Targeting dot releases or specific betas

Question

Can Nimbus experiments/rollouts target specific beta releases, i.e. can I express "roll this out to everyone on 104b6 and later"?

Answer

Yes.

Here is where you can learn about our dot release version naming pattern by platform (so is the first dot release x.1.0 or x.0.1)

If you are a mobile engineer, see steps here for how to add a version. To find how the version numbers work for your platform check https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/docs/shared/versioning.md.

Otherwise, file an issue here to add a specific version (of beta, nightly, or release) and then ping in #ask-experimenter on Slack.

The version requested will get added as an option to the Minimum Version and Maximum Version drop down menues. It is a minor and quick change. By default Experimenter (Nimbus) only exposes the whole valued versions, until requested.
