The full version history of WebKit (from its inception inside Apple in CVS through today in Subversion) is available through this web site, or through any Subversion client.
http://anonsvn.opensource.apple.com/svn/ The project was open-sourced during WWDC 2005 (June 6-10, 2005), and the first nightly was built October 1, 2005. That's roughly Subversion revision r9350 to r10685. $ svn log -r{2005-06-10}:{2005-10-01} | grep '^r[0-9]' | wc -l 908 You might have an easier time simply reducing the bug first rather than reading through those commit entries or even doing a binary search by building previous versions. :) Besides, the act of reducing the bug may give you some insight in how to fix it, too.
