Depricated releases?

I know the main t2d download page has a depricated release, but the tutorials seem to use code that was from a release in between that one and the current build. Is there anywhere I can download that version of t2d? It seems like it should still be around since a majority of the tutorials seem to refer to it (or them, I suppose).
Torque is the best thing that's happened to indy game development in a long time. TDN is showing great potential. I guess that will serve as a lead in to my next question. Is it realistic to think that T2D is going to stabilize to the point where it makes sense for folks to keep the tutorials updated anytime soon? I know many folks here can pick there way through the differences in the code and make sense of things, but as a beginner, the stuff on TDN is the source of much frustration for folks that spend their time looking for referenced files or bits of code that for one reason or another don't exist in the current build.

I certainly realized what I was getting into when I purchased an early adopter release of T2D. I'm really glad to see that beta3 is on it's way so quickly (this has been a really agressive release schedule, hasn't it?). I will continue to tinker and wait patiently for the docs to bare fruit.

My guess is that with beta 3 (and the massive push for documentation updates) that things will have 'stabilized' and further beta releases would mostly be for bug fixes and such.
I think everyone is aware that the out of date state of the documentation is fustrating to newcomers of TGB. It's one of the unfortunate aspects of still being in Early Adopter. So until everything gets polished up for the final release, feel free to ask questions here.
