Recently in the service packs you get a ~Newfilelist~.ini that gives you some information about what
has been added and a backup of what has been removed. However Autodesk have traditionally been
very poor at documenting what exactly should be in the (metric) library.

In my humble opinion each, folder should have a readme,txt file i.e.

Priofiles-Structural-Steel_Desk.txt
O Files Deleted ~ (with some explanation of why they have been removed)
3 New files added
1) Form Deck_Condek HP.rfa
2) Form Deck_Superib S350.rfa
3) Richard Lees-Ribdeck AL.rfa (Richard Lees- missing)

Where Manufactures specific content is supplied it would be useful to have a hyperlink to their web
site
