File Health Check
Over the past few months of delivering technical support for XenForo, we have found that problems are very frequently due to customers not having completely uploaded all the files associated with a version, resulting in a mismatch of code.
With 1.0.3, we debut the File Health Check system, which allows you to run a check with just a few clicks to see if all the appropriate files are in place and contain the correct contents. If any problems are detected, you will be alerted to the error.
Of course, being XenForo, the File Health Check system provides a code event to allow add-on authors to add their own code into the health check so that they too can benefit from knowing that all their files have been successfully uploaded.
Cool idea. I guess it works on MD5 checksums ? (No details are provided). or checking versions in .xml files ?
It is a super cool feature for addon authors to be able to do File Health Checks too.
I certainly think this very useful and practical tool is an example of Xenforo looking out for
webmasters wanting a great forum which is easy administrate.
I certainly think this feature needs an entry in: Have you Seen ?
Great work Xenforo !

Reading the forums over the past year, I have been surprised to hear/read that "incomplete file uploads" have been determined to be the cause of many hard to diagnose forum problems. Glad to hear this problem will be significantly minimized.
