Description David Liontooth 2023-09-17 14:17:15 UTC
Description:
When I first open Libreoffice 7.6.1.2, I'm prompted to read the Release Notes. Clicking that link takes me to https://hub.libreoffice.org/ReleaseNotes/?LOvers=7.6&LOlocale=en-US, which is a dead link -- page does not load. The same link is used in the "About LibreOffice" screen. I use the AARCH64 architecture, but suspect this is the same in all releases.

The release notes appear to have moved and I find them here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.6
It looks to me like this link should be updated. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on "LibreOffice", "About LibreOffice" and then  "Release Notes"
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Web page no longer exists

Expected Results:
Release Notes


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Change the link to the current location of the Release Notes, https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.6

Note that the instructions for this field in the bug report system prompts users to "Please copy here the information from menu Help - About LibreOffice." This is incorrect; the "About LibreOffice" screen is no longer accessible from the Help menu, at least on a Mac. Instead it's located under LibreOffice | About LibreOffice.

Version: 7.6.1.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community

Hi David,
clicking your link https://hub.libreoffice.org/ReleaseNotes/?LOvers=7.6&LOlocale=en-US on Firefox desktop takes me to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.6

Checking from my local 7.6.1.2 install the release notes also open as expected.

It seems that forwarding has been addressed in the meantime. Can you confirm?
