution of a persistent session tokens issue. Previously, there was no way to revoke session tokens even if the password was changed. With this update, users can now revoke session tokens by changing their password. For more information on this security fix, you can refer to the advisory GHSA-g9v2-wqcj-j99g.

Pi-Hole, the popular network-wide ad blocker, is rolling out its latest version, V6.0, and is inviting users to participate in beta testing and troubleshooting. The Pi-hole team is looking for brave users who are comfortable with digging into any issues that may arise. The beta version introduces several fundamental changes, and it is important to note that updating from Pi-hole 5.x to 6.0 is a one-way operation.

Some of the new features and improvements in Pi-hole V6.0 include:

• A new REST API and webserver directly embedded into the pihole-FTL binary, eliminating the need for lighttpd and php dependencies. This change reduces the installation size of Pi-hole.
• Subscribed allowlists, known as Antigravity, which allow users to whitelist specific domains while still blocking entries in subscribed blocklists.
• Consolidated settings files, with all settings now contained in a single file located at /etc/pihole/pihole.toml. The file is well-commented, making it easier for users to understand and modify settings.
• Server-side pagination of the query log, improving the performance of the query log page by loading results one page at a time.
• Redesigned settings menu in the web interface, categorized into Basic, Advanced, and Expert levels, with different settings available based on the selected mode.
• Built-in HTTPS support in FTL, allowing users to use their own certificates or generate a self-signed certificate.
• Docker image now based on Alpine, reducing the image size and potentially enabling support for more systems in the future.

The Pi-hole team emphasizes that the beta version is not yet stable for a full release. They are actively working on improving stability and addressing issues as they arise. Users who are interested in participating in the beta testing can visit the Pi-hole Discourse Forum to discuss the beta and report any findings. Contributions and suggestions for improvements are also welcome.

To try out the beta version, users can either install it as a fresh installation or switch to the v6 branches. Detailed instructions are provided for both bare metal and Docker installations.

Pi-hole V6.0 does not have a specific release date yet, but the team is working on it in their free time, aiming to release it when it’s stable and ready for production use.
