This might be a good time to introduce an optional "sugar_version=..." field into <a href="http://activity.info">activity.info</a>, so we can display a human readable error message when this mistake happens. The activity will not launch unless Sugar's version is greater than or equal to the <a href="http://activity.info">activity.info</a> field. Most activities will not need it, but in case of using non-backwards compatible APIs it will be handy.<div>

</div>OK, looks like a SoaS build mistake.<br>

Caroline, just a quick ping. Checking <a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">activities.sugarlabs.org</a>, it<br>
tells me Write-63 was the last version compatible with Sugar 0.84.x. I<br>
believe Aleksey started working on the new 0.85.x toolbar code as of<br>
version 64, breaking compatibility with earlier versions of Sugar:<br>
