Given that we generally don't apply enhancements to update releases, and that when we do they are usually backports, then this seems such a rare occurrence as to not be worth mentioning. Possibly the only case I can think of that might be classified as an enhancement would be where an update release eventually drops support for something that was already dropped in a future release.
