Release notes appear to be identical to 8.3-rc-3, with the exception of the "3" -> "4" change. How do we know what was discovered in rc-3 that is addressed in rc-4?

thank you, we'll look into it

The release notes represent the final release, so they won't show a delta against the previous RC. You can find what was fixed in RC4 on GitHub: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/milestone/249?closed=1
