Solution 3:

As man apt-get describes it, apt-get update will resynchronize the package index files from their sources while apt-get upgrade will install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in your package list aforementioned.

As described in other answers, if you want a newest version than the one in standard packages of your distribution, you have to either edit your sources lists, add a new PPA, install from more recent binaries or compile from source.
