BTW, we should still answer the question of the <a href="http://activity.info">activity.info</a> field... Seems like there 3 options to me:<div><div><br></div><div>1) Deprecate host_version in the <a href="http://activity.info">activity.info</a> spec. Activity developers write code to test for presence non-BC APIs and provide fallbacks (or else let activities fail to launch/work).</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) Keep host_version as an incrementing number, make activityfactory respect it, and bump the Sugar number from 1 to 2 in 0.86.1 to reflect the toolbar changes.</div><div><br></div><div>3) Deprecate host_version, introduce sugar_version which is set to the oldest Sugar version number the activity is compatible with.<br>
<br></div><div>I'm fine with any of these, let me know and I'll provide the patch.</div><div><br></div><div>-Wade</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 12:12 PM, Gary C Martin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gary@garycmartin.com">gary@garycmartin.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I have a prototype patch which fixes the launch window and adds an error<br>
message. I'll try to get it posted soon.<br>
<br>
Cool :-)<br>
<br>
Ok, a prototype patch is posted at <a href="http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1447" target="_blank">http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1447</a>. When an activity fails to start, it immediately displays a "<Name> failed to start." with a close button.<br>
<br>
If anyone can test it out I would greatly appreciate it. Also if you have a theory about the occasional segfault when clicking Close, or know how to get a traceback when running jhbuild, let me know.<br>

Fantastic, looks great, I'm hacking on new Labyrinth toolbars just now so, I will apply this and test it on all the tracebacks I get ;-)<br>
