Small update from my September post.
As you may know, Canonical freezes software packages a few weeks before a new distribution comes out.Only security updates will be installed after the freeze.
If you want new fectures for your software, you need to install a ppa.
To add a repository on your system the new way (9.10 and higher) all you do is “sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge”
Some software on this list may no longer be updated for older systems.
1: Chromium - Stable: ppa:chromium-daily/stable [10.04+]
2: Firefox - Stable: ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [10.04+]
