Being not the latest version is not a bug by itself, see the openSUSE Maintenance policy. Reporter, please indicate which bug exactly you want to have fixed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

But while I understand that a stable distribution will not always have the latest versions of things, it seems very strange to me that the package has not been updated since 2012, since the upstream seems to have been continuously making releases roughly every 6 months or so since then. I looked on software.opensuse.org, and it seems that the Tumbleweed version is also outdated, albeit not by as much; it is using the August 2015 release. (In addition to the October release, there was also and April 2016 release since then.) If this is all considered normal, then go ahead and mark this bug as invalid. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Maybe we need a current version for the next openSUSE release and SLES 13, certainly in the devel repo. Maybe Petr finds the time, or you can have a try at it yourself and help with package maintenance if you are an active user. It sure is a valuable learning opportunity. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
