563044 - Need to expand live urls for new types of what's new pages.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Mozilla Messaging Graveyard :: Release Engineering, defect)

Description

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Currently we have the following live urls:

Start page:
http://live.mozillamessaging.com/%APP%/start?locale=%LOCALE%&version=%VERSION%&os=%OS%&buildid=%APPBUILDID%

First run page (shown in the start page area):
http://live.mozillamessaging.com/%APP%/firstrun?locale=%LOCALE%&version=%VERSION%&os=%OS%&buildid=%APPBUILDID%

What's New page:
http://live.mozillamessaging.com/%APP%/whatsnew?locale=%LOCALE%&version=%VERSION%&os=%OS%&buildid=%APPBUILDID%

We need to keep all of the above for working with 3.0.x builds.

In bug 562297 and related we need to set up new urls for 3.1 and ongoing. The descriptions of the pages are:

* Start Page
** Probably just keep the existing page/live url
* First Run page
** This will be shown in a tab rather than the existing location. I think we can just point the existing url at new locations
* What's New page for major updates
* What's New page for minor updates

We therefore need to have two what's new page urls. Should we do this via a query parameter or just "whatsnewminor" and "whatsnewmajor" ?

I'd much prefer different urls, not query strings. Ideally, why not something like:

/whatsnew/?bla
/whatsnew/update/minor/?bla
/whatsnew/update/major/?bla

The URL space is all virtual anyways, not backed by files or anything.

Do we still have the user-visible notion of major vs. minor updates?

With the "new" release train , I don't think we do.
