A long-standing issue with synchronizing changes made to a Journal—originally reported in Sugar 0.84 as described in ticket {{Bug|1358}}—has been fixed. Edits to a Journal entry (e.g. changing the entry name or the description) while an activity is still open were lost when the activity was closed. The patch has also been backported to Sugar 0.84.

There are still many activities that do not use the new activity Toolbars introduced in 0.86. We encourage the switch to use the new Toolbars as there have been huge improvements in usability (e.g. stopping an activity).

Jim Simmons has written a guide to writing Sugar Activities (Please see [http://en.flossmanuals.net/ActivitiesGuideSugar/Introduction Make your own Sugar Activities!]) which details how to convert your activity to the new toolbars without compromising performance on old Sugar systems.
