Honestly not sure - if there is a new release in the PPA I suspect
you'll get notified but I run master most of the time. I do have a ppa
install of 4.2. rc right now and don't get annoying warnings despite it
not being the newest RC. If you talk to devs they'll almost always
suggest sticking with the PPA - we've had reports that downloads from
libreoffice instead of through ppa can cause some issue (particularly
with Unity but in general just best to stick with ppa IMHO).

Best,
