I have created a XLS (excel file) where i have writte what files i have modify and what hack, so when i will do an upgrade to a newer version of vBulletin i will know what hacks i RE-need to put back in the files.

How HTL will help me managing my hacks ?

I did not get in on the beta hack (darn my not coming here...), but the basics that I understand of the pics and info that KuraFire provided is:

- The HTL will not do any file changes (and possibly template *changes*, but I couldn't find a definite on that one in the post)
- The HTL will import any new phrases and phrase groups needed for the hack
- The HTL will import any new templates needed for the hack
- The HTL will contain all information for each HTL hack installed / pseudo installed needed to "re-install" for upgrades

So, to answer your question, it would be similar to your Excel file, but available through the Admin CP of your forums and a whole lot more helpful and cool...
