Hi Robie,
thank you for your answer.
I just wondered why there isn't the newest stable version in the repository.
But in terms of overall Ubuntu's stability it now makes sense for me.
I just saw the new "self-update" function in the newest version 0.9.3 on
github.
It's a function to update restic manually to the newest stable binary
available.
Greetings,
Florian

The version in Cosmic is newer. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for Ubuntu's policies and
rationale for updates to existing stable Ubuntu releases. If you have
any questions after reading that page, feel free to ask them here.
The version 0.8.3 doesn't even have the included self-update feature.
I don't know what that is, but it sounds like it'd be a feature disabled
in most distributions as not doing so would violate the stable
distribution update policy.
HTH,
Robie
