[Sugar-devel] [ANNOUNCE] Please update your activity info files for deprecated fields

Dear activity developers,

there are two deprecated fields in the activity.info [1]

'service_name' is deprecated please use 'bundle-id' instead.

'class' is deprecated and you should use the 'exec' command instead. The 
reason for the switch is that the exec command follows better the 
general freedesktop standard [2]

The sooner you get this in the better. Deprecated things get dropped at 
some point, latest with the next major release (in this case 1.0) - you 
will be informed again of course.

Thanks,
    Simon
