On my website I am using Mambo 4.5.2. I have modified the core PHP files to customise my Mambo. Mambo have now released a patch from 4.5.2 to 4.5.2.3 and installation is a simple procedure which requires the files included within the patch to be copied to the respective directories of the root of my installation thereby overwriting the original files [with my modifications].

Fortunately I maintained a good record of the modifications I made to the original files. I understand by using common *nix application such as diff and patch I could apply the modifications automatically however I doubt this would be necessary as I could implement the modifications I made originally into the new release files manually.

What I would like to know is the best way to handle this in the future as it may not be possible to incorporate existing modifications to new releases manually due to the number of modifications made.
