You can also get older releases 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:

stability, which can be release, nightly, or any
os, which can be win, macosx, or linux
Additional options:

revision built before or on the date: date=2015-01-01
same but checkout date: checkout-date=2015-02-01
exact revision: revision=27000
revision less than of equal: closest-revision=26000
latest revision of 4.3 branch, can include patch as well: 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 you the revision just before the first 4.5 release.

Where can I download older release of Slicer ?
Older releases of 3DSlicer are available here: https://slicer-packages.kitware.com/#collection/5f4474d0e1d8c75dfc70547e/folder/5f4474d0e1d8c75dfc705482

Extensions can be downloaded for old Slicer releases manually from the Extensions Catalog at the URL: https://extensions.slicer.org/catalog/All/(revision_number)/(operating_system). Revision number is available in Slicer menu: Help / About Slicer (or in the Slicer Releases page). Operating system can be: win, linux, or macosx. For example for Slicer-4.8.0 on Windows extensions are available at: https://extensions.slicer.org/catalog/All/26489/win

Does Slicer work for non-English computing?
At this point no, Slicer uses US English conventions. Specifically this means that directory paths should use ASCII characters only.

There has been some discussion and planning about internationalization but it is not yet available:
