SVGAlib -- This essential graphics library went from being rather user-unfriendly to having a website, a mailing list, a message board and, most importantly, beaucoup documentation, especially on the programming front. Examples are now readily available, and the current maintainer (Matan Ziv-Av) makes sure that all questions are answered in a timely basis.
This is a vast improvement over the prior state of affairs, where installation and programming assistance were hard to come by.
There have been three new library upgrades in the past 12 months, which is perhaps a record for SVGAlib.
While SVGAlib might not be as useful to the world as gcc, the topic here is *most improved*, and SVGAlib certainly qualifies.

Plop, plop, fizz, fizz!!!
However, I don't think gcc is the *most improved* project, as it was already rock-solid. The best, perhaps, but not the most improved.
