Did we ever link release notes appropriately for XUL beta's?

We already ifdef aurora, we could do the same for beta: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/app/mobile.js#502 That ifdef doesn't exist for XUL fennec, so it was probably added recently: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/xul/app/mobile.js#468

Also, who decided the urls for these aurora/beta release notes? I'm having trouble finding a valid /auroranotes/ url. We could also update these to mozilla.org addresses to avoid a redirect.

having a broken link/404 in our own product looks lame and unprofessional. this should be fixed.

Jaclyn, can you help me figure out what we should do about these URLs? Will the beta release notes URL always be at a URL of this form? https://www.mozilla.org/%LOCALE%/mobile/%VERSION%beta/releasenotes/ And are we continuing to put aurora release notes at URLs of this form? https://www.mozilla.org/%LOCALE%/mobile/%VERSION%/auroranotes/ I just want to be sure before landing a patch to change things.

This just matches what the URLs of the current live pages. We can always change this if we come up with a different URL scheme. I also did a s/mozilla.com/mozilla.org/ here.

This makes us look bad, so it would be nice to fix for the next beta.

a new FAQ for native UI is being written by PR right now. I don't expect it to be ready within the next couple of weeks so I would recommend taking off that link from the About page

Can we at least get a placeholder up in the meantime?

Should be fixed in http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc?view=revision&revision=105367 on the web side. No need to make code changes.

This is not fixed for Fennec Nightly. Today the in-product link points here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/16.0a1/releasenotes/

(In reply to Richard J. Turner from comment #17) > This is not fixed for Fennec Nightly. Today the in-product link points here: > http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/16.0a1/releasenotes/ This is expected. There are no release notes for nightly developer builds.

Ah, I didn't know that. Wouldn't it be better if the link went to a page that explains that rather than a 404?
