Hi all, I've released alpha 13 already, at the usual location 
http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/

In addition to fixing the crash people have reported when buying aircraft 
or opening aircraft windows, it adds a new switch for people running the 
Windows version of TTD in windowed mode: stretchwindow <size> resizes the 
TTD window to the given horizontal size by stretching the pixels.  This 
means it doesn't change the real resolution, but it makes the game window 
larger on very high resolution monitors.  The stretching that's required 
slows down the game so you need a relatively fast computer and graphics 
card for that.  This switch does absolutely nothing (except perhaps a small 
slowdown) in fullscreen mode, or in the DOS version.  For more info see the 
manual entry at http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php?page=StretchWindow .

There have also been several changes to the grf capabilities again, 
including a new version number 06 for 2.0.1 alpha 13 or higher.

Finally, from now on several switches that were turned on by default no 
longer are.  They are servint, feederservice, selectstationgoods, 
multihead, newstartyear and planespeed.  This means when using the -a 
command line switch, or when running TTDPatch for the first time without a 
ttdpatch.cfg, these switches will be left turned off while the others are 
turned on.

All changes in 2.0.1 alpha 13:
- set the default for servint, feederservice, selectstationgoods,
   multihead, newstartyear and planespeed to be turned off
- reorganized common.h switch definitions
- added switch to scale window size in the Windows version of TTD
   when set to window mode, now the window size can be anything (but
   pixels are simply doubled, no better resolution); don't use switch
   in fullscreen mode
- fixed crash when opening aircraft window in Windows version (also
   happened when buying new aircraft of course)
- allow prop 22 to only add effect, but no wagon power/weight (add
   80)
- Cht: NoUnload now applies to all vehicle types, not only trains,
   but can choose vehicle type with optional parameter (0=trains,
   1=RV, 2=ships, 3=aircraft)
- fixed bug with sign cheat parameters not getting applied correctly
   in some cases when reusing signs
- three new graphics actions: 0B: generate error messages, 0C: NOP
   to comment out actions, 0D: set grf parameter (can do math too)
- new variable 8D for action 7 checks TTD version type, DOS or
   Windows
- defined new grf version number 06 for 2.0.1 alpha 13 or above
- fixed bug with incorrect train refit cargo list in other climates
   and with paper in temperate
