Why a patch for? Since Pandora (except for Pandora to Ariadna change where I didn't try it) I just unzipped it overwriting the previous build and it always worked and maintained all my configurations, just like a patch (except for 613, but as said by IDEA guys, that was because the project format changed, so it would also happen to a patch).
