Unofficial Patch
An unofficial patch, sometimes alternatively called a community patch, is a patch for a piece of software, created by a third party such as a user community without the involvement of the original developer. Similar to an ordinary patch, it alleviates bugs or shortcomings.

Motivation A common motivation for the creation of unofficial patches is missing technical support by the original software developer or provider. Reasons may include: *the software product reached its defined end-of-life and/or was superseded by a successor product ( planned obsolescence) * the software was originally designed to operate in a substantially different environment and may require improvement/optimization ( porting) * the developer has gone out of business and is not available anymore *support is not economically viable (e.g. localization f ...
