Thanks for all the information.

It was due to the request to "have the same list of Activities as
11.2", it seems i need to do some more so it pulls in the latest
versions of that list. I'll look at it this week so we can have it
fixed for the next build.

This is why SOPs are good. I think there was half a dozen or so
replies (both on list and IRC) as to what people though the procedure
was. If there was a group of OOB SOPs for both Stable and Dev releases
it would all be nicely documented somewhere central :-)
