The hiding is done by packagers. Old links to the individual files still
work, but they are not shown on the Download page. Else we'd have about
6 more releases for each distro, which would be a huge mess (unless we
sort them by release instead of distro, but I'm not the one asking
that).

Here's the link for 0618 (Marcus explains why the version is 0619 in his
release notes) for SUSE Linux 8.1:
