What to upgrade to
Go to 1.31.
1.31 is the newest supported nginx cycle.
Before you upgrade
Even minor versions are stable, odd ones mainline; each gets fixes until the next of its kind. Ubuntu and Debian packages keep an older version and backport security fixes, so check the distro’s support instead.
