Dear Philipp,

Thank you for your detailed feedback and guidance on the patch versioning and change history.
I appreciate your guidance.

I will implement these improvements in the next version (v5):

1. Use consistent patch versioning
2. Include a complete change history
3. Maintain a consistent subject line

I'll submit the revised v5 patch soon, incorporating these changes.

Thanks again for your support.

Best regards,
Manjae Cho
