Understood.
The best thing for me to do is to wait for the gurus to do their work.
Thanks!

Just an explanatory side note, the Geany project does not make the
packages for distros, we don't have any specialists in packaging, and
each distro is different. So we rely on external packagers, so
packaging speed depends on their availability.

I currently have 1.38 on my system. I received an email stating that 2.0 has

I'd like to upgrade, but this
sudo apt --only-upgrade install geany
states that 1.38 is the latest release, and that my system is up to date.
Geany is in neither the flatpak nor the snap installed-app list.
How shall I proceed?
If you want geany 2.0 'right now' then you will have to download the
source code and compile it yourself.
On the other hand if you wait a bit the program will wend its way
through the various levels of
availability.
(Not knowledgeable in ubuntu (haven't had ties with Canonical in a
number of years now) but
geany 2.0 isn't even in debian sid yet. My guess is that it will take
at least a couple weeks (if not even longer)
for the packaging crew to get geany 2.0 into debian sid. It will park
there until it is proven that it
'plays nice' with the rest of debian for anywhere from a couple to 4
or maybe even 5 weeks when
it now moves to debian 'testing'. By that time iirc it should also be
available in ubuntu but that depends upon
the proving testing in the specific ubuntu testing so dunno any specifics!!)
Would suggest patience unless you really really really need some of
the new features.
Then download and compile (and install).
