I could be wrong, but I don't think older versions are kept.  That is user
responsibility.  You can check out the code from svn though.

Technically, the stable release should be frozen, but we still allow bug
fixes, so in practice there is some change.  This is unfortunate in terms
of complete reproducibility.  If you want that, you really need to archive
everything you download.

Best,
Kasper
