The ubuntu ppa for dev given in help pages, https://launchpad.net/~geany-dev/+archive/ubuntu/ppa, contains only old versions <= 1.27. I have already tried to follow the installation with make, etc. but it doesn't work (probably my misunderstanding...). So I still use 1.27 where I want to use 1.29 :-) Is there a way to help (with my unknowledge of C, I use geany for web development) updating the ppa? Thanks for that great product indeed!
