This is Release Candidate 2 for the upcoming 0.84 Release - see the [[DevelopmentTeam/Release/Roadmap#Schedule]] for more details. Only one more weeks to go in this release cycle. Please test this release and report all the bugs you find that we are able to fix them in time. A friendly [[BugSquad]] will be available to triage those bugs accordingly and the developers can never have enough bug food. If you have non-bug feedback about features you can use the sugar-devel mailing list to share it with us.

Resume by default is now the way we handle activity startup. The option in the Favourites View palette has been removed completely. You can still start a new instance using the 'Start' option in the Activity palette.

There has been some refinements to the View Source dialog. You can access it from the Activity palette in the Frame or by using 'Shift+Alt+v' directly.

The coloured activity icon represents the source of the activity instance. The outlined activity icon represent the bundle source for the activity itself, the template. We use this to help draw a distinction between the "activity instance" and the "activity bundle"
Using the uncoloured outline to represent the bundle vs the coloured icon to represent an instance has been the design cue all along.
