Martial Arts has been reworked to cast the stage of the skill you are on when you attack with that skill so if a player has two charges they will use the second charge of that skill on attack and on the third attack they will use the third and reset back to 1.

Finishers are no longer required however if you use one you will cast every stage of every charge you have generated.

Season 4 Patch 9 (2022-04-01)
This was likely the patch that implemented the temporary crafters league - the date is estimated based on this change from a patch during that league on 2022-04-04:
Rathma is now enabled in single player (was added last patch but not included in patch notes)
Other patch changes during the crafters league only applied to the league itself rather than season 4 in general, so they're listed in that category instead.
Crafters Race League - April 1st 2022 through May 6th 2022
Notes
Since D2r ladders will also be 4 months long, PD2's S5 is being delayed until about halfway through the D2r ladder (D2r ladder scheduled to begin April 28th) in order to stagger the reset dates going forward. Since it's been ~4 months from the beginning of S4 and the next season won't be for a while, this mini-league with a twist will be available to anyone itching for a reset.
Crafters Race League - will begin April 1st 10am PST, and ends April 22nd May 6th
Rare/craft-focused league without unique/set/runeword items, except unique charms (Annihilus, Hellfire Torch, Gheed's Fortune)
200% experience mode in hell mode
Only 35% rejuvenation potions will exist, no full rejuvenations
Maps will be players 5 drops
Rare items will roll a minimum number of affixes based on their ilvl (4 affixes for 45+, 5 affixes for 65+, 6 affixes for 85+)
Rare items can be used in crafting recipes
Map events will spawn much more frequently, but only treasure goblin and dark wanderer events will spawn
Akara will sell Respec Tokens
Larzuk will sell Larzuk's Puzzleboxes
Anya will sell DClone/Rathma portal items (Vision of Terror, Voidstone)
Diablo Clone and Rathma have had their resistances, health, and damage reduced
This league will temporarily replace S4 on the live realm - S4 will resume afterward with restored S4 characters. Before S5 begins, S4 characters will be transferred to non-ladder. Race league characters will not be transferred to non-ladder.

Only an infusion and the base item you want to craft with are required
Treasure Fallen roam the overworld and can spawn in any LOD zone in any difficulty with better loot in higher difficulties
Treasure Fallen run ~17% slower
Treasure Fallen loot table has been increased.

Rathma/Diablo Clone Tier 1 and Tier 2 difficulty increase has been reduced by ~50% for crafting league

70% HP: 1 Cold, 2 Fire, 1 Poison
50% HP: 1 Cold, 1 Fire, 2 Poison, 1 Physical
30% HP: 2 Cold, 2 Fire, 1 Poison, 1 Physical

Annihilus and Hellfire Torch will still drop from their respective encounters
Unique maps are disabled
Gheed event in maps is disabled
Fixes and miscellaneous
You can now .roll for specific things by typing .roll <message>. This will show:“PlayerName has rolled 1 for Ber Rune”

“It’s locked” sound effect plays if you try to change equipment while you’ve locked it
Charge was improved/fixed further

