Official article for Nginx 1.12 stable and 1.13 mainline release NGINX 1.12 and 1.13 Released

Seems 1.13 isn't out yet though from nginx news ! Centmin Mod Nginx will be moving from 1.11.x to 1.13.x when 1.13.0 and higher are officially available

Today we’re pleased to announce the availability of open source NGINX 1.12 and 1.13. These version numbers define the stable and mainline branches, respectively, of the NGINX open source software. We will focus on developing and improving these two branches for the next 12 months.

NGINX version 1.12.0 was released today, and the next feature release of our mainline branch will be numbered 1.13.0.

NGINX Version Numbering Overview
NGINX, Inc. manages two NGINX source code branches:

The even‑numbered version (1.12) is our stable branch. This branch is updated only when critical issues or security vulnerabilities need to be fixed. For example, during the past year only three minor updates were made to the 1.10 stable branch.

The odd‑numbered version (1.13) is the mainline branch. This branch is actively developed; new minor releases (1.13.1, 1.13.2, etc.) are made approximately every 4 to 6 weeks, regularly introducing new features and enhancements.

Each year, we create a new fork from our mainline branch which becomes the new stable branch. Version 1.12.0 is forked from 1.11.13, the last release of the prior mainline branch (1.11). The previous stable branch, 1.10, is now deprecated and we will no longer be updating or supporting it. Development will continue on the 1.13 mainline branch.

We generally recommend using the mainline branch. This is where we commit all new features, performance improvements, and enhancements. We actively test and QA the mainline branch, so it’s arguably more stable than the “stable” branch. The mainline branch is also the source of NGINX Plus builds for our commercial customers.

If you want to minimize the number of updates you need to deploy and don’t anticipate an urgent need for any of the features planned for the next 12 months, the stable branch is a good choice.
