I second that sentiment - unless you are intentionally looking for
regressions, you are better off sticking with the latest stable version.
But if you really must, see ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils for all stable
releases.

And for history before that, look at fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils.

Or use git's magic ability to create a snapshot of any stage of the code
development from years past.  For example, to grab textutils 1.8b, go to
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commit;h=6e1a4cca6862fa1fb40b4c38b73fa30ebb61344b
and click the snapshot link
(http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=snapshot;h=6e1a4cca6862fa1fb40b4c38b73fa30ebb61344b),
representing a release on 17 Oct 1993.
