I wish to install the latest stable release of MATE i.e. version 1.14 in Ubuntu Mate 16.04 which has Mate version of !.12.1. Please guide. Thanks.

As far as I know there are no debs in the official repositories. So if you really want to install 1.14 you have to compile by hand. This is not difficult but if you have never done that before, I would not recommend this.

Maybe @wimpy can answer when the 1.14 will be available, as far as I know the packages have not been submitted upstream, yet.

The new answer is: In a few weeks!

See here:

MATE 1.14 built against GTK2 will come to a PPA for 16.04

In answer to all the requests, Yes, MATE 1.14 will be coming to a PPA for Ubuntu MATE 16.04. ️ However, it will be a GTK2 build to ensure nothing in your LTS gets broken. I’m not going to have access to a computer for just over a week, but the build is done. We’ll do some final testing before releasing, shouldn’t be more than 2 weeks.

There's been a few topics asking about MATE 1.14 for 16.04, so we'll keep track of this in one place.
