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