MacOS – Downloading old Safari point releases (Ex: 8.0.4)

macossafarivmware

I am attempting to build VMware Fusion images with each recent point release of Safari. I've had success with the versions bundled with OS X updates (10.10.1, 10.10.2) but I am not sure if it's possible to download a point release that has been superseded by a release in an OS X update. I've found version history with knowledge base documents for each version, but haven't found a way to download them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari_version_history

Example:

  • 10.10 shipped with Safari 8.0 (10600.1.25)
  • 10.10.1 had Safari 8.0 (10600.1.25.1)
  • Safari 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 were in security updates – KB HT204421 and HT204424
  • 10.10.2 had Safari 8.0.3 (10600.3.18)
  • Safari 8.0.4 was in a security update – https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204560
  • 10.10.3 has Safari 8.0.5 (10600.5.17)
