I am also seeing that 2024Q3 has a f4 patch.
I'm not sure, but from a discussion I had elsewhere on here, f4 basically seems to simply be a cleaned up f3 version. f3 seemed to be simply a cumulation of f1, f2 and f3 fixes into a package without consolidation of the various fixes into a new one. f4 was basically repackaging that all into a single new package avoiding redundancies from the three separate patches.
That all said, the release documentation really got bad in recent times. Release notes don't seem to be created anymore or if they are they are not available anymore from the according download pages. Bug fix documentation always has seemed a bit arbitrary and moved repeatedly between spotty at best and simply non-existent. This all makes software releases look amateurish. I can somehow understand that an Alliance Member or other 3rd party partner drops the buck when releasing a new version of their software. But from a professional supplier like NI, it seems justified to expect more!

Seems there are about 4k reasons why the documentation should be professional.
