I can beat that. I've got Kubuntu Dapper booted up on the other machine at the
moment, and the latest version available is 1.4.5b-1ubuntu1. It's nice that
it's available on Debian, and Kubuntu, but if, as they are, the versions are
so old, it makes more sense to build it from your latest tarball on Kubuntu,
as I do on my Fedora installs. It seems to defeat the object of making an app
available on a distro, if it can't be maintained to a reasonably recent
version.
I think I'll install the 1.4.5b version, and see if I can break it, then build
the 1.4.13 version on Kubuntu.
It's a nice useable app Magnus, and I think the package maintainers are doing
you an injustice in making it seem that the versions they have available are
the "latest", which is just not true.
All the best.
Nigel.
