Older releases can be obtained by using the offset parameter in the download page. For example, download page from 7 days ago:

+
http://download.slicer.org/?offset=-7
+ +

To get a direct download link of previous revision on a selected operating system:

+
http://download.slicer.org/download?os=macosx&stability=any&offset=-1
+ +

+ Always include these parameters: +

+ + + + + + + + + , macosx, or win + + +
stabilityThe stability of the version. It can be one of release, nightly, or any
osThe operating system. It can be one of linux
+

+ Additional options: +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
dateRevision built before or on the date, e.g. date=2015-01-01
checkout-dateA checkout date, e.g. checkout-date=2015-02-01
revisionThe exact revision number, e.g. revision=27000
closest-revisionA revision less than of equal, e.g. closest-revision=26000
versionThe latest revision of a branch, e.g. version=4.3
+ +

Any of these queries can be combined with the offset param, which will step forward or backward a given number of revisions. So, stability=release&version=4.5.0&offset=-1 should give the revision just before the first 4.5 release.

Does Slicer work for non-English computing?

+

Not yet: Slicer uses US English conventions. Specifically this means that directory paths should use ASCII characters only. However, there is some planning about internationalization that can be useful in order to allow this in Slicer.
