Ubuntu
pandoc package

Outdated version

Asked by Hazem

The Pandoc version here is outdated. It's stuck at v1.17.2 (from July, 2016), while the latest version is v1.19.2.1 (February, 2017).
(All versions: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/)

Is there anyway to update it?

I suggest you report a bug. If the security and bug fixes are significant then the package will be updated sooner rather than later.

Is there any chance for the package to be updated in `trusty` or `xenial`?

Same process applies. Package updates in the LTS releases are rare and packages are often left

Ubuntu isn't a rolling release distribution.
