If you do not know the exact point-release then yes, it's a pain in the ass to 
get the older version.  The latest release at the time I was messing around 
with it was 3.2.  The release before was 2.25.  Without googling or going 
through the archives to see what the rev before was, it is a pain in the ass.

Honestly, Marcel... we're not asking you to "announce" old releases, simply 
give access to an indexed HTML or FTP directory so we can grab old versions 
as needed.  May I ask why this is such a problem for you?  Do you presume 
that the latest is always superior to the older releases and once something 
new is released nobody would ever want an older release?

I do understand that you're not fixing older versions, but you are adding more 
and more "weight" to the BlueZ stack... dbus in particular.  I intend to get 
the dbus stuff working on my particular cross-compilation environment, but to 
get it working right now I needed an older version.  You make it difficult to 
get older versions in some mistaken attempt to gain more testers, but all 
you're doing is alienating users who have the wherewithal to help.
