Right when we upgrade the old profile is ported to gconf and the .sugar/default/config file is erased - so when we downgrade we check for the presence of that file and will create the config like we do on first boot. >>> An ABI policy has been figured out and modules have been marked as >>> STABLE / UNSTABLE / DEPRECATED. >> Where are they marked, in the .py files? > > Yes, in the docstrings so it should make it to places like > http://api.sugarlabs.org > >>> == Fructose news == >>> ... >> Are the new activity versions backwards-compatible with 8.2?
