Posting patches to the mailing list pretty much guarantees that they will be forgotten. It would be much better if you could file a bug report (enhancement request), and attach the patch to it.

Hi,

What I simply did was merging code together. I copied the new variations from the flam3 code into the flame plug-in, so they can also be used within gimp. I also added some other small stuff so the new merged variations can be used. What still works is saving and loading the files from the plug-in, also the old files saved with the older version still can be loaded. Random works too.

Please check bugzilla. There's a bug report about this topic and basically we decided to make the plug-in use the shared library that is developed by the original author. That would probably better than duplicating that code in GIMP.

I hope this can be merged into future versions of gimp, if there are no other future plans for the flame plug-in

Well, there are other plans (as mentioned above). But perhaps you could help us with the implementation of those plans...
