No. It is not possible to officially upgrade to new releases of software 
(like Gramps) in Ubuntu, except for some special cases like Firefox & 
Chrome. This would make Ubuntu very unstable.

We can fix serious bugs using the Stable Release Update (SRU) process:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

These are the updates you see every time you do an apt update. They are 
small, targeted updates that fix serious bugs, or security issues.

Cheers,

Ross
