Is there any article on new features for people that will migrate from 5.0 to 6.0? What I'm trying to say: there were new features in 5.2, 5.4 and to know all features of 6.0 we possible need to watch what was new in 5.2, 5.4 and then 6.0.
Is there summary article on all new features that was released/added since 5.0 and to 6.0?

Hello, please advice (possible would be cool if it could be fixed out of the box or please create video how to do it properly): after upgrade from 5.0 to 6.0 new templates don't show up and we need to manually go to Github page, and download them manually. Which is PITA. Is there any way to add new "Official" (by developers) step during Zabbix migration/upgrade, if there is no template or webhook/media type with same name --> just import new templates. It won't break anything, and will make lives of engineers easier. Why do you need to keep it hard to get new templates after upgrade?

Is there any video how to do import templates properly after upgrade? It's PITA, because we need to understand which templates was added/changed using some bash magic, and in case of new templates we just import them, but what happens if already existing in 5.0 template was improved in 6.0. How to update/upload new version of Template to take advantage of new features? How to do it properly and not to lose previous data?

Thanks.

Will Zabbix have a way to universally monitor for Timesync? i.e. drift etc.

I've setup and used Zabbix several years ago. My needs are simple. One Zabbix VM watches the few VMs on another box, and that box has a Zabbix VM that watches the VMs on this box. I don't want to manage the complexities of a 747 when what I need is a 150. Should I be looking at 5.4 or can 6.0 be made simple and have a better update path?
