I don't know the official difference, but I would guess that an
"improvement" is a request like "better error message when a rollback
fails", vs. "new feature", which seems like a bigger additional to
the code.

Hi,
Does anyone understand what the difference is between an "Improvement"
and a "New Feature"? My hope is that "Improvement" is a strict
superset
of "New Feature".
Should we strive to use "Improvement" rarely, only for bits of
functionality that exist but need to be nominally tweaked, and use
"New
Feature" for other things? Maybe "New Feature" is for things that will
need mentioning in docs etc, and "Improvement" is for things that just
need tweaks in code?
