Aleksey,<div><br></div><div>I think what I'm doing with Dropbox is an adequate way of getting some pre-release testing beyond the testing I do myself. I'm going to see if I get any more feedback then post to ASLO this afternoon. None of my Activities are complex enough to require extensive beta testing. I just figured that if someone besides me looked at it he might hit that one corner case I'd forgotten.</div>

</div>In more or less recent 0.92, it works fine for me (doesn't fail and<br>
can't reproduce #3013)<br>

</div>in that case, what do you think about having stability levels for activities,<br>
ie, if people prefer stable versions, they will use them all time. But,<br>
developer is free to relese development/testing versions as frequently<br>
as he prefer to let some users a chance to test them (by following the<br>
same launching scenario if only addition is explicitly allowing run<br>
non-stable versions).<br>

<br>
sugar should not restrict doers creating such activities (especially<br>
when it makes sence like in a la Journal activities). In any other cases<br>
doers might create statefull activities (but sugar is not perfect for<br>
that case right now, eg, we have resume-by-default but we have the Home<br>
view when users can start spaming journal by new jobjects).<br>
