If you are on Ubuntu (and derivatives) and don't mind to add an extra repository to your system, you could install it from PlayDeb.net.
Here's the link on how to install the repo:

After adding the repository, you can install the fresh version from your terminal, software center, Synaptic or whatever you prefer after updating your software sources. (sudo apt-get update)

). Also keep in mind, that they might need a week or two until they put up updates to their repository.

The also have an application repository...
