We don't update the get-deps.sh recommended version whenever APR makes a release; we only update that in the run-up to a 1.x.0 release and when upstream APR has a high-severity bug. Consequently, it's common that even on the day a Subversion release is made, its get-deps.sh wouldn't point to the latest APR version, but to whichever was latest at the time of the preceding 1.x.0.
