Adam D. Moss Is A GIMP Patcher
Despite the unsavory sound of that headline, it's actually a good thing. Adam has made a couple mini-patches to Autocrop and Displace. The Autocrop patch allows it to operate on indexed images and the Displace patch insures that only grayscale images are used as displacement maps.

Yet Another Offset Patch
Peter has made a patch of his own to Offset against the stock 0.99.8 version. It's preferred that you use this patch rather than Adrian's below.

Offset Patch (Don't Use It Though)
Adrian has posted an update to the Offset dialog that fixes a few problems his original patch created. This patch restores some of the original functionality but keeps the improvements.

Second IfsCompose Patch Availble
Owen Taylor posted a small patch to his IfsCompose plugin.

Patches page started
This is almost more of an experiment than anything else, but I want to collect all the miscellaneous patches that get sent to the mailing list and then promptly lost (at least by me). This should help people get them quicker than sifting through the mailing list archive.

If you have a patch and want it to show up here, email it to me as well as the mailing list. For me, gimp-developer comes in rather slowly. :(

IfsCompose Patch
Quartic has given me a patch for IfsCompose that modifies the event handling for a dramatic speed increase.
