If you want to manually run the changes, it will handle that fine and shouldn't cause the other side to replicate again with the automated job runs. A change to either side will result in both sides picking up the change in under 5 minutes. Automation jobs are set to run at semi-randomized times to prevent overlaps, and the hashes are now swapped at the end of a successful job. Both sides run replication jobs as a pair.

In 4.0, the architecture and installation have been simplified in that you now just install Gravity Sync on the pair of Pi-hole boxes that you want to use it.

In previous versions the directions indicated that you should select a primary and a secondary Pi-hole. With this version you will be required to reinstall Gravity Sync and start fresh. This had the effect of making me reliant on flawed or shortsighted decisions that were made two years ago, and building all new features on top of, or within, the confines of those decisions.

In the past I've always gone to great lengths to make sure that anyone who ran Gravity Sync and kept up to date using the built in updater, would not have to do much other than occasionally reapply automation jobs to take advantage of new features. I have been working on a major rewrite, version 4.0, and would like to get extra eyes on it in the form of a beta before I publish it to everyone. Greetings! Those of you who are familiar with Gravity Sync know it's a great way to keep multiple Pi-hole instances in sync.
