    That is my question... what is going to be different in the version, as we are just going to 8.5 RU3 and takes us forever to get to a version so 8.5 RU4 wont be for us for some time, unless we can see a benefit...

    8.5 RU4 release just went live. There will be separate announcement with the link to the final version of Release Notes later. 

    Be aware that there could be issues with the speed of downloads from the solutionsam.com at the moment, we're aware of that.

    I'm currently running on 8.5 RU2 with the "DS_8.5_POST_RU2_v1" patch set. Am I right in thinking I need to remove the patches before I update but that I can then go straight to RU4 or do I need to apply RU3 first?
    Thanks
