We do not use version strings like "9.2.0beta1". Not sure where you
found that. "9.2beta1" was the version string for that beta release,
and then "9.2.0" was the first official release in the 9.2 series.

In bygone days this sort of thing was somewhat dependent on the whims
of whoever packaged a particular release tarball; but for the last few
years we've used src/tools/version_stamp.pl, which is intentionally
quite anal-retentive about what spellings it will allow.
