No, sorry, you will have to move to -current to obtain newer functionality prior to 5.8 release. By definition, -stable never includes any new features or functionality.* It only contains patches that affect reliability, availability, and security.

The only difference between -stable and -release+errata is that -stable may include additional patches which are not of sufficiently broad impact to justify an errata posting.

* The -stable branch includes the ports tree. There may be new features in a -stable port, only because an upstream project has addressed a critical CVE with a new version of their application.
