While I understand that you're excited about new features and bug fixes you should hold your horses and wait until upstream deems their software ready (by issuing a release).

@devrtz so true. (as a newbie) I wonder if there are nightly builds people (not maintainers) can opt into to get these 'new features' and WIPs?
Or would that be too much of a hassle for developers of core components?
For more experimental stuff there is also the experimental (or octarine) suite.
One word of warning:
You should know what you're doing when altering your apt sources. Otherwise you can end up with a Frankendebian -> https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
