[DOCS] PSA to themers and modders - sound, sprite and theme update difference checks

[nurver9]

The following files have been modified or received additions this update:

strings - de, es, en, fr, it, ko, pt-br, zh and zh-hant

desktop / assets & xmls - add textures/error.png, init, broker, inventory, misc and monster-dex

mobile / assets & xmls - android-inventory, android-misc, android-monster-dex

If you have not checked the latest default files for these assets and code blocks, your theme is OUTDATED.
I am personally keeping track of this documentation and figured it is useful to the community.
It is highly recommended that you perform difference checks instead of dumping default xmls into existing themes.

Why?
 

Files are modified during official updates and the majority of these changes are not logged in the patch notes.

Using deprecated content could lead to bugs such as; broken and or missing animations, icons, menus and windows.

Regular difference checks must be performed by creators- this is relevant for all custom interfaces.

Anything developed on a previous revision more than likely will not be forwards compatible.

Use outdated content at your own risk.

If you have further questions or require assistance, feel free to reach out.
