Re: How to install some old version of web2py?

[Massimo Di Pierro]

web2py.com/examples/static/<version>/web2py_src.zip

web2py.com/examples/static/<version>/web2py_win.zip

web2py.com/examples/static/<version>/web2py_osx.zip

for example:

web2py.com/examples/static/1.99.7/web2py_src.zip

We do not keep all of the old one. Only some. Try the one you need.

Is there some repository of old web2py versions exists?

ps: if you need the sourcecode, on http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/list there are from 1.77.1 onwards, on https://github.com/web2py/web2py/ from 1.99.3
if you don't want to fiddle with mercurial or git (but you should :P) ready-to-download source archives for 1.99.3 to 2.2.1 are here https://github.com/niphlod/web2py/tags

In other words, learn git and then you can effortlessly move between any version you want. The time spent learning this is a huge payoff. mercurial is probably just as good, I can't speak for it.

the last chapter of the book has some pointers.

+1 for git but one doesn't need knowledge just to download versions.

github serves out 29 releases up until 2.0.2 (2 years ago) and google code to 1.77.1 (whoa, 4 years ago)

Just "tested" it, takes for github
- 1 click on this link https://github.com/web2py/web2py/releases
- 1 click on the provided zip/tar links
while for googlecode
- 1 click on this link http://code.google.com/p/web2py/source/list
- 1 click on the "tag" select
- 1 click to choose the version
- 1 click on the "download zip" adiacent

To be sure to cut off now and for any foreseeable future "lazy click guys" requesting a specific release, I just made a 1-click-solution for @all

NB: those are "tagged" releases, meaning that at some point in time were released. There are a few releases that lived shortly because of some bugs (corrected in a later release): this means effectively that you'll need to read the CHANGELOG (if you haven't done already) to realize that the smart move is ALWAYS choose the latest release :-P
