https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1442584/MacSOUP_2.4.6.sea.hqx will
run from System 7 through to 9, IIRC.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1442584/MacSOUP-2.8.3.dmg is newer,
though really not more useful, and runs from MacOS 9 though to OS X
10.6, IIRC.

The latest upgrade made it compatible with Mavericks. Can anyone
 confirm problems with Yosemite?

Version 2.8.4 from 2013 works great with Yosemite. See my headers.

No. MacSOUP 2.8.4 was released on 6 October 2013.

It fixed one bug which had annoyed me for several years: earlier
versions didn't notice that the UTC offset had changed on daylight
saving transitions, resulting in posts I made having a timestamp off by
an hour until I quit and relaunched MacSOUP.

2.8.4 also claims compatibility with Mavericks. I think I remember some
minor issues with 2.8.3 in recent OS X versions, so updating to 2.8.4
was worthwhile. It has been working fine for me in Yosemite as well.

Opps, I'm still using v2.8.3. And now I remember why - v2.8.4 made a few
changes I simply didn't need to deal with, at the expense of the most
minor inconvenience of the daylight savings timestamp bug. Since I still
use OS X 10.6, it made sense to stick with v2.8.3.
