A pleasant, but confusing surprise

Today I ran my updates and to my surprise Electrum upgraded from 1.9.8 to 2.4.4 and I don't know why. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy it did. I thought I was going to have to wait another 2 years to get the latest version.

But my understanding is that only security updates and other bugs get updated. I thought that stable versions didn't get updated. Why haven't other programs gotten new stable updates, like Jitsi? Tribler, etc.?

Thanks!

The helper that brings electrum to trisquel, get it from debian testing, check it here:

https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers/blob/belenos/helpers/make-electrum#L21

So, when a new version is avaliable there, it's built and imported into Trisquel. There are other helpers that bring packages from external repos, and all have the same behaviour.

Thanks for your reply. It might be a little over my head, but why do some programs i.e. Electrum have "helpers" and others i.e. Jitsi do not?
