1890938 - Changelog for 124.1 and 124.2 is missing

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(www.firefox.com :: Release Notes, enhancement)

Description

[onitake]

Steps to reproduce:

Went to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/android/notes/ to find the changelog for the current Fenix release.

Actual results:

The changelog for 124.0 is shown.

Expected results:

I'd have expected some release notes for the current versions: 124.1 and 124.2.
I also couldn't find any changelog on the Github release page: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/releases
Or the changelog in the repo: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/blob/main/docs/changelog.md

The release note for https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/android/notes/ is generated from bugs with flag relnote-firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?f1=cf_tracking_firefox_relnote&o1=isnotempty

It don't related to changelog from the repo.
This changelog "https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/blob/main/docs/changelog.md" is basically about android-components which is for the developers (not for the end users)

Also the repo in github is archived, new versions won't be released on github.

Thanks for that information.
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/wiki#upcoming-migration-to-mozilla-central does mention that Fenix 124 and 125 will be released from the Github tree, and the repo isn't archived yet, though.

Unfortunately, it looks like someone forgot to tag the bugs related to Fenix 124.1 and 124.2 properly:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?f1=cf_tracking_firefox_relnote&query_format=advanced&list_id=16985512&o1=isnotempty&product=Fenix&target_milestone=124%20Branch shows only one bug, and that's the one mentioned in https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/android/124.0/releasenotes/

Looking through the Git history, there's a bunch of bugs referenced that don't show up in the list:
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android/commits/releases_v124/

124.1:

• Bug 1886730 - catch NLP during RemoteSetting getRecords() failure
• Bug 1879332 - ensure synced tabs includes the inactive property
• Revert "Bug 1867717 - Add DownloadsFeature to AddonPopupBaseFragment."
• Bug 1884666 - Only add Google additional header in search, preferences and webhp urls

124.2:

• Bug 1885095 - Do not propagate requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent.

These may or may not be interesting, but even if they aren't deemed important enough for release notes, there should at least be a dummy entry that describes each release. Displaying nothing at all gives the impression that there wasn't any release in the first place.
