Yes, thank you! Apparently, these are found under the "Branches" tab
at github and can be found at URLs such as:

https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/tree/2.8.6

Click "Download" to get a .zip or .tgz file.

Someone should update:
http://monodevelop.com/Download

Or even replace the current link with the above. I tried to make an
account there:

http://monodevelop.com/Special:UserRegistration

but the captcha doesn't show.
