The first release of the Staticfile buildpack after 2021-07-05 will no longer include NGINX versions 1.18.x and 1.19.x. These NGINX versions will no longer be supported upstream[1]. Please migrate your Static content apps to supported versions of NGINX before that time.

Note: As 1.19.x is the current default version of NGINX in the buildpack, the default NGINX version will be updated to 1.20.x as a part of this removal. If you’d like to use a different NGINX version, please configure your application to select that version[2].

As always, the buildpacks team is happy to answer questions you may have about this deprecation in the #buildpacks Slack channel[3].
