It's not so much that you have an old version, as that you have
a rather different program altogether.
Generally when anyone on this list refers to Rosegarden they're
likely to be talking about Rosegarden-4, which is a newer and far
more sophisticated application that doesn't even have much code in
common with Rosegarden-2.1. It's still very much "in development",
but you probably won't find it any less stable than Rosegarden-2.1
anyway...
Rosegarden-4 is not included with any of the major distros yet,
but it should compile out-of-the-box on SuSE 8.1 (the majority of
core Rosegarden developers use SuSE). You may need to install
the odd extra package but nothing that isn't on the SuSE CDs.
It's a KDE application that generally installs into the KDE
directory tree (though you don't have to run KDE to use it), and
you can have both Rosegarden-2.1 and Rosegarden-4 installed at
the same time -- you just need to make sure the right one's in
your $PATH.
