What is a "hot fix"?

[Freakshow9191]

So rockstar DID give me $625 for my lost wagon.  I updated the post "5 large wagons stolen by rockstar" with the email from rockstar customer support.  

In it she said the issue (disconnect and lose your whole wagon I assume) has been hot fixed. 

I don't speak coding, do you suppose hot fix means we won't lose an entire wagon if disconnected anymore?

Thought I would add the email in this thread so people could see what I'm talking about without having to go to another thread.

A hotfix is essentially just a quick and targeted fix for a bug, etc. vs. a larger update that may contain several changes addressing multiple issues, adding content, etc.  .....like a title update.
