Access to older released versions

Crystal Contrib

It feels…a bit painful to be able to install, for instance 0.24.x on any box. It would be nice if at least the apt-get packages kept older versions around for us?

I haven’t used it, but did you check crenv?

As an option, there is Docker tags, back to 0.13:

https://hub.docker.com/r/crystallang/crystal/tags/

So, depending on what your needs are, running an older project can be as simple as:

$ docker run -v $PWD:/app -w /app crystallang/crystal:0.24.2 crystal run myapp.cr

Binary packages for linux and macos are available on Github Releases.

OK nice, that’s what I needed. Confused me a bit when apt said it only had the latest available…
