Instructions for applying patches

Prerequisite: The ​patch command line utility. patch is preinstalled on Mac OS X and most Linux and Unix systems. For Windows, obtain it from ​Cygwin.

• In the table, click the link for the desired Changeset.

• On the bottom of the Changeset page, click on "Download in other formats: Unified Diff".

• Open a command prompt window using your operating system. Enter these two commands, replacing directory with the path to directory from the table, download-path with the path to your download directory, and # with the changeset number:

     cd ''directory''
     patch <''download-path''/changeset_r''#''.diff

Note the "<" before the location of the download-path. If you forget it, patch will hang waiting for console input.
