There is no official information on the subject, but if you need some newer software versions, you can get them from RPMForge. Automated RPMForge repository installation script is available here: http://wiki.centos.org/VladislavRastrusny/AutoRPMForgeRepo.

If some packages are protected when you try to update them, you can use

--disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rpmforge

switches to temporarily disable all repositories and their protection.
