Patch (computing)
In computing, a patch is a software update meant to fix problems with a computer program. This can range from fixing bugs, to replacing graphics, to improving the usability or performance of a previous version. The term probably originates from the Unix patch command written by Larry Wall. Though meant to fix problems, patches can sometimes introduce new problems.
