I think you need to file a bug report and request the new version to be put in the tree and eventually made stable. Of course, if it is really new, it may be in a overlay for testing too. Some put them in the overlay to test then move them over to the tree a bit later if there are no problems or weird dependency problems. I think there is a fancy command to get that info but can't recall it at the moment. I bet someone will post it tho. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
