You are using the LTS release. Unless there is a significant reason to upgrade the version (huge security / bug fixes) the version will remain the same.

There may be a PPA with the version you desire but these will be compiled by Dave Somebody out on the web.

If you want newer packages then you will need to use the latest release, even if it isn't LTS. If you can wait until April next year, 16.04 will be released and you can upgrade to that in one jump (LTS to LTS upgrades are supported and recommended).

I had not thought of some of the requirements for ensuring LTS and this all makes perfect sense. Thank you very much for the clarification, the support of this package, and the timely response!
