Detailed Description
A new field is added to the activity.info file (activity_minor_version). Internally the activity version will become represented as a float, constructing the value of the minor and major part if the minor part is available. Otherwise the activity version is converted to a float.
Benefit to Sugar
Let activity developers release bugfix versions and do not mess them with already released new versions(e.g. bugfix for several-versions-ago release w/o breaking/confusing-users existed versioning scheme).
Scope
This feature enhance the versioning scheme of activities.
UI Design
The activity version is only visible in the activity list.
How To Test
- add the minor part to an activity.info file of an activity - you should be able to change the favorite status in the activities list of new and old style activities - you should be able to install activities (check newer and older versions of the same activity, too)
User Experience
If this feature is noticeable by its target audience, how will their experiences change as a result? Describe what they will see or notice.
Dependencies
Regular glucose dependencies.
Contingency Plan
None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour.
