1073337 - updating to seamonkey 2.29.1 fails, no release notes displayed automatically or from menu

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Website, defect)

Description

[Johannes Leushuis]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 SeaMonkey/2.29.1
Build ID: 20140923221838

Steps to reproduce:

I started Seamonkey


Actual results:

Seamonkey said it was going to install the update for Seamonkey 2.29.1

This automatic update failed, it downloaded then a complete Seamonkey update, which succeeded.

Then usually the page with the release notes displays, now only the home page (that I had just set in the preferences to blank) showed.

Then choosing from the menu "release notes" gives at page http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.29.1/ :
Page Not Found
We're sorry, but we can't find what you're looking for.
The page or file you're looking for wasn't found on our site. It's possible that you clicked a link that's out of date, or typed in the address incorrectly. 


Expected results:

1. The automatic update should update to Seamonkey 2.29.1
2. The page with release notes should display
3. If chosen, the menu entry Help, Release notes should display the release notes

2. & 3. seemingly are in error & should point to http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.29/ (at least per "These release notes ... up to/including SeaMonkey 2.29.1.").

Since it's after the fact, a http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.29.1/ should be created so a least you don't end up with a 404.

I'm confirming this one. I got the same result as well.
