New in 2.12.2:	

SaferPatches remains unchanged; no aparent bugs found. ShowPatches
includes now a menu that allows to define the sorting order of the
patch list, and options to print and safe the changes. Thanks goes
to Luca for the ideas.
_____________________________________________________________________________

New in 2.12:	

Saferpatches checks now explicitly whether resources are about to be 
patched. It emmits a yellow guru if the WARN option is on. Note that
a resource requires only a "node" and not a "library" structure, hence
the checksum field "SetFunction" relies on need not to be available.
Patching resources is therefore not 100% waterproof and may corrupt
memory unless the resource structure is in fact a library structure.

New in 2.11:

SaferPatches does now no longer flush libraries if it runs out of memory.
This might have caused problems in low-memory situations.

New in 2.10.2:

Updated ShowPatch again. It is now possible to disable or enable patches
from the command line. *WARNING! THIS IS AN ADVANCED FEATURE AND SHOULD BE
USED WITH GREAT CARE!*

More about this feature in the guide.

SaferPatches remains unmodified.
_____________________________________________________________________________

New in 2.10:

Updated ShowPatch *a lot*. It is now possible to enable or disable selected
entries or groups of patches by one click. However, note THAT THIS OPERATION
IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS! 

Updated SaferPatches a tiny little bit to support the protocol by ShowPatch
for enabling and disabling patches.
