==== API work ====
 
−
* backwards compability
 
−
* (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/sugar-port will take care for the activities needs for a working activity on 0.82 for example) see "Decoupling of Sucrose" section [[User:Alsroot|Alsroot]] 16:16, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 
−
* dbus API to resume/open activities
 
−
* dbus API to get core version(at least major version)
 
−
 
 
−
==== Decoupling of Sucrose ====
 
−
 
 
−
The major idea is to have tough core(with stable release cycle) <=> dbus-API/sugar-toolkit-API <=> unlimited count of activities that uses core functionality and do not follow 6 months release cycle(which could be overmuch for activity).
 
−
 
 
−
It could looks like:
 
−
* '''core''' - glucose, six months(or so) release cycle, w/o any activities only API
 
−
* '''bridge''' - [[Development_Team/sugar-port|sugar-port]] for example, between all(in ideal) already deployed sugars and activities i.e. it provides backwards compatibility(so the same activity code will work on all sugars) and at the same time provides features from newest sugar(so the same activity code will use last sugar's features)
 
−
* '''world''' - the rest of sugar world i.e. fructose/honey (but now there is no differences between them) that use core directly, if all deployed sugars have the same API for desired functionality(for example in case of preselected mime type, ObjectsChooser has different API for 0.82-0.86), or use bridge otherwise.<br>imho another point to have activities outside of core release cycle - activities have more shorter release cycle then core has
 
−
 
 
−
And of course deployers can form any sets from these components

==== Datastore feature requests that could benefit Library activity ====
 
−
 
 
−
These features can benefit [[Activities/Library]] activity. At present(for 0.82/0.84) Library uses "rich" datastore client which fetches all Journal objects to make short list of objects(by collapsing all versions to one item), moreover it has to unzip .xo bundles to get ''bundle_id'' value. So its not good.
 
−
 
 
−
With all these features implemented Library can use "thin" datastore client and not fetch all objects, just make proper request for datasotre.find() to get sorted and collapsed objects by portions (by using offset/limit find() arguments).
 
−
 
 
−
<strong>Get collapsed find()'s resultset</strong>
 
−
 
 
−
Let user call datastore.find() to get list of collapsed objects(all versions by one item).
 
−
 
 
−
That should mean that any datastore object should have "object id":
 
−
* ''activity_id'' for objects that were generated by activities (already implemented)
 
−
* ''bundle_id'' for .xo bundles in the Journal
 
−
* ''uid'' for other objecets (already implemented)
 
−
 
 
−
<strong>History of collapsed object</strong>
 
−
 
 
−
Let datastore clients browse history of collapsed objects:
 
−
* for ''activity_id'' objects - sort by timestamp (already impelemented)
 
−
* for ''bundle_id'' objects - sort by ''activity_version''(or so) field
 
−
 
 
−
<strong>Sort find()'s resultset</strong>
 
−
 
 
−
Let datastore clients sort objects by any field(not only predefined like uid, activity_id etc).
 
−
 
 
−
<strong>Sort by buddies count</strong>
 
−
 
 
−
==== Old items ====

Sucrose Development

Sucrose 0.85.x is an unstable development series intended for testing and development purposes. Sucrose uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status, so this unstable 0.85.x series will finally become the 0.86 stable release.
