1055098 - Figure out a way to publish release notes for dot release (ex: 29.0.1) vs major release (29)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Pages & Content, defect)

Description

[Sylvestre Ledru [:Sylvestre]]

Initially reported in bug 973335
Example: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/29.0.1/releasenotes/

Copy and paste from the bug:
Actual results:
The What's New list often contains the same items as previous release notes pages. For instance, the Firefox 23.0.1 page includes most of what was listed for version 23, with three fixes for 23.0.1 added to the top.

Expected results:
The What's New section should list changes in the version being discussed, not changes from previous versions.

Hi Sylvestre-

Based on my understanding of how the publishing system works, you should just be able to delete the content you don't want after copying the previous release notes.

Is this a discussion for the release management team or a technical request?

Thanks!

This is a discussion for now :) We are thinking about a refactoring of the release notes. This is one of the point we would like to address.

I think we can close this bug for now. We'll want to revisit how we display major and minor releases but should include that in our larger conversation about release notes refactoring.
