This is common in the Stable release.
If you want the latest pkgs, you need to use testing (stretch) or 
experimental/unstable (sid)
For some things, you can get newer pkgs from backports:
see https://backports.debian.org/
Or, for some things, sometimes you can get away with installing upstream 
pkgs (from the actual project/developers).
this is what I do for OmegaT, which is important for my work, and it's 
only dependency is a working jre. The current upstream release is 3.06, 
whereas the version in Jessie is still 2.3, which is several years old. 
with some things you really have to be careful about dependency 
conflicts if you try to use upstream pkgs.
