That’s entirely a fedora thing. The primary act of a linux distribution is the selecting and bundling of software, and they pick the versions to make available. Some of them try to stay very in sync with the software they include and some update less frequently. Fedora’s offical distributions have 1.1 as their latest revision.
Your options are to either add a different repository source that’s not directly managed by fedora, install the software not from package, or to switch distributions to one that ships a more current mercurial.
