How to find out the Version of MySQL and other bundled software of Xampp !

I have been looking for version of MySQL for my xampp installation.

For those, who are not aware, xampp is a bundled package of many software and very easy to install. It has Apache, MySQL, PHP and many more.

You can read more about this in

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
So i had installed some version of xampp in my PC and completely forgot about it.

I had some issue with MySQL and wanted to know which version it was using , and oh! it was so difficult to find.

After that i came across "Readme" file which has everything written on it.

It is in xampp control panel-> Click on Help-> Now you see "Read Me" in another pop-up window

Click on ReadMe it will give all details of all software installed with xampp.

Something like this :

===============================
###### ApacheFriends XAMPP (Basispaket) version 1.7.0 ######

  + Apache 2.2.11
  + MySQL 5.1.30 (Community Server)
  + PHP 5.2.8 + PEAR (Support for PHP 4 has been discontinued)
  + PHP-Switch win32 1.0 (use "php-switch.bat" in the xampp main directory)
  + XAMPP Control Version 2.5 from www.nat32.com   
  + XAMPP Security 1.0   
  + SQLite 2.8.15
  + OpenSSL 0.9.8i
  + phpMyAdmin 3.1.1
  + ADOdb 4.990
  + Mercury Mail Transport System v4.52
  + FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.29
  + Webalizer 2.01-10
  + Zend Optimizer 3.3.0
  + eAccelerator 0.9.5.3 für PHP 5.2.8 (but not activated in the php.ini)
