      # Some issues with bad callback URLs on edition views after a bricks reloading have been fixed.
        Note: sadly, this fix makes the context of the visitor mode easier to lost ("Back" in your browser to get it back).

         # Apps :
             * Activities :
-                - Fix an issue in the deepcopy of the property 'limit_choices_to' of ActivitySubTypeField : it was lost and the choices not filtered.
-                - Fix Activity deletion : Since the relation 'subject of activity' is internal we need to remove them before deleting.
+                - The deletion of Activity was not possible (the relationships "subject of activity" prevented it).
+                - An issue in the deepcopy of the property 'ActivitySubTypeField.limit_choices_to' has been fixed :
+                  it was lost and the choices not filtered.
             * Opportunities :
                 - Some bricks (products/services/quote..) did not accept specific columns.
