Fantastico updates regularly all of its applications and it takes up to several weeks for the latest versions to become available.
Please bear in mind that Fantastico does not offer Beta versions of any applications.
Still, if you are a SiteGround customer you can benefit from the Softaculous Auto-Installer which we provide to our clients. The Softaculous developers provide up-to-date scripts versions much faster than the Fantastico support team.
Also, Softaculous comes with a larger array of applications. You can review our Softaculous tutorial here.
