When there's a new LTS version to download, an info will be displayed on the $jenkins_url/manage page:
New version of Jenkins (1.609.3) is available for download (changelog).
In the case of this example (1.609.3), download is a link that points to http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/war/1.609.3/jenkins.war while changelog points to http://jenkins-ci.org/changelog.html
Expected behaviour
- The changelog should point to the LTS changelog instead of the regular changelog (http://jenkins-ci.org/changelog-stable)
- The download link should point to the actual location of the LTS war (http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/war-stable/latest/jenkins.war) instead of fixing it trough a redirect/rewrite
Altough the download link technically is fixed I still feel that it should point to a proper location.
Fixed in master, but we need it on the stable branch so it works...
Filed as
JENKINS-30961for backporting. Hopefully when on 1.625.2, you'll be shown the correct changelog URL to 1.625.3.
