I see Qantas FF T&Cs changed as of yesterday.


Any idea what's changed?
This as far as I know:

14.9.5 If a Member fails to board a Flight Segment (no show) of an itinerary containing only Classic Flight Reward Flight Segments, then the no show segment will be forfeited and the remaining Segments (if any) will be cancelled. Any cancelled Segments will only be reinstated if Classic Flight Reward seats are available. If any Segments are reinstated, the Reinstatement Fee will apply (see the Fee Schedule). In addition, the Qantas Points required for the entire Itinerary including no show, travelled and reinstated Segments will be recalculated and any additional Qantas Points required will be deducted from the Member's account.
 
Here are all the changes between the 22 July version and the 31 October version.

Section 14.3.9 renumbered to 14.9.5, slight rewording, and removal of the Jetstar footnote

Old

14.3.9 If a Member fails to board a Flight Segment of an itinerary containing only Classic Flight Reward Flight Segments, the remaining Segments will be cancelled. The cancelled Segments will only be reinstated if Classic Flight Reward seats are available. If any Segments are reinstated, the Reinstatement Fee will apply (see the Fee Schedule). In addition, the Qantas Points required for the entire Itinerary including both travelled and reinstated Segments will be recalculated and any additional Qantas Points required will be deducted from the Member's account.
Note: If a Member fails to board a Flight Segment of a Classic Flight Reward on a flight operated by a Jetstar Airline, the Flight Segment will be considered used and cannot be reinstated. Any recalculation of the Qantas Points for the Itinerary will include that Segment as travelled.

16.2 & 16.3 Update to the international flight number range

Old

16.2 Classic Upgrade Rewards - for travel only within Australia (on flights QF400 and above and travel on domestic legs of flights QF1-199)
16.3 Classic Upgrade Rewards - for international travel (on flights QF1-199)


New

16.2 Classic Upgrade Rewards - for travel only within Australia (on flights QF400 and above and travel on domestic legs of flights QF1-299)
16.3 Classic Upgrade Rewards - for international travel (on flights QF1-299)

17.2 & 17.3 Addition of the word membership to 1.2, updates to international flight number range for 17.3

Old

17.2 On Departure Upgrade Rewards may be requested by Members who have access to Qantas Club lounges and only at domestic Australian Qantas Club lounges. They are not available from airport lounges operated by third parties or from QantasLink lounges. Qantas Club Members can also request an On Departure Upgrade Reward at domestic Check-in-Kiosks, where available, when travelling by themselves.

17.3 On Departure Upgrade Rewards may be requested only for a one-cabin class upgrade from Discount Economy, Economy or Flexible Economy to Business class and Classic Flight Reward Economy to Business class, on Qantas Australian domestic services (QF400 and above). On Departure Upgrade Rewards are not available on the domestic legs of Qantas operated international services (QF1-199).

More changes today. Can anyone tell what's changed?
Small changes around classic fligh reward timing, probably prompted by the recent mobile app update.

You can request up to 10h before departure (was 24) and qantas can process than whenever they want up to departure.
