Sugar moved to use [http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ GConf] as a back end to store the profile. This is another step into reducing diverts where not needed.

To handle view source [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar-toolkit/repos/mainline/blobs/master/src/sugar/activity/activityservice.py#line71 HandleViewSource and GetDocumentPath] have been added to the activity service. The former will handle the content of the activity bundle, the latter is the source of the current activity instance, in the case of Browse this would be the source of the HTML page currently displayed. Activity authors need to implement ''get_document_path'' and return the path to the document the dialog should display.

The method [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar-toolkit/repos/mainline/blobs/master/src/sugar/activity/activity.py#line717 ''get_preview''] has been changed to be public. It does return an image representing the state of the activity. Generally this is what the user is seeing in this moment. Activities can override this method and provide their own preview data.

=== Debugging ===
Since version 0.84 the configuration file '~/.sugar/debug' is created which gets read when Sugar starts. The file does contain logging options which are commented by default. Use your editor of choice and remove the '#' before the line 'export SUGAR_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug' to enable Sugar debug logging. More information about the Sugar logs can be found at [[BugSquad/GetLogs]].
