The hoped-for future version number is 9.2.3.  The "rc3" means release
candidate 3.  I find that rc2 is dated 17 September, and I find no
release notice for rc2 in between rc1 and rc3.  So it seems that your
guess that the "rc3" is a typo for "rc2" is likely to be correct.

MSW ports always happen later [so far].
