Hello,

where can I find old major versions for example https://exiftool.org/Image-ExifTool-10.63.tar.gz and how long is version 10.x supported.

CPAN keeps a history of production versions - as far as I can see 10.63 wasn't a production version but 10.55 and 11.00 are available.

I periodically erase old versions from the web site.

In general, old versions are not supported, but backward compatibility to old versions is a major goal in development.

Why is it that you want to use 10.63?

Unless you are using undocumented features of ExifTool, then newer versions should work fine for you (better, even, as there could be some bug fixes).  If not, please let me know.

I've just moved the ExifTool web site to a server with unlimited storage, and it is now hosting all previously released versions of ExifTool -- all the way back to version 1.0.  At the moment, that's a total of 1811 distribution packages.
