Most advanced CyanogenMod users must already installed CM13 nightlies on their device, but for those of you who prefer stability and are still on Lollipop-based CM12.1, here is some good news: the CM team has started rolling out a new snapshot build of the ROM.

Based on Android 5.1, the latest snapshot builds of CyanogenMod 12.1 bring with them security patches and some relatively minor new features.

Being a snapshot build, you can be rest assured that they are completely stable for day-to-day usage. As for now, the CM12.1 snapshot builds are only available for the a handful of Motorola devices, though expect builds for other devices to rollout over the next few hours/days.
