No Docker Specific Changes - This tag brings in the latest changes from FTL 6.2.3

What's Changed (FTL 6.2.3)

This patch release contains fixes for almost all reported bugs (most importantly, it fixes a logging regression where types are missing from pihole.log as well as a crash in filter_servers() deep down in dnsmasq code). There is one remaining issue about the behavior of server=/example.com/1.2.3.4 having changed which we are still working on with the maintainers of dnsmasq.

• Relax the session cookie from SameSite=Strict to Lax by @DL6ER in pi-hole/FTL#2471
• Run dependabot also on composite actions by @yubiuser in pi-hole/FTL#2502
• Speedup build and test by running RISCV on ARM64 by @yubiuser in pi-hole/FTL#2501
• Remove pullapprove.yml by @yubiuser in pi-hole/FTL#2499

OK, this one actually includes the RISCV binary in the RISCV image.

• Update test container to 28.2.2.-cli-alpine3.22 by @yubiuser in #1835

Full Changelog: 2025.06.0...2025.06.1

This release should fix the majority of crashing issues that were seen with FTL 6.2 an 6.2.1. There are still a couple of outliers (pi-hole/FTL#2494, and pi-hole/FTL#2496), but these only seem to be affecting bare metal installs so far. Thank you for your continuing patience
