Say what is BB4+? I tried a search for it but could not find it. I can guess it is Workbench upgrade.
-
It's an unofficial Boing Bag update to OS3.9, created by some members of the community. Updated libraries, some new bundled programs, things of that nature.

Find BB3 & BB4 for OS3.9 here...

Not sure what the (+) plus means or where you may have seen that.

I saw that comment mentioning "BB4+", as well. I've done pretty extensive research on this and AFAIK there is no 4+. I think what poster meant was that they've done additional updates beyond 4, such as additional library updates beyond what are included in 4.
If there were an actual "4+" release, I I wish people would just upload these things to Aminet, instead of relying on hunting down obscure websites. *sigh* :(

Matt_H has it correct; it a recent (past year) update with most recent device drivers, libraries (such as icon.lib) and self adds correct S:S-S lines.

That's BB4. What about BB4+?

I think it's the same, since it's still a WIP.
The changes mentioned by danbeaver are in the changelog:
Changes between V0.9u and V0.9v:
* Updated icon.library from 46.4.284 to 46.4.326
* Added Ram-Handler (PatchRAM version)
Changes between V0.9t and V0.9u:
* Fixed remaining startup-sequence issues.
* Removed extraneous vlink.device files.
Changes between V0.9s and V0.9t:
* Fixed some startup-sequence issues.
Changes between V0.9r and V0.9s:
* Updated icon.library from 46.4.270 to 46.4.284.

So in other words, there is no actual "BB4+", which is what the original poster's question was. Correct?

Aah, Amiga, making things difficult since 1985. ;)

Is it weird that I see the Old rocker guy as 'Amigaaaaaa' and the song "the Cradel of Love" by Billy Idol pops into my head?

Right as soon as I read your post I remembered. I guess I had mental block from being away from the Amiga too long!

Yes that makes sense, I think the + threw me off since I hadn't been around the amiga for a while.

There is NO BB4+ :hammer:
Only BB4+ there is scarcely known to exist, is the one that's coming in the possible future for Amigas - and even that...well that's not for sure and you guessed it!
Now stop smartassin'!! :smack:
-
"+" means "or later". So if I say eg. a program requires OS3.5+, that means "OS3.5 or later".

Not necessarily. Look at the Apple II+. In this context it was a guy saying "I have BB4+", and the rest of us saying "What the heck is BB4+?" Damned semantics. ;)
But you shouldn't necessarily assume something hasn't been uploaded to Aminet just because it isn't available there...
Huh?
