Question #268037 on squid3 in Ubuntu changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
"The latest" doesn't mean a lot in Ubuntu. If a package is working and
has no significant identified issues or bugs then it will remain.

In Ubuntu (especially in the LTS releases), stability is champion. There
may be a PPA with a newer version and you are free to use these at your
own risk.

Ubuntu is not a roiling release distribution and packages rarely stay
bang up to date.

What exact feature do you need in the newer version that isn't in the
current version?

If you report a bug and the bug fixes are desirable then the package
mayl be updated sooner.
