For those wishing to acquire some of the missing versions, I will upload what I have available of the other ones to my site. You will be able to get v2.10, v4.00, v5.10, v7.00, etc.....
By all means, I would like a complete set, so I'm interested if you have some I don't. I may have some earlier ones also, I need to study my hard drive a bit more carefully. Between us maybe we can get close to a complete set.
The how about completing the set of downloads so that it has all possible versions that have ever been made publicly available??
I think it's close to that now except the very latest ones. Of course if you are referring to the last few years, there are many more. I have a very complete collection of those. There's actually a lot of value in having more than the "official releases" available. The development team has context diffs for each patch. The value of all these incremental versions is that using a binary search strategy one can narrow down the exact patch in which some future broke, as in the deep zoom bug issue. That requires building each source directory and making the executable. By making the whole set of executables available, the user community can help track this sort of thing down. Tim
