Under 'Release Notes to View', select '<release>_Release_Notes_Web',
and you will get to a page which lists the version of each individual
component that's part of the release, among other things.

The 9.2* versions are compatible.  There are small incompatibilities
if you are mixing 9.1* and 9.2*.
