They are just different firmware interface versions to maintain
backwards compatibility:

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k/firmware#firmware_api_versions

The actual firmware versions are strings like 'WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00288-QCARMSWPZ-1'.

If you are asking releases notes for firmware releases, unfortunately no.
