Many of the word processors available for Linux are open-source. Their source code, including development versions, is stored in an SCM. Anybody can download the absolute latest code, even if a developer only made a change a few seconds beforehand. This makes the "latest" one impossible to track. Even if you only counted stable releases, with the variety of word processors available, any answer given here would probably only remain accurate for a week or so. You should base your choice of word processor on its feature set, not its release date. "Newer" and "latest" doesn't mean "best."
