enhancement
enhanced

    1. A change intended to make a product 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.

   Examples include Digital Enhanced Cordless
   Telecommunications, Enhanced Capabilities Port, Enhanced
   Directory Service, Enhanced Dynamic Random Access Memory,
   Enhanced Graphics Adapter, Enhanced IDE, Enhanced
   Integrated Drive Electronics, enhanced parallel port,
   Enhanced Small Disk Interface, List Enhanced, Privacy
   Enhanced Mail.

   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!".
