FYI, nginx 1.19.10 has been forked to 1.20.0 stable so both versions are currently the same.

Centmin Mod doesn't use stable nginx versions but the mainline versions which was nginx 1.19 mainline but will soon be nginx 1.21.0. nginx mainline versions are always the odd major versions 1.15, 1.17, 1.19, 1.21 while stable are even numbers 1.14, 1.16., 1.18 and 1.20. So currently nginx 1.19.10 mainline = 1.20.0 stable = 1.21.0 mainline all three for specific minor versions are the exact same code.

So really is no need to update from nginx 1.19.10 to 1.20.0 or 1.21.0 other than cosmetic version numbers. The branches will start to diverge from next minor releases so 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 would start to have differences as mainline versions get ALL bug and security fixes and new features while stable only get some bug fixes and no new features.

 

Updated 123.09beta01 to ensure nginx 1.20 stable works with same detected patch support as nginx 1.19 mainline. You can update 123.09beta01 via running cmupdate command then run centmin.sh menu option 4 to recompile nginx if need be. Though as I said above currently nginx 1.19.10 mainline = 1.20.0 stable = 1.21.0 mainline all three for specific minor versions are the exact same code.

 

haha caught it before my post edit
