pandoc 1.8.1.1-1ubuntu2 is now in Oneiric Ocelot (the development version of Ubuntu, to be released as Ubuntu 11.10 in October). See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pandoc.
The Ubuntu project's policy is to make release-specific updates available to fix security vulnerabilities and severe stability/usability bugs, but not to incorporate newer upstream versions into stable releases (unless they only have those kinds of changes), and not to provide new features. This maximizes stability, reliability, and predictability. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for details. Therefore, pandoc will not be updated to version 1.8.1.1 in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal or any earlier Ubuntu releases. However, if any security vulnerabilities, or severe stability/usability bugs, have been fixed in pandoc 1.8.1.1, then an update to pandoc in supported Ubuntu releases should be released, incorporating just those fixes. If you believe that is the case, please file a new bug report against pandoc in Ubuntu, and provide details about the bugs that have been fixed. Separately, users may enable backports repositories that do provide new versions of software, including new features and significant changes in interface and functionality. Since pandoc 1.8.1.1 is now in Oneiric, it may qualify for incorporation into the lucid-backports, maverick- backports, and/or natty-backports repositories. For more information on this, including information about how to request backporting, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports. Please search first to see if a request has already been made, before submitting one yourself. ** Changed in: pandoc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Tags added: oneiric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/786613 Title: Update pandoc package to 1.8.1.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pandoc/+bug/786613/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
