Library Releases
The history of Library Releases are shown in the table below. Crypto++ was started in Wei Dai's CVS server, but the history was lost. All we have are ZIP files with file times from the period. Then, Crypto++ was migrated to Sourceforge and SVN. Finally, Crypto++ was migrated to GitHub. Sourceforge and GitHub provide an accurate history.
Nearly all of the files in the table are available for download. See the website's Download page.
The version numbers used for the library is discussed at Release Versioning. The process to release a new version of the library is discussed at Release Process.
Release History
In the table below the first column is the version, the second column is the tag name, the third column is the filesystem date. The filesystem date is the time on the server, and not the release date reported by subversion.
The fourth column is the symbolic define from config.h. The symbolic define is CRYPTOPP_VERSION. The fifth column is the filename made available for download. The sixth and seventh columns provide revision and check-in numbers, if available.

† Crypto++ added the macro CRYPTOPP_VERSION at 5.6.0.
‡ Crypto++ migrated from Sourceforge to Git in August, 2015.
†† The Crypto++ 5.0.4 FIPS DLL was not tagged in SVN. It looks like it could be R87 or R90. At R87 the README changed and added Crypto++ 5.03, which was described as "created DLL version of Crypto++ for FIPS 140-2 validation". At R90 the README changed and added Crypto++ 5.04, which was described as "Removed DES, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 from DLL". The source files used for Crypto++ 5.0.4 FIPS DLL may have come from R11. The R11 README lists Crypto++ 5.01 with the description "special FIPS 140-2 release, in development".
All Artifacts
The web server holds a number of artifacts that don't see the light of day. For example, old Borland and Code Warrior patches are still available.
