The latest version of lighttpd available for xenial is 1.4.35 from April

be available for ubuntu xenial?
In Xenial? Probably never. Users of a stable release don't expect new
features to suddenly appear for most packages. If they wanted that,
they'd upgrade to a newer Ubuntu release.
The next release of Ubuntu ("Zesty"), probably in April, will probably
include lighttpd 1.4.44 or higher. Please see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for the policy and
rationale on this.
Thanks to everyone who replied to my question. I have better
understanding on how the upgrade process works in Ubuntu now. I have
read the links that you guys provided. It is pretty clear to me now.
I was able to solve my original problem without mod_authn_mysql, using
the current Lighttpd in xenial, so I don't need the new version anymore.
But all the information you provided will be useful when I have a
similar problem in the future, so thanks again.
