Networking
This release has fixes for networking, particularly as it relates to IPv6. A side effect is that this should resolve an issue where the webGUI will not load in certain instances.
Note: If you have code in your 'go' script to disable IPv6, remove that and disable it via the 'Settings/Network Settings' page instead. Manually disabling IPv6 will cause conflicts.
Docker
This release resolves an issue where Docker does not properly stop when the array Stops, which can result in an unclean shutdown.
If Docker containers have issues starting after a while, and you are running Plex, go to your Plex Docker container settings, switch to advanced view, and add this to the Extra Params: --no-healthcheck

All the docker issues have me really worried about touching the 6.12.* updates, since most of my infrastructure is in containers.
Will probably wait for a couple more minor releases before updating
yep, a lot has gone into release 6.12, i am going to give it 1 month since the last release then go for it, i might then give it a further 6 months and then switch filesystem for my cache drive to zfs.
Are there significant advantages to switching to zfs?
A good question, that really depends on how you use ZFS, if you are creating single disk zpools then the advantages over XFS are limited to compression and snapshots (i think), if you are using ZFS in a more traditional sense of multiple drives then things get more interesting and you can use the whole range of features included in ZFS - disclaimer i have extremely limited knowledge of ZFS so i am being vague on purpose, check out Spaceinvader One's videos on the subject for much better understanding.
