Question about patches..

[sython]

I was wondering, when people post patches and fixes, are the automatically applied to the next release of the server?

Not immediately. And no not automatically.

Someone reviews the patch/data in the post and if it qualifies it will be commited. Otherwise it is rejected and they will get a post explaining why.

thanks for clearing that up for me

oh forgot to ask, if i was to apply a patch, and then i did an updated, and the update didnt contain the commited patch. Would i need to re-apply the patch?

No, your modified files will remain modified with the patch.
You may run into conflicts when attempting to do updates though that will require you to handle things manually sometimes.
