I have checked the change log history.txt file, but not very sure. It
could be 6.9.2 or 7.0.0.

Here I copy/paste part of the file:

QuoteChangelog:
------------------------
FreePascal trunk (future V7.0.0): (r* refers to FPC subversion
revision/commit)
- fix some filter functions working with incorrect parameters (r25755)
- add support for memo and index stream so no disk files are needed
when using streams
- clarification on field types; remove some workarounds (r24169) todo:
reinstate depending on test set
- initial support for (Visual) FoxPro files (r24139)
- annotated constants/file structure (r24139)
- factored out get version/get codepage subprocedure for readability
(r24139)
- split out existing support for Visual FoxPro and Foxpro (r24109)
  so future Visual FoxPro only features can be implemented
- implemented FindFirst, FindNext, FindPrior, FindLast (r24107)
- compile fix for FPC 2.6.2 (r24069), possibly useful for Delphi

------------------------
V6.9.2

- compile fixes for delphi 4, 5 (pdouble)
- fix indexes to work properly with ansi upper/lower casing

The version information inside the source is not always maintained.
You can better use svn to see what the latest commit is before the
release of FPC 3.0.0.
The history.txt is last touched before release in  27994, and
indicates an age of 20 months, but there are several newer commits for
3.0.0 on other files.
TDbf itself is last touched before release in 29398. The version is
still adverised as version 7.0.

Both 3.0.2-RC's and trunk contain additional commits, some important.
Note that FPC's version is actually maintained. If you come from
Delphi you are probably using a very old version (5 or below)
