The naming scheme is described here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_Process#Version_numbering

So really what you are asking is: should you point people at 12.1 or 13.1?

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Releases shows you that 12.1 is the latest
stable, and 13.1 is in development. So it depends if you are working
with users or developers...

The devel at lists.laptop.org list has build announcements - thats the
best place to keep up with whats going on. In this case build 13 was
never announced; the build 12 announcement did mention that build 13
would be XO-4 only.

Your mistake here would be that you are looking for 12.1 files in a
13.1.0 directory. You can find 12.1 final on
http://download.laptop.org or on the link you include below:

That is the 12.1 final release.

Thats 13.1.0 build 14, the latest announced 13.1 development build.
