Really? The stable version? If you are getting 1-3 updates per week you
are probably using Daily's?:

 Regarding 3 years out of date:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/files/FreeCAD%20Linux/

012 wasn't available in Nov 2011:
<http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/free-cad/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1868>
0.12 was releasted in Dec 2011 (it appears that they start with Windows
versions first):
<http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/free-cad/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2058>

0.13 (unstable) ~Feb 2012:
<http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/free-cad/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2304>
Feature freeze for 0.13:
<http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/free-cad/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3257>
And after release 0.13 will be available here:
<https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintainers/+archive/freecad-stable>

So it appears to me that the stable repo versions are pretty much up to
date from 12.04 onward:
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freecad>
Upstream:
