Hey Andreas,
Thanks for the hard work so far. I will try to get in touch with the OpenSuse packagers to see why they are not using the latest version. In the meantime you can either compile it yourself (if you need help just ask here) or wait.
If you have windows and downloaded the latest package you should be fine.
If you want the bleeding edge (SVN) version you can get it by following the instructions on the wiki. I guess you could try to convert a deb to a rpm with alien but I don't recommand it.
You can also use https://software.opensuse.org/package/snapd to download @oSoMoN snap package. You should have both the last release and the dev version there.
