Update 24/02/2014: These set of instructions is no longer valid. From now on we're planning to release all patches using the auto-update tool.
Hello all,
Please refer to the following visual guide in order to install the manual patches we'll be providing during the end of December and the first weeks of January:
Pre-requisites: please make sure you have updated to SPM v. 0.7.8 or later first. All patches starting from 0.7.9 onwards assume that you have upgraded at least to 0.7.8 first.
