The current situation is:

Every version of activity
(http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/developers/versions/4024)
has a Sugar "Compatible Applications" field - its a SugarPlatform version

So we could upload "new" Browse version for only 0.82 SP
but where is a problem - it wouldn't prevent user from downloading
last(which is only for 0.84) in 0.82 environment, moreover 0.82 user can
see only 0.84 version and should click "See All Versions" to get the
right .xo.

Whith http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/824 fixed activities.sugarlabs.org
could filter/suggest/etc the right version for users SP.