League Patch #1 (2024-02-10)
Fixed the client crash when opening the mercenary hiring page
Fixed an issue with the treasure fallen not dropping the full amount when killed too quickly
Reduced the drops slightly of treasure fallen in hell mode
Fixed a few bugs to help with server stability
League Patch #2 (2024-02-15)
Fixed an issue that prevented the 200% experience bonus in hell from applying
Increased the spawn rate of Treasure Fallen in LoD zones (about twice as likely)
Increased the chance of a map event being a treasure fallen event
This was done by replacing the chance for Gheed event and the uber key event with Treasure Fallen (so Treasure Fallen is 3x more likely than other events)
The Uber key event will no longer spawn due to the above
Increased the base chance for map events from 33% -> 66%
Increased the rune and crafting infusion drop rates on treasure fallen in Hell
Added Larzuk's Puzzlepiece as a drop from treasure fallen in Hell
Changed the jewel -> jewel fragments recipe to produce 3 jewel fragments per jewel (the 4 fragments was unintentional but it was breaking the recipe with a full cube of jewels)
Added new recipes for crafting league only to recycle crafted items:
Any crafted item + a rune from Ko -> Pul will revert the crafted item to a magic item which can be crafted again
The item level of the recycled item will be reduced by a percentage based on the rune:
Ko + Crafted item -> Magic Item with 70% item level
League Name -- Anarchy: April 12 start, open beta April 8-10, closed beta March 30 - April 7
Crafting infusions will be staying, but will be treasure fallen event exclusive item
Treasure fallen loot table changes from crafting season (i.e. can drop higher runes) will stay minus puzzle pieces, but will no longer spawn in LoD
Next Hit Always Misses bug fixed (was common with Zeal and other melee attacks if put into hit recovery, block, etc; Sacrifice self-damage and Holy Sword block would automatically cause this NHAM bug)
Melee hit checks simplified: will do an initial target range check to move character into hit range, and then the secondary range check is more lenient if monster moves after initial target
Reduced volume level of main menu music
Reworked next hit delay to be on a per missile type for caster basis -- this means you can't next hit delay yourself if you use multiple skills to do damage (i.e. Twister and Tornado don't delay each other) and applies to other player's skills in game as well; may result in nerfs for skills that relied on damage increase to cover hit delays and/or additional Monster HP increases per player in multiplayer
Necro Poison Dagger now has a spread mechanic - if a monster dies while poisoned by Dagger, it will release a cloud upon death
Necro Poison Dagger poison cloud larger
Increased maximum sprite limit in game, will no longer have graphics go invisible when too much is on screen (aka Shenk Bug)
Added commands for player statistics: .kills of various types (.kills all - all monsters killed, .kills dclone, .kills maps, etc.), .played for time played, .deaths for death count; stats also will function on PlugY for single player
Top 3 99s, DClone Tier 2, Rathma Tier 2 all get account-wide aura with a lightning effect; all other 99s and DClone/Rathma Tier 2 will get a character-bound aura without lightning (the character-bound auras will also work in singleplayer and carry over to non-ladder)
TBA changes to Dungeon Boss farming
Skills no longer have a cooldown when in town - summon QoL when starting a run
All permanent summons will carryover through games (i.e. not Ravens or Revives); Valks will reroll new armor between games; Iron Golem still undetermined on how that will function
Uber Tristram is no longer in D2GS code, now part of game -- will natively work in single player/PlugY, and can now fix bugs when seen in Tristram
Uber Tristram house cheese is gone, players and monsters can no longer go in the houses
Pally Charge now hits non-namelocked monsters; would do a ghost attack that would miss if a monster was not namelocked
Standard of Heroes now only dropped from Uber Ancients, no longer drops in Uber Tristram (leaning toward 1 guaranteed and a chance of +1 per additional Ancient defeated)
Base density of all maps increased 1.5x; reduced density from (non-corruption) affixes by the same amount --> less map rerolling because base density will be higher (higher floor, same ceiling without corruptions, higher ceiling with corruptions)
Added descriptions to map orbs for base game in case you are not running lootfilter
Can filter games by difficulty in game menu
New UI when creating a game - buttons for selecting game server instead of typing GS in description
Can only have one Iron Golem - it is no longer overridden by other golems and always has a separate minion icon/healthbar
Blood Golems will have open wounds damage per second
Druid Arctic Blast now causes monsters to "shatter" in cold AoE upon death
Reduced delay to re-enter town portals
Removing rune cost requirements for higher tiers of uber fights to improve accessibility; cubing the uber item by itself will cycle between difficulties
Work in progress: rebalancing defense values on all armors - leaning towards reduction on lighter armors, increase on heavier armors (higher strength requirements will generally mean higher defense)
Investigating making summon level auto-scale to player skill level to prevent snapshot abuse (still undecided)
Evaluating dungeon improvements - want to make more group-oriented and incentivize
