Kdenlive won't update on Ubuntu 16.04

When i install kdenlive, i get version 15.12.13. I have added the ppa

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable

I've updated and upgraded in the terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

But it does not upgrade kdenlive. The software updater does not give an update either.

I think you're not receiving any updates because you're already on the latest version of kdenlive that was packaged for Xenial.

I looked at the kdenlive-stable repository and it looks like they're only packaging updates for Cosmic (now EOL), Disco, and Eoan.

However, I also saw on the developers' website that they publish a daily AppImage.

So, if you want the latest and greatest, you can upgrade to Disco or Eoan, or alternatively, install kdenlive via their AppImage.
