Assuming that you have a reasonably normal system you will get security 
updates automatically.  I have Compiz 0.9.7 on Ubuntu 12.04.  If you 
want a newer version; start with a newer verison of Ubuntu, enable 
backports, maybe add an untrusted PPA from Launchpad.  If you are 
despirate for the latest and the greatest you will have to get involved 
with development - and be prepared fro breakages.

Have you looked at all of the configuration options in your sofware 
updater?
