I'd recommend taking a look at digger (https://github.com/CyberShadow/
Digger).  Not only can it automatically build old versions of D, it also 
has a bisect feature for bug hunting.

Whoa. This must be another one of those well-guarded secrets about D.
Why isn't it on a prominent page on dlang.org??! I don't know how many
times I got frustrated trying to narrow down a dmd bug, because git
bisect in dmd alone can only go back so far, before phobos/druntime stop
compiling, which throws off the whole process.

The best thing is that there's no video links, so it's really a secret!

They're on the changelog page. Click the heading for the version 
you want.

But it doesn't lead to a download of the compiler(binaries for 
windows).

Either http://ftp.digitalmars.com or http://downloads.dlang.org both contain
all the releases.  Some 
of the very earliest no longer exist, but every single 1.x and 2.x are there.

There's a perfect tool for that called DVM [1]. It's a 
cross-platform tool that allows you to install any version of 
DMD, old or new. It supports having multiple compilers installed 
and easily switch between them. You can have one terminal window 
with one version of the compiler and in another window you have a 
different version of the compiler.
