Maybe an unfair presumption... but I don't have the impression that Jaxel is particularly responsive. Especially so when it comes to user modifications of features that he didn't really want to add in the first place.
Either way, there are plenty of requests for <1.4.2 releases in the old release thread and references to links where old copies can be found, but I can only assume they've been scrubbed from the thread.
I figured it would just be better to crowd-source the request.
