Options to ease and speed up the process of finding changes or adjusting parameters in a new release compared to an older one:
Sort files in related folders of new and older release by date,
files with identical date/size can be safely excluded.
For the files of different date, use e.g. winMerge to compare old and new version.
(always backup the original config files, also helps to keep track on what you changed)
WinMerge etc will also already reveal which parameter(s) are missing in one file
and can be expexted to have been moved to another, in case you will see them during the next comparisons,
else could still use ctrl+F in file manager and search for related term in all ini & xml.
Estimated time requirement is less than 30 min, incl a full "grind beans -> sip expresso" cycle;)
btw file compare function has limitations regarding synchronization of file after a difference,
and the issues increase with file size,
so one huge config file is probably counterproductive for the semi automatic process.
(respectively fully automatic if you use e.g. file manager ZTW)
