db browser sqlite on 16.04

Question

I recently upgraded from ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04. And found db browser for sqlite to be version 3.7.0 While it was 3.9.99 with 14.04

(and current version is 3.10.1)

Any reason it was switched back to such an earlier version ?

Thanks ! Chris

I'm assuming by "db browser for sqlite", you mean "sqlitebrowser"

From https://packages.ubuntu.com

Package sqlitebrowser

You can see the versions available for each release.

I'm guessing that you may have used a ppa, such as this one or some other source if you had versions as you mention in
