1.9.1 stand for Ruby API compatibility, and is used for Ruby C
extension to determine any API change between versions.

This means that Ruby 1.9.2 is API compatible with 1.9.1

Is possible that in the future Ruby 1.9.3 introduce API breakage and
gain its own version of API (1.9.3)

Look for "Ruby 1.9 versioning scheme and packaging" in Ruby-Core
mailing list.
