Pacman does not upgrade AUR packages.  Only packages from core, extra, 
or community.  So you need to manually update AUR packages.

So what you should do is create an account for yourself on the AUR, then 
log in to the site, go to the page for that package, and click "notify". 
  Then you'll be notified when new messages appear on that package's AUR 
page - and so you'll find out when the PKGBUILD has been upgraded to a 
new version.
