Highlights

  • Polished management interface with scalable artwork, responsive layouts, and light/dark theme improvements.
  • Expanded the Settings timezone selector to all available IANA time zones.
  • Improved policy consistency, authentication security, admin responsiveness, and operational diagnostics.

Fixes and improvements

  • Serialize policy rebuilds and use consistent database snapshots while keeping policy reads lock-free.
  • Make list creation/replacement atomic and invalidate refresh caches when source settings or content change.
  • Correct mixed DNS requests so non-ignored questions still receive policy evaluation.
  • Preserve secure session-cookie settings, add bounded login rate limiting, and keep newly generated API keys out of redirect URLs.
  • Reject insecure bootstrap credentials on fresh installations and strengthen request/upload validation.
  • Validate blocklist download destinations at connection time, including redirects; private sources require the BLOCKLIST_PRIVATE_HOSTS allowlist.
  • Move blocking admin work into a bounded worker pool, cache/coalesce statistics queries, and refresh query-log rows without full-page rendering.
  • Improve logging failure handling, shutdown draining, statistics refresh reliability, and refresher error reporting.
  • Add readiness checks and authenticated runtime diagnostics.

Upgrade notes

  • Fresh installations must supply non-example bootstrap credentials. Existing database credentials retain precedence.
  • Private/local blocklist sources must be explicitly allowlisted.
  • The experimental automatic-update feature was reverted and is not included in this release.

Validation

  • 155 local tests passed; 7 environment-dependent tests skipped.
  • Python compilation, JavaScript syntax, and whitespace checks passed.
  • GitHub CI passed for the release commit.
