On a related note you can download and experiment with all historical
versions as follows:

Through the web interface

1. Browse to http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=tags and choose a
   release that sounds promising.

2. Follow the "commit" link. In the resulting page click on the
   "snapshot" link to download a .tgz file.

Through git

1. Look at all released versions using git tag -l | grep release 
2. Use 'git checkout -b work release_<whatever>' to checkout a specific
   released version
