What version of Apache Sling does Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.2/6.3 use?

Question

I was wondering what version of Apache Sling does Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) 6.2/6.3 use? I've searched on various sites, including Adobe's own documentation, but haven't seem to be able to find a definitive answer to this.

At the moment I'm interested in which version org.apache.sling.servlets.get AEM 6.2/6.3 is using, but in the future I'll likely need to know other packages as well.

Thanks for any leads!

Sling is a set of coherent API working together. You can search for individual package version via AEM's sling console. — Imran Saeed
Fair enough...I found the Sling Console. However, I've looked under the different sections and don't see an answer to my question. Also, you say that Sling is a coherent API working together. The newest version of Sling from Apache's site seems to be version 8. Are you saying that version is made up of smaller pieces? If so the question is how to find out those smaller pieces...perhaps @Danzinger is working on the solution below... — risingTide
Sling 8 is the specification. All revisions are backward compatible to a large extent. If your question is about which Sling API version is implemented by a specific AEM version then the marked answer is misleading. — Imran Saeed
The answer was what I was going for; I updated my question for clarity. I wasn't aware that "Sling 8" was a specification when I asked my original question. I was more interested in specific bundles it seems. Thanks for the info about the specification though. — risingTide
I think this question is perfectly valid and not yet answered. What Sling API Docs should one refer for AEM 6.3? sling.apache.org/documentation/apidocs.html — Cris Rockwell

Here you have the versions for 6.2, but keep in mind that depending on your installed Feature Packs, versions may vary. Mine are not GA either, so you may see some versions that don't match the ones on the initial releases.

To check them in your own AEM installation, go to the AEM Web Console here: http://localhost:YOUR_PORT_HERE/system/console/bundles. You will see something like this:
