Linux Lite Forums

Hello, I'm new to the forums although I have been using linux lite for around 10 months now. I guess the fact that I haven't been here before says a lot about my experinece using Linux Lite - yes, I like it a lot! Now, my problem is that I used to use freemind a lot, but the version in the repositories is an (very) old one so I moved on to Freeplane which I find has some better features. However, again the version in the repositories is 1.3.15-3 while the current version is 1.5.18. If I try to install newer versions I run into library problems. Can the developers have a look into updating these for me or give me some tips on how I can install the most up to date versions myself please? I am currently running Freeplane in a XP VM which isn't ideal. On another note I have hoped that the use of Snap might mean that packaging might become easier - is this an avenue worth persuing?

Thanks and keep up the good work on this fast efficient distribution!
