The official nightly builds of CyanogenMod12 have finally started to become available to the public for various devices and the Galaxy S4 mini is one of them thanks to xda member <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3044346" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">arco68</a> who used to maintain CM10, CM10.1, CM10.2, and CM11. 
 
This news has put <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3261191" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">F4k</a>'s public builds for the 3G and LTE models at rest. In his last reply before he requested that his thread gets locked, he said the following: 
<blockquote>
Well, I'm closing this thread now that CM12 will roll out very soon and 'cause @arco68 should create an Official thread for CM12. 
Thanks so much to all you guys, I'll still building private builds for my personal use</blockquote>

As usual, we do not see serranodsdd (Duos) in the official CM12 downloads page, but we are guessing that xda member <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=943196" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">k2wl</a> will continue on releasing new unofficial builds for the Duos model.
