By "recent" you apparently mean "newer than unstable". That's *not* how things work - testing should at all times be no newer than unstable. Backporting the current sid package to stretch might make sense, parachuting in a new upstream direct to testing does not. I'm seriously tempted to remove the package from tpu right now.
