I'd like to thanks Shinnok and all other people on the john-dev list that
helped me this summer in my GSOC project.

They may or may not work on older versions. For older version of the previous operating systems as well as flavors of Linux/BSD, source build is the best option. You have instructions in the Wiki and the INSTALL distfile. It's pretty easy !

If you want to get access to all new features and bugfixes, we recommend compiling the latest 1.8.0.6-jumbo-1 release available at https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/releases/tag/1.8.0.6-jumbo-1. If you are a Windows user, you should compile John with Cygwin. On older version of john core and jumbo, you won't get proper John termination on Windows and the "show hash formats" feature.
