"What's news in Discourse" link is not-found

[yhmtsai]

Hi,
There’s a button What’s news in Discourse in admin page.
It’s linked to https://meta.discourse.org/c/feature/announcements?tags=release-notes&before=0 , but it shows not-found

I confirm the issue on my forum. version 2.9.0.beta12 (6493ddce17)

Thanks for reporting this. #announcements was moved to be a standalone category a little while back, so that link will need updating.

If you’re still looking, you can find them now at:

https://meta.discourse.org/c/announcements?tags=release-notes&before=0

Any category link by default uses the ID in the URL to keep the link valid if the category changes and the ID is absent from this URL. Is there a particular reason for this or is it an oversight?

[JammyDodger]

I’m afraid this I do not know.

I manually amended the given link above to get the new revised one, but I suppose the actual link would be

https://meta.discourse.org/tags/c/announcements/67/release-notes?before=0

Or perhaps

https://meta.discourse.org/c/announcements/67?tags=release-notes&before=0

If you leave out the id, it’ll match by slug, which, I think, the way that category urls worked when the code was written.

If you update to Latest, I think this should be fixed now.
