Just uploaded it to the ticket system, included text from my changelog 
(hopefully its descriptive enough).
Patching is fully automated since i use astyle formatting it would be 
hard if not impossible to apply the patch without the same formatting i 
use (sorry about that but i like my code readable).

Hope you find it usefull.
