New Cron Task: TableDownloadCleanup
A new crontaskcalled TableDownloadCleanup was added. It is disabled by default.
When files are downloaded in xlsx or csv format, a temporary file is generated on the file server, and then deleted after the file is downloaded. We added this crontask to clean up the tabledownload folder on the server containing these temporary files. If you notice files in the tabledownload folder on your webserver, you could enable this crontask to help with an automatic cleanup. Otherwise, you leave it off, as we do not expect system failures to occur caused by the presence of these temporary files.
