1549889 - Show /whatsnew page on the beta channel with Trailhead release on June 4th

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Requests, defect, P1)

Description

[Eric Renaud [:erenaud]]

The request is to show the Trailhead whatsnew page to beta users coming from any previous version to the next dot release for 4 releases (so through to the release on June 13th)

Trailhead is scheduled for June 4th, which looks to be at the 68.0b9 release. We'd like the page shown to users upgrading from any earlier releases.

Content:
The Websites team will re-purpose the content, verbatim, from the content to be shown at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/67.0.5/whatsnew/

Locales:
It will be shown only to EN, DE and FR locales

Should devedition also get the page displayed?

Also, what URL should be used? As of Bug 1536665, beta will be displaying https://www.mozilla.org/%LOCALE%/67.0beta/whatsnew/, but that doesn't include the beta number.

Tom - we'd like to go with https://www.mozilla.org/%LOCALE%/68.0beta/whatsnew/

We're going to put it behind a switch and take it live on Tuesday June 4th, 6 a.m. , as Alex explained that doing so beforehand would show the Trailhead content to users updating today through then, prior to the actual 'launch'.

I've tested on Firefox 68 Beta 7 on "beta-cdntest" and "aurora-cdntest" channels and the Trailhead whatsnew page is correctly displayed for en-US, DE and FR locales.
For more information, see our test plan: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LDOlEpLR2zvDCsJw2B_EG1frEZwOV69GTGXGReHpNhg/edit
