Installing NGINX from source
NGINX downloads are available for two separate branches of NGINX code—stable
and development. The development branch is the one in which active development is
taking place. Here is where new features will be found and integrated before finding
their way into the stable branch. When a "development" version is released, it has
undergone the same QA and a similar set of functional tests as the stable branch,
so either branch may be used on production systems. The major difference between
the two branches lies in the support of third-party modules. The internal API may
change in the development release, whereas it stays the same on the stable branch, so
backward compatibility for third-party modules is only available for stable releases.
