Hi all. The new & improved What's New page is now ready for QA. (note: we had QA'd the 3.1 version of this page in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478776, but the page has changed pretty significantly for 3.5 so I thought it best to open up a clean, fresh bug). This is both one of the highest priority pages to finish up soon (b/c it's an l10n requirement) and also one of the trickier pages. There are multiple states of this page depending on which version of the browser you're updating to...the version we want to work on now is the one for 3.5.0. Steven is going to weigh in soon with a more detailed explanation of what's what. Also, as you guys probably recall there was some confusion around the role of this page vs First Run during the 3.0 launch, so let's make sure we learn from that experience. Thanks in advance for your help here.
Clicking on "latest and greatest version" link loads the personal.html page instead of mozilla main page.The download button in personal.html is not as obvious. This behavior may be due to A/B testing(though it was supposed to be turned off). screencast:http://screencast.com/t/oPawtSiM

This page should be tested in a 3.5 nightly.
I'm running a 3.5 nightly, but see the same content as at the beginning of that screencast; no real mention of what's new in 3.5. Am I doing something wrong?
I've commented out some of the version checking (in r24755) so QA can see what the page will look like when 3.5 is actually the latest release. It might take a minute to update trunk (you should see "Firefox 3.5" logo colors rather than grey Georgia text in the heading).

You should see the appropriate version of the page now, but it's mostly just the headline/sub-heading that changed - the rest of the page content is setup per the spec.

I find the prepositional phrase "downloading to the fastest..." to be awkward; John?
Also: Steven, would you please re-enable the version-checking (re: comment 4); thanks!
(In reply to comment #7) > I find the prepositional phrase "downloading to the fastest..." to be awkward; > John? Excellent catch...I totally agree. Let's remove the 'to', so it reads "...downloading the fastest..." Thanks!

1/ comment in firstun also apply here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=489432#c13 2/ the php code with a regex testing the version number should be externalized as an include or function and not exposed to localizers, this would also allow us to manage that code globally for all locales and all future minor releases 3/ <?php endif; else: ?> this code looks strange to me (but I rarely use php alternate syntax) isn't an if: statement missing? I don't understand how we test the "unknown Firefox browser" case 4/ I would also really like the extra_headers section to be a common include for all whatsnew pages as we will have this code on 70 pages replicated with each minor release
Steven, if the suggestions in comment #11 sound good to you, please make them as soon as you can. We need to get this page and First Run wrapped up soon. Thanks!

Pascal, I've made the changes requested for items 2, 3 and 4 in r25155, r25153 and r25156 respectively.
Pascal, extra PHP variable definitions have been moved into the external header files as well (request 4/). The $_page_title variable remains on the html page.
"Our Support page has plenty of answers,..." I think it should be our "Support website" or "Support site"
(In reply to comment #16) > "Our Support page has plenty of answers,..." > > I think it should be our "Support website" or "Support site" Good catch. Let's make this read "Our Support site..." and then we can call this one finished. Same thing applies for the First Run page, btw.
(In reply to comment #17) > Good catch. Let's make this read "Our Support site..." and then we can call > this one finished. Same thing applies for the First Run page, btw. Done in r25180.
Safe to mark this as fixed?
