 * For now this is only the release candidate, it will be updated to 1.13 when 1.13.0 will be released. i Alex  18:13, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

was using this for semi automatic update script
since this is "Lua powered" the RAW output doesn't include the actual stable branch number anymore, therefor my script is failing to fetch it. Any ideas/sources where to get the current stable branch number (or the a "latest" download link?)
 * You can use the expandtemplates API module to get the raw number: . Legoktm (talk) 02:31, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
