I thought that for software versions 9.1 < 9.1.9 and means that 9.1
preceding the 9.1.9. And first thing that comes to my mind about recent
changes is a "template" system, there was '<s' and etc now it is 'C-c
C-,'. The '9.1' version (org from git) has 'Structure Templates' while
'9.1.9' version (org shipped with Emacs) doesn't have that section.

I prefer search for information in most recent docs than in "out-dated"
(see example with 'Structure Templates' above). So simple check of
version would help to find out what document is 'fresh' enough.
