How could I update the Shutter 0.99.2-4 which is included in the ZorinOS APT software 'store'.
I am trying to see if there is a way to get the newer/newest 0.99.5-1 which is referred to on the Shutter Releases page.
Zorin 17 (released 12/2023) is based on Ubuntu LTS 22.04 FYI.
I installed Shutter 0.99.2-4 from the Zorin APT store and that is the only version/repo source listed.
Ubuntu Shutter releases all show 0.99.2-4 for both LTS 22 and LTS 24. There is a single reference to 0.99.5-1 for "Oracular" which I am guessing is the next, in-dev version of Ubuntu.
Is there a way for me to update Shutter on my Zorin 17.1 to this newer Shutter?
Will it be a better user experience?

And, 2.)
Currently, when I use Shutter, it will only take a full DESKTOP screenshot. the "Selection" menubar item is grayed-out, and offers the tool-tip of: "Can't take screenshots without X11 server".
If I am able to update Shutter to v 0.99.5-1, will it be better?
Or is there some other step I need to take to have Shutter be more functional?
