Do the install mechanisms in Sugar itself?
Yes, that's why I'm suggesting doing it for 0.88, so we have time to patch whatever needs to be patched. About newer activity versions with dotted version numbers not updating older ones in <=0.86 because they are interpreted as older, I guess we have three options: - accept it as-is, activity authors that want older versions of Sugar to update to their bundles need to also produce bundles with undotted version numbers (messy), - patch older versions to recognize the new scheme (won't be possible for many/most deployments), - start the dotted series from the last integer used: Browse-112.1, Browse-112.2, etc (ugly). Any better options?
