If you want the latest *stable* version, as you say in your first paragraph, then you got it. 3.9.2 is the latest stable Gambas release. On the other hand, if you want the latest SVN revision (aka "/trunk", or more verbosely "unstable development snapshot"), as you say in the remainder of your mail, you have to use a different PPA, called "gambas-daily". Before I explain it with my own words, did you read the wiki page [1] ?
