When will the lighttpd be updated on xenial

[Cadence]

Hi,

The latest version of lighttpd available for xenial is 1.4.35 from April 
2016. There were lots of new lighttpd versions since then. Most notably 
for me, 1.4.42 introduced mod_authn_mysql authentication. When will this 
version be available for ubuntu xenial?
Is there any other repository where I can get the latest version? Or is 
installing from source the only option for me (I don't really want to go 
that way because of maintenance issues).

Thanks,
Cadence
