For my third puzzle on logic-masters, this is the very first sudoku I ever set. Enjoy! :)
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Knight's move: Cells separated by a knight's move (in chess) cannot contain the same digit.
Kropki dots: Cells separated by a black dot contain digits with a ratio of 1:2. Cells separated by a white dot contain consecutive digits. Not all possible digits are given.
Magic Square: The grey cells in box 6 form a magic square, in which all rows/columns/diagonals sum to the same total.
Thermo: Digits along thermometers increase from the bulb end.
The puzzle:
Solution code: column 1 (top to bottom)

That didn't feel like it was someone's first puzzle, it felt well polished and smooth, with all sorts of neat antiknight tricks strewn about. Well done!

This was a great mental exercise. I enjoyed it very, very much. Anti-knight is my favorite non-standard constraint. You set a wonderful puzzle. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Great puzzle with quite a funny difficulty: Very easy break-in, a lot harder in the middle, then very easy again towards the end.
