I’m updating a couple of sites to 2.0.3 and whilst the system folder is a straight drop in, it’s not clear what’s changed in the application folder beyond doing a manual comparison.

I think it would be best to have a section in the change log listing any files in the application folder that have changed as these are the ones we’re modifying and tinkering with for application specific stuff it would be nice to get a heads up with at least which files have changed since the previous version.

You can run a diff -q between your installation and the download package to list files that differ, or the same between any two download packages.
