 ### Fixed
 
+* Reject non-function bindings for single-case and partial active pattern names with FS1209, matching the existing multi-case behavior. ([PR #19763](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19763))
 * Fix attributes on return type of unparenthesized tuple methods being silently dropped from IL. ([Issue #462](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/462), [PR #19714](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19714))
 * Fix internal error FS0073 "Undefined or unsolved type variable" in IlxGen when nested inline SRTP functions with multiple overloads leave unsolved typars in the non-witness codegen path. ([Issue #19709](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/19709), [PR #19710](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19710))
 * Fix NRE when calling virtual Object methods on value types through inline SRTP functions. ([Issue #8098](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/issues/8098), [PR #19511](https://github.com/dotnet/fsharp/pull/19511))
