Hi,

Not very practical but you can find them with archive.org, e.g.:

https://web.archive.org/web/20160131231037/https://swift.org/documentation/
or with a direct link:

https://web.archive.org/web/20160131231037/https://swift.org/documentation/TheSwiftProgrammingLanguage(Swift2.2).epub

I think continuing to make available all versions of the ePub that were released under the Creative Commons license, seems to go hand-in-hand with the high degree of transparency elsewhere in the Swift - including being able to look through commits since the inception of the language.
