enhancement

1. A change to a product which is intended to make it better

in some way, e.g. new functions, faster, or occasionally more

compatible with other systems. Enhancements to {hardware}

components, especially {integrated circuits} often mean they

are smaller and less demanding of resources. Sadly, this is

almost never true of {software} enhancements.

2. {Marketroid}-speak for a {bug fix}. This abuse of language

is a popular and time-tested way to turn incompetence into

increased revenue. A hacker being ironic would instead call

the fix a {feature}, or perhaps save some effort by declaring

"{That's not a bug, that's a feature!}".
