I'm the upstream maintainer of GLEW, my comment is that although a lot of packages depend on GLEW, the vast majority of changes are fully backwards compatible. 1.11.0 is itself nearly one year old and is two versions behind. Fortunately for me I'm not having too much traffic about obsolete bugs, but it's fairly discouraging to see such a delay between fresh new OpenGL functionality and widespread availability to GLEW-based apps. I do think it would be good to see something newer than 1.10.0 show up in Ubuntu 16.04....
