There used to be a release for version 2.5.2 of SPD on github. However, if I go to https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases, I do not see it there anymore. Why is this?

I do see a tag for 2.5.2 at https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases/tag/v2.5.2, but while this provides the source code, it does not provide any compiled executables. Why is this?

Also, I am thinking about keeping 2 versions of SPD on my GNU/Linux computer at the same time. One would be version 2.5.2, since that version is the last version with the stone of disarming. The other would be the latest version, 3.0.2. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to separate those two so that the progress and save files are separate? In theory, I suppose I can run one of them in a virtual machine. Is that the best approach, or are there better options?

Thank you for your help.

I only include the most recent patch for each update, to reduce clutter. Patches generally only have bugfixes or small changes, so there's little point in including all of them.

If you like, you could build v2.5.2 yourself, or use the latest release of v2.4. Building the game yourself would also make it fairly easy to change the directory it saves to.

Thanks. Good point about changing the directory it saves to.
