Tor stable version question

In my Gateway I ran the following command
tor -v
output: Tor 0.4.7.13

After checking on the tor website I saw their latest version is 0.4.8.7 (source - torproject.or*/download/tor/)

May I ask when will Whonix update tor to this version?

On further research I think debian uses LTS Tor version so one assumes the answer is when they have updated the LTS version.

(Whonix is based on Kicksecure.)

Development question. Will be discussed here:
