***There is a new Firmware Version 4.04 as of 10/6/20 and you can read our article about it here: https://survivethegig.com/x32-firmware-version-4-04-current-version/ ***
Firmware Version 4.02 was a minor version upgrade from 4.01. It was released in January 2020 and is mostly minor improvements and bug fixes. I have included the firmware updates to version 4.01 and 4.00 so you can see all of the changes that have happened since version 4.00 was released. Firmware 4.01 and 4.00 especially had more significant improvements than the current version 4.02, so if you are upgrading from an earlier firmware you will want to check those updates out and they are included below. Most notable are a significant GUI update and fully customizable User Input and Output Routing Blocks. At the end of this article there is a link to an article showing how to update the firmware.
See below for release notes from Behringer. I have bolded the ones I found most interesting/useful.

X32 Firmware Version 4.01
Behringer X32 Mac Usb Driver
Firmware Version 4.01 was a minor version upgrade from 4.00. It was released in December 2019 and is mostly minor improvements and bug fixes. They are the kind of improvements that will make things a little easier but will probably be forgotten. Being able to copy the Dual FX engines from A to B and B to A is a useful feature and will save time, but is the kind of feature that will leave you wondering why it took so long and wasn’t included from the beginning. This is one feature upgrade that may seem small but will be appreciated by everyone that has been using the console for all these years. This is the kind of thing that most of us were trying to figure out assuming it was there and frustrated to discover it was missing. If you haven’t used the console before try to imagine eq’ing a graphic eq on a monitor and wanting to copy that to the B channel. You would need to switch back and forth and recreate the eq on the B channel. I did this by switching to GEQ on faders mode and swapping between the A and B channels with the Layer Up and Layer Down buttons with my right hand while matching faders with the left hand.

X32 Firmware Version 4.00
Firmware Version 4.00 was a major version upgrade from 3.xx. It was released in November 2019 and made some significant changes to the console. It is encouraging to see Behringer continue with firmware updates, especially on such an old product. There was a major GUI re-design that makes everything easier to see and read and a major functionality upgrade that addresses what was probably the biggest complaint of X32 users: bank of eight routing.
