Maxim Dounin also added the following notes on the Nginx mailing list in regards to the 1.2.x stable branch:

First version of the 1.2.x stable branch has been released.
The 1.2.0 version incorporates many new features developed in
the 1.1.x branch, including the following:

– support for keepalive connections to upstream servers,
– consolidation of multiple simultaneous requests to upstream
servers if caching is used,
– support for multiple request and connection limits used
simultaneously,
– reduced memory consumption in various edge cases like
handling of long-lived requests.

These executable files are provided to support legacy users who still use the Cygwin based builds. Official native Windows builds are available and supported at nginx.org.

If you are new to Nginx on Windows, please use the native Windows builds which are fully supported and available for download at nginx.org.
