Hey Tsuru,

It's not available yet, but we're planning to add this functionality.
 
Our plan is to update the list of supported components closer to RTM. Consider this: if we work on supporting 9.5.2.1 right now, it will be, say, 9.5.5 by the time RTM rolls out, and we'll have to do an extra amount of work to support 9.5.5 (or whatever the latest version will be), at least in terms of QA. So, in general, it's more efficient for us to support latest versions of all 3rd parties late in the development cycle to avoid overhead.

Of course, if a third party update is big and it looks like it will make a big splash (sidenote: "splash" is "plesk" in Russian, hehe), we'll try to check it ASAP, but with minor versions it's better to wait a bit until we're closer to release.
