Even this "new" version is now old. It was released at the end of
2017, and there have been four releases since.

You should check all the release notes:

Under the notes for version 3.13.1, (released in December 2015), you
will find this:

* A hidden pref has been added, 'next_on_delete'. This controls the
  message selection when a message is deleted. A setting of '0'
  which cause the previous, older message to be selected, a setting
  of '1' will cause the next, newer message to be selected.
