**💻📰 Pi-hole v6**
Pi-hole v6 is a new version of the popular network-wide ad blocker, released as a general release. A key improvement is the integration of a new REST API and embedded web server directly into the core software, eliminating the need for external components like lighttpd and PHP. This results in a smaller installation footprint and improved performance. The updated web interface, rewritten using embedded Lua, features server-side pagination for faster query log access.
Version 6 also introduces support for subscribed allowlists ("Antigravity"), allowing users to specify domains to be explicitly allowed, complementing the existing blocklist functionality. Configuration is simplified through a single, well-commented TOML file, consolidating settings previously spread across multiple files. Existing v5 configurations are automatically migrated.
