How do I keep Geany's versions updated after installing it in my system?

When will Geany 0.21 be in the repos, instead of Geany 0.20? Whose responsibility is it, Ubuntu or Geany?

I wasn't sure of where I could get packages information, so I just used Ask Ubuntu.

After the release of an Ubuntu version packages are only updated for security and big fixes. No further release is done for individual packages.

If you want to keep Geany up to date you need to add a PPA. Luckily Geany keeps a developers PPA that has the version you are looking for.

Install it by using these commands on a terminal

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:geany-dev/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install geany geany-plugins
