    That's not the kat homepage. That's the kde-look page for it. The home page is
    kat.sourceforge.net, and on

    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=131039

    you can see that 0.5.3 is available.

    kde-look is an independent web site similar to freshmeat where kde relevant
    packages may or may not be announced. It's not a site to bet your mortgage on

    No one has that responsibility. supplementary packages are provided as an
    optional extra, as and when someone feels like building. It is not a
    guaranteed service by any means

    The person building the package should be visible in the package changelog
