All of these changes were definitely needed bug fixes. Whether they are enhancements or not probably depends on whether you took advantage of the bug or not.

These are enhancements? I think I'll mail these folks a
dictionary...

I do wish they'd implement some sort of linkdead and timestamp
check so that if you're only linkdead for a few minutes, this
no-rent stuff wouldn't disappear. We've had our party
stranded in Befallen several times due to the no-rent key
disappearing.

This stops an exploit where you could cast minor illusion,
intentionally go linkdead, then come back. You'd still be
illusioned (and thus stuff wouldn't attack you), but because
the client didn't think you were illusioned, you could move.
A needed bugfix, but hardly an enhancement.
