Documenting the 8.2.0 API changes is a work in progress... Please contribute!

Sugar API Changes

Deprecations

• sugar.activity.activity:
  • Using self._shared_activity is deprecated, but still works. Use self.shared_activity instead.

Additions

• sugar.presence.sugartubeconn:
  • Use SugarTubeConnection instead of TubeConnection to get resolution of Telepathy handles to Buddies without needing the get_buddy boilerplate function. See this commit to Connect to see how to use it.

System API Changes

• 8.2.0 was based on Fedora 9, whereas 8.1.x was based on Fedora 7. TODO: Discuss this in more detail.
