Just saw announcement of new version of dvisvgm on comp.text.tex

Since I use this program a lot, I wanted to get the latest version.

http://www.ctan.org/pkg/dvisvgm

So I just did a full update of TL 2014 on linux,

sudo /usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr  update --all

But I do not see dvisvgm being updated. There is a new version of it. Why it
does not show up in the update? I know it is not a package, but a
program. Should this not be included? Are binaries not part of tlmgr update?

Here is the link to the updated date of dvisvgm

       http://www.ctan.org/pkg/dvisvgm

1.14 2015-12-28.

After the TL update it done, I still have the old version:

dvisvgm (TeX Live) 1.9.2

But the new version is 1.14

which dvisvgm
/usr/local/texlive/2015/bin/x86_64-linux/dvisvgm

How does one get new version of dvisvgm updated as part of TL 2015?

thanks,
