If you want to enjoy all the new features, you can always build the dashboard from the upstream (git repo). The good thing with the horizon dashboard is that you can always work with the master branch. You won’t encounter any problems given that the Horizon dashboard only relies on the APIs, if there is something that you can’t do or if you get prompted by an error, it just means that your OpenStack version is too old. Then the feature that you’re trying to access is not available.
