Let me reconsider this reply, since I don't know if you're a native English speaker. "uplift" is a rather pretentious word which means a raising to a higher intellectual or spiritual level (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/uplift has links to the definition in other languages on the left hand column). "upgrade" or "update" (pretty much the same thing) would be the normal way to describe a simple updated version of some software, which I think is more appropriate here.
